In order to support MIDI 2.0, there had to be a number of changes to the CoreMIDI library. In the table below, Original Architecture refers to the architecture before blocks were introduced, such as the functions making use of MIDINotifyProc and MIDIReadProc, Old Architecture refers to the software items associated with MIDI 1.0, and New Architecture refers to the functions that can support both MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0 systems. The term Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) refers to a method for encoding data for use both MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0, with the software making the appropriate transformations to the information sent to and received from the MIDI devices.

When a piece of hardware is connected via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable to a computer, it initiates a process known as "handshaking". In this process the device shares information with the computer and the computer connects the device using the most appropriate driver the operating system looks for an associated piece of software known as a driver. Some types of devices such as mice, keyboards, ethernet connections, and telephone connections, there are default drivers that are part of the operating system and will be used unless a more appropriate driver is found. These drivers are usually supplied by the vendor on their website and will provide additional capability for the vendor's products. As part of the handshake, the device sends some information about itself. The result is that the CoreMIDI software always knows how to exchange information with the MIDI devices.
If the MIDI device is conneced with 5 pin MIDI cables, the CoreMIDI software can't identify the attached equipment. Hoeever, you can use CoreMIDI to set up external devices using MIDIExternalDevcesCreate, MIDISetupAddExternalDevice, and MIDISetupRemoveExternalDevice.
The software components that send and receive MIDI information with other devices are known as MIDI clients.
There are a number of MIDI commands where the status byte is in the range 0xF0 to 0xFF. These are known as non musical commands.
|0xF0||MIDI System Exclusive message (start)This status byte indicates the first byte of the system exclusive message and there can be any number of data bytes. A data byte containing the value 0xF7 indicates the last byte for the message. (system common)|
|0xF1||MIDI Quarter Frame message There is one data byte. (system common)|
|0xF2||MIDI Song Position Pointer message There are two data bits that are combined to form a 14 bit integer. (system common)|
|0xF3||MIDI Song Request message There is one data byte (range 0x00 to 0x7F) that contains the number of the song to be played. (system common)|
|0xF6||MIDI Tune Request message There are no data bytes for this messaage. (system common)|
|0xF7||SysEX Continuation If this is the first status byte in a packet, it is SysEx Continuation, meaning that the following bytes are a continuation of the SysEX message from the previous packet. If it is the last byte in a packet, it indicates the end of the SysEx message.|
|0xF8||MIDI Clock message There are no data bytes. (system realtime)|
|0xFA||MIDI Start message There are no data bytes. (system realtime)|
|0xFB||MIDI Continue message There are no data bytes (system realtime)|
|0xFC||MIDI Stop message There are no data bytes. (system realtime)|
|0xFE||MIDI Active Sense message There are no data bytes. The purpose of this message is to demonstrate to the receiver that the transmitting device is still alive. (system realtime)|
|0xFF||MIDI Reset Message There are no data bytes. (system realtime)|


—Lithium-Air Batteries With More Oomph “Electrochemistry: Modifying the electrode and electrolyte leads to a battery that cycles by forming and decomposing lithium hydroxide, not lithium peroxide” By overhauling the guts of a lithium-air battery, researchers in England have come up with a higher performance design that may help move the battery from research labs to consumer products (Science 2015, DOI: 10.1126/science.aac7730). Lithium-air batteries, which draw oxygen from the air to drive battery chemistry, pack roughly 10 times as much energy per weight as lithium-ion batteries. But they operate sluggishly and fail quickly as a result of the electrochemistry products, mainly Li2O2, that form during battery use. Li2O2 tends to form crystals about 2 μm in diameter that clog standard porous carbon electrodes, which reduces charge capacity.

Technological advances have made electric cars the newest addition to roadways all across the country. In fact, it has been reported that there are about 425,300 registered electric cars on the roads in California. While electric cars may be great for the environment and an exciting new form of transportation, are electric cars safer in collisions?
Setareh Law is a team of experienced car accident injury attorneys in California. Before you go out and purchase the newest edition of a Tesla, Nissan, or BMW electric car, you should consider how safe you and your loved ones will be if an accident does occur.
What is the Measure of Safety for Electric Cars?
The measure of safety for any vehicle is calculated by considering the number and type of injuries sustained by passengers during a crash. An essential measure of the safety of a vehicle is how well it can protect passengers from side, front, and rear impact collisions. Crash results reported by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety showed that electric cars performed as well as, or better than, gas-powered vehicles in side, front, and rear impact collisions. Electric cars’ measure of safety is stated to be not inherently unsafe.
Is There a Flammability Concern for Electric Cars?
The batteries that power electric cars, lithium batteries, are highly flammable, which may cause concern for consumers purchasing these vehicles. The contents of lithium batteries may combust if they become overheated due to extended exposure to the wrong conditions. Additionally, the power cells within the batteries may short circuit if they become damaged, leading to a fire.
While there is a concern for flammability with electric cars, the risk is much lower compared to vehicles using gasoline. Additionally, when lithium battery fires erupt in an electric car, the fire is typically contained in one area, whereas a gasoline fire may spread.
Advances in Safety in Electric Cars
Electric cars are futuristic in and of themselves, so it is no surprise that the manufacturers consistently try to make the cars safer for passengers. To avoid the risk of flammability, some manufacturers are adding the following features to their electric cars:
- An external aluminum plate to shield the battery from overheating
- A layer of protection between where the batteries are located and where the passenger compartment is
- Placing the battery compartment farther from where passengers are seated
- Developing solid-state batteries that do not rely on flammable electrolytes to power them
As electric cars become more and more advanced, especially those that offer autonomous driving options, safety advancements may continue to grow.
California Collision Injury Attorneys Are On Your Side
Electric cars are exciting and have many benefits, including the environmental benefits of cutting down on harmful gas emissions. While these vehicles may not be considered unsafe, there are still risks. If you are involved in an electric car collision, you may want to partner with an experienced collision attorney to help build your claim.

Several years ago I found out about Arduinos and all of the amazing things you can do, relatively easily, with them and other microcontrollers, and the whole ecosystem built up around them. It is all geared specifically towards students, young people, and people like me who are interested, have ideas, but aren’t trained electrical engineers or computer coders.
I’ve been able to write very basic (and bad) computer code since I was a little kid, and I’ve written programs that actually do something real – on computers. I created a database application for a real estate company, I’ve coded websites from scratch HTML, wrote a payroll calculation program for mom ages ago, stuff like that. But it was all just software, and it “only” made a computer do something on the screen.
Once I found out about physical computing, and how accessible it could be, I was pretty excited. All of a sudden I can get input via a variety of sensors – temperature, humidity, light, fart gases, you name it – and do something with that information. Display it, log it, point at the culprit, even beam it through the air and over the internet to anywhere in the world.
My little introductory Arduino starter box has grown to several organizer boxes full of sensors, LEDs, microcontrollers of various types, servos, stepper motors, etc. Here are a few of the projects I’ve worked on. There are more that are in various stages of completion, and even more on paper or swirling around in my head!
(I need to flesh this out and explain more…some day!)

BRIDGEPORT -- In the movie "War Games," a teen-ager gained access to a U.S. Department of Defense computer system and almost caused World War III.
Although that was just a movie, capabilities demonstrated by computer hackers have defense officials concerned about "cyber terrorists."
But cutting-edge research soon to be performed in Bridgeport might help ease those fears.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Army announced that it will open an interim Biometrics Fusion Center at the Benedum Airport complex. The Army plans to have the three- to seven-person office operating by later this month.
Biometric technology developed there will be designed to make government computer systems more secure.
"(Biometrics) uses human characteristics to provide a more advanced login," said Larry Hornak, associate professor of computer science in the Electrical Engineering Department at West Virginia University.
The goal of biometrics research is to develop computers that automatically recognize a person by using distinguishing traits, such as fingerprints, voice patters, eye patterns and other unique characteristics.
Biometrics should eventually eliminate the need for passwords, and prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to computer systems, Hornak said.
Although the technology is new, some kinds of biometric systems already are being used, he said.
"Fingerprinting is basically what's being looked at right now," he said. "There already are commercial products available with that technology."
Those systems use fingerprint sensors mounted on the keyboards, he said.
The computer compares the fingerprint of the user with one stored in its memory.
"The fingerprint systems are pretty new, but they are advancing pretty rapidly. The devices are coming down in price."
But fingerprint scanning technology is just the beginning of what likely will be researched at the Bridgeport facility, he said.
Other types include voice prints and iris scans, he said.
Biometrics can involve virtually any human characteristic that is unique to each person, he said. Some new systems can even distinguish between users by analyzing typing patters, he said.
"A German company is now marketing a computer that uses voice prints, a keystroke analyzer and lip movements," Hornak said.
That multi-modal biometric system uses three devices, making a security breech less likely, he said.
Biometrics is an interdisciplinary field, which makes the proximity of the lab to WVU and other universities a plus, Hornak said.
"That's what we can bring to this," he said. "We can bring in other disciplines to help with the research."
More information about biometrics is available on the Internet at the U.S. government's Biometric Consortium Web site at www.biometrics.org.

In this thesis, a Zeroth level Classifier System (ZCS) controller is compared to a hand-made controller (which features some simple rules to control the robot). The experiments are done in a world with continuous time and space. Their task is surveillance. The controllers control a LEGO Mindstorms robot with 4 wheels, a touch sensor, a pen device and a camera which can track the pen track. The pen track fades over time, and is used by the controllers to communicate indirectly.The experiments are done in three worlds. Each experiment features three robots with controllers of one type (either ZCS or hand-made). The ZCS controller has been optimized using a meta-evolutionary algorithm, but this did not yield better results than the not-optimized ZCS controller. Overall, the ZCS controller did not perform as good as the hand-made controller.
My master’s subject is Organisational Dynamics and Self Organization, an Artificial Intelligence master at the VU that focuses on the simple building blocks of systems. Those building blocks can be found everywhere: organic (think of the ants, which together constitute an anthill), organizations (all employees together are the company), economically (all transactions of traders determine the market price), etc.
My graduation project was internally (my supervisor was Martijn Schut) and focused on a specific evolutionary technology, “Zeroth level Classifier System (ZCS). This technique is used to control (LEGO) robots. The robots had to patrol an area (called a surveillance task). The robots, either a ZCS controller or a conventional controller, did compete in three different worlds.
Below is an example of an experiment in one of the three worlds. The robots have ZCS brains.
For those interested: My thesis and final presentation.

The College of Education’s Southern New Mexico Science Engineering, Mathematics, and Aerospace Academy (SEMAA) program sponsored 11 camps this past summer with support from NASA and the Johnson Space Center.
Several of the campus focused on robotics for students from 5th to 12th grades. At the 5th grade level, students participated in a We Do Robotics workshop, a basic introduction to robotics using a multidisciplinary curriculum that includes language, literacy, and design concepts. The program also taught principles of teamwork. During the weeklong camp, participants learned the basic concepts of robotics and built their own software-controlled robots. For many young investigators, the development of a robot they could control opened up a whole new career path in the field of robotics that they hadn’t previously considered obtainable.
At the 6th – 8th grade level, students used the LEGO-developed NXT robotics software to build robots and plan, test, and modify instructions to the robots using research of real-life robotic behaviors. The participants in the NXT workshop designed and built robots mimicking animals and insects. They learned how specific animal traits influence robotic design and gathered and analyzed data from touch and ultrasonic sensors that are part of the NXT kit.
High school students with two of more years experience working with NXT robotics were able to participate in the advanced camp, VEX Robotics. VEX is a subsidiary of Innovation First International. Using VEX components, students programmed their robots to respond to various challenges and to play fast-paced games. Both NXT and VEX offer opportunities for students to compete with their robots on a national scale.
In Rocket Camp, 6th – 8th grade students learned the physics of rocket flight and had the opportunity to build and launch rockets. On the final day of the camp, parents and family members were invited to observe a launch. Related to rocketry is the Scuba Diving camp, in which students receive training in underwater activities like those experienced by real astronauts. Underwater training in some ways replicates the weightlessness of space.
Other camps were especially designed to attract young girls to scientific and mathematical fields.
The camps earned kudos from the Las Cruces Sun News, which in an editorial praised the SEMAA program for attracting middle and high school students for high-tech careers that they might never have otherwise considered.
- World Famous Neuroscientist Visits COENMSU’s SEMAA program also sponsored summer workshops for teachers. Kenneth Wesson, renowned expert in the neuroscience of learning and methods for creating classrooms and learning environments that are “brain-considerate,” presented his research to 100 area educators.

Hooking up the Saturn for our upcoming trip...
Dixie and I hooked everything up and got out the FRS radios and changed the batteries on the dead one (put away still on probably...) then we went through the routine light checking on the RV and the car when it is hooked up. We always do this so we are sure the lights work properly. The tail lights and the running lights and headlights on the RV worked and the tail lights on the Saturn worked. Checking the turn signals found that they worked on both vehicles, too. Then we tested the brakes......... RV: fine; Saturn: none!!!!! Time to check the cable connections.
I took the cable apart and looked at the connections at both ends. Nothing broken, but no wire connected to the brake light connection on the RV, the red wire. Well, this worked on the other Saturn that we sold, so what was different?
I got on the web and found several sites that gave information about hooking up trailers (but not towed cars) and found information about the 7 connector and the 4 connector fittings that I was using. The RV has seven connectors and separates the brakes from the turn signals and the Saturn has a connector that uses only 4 wires, and one of them is ground.
I opened up the back of the Saturn and looked at the connections from the wireing to the light assemblies on the rear lamps. There were diodes in place to permit the two vehicles to share the lights without damage. Fine. The brown wire was for the tail lights, just as in the book. The green and yellow wires were for the left and right turn signals, and the white wire was for the ground. No brake light connection!
I went back to the connecting cable and futsed around with it some more, and read the RV book and the notes I had made and it was 4 p.m. I started at 10:30.
Then it dawned on me. I use a Brake Buddy braking system to stop the Saturn and it presses on the brake pedal of the car when we slow down. Voila! The Saturn brake lights come on when the pedal is pushed, not when the RV lights come on. I felt stupid and relieved. The problem was solved and now I know that to test the brake lights on the Saturn, I have to use the test button on the Brake Buddy. Now I feel better.


Hello and welcome to our journal article on the topic of wearable technology. In this article, we will be discussing the latest trends, advancements, and potential of wearable devices that are changing the way we interact with technology. Wearable technology has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more people are looking for ways to stay connected and improve their health and fitness. From smartwatches to fitness trackers, there are a variety of wearable devices available on the market today that offer a range of features and functionalities. So, let’s dive into the world of wearable technology and explore what the future holds.
The Evolution of Wearable Technology
Wearable technology has come a long way since the first calculator watch was introduced in the 1970s. Today, wearable devices are much more than just a way to tell time or perform simple calculations. They are powerful computing devices that can track our health and fitness, connect us to the internet, and even help us stay safe in emergency situations. Let’s take a look at the evolution of wearable technology over the years.
The Early Days of Wearable Technology
The early days of wearable technology were characterized by simple devices that had limited capabilities. These devices were mostly used for basic tasks like telling time or performing simple calculations. The first calculator watch, introduced in 1975, was a good example of this. While it was a novel concept at the time, it was not very practical and had limited utility.
It wasn’t until the 1990s that wearable technology started to become more advanced. The introduction of the first smartwatch in 1994 marked a major milestone in the development of wearable technology. This device, called the Timex Data Link, was able to communicate with a computer via an infrared sensor and could store up to 50 phone numbers and schedule appointments.
Recent Advancements in Wearable Technology
In recent years, wearable technology has become more advanced and sophisticated. Today’s wearable devices are much more than just simple calculators or phone books. They are powerful computing devices that can track our health and fitness, connect us to the internet, and even help us stay safe in emergency situations.
One of the biggest advancements in wearable technology has been the development of smartwatches. Smartwatches are essentially small computers that you wear on your wrist. They are capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from tracking your fitness to sending messages and making phone calls.
The Benefits of Wearable Technology
Wearable technology offers a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for many people. Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits of wearable technology.
Improved Health and Fitness
One of the biggest benefits of wearable technology is that it can help you improve your health and fitness. Many wearable devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, are designed to track your physical activity, monitor your heart rate, and even analyze your sleep patterns. This data can help you make more informed decisions about your health and fitness, and can motivate you to stay active and healthy.
Wearable technology can also help you increase your productivity. Many wearable devices, such as smartwatches, can display notifications from your phone or computer. This means that you can stay connected and productive even when you’re away from your desk. You can quickly glance at your wrist to see if you have any important messages or emails, and respond to them right away.
The Future of Wearable Technology
So, what does the future hold for wearable technology? While it’s hard to predict exactly what will happen, there are a few trends that are likely to shape the future of wearable technology.
More Advanced Sensors
One of the biggest trends in wearable technology is the development of more advanced sensors. Sensors are what enable wearable devices to track our activity, monitor our health, and detect our movements. As sensor technology continues to improve, we can expect to see even more advanced wearable devices that can track a wider range of data.
More Integration with the Internet of Things
Another trend in wearable technology is the integration with the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is a network of smart devices that are connected to the internet. By integrating wearable devices with the IoT, we can create a seamless network of devices that can communicate with each other and share data. This could lead to a more connected and efficient world.

The rise of smartphones and tablets, led by Apple’s own iPhones and iPads, has done more than just eat into sales of desktops and laptops. It’s made the mouse seem obsolete by allowing us to interact with our devices and data through a touch interface rather than a pointing device. Apple introduced the mouse with the original Mac. Lion largely lays the rodent to rest.
Via Jakarta Globe
I’ve already noted that, overall, I like the gestures in the Magic Mouse in Lion. I like them enough that I’ve already warned my wife that the next computer device will be the Magic Touchpad. I could easily live without the mouse, and am glad that Apple has expanded the touchability of OSX with Lion.


CES 2014 exhibitors are churning out Steam Computer fashions virtually as quick as gimmicky iPhone equipment. Prior as of late, we pronounced on Digital Storm’s $1900 Bolt II Steam Desktop, aimed on the absolute best finish of the market. Now, CyberPowerPC printed its personal Steam Laptop at a value level aimed immediately on the Xbox One and PlayStation four.
CyberPowerPC’s Steam Computing device will are available two pre-configured choices: the Steam Computer A, beginning at $499, and Steam Computer I, beginning at $699. Each fashions can also be custom-made additional, simply as you may some other rig you’d purchase from CyberPowerPC.
The $499 Edition A will get you the CyberPowerPC Steam Gaming Chassis, AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5 video card, AMD A6-6400K three.ninety GHz processor, 500GB SATA-III 7200 RPM HDD for storage, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz twin channel reminiscence RAM, mITX motherboard with 802.eleven WiFi and Bluetooth, a Steam Controller, and pre-put in SteamOS.
The $699 Edition I’ll improve the video card to an Nvdia GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5, processor to an Intel Core i3-4330 three.50 Ghz, and motherboard to mITX with 802.11AC Wifi and Bluetooth.
CyberPowerPC has now not printed the dimensions of the case, nor if and the way you’d be ready improve it after buy. Of the Steam Machines to this point, it appears most like iBuyPower’s adaptation, which contains an identical components and can also be priced at $500.
To be truthful, the associated fee of each fashions isn’t as aggressive with Microsoft’s and Sony’s consoles as it’ll first seem. In case you’re looking to play a sport that does not run natively on SteamOS—that means the vast majority of video games that aren’t suitable with Linux—you’ll nonetheless wish to steam it from every other Home windows pc.


The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, now being built at the
Greifswald Branch of IPP, will test a magnetic field optimised to overcome
the difficulties of previous stellarator concepts. The quality of plasma
Wendelstein 7-X will start operation step by step in 2014, the first plasma is expected in 2015.

The use of VoIP telecoms is becoming increasingly common for businesses. Not surprising perhaps given the many advantages that it offers.
VoIP offers cost savings https://www.pcworld.com/article/254659/how_switching_to_voip_can_save_you_money.html, greater flexibility and much more. But as we draw nearer to an all IP-based phone system, what are the future trends to watch to ensure that your business doesn’t get left behind?
One of the key trends VoIP is enabling is a move to unified communications. This means giving the user the same experience across all devices, whether they are using a smartphone, a softphone on a PC or a desktop handset. This allows users to start a task on one device and finish it on another. It also brings flexibility to the workplace as it facilitates people to ‘hot desk’ or moves to other locations.
AI is starting to have an impact on many areas of our lives and VoIP is no exception. It has the potential to enhance VoIP systems in a number of ways. Finding the most efficient route for a call on an international VoIP wholesale provider such as https://www.idtexpress.com/ for example, or addressing quality of service issues. It also has the potential to provide more sophisticated automated call handling using virtual assistants like Siri and Cortana that can learn from their interactions.
Using what is essentially a computer system for phone calls does, of course, raise security concerns. As with any new technology, so as VoIP gains in popularity, we’re likely to see an increase in attacks on the networks. This can open the potential for calls to be intercepted and for hackers to make calls on your account. In order to protect your VoIP system, you need to have a firewall that can handle the traffic. You also need to look at web monitoring and filtering, and at a VPN to keep remote users secure.
Internet of Things
The rise in the number of connected ‘smart’ devices means that they are likely to overtake mobile phones and computers as the most common devices on the web in the next few years. Combined with VoIP this should lead to a rise in the potential for office automation. Using a combination of VoIP and IoT people will be able to reserve desk space, set environmental controls, and more.


||Introduction to LED Lighting
Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps are intended to replace screw-in incandescent, compact fluorescent and fluorescent light bulbs. They are made in standard light bulb shapes and are compatible with the voltage supplied to the sockets.
LED lamps include circuitry to rectify the existing power source, which reduces the voltage to a level usable by the LED. Reducing the wattage in turn reduces the energy consumption, which of course, reduces your energy costs.
LED Light Color
Do you think that a bulb using less energy creates less light? This is not the case with LED. LED tubes are actually brighter in luminosity, which is why one LED tube replaces two fluorescent tubes in a T-Style fixture. The LED results are also a more pure, brighter and cleaner white light. The lighting from LED bulbs better displays products inside vending machines, and best promotes area treatments.
A vending machine with the old T-Style fluorescent tubes (left) and the new LED Tubes (right).
LED Bulbs Compared to Fluorescent Bulbs
Compared to fluorescent bulbs, LED light bulbs contain no mercury (unlike a Compact Fluorescent Lamp or CFL). LED bulbs turn on instantly, and the LED lifetime is unaffected by cycling on and off which makes the LED technology well-suited for machines and all other light fixtures where bulbs are often turned on and off.
When you physically inspect a LED bulb, feel it's weight and inspect how its craftsmanship, you immediately know the product is built to last. LED light bulbs are also mechanically robust where other light bulbs are delicate, if not fragile in replacing.
This picture illustrates some common examples of LED bulbs that fit into existing fixtures.
White-light light emitting diode lamps have longer life expectancy and higher efficiency than most other lighting. This means you get the same amount of light for less electricity. LED sources are compact, and will easily swap without having to change anything but the bulb.
If you would like to see how much money you could save annually by changing to LED bulbs, use our online calculator.
By now you should be interested! Please select the Enroll - Energy Savings button to the right to contact your local Energy Savings Representative. Once you complete the brief online form, you will be contacted for a complementary energy survey.


In this post I will touch on the topic of laptops for photo processing, because many people still can not cope with it and believe that it is enough to find the most powerful laptop with a nice matrix that will fit into our budget and the matter is settled. Unfortunately, it is not so easy, because processors are similar to each other only in name, nice screens are not always suitable for photo processing and after buying a good monitor, the stairs begin.
Maybe you have this belief, or your “it colleague” will tell you – “Take this laptop with an i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, SSD and a powerful graphics card, because it is at a good price and has an IPS screen.” And this is where the topic of buying a laptop for photo processing with a fellow computer scientist ends. You will probably even be satisfied with how it works, but will it be the best choice?
In a way, it’s good if someone advises you on a gaming laptop, because these are usually focused on performance, but gaming screens will not always be a good choice for photos. We’ll come back to that.
A photo laptop with M1 and M2 processors is a revolution!
In 2020, Apple introduced the M1 processors, a year later the M1 Pro and M1 Max, and in 2022 the M1 Ultra processor, which revolutionized the computer market. So if you do not want to play games or work on programs created only for Windows, you can skip the topic of intel processors.
At the moment, the basic configuration of the MacBook Air M1 with 8GB (he wanted to have 16GB better) has performance on the level of previous MacBook Pro with i7 and i9 processors, which are much more expensive. So having a budget of about 6000 zł, you can already get a MacBook Air M1 / 16GB / 256GB, which for most people who want to have a lightweight laptop for photo processing in Lightroom. And if someone does not need a laptop, then even cheaper will get a Mac mini in this configuration. If I started taking pictures now , I would start with Mac and save my nerves.
More about the new Apple computers and possible alternatives can be found under the line at the end of this post. Next you can read here about the rules in choosing a laptop for photo processing and what is worth paying attention to so as not to be deceived by marketing specialists, choosing a laptop for photo processing.
Laptop components for photo editing
The most important in a computer for photo processing is the processor, it is important that it is a model from the Intel Core family, at least 4-core from the H series (high-voltage). The processor model does not matter here, i.e. Intel Core i5, i7, i9, which is just a marketing name, because we can have a low-performance i7 U-series processor from a few years ago, which will be inferior to the current i5 H-series processors.
When it comes to AMD processors in laptops, I do not consider them to be a competition for Intel yet, if we are talking about laptops for photo processing, so for now I omit them.
How to read the name of Intel processors?
There are a lot of processors and on store shelves you can meet models (processors, not laptops) from a few years ago, so I will tell you how to read their markings. For example, let’s take the processor:
Intel® Core i5-8265U™(4 cores, 8 threads, clocked at 1.6 – 3.9 Ghz, 15W TDP, 6MB Catche)
Core™ – processor family (Celeron, Pentium, Core, Xeon)
i5 – product line
8 – in the name of this processor means 8th generation. In 2020 we already have the 10th generation, so the name could look like this – i5-10265U
265 – indicates the performance segment of the processor. The higher the value, the better.
Suffix will tell you the truth
U – this is the so-called. suffix, means the version of the processor and says a lot about performance and application. U processors are among the medium-performance models with a focus on energy efficiency.
Y – are ultra-energy-efficient processors with a TDP of 5-12W for tablets and small 2-in-1 devices
U – low-voltage processors with a TDP of 15-28W used in most 13-17″ laptops
G1/G4/G7 – U version, but with more powerful integrated graphics. G7 has Intel Iris Pro
H – high-voltage processors with a TDP of 45W in high-performance notebooks, workstations and gaming PCs
HK – this H with the possibility of overclocking
To sum up the processors
For processing, we should already need an i5 or i7 processor from the U series, which from the 8th generation are 4-core, but I would recommend looking for i5 and i7 models in the H version for the future, which will be 4 or 6-core and have a higher clock speed in Ghz.
In photo processing, at the moment we only need from 4 to 8 cores – but the most important thing is their timing. In Intel processors we have Turbo Boost technology, which automatically increases the clock speed of the processor, which in the latest laptops reaches up to 5Ghz per core.
TDP – is the power consumption of the processor expressed in watts. Y processors have a low power consumption of up to 5-8W to work long on the battery and have thin cases without fans. The U series has approx. 15-25W and is most often found in standard laptops, which are full on store shelves.
H-Series processors need 45W and need better cooling, so they are installed in laptops 15″ and larger. In the case of computers for gamers and professionals, which additionally have a dedicated graphics card that can download, for example, 90W, they can work shorter on the battery and be louder, because they will have two fans – separately for the processor and graphics.
How much RAM for photos?
A laptop for photo processing should have at least 16GB of RAM, but if we do not have the possibility to expand, I would personally choose 32GB of RAM. 64GB will not make much difference if we do not mount the video.
There is also the issue of the system. For me, 16GB on a Mac works a lot better than 16GB on Windows, which was able to close my project in Photoshop to make some space. Now I would choose a computer with 32GB of memory.
If we buy a laptop with less RAM and want to expand it later, it is worth checking how many free memory banks we have, or worse, whether they are not soldered to the motherboard. It is best if we have 2 free places or more, because then we have a chance to use multi-channel memory. Let’s also choose the memory with the highest MHz clock speed that a given laptop supports and the lowest CL latency.
HyperX Impact memory is very popular in laptops and if we want to buy a 16GB cube clocked at 2666 MHz CL 15 and the laptop already has an 8GB Kingston cube clocked at 2400 Mhz and CL 17 then our HyperX will have to slow down to 2400. In this case, it is best to sell 2400 Mhz memory and buy, for example, hyperX 32GB (2x16GB) 2666MHz CL15 Impact package.
Laptop Hard Drive
In the case of photo processing , I can no longer imagine buying a laptop with an HDD. Their only advantage is the price and maybe it is easier to recover data from them, but every normal photographer makes a backup?
For comfortable work, we should only need any SSD drive min. 256GB and some external drive, or server to rip finished projects. Of course, the more the better, because RAW from larger matrices take up more and more space, and disks are cheaper, so why bother.
I myself work on a 256GB NVMe SSD, but on the laptop I only have Lightroom software, documents and a catalog. I rip most of my RAW photos to the NAS right away, and in Lightroom I create only Smart Previews. Now I would choose 512GB or 1TB so that for large projects in the field I do not take an external drive.
In laptops you will find SATA 2.5″ SSDs either on the M2 connector, which pull up to 550MB/s read/write or PCIe NVMe SSDs on the M2 connector, which can pull out 3000-3500 MB/s depending on the pcIe interface version.
Graphics card in a laptop for photos
Until now, the graphics card for photo processing did not matter much, and sometimes even caused problems, but now more and more photo applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom are starting to use its capabilities. If you use a lot of filters in PS, or plan to buy one or several 4K monitors, it is also worth taking an interest in an additional graphics card, because the integrated one, although it can handle such resolutions for some time, unfortunately will simply be more loaded. Here, a simple model, even 2GB from the GeForce MX series, is enough.
There is no need to overpay for Quadro cards for photo processing, because they are not created for this, but we will often meet them in workstations for professionals. They give the most benefits in 3D machining and CAD programs. If you want to have a little more power or sometimes play a game or edit movies, choose something from the GTX or RTX series.
Laptop screen for photo editing
Many people do not realize that contrary to what laptop manufacturers say about their screens, in 2020 no matrix in a laptop is suitable for processing photos in Adobe RGB space and is not calibrated with hardware. If we buy a laptop, we will get at most the sRGB color space.
If we want to work only on a laptop and we just need sRGB space, there is a chance to find a computer that will cover this space in 99-100%.
In advertising materials promoting laptops we will sometimes find information about spaces of 100, 150 or even 250% sRGB, but what the manufacturer gives is the width / size of the gamut in relation to sRGB.
The gamut of the screen should cover the sRGB space in 100% if we want to process photos for the network and print them in the photolab. In practice, it turns out that the monitor displays a gamut of 200% sRGB, but not where it is needed. Such a monitor may seem better, because some colors will be more vivid and bright, which a lot of people fall for, because it masks the shortcomings in other colors.
Calibration of the matrix in a laptop?
In laptops, we do not have hardware calibration.
Unfortunately, but it is impossible to completely move the gamut, which is somewhere next to it (as in the picture above), in a laptop it can only be cut to sRGB in software calibration, which finally results in less than 100% coverage and in some cases problems in the transitions between colors and jagged gradients.
Adobe RGB in a laptop?
Here it is an even bigger fairy tale of manufacturers, because even having a space of 99% Adobe RGB in a laptop by cutting a mismatched gamut we get 60-85%. Then it is better to work on sRGB or buy an external wide-gamut monitor, which we can additionally calibrate hardware.
It’s just that laptops that have wide-gamut displays have not yet been created, because the cost of such a laptop would be abstract considering that the monitors themselves cost from 5000 thousand. upwards. Not to mention what the flap of the monitor looks like, which has a matrix illuminated from the back to maintain evenness (here some hope may bring OLED).
The matrix in the flap is still a “flap”
If we are talking about colors, the Delta E (ΔE) parameter is also important, which approximately indicates a deviation of the color from the pattern. The smaller the better. A good screen should have a value around 1-2. Calibration often helps here (if there is anything to calibrate).
- 0.0 -1.0 – imperceptible (often measurement error)
- 1.0 – 2.0 – see people with high sensitivity to colors (women, artists, etc.)
- 2.0 – 3.0 – noticeable color difference
- 3.0 – 6.0 – acceptable in the printing production process
- 6.0 – >> – large colour difference acceptable in special cases
In the case of laptops, there is nothing to choose from, because either we have OLED where each pixel shines separately, or LCD panels illuminated by edge-lit LEDs. Technically, it would be difficult to add a backlight on the back of the matrix as it happens in graphic monitors, because laptops would start to look like 10 years ago, and OLED technology in laptops is just appearing and in high-end equipment.
The problem in LCD panels is certainly also the packing of matrices in laptops in tight and flaccid flaps – squeeze it slightly and see how the backlight begins to spill.
It is worth paying attention to the difference in backlight, because in laptops it can be up to 20% when we measure the brightness in the middle at its edges, which is unacceptable when working with the image. In the poor quality of the display, we can also see the difference in the white point by up to several hundred Kelvin.
A good monitor should not exceed 5% difference in backlight and 100 Kelvin for the white point, which is not so easy. In this matter, OLEDs win on laptops – even 4-7%, where in LCD a good result is 10%.
Gaming Games, Video Editing and 4K Screens at Laptop
In laptops, the role of the graphics card is taken over by the processor. In Intel processors we find Intel HD graphics, Iris and the most powerful Iris Pro. In a laptop, we did not need an additional graphics card to process photos up to a certain point, but this has recently changed and to an increasing extent programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom are starting to use external graphics. However, this is not as big a difference as when using video rendering programs or playing games, where an additional graphics card gives a noticeable increase in performance, but it is worth thinking about it.
Or maybe a monitor?
If you want to connect UHD and 4K monitors to your laptop and work with colors, you also need to think about an additional graphics card and a Display Port or Thunderbolt 3 connector that includes DP. At the same time, it does not have to be a professional Quadro card (it’s a pity to overpay) or a gaming GTX. To process photos, we only need a 2-4GB card from the GeForce MX series.
If we want to have a laptop with HDMI, it is worth digging up in its specification whether it is HDMI 2.0, because although we will have a good card, the laptop may have HDMI 1.4, which at 4K will give us only 30Hz.
To sum up about screens
What screen is worth looking for?
- IPS or OLED panel
- >99% sRGB coverage
- Delta E>2
- Backlight uniformity >90%
Interesting fact: If you are getting tired of your eyes, it is worth checking whether the matrix in your laptop has a brightness level regulated by PWM (Pulse-width modulation), i.e. modulation of the backlight voltage of the matrix. The backlight begins to pulse at specific intervals, which gives the impression that the screen is less bright. Ideally, there should be no modulation, or its frequency is very high (above 2000 Hz), then we should not feel its effects, unless we are really sensitive. A similar phenomenon can occur in incandescent bulbs, led strips, etc. The easiest way to check PWM is to record the screen or lighting in slow-motiom.
If you want to use external screens:
- Preferably Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort or at least HDMI 2.0
- Min. 2GB graphics card for 4K screens so as not to tire the CPU
Connectors in a laptop for photo processing
In a good laptop, the question of whether we have USB 2.0 or 3.0/3.1 is not a problem, because it usually has at least one or all. What would I pay attention to?
Thunderbolt 3 – usually confused with USB-C because of its shape, but with this one plug you can work wonders. Hated and underestimated by many, it can surprise. Unlike USB 3.0, which has 5Gb/s and 3.1 gen 2., which reaches 10Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 reaches 40 Gb/s, and also includes a DisplayPort connector, PCIe bus, provides power and can work in series (we will connect several devices one after the other). And for what is it to whom?
- DisplayPort will seamlessly allow us to connect 2 4K wide-range monitors, or one 5K and by the way charge the computer on the same cable (in selected monitors).
- PCIe – allows us to connect
, i.e. an external graphics card. Having a small 13″ computer with Thunderbolt 3, we can connect, for example, GeForce RTX 2080, which will be packed in a special case.
We will also be able to connect external PCIe SSDs, which will work as well as those in a laptop, because PCIe gives us a direct connection to the processor and all the rest of the components.
- No need to rotate the end as in USB A.
- And if we lack ports, we can connect very nice docking stations and hubs there.
HDMI – it is worth making sure that there is version 2.0, because at 4K we will get 60Hz and not 30.
Wi-Fi – it may not be a connector, but the standard should be an AC card (Wi-Fi 5), and recently there are already computers in the AX standard (Wi-Fi 6), which should give us at least 1-1.5Gb/s and in good routers up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth, which can free us up a little LAN cables if we use high-speed internet or NAS servers. But the more important thing will be that it will support even more devices without a decrease in transmission speed.
Windows or Mac for photo editing
When it comes to these systems, we usually meet with the opinion that Macs are too expensive for their specifications, but this is not entirely true. If we want to buy a laptop of a similar class as MacBook Pro 16 such as Dell XPS 15 , HP ZBook , Lenovo ThinkPad , Surface Book 3 , we will also pay about 10 thousand. Golden.
Adobe Creative Cloud or Office software and a lot of other programs are here and here and work very similarly on both systems. If something is not on one platform, we will probably find an alternative on the other. There is also no such thing as having to pay for everything on a Mac, because either there are free applications, or we can pay for something good, just like on Windows. There is no winner here.
If you are serious about working with color, then it is worth thinking about Mac. Windows so far can not manage the color well and as long as we work on screens with sRGB, the problem is not visible, but with Adobe RGB it will be problematic.
Color management by the system – having a wide-gamut monitor programs, i.e. Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge or a web browser in themselves can manage color under Windows, but going to the system windows and the desktop we will be blinded by too bright colors over which the system does not control. On Macs, this problem is not present.
Moving program windows – in addition, working on Windows with several screens after opening the program, the system loads the profile of the monitor on which we ran the application and moving the program to another monitor does not load its profile. The only solution is to reopen the application on the monitor on which we want to work with the application.
Scaling – if we want to use UHD and 4K screens on Windows, we may have a problem with scaling program windows. This is problematic with small diagonals, but at 27-32″ you can live with it. Here, too, Mac OS works better.
Selected laptops for photo editing
At the moment I’m working on a new list of photo editing laptops for 2022, but it’s not easy. If we talk about working in Lightroom and Photoshop, then there is nothing better at the moment than Apple computers. Of course, you can disagree, because new and sensible configurations start from about 6000 PLN, but on the other hand, there is nothing below this amount, nothing sensible to recommend with Windows, because we will always get a mid-range screen and good parameters and so you will have to buy a monitor for this. What with Windows 10, and the same in Windows 11 is associated with the problem of color management and support for multiple displays.
At the moment, he is adding a refreshed list that I created in 2020, and more will appear soon.
A laptop for processing photos from parties and events, which one did I choose?
The laptop for processing photos from parties and events that I chose at the end of 2021 is the MacBook Pro 14. Previously, I used a MacBook Pro 15 (late 2015), which served me for about 5 years and after changing the cameras to Sony with a 24MP sensor, I felt the desire to refresh this equipment. If it weren’t for photography, the MacBook Pro would have served me for a long time. Considering my needs and what this computer offers, I have no doubt that I chose well. Lightroom walks very quickly and responsively, and generates mini-drivers much faster.
MacBook Pro 14″ setup I chose
After long analyses and reflections. I opted for the version with the Apple M1 Pro processor (10-core, 14-core GPU), which is a bit higher than the basic model with an 8-core CPU and a 14-core GPU. For photo processing you do not need more, and even if I start playing video, it is still for a start, it will be a sufficient option.
16GB of RAM in the case of new MacBooks is a topic that I will develop when creating a post about MacBooks for processing photos from events. In my case, most of the work is done in Lightroom, and I don’t do a million things at once, that often. In photoshop, I usually do a simple retouching, without a lot of layers, so my demand is in these 16GB.
My previous MacBook Pro 15 from 2015 had the same amount of RAM, but here the difference is made by its speed. With an i7 processor and DDR3 memory, I could count on a maximum of 30GB/s of bandwidth. At the moment, the processor in the MacBook Air M1 has a bandwidth of 50GB/s and the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro up to 200GB/s (400GB/s in the M1 Max). For comparison, the latest PCs with DUAL-chanel DDR5 memory up to 130GB/s.
But won’t those SSDs die right away?
I know that there are a lot of topics about the wear of hard drives by transferring memory to an SSD, but if I used a laptop with 16GB of RAM even more intensively, I will sooner have to replace the laptop than the SSD memory. These were mainly problems with some application that did not talk about Rosetta 2 and downloaded huge amounts of RAM.
There is also the issue that the basic version of the MacBook Air M1 with 8GB of RAM with a 256GB disk was often mentioned. Such a specification on Windows for photo processing is a weak idea, because the computer would simply slow down. A lot of people also chose the 8GB version, because it goes well, but here, however, memory SWAP occurs very often.
Will you be using one laptop for 15 years?
Writing about 50GB of data per day every day, on a 256 GB SSD with a TBW of 150TB – theoretically I would use it after more than 8 years. In practice, it can be much more, because I have not yet heard of anyone who would “save” the SSD to death while processing photos. Drives of top laptop SSDs were also made and they withstood the values expressed in Petabytes. To sum up, you will sooner fall controller than memory blocks.
I chose the 1TB version because I wanted to save fun with disks like with the previous Mac, and recently I need to rip photos somewhere on trips more often. Usually also larger disks, have better write and lifespan, which I mentioned above, so rather this disk will still survive me. At the moment, after about 8 months, the degree of consumption is 1%. And I did quite a lot on it in the first months.
I chose the 14″ screen consciously, because I needed a lightweight computer for travel, which can be practically held even with one hand and work with the other. By the way, the new mini-LED screen with a resolution of 3024 by 1964 pixels and ppi 254, plus a brightness of 500 nits (up to 1600 nits in HDR) allows you to work even on a sunny day.
In the case of quick reportage orders, when I have to work in a hotel or train, it is enough to prepare the material. At home, I use a 27″ monitor with Adobe RGB color space. I can connect another monitor, but I have other expenses.
More than 2 displays on MacBook Pro M1 Pro
Some may argue that the new processors support few displays. In the case of M1, only 1 (Mac mini will support 2), and in MacBooks 2 or 4 depending on the processor. However, there is a way to do this, which I described in this entry.
If someone is interested in it, I chose silver, because it is less fingered, it looks like my previous laptop and is not so associated with the new MacBook Pro, and I have the impression that a lot of people buy Apple equipment in new colors, so that you can see that it is “the new one”. I prefer modest and raw silver.
By the way, the new MacBook Pro 14 and 16 finally gave up butterfly keyboards, to which I was very skeptical, although the computer treats very well, I know how hard it is to replace this element, because the adventure with battery replacement in the previous MacBook. In the case of the new bodies, the design has also been refreshed and its Pro application has been emphasized even more.
Almost passive cooling
Despite such efficient processes that some associate with tablets and phones, inside we have two fans that are completely turned off most of the time. At the moment, as I write this text, my processor is 45 degrees, and the windmills do not make any noise. In the case of its predecessor with the i7 processor, the windmills walked non-stop, more or less.

Sony Mobile debuts the world’s first Super slow motion video in a smartphone
- Ground-breaking Motion Eye™ camera with the world’s first Super slow motion video in a smartphone and new Predictive Capture
- Exceeding your expectations, XA1 (5”) features high-end camera specifications with 23MP sensors
- Beautiful borderless design for a full-width display
Kuala Lumpur, 28th March 2017, Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today unveiled its ground-breaking smartphone, Xperia XZs, with a camera so advanced it captures motion that the human eye can’t see, as well as the stunning super mid-range model in its refreshed “X” series, Xperia XA1.
“Sony Mobile is committed to delivering elegant and smarter products to our consumers. We constantly challenge ourselves to expand on what the smartphone can do more to complement our lifestyle. In doing so, we proudly brought together the newest additions in the Xperia X Series,” said Andrew Cheong, Country Director (Malaysia) at Sony Mobile. “For example, the latest Xperia XZs encompasses the most advanced camera technology such as memory-stacked camera system which enables super slow motion capture.”
The launch of the two new additions to Xperia X series marks the third time that Sony Mobile is partnering with the online marketplace, 11street for an exclusive pre-order.
“This partnership with Sony provides our shoppers with the opportunity to be the first to pre-order and own the Xperia XZs, the world’s first smartphone with the ability to capture Super slow-motion. This is part of our commitment to bring on board the new-to-market and popular products, and our shoppers will be thrived for being able to purchase such high quality mobile gadget online at 11street exclusively,” says Bruce Lim, VP of Merchandising, 11street.
Encapsulating decades of Sony innovation, Xperia XZs incorporates imaging know-how embedded on Sony ‘α’ and Cyber-shot™ cameras to create the new Motion Eye™ camera system, for capturing life in ways no other smartphone can. Among the first Xperia smartphones to feature a memory stacked Exmor™RS sensor with technologies usually only found on premium compact cameras, it provides 5x faster image scanning and data transfer. This means you can create sensational videos from your everyday moments by recording in 960 frames per second, providing Super slow motion video playback that is four times slower than other smartphones giving you more detail than has ever been possible in the palm of your hand. Plus Predictive Capture stays one step ahead and automatically starts buffering images when it detects motion even before you press the shutter button, so you can find a moment your eye may just have missed from a selection of up to four shots taken a second before you click. On top of this, the new 19MP high resolution sensor has 19% larger pixels to capture more light and provides exceptional detail and sharp images even in low-light and backlit conditions. Additional improvements have been made inside Motion Eye™ to the Bionz™ for mobile processing engine meaning it detects moving objects more precisely to enable Predictive Capture. Clarity, detail and texture are also improved to give exceptional image quality thanks to the redesigned G lens with high optical clarity.
Building on the success of last year’s XA models, the XA1 features a beautiful borderless design to make the most of the edge-to-edge screen, cameras that are worthy of a high-end premium status and octa-core processor.
Camera expertise are taken from Sony’s digital camera division to deliver a leading rear camera for XA1 that offers 23MP high resolution with a large 1/2.3” Exmor™RS for mobile sensor, bright F2.0 lens and superior lowlight capability. You’re guaranteed a superfast journey from launch to capture in 0.6s and incredibly fast and accurate Hybrid Autofocus, so even the most spontaneous moments are always in focus. In addition, with 24mm wide-angle lens, the rear camera can capture more as compared to its predecessor.
Front cameras are the backbone of the selfie world and the 8MP, 23mm wide-angle lens on Xperia XA1 will let you capture all the action even in a group selfie without missing anyone out. The new model allows you to capture the perfect selfie easily with just a wave via the ‘Hand Shutter’ camera feature.
The beautiful borderless design introduced in 2016 has been refined to create the illusion of a seamless, never-ending surface with curvature that aids the perfect fit in your hand. The edge-to-edge HD (720p) 5” screen on XA1 is supported by display technologies to deliver a crisp, sharp viewing experience. Sony craftsmanship is clear to see with the diamond cut-like finish on top and bottom, along with the choice of materials such as the aluminium sides which create a rich feel in the hand.
With their power-efficient MediaTek helio P20 octa-core processor, you get a quick and smooth experience, whether you browse the web, watch a video or play your favourite game. XA1 is designed to ensure a longer lasting performance over the smartphone’s lifetime.
Making life easier
The new products are equipped with a host of intelligent features such as Qnovo Adaptive Charging which monitors the battery’s health and adjusts charging current accordingly to avoid damage and maximise lifespan whilst Stamina Mode keeps your battery going for longer when you really need it the most by disabling some functions.
Sony’s Smart Cleaner cleverly manages the performance and memory of your device by clearing the cache and unused apps automatically in order to attain the best speed and performance without degradation over time. Additionally, it supports quick charging to give you hours of power with just a few minutes of charging.
The nationwide pre-order for Xperia XZs and Xperia XA1 will begin from 29th March until 9th April for RM2899 and RM1199 respectively at selected Sony Stores, Sony Mobile Stores, Sony Centres, authorised dealers as well as through 11street. Those who pre-order the Xperia XZs will be receiving exclusive gifts such as the SBH80 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, UCH12W Quick Charger and transparent silicon case with tempered glass protector which are worth a total of RM697, while customers who pre-order the Xperia XA1 will receive a DK60 Charging Dock, a transparent silicon case, and tempered glass screen protector which are worth a total of RM268.

‘A critical comparison of topology-based pathway analysis methods’ authored by the team of Dr Vlad Popovici at the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment (RECETOX), Masarykova Univerzita has been recently published in PLoS One. The body of research by Ivana Ihnatova, Vlad Popovici and Eva Budinska appeared online on 25 January 2018.
One of the aims of high-throughput gene/protein profiling experiments is the identification of biological processes altered between two or more conditions. Pathway analysis is an umbrella term for a multitude of computational approaches used for this purpose. While in the beginning pathway analysis relied on enrichment-based approaches, a newer generation of methods is now available, exploiting pathway topologies in addition to gene/protein expression levels. However, little effort has been invested in their critical assessment with respect to their performance in different experimental setups. Here, we assessed the performance of seven representative methods identifying differentially expressed pathways between two groups of interest based on gene expression data with prior knowledge of pathway topologies: SPIA, PRS, CePa, TAPPA, TopologyGSA, Clipper and DEGraph. We performed a number of controlled experiments that investigated their sensitivity to sample and pathway size, threshold-based filtering of differentially expressed genes, ability to detect target pathways, ability to exploit the topological information and the sensitivity to different pre-processing strategies. We also verified type I error rates and described the influence of overexpression of single genes, gene sets and topological motifs of various sizes on the detection of a pathway as differentially expressed. The results of our experiments demonstrate a wide variability of the tested methods. We provide a set of recommendations for an informed selection of the proper method for a given data analysis task.

OVMC and EORH to Improve Patient Care Using Upgraded Digital Imaging TechnologyMonday, December 5, 2011
Ohio Valley Medical Center and East Ohio Regional Hospital have successfully introduced an upgraded digital imaging technology system in a step toward providing clearer digital resolution resulting in more accurate detection, improving patient care and creating a paperless electronic patient record.
The updated medical imaging system is being used for images that previously were printed on film. The upgraded digital imaging technology allows physicians to immediately access and share patients\' digital images and reports from any location. Providing this critical medical information more quickly allows physicians to provide a faster and more accurate diagnosis for the patient.
"More images and information are needed in more places by more people than ever before," said Vicki Novick, director of radiology at OVMC and EORH. "With this upgraded version of the PACS technology, we are able to communicate faster and more efficiently with the entire care team, in turn, improving our patient care."
With the upgraded digital imaging technology, clearer images are sent electronically to workstations across the hospital so the proper physician an immediately review them and provide an electronic report for referring physicians to view within minutes. In the future, all medical information and images that physicians need to provide patient care will be available electronically.
"The upgraded PACS system has been a tremendous addition to the quality of care we provide at OVMC and EORH," said Jan Jennings, interim president and CEO. "This up-to-date technology is just another way we are improving patient safety and producing better outcomes for all of our patients."
Ohio Valley Medical Center, located in Wheeling West Virginia, and East Ohio Regional Hospital, located in Martins Ferry Ohio, are a 340 bed combined organization providing quality primary and tertiary healthcare to the Ohio Valley.
