COILS is a program that compares a sequence to a database of known parallel two-stranded coiled-coils and derives a similarity score. By comparing this score to the distribution of scores in globular and coiled-coil proteins, the program then calculates the probability that the sequence will adopt a coiled-coil conformation.

An ImageJ plugin for morphological data mining, three-dimensional modeling and image stitching, registration, editing and annotation. Two independent modalities exist: either XML-based projects, working directly with the file system, or database-based projects, working on top of a local or remote PostgreSQL database. What can you do with it? * Semantic segmentation editor: order segmentations in tree hierarchies, whose template is exportable for reuse in other, comparable projects. * Model, visualize and export 3D. * Work from your laptop on your huge, remote image storage. * Work with an endless number of images, limited only by the hard drive capacity. Dozens of formats supported thanks to LOCI Bioformats and ImageJ. * Import stacks and even entire grids (montages) of images, automatically stitch them together and homogenize their histograms for best montaging quality. * Add layers conveniently. A layer represents, for example, one 50 nm section (for TEM) or a confocal section. Each layer has its own Z coordinate and thickness, and contains images, labels, areas, nodes of 3d skeletons, profiles... * Insert layer sets into layers: so your electron microscopy serial sections can live inside your optical microscopy sections. * Run any ImageJ plugin on any image. * Measure everything: areas, volumes, pixel intensities, etc. using both built-in data structures and segmentation types, and standard ImageJ ROIs. And with double dissectors! * Visualize RGB color channels changing the opacity of each on the fly, non-destructively. * Annotate images non-destructively with floating text labels, which you can rotate/scale on the fly and display in any color. * Montage/register/stitch/blend images manually with transparencies, semiautomatically, or fully automatically within and across sections, with translation, rigid, similarity and affine models with automatically extracted SIFT features. * Correct the lens distortion present in the images, like those generated in transmission electron microscopy. * Add alpha masks to images using ROIs, for example to split images in two or more parts, or to remove the borders of an image or collection of images. * Model neuronal arbors with 3D skeletons (with areas or radiuses), and synapses with connectors. * Undo all steps. And much more...

Our vision a world where regular physical activity, good nutrition, and healthy weight are part of everyone''s life. Our mission to lead strategic public health efforts to prevent and control obesity, chronic disease, and other health conditions though regular physical activity and good nutrition. Our goals: * Increase health-related physical activity through population-based approaches. * Improve those aspects of dietary quality most related to the population burden of chronic disease and unhealthy child development. * Decrease prevalence of obesity through preventing excess weight gain and maintenance of healthy weight loss. Our Work With fiscal year (FY) 2008 funding of 38 million, CDC''s DNPAO is working to reduce obesity and obesity-related diseases. This is done through state programs, research, surveillance, training, intervention development and evaluation, leadership, policy and environmental change, communication and social marketing, and partnership development. See At A Glance 2009 for more. Supporting State Programs The Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Program (NPAO) is a cooperative agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention''s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO) and 23 state health departments. The program goal is to prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases through healthful eating and physical activity. The state program will develop strategies to leverage resources and coordinate statewide efforts with multiple partners to address all of the following DNPAO principal target areas: 1. Increase physical activity. 2. Increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables. 3. Decrease the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages. 4. Increase breastfeeding initiation, duration and exclusivity. 5. Reduce the consumption of high energy dense foods. 6. Decrease television viewing. Our Research DNPAO supports research to enhance the effectiveness of physical activity and nutrition programs. Topics of these research activities include: * the effectiveness of parent-focused strategies to reduce the time children spend watching television * the influences of the home environment on sugar-sweetened beverage consumption * the use of policy interventions to promote physical activity * the effectiveness of breastfeeding interventions in various settings.

BCI2000 is a general-purpose system for brain-computer interface (BCI) and adaptive neurotechnology research. It can also be used for data acquisition, stimulus presentation, and brain monitoring applications. The mission of the BCI2000 project is to facilitate research and applications in the areas described. Their vision is that BCI2000 will become a widely used software tool for diverse areas of real-time biosignal processing. In order to achieve this vision, BCI2000 system is available for free for non-profit research and educational purposes. BCI2000 supports a variety of data acquisition systems, brain signals, and study/feedback paradigms. During operation, BCI2000 stores data in a common format (BCI2000 native or GDF), along with all relevant event markers and information about system configuration. BCI2000 also includes several tools for data import/conversion (e.g., a routine to load BCI2000 data files directly into Matlab) and export facilities into ASCII. BCI2000 also facilitates interactions with other software. For example, Matlab scripts can be executed in real-time from within BCI2000, or BCI2000 filters can be compiled to execute as stand-alone programs. Furthermore, a simple network-based interface allows for interactions with external programs written in any programming language. For example, a robotic arm application that is external to BCI2000 may be controlled in real time based on brain signals processed by BCI2000, or BCI2000 may use and store along with brain signals behavioral-based inputs such as eye-tracker coordinates. Because it is based on a framework whose services can support any BCI implementation, the use of BCI2000 provides maximum benefit to comprehensive research programs that operate multiple BCI2000 installations to collect data for a variety of studies. The most important benefits of the system in such situations are: - A Proven Solution - Facilitates Operation of Research Programs - Facilitates Deployment in Multiple Sites - Cross-Platform and Cross-Compiler Compatibility - Open Resource Sponsors: BCI2000 development is sponsored by NIH/NIBIB R01 and NIH/NINDS U24 grants.

A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp
