You see these images pop up everywhere. Custom magazine covers… And I was thinking that people have all this free time in their hands and they build it from scratch using Photoshop or similar tools.. Well this particular cover took me only 30 seconds. And I used a website to create it… Here is the link to [...]

For a long time I was thinking about identifying models in multiscale domain rather than converting time domain models into multiscale domain, but how can this be done? There are certain requirements:

* Model should be consistant accross scales
* Models at each scale should only contain relevant information for that scale
* Statistically models should be sound.
* Scales should represent either special or temporal resolutions.

Current multiscale modeling trends are having totally different model at each scale and matching the model at the interfaces by some boundry conditions. This would not describe real work problems as well since models are continous in real time.

If you take a signal and compress it and it shrinks drastically it means that the signal has some predictable features that the compression algorithm can pick up. So the more intelligent the compression algorithm the more features it can detect and the more it can compress.
There is a challange going on recently on how [...]

This is a test entry directly from Microsoft Live Writer. It captures Wordpress style and while you type you can exactly see how the final post is going to be. Using this it is possible to write long formatted text without the lengthy debugging efforts.
So far I like it.
It even has some picture effect [...]

There are so many resources out there on how to prepare the perfect presentation, but most of them are geared towards business presentation where 90% of the material is fluff. So looking nice is more important than how you present a difficult idea. This link describes the ingredients of a good academic presentation. It [...]

Okay this has nothing to do with Biology or Genetics. Perhaps on the fringes.Loopshaping is very powerful technique in linear controller design in frequency domain. Open or Closed loop transfer functions are subjected to a filter or controller that only allows certain frequencies to exit the system. Effectively eleminating  or better supressing unwanted frequencies. This [...]

An interesting site and associated blog on the less known and somehow lost work of Alan Turing. Especially interesting is the section on Turing’s work on mathematical biology. More can be found on the site. Here is the link.
