What is Expression Atlas? Expression Atlas [2] is an EMBL-EBI database and web-service that curates, re-analyses and displays gene expression [3] data across species and biological conditions such as different tissues, cell types, developmental stages and diseases. Expression Atlas aims to help answer questions such as 'where is my favourite gene expressed?' or 'how does its expression change i...

The current state of the art Matrix-Matrix-Multiplication (MMM) kernel is known as ATLAS, which generates the best performing MMM code by search. However, today’s computer architecture changes rapidly and it is hard to generate a high performance code without knowing how to use the new instruction sets. Since ATLAS does not make use of blocking for L2 cache, or SSE/SSE2 instruction, we are enco...

At WARFP 2005, we proposed ATLAS as a scalable implementation for transactional parallel systems [5]. The impetus for the development of ATLAS is to address the significant hurdles that software simulators face in multiprocessor architectural research. In particular, ATLAS is an FPGA-based system that primarily serves as a rapid software development platform for our transactional memory model, ...

We present a two-step process including white matter atlas generation and automatic segmentation. Our atlas generation method is based on population fiber clustering. We produce an atlas which contains high-dimensional descriptors of fiber bundles as well as anatomical label information. We use the atlas to automatically segment tractography in the white matter of novel subjects and we present ...

We present a method based on multiresolution signal processing on meshes to create a thickness atlas. We applied this method to construct an atlas of bladder wall thickness. Bladder cancer is associated with increased bladder wall thickness. A thickness atlas helps to detect abnormal thickening in the bladder wall. Extracting inner and outer surface meshes from segmented images, we compute the ...

There have been paucity of reports on atlas hypoplasia, and as a result this condition is not clearly defined, nor well understood. The authors reported three cases of atlas hypoplasia that were found in adults who presented with myelopathic symptoms. On radiographic examination, it was found that the anterior-posterior diameter of the atlas was remarkably narrower in all three cases in compari...

Background. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is one of the standard surgical treatments for advanced Parkinson's disease. However, it has been difficult to accurately localize the stimulated contact area of the electrode in the subthalamic nucleus and its adjacent structures using a two-dimensional atlas. The goal of this study is to verify the real and detailed loc...

The Atlas of Descriptive Histology is an extremely comprehensive and well-organized atlas composed of 159 photographed micrographs covering everything from basic tissue to full organ histology. In a clear, systematic fashion, the authors move from simple tissue structures to complex organ systems, including micrographs of the adult tongue, lip, teeth, eye, ear, and developing teeth. Each chapte...

This paper describes the ATLAS production tool AtCom (for ATLAS Commander). The purpose of the tool is to automate as much as possible the task of a production manager: defining and submitting jobs in large quantities, following up upon their execution, scanning log files for known and unknown errors, updating the various ATLAS bookkeeping databases on successful completion of a job whilst clea...
