Using an endoscopic approach, small intraoral bone chambers, which are routinely obtained during tooth extraction and implantation, provide visual in vivo access to internal bone structures. The aim of the present paper is to present a new method to quantify bone microstructure and vascularisation in vivo. Ten extraction sockets and 6 implant sites in 14 patients (6 men / 8 women) were examined...

We have designed a series of computer sessions build around ImageJ (a public-domain software for image analysis), as a practical complement to a two-semester course in image processing. The students are challenged with simple practical imaging problems as they acquire hands-on practice by experimenting with image-processing operators. In the process, they also learn how to program standard imag...

Multispectral karyotyping analyzes all chromosomes in a single cell by labeling them with chromosome-specific probes conjugated to unique combinations of fluorophores. Currently available multispectral karyotyping systems require the purchase of specialized equipment and reagents. However, conventional laser scanning confocal microscopes that are capable of separating multiple overlapping emiss...

A bipartite random mapping TK,L of a finite set V = V1 ∪ V2, |V1| = K and |V2| = L , into itself assigns independently to each i ∈ V1 its unique image j ∈ V2 with probability 1/L and to each i ∈ V2 its unique image j ∈ V1 with probability 1/K . We study the connected component structure of a random digraph G(TK,L) , representing TK,L, as K → ∞ and L → ∞. We show that, no matter how K and L tend...
