Recent work in automated image classification has demonstrated that in several cases, a supervised machine learning approach can equal or even surpass image classification by human experts. Although it may seem dubious that machines can surpass a human?s pattern recognition skills, modern imaging systems far exceed the human eye in spatial and spectral resolution as well as dynamic range and can provide a machine classifier with a far more precise set of data than the eye can provide the human brain. Thus, even though the human brain is a superior classifier, it is presented with inferior data. The combination of modern digital microscopy with state of the art machine pattern recognition is being used to quantitatively study morphological phenomena in cells and tissues.? ? Automated image classification can be divided into two approaches: model-based and model-free. In traditional model based systems, a model of what is being imaged is manually constructed, and used as the basis for classification or for reporting quantitative information. Model-free systems make no assumptions of the underlying model and attempt to build a classifier based only on information in the images and a manually pre-classified training set. Model-based systems have the advantage that it is known precisely what the machine is looking at and it is possible to guide the machine to look at what is judged to be important, while ignoring artifacts and noise. The chief disadvantage is that what is judged to be important is subject to bias, and is an attempt to anthropomorphise the machine to see in much the same way that a human does ? something that is not always appropriate or possible. The second disadvantage is that these machine vision approaches are highly specific to what is being imaged and can seldom be generalized to classify or measure something completely different. Their chief advantage is that model-based systems offer a direct and intuitive way to gather quantitative information on the image content.? ? Model-free classification treats all images equivalently, and performs exactly the same operations whether building a classifier for grades of melanoma, or sub-cellular organelles, pollen grains, etc. Our classifiers reduce each image to a vector of ?signatures?. Each signature is a numeric value produced by an algorithm sensitive to a specific type of image content - various textures, intensity statistics, distribution of objects, etc. A large collection of signatures (>1200) ensures that there is a sufficient variety of sensors available for many kinds of images. Because it is impractical to use this high-dimensionality space for classification directly, we use an iterative process that eliminates all signatures with weak classification power. The algorithm usually converges to one or two dimensions more than the number of classes in the training set. The product of this training is a Naive Bayesian network capable of classifying images that were not part of the original training set. One of the strengths of using Bayesian networks is that the result of classifying an image is a probability distribution of it belonging to all of the classes in the training set. This probability distribution provides a quality of fit, which is an important metric for rejecting unclassifiable images, and provides a means for measuring image similarity.? ? We have made substantial progress in extending our classifiers to produce quantitative measures of image similarity rather than being restricted to """"""""either-or"""""""" classification. We have validated that our computed image similarity correlates to progress along an independently characterized morphological process. A natural test case for this is age-related morphological change. We were able to demonstrate that our calculated morphological age obtained from images of two different tissues in the worm correlates well with the known age of the worm. Additionally we were able to demonstrate that the algorithms can correctly interpolate age groups that were never used in training. Preliminary results indicate that image distance can be used in standard clustering algorithms to define new classes of morphology not defined during training.? ? We have tested the generality of our classification algorithms on 10 different imaging problems thus far and were able to classify images reliably in all cases. We are currently applying this technique to three problems in biology that have previously not been accessible to automated unbiased analysis: Effects of aging on tissue morphology, high content screening assays, and automated medical diagnostics.? ? To study the effects of aging on tissue, Josiah Johnston is collaborating with Catherine Wolkow of the LNS (NIA-IRP) to conduct a longitudinal study of aging in the worm C. elegans. The central question of this collaboration is: In a population of genetically identical worms living in close proximity, what is it that makes the individual worms age at different rates and die at different times? We have recently shown that the morphology of the pharynx as assayed by our pattern recognition techniques correlates well with the known age of the worm, and is modulated in expected ways in mutants with decreased pharynx activity as well as those causing developmental abnormalities in this organ. We have collected longitudinal data by imaging worm pharynxes non-invasively at mid-life, and measuring pharynx pumping rate at several points along the worm lifespan. The time of death is recorded for each worm and tied to the pumping rates as well as the pharynx image at mid-life. The worm population is divided into three groups based on the observed lifespan, and the groups are used to train classifiers. Preliminary results indicate that our algorithms are able to distinguish short lived and medium-lived worms using images of their pharynx. If these preliminary results are confirmed with additional data, we will use this classifier to separate a population of worms at mid-life into groups based on predicted life-span. Transcription profiling experiments will then be used to find genes whose expression pattern modulates lifespan relative to a genetically identical cohort.? ? The effects of aging and diet on mouse tissue morphology is being studied by Tomasz Macura in collaboration with Kevin Becker using tissue arrays from calorically restricted and normally fed mice prepared for the AGEMAP project. We plan to use our classifiers to detect differences in morphology in different tissues as a consequence of aging and diet, as well as measure aging rates of different tissues and the influence of diet on these rates. Currently we have collected a full set of liver data, and are analyzing it for morphological differences due to diet at four different ages.? ? With Dr. Mark Eckley, we are establishing a high-density high-throughput RNAi screening platform using cells grown on microscope slides printed with double-stranded RNA. Our classifiers are able to detect cells accumulating at different stages of the cell cycle, as well as various abnormal nuclear morphologies. We plan to use our algorithms to determine the set of morphologies attainable by nuclei, mitochondria, and cytoskeleton as a result of gene knock-down, and use these groups to begin classifying genes by phenotypic outcome.? ? With Nikita Orlov, we have begun a collaborative project with Dr. Elaine Jaffe of NCI to classify types of human lymphoma. Preliminary results indicate that our algorithms can match the average performance of human pathologists. We are now refining our training set to consist of diagnostic features in the sample rather than using a random collection of images for training.

