We have used surface-based atlases of the cerebral cortex to analyze the functional organization of visual cortex in humans and macaque monkeys. The macaque atlas contains multiple partitioning schemes for visual cortex, including a probabilistic atlas of visual areas derived from a recent architectonic study, plus summary schemes that reflect a combination of physiological and anatomical evide...

Shortly after its introduction in 1985, procedural solid texturing became a must-have tool in the production-quality graphics of the motion-picture industry. Now, over fifteen years later, we are finally able to provide this feature for the real-time consumer graphics used in videogames and virtual environments. A texture atlas is used to create a 2-D texture map of the 3-D solid texture coordi...

We are continuing our series of studies regarding the maps Roman Dacia with this short note representation in Barrington Atlas Greek and world . Edited by Richard J.A. Talbert, atlas was published 2000 a large format, containing 175 pages 102 full-color maps. The work contains Map-by-Map Directory, available online. This is fact an index which provides information about each place (settlement, ...

A mid-infrared atlas of the Galactic Plane (MIGA) has been constructed to provide a mid-infrared data set for the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, a Canadian-lead international project to map all of the major components of the interstellar medium of the Milky Way at a common resolution of approximately 1 ′. The atlas is based on HIRES processing of IRAS 12 and 25 µm data. Details of the MIGA pro...

Atlas-based analysis methods rely on the morphological similarity between the atlas and target images, and on the availability of labelled images. Problems can arise when the deformations introduced by pathologies affect the similarity between the atlas and a patient's image. The aim of this work is to exploit the morphological dissimilarities between atlas databases and pathological images to ...

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 ...

Iran has great potential in utilizing solar energy. In order to maximize the amount of absorbed solar radiation to absorber surfaces, the surfaces should be installed at a suitable angle slope to the horizon that is discussed in this article. The calculations performed in this study was done using MATLAB software. In this study, radiation received on the ground in 31 provincial capitals of the ...

The purpose of this study was to develop a consensus-based computed tomographic (CT) atlas that defines lymph node stations in radiotherapy for lung cancer based on the lymph node map of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). A project group in the Japanese Radiation Oncology Study Group (JROSG) initially prepared a draft of the atlas in which lymph node Stations 1-...
