A big step toward the practical application of 3D holography with high- performance computers

Computer scientists have succeeded in developing a special purpose computer that can project high-quality 3D holography as a video. With the newly developed 'phase type' HORN-8, the calculation method for adjusting the phase of light was implemented, and the researchers were successful at projecting holography information as a 3D video with high-quality images. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128082711.htm

Microscope measures muscle weakness

Biotechnologists have developed a system to accurately measure muscle weakness caused by structural changes in muscle tissue. The new method allows muscle function to be assessed using imaging without the need for sophisticated biomechanical recordings, and could in future even make taking tissue samples for diagnosing myopathy superfluous. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128082713.htm

Computers successfully trained to identify animals in photos

Researchers trained a deep neural network to classify wildlife species using 3.37 million camera-trap images of 27 species of animals obtained from five states across the United States. The model then was tested on nearly 375,000 animal images at a rate of about 2,000 images per minute on a laptop computer, achieving 97.6 percent accuracy -- likely the highest accuracy to date in using machine learning for wildlife image classification. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127171421.htm

Researchers restore breathing, partial forelimb function in rats with spinal cord injuries

Millions of people worldwide are living with chronic spinal cord injuries, with 250,000 to 500,000 new cases each year -- most from vehicle crashes or falls. The most severe spinal cord injuries completely paralyze their victims and more than half impair a person's ability to breathe. Now, a breakthrough study has demonstrated, in animal models of chronic injury, that long-term, devastating effects of spinal cord trauma on breathing and limb function may be reversible. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127131559.htm
