XBrain is an application that facilitates data exchange by dynamically publishing relational data over the web in XML format. In the current work we further enhanced its functionality through automatic query generation to aid the human users. We also extended its visualization tools by developing them into generalized XML visualization web services.

Background Vessel wall inflammation plays a key role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, from endothelial injury to remodeling and plaque formation. Cardiovascular (CV) magnetic resonance (CMR) provides noninvasive visualization and characterization of arterial remodeling both in the great vessels, and also the coronary arteries. Contrast-enhanced inversion-recovery (CEIR) pre...

functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) has become the most popular method for imaging of brain functions. currently, there is a large variety of software packages for the analysis of fmri data, each providing many features for users. since there is no single package that can provide all the necessary analyses for the fmri data, it is helpful to know the features of each software package. ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the frequency of visualization, thickness and location of the normal appendix at non-enhanced spiral computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Low-dose spiral CT scans obtained for renal colic assessment in 243 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The frequency of visualization, thickness and location of normal appendices were recorded without knowledge of the pat...

Information visualizations must often be custom programmed to support complex user tasks and database schemas. This is an expensive and time consuming effort, even when general-purpose visualizations are utilized within the solution. This research introduces the Snap visualization server and system architecture that addresses limitations of previous Snap-Together Visualization research and sati...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to visualize the scientific structure of multiple sclerosis (ms) during 1999-2008 and to use scientometric indicators for analysis of ms-related scientific publications indexed in web of science database. methods: this survey tried to visualize data as a scientometric method. a total number of 17737 ms-related articles published during 1999-2008 were ...

ontology is a requirement engineering product and the key to knowledge discovery. it includes the terminology to describe a set of facts, assumptions, and relations with which the detailed meanings of vocabularies among communities can be determined. this is a qualitative content analysis research. this study has made use of ontology for the first time to discover the knowledge of vaccine in ir...

The aluminum smelting industry is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases. In addition to the emission CO 2 during normal operation, perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are generated when Al O 3 concentration in electrolyte falls below certain critical level, phenomenon referred as anode effect . Understanding mechanism formation has become essential mitigating or preventing its occurrence. Here, occurri...

Co-thought gestures are hand movements produced in silent, noncommunicative, problem-solving situations. In the study, we investigated whether and how such gestures enhance performance in spatial visualization tasks such as a mental rotation task and a paper folding task. We found that participants gestured more often when they had difficulties solving mental rotation problems (Experiment 1). T...