Arecibo Observatory is known for its 305-meter (1000-foot) diameter telescope and its appearances in Goldeneye and Contact. Aside from battling Bond villains and driving red diesel Jeeps around the telescope (grousing at the site director about the funding status of projects is optional), several hundred hours a year of telescope time at Arecibo go toward radar studies of asteroids. A group of four planetary radar astronomers at Arecibo (as well as collaborators and colleagues at institutions outside of Puerto Rico) is tasked with "finding them before they find us" by NASA's Near-Earth Object Observation program. We study the orbits and surface properties of our rowdy neighbors, near-Earth asteroids.
Arecibo Observatory's William E. Gordon telescope, built in 1963, as viewed from the control room.
Asteroid radar as we know it started in 1998 at Arecibo Observatory with a big equipment upgrade. A six-story Gregorian dome (the big quasi-spherical structure hanging off of the suspended platform) was installed on the platform that hangs 150 meters (500 feet) above the dish. Previously, line feed antennas (like the one on the left, above) collected signals from radio sources. Line feeds worked fine, very narrow bands of radio detections. This is not so great for astronomical applications, which require wider bandwidths.
The Gregorian dome contains two matte mirrors to focus radio waves in (or out, as is the case with the transmitter) to a set of receivers. A variety of receivers, chilled with compressed helium, receives the radio waves, measuring them in units of volts (really, Arecibo is the world's largest voltmeter). The instruments can receive at frequencies ranging from from 47 Megahertz up past 10 Gigahertz to investigate all sorts of astronomical and atmospheric phenomena.
A cartoon ray tracing diagram of rays reflected off of the primary 305-meter dish (not shown), bouncing off of the secondary reflector (upper right), reflecting off of the tertiary mirror (center left, not labeled), and focusing in to the feed at the corner of the receiver room. For a more detailed ray trace, see Kildal, Johansson, Hagfors, and Giovanelli 1993: Analysis of a cluster feed for the Arecibo trireflector system using forward ray tracing and aperture integration.
A powerful set of radio transmitters called klystrons also live Inside the Gregorian dome. Klystrons are like light bulbs for radio waves: they are used for creating and amplifying radio signals for everything from weather radar to particle accelerators (like at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, SLAC). Unlike measly 100-watt light bulbs, our klystrons generate 500 kilowatts each in the radio part of the spectrum. They require vacuum tubes and magnets to keep their electron beams aligned. So, a little more complicated than light bulbs.
Klystrons transmit linearly polarized radio waves, which need to be turned into circularly polarized waves. Received echoes are turned from circularly polarized light back into linearly polarized light. The devices responsible for this radio frequency engineering magic are known as septum polarizers and turnstile junctions. Seriously, take a look at these things, they're pure black magic.
The process of observing, which we refer to as "experimenting," is very different at Arecibo than it is for an optical telescope. We observe in the rain, in the fog, and during the daytime. Radar's like the honey badger, it simply doesn't care.
Radar is also active: we transmit radio waves at our targets, then wait for the return echoes. This is unlike passive astronomy, where you wait for light that originated hundreds, thousands, millions, or billions of years ago, or observe photons from the Sun reflected off of objects in the solar system. Instead, we create the photons that we ultimately collect.
