Endothelial cell response to bioactive peptides and stiffened extracellular matrices: an investigation into atherogenic pathways
(2017-08-01)
Endothelial dysfunction is the initiating step in atherosclerosis and leads to cardiovascular disease outcomes. This dysfunction can be mitigated by cardioprotective signaling molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) which can ...
Getting comfortable in the zone with S3DComfortZone
(2017-07-01)
This thesis explains the creation of S3DComfortZone; a visualization tool integrated into the development pipeline displaying the virtual comfort zones of stereoscopic 3D devices. This tool addresses the need for visualization ...
The effect of experimental pain on neural function and motor learning
(2017-04-01)
This thesis investigated whether acute experimental pain interacts with motor learning acquisition to create adaptive and maladaptive changes in neural function. The first study consisted of two experiments where we ...
Mechanisms by which exercise promotes cognitive function in both depressed and non-depressed individuals
(2017-12-01)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease characterized by low mood, memory deficits, poor sleep quality and alterations in biochemical markers associated with neuroplasticity. Less than half of MDD patients ...
Progressive Learning of Topic Modeling Parameters: A Visual Analytics Framework
(IEEE, 2017-08-29)
Topic modeling algorithms are widely used to analyze the thematic composition of text corpora but remain difficult to interpret and adjust. Addressing these limitations, we present a modular visual analytics framework, ...
Perceptual Biases in Font Size as a Data Encoding
(IEEE, 2017-07-04)
Many visualizations, including word clouds, cartographic labels, and word trees, encode data within the sizes of fonts. While font size can be an intuitive dimension for the viewer, using it as an encoding can introduce ...
Abbreviating Text Labels on Demand
(IEEE, 2017-10)
Long text labels is a known challenge in information visualizations.There are some techniques used in order to solve this problem like setting a very small font size. On the other hand, sometimes the font size is so small ...
