A systematic coherence analysis is presented for the set of the most prominent millennial reconstructions of Northern hemispheric temperature. The large number of mutual coherences underwent a clustering analysis that revealed five significant, mutually incoherent (“inconsistent”) clusters. The use of multiple proxies seems to be causing the 5 clustering, at least in part, but not in an easily ...

Can we reconstruct Arctic sea ice back to 1900 with a hybrid approach? S. Brönnimann, T. Lehmann, T. Griesser, T. Ewen, A. N. Grant, and R.

Most of the inverse problems arising in applied electromagnetics come from an underdetermined direct problem, this is the case, for instance, of spatial resolution enhancement. This implies that no unique inverse operator exists; therefore, additional constraints must be imposed on the sought solution. When dealing with microwave remote sensing, among the possible choices, the minimum p–norm co...

BACKGROUND Severe lower extremity trauma as a devastating combat related injury is on the rise and this presents reconstructive surgeons with significant challenges to reach optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes. This study assessed early reconstructions of complex lower extremity battlefield soft tissue wounds. METHODS  This was a prospective case series study of battled field injur...

In this work we propose a method for optimizing the lossy compression for a network of diverse reconstruction systems. We focus on adapting a standard image compression method to a set of candidate displays, presenting the decompressed signals to viewers. Each display is modeled as a linear operator applied after decompression, and its probability to serve a network user. We formulate a complic...

Beirut has successively been seen as the icon of the war-destroyed city, the paradigmatic case of “urbicide” and then as the symbol of a city rebirth through the reconstruction of its city center, praised in real estate journals and sold as a booming touristic destination to natives of the Arabo-Persian Gulf. Both images place Beirut as a city out of compare, out of norm, defining it as a uniqu...

Introduction These lecture notes are the result of a series of lectures given by Martin Vingron (MPI/FU Berlin) and Jens Stoye (Bielefeld University) and a practical course by Hannes Luz (MPI, Berlin). As the title implies, the focus of these notes is on ideas and algorithmic methods that are applied when evolutionary relationships are to be reconstructed from molecular sequences or other speci...
