Of all the graphic forms used today, the scatterplot is arguably the most versatile, polymorphic, and generally useful invention in the history of statistical graphics. Its use by Galton led to the discovery of correlation and regression, and ultimately to much of present multivariate statistics. So, it is perhaps surprising that there is no one widely credited with the invention of this idea. ...

JTN is a formal graphic notation for Java-targeted design speciications, that are speciications of systems that will be implemented using Java. JTN is aimed to be a part of a more articulated project for the production of a development method for reactive/concurrent/distributed systems. The starting point of this project is an existing general method that however does not cover the coding phase...

At all levels of teaching mathematics it is necessary to implement as many as possible examples of idealised real problems which require the application of mathematical knowledge and development of mathematical models. The course probability and statistics, taught at the faculties of technology in Croatia, should therefore include examples which are connected with technologies studied at respec...

Comics and manga are one of the most popular and familiar forms of graphic content over the world and play a major role in spreading country’s culture. Nowadays, massive digitization allow page-per-page mobile reading but we believe that other usages will be released in the near future. In this paper, we focus on speech balloon segmentation which is a key issue for text/graphic association in s...

This study investigated 1) whether the effect of teacher-developed graphic organizers vis-à-vis student-developed ones was more significant on improving intermediate EFL learners’ writing, and 2) whether the use of both graphic organizers had any impact on their writing. The participants were selected in two stages: 130 students sat for a piloted proficiency test. Those who scored above half of...

We have developed a clinical method for the graphic recording, analysis and planning of treatment of leg-length discrepancy during growth. Initially, the clinically determined discrepancy is plotted against the chronological age yearly, and then in late childhood at six-monthly intervals. CT and measurements of skeletal age are made in middle and late childhood to confirm the clinical findings....

We are concerned with the extraction of tables from exchange format representations of very diverse composite documents. We put forward a flexible representation scheme for complex tables, based on a clear distinction between the physical layout of a table and its logical structure. Relying on this scheme, we develop a new method for the detection and the extraction of tables by an analysis of ...
