It is good to see that London has produced an atlas well worthy to replace the German atlases which hitherto have flooded the country. The present atlas has twenty-four pages of illustrated letterpress and a fine plate illustrating the anatomy and physiology of the female body. The plates are extremely good, the muscles and chief organs being very distinct. We can strongly recommend this atlas ...

• Identification of the optimum technology and layout of the tracking detectors for the upgraded ATLAS ID and construction of a short-strip silicon detector (SSD) module with sufficient radiation hardness for the intermediate and outer tracking region in the upgraded ATLAS ID. • Evaluation of integrated circuit technologies for the readout of the upgraded ATLAS ID, in particular the evaluation ...

The extensive tau physics programs of the ATLAS experiment relies heavily on trigger to select hadronic decays of tau lepton. Such a trigger is implemented in ATLAS to efficiently collect signal events, while keeping the rate of multi-jet background within the allowed bandwidth. This contribution summarizes the performance of the ATLAS hadronic tau trigger system during 2011 data taking period ...

This document reports on the results of the subgroup working on topic b: Radiation tolerance and reliability of optoelectronic components. It summarizes in an informal way several discussions among ATLAS SCT, ATLAS Pixel, ATLAS LAr and CMS tracker optical link designers. This document summarizes the agreement on irradiation guidelines for the optoelectronic systems at the SLHC. It covers lasers...

A mid-infrared atlas of the Galactic Plane (MIGA) has been constructed to provide a mid-infrared data set for the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, a Canadian-lead international project to map all of the major components of the interstellar medium of the Milky Way at a common resolution of approximately 1 ′. The atlas is based on HIRES processing of IRAS 12 and 25 µm data. Details of the MIGA pro...

In multi-atlas based segmentation, a target image is segmented by registering multiple atlas images to this target image and propagating the corresponding atlas segmentations. These propagated segmentations are then combined into a single segmentation in a process called label fusion. Multi-atlas based segmentation is a segmentation method that allows fully automatic segmentation of image popul...

Recently, multi-atlas patch-based label fusion has achieved many successes in medical imaging area. The basic assumption in the current state-of-the-art approaches is that the image patch at the target image point can be represented by a patch dictionary consisting of atlas patches from registered atlas images. Therefore, the label at the target image point can be determined by fusing labels of...

BACKGROUND Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRI is a well-established perfusion MR imaging technique for estimating relative cerebral blood volume (CBV) in primary brain tumors; however, tumors localized to regions with naturally elevated perfusion, including cortical tissue and common vascular territories, make evaluation of tumor vascularity difficult to assess. In the current study, we ...

The WHO Atlas on Country Resources for Intellectual Disabilities (Atlas-ID) has been initiated under the umbrella of the "Atlas Project" begun in 2000 by the World Health Organization (WHO). The main purpose of the WHO Atlas Project, as a part of the mission of WHO, is to offer technical support to its member countries in the development of quality health services. Within this framework, the At...
