Forensic Microbiome Database: A Tool for Forensic Geolocation Meta-Analysis Using Publicly Available 16S rRNA Microbiome Sequencing

The human microbiome has been proposed as a tool to investigate different forensic questions, including for the identification of multiple personal information. However, the fragmented state of the publicly available data has retarded the development of analysis techniques and, therefore, the implementation of microbiomes as a forensic tool. To address this, we introduce the forensic microbiome database (FMD), which is a collection of 16S rRNA data and associated metadata generated from publicly available data. The raw data was further normalized and processed using a pipeline to create a standardized data set for downstream analysis. We present a website allowing for the exploration of geolocation signals in the FMD. The website allows users to investigate the taxonomic differences between microbiomes harvested from different locations and to predict the geolocation of their data based on the FMD sequences. All the results are presented in dynamic graphics to allow for a rapid and intuitive investigation of the taxonomic distributions underpinning the geolocation signals and prediction between locations. Apart from the forensic aspect, the database also allows exploration and comparison of microbiome samples from different geolocation and between different body sites. The goal of the FMD is to provide the scientific and non-scientific communities with data and tools to explore the possibilities of microbiomes to answer forensic questions and serve as a model for any future such databases.1

ASAS-NANP SYMPOSIUM: prospects for interactive and dynamic graphics in the era of data-rich animal science1

Statistical graphics, and data visualization, play an essential but under-utilized, role for data analysis in animal science, and also to visually illustrate the concepts, ideas, or outputs of research and in curricula. The recent rise in web technologies and ubiquitous availability of web browsers enables easier sharing of interactive and dynamic graphics. Interactivity and dynamic feedback enhance human–computer interaction and data exploration. Web applications such as decision support systems coupled with multimedia tools synergize with interactive and dynamic graphics. However, the importance of graphics for effectively communicating data, understanding data uncertainty, and the state of the field of interactive and dynamic graphics is underappreciated in animal science. To address this gap, we describe the current state of graphical methodology and technology that might be more broadly adopted. This includes an explanation of a conceptual framework for effective graphics construction. The ideas and technology are illustrated using publicly available animal datasets. We foresee that many new types of big and complex data being generated in precision livestock farming create exciting opportunities for applying interactive and dynamic graphics to improve data analysis and make data-supported decisions.

The impact of interdisciplinary dynamic images on public perception

Dynamic image, usually defined as motion graphics or dynamic graphics, is a kind of image art based on art design and computer science. In a broad sense, dynamic image is a discipline that integrates animation, film, and graphic design. Its expression content is more refined and straightforward than animated movies. It is more comprehensive than graphic design in conveying information. There are more types of dynamic images in the new media era. There are virtual reality technologies that rely on computer science and interactivity, and there are self-media on the Internet. Together with traditional media, they have more and more impact on the public's cognition. The interdisciplinary dynamic image is a visual language based on the dynamic image and interdisciplinary boundaries. It is main feature is to use dynamic images to express the main content of something, event or thought, a moving image made for the purpose of improving the public’s understanding of the corresponding thing, In the interdisciplinary dynamic images, the concreteness and narrative nature of the dynamic images are weakened, and the non-representation and scientific are more emphasized.

Application Value of Dynamic Graphic in Protection of Social Folklore Tradition-Taking Buyi Wedding Series Dynamic Graphics Design as an Example

With the development of network technology and the change of people’s life style, many social folklore traditions in China are gradually forgotten by people. For this reason, protection of social folklore tradition has received much attention in recent years. Based on the analysis of the cultural origin and characteristics of social folklore tradition, this paper proposes to apply the design and expression methods of dynamic graphic to the protection and dissemination of social folklore tradition in order to show them in a more interesting way. Additionally, taking Buyi wedding series dynamic graphic design as an example aims to better explicate the whole design process. This research is conducive to the establishment of social folklore tradition and new media connection, and close to its integration into people's modern life. It can be predicted that the new media based on network technology will become one of the important and efficient means to protect the social folklore tradition.

Immediate impact of dynamic graphics instruction on learners of varied levels of spatial ability

Spatial ability is a skill set that has shown to be vital to success in a variety of academic disciplines and professional careers, particularly in engineering- and technology-related fields. Various instructional mediums such as animation, video, and static graphics are utilized by educators as a means to help develop and promote spatial ability. The effort to produce some of these instructional tools can be considerable. The impact of each form of media used can also impact retention and application in learners of varying levels of spatial ability. This study investigated the immediate impact of static graphics, animation, and video on mental rotation abilities of non-engineering university students with varying levels of spatial ability at a midwestern university. Statistical significance was not found between each of the groups, but multiple interactions were observed that posit that a single form media may not be the solution for all learners. Educators should weigh the cognitive task and the abilities of learners prior to selecting the media. Where possible multiple forms of instructional tools should be made available to cater to the classroom.

On the Application of Dynamic Logos in Brand Image Design

<p>Market competition is increasingly fierce in the new era. Enterprises must focus on establishing their good brand images in order to occupy a favorable position in the competition. The effective application of dynamic logos in brand image design can make logos develop towards three-dimensional or even multi-dimensional space, enriching and diversifying brand logos through dynamic graphics, personalized voice, rich colors, <em>etc.</em></p>
