BioMed Search

BioMed Search

BioMed Search has been created by Alex Ksikes, a PhD student in University of Cambridge. The goal of BioMed search is to organize figures, images or schema found in biomedical articles. Over 1 Million images have been indexed and more is on its way. BioMed Seach indexes image captions along with the citations to these images.

A sample search with the keyword insulin returns the following result
Insulin resistance is mediated by a proteolytic fragment of the insulin receptor." title="Click to enlarge">
Figure 2: Insulin-induced lipogenesis, glycogen synthesis, and glucose uptake in basal and insulin-resistant 3T3-L1 adipocytes: effects of E64 on insulin resistance. Panel A, effect of E64 on insulin-induced lipogenesis in cells chronically pretreated with insulin. 3T3-L1 adipocytes were pretreated with 1.7 µM insulin alone for 0 (C), 9 (9I), or 18 h (18I) ...

It is the well formated scientific literatures that makes the such search possible. Pay attention and try to improve it.

My Brain

I participated in a fMRI experiment. Here is my brain.

MY BRAIN

Thanks for Wu Xiang@Cognitive Neuroscience Labratory of USTC













I am amazed to see my brain. Following a silent noise background, my brain appears as a light dot. It become larger and larger, like an approaching distant UFO. Next, my cortex come into sight, however, at first, it looks like an embyro in uterus. It is unset. ( I forgot what I am thinking then). At last, it comes into shape, and shrink, and disappear in the deep noise background again.

Working with Emacs Muse

I have been trying to use emacs muse for the whole afternoon, bacause the frequent breakdown of Google Pages really annoyed me and its low efficiency is unbearable.

I know it is time for me to leave those unstable WYSIYG applications aside and find a stabel and fast solution to maintain my personal homepage. The simplicity and grace of EmacsWiki once catched my eye. After steps of googling, I learned that Emacs Muse has substitute Emacs Wiki as its decendent. Emacs muse is rather easy and enable the full features of Emacs, and it can also output pdf format, maybe I can use it to write reports in the future.

Some Notes:

  1. the defaut key for footnote is rather long, it is better to reset it use global-set-key
  2. The CSS templates of EmacsWiki can be used for Muse with less changes. Here is a article about the use of Muse
