Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID)
Browse by
The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID) promotes an ever-expanding network of researchers and entrepreneurs unified by the generation of new data and ideas at the “informatic interfaces” of disciplines. Comprising eight research themes, WID encourages transdisciplinary collaboration to address the global problems facing the world in the 21st century. The Institute's themes are: Bionates, Epigenetics, the Living Environments Lab, Optimization, Systems Biology, and the Center for Complexity and Collective Computation. WID shares the Education Research Integration Area and the Core Computational Technology themes with the Morgridge Institute for Research. WID is the public half of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, located in the Discovery building with the private, nonprofit Morgridge Institute for Research and the Town Center, a public forum for discussion celebrating science.

What Wilhelm Ostwald meant by "Autokatalyse" and its significance to origins-of-life research: Facilitating the search for chemical pathways underlying abiogenesis by reviving Ostwald’s thought that reactants may also be autocatalysts
(WILEY Periodicals LLC, 2022-07-13)A closer look at Wilhelm Ostwald’s articles that originally proposed the concept of autocatalysis reveals that he accepted reactants, not just products, as potential autocatalysts. Therefore, that a process is catalyzed ... -
Calculating leaf surface areas using OpenCV
(2019-10-31)The script automatically finds areas of up to 4 contours near the corners of a central landmark post-it note for each image in a given folder. The areas in squared centimeters are output into a CSV file in the same folder. -
A graph-based comparative analysis of three-dimensional organization of chromosomes in yeast and mammals.
(2012-11-12)Genome-wide maps of chromosomal interactions are becoming increasingly common. Computational tools to analyze such maps, and more importantly, comparing such maps across multiple contexts, and organisms are scarce. We ... -

Atomic norm denoising with applications to line spectral estimation
(2012-04-02)The sub-Nyquist estimation of line spectra is a classical problem in signal processing, but currently popular subspace-based techniques have few guarantees in the presence of noise and rely on a priori knowledge about ...
