Pytracks: A Tool For Visualizing Fish Movement Tracks On Different Scales, Ross Fossum
Pytracks: A Tool For Visualizing Fish Movement Tracks On Different Scales, Ross Fossum
LSU Master's Theses
A fundamental problem in conservation biology and fisheries management is the ability to make educated decisions based on the data collected. Fish populations and their spatial distributions need to be represented accurately for conversation efforts and management decisions. Methods such as modeling, surveying, and tracking can all be used to collect data on a particular fishery. To include the movement patterns in conservation and management, one needs to work with and process fish tracking data or data exported from fish movement simulation models. This data can often be difficult to process. This topic is becoming increasingly popular as technology to …
Adopting Star Plot For Visualization Of High Dimensional Multivariate Data, Shabana Sangli
Adopting Star Plot For Visualization Of High Dimensional Multivariate Data, Shabana Sangli
LSU Master's Theses
The Star Plot is one of popular methods for visualization of multivariate data. This method displays each data record as a star-shaped icon by mapping all variables (dimensions) on radiating rays (axes) originated from a single point. The number of such icons is equal to the number of data items (records). As the number of dimensions and the size of data set increase, Star Plot visualization soon becomes too cluttered because many rays have to be accommodated within small circular area and individual icons also become too small. To overcome these problems associated with visualization of high-dimensional multivariate data, we …

A Parallel Computing-Visualization Framework For Polycrystalline Minerals, Venkatasrirama Pavankumar Yerraguntla
LSU Master's Theses
In this report, we have reported some preliminary results in the development of a parallel computing-visualization framework for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of polycrystals of minerals, which are geophysically relevant for Earth’s mantle. First, we have generated the input configurations of atoms belonging to various grains distributed in the space in a way, which resembles the polycrystalline structure of the minerals. The Input configuration is developed using Voronoi geometry. Thus generated polycrystalline system is simulated using the PolyCrystal Molecular Dynamics algorithm. Performance tests conducted using up to 256 processors and a couple of millions of atoms have shown that the …
