Abstract:
Gaze movement and visual stimuli have been utilized to analyze human visual attention intuitively. Gaze behavior studies mainly show statistical analyses of eye movements and human visual attention. During these analyses, eye movement data and the saliency map are presented to the analysts as separate views or merged views. However, the analysts become frustrated when they need to memorize all of the separate views or when the eye movements obscure the saliency map in the merged views. Therefore, it is not easy to analyze how visual stimuli affect gaze movements since existing techniques focus excessively on the eye movement data. In this paper, we propose a novel visualization technique for analyzing gaze behavior using saliency features as visual clues to express the visual attention of an observer. The visual clues that represent visual attention are analyzed to reveal which saliency features are prominent for the visual stimulus analysis. We visualize the gaze data with the saliency features to interpret the visual attention. We analyze the gaze behavior with the proposed visualization to evaluate that our approach to embedding saliency features within the visualization supports us to understand the visual attention of an observer.

Abstract:
Abstract Data acquisition using remote sensing has opened up new possibilities of their analysis and application. For the ecological stability calculations, it is needed to divide the observed area into subsections based on the land character. The selection may be done by various kinds of processing. For example, it may be done manually, but to increase the post-processing effectivity, it is necessary to find faster, automatic ways of the post-processing. Many software environments are able to solve this problematic by using spectral analyses and appropriate tools.

Abstract. Network analysis has become an important approach in studying complex spatiotemporal behaviour within geophysical observation and simulation data. This new field produces increasing numbers of large geo-referenced networks to be analysed. Particular focus lies currently on the network analysis of the complex statistical interrelationship structure within climatological fields. The standard procedure for such network analyses is the extraction of network measures in combination with static standard visualisation methods. Existing interactive visualisation methods and tools for geo-referenced network exploration are often either not known to the analyst or their potential is not fully exploited. To fill this gap, we illustrate how interactive visual analytics methods in combination with geovisualisation can be tailored for visual climate network investigation. Therefore, the paper provides a problem analysis relating the multiple visualisation challenges to a survey undertaken with network analysts from the research fields of climate and complex systems science. Then, as an overview for the interested practitioner, we review the state-of-the-art in climate network visualisation and provide an overview of existing tools. As a further contribution, we introduce the visual network analytics tools CGV and GTX, providing tailored solutions for climate network analysis, including alternative geographic projections, edge bundling, and 3-D network support. Using these tools, the paper illustrates the application potentials of visual analytics for climate networks based on several use cases including examples from global, regional, and multi-layered climate networks.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to utilize the dual frameworks of Body-Centered Constructivism and Lived Religion to analyze the work of contemporary photojournalists and documentary photographers. Interviews were conducted with a targeted selection of professional and non-professional photojournalists whose experiences and work were relevant to the Body-Centered Constructivist framework. Informants were asked to comment on how physical factors including but not limited to new photographic technologies affected the use of their bodies while on assignment, their interpretation of stories, and their relationships with their subjects. Next, visual analyses of works of photojournalism were conducted using a Lived Religion framework. These works were selected based on their relevance to the research questions presented, namely how photojournalists approach the mundane in coverage of religious stories. An additional creative component operated as a case study for applying each framework to a work of visual journalism. Various media were employed based on relationships fostered between the media, the photographer’s body, and the subjects. Reflections and conclusions based on this project are included.

