The manuscript ‘How will organic carbon stocks in mineral soils evolve under future climate? Global projections using RothC for a range of climate change scenarios’ by Gottschalk et al. describes the outcomes of an extensive modelling approach to predict global soil C stocks by end of this century. The authors used a variety of climate predictions and coupled these scenarios with projections of...

We study the local region-of-interest (ROI) reconstruction problem, also referred to as the local CT problem. Our scheme includes two steps: (a) the local truncated normal-dose projections are extended to global dataset by combining a few global low-dose projections; (b) the ROI are reconstructed by either the generalized filtered backprojection (FBP) or backprojection-filtration (BPF) algorith...

We introduce an extension of the n-ary description logic DLR to deal with attribute-labelled tuples (generalising the positional notation), with arbitrary projections of relations (inclusion dependencies), generic functional dependencies and with global and local objectification (reifying relations or their projections). We show how a simple syntactic condition on the appearance of projections ...

Compressive sensing (CS)-based interior tomography is a state-of-the-art method for accurate image reconstruction from only locally truncated projections. Here, we report our preliminary interior tomography results reconstructed from raw projections of a patient acquired on a GE Discovery CT750 HD scanner. This is the first clinical application of the CS-based interior reconstruction techniques...

Support Feature Machines (SFM) define useful features derived from similarity to support vectors (kernel transformations), global projections (linear or perceptron-style) and localized projections. Explicit construction of extended feature spaces enables control over selection of features, complexity control and allows final analysis by any classification method. Additionally projections of hig...

A review of the present status of the global warming science is presented in this paper. The term global warming is now popularly used to refer to the recent reported increase in the mean surface temperature of the earth; this increase being attributed to increasing human activity and in particular to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) in...
