This paper discusses the design of web-map for navigation purpose. First of all, it provides an overview of the development of maps (from paper to web) and then some thought on the design of web maps for navigation purpose. It has been found that the functions of maps have changed from “display and storage” to “display and exploration” and “storage and linking”. The variables for visual present...

SUMMARY Orthostrapper is a program that calculates orthology support values for pairs of sequences in a multiple alignment (Storm and Sonnhammer, Bioinformatics, 18, 92-99, 2002). Here we present OrthoGUI, a web interface and display tool for Orthostrapper analysis. OrthoGUI visualizes the Orthostrapper output in both tabular and tree representations, and can also apply a clustering algorithm t...

An integral imaging system is employed as part of a three dimensional imaging system, allowing display of full colour images with continuous parallax within a wide viewing zone. A novel approach to the problem of compressing the significant quantity of data required to represent integral 3D video is presented and it is shown that the reduction in bit cost achieved makes possible transmission vi...

The current study investigated visual guidance and saccadic selectivity during visual search among patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). Data from a previous study (Elahipanah, A., Christensen, B.K., & Reingold, E.M., 2008. Visual selective attention among persons with schizophrenia: The distractor ratio effect. Schizophr. Res. 105, 61-67.) suggested that visual guidance for the less frequent dist...

Most studies investigating the function and evolution of ornaments have focused on males. Variation in ornaments may also reflect individual quality and convey information in females. We examined correlations between female plumage colour and reproductive variables in the sexually dichromatic songbird, the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla (L., 1758)). Female American Redstarts display yel...

statement of problem: the effect of mouth washes on discolouration of dental ceramics with different surface preparations is not well documented. objectives: this in-vitro study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine (chx) mouth rinse on colour stability of overglazed (op), autoglazed, (ap) or polished porcelain (pop) specimens. materials and methods: the restorative materia...

The plasma addressed liquid crystal display (PLAC) is a flat, large area, full-colour television and monitor technology made possible through the unique application of the properties of an ionized gas. Liquid crystal displays require an active switching element at the location of each pixel. The PALC display uses a plasma switch to address each of the display pixels, replacing typically used se...

This article provides a sociophonetic analysis of General South African English /l/, based on the naturalistic speech 50 male and female L1-speakers this variety (SAfE), all from Cape Town ranging 18-82 years age. Emphasis falls testing descriptions provided by impressionistic literature so-called ‘colour’ two main allophones phoneme i.e. those in initial final positions; determining whether th...

The breast-plate plumage of male Lawes' parotia (Parotia lawesii) produces dramatic colour changes when this bird of paradise displays on its forest-floor lek. We show that this effect is achieved not solely by the iridescence--that is an angular-dependent spectral shift of the reflected light--which is inherent in structural coloration, but is based on a unique anatomical modification of the b...
