Sistema de visualización para asistir la navegación dentro de un foro de discusión en línea

Hemos desarrollado una herramienta de visualización que permite a los usuarios de un foro de discusión navegar gráficamente a través del mismo. El proyecto incluye el diseño de una metáfora de visualización que destaca las características de los elementos del foro (categorías, sub-categorías, hilos y mensajes) y la implementación de la misma. También, se crearon filtros que permiten la interacción con el usuario y se incluyó un motor de búsqueda textual. El prototipo fue validado con datos reales tomados del foro de discusión perteneciente al proyecto open source “Processing”. / Abstract. We have developed a visualization tool that enables the users of a discussion forum to navigate graphically through it. The project includes the design of a visualization metaphor that highlights some characteristics of the elements in the forum such as categories, subcategories, threads, and the implementation thereof. Also some filters that allow interaction with the user were created, included a textual search engine. The prototype was tested with actual data taken from the discussion forum that belongs to the open source project of the Processing languageMaestrí

A Technology for Deblurring Astronomical Images

This paper focuses on a specific technology for deblurring astronomical images. Data are collected as digital matrices of image pixels. The technology reconstructs the object via computational manipulation of the blurred image. Dr Stuart Jefferies, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, GSU, along with several colleagues developed a sequence of techniques over three decades, based on a single, powerful idea. Supported for a time by the US Air Force AMOS project and drawing on compatible ideas from physics, engineering, mathematics and computer science, they learned to extract more and more useful information from the raw data. Jefferies took the idea of blind deconvolution and, with his network, developed it into a powerful and adaptable tool for scientific knowledge making and an efficient and effective applied technology for an important national security mission. We have located this work in the very long tradition of astronomical image making and in the more recent context of big science projects funded by government for military necessities. Galileo is celebrated as the first person to publish hand-drawn images from observing the night sky through a telescope. Indeed, hand-drawings were the only way to convey images of the night sky for over two hundred years, until the development of photography in the mid-1800s. Photography dominated astronomical image making for another hundred years. Today, we live in an era of huge sets of digital data. The infrastructure required to generate, transmit and analyze such data requires huge budgets. Hence the need for public funding. In addition to scientific knowledge making and applied technology development, we noted that an important legacy of big, government funded, science project can be the building of institutions that outlive the original project, but carry-on related work. The GSU Imaging Innovation Hub, championed by Jefferies, follows that tradition

How to Get Around MIT

How to Get Around MIT (also known as HowToGAMIT was a fully comprehensive, independent student- produced guide to MIT, Cambridge and Boston. It was designed to welcome all new members of the MIT community and to act as a reference book for those whom have been here a while. All incoming first year undergraduate students received free copies of the book, as did most incoming graduate students and many staff and postdoctoral associates. The book contained sections relating to emergency information, academics, life and culture at MIT, activities and facilities, and things to do around MIT and in the greater Boston area: shopping, sightseeing, restaurants and entertainment. It also contained advice on everything from how best to find an apartment in the area to what you should and shouldn't do if you were arrested
