Congratulation

This year, a very interesting dissertation by Benjamin Winkel was published. He uses the data from my dissertation to improve the simulation of active muscle contractions. Congratulations on this work!

A new article is online

Our new research article (Robustness during Aging—Molecular Biological and Physiological Aspects) is online (Cells).

Not everything gets worse with age!

Software rebuild (cloud2, master, imagexd, enzyme2, vcfdumper)

Bug fixes and new features added (19.05.2020).

Software

Main changes: For all, please look into the macros!
@cloud2: New color maps. See also the new script description!
@cloud2: New splitting options: curvature or torsion.
@imagexd: New image and scalar command (median).
@imagexd: Dual and triple energy CT reconstruction (scalar.intensity).
@imagexd: New GUI for stack calculations – dual-energy, triple energy, subtract, mean, median (combine.starkrats).
@Ximagexd & Xenzyme2: Added for GUI development.
@enzyme2: New commands for publication mining.
@fasta2max: Added to convert fasta data to protein susceptibilities.

Bugs:
@cloud2: Fixing the analytical calculation for curvature and torsion (mesh>1d).
@imagexd & enzyme2: Now also correct loading with master.
Many thanks to Julian Sartori for his help!
