Data Verse Domain Specific Data Burns research has shown that high-time and high-space (or integrated view visualization) supports performance better than multiple-view visualizations presented either simultaneously or sequentially (Burns, 2000). She argues that the reason for this is that integrated-view visualizations are able to show the data in a meaningful way. That particular piece of res...

As is well-known, cultures are rooted in their unique regions, histories and languages. Communication media have been developed to circulate these cultural characteristics.

The presence of dark energy in the Universe challenges the Einstein’s theory 1 of gravity at cosmic scales. It motivates the inclusion of rotational degrees of freedom in 2 the Einstein-Cartan gravity, representing the minimal and the most natural extension of the 3 General Relativity. One can, consequently, expect the violation of the cosmic isotropy by 4 the rotating Universe. We study chiral...

It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others; it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity in dissirdars.” 1 By Aristotle’s standards, few of us would qualify as “a master of metaphor. ” In fact, merely distinguishing the term “metaph...
