	*Facial recognition algorithm identifies severity of autism
<http://e1.lfw-media.com/c.html?ufl=a&rtr=on&s=x9w556,gcu4,ie,8cga,6r2,etzw,fdtu> 
* structural differences in the 3D facial morphology of autistic and 
normal children reflect alterations in embryological brain development 
and can identify two discrete autism spectrum disorder subgroups.
*Vibration isolation tables support stable optical setups
<http://e1.lfw-media.com/c.html?ufl=a&rtr=on&s=x9w556,gcu4,ie,gs3z,4zbc,etzw,fdtu> 
* Essential for many experiments in optics, the vibration-isolation 
table comes in many forms, including active and passive vibration 
isolation, as well as pneumatic and non-pneumatic versions.
