Designing multimodal visualizations combining anatomical and functional brain data is a demanding task. Jainek et al. [1] applied illustrative rendering techniques to obtain a high-quality representation of the location and characteristic of brain activation areas (derived from MRI and fMRI). Here, we present the integration of DTI data into this system. Reconstructed nerve fibers connecting functional areas with each other and lower brain areas are embedded into the complex rendering pipeline. Further, we enhanced perception of depth and shape by applying silhouettes and dithered halftoning.
We present a highly adaptive hierarchical representation of the topology of functions defined over two-manifold domains. Guided by the theory of Morse–Smale complexes, we encode dependencies between cancellations of ...

Highly sensitive and precise X‐ray imaging from Chandra, combined with the superb spatial resolution of HST optical images, dramatically enhances our empirical understanding of compact binaries such as cataclysmic variables and low mass X‐ray binaries, their progeny, and other stellar X‐ray source populations deep into the cores of globular clusters. Our Chandra X‐ray images of the globular cluster NGC 362 reveal 100 X‐ray sources, the bulk of which are likely cluster members. Using HST color‐magnitude and color‐color diagrams, we quantitatively consider the optical content of the NGC 362 Chandra X‐ray error circles, especially to assess and identify the compact binary population in this condensed‐core globular cluster. Despite residual significant crowding in both X‐rays and optical, we identify an excess population of Hα‐emitting objects that is statistically associated with the Chandra X‐ray sources. The X‐ray and optical characteristics suggest that these are mainly cataclysmic variables, but we also identify a candidate quiescent low mass X‐ray binary. A potentially interesting and largely unanticipated use of observations such as these may be to help constrain the macroscopic dynamic state of globular clusters.
We present two algorithms for data compression and occlusion culling that improve interactive, adaptive isosurface extraction from large volume datasets. Our algorithm, based on hierarchical tetrahedral meshes defined...

USPEX is a crystal structure predictor based on an evolutionary algorithm. Every USPEX run produces hundreds or thousands of crystal structures, some of which may be identical. To case the extraction of unique and potentially interesting structures we applied usual high-dimensional classification concepts to the unusual field of crystallography. We experimented with various crystal structure descriptors, distinct distance measures and tried different clustering methods to identify groups of similar structures. These methods are already applied in combinatorial chemistry to organic molecules for a different coal and in somewhat different forms, but are not widely used for crystal structures classification. We adopted a visual design and validation method in the development of a library (CrystalFp) and an end-user application to select and validate method choices, to gain users' acceptance and to tap into their domain expertise. The use of the classifier has already accelerated the analysis of USPEX output by at least one order of magnitude, promoting some new crystallographic insight and discovery. Furthermore the Visual display of key algorithm indicators has led to diverse, unexpected discoveries that will improve the USPEX algorithms.
We present a novel approach for the direct computation of integral surfaces in time-dependent vector fields. As opposed to previous work, which we analyze in detail, our approach is based on a separation of integral s...

Interval arithmetic was introduced by Ramon Moore [Moo66] in the 1960s as an approach to bound rounding errors in mathematical computation. The theory of interval analysis emerged considering the computation of both the exact solution and the error term as a single entity, i.e. the interval. Though a simple idea, it is a very powerful technique with numerous applications in mathematics, computer science, and engineering. In this survey we discuss the basic concepts of interval arithmetic and some of its extensions, and review successful applications of this theory in particular in computer science.
