| Researchers develop defense against cyberattacks Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:23 AM PDT A group of journalists has reported the existence of the 'Hacienda' spy program. According to this report, five western intelligence agencies are using the Hacienda software to identify vulnerable servers across the world in order to control them and use them for their own purposes. Scientists have now developed free software that can help prevent this kind of identification and thus the subsequent capture of systems. |
| Key upgrade to genomics software will underpin global data sharing Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:21 AM PDT The rapidly rising volume of genomic data means that genomic scientists need fast and efficient methods to share, analyse and store sequence information. A major upgrade of Samtools, one of the most popular next-generation sequence analysis tools, now supports the highly efficient CRAM format, enabling researcher to easily compress and share their data, reducing costs and facilitating worldwide collaboration. |
| Wireless sensors and flying robots: A way to monitor deteriorating bridges Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:20 AM PDT As a report from the Obama administration warns that one in four bridges in the United States needs significant repair or cannot handle automobile traffic, engineers are employing wireless sensors and flying robots that could have the potential to help authorities monitor the condition of bridges in real time. |
| Make your mobile device live up to its true potential: As a data collection tool Posted: 14 Aug 2014 04:24 PM PDT Easy Leaf Area is a new, free program that calculates leaf surface area from digital images. Leaf measurements are often critical in plant physiological and ecological studies, but traditional methods have been time consuming and sometimes destructive to plant samples. Easy Leaf Area allows users to accurately measure leaf area from digital images in seconds. |
| Bypass commands from brain to legs through computer Posted: 14 Aug 2014 09:45 AM PDT Gait disturbance in individuals with spinal cord injury is attributed to the interruption of neural pathways from brain to the spinal locomotor center, whereas neural circuits locate below and above the lesion maintain most of their functions. An artificial connection that bridges the lost pathway and connects brain to spinal circuits has potential to ameliorate the functional loss. A research team has successfully made an artificial connection from the brain to the locomotion center in the spinal cord by bypassing with a computer and exercised control over walking. |
| Computation, collaboration lead to significant advance in malaria Posted: 14 Aug 2014 09:43 AM PDT A new computational method has been developed to study the function of disease-causing genes, starting with an important new discovery about a gene associated with malaria -- one of the biggest global health burdens. The researchers came up with a computational method that allows biological information to literally flow from gene to gene across a massive network across many genomes, known as the "supergenomic" network. |
| Realistic computer graphics: Technology from Germany makes it to Walt Disney Posted: 12 Aug 2014 09:18 AM PDT Creating a realistic computer simulation of how light suffuses a room is crucial not just for animated movies like "Toy Story" or "Cars". Special computing methods should ensure this, but they require great effort. Computer scientists have now developed a novel approach that turned out to be highly promising. |
