Security on the US Fusion Grid

The National Fusion Collaboratory project is developing and deploying new distributed computing and remote collaboration technologies with the goal of advancing magnetic fusion energy research. This work has led to the development of the US Fusion Grid (FusionGrid), a computational grid composed of collaborative, compute, and data resources from the three large US fusion research facilities and...

[MRI/US-fusion for targeted prostate biopsy].

An innovative fusion of previously acquired magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images with real-time transrectal ultrasound (US) may lead to improved prostate cancer detection, thus necessitating fewer biopsies. Suspicious lesions can be identified, localised - and possibly classified - via an MRI scan. Subsequently, a biopsy needle can be guided accurately into the suspicious area of the prostat...

SPECT-US image fusion and clinical applications

Because scintigraphic images lack anatomical information, single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography systems (PET) are combined physically with CTs to compensate for this drawback. In our work, we present a method where the CT is replaced by a 3D ultrasound device. Because in this case a mechanical linkage is not possible, we use an additional optical tracking sy...

Lessons from the Logic of Demonstratives: what indexicality teaches us about logic, and vice versa

Logic and linguistically-informed philosophy of language are becoming increasingly specialised disciplines. I think this is a consequence of the fact that each is making rapid progress, but it has as a consequence that it has become less routine for someone who is doing cutting-edge work on central topics in the one to also be doing cutting-edge work on central topics in the other. As a result,...