Abstract:
Auf der Basis von Fossilien wird angenommen, dass die ersten Säugetiere nachtaktiv waren. Diese Arbeit untersucht diese Hypothese mit bioinformatischen und molekularbiologischen Techniken. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Rhodopsin, ein Sehpigment im Wirbeltierauge, das für Sehen unter schlechten Lichtverhältnissen verantwortlich ist. Zunächst wurde das Rhodopsin der monotrematen Echidna, einem basalen Säugetier, sequenziert und mit zwei Mutanten mit Mutationen an Positionen 158 und 169 in vitro exprimiert. Die biochemische und funktionelle Charakterisierung ergab, dass das Echidna-Rhodopsin farbpigment-typische Charakteristika aufweist, was auf eine Expression auch in Zapfen hindeutet. Dies ist die erste Charakterisierung eines Rhodopsins eines nachtaktiven Tieres. Dann wurden anzestrale Rhodopsinsequenzen für die Knotenpunkte Amniota, Mammalia und Theria mithilfe der Maximum-Likelihood-Methode berechnet. Die in vitro Expression und biochemische und funktionelle Charakterisierung zeigt funktionale und rhodopsin-typische Sehpigmente. Das Mammalia- und Theria-Rhodopsin zeigen eine hohe Meta II Halbwertszeit. Dieses Ergebnis wird als eventuelle Anpassung an Sehen unter schlechten Lichtverhältnissen interpretiert, wobei, aufgrund von Unstimmigkeiten in der Literatur, Schlussfolgerungen auf ökologisch-bedingte Anpassungen basierend auf einzelnen Funktionstests problematisch sind, da die visuelle Signalkaskade ein sehr komplexes und durch viele Proteine vernetztes System darstellt. Zuletzt zeigen Selektionsanalysen, dass das Rhodopsin entlang der Theria-Linie positive Selektion auf nicht-synonyme Substitutionen erfahren hat, was zu Anpassungen in einem Protein führt. Der Fossilbericht belegt entlang dieser Linie mehrere Einnischungsevents in neue Lebensräume. Entlang der Mammalia-Linie wurde positive Selektion auf synonyme Substitutionen gemessen, was zu einer Zunahme an Rhodopsin-Molekülen führt und damit eine Anpassung an Sehen unter schlechten Lichtverhältnissen darstellt.<br>Based on information from the fossil record, the first mammals are thought to have been nocturnal. This thesis investigates this popular hypothesis using bioinformatic and molecular techniques, focusing on the rhodopsin, a visual pigment in the vertebrate eye that is responsible for vision at low-light levels. First, the rhodopsin gene of the monotreme echidna, a basal mammal, was sequenced and successfully expressed in vitro, together with two mutants with substitutions at sites 158 and 169. Biochemical and functional analyses revealed that the echidna rhodopsin displays cone-like characteristics, likely due to being also expressed in cones. With the echidna being nocturnal, this thesis comprises the first characterisation of a rhodopsin of a nocturnal animal. Second, ancestral rhodopsin sequences for the tetrapod nodes Amniota, Mammalia, and Theria were inferred using Maximum likelihood estimates. All expressed pigments were successfully expressed in vitro, functional and rod-like. Mammalia and Theria rhodopsins display a high meta II half life time, a pattern that is usually interpreted to facilitate better vision at low-light levels. However, due to inconsistency in the available data, the result also suggests that, with the visual signaling cascade being a complex and interconnected system, erecting ecological interpretations based on single biochemical and functional reactions is problematic. Third, selective constraint analyses performed on a set of tetrapod rhodopsin sequences indicate that positive selection on non-synonymous sites, was acting along the branch leading to Theria. This result reflects the rapid diversification into modern ecological habitats during the Triassic and Jurassic, as indicated by the fossil record. In addition, positive selection on synonymous sites, leading to an increase of rhodopsin molecules, was found along the branch leading to Mammalia and suggests adaptations to vision at low-light levels.

Abstract:
Rotor dynamic analysis, which requires extensive amount of data and rigorous analytical processing, has been eased by the advent of powerful and affordable digital computers. By incorporating the processor and a graphical interface post processor in a single set up, this program offers a consistent and efficient approach to rotor dynamic analysis. The graphic user interface presented in this program effectively addresses the inherent complexities of rotor dynamic analyses by linking the required computational algorithms together to constitute a comprehensive program by which input data and the results are exchanged, analyzed and graphically plotted with minimal effort by the user. Just by selecting an input file and appropriate options as required, the user can carry out a comprehensive rotor dynamic analysis (synchronous response, stability analysis, critical speed analysis with undamped map) of a particular design and view the results with several options to save the plots for further verification. This approach helps the user to modify the design of turbomachinery quickly, until an efficient design is reached, with minimal compromise in all aspects.

