    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods, systems, and computer readable media for calibrating user responses to questions. The method may comprise presenting, with the aid of a computer system and an interactive display operatively coupled to the computer system, a query to a user. The query may relate to the user's dietary consumption, exercise, health condition or mental condition. The system may receive from the user a response to the query. The system may interpret a user's response to a query based on a set of reference information. The set of reference information may comprise a pictorial depiction of portion size of the dietary consumption, exertion level of the exercise, existing state of the health condition or existing state of the mental condition.

    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for optical analysis of cells in microgravity are disclosed.
    Effective cellular microscopic and image analysis requires placement of cells into a proper focal plane, region, or volume. Such placement often requires immobilization of the cells. Cell settling onto a substrate is often sufficient for cell immobilization; however, no significant settling occurs in microgravity. Cell immobilization in microgravity may be accomplished by treatment of a substrate, the cells, or both effective that the substrate captures and immobilizes the cells for inspection. Cells may be immobilized in microgravity by adhering magnetic particles to the cells and applying a magnetic field. Cells may be placed in a proper location for viewing in microgravity by placing the cells into a small chamber or narrow channel. Centrifugal force may effect cell settling and aid cell immobilization. Proper placement or immobilization of cells aids cellular microscopic and image analysis in microgravity.
