2nd GENERATION OF RSL’S SPECTRUM DATABASE “SPECCHIO”

The organised storage of spectral data described by according metadata is important for long term use and data sharing with other scientists. The recently redesigned SPECCHIO system acts as a repository for spectral field campaign and reference signatures. An analysis of metadata space has resulted in a non-redundant relational data model and efficient graphical user interfaces with underlying ...

2nd generation DNA sequencing meets functional genomics

introduction of the first 2nd generation DNA sequencing method five years ago heralded a paradigm shift and propelled us into a new era [1]. In contrast to the Sanger sequencing method that dominated DNA sequencing for nearly 30 years [2], 2nd generation sequencing analyzes clonal representations of the input DNA. Using highly parallel processing in microfluidic devices and stepwise addition of...

A 2nd generation autostereoscopic 3-D display

A useful and practical autostereoscopic 3-D display has been developed from an earlier experimental design which was demonstrated in 1990 [8]. The concept of the new autostereo display is unchanged from the earlier one. The use of commercially available components and purpose designed electronics, however, has meant we now have a practical and reliable autostereoscopic display to work with. We ...