Abstract:
Tese de Mestrado em Design de Comunicação<br>O estudo em vista irá incidir na área disciplinar do Design de Comunicação, mais concretamente, sobre o design gráfico. O primeiro, enquanto disciplina auxiliar na construção de mensagens, busca incessantemente diferentes formas de transmitir ideias a um público, seguindo, para tal, processos variados, inerentes à personalidade dos designers envolvidos no projecto. Contudo, apesar das suas variações e diferenças, os processos poder-se-ão essencialmente considerar subdivididos em duas etapas fundamentais: a primeira onde se dá o desenvolvimento e definição da ideia que se deseja transmitir, possuindo cariz conceptual; a segunda, de vertente prática constitui o território onde se dá a materialização da ideia. Ambas as etapas necessitam de métodos, mais ou menos universais ou flexíveis, a fim de garantir qualidade no resultado final. Porém, será a preocupação com o modo como a segunda etapa etapa referida condiciona o mesmo resultado que cosntitui uma das questões do nosso estudo, ou seja, a de melhor compreender a fase de execução do processo criativo. Um dos objectivos do presente estudo será resolver esta questão, contribuindo para isolar um conjunto de parâmetros que sirva para analisar metodicamente as soluções contempladas pelo Design na sua vertente de eficácia na comunicação de mensagens em cartazes. Adoptando a perspectiva de que a fase de execução do processo criativo requer um conhecimento prévio da reacção do público a determinadas formas e composições visuais, recorreu-se aos princípios da psicologia da forma para criar o atrás referido conjunto de parâmetros de análise. Assim, defeniu-se uma estrutura focando os seguintes tópicos: planos constituintes (figura-fundo); distribuição, organização e gestão de pesos visuais; orientação do olhar e forças perceptivas. Através da observação directa de casos de estudo, numa avaliação sistemática, tentaram-se extrapolar conclusões práticas. Os casos de estudo referidos pertencem exclusivamente ao Swiss Style, os quais, por se limitarem a utilizar apenas o "essencial" para comunicar uma ideia, nos permitiram uma análise de carácter, mais simples ou evidente. Nesta investigação, procurou-se, ainda, encontrar alguns pontos comuns entre a psicologia da forma e o Swiss Style. Os resultados do estudo desenvolvido poderão contribuir para apontar caminhos a alunos e profissionais na área do design gráfico, a fim de melhor desenvolverem os seus projectos com confiança nos momentos de decisão inerentes ao processo criativo.<br>This study verses on the disciplinary context of communication design, with a special interest on graphic design. The first, as an auxiliary discipline to the correct construction of messages, seeks to find new forms of communicating ideas to an audience through diffrent processes, related to the characters of the involved designers. However, despite their differences and variations, these processes can be essentially subdivided into two different stages: the first one, conceptual, is where the early developments and the definition of the idea occur; the second one, with a practical feature, is the territory where the materialization of the concept takes place. The above referred stages need more or less universal or flexible methods to guarantee quality in the final result. Nevertheless, one of the issues that is at the origin of this investigation is the concern with the way the secon stage determines the result, that is better understand the execution phase of the creative process. One of the aims of the present study will be to solve the question, contributing to isolate solutions used in the design activity, in its efficient communication of messages through the elaboration of posters. Through the adoption of a point of view based on the execution stage inherent to the creative process that requires a previous knowledge of audience's reaction to certain forms and visual compositional styles, the study used the principles of the gestalt theory to create the above referred set of analytical parameters. A structure was defined to organize the study, following some topics, such as: compositional planes (figure-ground); visual distribution, organization and weight management; eye orientation; and perpetual forces or tensions. The direct observation of examples and the effort to assess them systematically led to the extrapolation of some practical conclusions. The case studied belonged exclusively to Swiss Style. Using merely the "essential" to communicate an idea, they allowed us a simpler and more obvious analytical evaluation. In this investigation, there was some preocupation with establishing some common aspects between gestalt theory and Swiss Style. Results provided by this study will eventually contribute to show both to students and professionals, different decision moments intrinsic to the creative process.

