Abstract:
The popularity and the appeal of horror media among Indonesian have been explicated as a close relation to the psyche of Indonesians which is generally inherent to the Eastern culture. This specific pattern of preferences rooted in Indonesians’ cultural fixation has been profited off across many forms of popular media; from radio broadcasts to online podcasts, from TV series to cinematic movies, and from printed comics to webtoons. Webtoon or webcomic is a term originally coined in Korea to refer to a form of graphic narrative that interweaves words and images as also found in printed comic, however, its utilization of digital information technologies implies a fundamental difference between the two. Webtoon’s vertical orientation is also one of the few discrete factors that excludes webtoon from the printed comic category. This research aims to find out how the visual narrative structures of Indonesian horror webtoon are particularly employed in evoking fear within the readers’ minds by examining some representative examples of popular Indonesian horror webtoon: Creep by Ino Septian and Gloomy Sunday by Fanky Landerson. This analysis is conducted by applying Zpalanzani-Tabrani and Cohn's triangulation analysis model enhanced by adding the structural affect theory of stories developed by Brewer and Lichtenstein and some supplemental analysis units such as gutter space and color analyses. This study suggests that there are some idiomatic similarities between Indonesian horror webtoons and horror films in general, both in terms of visual composition and units and in terms of sequence to construct a sense of suspense in an engaging and ceaseless horror experience. These findings are applicable to obtain an effective formulation in designing horror webtoon for Indonesian readers on one hand, and to draw out some encouraging remarks for further improvement on some aspects on the other hand.

Abstract:
This study was conducted with the objective of finding the perceivable effect of figures and backgrounds on residential streetscapes and their connections in visual complexity. The visual complexity depends on the extent of information a viewer can observe from a visible area. The information includes a number of visual elements along the streetscapes and their diversity and interconnections. The aim of this research was to analyze the structural hierarchical visual complexity of the streetscapes, caused by varied spatial arrangement and numerous spatial connections of the perceivable visual elements. The visual elements of 60 residential streetscapes were classified into figures and backgrounds using human perception of 20 subjects. The identified figures and backgrounds were arranged in a taxonomic diagram representing their connections. These taxonomic diagrams reflect the structural hierarchical visual complexity. Finally, taxonomic entropy was applied to statistically analyze the structural hierarchical visual complexity. When the taxonomic diagram is vertically and horizontally lengthy and the arrangement of the elements of taxonomic diagram is irregular, the complexity increases depicting a large number of figures whose spatial connections impart a high visual complexity to the streetscapes.

Abstract:
Colourful ornaments often communicate salient information to mates, and theory predicts covariance between signal expression and individual quality. This has borne out among pigment-based signals, but the potential for ‘honesty’ in structural coloration is unresolved. Here, I synthesized the available evidence to test this prediction via meta-analysis and found that, overall, the expression of structurally coloured sexual signals is positively associated with individual quality. The effects varied by the measure of quality, however, with body condition and immune function reliably encoded across taxa, but not age nor parasite resistance. The relationship was apparent for both the colour and brightness of signals and was slightly stronger for iridescent ornaments. These results suggest diverse pathways to the encoding and exchange of information among structural colours while highlighting outstanding questions as to the development, visual ecology and evolution of this striking adornment.

Abstract:
Abstract Patients with visual snow syndrome suffer from a continuous pan-field visual disturbance, additional visual symptoms, tinnitus, and non-perceptional symptoms. The pathophysiology of visual symptoms might involve dysfunctional visual cortex. So far, the extra-visual system has not been investigated. We aimed at identifying structural and functional correlates for visual and non-visual symptoms in visual snow syndrome. Patients were compared to age- and sex-matched controls using 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose PET (n = 20 per group) and voxel-based morphometry (n = 17 per group). Guided by the PET results, region of interest analysis was done in voxel-based morphometry to identify structural-functional correspondence. Grey matter volume was assessed globally. Patients had corresponding hypermetabolism and cortical volume increase in the extrastriate visual cortex at the junction of the right lingual and fusiform gyrus. There was hypometabolism in the right superior temporal gyrus and the left inferior parietal lobule. Patients had grey matter volume increases in the temporal and limbic lobes and decrease in the superior temporal gyrus. The corresponding structural and functional alterations emphasize the relevance of the visual association cortex for visual snow syndrome. The broad structural and functional footprint, however, confirms the clinical impression that the disorder extends beyond the visual system.

