We present a framework for visualizing large tabular data that combines two views: the table view and the treemap view. The table view extends the known table lens as follows: We cluster related elements to reduce subsampling artifacts and achieve table size independent rendering time; we use multiple-column sorting to create scenariospecific data hierarchies on the fly; and we use shaded cushi...

An automatic road sign recognition system locates road sign of interest within images captured by an imaging sensor on-board of a vehicle, and then identifies road signs assisting the driver of the vehicle to properly operate the vehicle. This paper presents a real-time road sign recognition system that can be used to improve road safety. The developed system is capable of analysing live road s...

We conceptualize colleges and universities as embedded in quasi-markets, meaning competitive sites created by policy, that disfavor the humanities. We therefore posit that increased revenues from a quasi-market predict institutional de-emphasis of the humanities. Results indicate that private colleges and universities follow this pattern while public institutions do not. Manuscript

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) form a large functional family of small noncoding RNAs and play an important role as posttranscriptional regulators, by repressing the translation of mRNAs. Recently, the processing mechanism of miRNAs has been reported to involve Drosha/DGCR8 complex and Dicer, however, the exact mechanism and molecular principle are still unknown. We thus have tried to understand the relate...

fuzzy linear programming models and methods has been one ofthe most and well studied topics inside the broad area of soft computing. itsapplications as well as practical realizations can be found in all the real worldareas. in this paper a basic introduction to the main models and methods infuzzy mathematical programming, with special emphasis on those developedby the authors, is presented. as ...

The entity of "neurogenic hypertension" is defined as arterial hypertension caused explicitly by derangement of the intricate network of the central nervous system. Among 193 cases of cranial rhizopathies operated on between 1984 and 1995 at this center, 5 cases of established arterial hypertension with concomitant rhizopathies also underwent ventrolateral medullary decompression. The elev...
