Browsing MathWorks Matlab Central File Exchange is one of my daily routines. One thing that I had always wished was a way to preview the matlab file images before clicking on the link. It can save a lot of time when browsing for a large number of files. So, I made a solution for it using Greasemonkey and jQuery. Enjoy!

Download and install the script from here. You need to have Greasemonkey installed.

If you have a serial code or software, i.e. a Matlab .m file, and a 8 core workstation laying in your lab, I bet you are already looking for a method to speed up your work. Here, I show you how to use threading in Python as an easy alternative to other methods such as Nvidia's CUDA.

Let's get started.

My first paper, "Computational study of the drag and oscillatory movement of biofilm streamers in fast flows", has been selected as a Spotlight paper in Biotechnology and Bioengineering.

In nature, biological systems such as biofilms exhibit a streamlined form exposed to harsh changing environments. Also, these structures have an interesting structure in common. They have a base attached to the substratum and a tail that flaps in the flow. These two characteristics: streamlined shape and flapping tail behavior have been the focus of my recent study (Taherzadeh et al., 2009).
