4 unusual facts about Median


Harpagus

"Upon Mazares' death, Harpagus was sent down to the coast to succeed to his command. He also was of the race of the Medes, being the man whom the Median king, Astyages, feasted at the unholy banquet, and who lent his aid to place Cyrus upon the throne..."

Harpagus, also known as Harpagos or Hypargus (Ancient Greek Ἅρπαγος; Akkadian: Arbaku), was a Median general from the 6th century BC, credited by Herodotus as having put Cyrus the Great on the throne through his defection during the battle of Pasargadae.

When asked why she wanted to study Nutrition, by The New York Observer, Fiscella replied "Both of my parents are doctors, so we were always the health-nut family. I think I always wanted to do something in the medical field a little bit, but not as far as being a doctor, so this is a good median".

Oxus Treasure

Sir John Boardman regards the gold scabbard, decorated with tiny figures showing a lion hunt, as pre-Achaemenid Median work of about 600 BC, drawing on Assyrian styles, though other scholars disagree, and the British Museum continues to date it to the 5th or 4th centuries.

Strictly standardized mean difference

In a confirmatory or primary screen with replicates, for the i-th test compound with n replicates, we calculate the paired difference between the measured value (usually on the log scale) of the compound and the median value of a negative control in a plate, then obtain the mean \bar{d} i and variance s i^2 of the paired difference across replicates.

In a primary screen without replicates, assuming the measured value (usually on the log scale) in a well for a tested compound is X i and the negative reference in that plate has sample size n N, sample mean \bar{X} N , median \tilde{X} N , standard deviation s N and median absolute deviation \tilde{s} N , the SSMD for this compound is estimated as
