 Sean R. Eddy, Ph.D.
In the January 2005 issue of PLoS Biology, Eddy, who at the time was an HHMI investigator at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, described a mathematical model that puts hard numbers on the need to keep sequencing genomes from diverse organisms.
Eddy's team has used this approach to predict a few hundred new RNA genes in the genome of the bacterium Escherichia coli, some of which they've confirmed experimentally.
Although Eddy does not yet have a defined research plan for his Janelia Farm lab, he's planning to branch out—or back, as the case may be.

 ICE RECORDS :: EDDY GRANT

When the mid-eighties pressure of his solo success again threatened to compromise his newly defined gameplan, Eddy moved his family back to the Caribbean, not to his birthplace of Guyana, but as a compromise with commercial reality, to the island of Barbados, where communications with the outside world were more highly developed.

 GuideLines - Eddy Turns
Eddy turn refers to the action of moving from the main current into an eddy, or vice-versa, and is also commonly referred to as "peeling" in and out, or "eddying" in and out.
Whether you're eddying in, or peeling out of an eddy, your goal is to break completely through the eddy line and to carve a smooth, arcing turn in which your kayak maintains its forward momentum.
A second issue to consider is that eddy lines are most defined and narrowest at their source (the top), which makes it the preferred area to cross, as there is less "funny water" and is more predictable.

The magnetic field produced by the eddy currents is at right angles to the magnet's field, distorting it to account for the forces between the tube and magnet, which we have accounted for in another way.
