In a recent book I reviewed the development of social network analysis from its earliest beginnings until the late 1990s (Freeman, 2004). There I characterized social network analysis as an approach that involves four defining properties: (1) It involves the intuition that links among social actors are important. (2) It is based on the collection and analysis of data that record social relation...

An experimental technique is described for eliciting a subjective evaluation of the prosody of synthetic speech by untrained listeners. The technique makes use of a graphic display time-aligned with the speech signal. Subjects are asked to indicate which parts of a recording are unsatisfactory by clicking on a computer screen with a mouse. The technique was applied to two TTS systems for French...

A system has been constructed by which we can design recognition logics by trial & error, exchanging information with a computer. If the extracted features fit the experience of a man as regards his recognition of characters the system is useful, because it displays the intuitive information corresponding to demand, permits us to revise the logics on-line, and evaluates the logics immediately. ...

Modern data visualizations are developed as interactive and intuitive graphic applications. In the development process, programmers basically pursue the same goal: creating an application with a great performance. Such applications have to display information at its best way in every possible situation. In this paper, we present a performance comparison on mobile devices between D3.js and Unity...

Recent studies show the sinusoidal projection to be a superior planar projection for representing global raster datasets. This study uses the sinusoidal projection as a basis for evaluating pixel loss and replication in eight other planar map projections. The percent of pixels represented accurately as a single pixel when projected from the sinusoidal to one of the other projections ranged from...

We are proposing a supervised learning approach in robot force control which enables robot programming by demonstration through an operator. The learning element of the controller is based on a neural network prestructured to represent knowledge in terms of rules. Tasks are demonstrated in a virtual environment. Visual feedback using sensor ball devices and graphic display of forces as well as ...

It is apparent that music and language reading are both perceptual acts. To read either language or music one obviously must pay close attention to selective details of a graphic display. To listen to music or to words read aloud also involves some common perceptual abilities. Therefore, it is predictable that some have claimed that children’s experiences with music will help them to learn to r...

The design of electromagnetic systems must take into account the spatial distribution-of magnetic flux density. The conjuction of field computation and C.A.D. t echniques lead to in te rac t ivecomputer aided design systems like FLUX, based on the finite elements method. By graphic display, the designer check his data and prepare the finitt elements mesh. The post-processor allows him to get th...

The MIND system is a single computer program incorporating an extensible set of fundamental linguistic processors that can be combined on command to carry out a great variety of tasks from grammar testing to question-answering and language translation. The program is controlled from a graphic display console from which the user can specify the sequence of operations, modify rules, edit texts an...

In a previous paper [1] the use of graphs in research papers was discussed. Tufte, [2] listed the data presentation choices as, the sentence, the table and the graphic, in this paper guidance on the preparation and presentation of table will be described. The purpose of a table is to display numerical information for the reader’s evaluation. However, if you have ever struggled with the layout o...