Abstract:
Abstract The present study propounds a novel discourse-semantic approach that problematizes the social semiotic analysis of visual narrative in two respects: (i) the lack of a model that can explain the plurifunctional structure of visual acts of communication in general and (ii) the failure to provide the deep structure underlying the characters and/or objects in visual narrative in particular. Redressing these two shortcomings, the approach is methodologically geared towards analysing the visual narrative grammar that encodes the 2017 BBC image-enabled news story of Islamic State (IS). The proposed approach rests on two theoretical models: (i) Roman Jakobson’s (1960) communication model of language functions; (ii) Algirdas Julien Greimas’s (1966, 1987) structural-semantic model of actant grammar. The study has reached two major findings. First, theoretically, the visual narrative analysis of images demands the presence of both (1) a theory that can adequately explain the plurifunctional structure associated with the semiotic complexity of visual communication and (2) a structural-semantic model that reveals the deep structure of the actants that enable the dramatis personae to relate to the events featuring in the mono-/multimodal discourse of narrative. Second, on a practical level of the BBC’s visual storyline, IS has been represented within three actant-based enunciation-spectacles: (a) victimhood with Subject versus Object, (b) beneficiariness with Sender versus Receiver, and (c) villainy (self-presented and other-presented) with Opponent/Victim versus Helper.

Abstract:
The effectiveness of using the field diagnosis and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) mechanistic analysis in reducing a 65-km (40-mi) segment of asphalt pavement to project level segments is discussed, along with selecting a cost-effective rehabilitation strategy. A mechanistic-based analysis was performed on the deflection basins measured from I-85 in Virginia to backcalculate the layer moduli. The 65-km segment was divided into structurally homogeneous sections based on the back-calculated layer moduli. The data of each homogeneous section were analyzed further to assess the in situ structural capacity, to identify weak layers, to estimate the remaining structural life, and to determine the current and future rehabilitation needs. It was found that some sections have almost no remaining structural life, and others have remaining structural life of more than 10 years. A comparison was made between the FWD–field diagnosis rehabilitation program and a visual inspection rehabilitation program. Results of the comparison indicated that the visual inspection rehabilitation program resulted in selecting thicker overlays for some of the project sections (overdesigned) and thinner overlays for the other sections (underdesigned). It is estimated that the difference between the FWD–field diagnosis rehabilitation program and the visual inspection rehabilitation program for the overdesigned sections is in the range of 45 percent of the construction cost (savings). Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) was performed to quantify the difference between the two rehabilitation programs for the underdesigned sections. Results of the LCCA indicated that the FWD–field diagnosis rehabilitation program would result in 26 percent and 42 percent reduction in the construction cost and user delay cost, respectively.

Abstract In this study, we first performed a comprehensive structural analysis of four models of radiosondes (devices intended for use as the meteorological probe of a sounding balloon) manufactured by three different companies – Graw, Vaisala and Meteomodem. The radiosondes were disassembled for visual inspection and manual measurement, three-dimensional computed tomography images were taken of their inner structure, and the outer shapes of the radiosondes were scanned with a structured-light three-dimensional scanner. The structural properties of the radiosondes thus identified were then compared to one other, based on which the Meteomodem M10 was ranked as the least harmful in a potential collision. Next, the Meteomodem M10 radiosonde was used in collision tests with a heavy target and with a pumpkin model, in order to evaluate the possible damage caused by and to the radiosonde in different types of collisions.

Abstract:
Appearance models play an important role in visual tracking. Effective modeling of the appearance of tracked objects is still a challenging problem because of object appearance changes caused by factors, such as partial occlusion, illumination variation and deformation, etc. In this paper, we propose a tracking method based on the patch descriptor and the structural local sparse representation. In our method, the object is firstly divided into multiple non-overlapped patches, and the patch sparse coefficients are obtained by structural local sparse representation. Secondly, each patch is further decomposed into several sub-patches. The patch descriptors are defined as the proportion of sub-patches, of which the reconstruction error is less than the given threshold. Finally, the appearance of an object is modeled by the patch descriptors and the patch sparse coefficients. Furthermore, in order to adapt to appearance changes of an object and alleviate the model drift, an outlier-aware template update scheme is introduced. Experimental results on a large benchmark dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:
The concept of practice occurs frequently in current research about the visual. However, the term remains problematic as it cannot always clarify the complexity of the topic. Following an initial discussion of the subject area and central questions of a sociology of visual communication, I proceed to show that visual practices are embedded in many different social structures that condition forms of practice. This aspect is reflected on theoretically with reference to the concept of artifacts outlined by Herbert Simons in Sciences of the Artificial. As Simons does not seek to establish any connection to sociology, his thoughts must first be developed for the discipline. This is achieved, inter alia, by taking up the structural concepts of Giddens and Luhmann. Having established this background, the notion of practice is reconsidered in relation to the structures of social realities and to a concept of the sociology of visual communication. In the discussion, methodological and methodical conclusions are drawn from these conceptual considerations, which are important for the further development of the analysis of the visual.

