Illustrative techniques are a new and exciting direction in visualization research. Traditional techniques which have been used by scientific illustrators for centuries are re-examined under the light of modern computer technology. In this paper, we discuss the use of the focus+context concept for the illustrative visualization of volumetric data. We give an overview of the state-ofthe-art and ...

In recent years, there is an emerging direction that leverages information theory to solve many challenging problems in scientific data analysis and visualization. In this article, we review the key concepts in information theory, discuss how the principles of information theory can be useful for visualization, and provide specific examples to draw connections between data communication and dat...

In the past nearly 30 years the information visualization field has produced many robust solutions and approaches and is still an ongoing research area. However still many open problems exist and new research challenges appear. In this paper we discuss the possibilities for interaction with software visualizations in virtual and augmented reality that strive to make the software more tangible.

We extend our previous work on the exploration of static metabolic networks to evolving, and therefore dynamic, pathways. We apply our visualization software to data from a simulation of early metabolism. Thereby, we show that our technique allows us to test and argue for or against different scenarios for the evolution of metabolic pathways. This supports a profound and efficient analysis of t...

In this paper we discuss the mechanisms that have been used to deal with the dynamic nature of data in the CyberNet project. The purpose of this project is to study how three-dimensional (3D) metaphoric visualization may help the user in the process of monitoring large amounts of dynamic information. We present the dynamic data model and the visualization model and then focus on the problem of ...

We present Lyra, an interactive environment for designing customized visualizations without writing code. Using drag-and-drop interactions, designers can bind data to the properties of graphical marks to author expressive visualization designs. Marks can be moved, rotated and resized using handles; relatively positioned using connectors; and parameterized by data fields using property drop zone...

In this paper, we establish the concept of knowledge visualization and review the state-of-theart in this emergent domain. We define the concept and differentiate it from information visualization. We describe select background disciplines and potential application fields. Various knowledge visualization types are distinguished and examples of their real-life application are provided and discus...

Within the framework of the information retrieval, the restitution of the documents is carried out according to their calculated relevance score. They correspond to a precise request. However questions arise as for the representation of documents and requests like their mapping. The graph is used as data visualization, without requiring mathematical knowledge. This article presents the contribu...

conclusions the tmd, with a cut-off point of 65 mm, had superior diagnostic value compared with the hmdr and mallampati score. therefore, the tmd could be used in malay patients to predict the difficulty of larynx visualization during laryngoscopy. results difficulty in visualizing the larynx was found in 28 (10.1%) patients. the auc, sensitivity, and specificity for the three airway predictors...

Background: mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is a common practice before laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries but the role and efficacy of preparation have been questioned. this study assesses visualization and bowel handling in a group of patients who receive MBP and the control group and thereafter; compares the results. Methods: We designed and conducted this randomized, single-blinded and ...
