The material used in the preparation of this paper on the brain of the mink (Mustela vison) is a part of the Huber Neurological Collection and consists of the brain of the mink cut serially in transverse sections and stained by the Huber modification of the toluidin blue method. The descriptions of each nuclear group are supplemented by reference to the pertinent literature. Photomicrographs ha...

The open-source toolbox "TopoToolbox" is a suite of functions that use sensor topography to calculate psychologically meaningful measures (similarity, magnitude, and timing) from multisensor event-related EEG and MEG data. Using a GUI and data visualization, TopoToolbox can be used to calculate and test the topographic similarity between different conditions (Tian and Huber, 2008). This topogra...

1. Background. Intuitive arguments drawn from quantum mechanics and optics suggest that there should be some relation between the closed geodesies (periodic "particles") on a compact Riemannian manifold X and the eigenvalues (periodic "waves") of the Laplace-Beltrami operator A^. Indeed, in 1959, Huber [8] proved, for X a surface of constant negative curvature, that the set of lengths of closed...

The concept of breakdown point was introduced by Hampel [Ph.D. dissertation (1968), Univ. California, Berkeley; Ann. Math. Statist. 42 (1971) 1887–1896] and developed further by, among others, Huber [Robust Statistics (1981). Wiley, New York] and Donoho and Huber [In A Festschrift for Erich L. Lehmann (1983) 157–184. Wadsworth, Belmont, CA]. It has proved most successful in the context of locat...

Large house price bubbles can be devastating for the real economy. Therefore, understanding the conditions under which large house price bubbles occur is fundamental. We shed new light on this issue in a laboratory setting. We find that endowing subjects with a lower preference for housing services creates larger experimental house price bubbles. This is in line with the theoretical model mecha...

Abstract—A robust sequential nonparametric method is proposed for adaptation to background noise parameters for real-time. The distribution of background noise was modelled like to Huber contamination mixture. The method is designed to operate as an adaptation-unit, which is included inside a detection subsystem of an integrated multichannel monitoring system. The proposed method guarantees the...

The flexible adaption of the transmission scheme to the current channel state becomes more and more a key issue in future communication systems. One efficient solution in multicarrier systems like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been proven to be adaptive modulation (AM) where the modulation scheme is selected on a subcarrier-basis or group of subcarriers. A lot of researc...

We analysed seven genetic markers sampled from 165 pholcids and 34 outgroups in order to test and improve the recently revised classification of the family. Our results are based on the largest and most comprehensive set of molecular data so far to study pholcid relationships. The data were analysed using parsimony, maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods for phylogenetic reconstruction. We sho...

Image restoration is an ill-posed problem that must be regularized in order to reduce noise amplification in the restored image. Although quadratic penalty terms allow for fast restoration algorithms based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), they often lead to images whose discontinuities are not well preserved. On the other hand, edge-preserving penalty terms can produce better results at the...

SENSE reconstruction suffers from an ill-conditioning problem, which increasingly lowers the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the reduction factor increases. Ill-conditioning also degrades the convergence behavior of iterative conjugate gradient reconstructions for arbitrary trajectories. Regularization techniques are often used to alleviate the ill-conditioning problem. Based on maximum a poster...