Abstract The morphology of the amorphous, gelatinous, and crystalline varieties of monoclonal IgG cryoglobulins was analyzed by light and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Each cryoglobulin had a characteristic fine structure that correlated with its gross morphology. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the amorphous precipitates were random and disorganized molecular clumps. In contrast, cryogels were thin-walled, well-organized, and hydrated strawlike clusters, whereas cryocrystals formed tightly compacted, highly structured molecular clusters. Crystals that formed in blood produced rouleaux, and analysis by scanning electron microscopy indicated that the crystals could form thick-walled, branching, macromolecular nets that could physically trap cells. The morphological properties provided visual impressions by which cryoglobulins could cause clinical disease secondary to vascular occlusion produced by self- associated IgG cryoglobulin molecules.

Abstract:
Smart Assistive Technologies (SAT) can be a powerful tool in supporting education environments and inclusion for learners with visual/hearing impairments. For example, while captions in videos are a necessity for deaf users, audio reading is inevitable for blind ones. Including such technologies into a smart e-learning environment provide huge opportunities to customize the content presentation to needs and ability of learners. Despite the number of models being introduced during the last decade, acceptance model and behavioral model are, yet, exhibiting design drawbacks for learners with visual and hearing impairments. Meanwhile, the e-learning initiatives in the universities have paid great efforts in order to optimize usability of conventional e-learning systems. However, optimizing assistive e-learning systems is not covered in the recent research. Central to e-learning optimization is the learners’ realization problem; in terms of the size of gap between learners’ expectations and real interaction measures. This paper presents a study of measure the usability of assistive e-learning systems and modeling better interaction based on adjusted Fitt’s Law to consider time of movement for assistive technologies embedded in e-learning systems. The proposed usability evaluation considers the hardness of mental operations during e-learning various activities.

Abstract Toxoplasma gondii infects almost all the warm-blooded animals. ROP20 protein is expressed in the rhoptry of Toxoplasma gondii. In this study, the secondary structure of ROP20 was analyzed using SMART software. We constructed and analyzed the 3D model of ROP20 protein using SWISS-MODEL online procedure and Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) software. The structure analysis fully indicated that ROP20 protein is an important member of the ROP family. Furthermore, We used DNASTAR software and Epitope Database online service to analyze liner-B cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes of ROP20 protein. All the analysis results of ROP20 protein can provide positive information on treatment and vaccine for toxoplasmosis. Moreover, ROP20 gene was obtained from PCR, and a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector (pEGFP-C1-ROP20) was constructed in the following study. After restriction enzyme digestion, the constructed plasmid was transfected into HEK 293-T cells. The RT-PCR result indicated that the recombinant plasmid could transcribe successfully in HEK 293-T cell. The results of western blotting indicated the expressed proteins can be recognized by anti-STAg mouse sera.

