Issey Miyake is a designer who has made great contributions to the innovative development of clothing by fusing Eastern and Western cultures and applying cutting edge technology. Mr. Issey Miyake, with his originality, has recaptured the relationship between plane fabrics and the three-dimensionality of the human body and formulated the epoch-making concept of „a piece of cloth“ rooted in Eastern culture. Applying this concept and cutting edge technology to his designs, he has been creating clothing that can become a part of people’s lives, cutting across time, national borders, and classes.
Dr. Akaike contributed enormously to statistical science and modeling with the development of the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), which was formulated in the early 1970s. The AIC, a new practical, yet versatile criterion for the selection of statistical models, based on basic concepts of information mathematics. This criterion established a new paradigm that bridged the world of data and the world of modeling, thus contributing greatly to the information and statistical sciences.
Outstanding contribution to life sciences with the development of a flow cytometer that uses fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies were developed by Dr. Leonard Arthur Herzenberg. Dr. Herzenberg is an immunologist and geneticist who took the lead in developing a flow cytometer called the Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) that automatically sorts viable cells by their properties. Combining fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies as FACS reagents with this instrument, Dr. Herzenberg made an enormous contribution towards the dramatic advancement of life sciences and clinical medicine as we know it today.
