Congratulations Iain.March 2014: How far will the Panthers and Badgers go?WTMJ Radio 620 News Interviews Marquette Statistics Professor about NCAA Basketball TournamentProfessor Rowe's explains that the number of possible combinations for the NCAA 68 team brackets is over 147 quintillion (147x1018). His advice for those in an office pool: study the history. "You can significantly increase your odds by looking at historical data." The probability of a perfect bracket can be increased using seeding information and historical probabilities.

March 2013: What are your chances of filling out a perfect bracket?CBS 58 News Interviews Marquette Math Professor about NCAA Basketball TournamentProfessor Rowe Explains that the number of possible combinations for the NCAA 68 team brackets is over 147 quintillion. He further went on to describe how the probability of a perfect bracket can be increased using seeding information and historical probabilities. See the story at cbs58.com January 2012: What the future holds"With respect to BOLD fMRI, models have been proposed that predict task-related phase changes (Rowe, 2005; Zhao et al., 2007; Feng et al., 2009) andsuggest more information on physiological processes in phase than in magnitude (Petridou et al., 2009). If changes in susceptibility can be measured reliably based on GRE-EPI data, it will become possible to predict changes in blood susceptibility not only in single, large macro vessels (Sedlacik et al., 2007), but also in regions containing randomly orientated blood vessels. Future avenues of QSM will also certainly encompass applications to tissues and organs other than the brain (e.g., abdominal or breast imaging),which will have clinical implications and will open possibilities for future research." -Jurgen Reichenbach, The future of susceptibility contrast for assessment of anatomy and function.
