Inspected translated original, printed pp. 1–3: optical-rotation measurements, control of acidity and temperature, mutarotation interference and early reaction rates at different sucrose concentrations. The concept article distinguishes its modern quasi-steady-state derivation from the original binding-equilibrium interpretation.

Erez Lieberman is an author of the 2007 language-evolution paper. The Aiden laboratory publication list records that paper under this byline and later work under Erez Lieberman Aiden, the name used on his author website.[ref]
https://aidenlab.org/publications.html. 2007 publication and subsequent author records
[ref]His work includes developing Hi-C, a method for measuring large-scale spatial relationships within genomes. The original 2009 study chemically fixed chromatin contacts, digested the DNA, marked fragment ends and ligated nearby ends. Sequencing the joined fragments yielded pairs of genomic positions whose contact frequencies could be compared.[ref]
Comprehensive Mapping of Long-Range Interactions Reveals Folding Principles of the Human Genome by Erez Lieberman-Aiden and others. Figure 1 and experimental workflow
The resulting contact map is a population-level measurement, not a literal photograph of one chromosome's shape. The study tested features such as preferential contacts within the same chromosome and large-scale compartmentalization. A contact count reflects experimental recovery as well as physical proximity, so interpretation depends on normalization and the assay's sampling process.[ref]

Jean-Baptiste Michel helped develop quantitative analysis of large digitized text collections. He is a lead and corresponding author of the study introducing culturomics, which examined changes in language and recorded culture using a large book corpus.[ref]
A central measurement is relative word frequency: occurrences of a word or phrase in books assigned to a year are normalized by the number of corresponding word sequences in that year's corpus. A raw count can rise merely because more text was digitized. For an elementary illustration, one hundred occurrences among a million tokens and two hundred among four million tokens represent a halving of relative frequency, despite the doubled count.
The data measure the contents of a sampled textual archive. Book selection, date metadata and recognition errors can affect the apparent history of a word; frequency is not a direct measurement of how many people held a belief. The study's contribution was to make large-scale temporal comparisons computationally tractable and quantitatively inspectable, while exposing the importance of the observation process.[ref]

Joe Jackson coauthored the 2007 quantitative study of English irregular-verb regularization. Its byline identifies the author with Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.[ref]
Quantifying the evolutionary dynamics of language by Erez Lieberman and others. Byline and affiliations
The authors tracked a historical cohort of irregular verbs and related survival of irregular forms to word frequency. This illustrates survival analysis applied to cultural transmission: the object being lost is a linguistic form. The estimated regularization rate describes an aggregate pattern, without implying that all low-frequency verbs change together.[ref]

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
