Issues and Challenges

Michael Friendly s Corrgram (Friendly, 2002) uses a color- and shape-coded scatterplot matrix display (Tukey and Tukey, 1981) to show correlations between variables. Variables are permuted so that correlated variables are positioned adja-centiy. Guo (2003) and Guo et al. (2003) also evaluated all possible axis-parallel 2D projections according to the maximum conditional entropy to identify ones that are most useful to find clusters. They visualized the entropy values in a matrix display called the entropy matrix (MacEachren et al., 2003) that is also a color-coded scatterplot matrix. 

Various visualization techniques for multidimensional datasets illustrated different perspectives that should be considered to facilitate visual understanding of the data. The difficulty in appreciating multiple dimensions has made researchers in different disciplines develop various methods to visualize multidimensional datasets. Although there are software tools for exploring and understanding multidimensional datasets (Cook et al., 1995 Ward, 1994), the utility of interactive interaction techniques has not been thoroughly explored. 

Combining interactive tools with the powerful data-mining approaches, especially clustering analysis, is essential to help users effectively explore and understand multidimensional datasets, but at the same time it presents several challenges. 

The design of the interactive interface for such tools should deal with the issues about how to naturally integrate dynamic interaction techniques into the exploration process and how to effectively provide sufficient contextual explanation about the analysis result (for example, in case of cluster analysis, why they are clustered together). Furthermore, it might be difficult to implement interactive visualization systems that practically combine the rapid, incremental updates of visualization with the computational requirements of data mining. 

Techniques in category 3 remain important. These techniques involve a unique method to map dimensions to some visual forms. However, users often have difficulty in grasping the meaning of the low-dimensional projections made by the techniques in category 3. 

One of the big issues in chip operation is the formation of bubbles in the channels. Once formed, bubbles can prove to be very hard to eliminate, unless special care is taken in the design of the channel geometry to avoid places where bubbles can get stuck in the first place, and to allow mobilization of bubbles with relatively

Wireless Sensor Networks for Security Issues and Challenges... 

The issues and challenges in molecular sieve science have dramatically changed in recent years and will continue to be redefined. As new and clever approaches to nanoporous materials are developed, the pore size and structural limitations that presently exist will no doubt be vanquished. As bolder endeavors expand the scope of this field, many new applications should also emerge. It seems the progress and innovations described in this chapter reflect a growing interdisciplinary nature in molecular sieve research. It is likely that the importance of large pore zeolites and molecular sieves will evolve in many nontraditional areas.

A logical question is Why fuel cells are not on the market if they are so good The next several sections will attempt to answer this question through an analysis of the key issues and challenges in fuel cell state-of-the-art technology, applications, and commercialization. 

The computational fluid dynamics investigations listed here are all based on the so-called volume-of-fluid method (VOF) used to follow the dynamics of the disperse/ continuous phase interface. The VOF method is a technique that represents the interface between two fluids defining an F function. This function is chosen with a value of unity at any cell occupied by disperse phase and zero elsewhere. A unit value of F corresponds to a cell full of disperse phase, whereas a zero value indicates that the cell contains only continuous phase. Cells with F values between zero and one contain the liquid/liquid interface. In addition to the above continuity and Navier-Stokes equation solved by the finite-volume method, an equation governing the time dependence of the F function therefore has to be solved. A constant value of the interfacial tension is implemented in the summarized algorithm, however, the diffusion of emulsifier from continuous phase toward the droplet interface and its adsorption remains still an important issue and challenge in the computational fluid-dynamic framework.
