Abstract: The present disclosure relates in general to methods for staining and imaging lung specimens for the purpose of quantifying fibrotic areas of the lung. Images according to the present invention include images obtained from X-ray microcomputed tomography.

Abstract: System and methods for software evaluation in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes: at a computer system, maintaining session information for a plurality of remote user sessions between one or more users and the computer system and formatting for display a plurality of graphical representations corresponding to the plurality of remote user sessions. A respective graphical representation in the plurality of graphical representations indicates a current or historical state of a corresponding remote user session, in the plurality of remote user sessions. The method further includes obtaining a user selection of a graphical representation in the plurality of graphical representations. In response to user selection of the graphical representation, a session is established between a client device associated with the user and the computer system and the session is initiated in the state as indicated in the graphical representation.

Abstract: A method for project collaboration includes: at a computer system, hosting a collaboration software application and a plurality of data sets associated with the collaboration software application; establishing a first remote user session between the computer system and a first client device running on a first operating system; wherein the first client device is associated with a first user; establishing a second remote user session between the computer system and a second client device running on a second operation system, distinct from the first operating system; wherein the second client device is associated with a second user distinct from the first user; merging the first remote user session and the second remote user session into a single remote user session; and enabling, using the single remote user session, the first user and the second user to concurrently control the collaboration software application and the plurality of data sets.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to compositions, processes and apparatus for imaging, and in particular for preparation, collection and processing of images of atherosclerotic plaques, including images obtained from X-ray microscopic computed tomography.

Abstract: The near-infrared wavelengths (700 nm-900 nm) are a suitable optical window for light penetration and deep tissue imaging. The present invention provides a near-infrared fluorescent blood pool contrast agent. The agent is of use to detect and quantify pathological capillary leak in live animals, e.g., serially imaging of traumatized tissue (muscle) as well as tumors.

Abstract: The present invention provides an animal toxicity model that can be used to screen agents that may cause or increase the occurrence of a developmental defect. The invention also provides methods and compositions for creating such an animal toxicity model, as well as methods and kits for using these animal models.