A lot of time with optical telescopes is spent taking calibration data. With radar, however, we know exactly what our signal is like that we transmit, which makes the calibration process part of transmitting and receiving, so we don't have to spend extra time observing comparison stars or solar analogs.
We send a powerful pulse of radio waves from our klystrons in the Gregorian dome that then reflects off of the dish and bounces off of passing asteroids. The echoes reflect off the dish, into the Gregorian dome, and just before they come back, we turn off our transmitter and use a sensitive radio receiver to collect the radio echoes from the asteroid.
Nights, or technically "observing runs," start with switching on diesel generators on the other side of the site. The telescope operator takes a 1972 diesel Jeep CJ, shoves in the sticky clutch, and drives over to the maintenance side of site to start the generators. Diesel fuel is the biggest single cost toward running the planetary radar system at Arecibo. The generators create 60,000 volts at 33 amps that travel along a high voltage cable to the Gregorian dome and the klystrons. That high voltage turns into two megawatts of power, one megawatt that we dump as waste heat via 300 gallons a minute of water pumped through cooling tubes from a homebrew setup.
Half of the remaining megawatt, 500 kilowatts, goes to power each klystron, and eventually, out to the asteroid. We transmit the equivalent of 10^13 watts of power (isotropic equivalent), and receive 10^-7 watts back - that's one part in 10^27 that we detect. Granted, we're sort of cheating: Arecibo has 10^7 of gain due to the immense size of the dish.
While observing, we have a telescope operator who makes sure the telescope is pointed properly, as well as a transmitter operator. The transmitter operator keeps track of the magnets, currents, and voltages, to ensure that we are not frying the vacuum tubes with the electron beams.
Norberto Despiau, who has been with Arecibo Observatory for decades. He has a good sense of humor about problem solving and staying up late to operate the transmitter, and warns my visiting friends about the giant coquí frogs.
The high voltage and klystron system is complex, and things go wrong. Finding klystron engineers is difficult, because most of them are retired. Troubleshooting techniques involve manually overriding the high voltage transformer switch with a piece of wood, replacing 250-watt light bulbs, pouring more deionized water into the cooling system, and giving the high-voltage power supply the stinkeye. The latter works surprisingly well.
Getting the returned radio signals out of the telescope is another kettle of fish. We technically collect signals as voltages, not as power, so we can downconvert, frequency shift, filter, amplify, and otherwise manipulate our echoes before officially "observing" them as a vanishingly small fraction of a watt. Signals travel through a thicket of BNC (coaxial) cables and eventually into a vintage Sun Sparcstation.
Once we've collected the echoes of our transmitted signal, we run fast Fourier transforms on them to get a power spectrum of the returned waves. A lot of UNIX commands later, and after downloading multi-gigabyte files and uttering oaths at Sun keyboards, you get a totally sweet image.
Asteroid 1998 QE2 on June 7, 2013, as viewed by the radio telescope at the Arecibo Observatory.
And then you do (a) science! But that's a story for another day.
Thanks for the explanation. I hope the vintage hdw (hardware) holds up for you all. It sounds like you all need a serious upgrade in hardware and I don't see that comig anytime soon in this ill budget environment.
That waveguide PDF you link to ("septum polarizers and turnstile junctions") is indeed pretty cool. Pure Freaking Magic. Guest post -- thanks!

