Picture this - automatic image categorisation
Creating, storing and transmitting visual images has become increasingly easy. Yet the same problem always arises - how to categorise or classify visual images automatically without using external metadata or image thumbnails? There now may be an answer.   view more (2005-05-02)

Seismic research without artificial source
Researchers at TU Delft have made progress in the theoretical foundation of a special subsoil imaging technique. This technique could be used to chart underground mineral resources, it is called "acoustic daylight imaging". The method uses natural acoustic signals, already present in the earth, to create an image of the subsurface... view more... (2004-12-21)

New Science Centres Require Millions in Annual Subsidies
An annual subsidy of £50 - £100 million will be needed to keep the UK's new science centres afloat, suggests John Beetlestone, retired founding Director of Techniquest, in an opinion piece in this month's Science & Public Affairs. The Millennium Commission and others have recently invested around £1 billion in science... view more... (2000-04-10)

Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear.   view more (2007-10-29)

Study Suggests Buddhist Deity Meditation Temporarily Augments Visuospatial Abilities
Meditation has been practiced for centuries, as a way to calm the soul and bring about inner peace. According to a new study in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, there is now evidence that a specific method of meditation may temporarily boost our visuospatial abilities (for example, the ability to... view more...

Engineering: A Risky Business?
Increased public interest in emerging technologies and subsequent concern over the safety of areas such as mobile phones, genetically modified food, rail travel and nuclear power has been dominating the headlines. Yet often the public's perception of risk differs to that of the scientific and engineering community. Why is that, who's to blame and... view more... (2000-04-26)

Just-Right PET/CT Imaging for Patients of All Sizes
Researchers discovered that diagnostic accuracy of images can be improved for people of varying weight and size with use of a fully 3-D, time-of-flight positron emission tomography (PET) with computed tomography (CT) scanner.   view more (2006-06-05)

Potential leap forward in electron microscopy
MIT electrical engineers have proposed a new scheme that can overcome a critical limitation of high-resolution electron microscopes: they cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy the samples.   view more (2009-10-07)

Imaging The Invisible: A New Look At Space Weather
How is it possible to image tiny particles that are normally invisible? What happens to our planet and its surroundings when huge solar storms collide with Earth's magnetic shield? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed this week during the UK/Ireland National Astronomy Meeting in Dublin. Our Earth is continually buffeted by a... view more... (2003-03-31)

Computer vision for the blind
The white cane used by the blind as a travel aid may be universal, but it is not always adequate when it comes to pedestrian crossings. Although some crossings make a sound when it is safe to cross, many do not, and it is at these crossings that the blind need to know when the green man is showing. Adaptations of the white cane have been made,... view more... (2002-08-15)
