However for man and other organisms is expected to change the more sophisticated expeditions, additional maps are way we formulate and address biological questions. needed.

A gene expression atlas is an essential resource to quantify and understand the multiscale processes of embryogenesis in time and space. The automated reconstruction of a prototypic 4D atlas for vertebrate early embryos, using multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization with nuclear counterstain, requires dedicated computational strategies. To this goal, we designed an original methodological...

Abstract. "VIRUS Atlas Austria" (https://map.geo.univie.ac.at/virus_atlas/) is a map-based portal to transport primarily COVID-19 relevant spatio-temporal topics for Austria. In the current version, information on as well selected of labor market and demography are integrated. For this purpose, alternative cartographic representations have been developed, visualize at glance. The aim atlas prov...

We present a novel method for inferring tissue labels in atlas-based image segmentation using Gaussian process regression. Atlas-based segmentation results in probabilistic label maps that serve as input to our method. We introduce a contour-driven prior distribution over label maps to incorporate image features of the input scan into the label inference problem. The mean function of the Gaussi...

A full-sky Hα map with 6 (FWHM) resolution is presented. This map is a composite of the Virginia Tech Spectral line Survey (VTSS) in the north and the Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas (SHASSA) in the south. The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) survey provides a stable zero-point over 3/4 of the sky on a 1 scale. This composite map can be used to provide limits on thermal bremsstrahlung (free-fr...

The meaning of language is represented in regions of the cerebral cortex known collectively as the “semantic system”. However, little of the semantic system has been mapped comprehensively, and the semantic selectivity of most regions is still unknown. Here we systematically map semantic selectivity across the cerebral cortex using voxel-wise modeling of fMRI data collected while subjects liste...

MOTIVATION Information concerning the gene expression pattern in four dimensions (species, genes, anatomy and developmental stage) is crucial for unraveling the roles of genes through time. There are a variety of anatomical gene expression databases, but extracting information from them can be hampered by their diversity and heterogeneity. RESULTS aGEM 3.1 (anatomic Gene Expression Mapping) a...

Small animal PET/MRI scanners producing anatomically co-registered simultaneously-acquired images of morphology, function and metabolic activity have become available and are expected to have a huge positive impact on the pre-clinical imaging field. Attenuation correction (AC) necessary for accurate quantification of PET signals is challenging in these scanners because the measured anatomical m...

Background: Small-area mortality atlases have been demonstrated to be a useful tool for both showing general geographical patterns in mortality data and identifying specific high-risk locations. In Spain no study has so far systematically examined geographic patterns of small-area mortality for the main causes of death. This paper presents the main features, contents and potential uses of the S...
