Color is one of the most important visual variables in information visualization. In many cases, two-dimensional information can be color-coded based on a 2D color map. A variety of color maps as well as a number of quality criteria for the use of color have been presented. The choice of the best color map depends on the analytical task users intend to perform and the design space in choosing a...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

BACKGROUND Ankle-brachial-Index (ABI) measured by manual Dopplersonography is an easily assessable marker of global cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to establish novel photo-plethysmography (PPG)-based ABI assessments in an epidemiologic context and to compare its results with those of Doppler. METHODS Two devices for PPG-based ABI assessments (Vicorder, Vascular Explorer) were ...

Community retrieval (CR) algorithms, which enable the extraction of subgraphs from large social networks (e.g., Facebook and Twitter), have attracted tremendous interest. Various CR solutions, such as k-core and CODICIL, have been proposed to obtain graphs whose vertices are closely related. In this paper, we propose the C-Explorer system to assist users in extracting, visualizing, and analyzin...

The Oz Explorer [Sch97] is a visual constraint programming tool for Oz. Oz is a concurrent constraint language providing for functional, object-oriented, and constraint programming [Smo95]. It has a simple yet powerful computation model which extends the concurrent constraint model by first-class procedures, concurrent state and encapsulated search. The Explorer uses the search tree of a constr...

The Allen Brain Atlas is a repository of neuroanatomical data concerning the mouse brain. The core of the database is a Nissl-stained reference atlas of the brain accompanied by in situ hybridization data for essentially the entire mouse genome. This database is freely available at the Allen Institute for Brain Science website, as is an innovative tool to explore the database, the Brain Explore...
