European researchers are developing a new generation of optical microscopes for mobile phones where LEDs and tiny detectors in the camera can detect very small structures. The ChipScope project is funded by Union's Research Programme Horizon 2020.

We describe the traditional nonfractal and the new fractal methods used to analyze the currents through ion channels in the cell membrane. We discuss the hidden assumptions used in these methods and how those assumptions lead to different interpretations of the same experimental data. The nonfractal methods assumed that channel proteins have a small number of discrete states separated by fixed ...

A visual cryptography scheme (VCS) is a secret sharing method, for which the secret can be decoded by human eyes without needing any cryptography knowledge nor any computation. Variance is first introduced by Hou et al. in 2005 and then thoroughly verified by Liu et al. in 2012 to evaluate the visual quality of size invariant VCS. In this paper, we introduce the idea of using variance as an err...

In this paper, we presented a technique to determine player perception (a performance measure) through their online presence (media feedback), which is far more accurate than one determined by traditional means of looking at player statistics. The proposed model is a research-in-progress that takes into account the factors such as toughness of the fixtures, toughness of opponents, the character...

DISTATIS is a generalization of classical multidimensional scaling (MDS see the corresponding entry formore details on thismethod) proposed by Abdi et al., (2005). Its goal is to analyze several distance matrices computed on the same set of objects. The name DISTATIS is derived from a technique called STATIS whose goal is to analyze multiple data sets (see the corresponding entry for more detai...
