The complexity of the human brain makes its understanding one of the biggest challenges that science is currently confronting. Due to its complexity, the brain has been studied at many different levels and from many disciplines and points of view, using a ...
In this article, we show how postphenomenology can be used to analyze a visual method that reveals the hidden dynamics that exist between individuals within large organizations. We make use of the Affinity Map to expand the classic postphenomenology that p ...
Communication of data associated with chemical structures in a concise fashion can be challenging. Here, we describe an alternative to the classic substrate table that integrates numerical data with struttural changes. These radial-scopeplots facilitate th ...
Exploration methods combine parametric energy assessments and data visualization to support building designers at early design stages. When exploration methods come to Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) assessment, a larger ...
This article explores how readers recognize their personal identities represented through data visualizations. The recognition is investigated starting from three definitions captured by the philosopher Paul Ricoeur: the identification with the visualizati ...
Data visualization is a recent domain that founds his roots in the eighties, but its history dates back to more ancient times in other representations such as diagrams, drawings, or maps. In particular, data visualization is hard to take advantage of the h ...
This would be an introduction to the domain of data visualization. The presentation core is composed of a series of examples organized in three time-based sections: classic visualizations (18th and 19th centuries), modern visualizations (20th century), and ...

The evolution of technologies makes surveying accessible to a broader community of professionals and students. Therefore, teaching geomatics is a continuous challenge. This article presents an original pedagogical approach based on a teaching unit gatherin ...
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years of operation (2014 July-2017 July). This is the third data release for SDSS-I ...
