Making humans better and making better humans
The last 10 years has seen the development and deployment of new biotechnologies not just as potential treatments but also as potential enhancements. The definition and differentiation of treatment (therapy) from enhancement is an ongoing clinical, ethical and social debate that ranges across a proliferating number of convergent technologies. Many of these innovations will ‘come-on-line’ as pre...
متن کاملMaking better CRISPR libraries
A new algorithm improves the performance of CRISPR-based genetic screens in mammals.
متن کاملMaking Better Summary Evaluations
This is a position paper which reviews current approaches to the evaluation of automatic summarising systems in particular in the light of older literature targeted at manual abstractors. It identifies the need to improve the handling of novelty in the evaluation of automatically generated summaries and points out the possibility of using existing information retrieval evaluation resources as a...
متن کاملMaking Good Features Track Better
This paper addresses robust feature tracking. We extend the well-known Shi-Tomasi-Kanade tracker by introducing an automatic scheme for rejecting spurious features. We employ a simple and efficient outlier rejection rule, called X84, and prove that its theoretical assumptions are satisfied in the feature tracking scenario. Experiments with real and synthetic images confirm that our algorithm ma...
متن کاملMaking Better Influenza Virus Vaccines?
Killed and live influenza virus vaccines are effective in preventing and curbing the spread of disease, but new technologies such as reverse genetics could be used to improve them and to shorten the lengthy process of preparing vaccine seed viruses. By taking advantage of these new technologies, we could develop live vaccines that would be safe, cross-protective against variant strains, and req...
