Jan Liphardt

Jan Liphardt (born in 1972 in Germany) is a German biophysicist. His research primarily focuses on single molecule biophysics. As a postdoctoral fellow in the labs of Carlos Bustamante and Ignacio Tinoco Jr. in the physics department at University of California, Berkeley, he developed technologies that allowed single RNA molecules to grabbed and mechanically unfolded.
Subsequent work includes the development of "Plasmon Rulers" (with Paul Alivisatos), the use of super-resolution imaging to understand the organization of microbial biofilms (with Steven Chu), and the use of photo activation localization microscopy to characterize the organization of single transmembrane proteins (with Eric Betzig).
He is an associate professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University. His research has been cited more than 15,000 times.
==Mechanical Manipulation of Single Nucleic Acids==
In the original work performed in 2001, single RNA hairpins were attached to long RNA/DNA 'handles' which were chemically coupled to beads held by optical tweezers. The RNA/DNA handles allow nanometer scale movements (and piconewton range forces) to be applied and measured. This basic tool geometry has been cited by more than 1100 papers covering RNA structure/function (reviewed in), studies of thermodynamics of small perturbed systems (reviewed in), and studies of molecular machines that act on RNA, such as RNA helicases (reviewed in). The original work (and followup studies) are used in life sciences and nanotechnology textbooks to illustrate the energetics and kinetics of nucleic acid folding.
==NCI PS-OC Program==
In 2009, Liphardt became the principal investigator of one of 12 national physical science oncology centers, which were intended to bring physical scientists to cancer research.
==Biden Cancer Moonshot==
In 2016, as part of the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot, he led a team of scientists and volunteers from a Bay Area social network to build a system for cancer patients to share their healthcare data with teachers, researchers, and journalists.

Jan Lohstroh

Jan Lohstroh is a Dutch engineer and researcher known for his significant contributions to audio amplifier design, particularly in the field of Transient Intermodulation (TIM) distortion reduction. His work, in collaboration with Finnish researcher Dr. Matti Otala, led to the development of groundbreaking amplifier designs that were later implemented by the Norwegian audio company Electrocompaniet..
==Early Career and Research==
Lohstroh worked at the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where he conducted research on audio amplifier design. In 1973, he and Dr. Matti Otala presented a paper at an Audio Engineering Society conference, describing the design of an amplifier that eliminated the problem of Transient Intermodulation distortion
==The Lohstroh-Otala Amplifier==
Based on the theories presented by Lohstroh and Otala, Norwegian audio enthusiasts Per Abrahamsen and Svein Erik Børja approached Electrocompaniet with the idea of building a transistor amplifier. This led to the development of the first prototype, initially named the "Otala-Lohstroh amplifier"
The amplifier design was revolutionary for its time, featuring:
* Low Transient Intermodulation distortion
* High feedback (30dB)
* Impressive transient speed and bass control
==Impact on the Audio Industry==
The Lohstroh-Otala amplifier design had a significant impact on the audio industry:
# Electrocompaniet's Success: The design formed the basis for Electrocompaniet's line of amplifiers, which gained popularity among audiophiles and music professionals
# Michael Jackson's Productions: The Electrocompaniet amplifiers, based on Lohstroh's design, were favored by Bruce Swedien, Michael Jackson's sound engineer. Swedien used these amplifiers for mixing Jackson's albums, including the iconic HIStory in 1994.
# Influence on Other Manufacturers: The theories and designs of Lohstroh and Otala influenced other high-end audio manufacturers, including Harman Kardon's Citation XX series
==Legacy==
Jan Lohstroh's work continues to be recognized in the audio community. The "Lohstroh-Otala amplifier" is considered a landmark design that helped shape modern high-fidelity audio amplification. Although less well-known to the general public, Lohstroh's contributions to audio engineering have had a lasting impact on the quality of sound reproduction in both professional and consumer audio equipment.

Jan Poleszczuk

Jan Poleszczuk (born 1986) is a Polish mathematician and biologist known for his contributions in mathematical biology. As a mathematician working in the field of oncology, he supports biologists, medical doctors, physicists and chemists. His aim is to understand how gene mutations interact and how they affect cancer growth. His work is focused on increasing the effectiveness of existing therapies (radiotherapy and chemotherapy), which may improve the situation of many more patients more quickly than with new targeted drug therapies with limited effects. In radiotherapy, he created a model aimed at selecting, from among many metastases, this tumor in the patient's body, the irradiation of which will maximize the overall effectiveness of the therapy. He also used mathematical and computer methods to calculate and propose radiation therapy plans to harm the cancer as much as possible but preserve healthy tissues and organs. He is currently working on improving the dosage of chemotherapy so that it does not result in tumor resistance to treatment in relapses. He is a member of Polish Mathematical Society (Treasurer for years 2017-2020), Polish Radiation Research Society, Society for Mathematical Biology and American Association for Cancer Research.

