    First, your asdoc.exe should be in your system path Open command window, cd to your project folder. In this folder, you should find src folder Run command asdoc -source-path .\src -doc-sources . Then a folder called “asdoc-output” will be
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    What is the limit of this infinite exponential? Solution 1: $$x=\sqrt{2}^x$$ This leads to x=2 or 4 Solution 2: $$x=^x$$ This leads to x not equal to 2 or 4 Solution 3: MatLab simulation of series $$\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}^\sqrt{2}, [\s
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    I find saveppt2 is very useful in data exploration. I often have to view a lot of plots/figures for individual subjects during quality checking or data exploration. It would be ideal to have a script to automatically save the plots into PowerPoint an
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    Adobe AIR 2 beta is out last night (Nov 16, 2009). It includes a number of highly expected features including launching native applications. It also improves CPU/memory usages. Some sample applications include: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air2
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    When you submit a manuscript, many journals ask you to send your figures in TIFF format with some requirements such as 300dpi, flattened, LZW compressed, etc. How to do that? My figures are usually finalized in MS PowerPoint. I don’t use PowerP
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    updated: 2010/01/05, add plot of original data Assume our data contains two features and they are highly correlated (say, r>0.9). The 1st feature does slightly better than the 2nd one in classifying the data. The question is, is the weight of the

    I usually write MatLab scripts to parse the behavior data collected in a fMRI or NIRS experiment. It’s powerful and flexible. But as I have to do an Excel version recently, I found Excel has a great advantage — it’s easy to share wi
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    If your AIR application needs to do something (e.g. saving some settings) before quitting, you may listen to the Event.EXITING event, and then preventDefault(), then do something, and finally call NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit() to quit. B