Abstract:
Mitt kandidatarbete går ut på att fastställa om det finns något samband mellan hur vi relaterar till färger i förhållande till platser och hur mycket våra tidigare erfarenheter som påverkar sambandet. Med hjälp av Donna Haraway´s arbeten om begreppet situerad kunskap och begreppet diffraktion av Karen Barad. I detta kandidatarbete används diffraktion som ett verktyg i skapandeprocess. Färg är någonting som vi ser hela tiden i vårt dagliga liv. Därför kopplar vårt minne ihop färg på både ett medvetet och omedvetet sätt, så som till platser, företagslogotyper, mat, hustyper, bilar och blommor. Eftersom mitt arbete handlar mycket om bilder, och färger, har jag använt mig av ett analysverktyg som heter Semiotisk analys, där jag får hjälp att tolka resultatet av färg och form i olika bilder. Slutsatsen kommer att handla om hur mycket tidigare erfarenheter kan påverka visuella arbetsminnet dvs. associationen mellan olika färger och olika platser, mycket, lite eller obetydligt. Resultatet kommer förmodligen att landa i någon form av påverkan.<br>With this Bachelor thesis, I want to enlighten if there are some connection between how we relate to colours in relations to separate places and how mush our previous experiences interfere with this relation. With the support of Donna Haraway´s works with the concept situated knowledge and with the concept diffraction of Karen Barad. In this Bachelor thesis, I use the concept diffraction as a tool in the design process. Colour is something as we see around us all the time in daily life. Therefor our memory connects colours together in a consciousness way and a unconsciousness way with a lot of different things as Places, Company Logos, food, different kind of Houses, Cars and Flowers among others. Because of my Bachelor thesis is about Pictures and colours, have I used a tool for analyses called Semiotic analyse, with this tool I got some support in the way of interpretation of colours and shapes in different Pictures. The conclusion is about how mush previous experience are going to affect the visual memory that is to say association between colours and separate places, a lot, little or almost nothing. The result is probably going to be some kind of influence.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de Agronomia<br>The interest for the subject, “Visual Analysis of the Landscape in the Municipality of Almada”, emerged from the perception that projects don´t generally meet the needs of the populations, but instead they meet the personal preferences of the designer. The aim of this work is to introduce public opinion as a tool in the design process. Although the general public doesn´t possess the technical knowledge, making the intervention of the designer essential, they do possess the practical knowledge of the dynamics, needs and the most valuable assets of the landscape that surrounds the areas where they live or work. As a case study I chose the Municipality of Almada, from which I took the seven most representative photos and then elaborated an inquiry to its population. In an inquiry, these pictures were to be ordered by preference by the inquired, asking them to make the visual analysis of the municipality and revealing what kind of landscapes they most and least like. It was possible to conclude that although the urban expansion engulfed the natural landscape, involving the population in an insalubrious environment, people still prefer landscapes with natural elements, like water or vegetation. Landscapes with cultural heritage are also of great importance, for they represent the identity of the population or of the nation itself.

Abstract:
AbstractThe number of social media posts and news articles that are being published every day is high. This makes them an attractive source of human-generated information for different domain experts such as journalists and business analysts but also emergency responders, particularly if posts contain references to geolocations. Visual analytics approaches can help to gain insights into such datasets and inform decision-makers. However, the high volume and the veracity of the data, as well as the velocity in the case of streaming data, pose challenges when supporting explorative analysis with interactive visualization. Based on four exemplary approaches, we outline recently proposed strategies to tackle these challenges. We describe how geo-aware filtering and anomaly detection methods can help to inform stakeholders based on geolocated tweets. We show that data-aware tag maps can provide analysts with an overview-first, details-on-demand visual summary of large amounts of text content over time. With space-filling curves, we can visualize the temporal evolution of geolocations in a two-dimensional plot without relying on animations that would impede comparative analyses. Additionally, we discuss the use of an efficient dynamic clustering algorithm for enabling large-scale visual analyses of streaming posts.

