In proteomics 2-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) is the most widely used method for analyzing protein mixtures qualitatively. There are, however, a lot of noise and measurement biases which needs to be accounted for both in the localization of spots as well as in the quantitative measurement of protein expression. Previous techniques for denoising 2D gels are based on thresholding, smoothing and spot recognition. Wavelet transformations have also been applied to denoise 2D gels, however these techniques are typically in the frequency domain and they tend to shift spots slightly. In this paper, we improve the protein spot detection process by wavelet de-noising based on genetic algorithm.

A correct diagnostics together with the early prediction of failure or malfunction of the system are the major issues in modern maintenance. Nowadays, the time-honored diagnostics may be inadequate and lead to omitting failures, resulting in higher costs of repairing damaged equipment. That is why the interest in intelligent diagnostics increases due to the possibility of better interpretation of the component status and early failure prediction. One of the ways of determining the device condition is to measure and analyze the temperature of multiple points on the device. Thermographics may show a beginning of significant wear of a component, and enable a repair or replacing before the failure appears. The paper presents the key aspects of the diagnostics with thermal images, including: technology mapping, mapping algorithms, together with a presentation of available software solutions.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with motor symptoms, including tremor. The DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) involves electrode implantation into subcortical structures for long-term stimulation at frequencies greater than 100Hz. The mechanism by which chronic, electrical Deep Brain Stimulation with high frequency, suppresses tremor in Parkinson's disease is unknown, but might involve a gradual change in network properties controlling the generation of tremor. First, we performed linear and nonlinear analysis of the tremor signals to determine a set of parameters and rules for recognizing the behavior of the investigated patient and to characterize the typical responses for several forms of DBS. Second, we found patterns for homogeneous group for data reduction. We used Data Mining and Knowledge discovery techniques to reduce the number of data. Then, we found "clusters" the most well-known used and commonly partitioning methods used: K-means and K-medoids. To support such predictions, we develop a model of the tremor, to perform tests determining the DBS reducing the tremor or inducing tolerance and lesion if the stimulation is chronic.

This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. The cerebellar controller is a modified MOSAIC model which adaptively controls the arm. We call this model ORF-MOSAIC (Organized by Receptive Fields MOdular Selection And Identification for control). The arm features a musculoskeletal model which is controlled through muscle activations by means of optimization techniques. With as few as 16 modules, we were able to control the arm in a workspace of 30×30 cm. The system was able to adapt to an external field as well as handling new objects despite delays. The discussion section suggests that there are similarities between the microzones in the cerebellum and the modules of this new model.

The extraction and representation of information from volume data are important research avenues in computer-based visualization. The interpretation of three- or multi-dimensional data from various scanning devices is important to medical imaging, diagnosis and treatment, reliability and sustainability analyses in various industrial branches, and, in more general terms, information visualization. In this paper, we present several approaches for the classification and representation of relevant information from volume data sets. The techniques are based on the gradient vector, a property directly derived from the original volume data. We show how this property can be computed and subsequently used for classification through gradient-based one- and multi-dimensional transfer functions, as well as for the enhancement of surface features. The described techniques are illustrated through images generated using our volume rendering framework, from Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data sets. The resulting images show how gradient-based techniques are suited for improved volume classification and the better extraction of meaningful information.