The landscape of Digital Risks is not static. Today's state of the art technologies lose their effectiveness over time as new research and increasing processing power make innovative attacks possible and create new risks. Change has to be the new normal and we have to measure and quantify that change.
In this last part of the Digital Risk Conference Track, we will discuss how to implement the risk mitigation strategies and enable a secure digital transformation, with a special focus on risk metrics.
What Gets Measured Gets Done – Identifying New Metrics for Distributed Digital System Performance to Evaluate and Mitigate Risk.
Data is the lifeblood of organizations and managers of organizations have access to increasing volumes of data; but what does data really mean in a given context? How can effective and dynamic risk evaluation and mitigation processes be cultivated from better measurement practices in an organization, and a more nuanced understanding of how different sources of risk will reveal themselves through different sorts of metrics.
How to Measure the Real Access Risk?
In evaluating distributed systems risk, the attention to data is misdirected. Rather it is the distributed nature of data management systems (and the increase in interaction volume) that increase the perception and actuality of risk. Distributed problems need distributed solutions. Applying the community of interest approach – how can your organization more effectively reduce and manage risk?

Roots Music Canada – Into the Sun – Review
Sunshine and "Simple Pleasures" with David Myles
The autumnal equinox has come and gone; October has arrived, and with it, grey days and a chill in the air. Summer, with its warm afternoons at folk festivals and starry nights around the campfire, is but a memory.
Good news: David Myles' sunshine-filled single "Simple Pleasures," produced by East Coast hip hopper Classified, is the perfect antidote to frost warnings.
Myles, a Fredericton native now living in Halifax, is known for his sweet voice and lively, rhythmic guitar tunes, but this song takes that "poppy" feel to the next level. The chorus has a great hook, but the whole song is ridiculously catchy — is there such a thing as a sing-and-dance-along? Let's just call it "anthemic."
A simple hand-clap keeps time, complimented by horns, echo, repeats and stutters. All the while, washed out, beach lit stop motion photographs from Hiep Vu narrate a story of summer parties: a spinning Panama hat, a margarita that makes itself, a plunge into a pool.
If you like this collaboration, be sure to check out the co-write David did on Classified's "The Day Doesn't Die," where the proportions of folk to hip hop have been reversed.
David Myles' new record is available tomorrow, October 4th, and is aptly titled Into the Sun. If you can't wait that long, his Live at the Carleton (released earlier this year) is one of the best live records we've heard lately.

The purpose of this conference is to organize and proliferate the material heresies that are the basis for what Matteo Pasquinelli has called "hostile intelligences" and what Fred Moten and Stefano Harney have described as "the general antagonism." Pasquinelli writes, in "The Labour of Abstraction," "Marx's tendency of the rate of profit to fall has to find eventually its epistemic twin." For him, forms of knowledge and subjectivity play a prominent role in his theory of anti-capitalist revolution. Hostile intelligence is one imaginary in which the recently formed Accelerationists conceive such an epistemic twin. Moten and Harney's category, "the general antagonism," is no doubt the epistemic twin of "the general intellect", and powerfully indicates a generalized disidentification with white-supremacist, capitalist culture that is an extant part of the fugitive practices of what they eloquently call "The Undercommons."

Americans who want to emphasize that "politics isn't all there is to life" are people who don't feel very keenly the sting of injustice or the anxiety of uncertainty or the horror of what this country does in our name. When you lose your job because of politics, or can't afford to go to school because of politics, or are denied full citizenship because of politics, or die because of politics, the idea that "politics isn't all there is to life" will be cold comfort to you.
But what if, for example, you look out into the world and see not a basic normality of everyday justice and brotherhood and comity and happy cookies but, rather, a massively inequitable system getting both steadily worse and more deeply enmeshed into our everyday reality? An America which has, for example, rendered it normal to be conducting military operations in multiple theatres for no publicly acknowledged or agreed upon purpose? Where 10% unemployment is normal?

Thanksgiving Eve
* Bill Simmon has links on how to argue with your relatives about climate change over Thanksgiving. (If you have a smartphone, just queue up How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic and wait.) As I wrote over at Bill's place, Matt Taibi's recent piece on Sarah Palin—describing how she uses her endless interpersonal conflicts to generate political capital that is totally independent of anything so mundane as "ideas" or "positions"—really opened my eyes on how this Climategate nonsense is doing its work. Climategate shifts the field of debate from statistics and facts, which only a small minority are qualified to discuss, to the field of interpersonal relations and "bad behavior," on which we can all have an opinion. It's being pushed as a "huge scandal" precisely because it remakes climate change into a moral question about how smart people sometimes turn out to be arrogant jerks. That this moral question is totally irrelevant to the facts isn't a bug, it's the whole point.
* Also on the climate front: Obama will go to Copenhagen to commit to 17% under 2005, California introduces its cap and trade plan, and (via Alex G.) rich nations are not following through on promised climate change funds for developing nations. Surprise surprise.
* Elsewhere on the arguing-with-relatives front: Steve Benen has your charts that show the stimulus worked.
* BLDGBLOG goes inside Yucca Mountain.
* Another second-hand report on a recent Žižek talk, this one on ecology. There's even more ecologically informed theory at Australian Humanities Review.
* History's first entry in the things-that-make-me-kind-of-like-Bill-O'Reilly file.
* One of America's most loathsome politicians may be about to stage a comeback.
* Stephen King may write a sequel to The Shining. Cynical-C says this must be stopped; maybe I'm getting soft, but it sounds to me like it actually could be decent.
* And, via How the University Works, UC Davis student activists have extracted limited concessions from the administration. The crisis, of course, remains ongoing.

