How to make grades meaningful

Quantitative Phase Microscopy: how to make phase data meaningful.

The continued development of hardware and associated image processing techniques for quantitative phase microscopy has allowed superior phase data to be acquired that readily shows dynamic optical volume changes and enables particle tracking. Recent efforts have focused on tying phase data and associated metrics to cell morphology. One challenge in measuring biological objects using interferome...

How to make an eye.

The eye is an organ of such remarkable complexity and apparently flawless design that it presents a challenge to both evolutionary biologists trying to explain its phylogenetic origins, and developmental biologists hoping to understand its formation during ontogeny. Since the discovery that the transcription factor Pax6 plays a crucial role in specifying the eye throughout the animal kingdom, b...

How to Make Chord Correct

The Chord distributed hash table (DHT) is well-known and frequently used to implement peer-to-peer systems. Chord peers find other peers, and access their data, through a ring-shaped pointer structure in a large identifier space. Despite claims of proven correctness, i.e., eventual reachability, formal modeling has shown that the Chord ring-maintenance protocol is not correct under its original...
