Although ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a widely accepted standard for WANs Wide Area Networks it has not yet been widely embraced by the NOW community because i most current ATM switches and interfaces have high latency and and ii they drop cells when even short term congestion happens In this paper we present ATLAS I a single chip ATM switch with Gbits sec aggregate I O throughput that was...

The Berbers of the High Atlas (Amazigh) live in very severe socio-economic and climatic conditions, which expose children to the risk of malnutrition. In this study we used anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis for the assessment of nutritional status. Height, weight and bioelectrical parameters were taken on 71 children (28 boys and 43 girls). Height and BMI were standardized usin...

Atlas-based image labeling is a fundamental tool in medical image segmentation. Recent years have seen extension of single-atlas warping to multi-atlas warping and fusion, which has clearly demonstrated the advantage of consensus-based segmentation. Herein, we further extend this concept, by leveraging upon morphological appearance manifolds (MAMs), which have been previously used to represent ...

The heavy-ion program at the LHC will be pursued by three experiments including ATLAS, a multipurpose detector to study p+p collisions. A report on the potential of the ATLAS detector to uncover new physics in Pb+Pb collisions at energies thirty times larger than energy available at RHIC is presented. Key aspects of the heavy-ion program of the ATLAS experiment, with the emphasis on extending m...

A computerized brain atlas adjustable to the patient's anatomy would serve serveral purposes. It could be used in stereotaxic surgery. Even more important would be its use in medical imaging to identify various brain structures, such as the basal ganglia and their nuclei, as well as individual cortical gyri. This atlas could be used for additional mapping of nonvisible structures in images obta...

A mid-infrared atlas of part of the Galactic plane (75◦ < l < 148◦, b = ±6◦) has been constructed using HIRES processed infrared data to provide a mid-infrared data set for the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). The addition of this data set to the CGPS will enable the study of the emission from the smallest components of interstellar dust at an angular resolution comparable to that of the ...

A method for automated location of shape differences in diseased anatomical structures via high resolution biomedical atlases annotated with labels from formal ontologies is described. In particular, a high resolution magnetic resonance image of the myocardium of the human left ventricle was segmented and annotated with structural terms from an extracted subset of the Foundational Model of Anat...

The INIA19 is a new, high-quality template for imaging-based studies of non-human primate brains, created from high-resolution, T(1)-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images of 19 rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) animals. Combined with the comprehensive cortical and sub-cortical label map of the NeuroMaps atlas, the INIA19 is equally suitable for studies requiring both spatial normalization and a...

A precursor to the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) commenced in 1979 when alien invasive woody plants were surveyed along roadsides throughout Gauteng Province (formerly central Transvaal), South Africa (Wells et al. 1980). These surveys were later extended to the remainder of South Africa and were completed in 1993 (Henderson & Musil 1984; Henderson 1989, 1991a,b, 1992, 1998a). T...
