Who doesn’t appreciate the occasional pat on the back? So to start our new year off right, we were kindly named one of the Top 50 Blogs — of the millions of blogs online today! — by Regator. Who is Regator? Regator.com is a website designed to help you find quality blog posts. It does this by using highly selective human editors to find well-written, topical blogs on more than 500 topics then a combination of semantic algorithms and user interaction to find the most interesting, timely, and noteworthy posts from those blogs. Regator provides you with tools to monitor keywords, find related content, view trends, keep track of favorites, and share with friends. If anyone should know a thing or two abo...

This is a technique that allows accurate reconstructions of highly undersampled sparse datasets. This field really took off in 2004 when Emmanuel J. Candès discovered that a tomography phantom image could be reconstructed exactly even with data deemed insufficient by the Nyquist-Shannon criterion. It is probably the hottest topic in imaging theory today. Modified Shepp-Logan phantom with enhanced contrast for visual perception. According to this review, Compressed Sensing MRI, its successful application requires three conditions to be met : Transform Sparsity: The desired image must have a sparse representation in a known transform domain (i.e., it must be compressible by transform coding), I...

The Health Protection Agency has sent me an algorithm. More top-down micro-management. There must be a better way to disseminate advice than this.Supposing the temperature is 37.9? Is there room for judgement? Why do they have to use a preposterous word like rhinorrhoea when they mean "runny nose." And, if they are going to use the wretched word, they might at least take the trouble to spell it properly.

In their improved MSA algorithm, PRANK, they use history itself to improve the performance of this basic algorithm.
