Limitations of interaction techniques in modern radial chart implementations

Abstract Radial visualization has gained prominence as a versatile approach to exploring complex, multivariate data in information visualization research and practice. However, the interactive potential of radial visualizations remains under-synthesized across existing high-level...

Synthesis and evaluation of fluorinated chromene-pyridone as a dual-acting agent against Alzheimer's disease and cancer: biological assessment and computational modelling

The global challenge of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer necessitates new multifunctional therapeutics. We designed and synthesised novel chromene-hydrazone derivatives as multitarget ligands. Structures were confirmed spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography, with dat...

Plant species richness is key for restoring grassland butterfly assemblages

Abstract Palaearctic grasslands are heavily threatened by land‐use changes that lead to degradation and habitat loss. Thus, successful grassland restoration for vegetation and wildlife is urgently needed. Butterflies, as sensitive indicators, could provide a holistic view of rest...

How do visual and conceptual factors predict the object content in typical scene drawings?

Imagine you draw a typical bedroom, your choice of objects is likely to depend on visual occurrence statistics (i.e. the objects present in previously encountered bedrooms) and semantic relations between objects and scenes (i.e. the semantic relationship between the bedroom and i...

Chiroptera Personality—A Guide for Assessing Personality Variation in Bats: Ecological, Methodological and Statistical Considerations

ABSTRACT Consistent between‐individual differences, that is, animal personality (AP) is among the fastest‐growing topics in behavioural biology, with theoretical and empirical work showing important consequences for ecology, evolution and conservation. Yet bats—the second‐largest...
