Brokel: Towards enabling multi-level cloud elasticity on publish/subscribe brokers by Vinicius Facco Rodrigues, Ivam Guilherme Wendt, Rodrigo da Rosa Righi, Cristiano André da Costa, Jorge Luis Victória Barbosa, Antonio Marcos Alberti

“…Users, things, and applications use Brokel as a centralized messaging service broker, but in the back-end the middleware provides better performance and cost (used resources × performance) on message delivery using virtual machine (VM) replication. Our scientific contribution regards the multi-level, orchestrator, and broker, and the addition of a geolocation domain name system service to define the most suitable entry point in the Pub/Sub architecture. …”

Standard anatomical and visual space for the mouse retina: computational reconstruction and transformation of flattened retinae with the Retistruct package. by David C Sterratt, Daniel Lyngholm, David J Willshaw, Ian D Thompson

“…This is achieved by: stitching the marked-up cuts of the flat-mount outline; dividing the stitched outline into a mesh whose vertices then are mapped onto a curtailed sphere; and finally moving the vertices so as to minimise a physically-inspired deformation energy function. Our validation studies indicate that the algorithm can estimate the position of a point on the intact adult retina to within 8° of arc (3.6% of nasotemporal axis). …”
