Cognitive Foundations for Visual Analytics

In this report, we provide an overview of scientific/technical literature on information visualization and VA. Topics discussed include an update and overview of the extensive literature search conducted for this study, the nature and purpose of the field, major research thrusts, and scientific foundations. We review methodologies for evaluating and measuring the impact of VA technologies as well as taxonomies that have been proposed for various purposes to support the VA community. A cognitive science perspective underlies each of these discussions

Learner's dictionary for students and professionals : English for European public health

The idea of developing a Public Health Dictionary has accompanied me since the beginning of adventure with Public Health in 1992 when the fi rst School of Public Health was established in Krakow, Poland. It was not until we received funding from the Leonardo da Vinci Program that the idea could materialize. I gratefully record my obligation to all those who have contributed to this edition of the Public Health Learners’ Dictionary with suggestion, criticism and information. A special thanks should be given to the people who have made a contribution to the collection of words in this dictionary and who have given generously their time to writing defi nitions, suggesting terms, locating existing glossaries. Particular appreciation is due to the staff of the Jagiellonian University Medical Library. All of our collaborators are included in the list of authors, contributors, consultants and assistants

MS FT-2-2 7 Orthogonal polynomials and quadrature: Theory, computation, and applications

Quadrature rules find many applications in science and engineering. Their analysis is a classical area of applied mathematics and continues to attract considerable attention. This seminar brings together speakers with expertise in a large variety of quadrature rules. It is the aim of the seminar to provide an overview of recent developments in the analysis of quadrature rules. The computation of error estimates and novel applications also are described

Generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature and applications

A simple numerical method for constructing the optimal generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas will be presented. These formulas exist in many cases in which real positive GaussKronrod formulas do not exist, and can be used as an adequate alternative in order to estimate the error of a Gaussian rule. We also investigate the conditions under which the optimal averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas and their truncated variants are internal