Jan Rasmussen Sande

Jan Rasmussen Sande (July 18, 1760 – January 11, 1847) was a Norwegian sailor, farmer, and politician from Nøtterøy in Vestfold.
==Life==
He was born to Rasmus Kristenssön and Mari Kristensen in Sande, Nøtterøy, Vestfold, Norway on July 18, 1760. Sande's father was a tenant farmer on the Sande farm in Nøtterøy, and Sande himself took a mate's exam in Tønsberg and sailed around 1780 as a skipper on the "Frederikke Sofie" of Nøtterøy. The ship was captured and burned by the French, and Sande was subsequently held captive in France for three years. He sailed as a sailor for many years and took over his father's Sande farm in the 1790s, but continued to work as a skipper for many years.
Sande was the first representative for Jarlsberg county in the Norwegian Parliament in 1821 and at the subsequent parliamentary session in 1822. In 1821, he was a member of four committees, including the Constitution Committee, the Flag Committee, and the Navigation Examination Committee in Fredriksvern. He was one of those who submitted a drawing for a Norwegian flag in 1821. Sande was known to be able to speak ten different languages, including Greek and Latin.
His design was based on Christian Frederick's alternative flag proposal from 1814, but with a white cross instead of a grey cross.
He proposed a design for a Norwegian flag in 1821, which was one of several proposals submitted that year.
He died on January 11, 1847, at the age of 86.

Jan Urban (priest)

Jan Urban (born January 23, 1874 in Brok near Płock, died September 27, 1940 in Kraków) - Polish Jesuit, historian, promoter of the Neouniate church (Catholic Church of the Ordinariate for Eastern Catholics in Poland).
==Biography== 
He studied philosophy and theology at the Płock Theological Seminary. In 1899 he joined the Jesuit Order. In 1905 he was assigned to the Kraków publishing house Apostolstwo Modlitwy. Urban participated in two secret missions among the former Uniates in Podlachia (1902–1903 and 1907-09). In the years 1903–1907, he stayed in Saint Petersburg, preparing and distributing printed materials for former Uniates in Russian Empire: prayer books, brochures, and magazines. He later described his missionary experiences in the book Wśród unitów na Podlasiu (Among the Uniates in Podlasie) (1923). During World War I, Urban taught theology in Vidnava, Gräfenberg, Bavaria, Łódź Voivodeship. From 1918 to 1933, he served as editor-in-chief of the Polish Jesuit journal (and publishing house) Przegląd Powszechny Jan Urban at Polskie Tradycje - www.polskietradycje.pl/enAuthors/view/171. Due to the efforts of Urban and his predecessors, the journal was regarded as one of the high-quality social and cultural journals devoted to religious, philosophical, ethical, cultural, historical, and political issues. Pyszka, Stanisław (2017) - Myśl społeczna jezuitów Prowincji Galicyjskiej w latach 1884-1918 na łamach "Przeglądu Powszechnego", Rocznik Filozoficzny Ignatianum: 23 pp. 75–127 (1).
He published numerous books on civil and church affairs, as well as church history. In 1906 he wrote a biography of the Uniate martyr, Josaphat Kuntsevych|St. Josaphat Kuntsevych. Urban's 1923 historical study of the affair of Makrina Mieczyslavska (the Greek Catholic Church nun who was accepted and honored as a martyr in Paris and Rome in 1845-1846) attracted particular attention. In his book, Makrina Mieczyslavska in The Light of Truth, Urban analyzes her narrative and concludes that it is a fabrication.Urban, Jan (1923), Makryna Mieczysławska w świetle prawdy, nakł. Przeglądu Powszechnego, Kraków 1923. The story of Makrina and Urban's analysis of it are retold in the 2014 novel Matka Makryna by Jacek Dehnel. Dehnel, Jacek (2014), Matka Makryna, Warszawa: Wydawnictwo W.A.B. - Grupa Wydawnicza Foksal, ISBN 978-83-280-1643-9
Urban participated in several congresses and conventions concerning the union of churches. In 1935, he founded and co-edited the Neouniate magazines: K'Sojedinieniju and Da Złuczennia. He died on September 27, 1940 in Krakow.
