Although several genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in AD risks, no single factor is found solely responsible for disease manifestation in all Alzheimer's cases. In cases when no single gene can explain causality, the scenario of a combination of factors with modest effect sizes has been suggested. Through means of visual analysis in Weave we uncovered and further strengthened growing evidence for the link between genetics, air pollution and an earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease as exemplified in US cities with the highest reported levels of toxicity. Major sources of bias impacting our dataset are examined to caution the reader about the value of correlation findings in this less than ideal study sample.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131524711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim with this paper is to provide the reader with knowledge about the method and awareness of what issues that call for refined or supplemental actions and resources in order for it to generate as valid and useful results as possible.

Our calculations describe how to automatically derive horizontal and vertical shift values.

As such, this paper conducts a consumer-oriented experiment on characteristic toys to determine how to best meet consumers' preferences for new product design. The characteristic toy is a good illustration to be an application of art and design, because it is not only one type of craft art, but also a commercial product. The characteristic toy has two features simultaneously of craft art and product design. In this study, the new approach proposed consists of two main methods, i.e. the quantification theory type I (QTTI) and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). There are three QTTI models used to build a design decision support database. According to the design decision support database, a QTTI-based TOPSIS model is used to help product designers to obtain the optimal design alternatives that best meet consumers' preferences.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128581291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
