To improve existing weather prediction and reanalysis capabilities, high-resolution and multi-modal climate data becomes an increasingly important topic. The advent of increasingly dense numerical simulation of atmospheric phenomena, provides new means to better understand dynamic processes and to visualize structural flow patterns that remain hidden otherwise. In the presented illustrations we demonstrate an advanced technique to visualize multiple scales of dense flow fields and Lagrangian patterns therein, simulated by state-of-the-art simulation models for each scale. They provide a deeper insight into the structural differences and patterns that occur on each scale and highlight the complexity of flow phenomena in our atmosphere.

Probabilistic Marching Cubes
(2011)
Radiologists from all application areas are trained to read slice-based visualizations of 3D medical image data. Despite the numerous
examples of sophisticated three-dimensional renderings, especially all variants of direct volume rendering, such methods are
often considered not very useful by radiologists who prefer slice-based visualization. Just recently there have been attempts to bridge this
gap between 2D and 3D renderings. These attempts include specialized techniques for volume picking that result in repositioning slices.
In this paper, we present a new volume picking technique that, in contrast to previous work, does not require pre-segmented data or metadata. The positions picked by our method are solely based on the data itself, the transfer function and,
most importantly, on the way the volumetric rendering is perceived by viewers. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method
we apply it for automatically
repositioning slices in an abdominal MRI
scan, a data set from a flow simulation and a number of other volumetric scalar fields. Furthermore we discuss how the method can be implemented in combination with various different volumetric rendering techniques.
The goal of visualization is to effectively and accurately communicate data. Visualization research has often overlooked the errors and uncertainty which accompany the scientific process and describe key characteristics used to fully understand the data. The lack of these representations can be attributed, in part, to the inherent difficulty in defining, characterizing, and controlling this uncertainty, and in part, to the difficulty in including additional visual metaphors in a well designed, potent display. However, the exclusion of this information cripples the use of visualization as a decision making tool due to the fact that the display is no longer a true representation of the data. This systematic omission of uncertainty commands fundamental research within the visualization community to address, integrate, and expect uncertainty information. In this chapter, we outline sources and models of uncertainty, give an overview of the state-of-the-art, provide general guidelines, outline small exemplary applications, and finally, discuss open problems in uncertainty visualization.
Intakte Gelenke sind eine Voraussetzung für das Funktionieren des Skeletts und die Mobilität im Lebensalltag. Ein gesunder Bewegungsapparat ist die Grundlage für die Funktionsfähigkeit des Herz-Kreislauf-Systems wie auch der Immunabwehr. Bewegungs- und Physiotherapie sowie verschiedene Formen der Patientenaktivität stellen essenzielle klinische Ansätze in der Behandlung von neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen, Schlaganfall, Diabetes und Krebs dar. Kommt es zu degenerativen Veränderungen von Gelenken, bedeutet dies eine wesentliche Beeinträchtigung der Mobilität. Nächtliche Schmerzen und Schlafstörungen treten in fortgeschrittenen Stadien auf und sind besonders belastend. Arthrose wird auch als degenerative Gelenkerkrankung bezeichnet. Sie geht mit Veränderungen in der Struktur und Zusammensetzung des Gelenkknorpels wie auch des verkalkten Knorpels, der subchondralen Kortikalis, der subchondralen Spongiosa, des Meniskus, der Gelenkkapsel und der Synovialis einher, was schließlich zur Degeneration dieser Gewebe führt, aus denen sich die Synovialgelenke zusammensetzen.
Intact joints are necessary for skeletal function and mobility in daily life. A healthy musculoskeletal system is the basis for a functional cardiovascular
system as well as an intact immune system. Locomotion, physiotherapy, and various forms of patient activity are essential clinical therapies used in the treatment of neurodegeneration, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Mobility is substantially impaired with degeneration of joints and, in advanced stages, nighttime pain and sleep disturbance are particularly cumbersome.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is also known as degenerative joint disease. OA involves structural and compositional changes in the articular cartilage, as well as in the calcified cartilage, subchondral cortical bone, subchondral cancellous bone, meniscus, joint capsular tissue, and synovium; which eventually lead to degeneration of these tissues comprising synovial joints.
