With the launch of Visual Studio 2005, developers got a modelling tool which produces class diagrams from the code or generates code from diagrams. At first sight it hardly varies from UML class diagrams. Besides presenting Class Designer I will show that this difference stems from different software development strategies.

The model used to navigate around diagrams presented in sound is vital to task performance. It is unclear whether presenting position information of the elements is beneficial; a simple method of position presentation was shown to have no benefit. This thesis looks at several aspects of presentation of diagram to blind people using sound. The type of diagram that is used throughout the thesis w...

the relationship between verbs and their arguments is a widely debated topic in linguistics. this important area of research explores current theories of how a verb’s semantics can determine the morphosyntactic realization of its arguments. according to levin (2005) event structure and aspectual structure are the first determining factors in argument realization. so, in this article we aimed to...

This paper describes an exploratory experiment investigating access to non-seen diagrams with a view to presenting such diagrams through an auditory interface. Sighted individuals asked questions of a human experimenter about diagrams they could not see, in order to learn about them. The dialogue was recorded and analysed. The analysis resulted in an insight into the strategies used by the part...

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent immunomodulatory cytokine, whose cellular targets have not yet been precisely identified. Dendritic cell (DC)-specific IL-10 receptor knockout mice exhibit exaggerated T-cell reactivation in the skin, highlighting a key role of DCs in the maintenance of local immune homeostasis, beyond their classical function as regulators of T-cell priming in lymph nodes.

We review Binary Decision Diagrams presenting the properties and algorithms that are most relevant to their application to the verification of sequential systems.

This paper introduces a novel diagram generation scheme for presenting the inner structures of a text. We first describe how semantic structures of a text can be translated into a diagram: tagging to a text, followed by translation to a diagram. The generated diagrams are tightly linked to the texts, and the media complex of the text and the diagram effectively explains the contents of a docume...

While most algebra is done by writing text and formulas, diagrams have always been used to present structural information clearly and concisely. Text shells are the de facto interface for computational algebraic number theory, but they are incapable of presenting structural information graphically. We present GiANT, a newly developed graphical interface for working with number fields. GiANT off...

This paper outlines an eighteen-month project undertaken by the MirandaNet Fellowship from 2006 – 7 to explore the ways in which multimodal concept mapping and ICT could enhance teaching and learning. Visual thinking and learning tools such as Mind Mapping and Concept Mapping have long been used in classrooms. They support (and in many cases underpin) visual learning. Findings from all of the p...
