SpikeNET is a program designed for simulating very large networks of asynchronous spiking neurons. Neurons are simulated with a limited number of parameters that includes classic properties like the post-synaptic potential and threshold, but also more novel features like dendritic sensitivity. SpikeNET can be used to simulate networks with millions of neurons and hundreds of millions of synaptic weights. Optimization of computation time and the aim of real time computation has been one of the driving forces behind the development of SpikeNET. It works on Unix. What SpikeNET can do * Perform image processing using biologically plausible network of neurons. * Simulate millions of integrate-and-fire neurons organized in retinotopical maps. * Connect these neuronal maps using projection files, and regroup common synaptic weights to save memory in order to be able to declare several hundreds of billions of synaptic connections. * Convert gray level images into lists of spikes (also SpikeNET can perform a variety of preprocessing on the input images). * Implement a complex mechanism for projection between neuronal maps of different sizes. * Implement supervised learning. * Implement the efficient neuronal Rank-Order-Coding scheme (optional)

AlloSource is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 on a promise to honor and respect the gift of donation by responsibly developing, processing and distributing life-saving and life-enhancing allografts for our communities. Today, each of our 300 employees continues to fulfill this promise through multi-shift, 360-day processing to the highest quality and service standards. We strive to be the tissue network patients and the world''s most respected transplant teams ask for by name. This is accomplished by understanding the needs of our doctors and by providing the best tissue for our recipients. We offer more than 200 standard and customized precision allograft products, and act as a trusted and knowledgeable partner to the medical community, all with the intention of maximizing medical impact. In 1995, Allosource evolved from a local tissue bank in Denver, Colorado into a national organization serving communities around the country. Today, AlloSource is one of the largest, most respected tissue banks in the United States. Through our growth we''ve remained committed to the wishes of donor families, the needs of our surgeon customers, and the hopes of our patient recipients. Our promise of doing more with life reflects our unwavering focus on integrity, quality, safety, and respect today, and into the future.

Narayana Hrudayalaya Tissue Bank and Stem Cell Research Center (NHTB-SCRC) is a joint venture between Rotary Bangalore Health City (RBHC) and Narayana Hrudayalaya. Our mission is to create awareness on Cord Blood Banking among the masses. Our vision is to make sure that every pregnant mother in India is able to afford to bank her child''s cord blood and cord tissue in a novel form of ������??Biological Insurance������??. The center would also assist in research and development of newer stem cell therapies. These goals are met while ensuring patient safety and well being by maintaining compliance with ICMR guidelines, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines, strict confidentiality and adherence to ethical standards. The private cord blood bank would store cord-blood and cord tissue derived stem cells for the exclusive use of clients who would pay for the cryo-storage, for a period of 21 years. These samples would be used for the child or its siblings anytime in the future, for therapy of various medical conditions. The public cord blood bank would enable us to collect cord blood from delivery and birthing centers, process these specimens, type their HLA signature and store them in ultra-low temperature conditions for use on prospective recipients. These recipients would have to be matched against their HLA signature with the stored stem cell concentrate. Patients with a disease treatable by stem cell therapy would have to have their HLA type known and they approach us for treatment. Such patients would be matched against our library of samples to identify a suitable match which would then be issued at a nominal cost. The cost of therapy would however be separate and informed to the patient before embarking on the treatment.

CiteXplore combines literature search with text mining tools for biology. Search results are cross referenced to EBI applications based on publication identifiers. Links to full text versions are provided where available. The underlying database is populated with data from Medline, Patents, C.B.A. and Citeseer. The site offers a quick search as well as an advanced search. Results of queries can be saved in formats compatible with commonly-used bibliographic management software and exported. We provide a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based service to retrieve data from the Citation database. Text mining is provided internally by Whatizit and externally by iHOP.

Radiopaedia is a rapidly growing open-edit radiology resource which has been primarily complied by radiologists and radiology residents / registrars / fellows from across the globe. Our mission is to create the best radiology reference available, and to make it available for free, forever, for all. It is designed to facilitate a meaningful collaboration between contributing users from across the globe, as well as allow non-contributors to browse through thousands of articles and interesting and illustrative cases as well as get involved in editing or adding content. Radiopaedia.org has two major components: 1. articles and 2. cases. Articles are entirely collaborative and cover any and all topics relevant to the practice of radiology. Cases belong to the contributing user, and are shared with the site, allowing them to be included in articles, as well as used in tutorials or quiz mode. While the primary aim of Radiopaedia.org is to allow the creation of an up to date resource for the radiology community, it is also about creating a community. It is focused on bringing together like-minded folk who can collaborate on Radiopaedia.org content as well as on other projects.

ICA is a quite powerful technique and is able (in principle) to separate independent sources linearly mixed in several sensors. For instance, when recording electroencephalograms (EEG) on the scalp, ICA can separate out artifacts embeded in the data (since they are usually independent of each other). This page intends to explain ICA to researchers that want to understand it but only have a weak background both in matrix computation and information theory. Arnaud Delorme''s explanations are as intuitive as possible and based on practical examples from Matlab. He would value your feedback on this page.

HMMSeg is a program for the scale-specific segmention of continuous genomic data using hidden Markov models (HMMs). It can segment multiple datasets simultaneously. Scale-specificity is achieved via an optional smoothing step using wavelets. HMMSeg is written in Java and may be downloaded for unrestricted use. It has been tested on Windows and several Unix-type operating systems.

An open visualization tool for the display of matrix data. It is available for download or interactive web use. It is a simple but powerful program for making visualizations of microarray data and many other data types. It generates PNG formatted images from text files of data. It is fast, easy to use, and reasonably flexible. It can be used to generate publication-quality images, or to act as a image generator for web applications. Our group has found it useful for imaging all kinds of matrix-based data, not just microarray data.

An integrated cross-species anatomy ontology representing a variety of entities classified according to traditional anatomical criteria such as structure, function and developmental lineage. The ontology includes comprehensive relationships to taxon-specific anatomical ontologies, allowing integration of functional, phenotype and expression data. Uberon consists of over 10000 classes (March 2014) representing structures that are shared across a variety of metazoans. The majority of these classes are chordate specific, and there is large bias towards model organisms and human.
