Digitization of full biopsy slides using the whole slide imaging technology has provided new opportunities for understanding the diagnostic process of pathologists and developing more accurate computer aided diagnosis systems. However, the whole slide images also provide two new challenges to image analysis algorithms. The first one is the need for simultaneous localization and classification o...

Oral presentations are commonly accompanied by a digital support, in the form of a slide presentation. However, interaction with these presentations is still underdeveloped, since users generally make use of the keyboard/mouse to switch slides or launch auxiliary videos and applications. In our work, we describe a novel interface to support slide presentations. Our approach uses buttons, voice ...

The plate test, a modification of the slide test described by Cadness-Graves was developed for the rapid identification of coagulase-positive staphylococci in conjunction with bacteriophage typing. An evaluation of 1,145 cultures by three coagulase-determination methods, the slide, tube, and plate tests, indicates that the plate test is as accurate as the slide tests, and the plate test agrees ...

Slide2Go is a collection of digitized glass slides on the Web from a pathology departments slide set for second year medical students. The virtual slide collection can be accessed anywhere using any Web browser with Adobe Flash Player. It simulates the experience of viewing a glass slide under an optical microscope. Rare and unusual cases can be preserved and shared worldwide. Medical education...

During a disaster, through the “2022 Comprehensive Measures to Secure Golden Time at Disaster Sites”, National Fire Agency (NFA) states that it aims for firefighters leave their fire depots within 60 s. This study considered use of “Dispatch slide” shorten target time (60 s) garage escape and travel times while using stairs slide were measured analyzed. The was about 11 s faster than stairs. st...
