Advanced Microscopy – Zooming in on the Big Idea in Pathology Funded Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this initiative, the Harvard Catalyst Reactor Program invited investigators to submit innovative pilot grant applications that utilized the advanced Zeiss microscopes at the Harvard Center for Biological Imaging (HCBI), with a focus on advancing an area of clinical investigation centered on pathology. Applications were required to (1) address areas of pathology that cannot be addressed using current technology applied in clinical practice or (2) provide substantial improvements on current practice. The awarded projects center on the development of new diagnostics and biomarkers or provide new insight into the pathophysiology of disease.

Big Ideas, Small Features: Utilizing Advanced Microscopic and Nanoscale Technologies to Further Human Healthcare Funded Projects
This initiative of the Harvard Catalyst Reactor Program provided funding of up to $50,000 in funding and access to the Harvard Center for Biological Imaging (HCBI), which features advanced Zeiss microscopes, or the Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS), that offers electron microscopy, nanoscale fabrication, and nanoscale analysis capabilities, or access to both. Funding will support the innovativ...
متن کامل“Dismantling the Big” Critiquing the Western Development Model and Foreign Aid and Analyzing Alternatives for Domestic Development of Dams in Nepal
This paper argues for the importance of scale, management and sovereign-led development in considering a more human-centric model for Third World development. It begins by reviewing the history of the mainstream Western development model through the evolution of modernization theory and foreign aid. It explores general critiques of this model offered by scholars, focusing on unequal power relat...
متن کاملTuning Shape Parameter of Radial Basis Functions in Zooming Images using Genetic Algorithm
Image zooming is one of the current issues of image processing where maintaining the quality and structure of the zoomed image is important. To zoom an image, it is necessary that the extra pixels be placed in the data of the image. Adding the data to the image must be consistent with the texture in the image and not to create artificial blocks. In this study, the required pixels are estimated ...
متن کاملImage Zooming using Non-linear Partial Differential Equation
The main issue in any image zooming techniques is to preserve the structure of the zoomed image. The zoomed image may suffer from the discontinuities in the soft regions and edges; it may contain artifacts, such as image blurring and blocky, and staircase effects. This paper presents a novel image zooming technique using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It combines a non-linear Fourth-ord...
متن کاملA New Technique for Image Zooming Based on the Moving Least Squares
In this paper, a new method for gray-scale image and color zooming algorithm based on their local information is offered. In the proposed method, the unknown values of the new pixels on the image are computed by Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation based on both the quadratic spline and Gaussian-type weight functions. The numerical results showed that this method is more preferable to biline...
