The database provides high-resolution (4-km, hourly) information of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and isolated deep convection events (IDC) east of the Rocky Mountains over the contiguous United States from 2004 – 2017. The database contains various characteristics of MCSs and IDC, such as...
This year’s VAST Challenge focuses on visual analytics applications for both large scale situation analysis and cyber security. We have two mini-challenges to test your analytical skills and confound your visual analytics applications. In the first mini-challenge, (the imaginary) BankWorld's largest...
The VAST 2010 Challenge consisted of three mini-challenges (MC) and one Grand Challenge (GC). Each MC had a data set, instructions and a number of questions to be answered. The GC required participants to pull together information from all three data sets and write a debrief summarizing the...
The VAST 2009 Challenge scenario concerned a fictitious, cyber security event. An employee leaked important information from an embassy to a criminal organization. Participants were asked to discover the identity ofthe employee and the structure of the criminal organization. Participants were...
Mini Challenge 1: Wiki Editors The Paraiso movement is controversial and is having considerable social impact in a specific area of the world. We have extracted a segment of the Paraiso (the movement) Wikipedia edits page. Please note this is not the Paraiso Manifesto Wiki page which is part of the...
It is Fall of 2004 and one of your analyst colleagues has been called away from her current tasks to an emergency. The boss has given you the assignment of picking up her investigation and completing her task. She has been asked to pursue a line of investigation into some unexpected activities...
Dataset The dataset will consist of: About 1200 news stories from the Alderwood Daily News plus a few other items collected by the previous investigators A few photos A few maps of Alderwood and vicinity (in bitmap image form) A few files with other mixed materials, e.g. a spreadsheet with voter...
The literature on the effects of radiation on the properties of various polymers and composites has been briefly reviewed for the purpose of identifying polymeric materials that could be irradiated to improve their performance. Radiation treatment of polymers may lead to cross-linking or chain...
Scientific advancements in healthcare driven both by technological breakthroughs and an aging and increasingly obese population have lead to a changing medical device market. Complex products and devices are being developed to meet the demands of leading edge medical procedures.Specialized materials...
An alternative method is presented for determining the maximum acceptable dose in products irradiated in electron beam processes. When the presentation of an individual product to the radiation field results in a high dose uniformity ratio, this can present a challenge for accurate testing of a...
Ionizing radiation has been found to be widely applicable in modifying the structure and properties of polymers, and can be used to tailor the performance of either bulk materials or surfaces. Fifty years of research in polymer radiation chemistry has led to numerous applications of commercial and...
Today, the most common methods used for medical device sterilisation are by gaseous ethylene oxide and by electron beam or gamma irradiation. With X-ray sterilisation about to enter the market, its material compatibility needs to be assessed at doses typically encountered during a sterilisation...
The year 2014 solution files are based on model calibration effort based on inputs and data from Year 2014 as described in Khangaonkar et al. 2018). It includes water surface elevation, currents, temperature and salinity at an hourly interval. These netcdf files with 24 hourly records include...
