Introduction Research on wine tourism, both supply and demand sides, has been expanding rapidly (Carlsen & Charters, 2006). Within the literature on demand for wine and wine tourism, generational (age) differences relating to wine consumption and tourism have emerged as an important issue. This is partly because older consumers and tourists have obviously been dominant, but both wine and touris...

We present a geometric model of image formation in Scheimpflug cameras that is most general. Scheimpflug imaging is commonly used is scientific and medical imaging either to increase the depth of field of the imager or to focus on tilted object surfaces. Existing Scheimpflug imaging models do not take into account the effect of pupil magnification (i.e. the ratio of the exit pupil diameter to t...

Biomedical imaging technology has become an important tool for medical research and clinical practice. A large amount of imaging data is generated and collected every day. Managing and analyzing these data sets require the corresponding development of the computer based algorithms for automatic processing. Histology image classification is one of the important tasks in the bio-image informatics...

This paper describes Vista, a visual multiparadigm programming environment. We introduce the notion of processors and networks and discuss their application in the construction of event-driven and data-transformation systems. Further, we give an overview of Vista's object-oriented architecture.

In this paper we describe multivariate statistical visualization techniques designed to improve the quality, accuracy and satisfaction of the statistical data analysis process. We describe techniques for visualizing multivariate data structure, for visualizing multivariate data models, and for visualizing multivariate data analysis sessions. We illustrate these techniques with ViSta, our statis...
