Atypical "allergic crease" [PDF]
The allergic crease (nasal crease) is a transverse line, common among patients who suffer from allergic rhinitis. Although it is a very prevalent condition, the skin manifestations which accompany this condition have been only sparsely reported.We describe an 18-year-old man with allergic rhinitis, who developed cornified papules along an allergic ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Crease Enhancement Diffusion [PDF]
Summary: Ridge and valley structures are important image features, especially in oriented textures. Usually, the extraction of these structures requires a prefiltering step to regularize the source image. In this paper, we show that classical diffusion-based filters are not always appropriate for this task and propose a new filtering process.
