This study delves into the challenging task of determining the representative elementary volume (REV) in porous media, crucial for accurate analyses. Two novel algorithms, Center-Corner Cubes Growing (3CG) and Random Cubes Growing (RCG), were proposed and tested on synthetic body-centered cubic (BCC) sphere packing and natural porous structures of Berea sandstone and Indiana limestone, obtained using µCT. First algorithm (3CG) operates by analyzing porosity within cubes growing from each of the eight corners and a central region of a 3D binarized stack. In contrast, the Random Cube Growing (RCG) algorithm randomly selects seed points within the 3D stack and grows cubic regions around them. Both algorithms systematically compute porosity for various cube sizes, determining the average porosity and standard deviation for each extent. These visual analytics tools contribute to identifying the specific size ranges where porosity curves converge and stabilize, indicating potential REV within the material. While 3CG simplifies the approach by focusing on a limited number of curves, RCG provides a broader view, capturing diverse porosity patterns. The absence of consistent local minima in certain cases indicates high porosity heterogeneity and the impossibility of achieving REV in certain sample sizes.","PeriodicalId":38328,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Visualization","volume":"1020 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140774834","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}

Each intermediate visualization from the state graph is transferred into the multidimensional Euclidean data space formed on the basis of the visualized ontology, which allows to calculate weighting coefficients on the state graph edges and to search the graph using known algorithms. Application of the model allows for a reduction in the labor intensity of executing user scripts due to the reduction of step-by-step visualization creation to the task of searching in the state space.","PeriodicalId":38328,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Visualization","volume":"146 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139013651","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 impact of visualization and its effect on learning the results of interaction with multimedia instruction reveals a great deal. Eye tracking is the method used to examine the graphical processing. Therefore, the present study aims to examine computer interactions and infographic usability by conducting verbal and visual performances test on undergraduates. The 62 undergraduate females were recruited as the study sample and presented the video of Napoleon's march to Moscow. This study identifies how long, where, and in what order or when accompanied with text and what’s the participant's pattern on Minard maps. The performance test scores and the verbal visual learning style rating included the visual and verbal variables. The tools that are used to enhance the results are heat maps, cluster and scan paths. The 62 undergraduate females results shows that there is a fundamental difference in verbal and visual learning participants in viewing pattern on the heat map. The heat maps, clusters, and scan paths were combined for the distinct groups to provide a more complete picture of viewing patterns using Tobii Studio Software. The study results indicate that visual content was remembered by most of the participants and also indicated that the visual effects in multimedia learning environments and can be utilized to improve the multimedia design.

The histological structure of testicular tissue in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia is heterogeneous and is represented by various disorders of spermatogenesis. The only way to achieve pregnancy in the families of patients with non-obstructive azoospermia is the method of in vitro fertilization with intracellular sperm injection. The most effective method of detecting spermatozoa suitable for in vitro fertilization in testicles is the micro-TESE method. It is based on a subjective visual assessment of tissues and allows detecting spermatozoa in non-obstructive azoospermia only in 38-60% of cases. To increase the effectiveness of micro-TESE, the method used must be objective, high-specific, safe for reproductive cells, and also implemented during the operation in real time. The existing approaches to solving the problem of identifying seminal tubules with preserved spermatogenesis, such as multiphoton microscope, Raman spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography and etc., are either associated with the use of laser radiation with unproven safety or cannot be implemented intraoperatively and operationally. The paper considers the possibility of creating a specialized microsurgical system for intraoperative evaluation of testicular tissues histological structure using the spatial distribution of its spectral characteristics. We proposed to implement such a system based on multispectral imaging of the studied tissues with real-time data processing and displaying the results using augmented reality methods. The reflectance spectrum of testicular tissue with varying degrees of preservation of spermatogenesis in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges was studied. Spectral regions were identified that potentially provide the best differentiation of healthy tissues and tissues with impaired spermatogenesis. The described approach can be implemented intraoperatively and safely and may serve to automate and objectify the diagnosis of testicular tissues in micro-TESE.","PeriodicalId":38328,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Visualization","volume":"149 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139021308","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 difference from the qualitative flow pattern according to experimental spectra at M≈4 and M≈5.5 lies in the presence, in addition to the formation of a breakaway flow zone in front of the shield, an oblique jump of the seal (from the point of separation of the flow) and a more intense direct jump of the seal, the possibility of the appearance of a flow separation zone induced by the shield on the side of the model surface opposite the shield, with the formation of an oblique jump of the seal.
