McNamara 20140911 Bepress author utilization counts cannot be trusted due to poor design and support

//

20140912 update: bepress support finally 'gets' my problem and should have my author counts fixed soon.

I have left the text below and the original download as is.

Email exchange 9/2014 (also available as a PDF download):

Your bepress system “database” is pretty lame if there is no way for your team to correct this ‘bot inflation.

You are serving an academic research community that has a very high expectation in the quality of our scholarship and data. That you cannot correct “bad …

Timelapse data - GM imaging cytometer needs stitching part 1 of 2

Imaging challenge: align multiple time series over time to overcome "stage slop" in the imaging cytometer used in this experiment.

are zip files containing 8-bit stacks (MetaMorph multiplane TIFF files) acquired on an imaging cytometer.

"53" is the brightfield data, raw and automatic aligned stacks in MetaMorph (Apps menu, MM7.8.6).

"54" is GFP fluorescence, raw and automatic aligned stacks in MetaMorph (Apps menu, MM7.8.6). The GFP fluorescence decreases over time due to photobleaching. GFP disappears from cells when they die (soluble GFP diffusing …

Our Pathscan Enabler IV, delivered July 2014, uses the QuickScan software to scan a histology slide in "two clicks" (after loading the

slide):

1. Push the QuickScan button on the front of the Pathscan Enabler.

2. Click the Scan button in the QuickScan pop-up application (optional: change scan area in the Prescan image window).

The image gets saved as a TIFF file to the Windows 7 (64-bit) desktop.

I have been using Pathscan Enabler's since version I in 2000. See Chantrain et al 2003:

Time Series Data For 3b Image Processing, George Mcnamara Jan 2014

Time Series Data For 3b Image Processing, George Mcnamara

George McNamara

Time series data for 3B image processing

Four time series data sets of Stellaris single molecules RNA FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization). All four datasets are 301 imaqe planes. FISH probes are to TOP1 mRNA (Topoisomerase I)in Saos osterosarcoma cells.

One dataset is 10 millisecond exposures (very dim), acquired in Streaming acquisition mode (no hardware overhead).

The other three datasets are a three consecutive planes of the same XY field of view.

I have included image processing results for:

PiMP - a fast method developed by Sebastian Munck et al 2012, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=22357945

and greatly improved performance by Glen Macdonald (Seattle). …