Growing evidence suggests secondary damage to remote visual structures may contribute to vision loss in patients with chiasmatic compression. The present study leverages ultrahigh field 7-T MRI to study the retinotopic organization of the primary visual cortex (V1), and correlates visual defects with cortical thinning in V1 to characterize consequences of pituitary adenomas on the posterior visual system.METHODSEight patients (4 males and 4 females, mean age 44.3 years) with pituitary adenomas who exhibited chiasmatic compression and visual field defects, as well as 8 matched healthy controls (4 males and 4 females, mean age 43.3 years), were scanned at 7-T MRI for this prospective study. Whole-brain cortical thickness was calculated using an automated algorithm. A previously published surface-based algorithm was applied to associate the eccentricity and polar angle with each position in V1. Cortical thickness was calculated at each point in the retinotopic organization, and a cortical thickness ratio was generated against matched controls for each point in the visual fields. Patients with adenoma additionally underwent neuroophthalmological examination including 24–2 Humphrey automated visual field perimetry. Pattern deviation (PD) of each point in the visual field, i.e., the deviation in point detection compared with neurologically healthy controls, was correlated with cortical thickness at corresponding polar and eccentricity angles in V1.RESULTSWhole-brain cortical thickness was successfully derived for all patients and controls. The mean tumor volume was 19.4 cm3. The median global thickness of V1 did not differ between patients (mean ± SD 2.21 ± 0.12 cm), compared with controls (2.06 ± 0.13 cm, p > 0.05). Surface morphometry–based retinotopic maps revealed that all 8 patients with adenoma showed a significant positive correlation between PD and V1 thickness ratios (r values ranged from 0.31 to 0.53, p < 0.05). Mixed-procedure analysis revealed that PD = −8.0719 + 5.5873*[Median V1 Thickness Ratio].CONCLUSIONSAll 8 patients showed significant positive correlations between V1 thickness and visual defect. These findings provide retinotopic maps of localized V1 cortical neurodegeneration spatially corresponding to impairments in the visual field. These results further characterize changes in the posterior visual pathway associated with chiasmatic compression, and may prove useful in the neuroophthalmological workup for patients with pituitary macroadenoma.

Abstract:
The dynamic performance of numerical control (NC) machine is not only basis of evaluation for the vibration resistance and stability, but also theory basis of optimizing dynamic performance, and improving processed quality. As digital design method, visual design realizes "visibility" during the whole design process, increases design efficiency and guarantees the quality, which make visual design preferred design method in large mechanical engineering. In this paper, the analysis of dynamic performance on NC machine and visual design method will be integrated, taking a NC machining center built by Shenyang machine tool group as a study case, the dynamic visual design flow to be proposed, including the design purpose, content and design methods, finally, the dynamic performance of visual simulation we have done, taking the strength, inherent characteristics and harmonic response into account, offers the foundation about structural performance optimization on the machine.

Abstract:
An image quality matrix provides a significant principle for objectively observing an image based on an alteration between the original and distorted images. During the past two decades, a novel universal image quality assessment has been developed with the ability of adaptation with human visual perception for measuring the difference of a degraded image from the reference image, namely a structural similarity index. Structural similarity has since been widely used in various sectors, including medical image evaluation. Although numerous studies have reported the use of structural similarity as an evaluation strategy for computer-based medical images, reviews on the prospects of using structural similarity for medical imaging applications have been rare. This paper presents previous studies implementing structural similarity in analyzing medical images from various imaging modalities. In addition, this review describes structural similarity from the perspective of a family’s historical background, as well as progress made from the original to the recent structural similarity, and its strengths and drawbacks. Additionally, potential research directions in applying such similarities related to medical image analyses are described. This review will be beneficial in guiding researchers toward the discovery of potential medical image examination methods that can be improved through structural similarity index.

Abstract:
The author analyzes the special type of imagery, that is kaleidoscopic image, and investigates its evolution in photography, video and multimedia from the first vortograph (photo, taken through the prism of the mirrored glasses in 1917 by Alvin Langdon Coburn) until nowdays. The author combines empirical methods with the theoretical analysis. For the first time in the humanitarian historiography a huge package of kaleidoscopic photos, video and multimedia images was collected and systematized. The collection includes works of several dozens artists, some of them interviewed by the author of the research. As a result the author proposes the classification based on the subject regimentation: the entire aggregation of the assembled materials is divided into three main groups - the human body, the nature objects, the architecture. The images in each group are analyzed with respect to their structural features, composition and semantics, creation technology. Two structural features were singled out as unifying for all three groups: ambivalent character of the kaleidoscopic image as a symmetrically organized chaos, as well as a trend to transform a realistic recognizable subject into an abstract pattern. Kaleidoskoping is considered to be of the form generated mechanisms not only in the visual arts, but also in practice-oriented areas: design and graphic design, textile industry and fashion, ceramics, glass industry, etc.

