ISBD: Aid or Barrier to Understanding?

Movement as an Aid to Understanding Graphs

This paper describes a graph visualization method that attempts to aid the understanding of graphs by adding continuous local movement to graph diagrams. The paper includes a discussion of some of the many different kinds of potential graph movement and then describes an empirical trial that was conducted to investigate whether one kind of movement helps with a particular graph comprehension ta...

Understanding the Reasons for Sharing Syringes or Needles to Inject Drugs: Conventional Content Analysis

ISBD adaptation to SW of bibliographic data in linked data

Linked data is the current paradigm. All works, projects and applicationshave it as main tool, because of its potentiality. In linking data, the selected infor-mation, authorized, validated, recorded and structured in their databases for longtime by cultural institutions as libraries, necessarily is going to play an importantrole. The work carried out by IFLA ISBD Review Group h...

Understanding the Optics to Aid Microscopy Image Segmentation

Image segmentation is essential for many automated microscopy image analysis systems. Rather than treating microscopy images as general natural images and rushing into the image processing warehouse for solutions, we propose to study a microscope's optical properties to model its image formation process first using phase contrast microscopy as an exemplar. It turns out that the phase contrast i...

Understanding British Aid to Africa: A Historical Perspective*

The volume of direct British aid to Africa is constrained by the substantial level of its contributions to multilateral programmes (including those of the EU). The multilateral agencies, of course, also provide large volumes of aid to Sub-Saharan Africa, of which the UK finances its share, but the following discussion is restricted to the bilateral element in British aid to Africa. The share of...
