terrà un seminario dal titolo
*Image analysis developements for plant tissues microstructure quantification*
ABSTRACT:
In a context of valorisation of plant products, such as food processing or biorefinery, it is often required to better understand the relationships between experimental condition and end-usage properties: mechanical properties, sensory texture, degradability... In order to know how the cellular structure or the tissue organisation impacts the final properties, adequate quantitative methods are required.
We will present several methodological developments in the quantification of the microstructure of plant products from digital images acquired at different scales.
For quantifying the 3D cellular structure of cells observed at microscopic scales, a stereological approach was developed, involving local discretization of geometric features from 3D binary images using Minkowski functionals formalism, and an estimation at the scale of the organ based on the Horvitz-Thomspon principle. Image texture analysis from mathematical morphology can be used to quantify cellular structure from grey-level macroscopy images. At a larger scale, the spatial organisation of tissues within the organ was described based on tools from spatial statistics. At each quantification scale, the question of the integration of image collection is adressed through the computation of statistical cartographies of the cellular morphology.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Care Colleghe, Cari Colleghi,
in data 27 gennaio 2015, a dieci anni dalla fondazione, il CUSSB vuole festeggiare l'importante traguardo con una giornata di seminari che vede ospiti coautori e amici italiani e da tutto il mondo. La giornata sarà dedicata a diversi aspetti con cui la metodologia statistica, biostatistica e bioinformatica puo' contribuire in modo fondamentale ad affrontare le problematiche biomediche moderne. Il programma è in allegato.
Saremo lieti di avervi nostri ospiti per questo evento presso la sede dell'Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Aula Ippocrate a partire dalle ore 9:00.
Per ovvi motivi organizzativi chiederei agli interessati di completare una breve registrazione - a titolo gratuito - cui è possibile accedere dal tasto REGISTRATION (al link http://www.cussb.unisr.it/view.asp?id=48) oppure direttamente da https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1m2rafGoJiJwSQVbQZrV2wwWU4eudwLBmABpA0BqWBs….

"A Bayesian model of pain perception and its modulation"
Davide ANCHISI,
Dipartimento di Scienze Mediche e Biologiche, Università di Udine
Abstract: While pain and pain modulation are most studied at the molecular
and circuitry level, little is known about the logic and computational
strategies underlying them. In the talk I'll describe a probabilistic model
of pain inspired by those developed mainly in research on vision. The model
can account for pain perception and for phenomena related to pain such as
the placebo effect or the modulation of pain due to emotions, motivation
and context. Moreover, the model makes novel predictions, confirmed by
experimental findings. I will also discuss the relevance of a theoretical
model not only in fitting the data and making new predictions but also for
it's power to unveil what the nociceptive system is pursuing and why the
modulation of pain occurs as it does (e.g. why there is a placebo effect)
=================
Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within
an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date
mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of
biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan
(via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website:
