Current research in genomics, proteomics and personalized medicine requires fast, precise and high-throughput target profiling. To meet this challenge, barcode technology for massively parallel and high-throughput bio-detection has attracted much attention. Furthermore, multifunctional carriers would find broad usage in in vitro diagnostics and...

Automatic face authorization has long been an active research area for its wide potential applications, such as law enforcement, security access, and man-machine interaction. Among various approaches, Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to face imaging is now a cornerstone in face recognition. However, 2-D face recognition methods are in general...

A major limitation of current methods to detect specific DNA sequences is the need to amplify the target DNA to detectable levels using PCR. The additional instrumentation and reagents required for PCR severely limit the portability of PCR based detection systems, greatly extend the time required for analysis, and potentially introduce significant...
