Abstract: Coordinated animal-human health monitoring can provide an early warning system with fewer false alarms for naturally occurring disease outbreaks, as well as biological, chemical and environmental incidents. This monitoring requires the integration and analysis of multi-field, multi-scale and multi-source data sets. In order to better understand these data sets, models and measurements at different resolutions must be analyzed. To facilitate these investigations, we have created an application to provide a visual analytics framework for analyzing both human emergency room data and veterinary hospital data. Our integrated visual analytic tool links temporally varying geospatial visualization of animal and human patient health information with advanced statistical analysis of these multi-source data. Various statistical analysis techniques have been applied in conjunction with a spatio-temporal viewing window.

Abstract: In a method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, when a photoresist film formed on a substrate for the liquid crystal display device is exposed and developed, protrusions are formed on the substrate for increasing a viewing angle of the liquid crystal display device. Although the substrate is formed with step differences thereon caused by various intermediate films, the protrusions may have a same size since an exposure amount to the photoresist film is varied according to the step differences of the substrate on which the protrusions are formed. Thus, the liquid crystal display device may have an improved display quality.
