Application of computer vision techniques for 3D matching and retrieval of archaeological objects [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Background As cultural institutions embark in projects oriented to digitise art and archaeological collections in three dimensions, the need for developing means to access the resulting 3D models has become imperative.Shape recognition techniques developed in the field of computer vision can help in this task.Methods This paper describes han the im

A Cell Electrofusion Chip for Somatic Cells Reprogramming.

Cell fusion is a potent approach to explore the mechanisms of 822 somatic cells reprogramming.However, previous fusion methods, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) mediated cell fusion, are often limited by poor fusion yields.In this study, we developed a simplified cell electrofusion chip, which was based on a micro-cavity/ discrete microelectrode s
