Volocity is the realization of Improvision's objective to provide the scientist with an interactive volume visualization system that will run on a standard desktop computer. Volume interactivity is the key to providing the user with an enhanced perception of depth and realism. Interactivity also allows the scientist to rapidly explore...
CodonCode Aligner is a leading software program for DNA sequence analysis. Widely used in evolution research, biogeography, and other biomedical fields, it offers many features not found in competing programs, including the ability to compare contigs with ClustalW and muscle, trace sharpening, roundtrip editing, and base calling with PHRED, as...
The adhesive protein mussels create allow them to stick tenaciously to virtually any type of material, including rocks, glass, metals, and wood. Now, researchers at North Carolina State University found a way to use this natural mussel glue along with a variation on the inkjet printer to make medical adhesives...
Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute processed test results manually, inhibiting the pace of work and limiting the time to think creatively about their work. To boost productivity, they adopted a custom High-Performance Computing HPC solution based on Windows HPC Server 2008. Now, test results are processed 600 percent faster;...

The program correctly handles missing data and provides reliable date arithmetic. MedCalc can import Excel, SPSS, DBase and Lotus files, and files...
A Biomedical Sensor Network BSN is a small-size sensor network for medical applications, that may contain tens of sensor nodes. This paper presents a formal model for BSNs using timed automata, where the sensor nodes communicate using the Chipcon CC2420 transceiver developed by Texas Instruments according to the IEEE 802.15.4...
Interactive exploration of terabyte and petabyte datasets has been identified as a critical enabler for scientists to glean new insights in a variety of disciplines, such as biomedical imaging, geosciences and high-energy physics. Practically, these large-scale datasets must flow among a Grid of instruments, physical storage devices, visualization displays, and...
Sonja Sucic, a PhD student at the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Queensland, was searching for a solution. Sucic needed a simple but effective way to create science posters for medical conference presentations. Previously, Sucic relied on Microsoft Word and GraphPad Prism, the statistical software used in...
RFID is evolving as a major technology enabler for identifying and tracking goods. RFID applications in biomedical area not only need to detect but also require monitoring and transmitting vital signals like the electrocardiogram and heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, etc. The basic building blocks of an RFID tag for...
The challenge was daunting: In the public domain alone, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database contains more than 7.9 million full text and drawings of U.S. patents since 1976 and full-page images since 1790. In addition, Medline, an indexing service for research in medicine and related fields provided by...
Fixed and mobile communications will continue to converge coming years. Amongst other, this is also a goal of the Next Generation Networking initiative adopted by The International Telecommunication Union for the 2005-2008 Study Period. While a general belief is the Internet will support the majority of services, it should be...
You've certainly read that nanotechnology can be used for many applications. Now, according to Nanowerk, researchers from the University of South Carolina have demonstrated that one electrically conductive polymer called polyaniline PANi could be used in conjunction with plant viruses to develop new materials. The researchers have used the rod-like...
Digital images play a key role in the work of medical professionals, whether in a diagnostic workflow, communication of findings, or patient education. The industry standard in digital imaging, Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 3 offers an affordable, easy-to-use comprehensive solution to handling the vast majority of native image formats. Now...
This came in a press release today from Arizona State University. Biomedical informatics is seen as critical to advancing "customized" medicine, in which care is tailored to specific health profiles of individual patients. It is also emerging as an essential tool in federal and state government...
