The 39 Steps: A Cautionary Tale

The 39 steps: a cautionary tale of quantitative 3-D fluorescence microscopy.

feature short articles devoted to microscopy and digital imaging. The subject matter will address details of the methods used to produce images of cells and tissues at any magnification and resolution, and might include “tricks-of-the-trade”, novel methods of specimen preparation, practices of image collection, tips on the digital manipulation and publication of images and historical perspectives.

The ‘39 steps’: an algorithm for performing statistical analysis of data on energy intake and expenditure

The epidemics of obesity and diabetes have aroused great interest in the analysis of energy balance, with the use of organisms ranging from nematode worms to humans. Although generating energy-intake or -expenditure data is relatively straightforward, the most appropriate way to analyse the data has been an issue of contention for many decades. In the last few years, a consensus has been reache...

The Order Steps of an Analytic Combinatorics

‎Analytic combinatorics aims to enable precise quantitative predictions of the properties of large combinatorial structures‎. ‎This theory has emerged over recent decades as essential both for the analysis of algorithms and for the study of scientific models in many disciplines‎, ‎including probability theory‎, ‎statistical physics‎, ‎computational biology and information theory‎. ‎With a caref...

I-25: New Steps towards The Artificial Ovary

Background: In recent years, transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue has proved to be a promising approach to restore fertility in cancer patients. However, such a procedure cannot be carried out in women at risk of ovarian involvement due to the threat of reintroducing malignant cells. The aim of this study was therefore to create an artificial ovary as an alternative to restore fertil...
