The MTI Research Centre has grown very rapidly during its six years of existence. This paper reports on the story of that expansion, key MTI foci, projects and initiatives as well as the unique and cohesive character of the centre.

Vaccine information of varying quality is available through many different sources. We describe the creation, release and utilization of ReadyVax, a new mobile smartphone app providing access to trustworthy, evidence-based vaccine information for a target audience of healthcare providers, pharmacists, and patients (including parents of children). We describe the information content and technica...

Smooth tests for the logarithmic distribution are compared with three tests: the first is a test due to Epps and is based on a probability generating function, the second is the Anderson-Darling test, and the third is due to Klar and is based on the empirical integrated distribution function. These tests all have substantially better power than the traditional Pearson-Fisher X2 test of fit for ...

Based on our previous work we propose to track multiple ground targets with GMTI (GroundMoving Target Indicator) sensors as well as with imagery sensors. The scope of this paper is to fuse the attribute type information given by heterogeneous sensors with DSmT (Dezert Smarandache Theory) and to introduce the type results in the tracking process to improve its performances.

Image-based screening has become a mature field over the past decade, largely due to the detailed information that can be obtained about compound mode of action by considering the phenotypic effects of test compounds on cellular morphology. However, very few examples exist of extensions of this approach to bacterial targets. We now report the first high-throughput, high-content platform for the...

We introduce a novel method for three-dimensional metamorphosis between two polyhedral objects with different topologies. The 3D objects are represented as multiple 2D images and well-understood 2D morphing techniques are used to morph between their 2D representations. The resulting 2D morphs are used to reconstruct the intermediate 3D objects. The user controls the metamorphosis by matching fe...

The predictions made for fold recognition and modeling accuracy at the 1996 Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction meeting (CASP2) were assessed to discover which groups did best. With 32 groups making a total of 369 predictions, it was necessary to use simple criteria for distinguishing between the entries. By focusing on the predictors' ability to use the sequence of the unknown target s...

A [3 + 3] modular self-assembly gives rise to the formation of basket-shaped, crown ether-functionalized, nano-sized trimetallo-macrocycles, which function as structural analogues of cyclotriveratrylenes (CTV).
