Pion energy reconstruction is studied using the data collected during the 2004 ATLAS combined test beam. The strategy to extract corrections for the non-compensating nature of the ATLAS calorimeters for dead material losses and for leakage effects is discussed and assessed. The default ATLAS strategy based on a weighting technique of the energy deposits in calorimeter cells is presented and com...

To simplify the problem of atlas selection in multi-atlas segmentation, we define Minimum Reduced Atlas Database (MinRAD), and give an algorithm of selecting MinRAD. Furthermore, nine types of MinRAD model are proposed based different similarity measures and input images, and their performances on multiatlas segmentation are compared in two databases. Finally, we give some advice on how to sele...

This paper presents a critical analysis of the Russian National Atlas (2004–2008), presentation which is based on tradition Soviet school complex atlas production, and first (and so far only) post-Soviet national atlas. Following cartography approach, this deconstructs atlas’ structure range presented maps to decode construction spatial identity imposed “cartographic silences”. The shows how te...

The purpose of this study was to propose and evaluate a method of creating a synthetic CT (S-CT) from MRI simulation for dose calculation and daily CBCT localization. A pair of MR and CT images was obtained in the same day from each of 10 prostate patients. The pair of MR and CT images was preregistered using the deformable image registration (DIR). Using the corresponding displacement vector f...

Extended Abstract The challenge of extending database systems for decision support applications has been the topic of much recent research—a very incomplete list of previous work includes [11, 8, 12, 4, 10, 5]. Yet, there is no generally accepted solution for the problem, which remains a critical one, since the inability of current DBMSs to support data mining applications is well-tested and cl...

The article introduces the Czech historiographical work called Historical Atlas and presents its analysis in terms of concept, structure, technical layout. primary focus is on atlas content subdivision into thematic logical sections or semiological structure used space. Last but not least, cartographic aspects format are also analysed, including, for example, scales projections. findings presen...
