Computer-based technologies for the production and analysis of data have been an integral part of biological research since the 1990s at the latest. This not only applies to genomics and its offshoots but also to less conspicuous subsections such as ecology. But little considera…
This edited book explores the use of technology to enable us to visualise the life sciences in a more meaningful and engaging way. It will enable those interested in visualisation techniques to gain a better understanding of the applications that can be used in visualisation, im…
Using Power Query, you can import, reshape, and cleanse any data from a simple interface, so you can mine that data for all of its hidden insights. Power Query is embedded in Excel, Power BI, and other Microsoft products, and leading Power Query expert Gil Raviv will help you ma…
Data analysis enables you to generate value from small and big data by discovering new patterns and trends, and Python is one of the most popular tools for analyzing a wide variety of data. With this book, you'll get up and running using Python for data analysis by exploring the…
Traditional 3D computer graphics focus on rendering the exterior of objects. Volume rendering is a technique used to visualize information corresponding to the interior of an object, commonly used in medical imaging and other fields. Visualization of such data may be accomplishe…
Inferring population structure is important for several applications in medical and population genetic studies. However, the output of population structure inference methods can often be challenging to interpret. The goal of this dissertation is to apply population structure inf…
People cannot stop thinking. In my opinion, the process of thinking itself—questioning, arguing, exchanging information and ideas—is a more meaningful experience than the result of such thinking. As René Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am”.
Historic open data can be an asset to community gardens in land use disputes, the preservation and sharing of cultural traditions, and adaptation to climate change. Yet scholarship has not yet provided an accessible guide to the many issues of labor and technology involved in pr…
History provides context for the present. In the same way, past user interactions provide context for present explorations. This thesis investigates ways to reify user interaction history to address emerging challenges in the design and programming of human-data interfaces.
Natural history collections (NHCs) play an irreplaceable role in research of global importance. Data have become central to how NHCs manage and share their holdings, and how they quantify their impact. Data visualization has rich potential for addressing NHCs’ specific objective…
"This book shows how to model disease risk and quantify risk factors using areal and geostatistical data. It also shows how to create interactive maps of disease risk and risk factors, and describes how to build interactive dashboards and Shiny web applications that facilitate t…

In Wild Blue Media, Melody Jue destabilizes terrestrial-based ways of knowing and reorients our perception of the world by considering the ocean itself as a media environment-a place where the weight and opacity of seawater transforms how information is created, stored, transmit…
The author uses examples from art, design, business, statistics, cartography, and online media, to explore concepts and ideas about illustrating data.
This book includes research articles and expository papers on the applications of artificial intelligence and big data analytics to battle the pandemic. In the context of COVID-19, this book focuses on how big data analytic and artificial intelligence help fight COVID-19. The bo…
