In this work, we present the visualization of the internal flows in a drying sessile polymer dispersion drop on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces with Spectral Radar Optical Coherence Tomography (SR-OCT). We have found that surface features such as the initial contact angle and pinning of the contact line, play a crucial role on the flow direction and final shape of the dried drop. Moreover,...

Exploring and analyzing oceanographic sonar data is a difficult task due to the extreme ratios in the dimensions of the data. While sonar data may consist of many hundreds of thousands of sonar pings coving hundreds of kilometres, the ocean depth of the data is at a much lower resolution. As a result, visual representations of the sonar data (echograms) are normally shown as long and narrow rib...

• Consists of descriptions of: – components, connectors, rationale/constraints, ... • Shows high-level structure – Composition and decomposition, horizontal layers and vertical slices • Reflects major design decisions – Rationale for why one approach taken, what impact it has • Promotes shared mental model among developers and other stakeholders – Shows how functional and non-functional require...

The emergence of functional lateral interactions in ferret visual cortex was monitored using high speed optical imaging of voltage-sensitive dye signals in brain slices. Prior to the time of eye opening, lateral activation was restricted to a narrow columnar region. During the week following eye opening, the extent of lateral propagation of activity more than doubled. Selective interruption of ...

AIMS Proper examination and accurate reporting of radical prostatectomy specimens (RPS) is essential in determining post-surgical treatment and predicting patient outcome. Surveys have demonstrated the absence of consensus on handling of RPS. The aim of this study was to determine whether significant information is lost when only half the horizontal tissue sections are examined. METHODS AND R...

The visualization of a computerized tomographic (TC) exam in 3D increases the quality of the medical diagnosis and, consequently, the success probability in the treatment. To obtain a high quality image it is necessary to obtain slices which are close to one another. Motivated towards the goal of reaching an improved balance between quantity of slices and visualization quality, this research wo...
