Screening for hypertension by volunteers in a middle-class community.

Journal of human hypertension

Westerman RF, Tesselaar HJ, Donker AJ.
PMID: 2258866
J Hum Hypertens. 1990 Aug;4(4):330-3.

Screening for hypertension in citizens 30-69 years of age by trained volunteers was initiated by the community of a middle-class town in Holland. At the same time counselling on cardiovascular risk factors was offered to the public. The campaign...

Visualizing Confidence in Cluster-Based Ensemble Weather Forecast Analyses.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics

Kumpf A, Tost B, Baumgart M, Riemer M, Westermann R, Rautenhaus M.
PMID: 28866576
IEEE Trans Vis Comput Graph. 2018 Jan;24(1):109-119. doi: 10.1109/TVCG.2017.2745178. Epub 2017 Aug 29.

In meteorology, cluster analysis is frequently used to determine representative trends in ensemble weather predictions in a selected spatio-temporal region, e.g., to reduce a set of ensemble members to simplify and improve their analysis. Identified clusters (i.e., groups of...

Multi-Charts for Comparative 3D Ensemble Visualization.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics

Demir I, Dick C, Westermann R.
PMID: 26356983
IEEE Trans Vis Comput Graph. 2014 Dec;20(12):2694-703. doi: 10.1109/TVCG.2014.2346448.

A comparative visualization of multiple volume data sets is challenging due to the inherent occlusion effects, yet it is important to effectively reveal uncertainties, correlations and reliable trends in 3D ensemble fields. In this paper we present bidirectional linking...

The Developmental Dynamics of Joining a Gang in Adolescence: Patterns and Predictors of Gang Membership.

Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence

Gilman AB, Hill KG, Hawkins JD, Howell JC, Kosterman R.
PMID: 24882999
J Res Adolesc. 2014 Jun 01;24(2):204-219. doi: 10.1111/jora.12121.

Researchers have examined the predictors of adolescent gang membership, finding significant factors in the neighborhood, family, school, peers, and individual domains. However, little is known about whether risk and protective factors differ in predictive salience at different developmental periods....

Single-substrate liquid-crystal displays by photo-enforced stratification.

Nature

Penterman R, Klink SI, de Koning H, Nisato G, Broer DJ.
PMID: 11986663
Nature. 2002 May 02;417(6884):55-8. doi: 10.1038/417055a.

Data visualization plays a crucial role in our society, as illustrated by the many displays that surround us. In the future, displays may become even more pervasive, ranging from individually addressable image-rendering wall hangings to data displays integrated in...

Interactive streak surface visualization on the GPU.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics

Bürger K, Ferstl F, Theisel H, Westermann R.
PMID: 19834197
IEEE Trans Vis Comput Graph. 2009 Nov-Dec;15(6):1259-66. doi: 10.1109/TVCG.2009.154.

In this paper we present techniques for the visualization of unsteady flows using streak surfaces, which allow for the first time an adaptive integration and rendering of such surfaces in real-time. The techniques consist of two main components, which...

Alcohol Use Disorders and Depression: Protective Factors in the Development of Unique Versus Comorbid Outcomes.

Journal of child & adolescent substance abuse

Mason WA, Hawkins JD, Kosterman R, Catalano RF.
PMID: 21031140
J Child Adolesc Subst Abuse. 2010;19(4):309-323. doi: 10.1080/1067828X.2010.502491.

Protective factors for young adult alcohol use disorders, depression, and comorbid alcohol use disorders and depression were examined. Participants were recruited from all fifth-grade students attending 18 Seattle elementary schools. Of the 1,053 students eligible, 808 (77%) agreed to...

Modeling the Etiology of Adolescent Substance Use: A Test of the Social Development Model.

Journal of drug issues

Catalano RF, Kosterman R, Hawkins JD, Newcomb MD, Abbott RD.
PMID: 17848978
J Drug Issues. 1996;26(2):429-455. doi: 10.1177/002204269602600207.

The social development model is a general theory of human behavior that seeks to explain antisocial behaviors through specification of predictive developmental relationships. It incorporates the effects of empirical predictors ("risk factors" and "protective factors") for antisocial behavior and...

A Hexahedral Multigrid Approach for Simulating Cuts in Deformable Objects.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics

Dick C, Georgii J, Westermann R.
PMID: 21173453
IEEE Trans Vis Comput Graph. 2011 Nov;17(11):1663-75. doi: 10.1109/TVCG.2010.268. Epub 2010 Dec 23.

We present a hexahedral finite element method for simulating cuts in deformable bodies using the corotational formulation of strain at high computational efficiency. Key to our approach is a novel embedding of adaptive element refinements and topological changes of...

A survey of medical image registration on graphics hardware.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine

Fluck O, Vetter C, Wein W, Kamen A, Preim B, Westermann R.
PMID: 21112118
Comput Methods Programs Biomed. 2011 Dec;104(3):e45-57. doi: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2010.10.009. Epub 2010 Nov 26.

The rapidly increasing performance of graphics processors, improving programming support and excellent performance-price ratio make graphics processing units (GPUs) a good option for a variety of computationally intensive tasks. Within this survey, we give an overview of GPU accelerated...
