Sachs suggests that with improved seeds, irrigation, and fertilizer, the crop yields in Africa and other places with subsistence farming can be increased from 1 ton / hectare to 3-5 tons / hectares.

The proof by of the case k = 6 of Hadwiger's conjecture is sufficient to settle Sachs ' question: the linkless graphs can be colored with at most five colors, as any 6-chromatic graph contains a K < sub > 6 </ sub > minor and is not linkless, and there exist linkless graphs such as K < sub > 5 </ sub > that require five colors.

Wieseltier appeared in one episode of the fifth season of The Sopranos, playing " Stuart Silverman ," a character whom Wieseltier described as " a derangingly materialistic co-religionist who dreams frantically of ' Wedding of the Week ' and waits a whole year for some stupid car in which he can idle for endless hours in traffic east of Quogue every weekend of every summer, the vulgar Zegna-swaddled brother of a Goldman Sachs mandarin whose son's siman tov u ' mazel tov is provided by a pulchritudinous and racially diverse bunch of shellfish-eating chicks in tight off-the-shoulder gowns.

Sachs, who recognized that the disease had a familial basis, proposed that the disease should be called amaurotic familial idiocy.

In 1969, John S. O ' Brien showed that Tay – Sachs disease was caused by an enzyme defect ; he also proved that Tay – Sachs patients could be diagnosed by an assay of hexosaminidase A activity.

Enzyme replacement therapy techniques have been investigated for lysosomal storage disorders, and could potentially be used to treat Tay – Sachs as well.

As Tay – Sachs disease is an deficiency of β-hexosaminidase A, by getting a substance that increases its activity, people affected will not be deteriorating as fast or not at all.

While for infantile Tay – Sachs disease, there is no β-hexosaminidase A so then the treatment would be ineffective.

Inspired by the example of Bolivia and advised by institutions like the International Monetary Fund and individuals like Jeffrey Sachs, many countries chose to use shock therapy in order to shake off the economic lethargy of the communist era and transition to the capitalist systems they wanted to be.