The launch and trajectory of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy involved the management of visual representations and close navigation of the visual saturation of the contemporary political information environment. The reach and resonance of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy were strengthened by the political mobilisation and employment of a range of visual representations and visibility structures. This chapter analyses the use of visual language in the political articulation of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy. To this effect, we provide a visual analysis of a photo exhibition that became a successful conversation, enabling the connection between the global goals of feminist foreign policy with wider gender debates that resonated with a range of national settings. Finally, we analyse the WikiGap initiative, which aimed to enhance the visibility of women’s stories and experiences online. The initiative illustrates how Sweden’s contestation of gendered politics was made visible online.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study analyses the visual social media communication of Italian 5-star hotel brands to investigate whether it has changed over the course of COVID-19. An AI-based image content analysis approach was used to extract the most frequently ascribed labels from 2,439 collected photos of three consecutive year samples. The results of the performed content analysis show that the visual communication of the hotel brand is mainly focused on interior design and the natural environment, with the pandemic stimulating the use of the latter. The study contributes the literature by reinforcing the importance of relative consistency in luxury brand communication even in turbulent times.

Abstract:
Abstract External corrosion of coated pipelines and equipment is a common problem in refineries and petrochemical plants, especially at locations with elevated humidity e.g. near cooling towers. Usually manifest as damage to the coating layer (spot or uniform), external corrosion will require timely detection and repair in order to ensure sustained reliability in operations. Locations of coating damages are typically revealed by traditional visual inspection. Sometimes, visual inspection is supported by thermographic imaging and may provide additional insights on potential for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). Visual inspection is typically considered to be a low cost and uncomplicated technique. However, it requires significant effort in terms of time and skilled manpower as well as the need for complex infrastructure (scaffolding and / or crane operation are often required), resulting in significant cost of visual characterization. Recent advances in drone technology offer an attractive and cost-efficient alternative to manual methods and are designed to automate many aspects of visual inspection. Automated drone systems for remote imaging facilitate rapid photographic documentation of relevant unit structures or areas without complex and expensive support infrastructure. When integrated with intelligent data processing systems for rapid analysis and mapping of surfaces with damaged coating, cracked supports, damaged insulation jacketing, drone based visual inspection and data analyses techniques provide a robust and low-cost alternative. This can also be easily combined with thermographic imaging to help identify locations where CUI may be occurring. An important element in remote visual inspection is automated post processing and data analysis utilizing special algorithms for e.g. crack detection in concrete supports or coating damages (size, type, density etc.). The current paper provides a conceptual framework for automated visual inspection utilizing remote drone systems. It also presents results from a field case study on inspection of multi-level pipe-racks in a refinery environment. Examples of automated image analysis using dedicated algorithms are also given. Potential benefits and challenges of drone-based data acquisition and analyses are also discussed.

Abstract:
Access to ordinary sports clubs or video games is limited for blind and visually impaired people (BVI) which reduces mixed ability practices and social inclusion. To adapt shooting video games and sports to BVI, we analyzed the literature to find sonification methods able to support targeting tasks. We identified four convenient methods ("Pitch Only", "Tempo &amp; Pitch", "Tempo &amp; Binary Pitch", "Chroma, Beats &amp; Roughness") outcoming from other application fields such as medical assistance, navigation, or photography. To determine the best suitable sonification for shooting contexts, we carried out a within subject experiment in a 3D virtual reality environment. 24 sighted participants were asked to shoot as fast and accurately as possible on invisible targets, guided by sonic feedback only. With future mixed ability practices in mind, sighted participant’s performances were also evaluated through a visual control condition. Results showed that participants were shooting faster in the visual condition, but more accurately in the audio-only conditions. "Chroma, Beats &amp; Roughness" sonification lead to slower aiming time and more mentally demanding efforts than the three other methods. Analyses finally suggest that participants preferred to associate both pitch and tempo. Lastly, future participation of BVI persons will allow to deepen the results.

