#Major breakthrough in reading ancient scrolls A breakthrough not only in digital imaging techniques the first-of-its-kind software could also have profound impacts on history and literature.
Without unrolling the scrolls Seales'software will run extremely high-resolution images from the tangled surfaces making sense of the jumbled letters into words and words into passages.
The software will combine novel methods for finding the scroll surfaces together with a user-guided interface for correcting mistakes
We're using that data to build software so that we can pull out large sections and flatten them said Seales.
The software we're building will be the first to visualize data in that way and it's crucial to uncovering the works inside the Herculaneum scrolls.
Supported by a three-year $500000 National Science Foundation grant and by Google where Seales spent his sabbatical in 2012-2013 the computer science professor has begun working to develop the software.
The computer science professor is working on the software with a team of UK undergraduate and graduate students including:
The scans will utilize Seales'software as well as the new x-ray technique. Seales said the project plan is to release working software
and datasets as soon as possible for scholars to examine. By project's end the team hopes to have created a software tool
and a set of scans of scrolls that together will transform the hopelessly damaged Herculaneum collection into new literary discoveries he said.
and Microsoft have teamed up to develop software called Onsight, a new technology that will enable scientists to work virtually on Mars using wearable technology called Microsoft Hololens.

The software uses a machine-learning algorithm--the sort computers connected to security cameras might use for automated facial recognition.
They then applied software they designed to the analysis, which used a conventional approach to statistical classification known as machine learning--a sorting strategy based on pattern similarities that has been used extensively in applications like facial recognition software.

#First-of-its-kind tornado panels installed in Montgomery Home in June, UAB's tornado panels designed to protect against flying debris were installed as an integral component of a safe room in a new construction home in the Montgomery, Alabama area.
Uday Vaidya, Ph d.,professor and chair of UAB's Department of Materials science and engineering, worked with Storm Resistant Systems
and Cooper Structural Engineers to scale the panels for use in this home. The safe room is designed in accordance with FEMA standards to withstand 250 mile-per-hour winds,
The UAB panels were approved by the National Storm Shelter Association to hold up against an EF5 tornado."
"To see panels pass our most extreme test the first time is said very impressive Larry Tanner, P. E.,manager of the NSSA/Texas Tech Debris Impact Test Facility."
"The composition of thermoplastic and fiberglass resins and fibers used in the panels are stronger per-unit density than the steel used in many current shelters
The team working on the safe room developed a steel frame that holds the panels, and the frame can be broken down
"The UAB panels are unique in comparison to the other products I've seen used in that they are lightweight, similar to plywood,
what makes these panels a step above other products on the market.""This installation comes after four years of research, testing, approvals and manufacturing, following the 2011 Alabama tornado outbreak.

Hyundai says it is the first automaker to launch Android Auto in a production car,
All that's needed to get it is a free software flash at a dealership. Android Auto and the yet-to-arrive Apple Carplay are aimed at preventing drivers from becoming distracted.
