Some information is best communicated in a text format. For example, the values of the two-dimensional data array can be shown directly as a table, in which each cell displays a numeric pixel value. Visualization features available in spreadsheets are useful for tabular text visualizations. For example, colorization of the text or textboxes can be useful for highlighting different features of the data, such as peak... 

Never read text visuals word for word, line by line. Visuals should be brief. Your job as a speaker is to amplify the content of the visuals. 

The internal kiln surface can contain up to six empty defect zones or zones with thermal physical characteristics different from those of material layers. The initial data are taken from a text file, prepared by any editor in the format MS-DOS. The obtained values of temperatures are written into an output file in the format MS-DOS for subsequent processing with visualization programs.

Throughout the Pniychpedia cm (or mL) is used in preference to cc. However, the advantage of using cc here is an obvious visual aid in the complex units and there are further comments regarding cc vs cm in the text. 

Visual inspection techniques are stressed as the most important tools used to study failures. This text is not a substitute for rigorous failure analysis conducted by experts, but it will help the reader identify and eliminate many cooling water system problems. Still, on occasion, the experienced, skilled, failure analyst using sophisticated analytical techniques and specialized equipment may be required to solve complex or unusual problems. Common sense, appropriate experience, and systematic investigation are, however, often superior to the more elaborate, but less effective, techniques used by some. 

NEW Picture the process addresses the idea that learning improves when students can picture their problem-solving steps. Visual interpretations of the steps in mathematical calculations appear throughout the text in both worked Examples and derivations. The pictures show exactly what each mathematical step is expressing, helping students to see how the solution is developed. 

Selected art in the text is supported by dynamic media. Students can view motion, three-dimensional effects, and atomic and molecular interactions to learn to visualize as chemists do—at a molecular level.

The concept of a Cosmic Man, the All, the soul of both the universe and humanity, was a significant factor in the theosophy of Paracelsus (1493-1541). The first visual depiction of this Being in the form of Christ-Anthropos, the Son of Man, appeared in Khunrath s alchemical treatise in 1595 (fig. 3). It was developed into the image of the Macrocosmic Man by Robert Fludd who was a prolihc encyclopaedist of Hermetic, medical and mechanical knowledge. In his Philosophia Sacra (1626), Fludd recalled texts in the Hermetic corpus (ca. second century AD) which recounted how Man ( Anthropos ), the divine Son of God, had created the world by uniting with Nature ( Physis ). ... 

This manuscript was first discussed by Carbonelli, but he did not provide a detailed analysis of its style and contents and it has received little attention since.The text is composed of aphorisms of famous alchemists who include Hermes Trismegistus, Aristode, Geber, Amald of Villanova, Senior and characters from the Turba Phibsophorum, such as Rasis. They give instructions about the secrets of the process and the text is supported by visual imagery, arranged in a narrative... 

Experimental exposure studies have attempted to associate various neurological effects in humans with specific trichloroethylene exposure levels. Voluntary exposures of 1 hours resulted in complaints of drowsiness at 27 ppm and headache at 81 ppm (Nomiyama and Nomiyama 1977). These are very low exposure levels, but the results are questionable because of the use of only three test subjects per dose, lack of statistical analysis, sporadic occurrence of the effects, lack of clear dose-response relationships, and discrepancies between the text and summary table in the report. Therefore, this study is not presented in Table 2-1. No effects on visual perception, two-point discrimination, blood pressure, pulse rate, or respiration rate were observed at any vapor concentration in this study. Other neurobehavioral tests were not performed, and the subjects were not evaluated following exposure.