Abstract:
Abstract Erosion-corrosion in a very localized section - 6 in (152 mm) x 3 in (76mm) - of two bottom U-bends of a reformer heater led to leakage and subsequent fire damage. The 6.625 in diameter (168 mm) x 0.321 in (8 mm) wall 1¼&amp;lt; Cr - ½ Mo steel tubes were in service for 25 years. The two affected tubes ID’s were in the SE coil section. Visual and metallurgical analyses did not reveal any signs of long term creep damage or overheating. Normal ultrasonic thickness measurements taken during shutdowns did not detect the damage that was located at or just below the refractory interface. The melted rundown material observed in the tubes and headers was identified as extraneous metal fines. Limited thickness data showed no apparent problems with the top and bottom headers or the other three coils. Sections of the furnace tubes were selected for visual and life assessment analyses. Inspection plans, procedures and process flow analyses were provided to help identify trouble spots. Techniques utilized to prioritize and schedule tube replacements for similar furnaces in the unit are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Periodic inspections have identified numerous visible cracks on the inner surfaces of steam stop valve and control valve casings at four coal-fired electricity generation units, each with approximately 50 years of operation. Evaluations were performed in recent years to assess the remaining life of those components. The assessments incorporated visual examinations, phased-array ultrasonic test (PAUT) examinations, dimensional measurements for creep analyses, and stress and crack growth analyses using finite-element analysis (FEA). It was determined that the sizes and growth rates of the observed cracks in all of the inspected units were such that there is substantial margin available before the valve casings would be expected to reach life-limiting levels of creep, cracking, or fatigue.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Recent failure analyses of several modern pipelines in oil service have exhibited pin-hole leaks at the 6 o’clock position. The pits formed on the inside surface from a combination of pitting corrosion and under deposit corrosion. Two case studies involving an 8-inch and a 12-inch OD API 5L Grade X52M pipeline are discussed. The work scope for the pipeline failure analyses included visual examination, metallography, energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS) of corrosion products, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Vickers hardness and tensile tests to determine the mechanism that led to the perforation(s). The failure analyses results indicated that the pitting corrosion likely occurred from the presence of free water and salts, while under deposit corrosion occurred from a layer of deposits containing paraffin, sand, salts and iron oxides. Pipelines anticipated to have significant accumulation of internal deposits require frequent internal cleaning via pigging and the subsequent use of corrosion inhibitors to improve pipeline integrity.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;On 06.02.2023 Pazarcik and Elbistan provinces of Kahramanmaras city in Turkey was hit by 2 massive earthquakes. In the close proximity of these events, there are 12 base-isolated hospitals, 8 of which have been designed and constructed with TDP double sliding surface curved surface sliders. 4 of the hospitals were under construction at various construction stage; while, other 4 was operational on 06.02.2023. Two separate site observations were made between 10.02.2023 and 19.02.2023 in all 8 hospitals and visual evaluations were made. During the visual observations in the hospitals both operational and under construction, structural and nonstructural behavior of superstructure and behavior of base isolation devices were inspected. Correct and incorrect applications of seismic gaps, infill walls, suspended ceilings; relationship between structural system and behavior of superstructure; maximum and residual displacements, torsional behavior, detailed visual inspection on sliding surfaces are some of the focuses of the observations made. All of the visual observations are summarized in this study. Then, performances of base isolation systems in all 8 hospital projects have been evaluated considering design properties of base isolation devices, results of prototype and production tests done for each specific project, DBE and MCE level design considerations of superstructures and nonlinear time history analyses performed using the actual reliable strong ground motion data published by Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) during the weeks after earthquakes, as well as, simulated ground motions based on commonly used attenuation relationships. This study focuses on both visual observations and analytical evaluation of performance during 06.02.2023 earthquakes of all 8 hospitals. Structural models involved nonlinear multi degree of freedom systems with lumped- mass stick model incorporating idealized story mass and stiffness for each story of the highest building block of each project. OpenSees and SAP2000 are used during modeling and nonlinear analyses.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
DNA sequences contain vast amounts of biological data and computer algorithms play an important role in processing these data for human inspection. Here we describe an updated computer-generated auditory display tool to be used as stand-alone audio or as a complement to a visual display for DNA sequence inspection. The auditory display uses musical notes to represent the data in relation to the process of gene expression or DNA replication. Given the use of musical notes in the auditory display raises the possibility these may be considered algorithmic music. To pursue this notion further the auditory displays were used in a music studio setting outside of the science laboratory. Musicians were challenged to play in-sync with the audio and to embellish the melodic and harmonic content of the auditory display. New music compositions featuring the auditory displays were recorded and performed live in outreach events to promote a wider understanding of the processes of gene expression and DNA replication and how gene sequence information affects human health conditions.

