Facial models allow "band-efficient" video communication
Is it possible to combine a three-dimensional wire model of a face with real pictures of the same face? And is it possible to get the computer that is forming the new image to follow the face even when the person in question makes sudden movements or partially covers her face with her hand? These are a couple of the research questions for the... view more... (2002-02-11)

Doctors use diagnostic sonography or ultrasound to visualise organs and other internal structures of the human body.   view more (2008-11-05)

Computer model can predict human behavior and learning
A computer model that can predict how people will complete a controlled task and how the knowledge needed to complete that task develops over time is the product of a group of researchers, led by a professor from Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology.   view more (2008-11-10)

Grouse house at the click of a mouse
Ecologists at Aberdeen University have developed a new computer tool that could help save the capercaillie from extinction in Scotland. Speaking at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Dr Keith Marshall will explain that the new computer model can be used to... view more...

Computer Based Model Helps Radiologists Diagnose Breast Cancer
Radiologists have developed a computer based model that aids them in discriminating between benign and malignant breast lesions, according to a study performed at the University Of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison, WI.   view more (2009-04-06)

Let Your 3D Image Star in Your Favourite Film, Video, Pop Promo or Computer Game
The new 3D model can be imported into computer generated scenes using standard 3D modelling packages for the PC/Mac. The new technology captures a 3D model of a person from a set of colour images. Compared with available 3D laser-scanning based technologies the new approach is relatively low-cost and captures models with a high-quality appearance.... view more... (1999-08-24)

Pump prices and Pompeii crisis
The price of petrol at any station in Yorkshire can be predicted to the nearest 0.5p per litre by a new computer model developed by geography PhD student Alison Heppenstall at the University of Leeds. She found that the location of a station is just as likely to affect the pump cost as changes in oil prices.   view more (2004-09-29)

Surf not up for Palaeozoic creatures - new model reveals ancient sea was a giant lake
The ancient sea was more like a giant salty lake than a rolling ocean, report scientists from Imperial College London in the May edition of the Journal of the Geological Society. A new computer model that simulates how tides in North West Europe would have behaved 300 million years ago shows a sea with so little movement that it was unlike any on... view more... (2005-05-09)

Super-computer reaches for the stars
Scientists at the University of York have been awarded a £234,000 grant for a powerful computer, called Beowulf, that will help them model large and fundamental happenings in the universe - from the evolution of the stars to the way in which DNA works. They will be using the grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council... view more... (2002-02-05)

NIST defining the expanding world of cloud computing
A working definition for cloud computing-a new computer technique with potential for achieving significant cost savings and information technology agility-has been released by a team of computer security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2009-05-22)

New engineering methods turn medical scans into plastic replicas
A method of integrating medical imaging with engineering design has been developed by a University of Sussex engineer. Dr Panos Diamantopoulos is confident that his three-dimensional patient-specific replicas, manufactured by a process known as rapid prototyping, will become invaluable tools to health professionals for diagnosis, surgical... view more...

Norwich scientists grow snapdragons in microchips
Scientists from the John Innes Centre (JIC)(1) and University of East Anglia(UEA)(2) in Norwich have today reported that they have been able to ‘grow’ snapdragon(3) petals in a computer. The research team used a computer programme to simulate the growth of snapdragon petals, this allowed them to modify the key processes in petal... view more... (2003-03-10)

Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For example, the model shows that reducing the amount... view more...

Virtual reality and computer technology improve stroke rehabilitation
Israeli hospitals have recently started to use virtual reality therapy for stroke patients. One commonly used program has the patient watch his virtual image on a screen.   view more (2008-03-11)

Revolutionary technology bringing fish to the desert
The world-first project will help to provide people living in barren regions with a vital source of protein and a valuable, if unlikely, cash crop. The intensive fish-growing system being developed can be set up anywhere in the world. Environmental geochemist Michael Krom is co-ordinating the £600,000 international project, which aims to... view more... (1999-02-12)

A novel model to pinpoint human androgen receptor targets developed
A novel computational model to pinpoint androgen receptor targets within the human genome was recently reported.   view more (2005-11-01)

Combine and shorten distribution channels
Two years ago, the merger of the German car manufacturer Daimler Benz and the US Chrysler Group to form DaimlerChrysler AG caused a great stir throughout the world. For the two giants of the automobile industry, the merger posed a great challenge in a variety of ways. One key issue was to link the two existing and fully autonomous distribution... view more...

Scientists step closer to realising invisible technology
A unique computer model designed by a mathematician at the University of Liverpool has shown that it is possible to make objects, such as aeroplanes and submarines, appear invisible at close range.   view more (2007-05-04)

Key to avoiding whiplash injury may lie in head restraint positioning
The study by Brian Stemper, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurosurgery, resulted in the most comprehensively validated computer model for whiplash reported in scientific literature.   view more (2006-12-12)
