FlowCytoVis: Visualization Tool for Flow Cytometry Data Standards Project
نویسنده
چکیده
The research in the Terry Fox Laboratory (TFL), BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver, BC involves the use of flow cytometry (FCM) technology. Current methods of visualization of these specific data include scatterplots, histograms and contour diagrams, which have their disadvantages in multidimensional data analysis. The work presented in this paper introduces a new visualization tool for flow cytometry multidimensional datasets, FlowCytoVis. This tool uses parallel coordinates and data clustering for the visual representation of the FCM data besides traditional scatterplots and histograms. FlowCytoVis prototype has shown that the parallel coordinates can be an effective visualization technique for the FCM and can be valuable addition to the currently used scatterplot techniques.

متن کاملA THEORETICALLY CORRECT RESOURCE USAGE VISUALIZATION FOR THE RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED PROJECT SCHEDULING PROBLEM
The cumulative resource constraints of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) do not treat the resource demands as geometric rectangles, that is, activities are not necessarily assigned to the same resource units over their processing times. In spite of this fact, most papers on resource-constrained project scheduling mainly in the motivation phase use a strip packing of re...
