Aquatic foods are highly traded, with nearly 60 million tonnes exported in 2020, representing 11% of global agriculture trade by value. Despite the vast scale, basic characteristics aquatic food trade, including species, origin, and farmed vs wild sourcing, largely unknown due to reporting data. Consequently, we have a coarse picture consumption patterns. Here, present results from database on species that aligns production, conversion factors, compute apparent for all 1996 2020. Over this...

This paper presents Game2Learn, an innovative project designed to leverage games in retaining students computer science (CS). In our two-pronged approach, integrative final-year capstone courses and summer research experiences develop teach science, which, turn, will be used improve introductory computing courses. Our successful model for undergraduate projects engages solving the retention problem, allows them quickly create games, instructs user- learner-centered design methods. Results...

During the course of a day, police unit is expected to move throughout city provide visible presence and respond quickly emergencies. Planning this movement at beginning shift can helpful first step in ensuring that officers are present areas high crime, but these plans break down as they pulled away 911 calls. Once such an initial plan deferred, units need be able rapidly fluidly decide where go next depending on their immediate location time. In paper, we our research couple spatiotemporal...

With the increase of terrorist activity around world, it has become more important than ever to analyze and understand these activities over time. Although data on are detailed relevant, complexity rendered understanding analysis difficult. We present a visual analytical approach effectively identify related entities such as groups, events, locations, etc. based 2D layout. Our methods sequence comparison from bioinformatics, modified incorporate element By allowing user freedom link by their...

During a crisis, emergency responders must rapidly integrate information from many separate sources to satisfy their role-specific needs and make time-sensitive decisions. Responders currently receive this through numerous software applications face the challenge of integrating heterogeneous data into an all-encompassing picture. Individual with distinct roles, such as police, fire, EMS, often have very different needs, but existing tools do not provide individual tailoring workspaces...

Spatial networks present unique challenges to understanding topo-logical structure. Each node occupies a location in physical space (e.g., longitude and latitude) each link may either indicate fixed well-described path along streets) or logical connection only. Placing these elements map maintains relationships while making it more difficult identify topological features of interest such as clusters, cliques, paths. While some systems provide coordinated representations spatial network, is...

In time-sensitive environments, such as DHS emergency operations centers (EOCs), it is imperative for decision makers to rapidly understand and address key logical relationships that exist between tasks, entities, events, even conditions fluctuate. These often have important temporal characteristics, tasks must be completed before others can started (e.g., buses transported an area evacuation process begin). Unfortunately, traditional display methods, mission timelines, typically reveal only...

We present a process for the exploration and analysis of large databases events. A typical database is characterized by sequential actions number individual entities. These entities can be compared their similarities in sequence changes over time. The correlation two sequences provide important clues as to possibility connection between responsible entities, but an analyst might not able specify type sought prior examination. Our incorporates extensive automated calculation data mining...

Individual neighborhoods within large cities can benefit from independent analysis of public data in the context ongoing efforts to improve community. Yet existing tools for and visualization are often mismatched community needs, reasons including geographic granularity that does not correspond boundaries, siloed sets, inaccurate assumptions about literacy, limited user input design implementation phases. In Atlanta this need is being addressed through a Data Dashboard developed under...

Pictorial mnemonic devices represent a promising approach to improving the efficiency and efficacy of procedural training in comparison traditional, text-based materials. However, simply trading static, textual depictions process flows with visual will not support development rich knowledge structures necessary for recall.