Abstract:
Collision with obstacles (typically wires and towers) and with terrain during low level helicopter flight under low visibility conditions has been a documented problem for the US military. Degraded visual environments (DVE) due to night operations and/or poor weather prevent adequate visibility of terrain and obstacles ahead of the aircraft and contribute to many of the accidents. This paper documents the results of twelve pilots in a simulation evaluating four types of visual conformal symbology sets in a low-visibility condition contour terrain flight: a scene-linked condition, a conformal line condition, a guidance line condition, and the combination of the two in a conformal + guidance condition. The results of combined quantitative and qualitative analyses strongly support the superiority of the contour lines over the scene-linked to ensure the safest flying behavior and the greatest situation awareness. However, the interindividual variability was very high, suggesting that a modular and selectable presentation of the different displays should be made available, as a function of the phase of the flight, the nature of the mission and the pilot's preferences.

Full text
Abstract:
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology collects geochemical data at a fraction of the cost of traditional laboratory methods. Although the pXRF spectrometer provides concentrations for 41 elements, only a subset of these elements meet the criteria for definitive, quantitative, and qualitative data. However, high-quality pXRF data obtained by correct application of analytical protocols, can provide robust insight to stratigraphy and sediment characteristics that are often not observed by, for example, visual core logging, grain size analysis, and geophysical logging. We present examples of geochemical results obtained from pXRF analysis of drill core samples from three boreholes located in Canada, that demonstrate: 1) Definitive stratigraphic boundaries observed in geochemical changes obtained from 380 analyses collected over 150 m of core, which intersects three Ordovician sedimentary formations and Precambrian granite. These boundaries could not be reconciled by traditional visual core logging methods. 2) Significant elemental concentration changes observed in 120 samples collected in each of two ~120 m deep boreholes located in a confined paleo-glacial foreland basin. The collected geochemical data provide insight to sediment provenance and stratigraphic relationships that were previously unknown. 3) Abrupt changes in the geochemical signature in a subset of 135 samples collected from a 151 m deep borehole intersecting Quaternary glacial derived till, sands, and ahomogeneous silt and clay succession. These data provide a platform for discussion on ice sheet dynamics, changes in depositional setting, and changes in provenance. Results from each of these studies highlights previously unknown (invisible) geological information revealed through geochemical analyses. A significant benefit of using pXRF technology is refining sampling strategies in near real time and the ability to increase sample density at geochemical boundaries with little increase in analysis time or budget. The data also provide an opportunity to establish a chemostratigraphic framework that complements other stratigraphic correlation techniques, including geophysical methods. Overall, data collected with pXRF technology provide new insights into topics such as spatial correlations, facies changes, provenance changes, and depositional environment changes.

Full text
Abstract:
In situ visualization is a technique in which plots and other visual analyses are performed in tandem with numerical simulation processes in order to better utilize HPC machine resources. Especially with unattended exploratory engineering simulation analyses, events may occur during the run, which justify supplemental processing. Sometimes though, when the events do occur, the phenomena of interest includes the physics that precipitated the events and this may be the key insight into understanding the phenomena that is being simulated. In situ temporal caching is the temporary storing of produced data in memory for possible later analysis including time varying visualization. The later analysis and visualization still occurs during the simulation run but not until after the significant events have been detected. In this article, we demonstrate how temporal caching can be used with in-line in situ visualization to reduce simulation run-time while still capturing essential simulation results.

Abstract:
The fairlead beam is used to accomplish installation of the Barrier Arresting Kit 12 energy absorber for setback aircraft arresting system (AAS) installations at permanent operating facilities. Typical fairlead beams are affixed to a Portland cement concrete (PCC) foundation pad by a series of anchor assemblies made up of steel anchor rods set in grout inside galvanized pipe sleeves. US Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) subject matter experts have identified a pattern of premature failures in these steel anchor assemblies when they are nondestructively inspected during AAS overhauls. The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center was tasked by AFCEC to investigate potential reasons for these premature failures. This report outlines methods and results of a finite element analysis of the anchorage, a visual and petrographic analysis of field-cored PCC anchor rods from Luke Air Force Base, and a mechanical analysis of specimens taken from the anchor rods within the PCC cores. Multiple modes of PCC distress were observed, and corrosion was evident in and around the anchor assemblies. Mechanical testing of specimens from the anchor rods indicated that an inferior grade of steel was used to fabricate these particular assemblies. Finally, observed deviations from design intention are discussed.

