The recent resolution revolution in cryo-EM has led to a massive increase in demand for both time on high-end cryo-electron microscopes and access to cryo-electron microscopy expertise. In anticipation of this demand, eBIC was set up at Diamond Light Source in collaboration with Birkbeck College London and the University of Oxford, and funded by the Wellcome Trust, the UK Medical Research Counc...

I thank Dean Martin for his very flattering introduction. I thank the College for bestowing a chair to me and the Mathematics Department for providing a wonderful atmosphere for my work. I thank Don Lewis and my current and former colleagues for their support. I take this opportunity to also thank my family, friends, and collaborators. My mathematical horizon has widened considerably after join...

We derive diierent representations of compact QED xed to Lan-dau gauge by the lattice Faddeev-Popov procedure. Our analysis nds that (A)Nielsen-Olesen vortices arising from the compactness of the gauge-xing action are quenched , that is, the Faddeev-Popov determinant cancels them out and they do not innuence correlation functions such as the photon propagator; (B)Dirac strings are responsible f...

The Virtual Microscope is being designed as an integrated computer hardware and software system that generates a highly realistic digital simulation of analog, mechanical light microscopy. We present our work over the past year in meeting the challenges in building such a system. The enhancements we made are discussed, as well as the planned future improvements. Performance results are provided...

Upon release, Pokemon Go, an augmented reality technology based game garnered tremendous interest in the public, with an average of 20 million daily active users. The game combines geo-spatial elements along with gamification practices to incentivize it’s users movement in the physical world. Such incentives can have potential externalities to businesses associated with them. Using online revie...

Abstract During the solidification of binary metal alloys, chemical heterogeneities at product scale over a long distance range (1cm-1m) develop and this has detrimental effect on the resulting mechanical properties of cast products. Macrosegregation is of great concern to alloy manufacturers and end users as this problem persist. In this study, the use of process parameters namely casting spee...

A method that enables high precision extraction of transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimens in low contrast materials has been developed. The main idea behind this work is to produce high contrast markers on both sides of and close to the area of interest. The markers are filled during the depositing of the protective layer. The marker material can be of either Pt or C depending on whic...

Recent advances in networking, robotics, and computer technology allow today realtime diagnosis, consultation, and education by using images obtained through remote microscopy. This paper presents a new approach in telepathology, the Image Guided Decision Support (IGDS) system, which integrates components for both remote microscope control and decision support. Using the Micro-Controller compon...
