A Performance

Executive dashboards have become popular in enterprise software applications. Consequently, much advice has been offered by private consulting firms on how best to design dashboards. This paper details a couple of studies testing the advice given by the dashboard experts. The results suggest that some of the notions about how dashboard widgets should be designed might be incorrect. The results indicate that colored widgets are not necessarily inferior to simpler, colorless widgets. Similarly, fancy widgets (i.e., those with three dimensional characteristics) were not demonstrated to be inferior to plainer widgets. While some methodological challenges must be overcome in similar future studies, the results of the described studies do not support some popular ideas about executive dashboards (and data visualization in general), and suggest that the area of interest is ripe for further investigation.

Future Studies

This study compared the development of communication skills in blind and sighted children. The specific skills investigated were the abilities to detect the communication-relevant characteristics of listeners and to construct messages adapted to those characteristics. The participants were 33 blind and 33 sighted children who ranged in age from 5 to 12 ½ and were matched for age, sex, and IQ. No significant differences were found between the two groups on development of these communication skills. However, the author discusses two important factors that should be investigated in future studies.

Interest In Research

- There has been an increased interest in research on paranoia and persecutory delusions. This is partly based on the idea that paranoia exists on a continuum ranging from sub-clinical to clinical levels. One area of interest is in social cognition as it may provide methods to understand how persons with paranoia perceive, interpret, and understand their social world. Previous research has showed that social cognition directly influences or mediates social functioning. Paranoia can be ideally approached from a social cognitive perspective, which makes understanding these processes even more important. For this review, we will focus on the current state of knowledge for paranoia as it pertains to the three primary domains of social cognition: 1) emotion/social perception, 2) theory of mind, and 3) attributional style. Deficits in emotion/social perception appear to be found across the paranoia continuum. In contrast, deficits in theory of mind and attributional style are typically found in persons with clinical levels of paranoia. Future studies should focus on understanding the processes that might underlie the deficits.

The Difference

It has been proved that tobacco is one of the cholesterol dependent risk factors pathogenically, and in addition with other risk factors it may lead to coronary heart disease. Thus, a strong interaction exists between hypercholesterolemia and tobacco ingesting in the genesis of coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to study the effect of tobacco smoking and chewing and compare its effect on lipoproteins. 60 subjects were included in the study, and were grouped into 3 three groups, tobacco smokers, tobacco chewers and tobacco non-abusers. Each group comprises 20 participants: selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Proper sampling and sample processing methods were employed to evaluate lipid profile. Total cholesterol and triglycerides levels were increased in smokers in comparison to non-smokers/non-chewers, and the differences were significant p<0.0001. HDL level was decreased in smokers as compared to non-smokers/non-chewers and the difference was statistically significant p<0.0001. Total cholesterol and LDL levels were increased in smokers in comparison to chewers. HDL level was decreased in chewers as compared to chewers. There was no significant association in any of the parameters. Present study observed increased and significant p<0.0001 differences in levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides while, HDL levels were decreased significantly p<0.0001, and also observed there was no significant difference among tobacco smokers and chewers. This may be a new area of interest for future studies.

An aqueduct of larger-span prestressed concrete arch structure for river diversion project is located in coastal areas, and raises difficult questions on deformation and stability control of the construction process due to greater wind load and poor soil. Due to the limited width of bracket erection, this paper put forward five possible construction schemes, and does the comparative analysis using three-dimensional finite element program, and gets the economic and reasonable one. Finally conduct a pressure test after the bracket erection, and verify the analysis results using measured stress and deformation data.

Proceeding deals with development and testing of the module for GRASS GIS [1], based on Nearest Neighbour Analysis. This method can be useful for assessing whether points located in area of interest are distributed randomly, in clusters or separately. The main principle of the method consists of comparing observed average distance between the nearest neighbours r A to average distance between the nearest neighbours r E that is expected in case of randomly distributed points. The result should be statistically tested. The method for two- or three-dimensional space differs in way how to compute r E . Proceeding also describes extension of mathematical background deriving standard deviation of r E , needed in statistical test of analysis result. As disposition of phenomena (e.g. distribution of birds’ nests or plant species) and test results suggest, anisotropic function would repre- sent relationships between points in three-dimensional space better than isotropic function that was used in this work.

Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of selected parameters of the geometric constraints for cracked plates subjected to tension. The results of three-dimensional numerical calculations were used to assess the distribution of these parameters around the crack front and their changes along the crack front. The study also involved considering the influence of the external load on the averaged values of the parameters of the geometric constraints as well as the relationship between the material constants and the level of the geometric constraints contributing to the actual fracture toughness for certain geometries.