Abstract:
Background/Objective:Diffuse temporal lobe abnormalities can be observed on MRI of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Our objective was to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of temporal lobe structures in patients with familial MTLE (FMTLE) and nonfamilial MTLE.Methods:Two groups of patients were ascertained: 67 FMTLE patients (14 with refractory seizures) and 30 patients with nonfamilial refractory MTLE. We performed qualitative analyses of MRI (with multiplanar reconstruction) and volumes of hippocampi and anterior temporal lobes in all patients, and in a normal control group of 23 individuals. We used the Chi-square test and ANOVA for statistical analyses.Results:We identified anterior temporal lobe abnormalities by visual analysis in only 4% of FMTLE patients and atrophy of the anterior temporal lobe by volumetric analysis in 19%. In the group of nonfamilial MTLE patients we found anterior temporal lobe abnormalities by visual analysis in 17% of patients and anterior temporal lobe atrophy in 13%. Hippocampal atrophy was present in 90% of FMTLE and in 83% of nonfamilial MTLE. No signs of cortical dysplasia were observed.Conclusion:Anterior temporal lobe atrophy and other abnormalities outside the mesial portion of temporal lobes were infrequent in both familial and nonfamilial MTLE patients. Despite the genetic basis, hippocampal atrophy in FMTLE is not associated with other abnormalities outside the mesial temporal regions.

Abstract:
Structural condition assessment was conducted to a single-story, steel-framed maintenance plant. The assessment procedure aimed to ensure safe and sound operation of the existing structure, to determine its remaining service life as well as to propose the appropriate remedial actions for the existing structure. The assessment was performed through visual observation, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), field load testing, also by carrying out structural analysis upon verified structural model. Corrosion and buckling are the main types of deterioration found within the structure owing to high salinity and slender steel sections. Structural analysis gave maximum stress ratio of 0.374. Static load testing resulted in deflection value of 17 mm, while dynamic load testing resulted in dynamic amplification factor of 1.06. In conclusion, the existing structure is considered to be structurally safe and sound with remaining service life of approximately 36 years and subjected to structural maintenance and strengthening.

Abstract:
The analysis of the visual language of the product demands deeper analysis of the user’s profile and built behavioral patterns. There is an existing group of factors that have relatively constant nature - gender differentiation, age differentiation, belongingness to specific group – social status, place in hierarchy, race, religion, people with special needs, etc. The analysis of the visual language of the product can be done by analyzing the basic arsenal of the composition - the means of composing form shaping: scale –related to the correct size of the products and their components; proportions –associated with organizing the form plastical and visual order of the whole and its parts; contrast - related to the shape of the product, semantical or bounded to past experience; color –bounded to both formal characteristics and plasticity, as well as to contrast and its meaningful designation; plastic of the form - linked to the proportions and scale, which determines not only the structural and formal characteristics of the products, but also the meaningful reading of the forms. The analysis of the individual composite devices is demonstrated by Ingo Maurer’s lighting fixtures.

Abstract:
This article presents a qualitative research method, Visual Network Analysis (VNA), which is theoretically situated within the relational turn, and more particularly within sociomaterial and sociotopological approaches. Both approaches consider both human and nonhuman entities in social practices, and adopt a relational perspective in order to study these practices. VNA provides innovative tools for qualitatively analyzing social situations by constructing, analyzing and interpreting visual networks based on tailored observatory and/or interview techniques. To that effect, VNA adopts the notion ‘network’ as a method (rather than as a structural representation of social life) that allows to trace the complex entanglements by means of which specific practices are constituted. The article presents the process of conducting VNA by focusing on four key steps: collecting and coding relational data; visualizing network diagrams through software; analyzing the form of these diagrams; and interpreting the resulting visualizations by offering narrative readings of these forms (focused on the effects they generate). The article concludes with some reflections on the assets and potential of the method proposed.

Abstract:
Visual-motor abilities in infants were investigated within a neo-Piagetian framework of development. Case's (1985) theory of intellectual development provided the conceptual base for this study. The study's objective was to establish whether development in the motor domain proceeds in a stagelike fashion. This aim was addressed by (a) the development of a model that suggested how the structural changes, as specified by Case's theory, might manifest themselves in the subdomain of the use of an object to execute a simple motor response and (b) the measurement of infants' performances on a set of newly constructed tasks designed to assess the sequence of changes in cognitive operations. Forty children, aged 4 to 18 months, were tested. Subjects were classified by age into one of four groups corresponding to the substages of the sensorimotor stage postulated by the theory. The general hypothesis that children's visual-motor abilities would proceed through four substages was supported. The individual pattern of performance across substages yielded a perfect Guttman scale (Guttman, 1950). Analysis of variance indicated no significant deviation from linearity for any group, no sex effects, and no Sex × Age interactions, as predicted. This study suggests that a cognitive developmental approach can provide a more complete understanding of visual-motor abilities in children, because it can explain recurrent cycles in development and, given an appropriate task analysis, predict the skill level of a child at a given age. The implications for future research are also discussed.
