- Swarm approach to photography
02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
A new approach to cleaning up digital photos and other images has been developed by researchers in the UK and Jordan. The research, published recently in Inderscience's International Journal of Innovative Computing and Applications uses a computer algorithm known as a PSO to intelligently boost contrast and detail in an image without distorting the underlying features.

- Pittsburgh-based team engineers muscle, bone cell differentiation with aid of ink-jet printer
12-10-2006 · EurekAlert!
A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh has created and used an innovative ink-jet system to print "bio-ink" patterns that direct muscle-derived stem cells from adult mice to differentiate into both muscle cells and bone cells. The results, which could revolutionize the design of replacement body tissues, will be presented Sunday, Dec. 10 at the 46th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Diego.

- Databases must balance privacy, utility, says Carnegie Mellon statistics professor
08-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Agencies like the US Census Bureau produce a voluminous amount of data, much of which is of tremendous value to researchers. But the data also includes personal information that could be harmful were it to fall into the wrong hands. Thus, organizations that maintain such databases need to devise ways to protect individuals' privacy while preserving the value of the information to researchers, writes Carnegie Mellon University Statistics Professor George Duncan in a commentary in the Aug. 31 edition of the journal Science.

- Photo software creates 3-D world
02-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
The Photo Tourism experimental software is one part photo album and one part video game. It analyzes where a digital photograph was taken and then places the image in a 3-D virtual world. Applications include organizing personal photo collections, creating virtual tours and, perhaps someday, making a visual map of all the photos on the Internet.

- Researchers use brain scans to predict when people will buy products
01-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, researchers have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to determine what parts of the brain are active when people consider whether to purchase a product and to predict whether or not they ultimately choose to buy the product. The study appears in the journal Neuron and was co-authored by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University and the MIT Sloan School of Management.
