The Anamorphic Universe the Anamorphic Universe
We introduce “anamorphic” cosmology, an approach for explaining the smoothness and flatness of the universe on large scales and the generation of a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of adiabatic density perturbations. The defining feature is a smoothing phase that acts like a contracting universe based on some Weyl frame-invariant criteria and an expanding universe based on other frame-invariant ...
متن کاملTable Cartograms
A table cartogram of a two dimensional m × n table A of non-negative weights in a rectangle R, whose area equals the sum of the weights, is a partition of R into convex quadrilateral faces corresponding to the cells of A such that each face has the same adjacency as its corresponding cell and has area equal to the cell’s weight. Such a partition acts as a natural way to visualize table data ari...
متن کاملTask Taxonomy for Cartograms
Cartograms are maps in which areas of geographic regions (countries, states) appear in proportion to some variable of interest (population, income). Despite the popularity of cartograms and the large number of cartogram variants, there are few studies evaluating the effectiveness of cartograms in conveying information. In order to design cartograms as a useful visualization tool and to be able ...
متن کاملAutomated Construction of Rectangular Cartograms
A rectangular cartogram is a type of map where every region is a rectangle. The size of the rectangles is chosen such that their areas represent a geographic variable (e.g., population). Good rectangular cartograms are hard to generate: The area specifications for each rectangle may make it impossible to realize correct adjacencies between the regions and so hamper the intuitive understanding o...
متن کاملVisualizing Cartograms: Goals and Task Taxonomy
Cartograms are maps in which areas of geographic regions (countries, states) appear in proportion to some variable of interest (population, income). Cartograms are popular visualizations for geo-referenced data that have been around for over a century. Newspapers, magazines, textbooks, blogs, and presentations frequently employ cartograms to show voting results, popularity, and in general, geog...
