Visual analysis sessions are increasingly conducted in multidisplay environments. However, presenting a data set simultaneously on heterogenous displays to users is a challenging task. In this paper we propose a two-step mapping strategy to address this problem. The first mapping step applies primary mapping functions to generate the same basic layout for all output devices and adapts the objec...

This research was designed to investigate the effects of critical thinking and concept mappingtest strategies on EFL Iranian learners' reading comprehension in five sessions during near twomonths. Fifty eight male and female students took a pre-test as a language proficiency test first,then they were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group, twentystudents for critical t...

This study examined the effects of aural and written prompts under two planning conditions (i.e. pre-task planning and no planning) on complexity, accuracy, and fluency of test takers' writing production. Forty learners in an English institute, who had already been classified as intermediate according to the Oxford Placement Test, were assigned to two planning conditions (i.e. no planning and p...

a concept of weak $f$-property for a set-valued mapping is introduced‎, ‎and then under some suitable assumptions‎, ‎which do not involve any information‎ ‎about the solution set‎, ‎the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping to‎ ‎the parametric‎ ‎set-valued vector equilibrium-like problems are derived by using a density result and scalarization method‎, ‎where the‎ ‎constraint set $k$...

Scientific visualization is the discipline of automatically rendering images from scientific data. Adequate visual abstractions are important to show relevant information in the data. Visual abstractions are a trade-off between showing detailed information and preventing visual overload. To use visual abstractions for the depiction of data, a mapping from data attributes to visual abstractions ...

This paper presents the status of our work aimed at enriching the IMAGACT Ontology of Action by linking it to other resources. In order to achieve this goal we performed a visual mapping, exploiting the IMAGACT visual component (video scenes that represent physical actions) as the linkage point among resources. By using visual objects, which are free from linguistic constraints and can be inter...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of concept mapping on the extent to which Iranian EFL learners retain new vocabularies and the degree of awareness toward vocabulary learning strategies they tended to use. To this end, a total of 40 Iranian EFL students were asked to participate in this study. They were randomly assigned to two equal groups; namely, experimental and control. The part...