Abstract:
The National Park Service?s Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program developed an NRCA with managers at Cedar Creek &amp; Belle Grove National Historical Park (CEBE), a partner park located in western Virginia in Frederick, Shenandoah, and Warren counties. An NRCA?s purpose is to synthesize information on the primary drivers and stressors affecting natural resource conditions, and to report conditions for specific natural resources selected by park managers. Condition assessments were conducted for three of CEBE?s resources?visual resources, night sky, and soundscape?and gap analyses were conducted for two resources?woodlands and meadows. The condition assessment for visual resources, based on an inventory of scenic views at three of the park?s most important viewpoints, led to condition ratings of good/fair for two locations and fair for one location. CEBE?s night sky, assessed using modeled data from the NPS Natural Sounds &amp; Night Skies Division (NSNSD), was found to be about 392% brighter than the natural night sky, leading to a condition rating of fair. To assess CEBE?s soundscape, an NPS NSNSD geospatial model that predicts daytime sound was used. Results indicated a poor condition of sound level park-wide. Stressors for these three resources include adjacent/surrounding residential and commercial development and associated roads, vehicle traffic, and lighting. Both woodlands and meadows were evaluated through gap analyses. Potential stressors on woodlands include non-native invasive plants, non-native invasive insect pests, over-browsing by native white-tailed deer, and climate change. Although some park-specific data exist on these stressors, more information is needed. Similarly, more information is needed on meadows. Most of the data available are related to ongoing work to bring back native vegetation in CEBE?s Morning Attack Trail field.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigated the causes for premature, transverse cracking on urban jointed plain concrete pavements in Illinois. A field survey of 67 sections throughout Illinois coupled with ultrasonic evaluation was completed to synthesize the extent of premature cracking on urban JPCP. The visual survey showed some transverse and longitudinal cracks were a result of improper slab geometry (excessive slab length and width). Ultrasonic tests over the contraction joints determined some notched joints had not activated and adjacent transverse cracks were likely formed as a result. Three-dimensional finite-element analyses confirmed that cracking would not develop as a result of normal environmental factors and slab-base frictional restraint. The concrete mixture also did not appear to be a contributing factor to the premature cracks. Finally, the lack of lubrication on dowel bars was determined to potentially be a primary mechanism that could restrain the transverse contraction joints, produce excessive tensile stresses in the slab, and cause premature transverse cracks to develop.

Abstract:
Within the BMBF funded second phase of the DAM project „Ausschluss mobiler grund-berührender Fischerei (MGF) in marinen Schutzgebieten der Ostsee – Phase II (MGF-Ostsee-II)“ an experimental field study has been conducted to determine the effects of bottom trawling on the benthic ecosystem of the German coastal Baltic Sea. An area characterized with low fishing activity was selected in the Mecklenburger Bight ca. 5 km north of the town Kühlungsborn based on geo-acoustic and sedimentological criteria. In a part of this area referred to as High Impact area, high intensity trawling was simulated by performing several trawls, whereas in the neighboring control area the sediments were undisturbed. Both areas were repeatedly investigated over a period of 3 weeks using biogeochemical sediment analyses, in situ benthic flux measurements and visual seafloor inspection to determine the response and changes of the benthic ecosystem to the trawling impact. Further biogeochemical analyses were conducted in sediment push cores taken by divers from specific sediment features of trawl mark tracks. In addition, physico-chemical investigations were carried out of the suspended particle plume generated during trawling as well as seafloor imaging to decipher the degree of disturbance and redistribution of sediments possibly affecting benthic communities. A total of 97 stations were sampled, including 38 MUC casts, 18 XOFOS surveys, 10 BIGO, 6 DSR and 7 CTD/water sampling rosette deployments. (Alkor-Berichte AL616)
