The authors are most grateful to Colin Hubbard for his interest and input throughout the preparation of this chapter, and his invaluable assistance in polishing and submitting the manuscript. We also record our appreciation of the enthusiasm and encouragement of Jonathan Crowe, of Oxford University Press, in relation to a parallel project without which the present review would not have been possible.

Fig. 13.4 Blue CM/Pf-striatum-GPi-CM/Pf a positive FB loop and red CM/Pf-STN-GPi-CM/Pf a negative FB loop. Somatotopically organized parallel projections form closed loops (vertical, in black) between the motor cortex, the basal ganglia and the motor cortex. These loops signal movement preparation and execution. Concomitantly feedback (horizontal) loops stabilize basal ganglia activity. (From [50] with permission)...

Who made up the Temperance Movement It was run by Jane Addams, who studied the Fabian Society s London settlement house Toynbee Hall experiment and came to the United States to launch a parallel project which later produced the University of Chicago. (4) The "cadre" were drawn almost exclusively from three pools 1) the settlement house and suffragette networks run by Addams and the Russell Sage Foundation 2) the proterrorist synthetic religious cults operated out of Oberlin College in Ohio and 3) the Ku Klux Klan in the South. 

Plans for sequencing the complete genome of this important ascomycete human pathogen were announced in early 2000 [14]. The sequencing project is a joint effort of the University of Manchester, the Sanger Centre and the Institut Pasteur. Details about the current progress of this project can be found at their website http //www.aspergillus.man.ac.uk. A parallel project is under way at the...

A double crankshaft chain (consisting of 2-fold-connected double 4-rings), and 3-fold-connected double 6-rings are indicated in bold. Reproduced from www.iza-structure.org...

In addition, there are some further books on projects either being a predecessor project, as [201, 334, 352], or being parallel projects [51, 277] with a more or less close connection to IMPROVE. 

A sinogram is a (a) hie containing individual annihilation events, (b) a matrix of parallel projection data, (c) a matrix of fan beam projection data, and (d) reconstructed image. 

The filtered backprojection can be applied to 3D image reconstruction with some manipulations. The 3D data sinograms are considered to consist of a set of 2D parallel projections, and the FBP is applied to these projections by the Fourier method. The iteration methods also can be generally applied to the 3D data. However, the complexity, large volume, and incomplete sampling of the data due to the finite axial length of the scanner are some of the factors that limit the use of the FBP and iterative methods directly in 3D reconstruction. To circumvent these difficulties, a modified method of handling 3D data is commonly used, which is described below. 

The coordinate system in which this metric is expressed is obtained by parallel projection along the a 4-axis in R". Topologically, this space-time could be seen as a 4-dimensional cylinder in Minkowskian R . 

As before, parallel projection along Xq leads to the metric ... 

Non-axis-parallel projection methods use a (linear/nonUnear) combination of two or more dimensions for an axis of the projection plane. Principal-component analysis is a well-established technique in this category. 

Axis-parallel projection methods use existing dimensions as axes of the projection plane. One of the existing dimensions is selected as the horizontal axis, and another as the vertical axis, to make a familiar and comprehensible presentation. Sometimes, other dimensions can be mapped as color, size, length, angle, and so on. 

These automatic projection pursuit methods using a series of low-dimensional projections have made impressive gains in the problem of multidimensional data analysis, but they have limitations. One of the most important problems is the difficulty in interpreting the solutions from the automatic projection pursuit. Since the axes are the linear/nonlinear combination of the variables (or dimensions) of the original data, it is hard to determine what the projection actually means to users. Conversely, this is one of the reasons that axis-parallel projections (projection methods in category 2) are used in many multidimensional analysis tools (Guo, 2003 Ward, 1994). 

Projection methods in category 2, axis-parallel projection methods, have been used by researchers in machine learning, data mining, and informalion visualization. In this category, 2D projections (visualized in scatterplots ) arc made by choosing one dimension for the xr-axis and another dimension for the y-axis. 

This is a line integral affix, y) and the quantity P r) is called the radon transform or the projection of fix, y) along the ray path. It is important to note that the process of reconstructing slices of objects fixim their projections is simply that of inverting Eq. (26.56). A projection is formed by combining a set of line integrals Pjir), the simplest one being a collection of parallel ray paths with constant d. This is known as a parallel projection (Fig. 26.15).

This is the Fourier slice theorem, which states that the Fourier transform of a parallel projection of an object taken at angle 0 to the a axis in physical space is equivalent to a slice of the two-dimensional transform F(u, v) of the object function f(x, y), inclined at an angle 0 to the u axis in frequency space (Fig. 26.16). 

If a parallel projection were impressed upon this geometry, the ray SA defined by (r, 9) would belong to the one-dimensional image Pfr). The relationship between the parallel-beam and fan-beam cases is given by... 

The use of parallel projection rays implies that the virtual point of view is far from the reconstructed object. In some applications, such as virtual endoscopy, this simplified hypothesis does not hold, and a more complex perspective projection should be used.
