This paper presents a novel Visual Analytics approach that helps linguistic researchers to explore the world’s languages with respect to several important tasks: (1) The comparison of manually and automatically extracted language features across languages and within the context of language genealogy, (2) the exploration of interrelations among several of such features as well as their homogenei...

Chrysanthemums are widely cultivated and have a significant market value due to their popularity as ornamental plants traditional medicinal uses. The global chrysanthemum includes various segments, such cut flowers, potted plants, products. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out with title at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agr...

Abstract Attractive displays can stimulate sales in the retail setting. With most plants still sold physical outlets, influence of display layout on visual behavior and purchasing is interest to academicians practitioners. Using a within-subjects in-lab experiment eye tracking technology, we explored how cognitive load imposed by horticultural affects attention choice. Display layouts were vari...

Advances in high-throughput materials fabrication and characterization techniques have resulted in faster rates of data collection and rapidly growing volumes of experimental data. To convert this mass of information into actionable knowledge of material process-structure-property relationships requires high-throughput data analysis techniques. This work explores the use of the Graph-based endm...

Larvae of the sunburst diving beetle, Thermonectus marmoratus, have a cluster of six stemmata (E1-6) and one eye patch on each side of the head. Each eye has two retinas: a distal retina that is closer to the lens, and a proximal retina that lies directly underneath. The distal retinas of E1 and E2 are made of a dorsal and a ventral stack of at least twelve photoreceptor layers. Could this arra...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to characterize sickle cell disease retinopathy in children and teenagers from Bahia, the state in northeastern Brazil with the highest incidence and prevalence of sickle cell disease. METHODS A group of 51 sickle cell disease patients (36 hemoglobin SS and 15 hemoglobin SC) with ages ranging from 4 to 18 years was studied. Ophthalmological examinati...

Objective: The present study aims to describe ocular alterations in sickle cell disease patients in Bahia, a Northeast state, with the highest prevalence of the disease in Brazil. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study in a group of 146 (292 eyes) sickle cell disease patients (90 HBSS and 56 HBSC). Ophthalmologic examination including indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy was performed. Ex...

Very few visual systems diverge fundamentally from the basic plans of well-studied animal eyes. However, investigating those that do can provide novel insights into visual system function. A particularly unusual system exists in the principal larval eyes of a visually guided aquatic predator, the sunburst diving beetle, Thermonectus marmoratus (Coleoptera: Dystiscidae). These eyes are character...

The growing depth and breadth of data spanning the solar-terrestrial environment requires new ways representing analyzing available information. This paper applies one such representation—network analysis—to study Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) in electric power lines. work uses newly current collected by utilities through Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) SUNBURST project magne...

We present a strong lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster PSZ1 G311.65-18.48 ( z = 0.443) using multi-band observations with Hubble Space Telescope complemented VLT/MUSE spectroscopic data. The MUSE provide redshift estimates for lensed sources and help to reduce misidentification multiple images. Spectroscopic data are also used measure inner velocity dispersions 15 galaxies calibrate scaling...
