“…From paper clips, wine and ink stains, to burns from candles, added pilgrim’s badges, pressed plants, locks of hair and unusual objects used as bookmarks, the examples on display reveal hidden and often surprising habits of reading and writing. …”

PCA based feature extraction for cell image retrieval by Ananthagunan Muthukumaran

“…The goal is to find out the eigenvectors (eigenimage) of the covariance matrix of the distribution, spanned by a training sot of cell mages. Later, every cell image is represented by a linear combination of these eigenvectors. …”

Techniques for analysis and integration of histology data and agent-based modelling of T cell-tumour interactions by Stephens, R

“…Immunotherapies are increasingly being developed to target aspects of the immune system, such as CD8+ T cells, in order to boost its anti-tumour response. In clinical trials of such therapies, patients are monitored in several ways, often including core-needle biopsies in which a small piece of the tumour is removed, stained for specific cell markers, and imaged.…”

DNA-based computing by Yong, Kian Yan

“…In this research, it is shown how DNA-based computing is used to find solutions to these problems, which involve logical thinking and are often NP hard complete. These include the shortest path, shortest spanning tree, maximum flow and maximum bipartite matching problems. …”

Electrochemical scrutinizing techniques on initial development of pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (PAO1) biofilms by Foo, Yu Hao

“…The accumulation of biofilms on the surface of industrial equipment is natural yet often detrimental. In clinical settings, biofilms forming on medical implants pose health risks for patients with compromised immune systems; biofilms release a variety of virulence factors and are extremely resistant to antibiotics. …”

A function-based mapping of sensory integration along the cortical hierarchy by Wei, W, Benn, RA, Scholz, R, Shevchenko, V, Klatzmann, U, Alberti, F, Chiou, R, Wassermann, D, Vanderwal, T, Smallwood, J, Margulies, DS

“…Sensory information mainly travels along a hierarchy spanning unimodal to transmodal regions, forming multisensory integrative representations crucial for higher-order cognitive functions. …”

The use of mobile phones among trishaw operators in Myanmar by Ling, Rich, Aricat, Rajiv George, Oreglia, Elisa, Panchapakesan, Chitra, Lwin, May Oo

“…Trishaw operators transport people and goods in a physically demanding job that often earns them as little as US$2 per day. Spanning the period before and after the widespread commercialization of mobile phones in the country, this research draws from interviews with trishaw operators in several locations. …”

Stomach tissue classification using autofluorescence spectroscopy and machine learning by Lim, Soo Y., Yoon, Hong M., Kook, Myeong-Cherl, Jang, Jin I., So, Peter T. C., Kang, Jeon W., Kim, Hyung M.

“…Abstract Background and objectives Determination of stomach tumor location and invasion depth requires delineation of gastric histological structure, which has hitherto been widely accomplished by histochemical staining. In recent years, alternative histochemical evaluation methods have been pursued to accelerate intraoperative diagnosis, often by bypassing the time-consuming step of dyeing. …”