Sandbox Railroads

Sandbox vs Railroad
Over the last few years this blog has focused on player-centric themes, by using a four-part method. This month I'm going to deviate a bit by covering a topic normally reserved for GMs, and by doing a long-form essay. If this approach works well, I might keep the longer once-a-month essay.
While the railroad/sandbox duality is typically considered a GM problem, it's still true that the Players must play in this duality, so this is a topic that's of importance to them as well.
character background
On 28 Nov, 2018 By Chromatic Chameleon 0 Comments
In designing dramatic campaigns we focus on the character, creating intimate settings that allow Players to inhabit their character's background, leading (hopefully) to the flourishing of the character(s). What does this mean for action adventures? If we put less focus on character backgrounds, what role do Players have in creating an action setting?

Fate Aspects
Watch the Table
When we talked about dramatic games, we talked about watching what goes on around the table, working to support the other Players' character actions, and working toward safe cathartic emotional bleed. In action adventure games, by contrast, we talk about watching what goes on on the table. This includes maps, miniatures, dice, character sheets, and rules.In a dramatic game, scenes can float from location to location without too much concern for continuity of action. But in action adventure games, maps are important in determining where and how the action takes place.
Action Play
When we talked about dramatic play, we found it was heavily character-driven instead of action-driven. When playing action campaigns, there are ideas you must balance. The first things to consider are the action scenes of the pulp genre and tactical play; imagine your characters in action while building them. You also need to have a good grip on the rules, so you can stay up with the other Players and match the fast pace of action games. Speaking of the Players, since these games focus on goal accomplishments, it's important to remember that your missions will require teamwork.

Interested in serving the Village as a member of a board or committee? The Village is seeking a Wind Point resident to serve a four-year term on its Board of Zoning Appeals. The Board meets on an as-needed basis and weighs in on appeals to the Village's zoning code. Interested residents may phone the administrator at 639.3524 or send an email to the administrator@windpointwi.us.
We have been contacted by residents who received a letter from HomeServe of Madison, WI offering insurance for your water service line. Wind Point Water Utility is NOT affiliated with HomeServe and their product is NOT required by the Village. This mailing was the topic of a recent Journal Times article.
The gardens at the Wind Point Lighthouse have received approval from the UW/Extension as a new Master Gardener project for 2014. Ruth Ann Smithers, Master Gardener Volunteer Intern and Marilyn Blood, Master Gardener Volunteer are co-coordinators of this project. A group of 12 - 14 MGVs will be researching the plant type and cultivar needed for plants that are appropriate to the lighthouse history. Additionally, they will be labeling existing perennials and new plants, removing invasive species and conducting routine weeding.
If you see people working on the gardens, please say hello and thank them for their efforts. MGVs can hardly walk through gardens without pulling weeds. It is a beautiful place to spend some time and the Village will receive the benefit of their work at the Lighthouse.
Bring Your Cell Phone Carrier to Wind Point!
The Village is seeking two additional cellular carriers to lease space on its tower (located behind the administrative office). The additional carriers would help improve phone service in Wind Point and would bring in lease revenue to the Village. You can help by taking a couple minutes to submit a contact form online to one or more carriers. Please click here to get started.
The Village is in year two of the water meter replacement program. The project involves replacing the manual-read meters with radio water meters. The new technology allows for a more efficient meter-reading process.
This year Randy and Mike from the Public Works Department will be replacing meters at all residences on Parkfield, Morning Wood, Lamplighter, Burrline, Meriburr, Tera Lee and Lighthouse (south of Shoop Park).
Residents will receive a notice at the door and/or by mail asking to call our office to schedule the appointment. Installations typically take less than 30 minutes. Randy and Mike will also complete a necessary cross-control inspection at the time of installation. Our personnel will be in a Village-marked vehicle and will carry Village identification badges.
