Statistics of optical coherence tomography data from human retina.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has recently become one of the primary methods for noninvasive probing of the human retina. The pseudoimage formed by OCT (the so-called B-scan) varies probabilistically across pixels due to complexities in the measurement technique. Hence, sensitive automatic procedures of diagnosis using OCT may exploit statistical analysis of the spatial distribution of reflectance.

On peptide de novo sequencing: a new approach.

A procedure is presented for the automatic determination of the amino acid sequence of peptides by processing data obtained from mass spectrometry analysis. This is a basic and relevant problem in the field of proteomics. Furthermore, it has an even higher conceptual and applicative interest in peptide research, as well as in other connected fields.
