Abstract Over the past two decades, light sheet fluorescence microscopy has developed to a powerful tool for studies of dynamics in biological systems. In a new development, we apply light sheet fluorescence microscopy as a novel experimental measurement technology within the field of multiphase process engineering and fluid dynamics. The technology enables a number of novel studies of single- an…

Abstract Spatial data analysis is essential in domains such as construction, architecture, and geodesy, to check for differences between construction stages of a building. In this context, real-world environments are often digitally recorded as point clouds, providing a basis for digital processing and analysis. Furthermore, aspects of spatial cognition, often measured with eye tracking, are also…

Abstract Polymer-induced drag reduction, commonly referred to as the Toms effect, has been extensively studied in wall-bounded turbulent flows such as pipe and channel flows. In contrast, fewer investigations have focused on rotating shear flows. In this study, we experimentally investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG), a water-soluble and non-toxic polymer, on turbulent Taylor–Couette…

Abstract In business settings, where graphs are often used for decision-making, it is advisable to use graphs that are selected or designed considering the reader’s graph comprehension, which refers to the ability to accurately interpret graphical data within a short, fixed viewing time (on the order of tens of seconds). However, there is little knowledge on how to achieve this in practice. In th…

Abstract In this paper, we present a visual analytics tool and its user evaluation about the optimal solvability of the 2 × 2 × 2 Rubik’s Cube. Information visualization becomes more valuable for games of mental skills because it cannot provide just a single state representation, but the player can overview the whole timeline of a game process with outcomes and compare different strategies intera…

Abstract In many graphics and visualization frameworks, directed acyclic graphs are a popular way to model visualization pipelines. Pipeline editors provide a visual interface to modify the underlying graph and use, e.g., a node-link diagram to visualize the data and program flow. This paper proposes an interactive tool for post-mortem performance analysis and comparison of pipeline variants. We …
