We published the Canadian 2003 International Consensus Algorithm for Diagnosis, Therapy, and Management of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE; C1 inhibitor [C1-INH] deficiency) updated this as angioedema: a current state-of-the-art review: Hungarian 2007 Angioedema. To update Therapy (circa 2010). The Network (CHAEN)/Réseau Canadien d'angioédème héréditaire (RCAH) http://www.haecanada.com cosponsors University Calgary Society Allergy Clinical Immunology (with an unrestricted educational grant from...
Large amounts of data are becoming increasingly available through open repositories as well companies and governments collecting to improve decision making efficiencies. Consequently there is a need increase the literacy computer science students. Data relatively new area within curriculum rapidly evolving along with tools required perform analytics which students learn how effectively use. To address needs learning key skills we propose augmenting existing curriculums hackathon events that...
A transmogrifier is a novel interface that enables quick, on-the-fly graphic transformations. region of can be specified by shape and transformed into destination with real-time, visual feedback. Both origin shapes circles, quadrilaterals or arbitrary defined through touch. Transmogrifiers are flexible, fast simple to create invite use in casual InfoVis scenarios, opening the door alternative ways exploring displaying existing visualizations (e.g., rectifying routes rivers maps), enabling...
We introduce a flexible projection framework that is capable of modeling wide variety linear, nonlinear, and hand-tailored artistic projections with single camera. This introduces unified geometry for all these types using the concept viewing volume. With parametric representation volume, we obtain ability to create curvy volumes, near far clipping surfaces, projectors. Through description framework's geometry, illustrate its capabilities recreate existing reveal new variations. Further,...
A driving force behind the design of increasingly large and high resolution displays (LHRDs) has been need to support explosion data in natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology. However, our experience with an LHRD accessible researchers across multiple disciplines shown that they are useful for a wide range research activities involving images data. \ We conducted in-context, semi-structured interviews from variety about their experiences using own Notably, it became apparent...
A recently completed study at the University of Calgary has had broad professional impact and generated increased attention to role academic libraries in campus research. This multiyear, evidence-based was conceived recognition that have traditionally played research is decreasing relevance. With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, this employs intensive partnership among library staff, scholars, administrators identify transformational changes necessary for repositioning enterprise.
Synthesizing terrain or adding detail to terrains manually is a long and tedious process. With procedural synthesis methods this process faster but more difficult control. This paper presents new technique of that uses an existing synthesize terrain. To do we use multi-resolution analysis extract the high-resolution details from models apply them increase resolution Our synthesized are heterogeneous than results, superior created by texture transfer, retain large-scale characteristics original
C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency is a rare blood disorder resulting in angioedema attacks that are debilitating and may be life-threatening. Prophylaxis therapy of events has changed since our first Canadian Consensus Conference on the diagnosis, management HAE. We have formed Hereditary Angioedema Network (CHAEN)/Réseau Canadien d'Angioédème Héréditaire (RCAH) - http://www.haecanada.com to advance care patients with this Canada. here present review HAE
We expand multitouch tabletop information exploration by placing 2D on a physically-based cloth in shallow 3D viewing environment. Instead of offering rigid window or screen, we place our soft flexible that can be draped, pulled, stretched, and folded with multiple fingers hands, supporting any number views. Combining simple manipulable objects provides environment offers similar advantages to complex detail-in-context viewing. Previous views re-created draping over virtual this physics...
Abstract Detail‐in‐context lens techniques can be useful for exploring visualizations of data spaces that are too large or have much detail to fit in regular displays. For example, by bending the space right way we bring together details from two separate areas easy comparison while roughly keeping context situates each area within global space. While these powerful tools, they also introduce distortions need understood, and often tools disabled order access undistorted data. We undistort...
<p class="p1">Large-scale digitization appears to put literary collections at one’s fingertips, but, as some critics warn, the books themselves are increasingly out of reach university libraries continue shift from being ‘physical repositories’ becoming ‘access portals’ digitized materials (Stauffer, 2012). People who drawn print often find that digital surrogates ‘lack feeling’ (Piper, Digitized texts preserve linguistic content works but not their many meaningful physical features...
Energy systems are under pressure to transform in order address concerns about climate change. The modeling and visualization of energy can play an important role communicating the costs, benefits tradeoffs choices. We introduce a tool that provides interface for exploring time-varying, multiattribute spatial properties particular system. integrates several techniques facilitate exploration These include flow diagram representation show flow, 3D interaction with diagrams expanding viewable...
We present A Delicate Agreement, an interactive art installation designed to intrigue viewers by offering them unfolding story that is endlessly fascinating. To achieve this, we set our in the liminal space of elevator, and populated this elevator with a unique characters. Viewers watch unfold through peepholes elevator's doors, where turn their gaze can trigger changes storyline. This storyline's response was created via complex adaptive system using simple rules based on Goffman's...
We present PhysicsBox, a collection of three multi-touch, physics-based, educational games. These games, based on concepts from elementary science have been designed to provide teachers with tools enrich lessons and support experimentation. PhysicsBox combines two current trends, the introduction multi-touch tabletops into classrooms research use simulated physics in tabletop applications. also Java library that supports hardware independent event handling for several tabletops.
Developing a usable Application Programming Interface (API) is complex and expensive task. Two major factors play important roles on the usability of an API: design resources (e.g. documentation, tutorials). API Developers typically evaluate after implementation that results in refactoring tasks if lacks development. This could be avoided evaluation were continuously conducted while paper explores new combined process for building APIs combines concepts from method (Cognitive Dimensions...
A better silhouette for a mesh can be rendered if we take into account the stability of edges inside and outside current silhouette. Using dot product between normal viewing direction measure this stability. This gives us two types edges: non-silhouette an associated each. We apply classification to achieve several different styles rendering as well temporal frame coherence.
Squeezing large tree structures into suitable visualizations has been a perennial problem. In response to this challenge, we present PaisleyTrees, size-invariant visualization. PaisleyTrees integrate node-of-interest focus with tree-cut presentations support rapid navigation without r
Panoramic projections are often defined by the geometric surfaces used to derive projections' equations (e.g., spherical and cylindrical panoramas). The parameterization of these greatly affects resulting projection image properties. Problematically, unusual can reproduce panoramas associated with other shapes. In this paper, we ensure an explicit link between surface shape behavior suggesting use parameterized arc-length, binding rendering modeling. This allows us create new panorama...
ABSTRACT In this paper, we geocode the residences of nineteenth-century Brompton residents to level building in order argue that literary sociability and propinquity – leading face-to-face interaction with writers, editors, artists, actors, publishers may have played a more important role formation women’s careers than scholars yet recognized. Taking popular novelist poet Dinah Craik as our case study, walkability well informal inexpensive area made fertile ground for early women writers....
