Multi Pixel Stochastic Approach to Mineral Samples Spectral Analysis for Geometallurgical Modeling

Published in Procemin Geomet, 2020

This work proposes a novel approach for analysis of spectra data for the mining industry, that uses multi pixel hyperspectral images and statistical analysis techniques to overcome the effects of ambient conditions and geological context variability to estimate critical geological and geometallurgical interest variables.

Computational methods for analysis of dynamic events in cell migration

Published in Current Molecular Medicine, 2014

Image processing approaches for quantitative description of cell migration in 2- and 3-dimensional image series, including registration, segmentation, shape and topology description, tracking and motion fields are presented. We discuss advantages, limitations and suitability for different approaches and levels of description.

SOFI of GABAB neurotransmitter receptors in hippocampal neurons elucidates intracellular receptor trafficking and assembly

Published in Proceddings SPIE, 2013

The assembly of the GABABRs in hippocampal neurons with dual-color, 3D super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) is studied. SOFI is a fluorescence imaging modality which yields superresolved spatial resolution, 3D-sectioning and high image contrast.
