Presenting large amount of Multivariate Data is not a simple problem. When there are multiple correlated variables involved, it becomes difficult to comprehend data using traditional ways. Information Visualization techniques provide an interactive way to present and analyze such data. This thesis has been carried out at ABB Corporate Research, Västerås, Sweden. Use of Parallel Coordinates and Multiple Coordinated Views was has been suggested to realize interactive reporting and trending of Multivariate Data for ABB’s Network Manager SCADA system. A prototype was developed and an empirical study was conducted to evaluate the suggested design and test it for usability from an actual industry perspective. With the help of this prototype and the evaluations carried out, we are able to achieve stronger results regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of the visualization techniques used. The results confirm that such interfaces are more effective, efficient and intuitive for filtering and analyzing Multivariate Data.

Ce travail porte sur le développement et la vérification d’une nouvelle approche de coordonnées alignées FCI (Flux-Coordinate Independent), qui tire partie de l’anisotropie du transport dans un plasma immergé dans un fort champ magnétique. Sa prise en compte dans les codes numériques permet de réduire grandement le coût de calcul nécessaire pour une précision donnée. Une particularité de l’approche nouvellement développée dans ce manuscrit est en particulier sa capacité à traiter, pour la première fois, des configurations avec point X. Toutes ces analyses ont été conduites avec FENICIA, code modulaire entièrement développé dans le cadre de cette thèse, et permettant la résolution d’une classe de modèles génériques. En résumé, la méthode développée dans ce travail est validée. Elle peut s’avérer pertinente pour un large champ d’application dans le contexte de la fusion magnétique. Il est montré dans cette thèse que cette technique devrait pouvoir s’appliquer aussi bien aux modèles fluides que gyrocinétiques de turbulence, et qu’elle permet notamment de surmonter un des problèmes fondamentaux des techniques actuelles, qui peinent à traiter de manière précise la traversée de la séparatrice. / The primary thrust of this work is the development and implementation of a new approach to the problem of field-aligned coordinates in magnetized plasma turbulence simulations called the FCI approach (Flux-Coordinate Independent). The method exploits the elongated nature of micro-instability driven turbulence which typically has perpendicular scales on the order of a few ion gyro-radii, and parallel scales on the order of the machine size. Mathematically speaking, it relies on local transformations that align a suitable coordinate to the magnetic field to allow efficient computation of the parallel derivative. However, it does not rely on flux coordinates, which permits discretizing any given field on a regular grid in the natural coordinates such as (x, y, z) in the cylindrical limit. The new method has a number of advantages over methods constructed starting from flux coordinates, allowing for more flexible coding in a variety of situations including X-point configurations. In light of these findings, a plasma simulation code FENICIA has been developed based on the FCI approach with the ability to tackle a wide class of physical models. The code has been verified on several 3D test models. The accuracy of the approach is tested in particular with respect to the question of spurious radial transport. Tests on 3D models of the drift wave propagation and of the Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) instability in cylindrical geometry in the linear regime demonstrate again the high quality of the numerical method. Finally, the FCI approach is shown to be able to deal with an X-point configuration such as one with a magnetic island with good convergence and conservation properties.

Nas últimas décadas o uso de equipamentos para posicionamento, principalmente os receptores de navegação pessoal, ganhou relativa importância, e a aquisição desses receptores aumentou consideravelmente. Estes receptores, entretanto, não foram desenvolvidos para trabalhos que exijam acurácia, pois estimam e armazenam as posições com precisão e acurácia da ordem de 03-15 m, com 95% de probabilidade, não armazenam os dados de código e fase e não possuem antenas com centro de fase determinado. Com a disponibilização do protocolo de transmissão dos dados destes receptores, foram desenvolvidos alguns programas para, estando conectados ao receptor por meio de hardware e software, extrair e registrar as observações de navegação (código CA e fase da portadora). Desta forma, o uso de receptores de navegação pessoal para medições de coordenadas com boa acurácia, em linhas base curtas, pode tornar-se uma grande alternativa para área de mensuração com aplicações na Engenharia de Transportes. O alto custo de outras técnicas frente à proposta deste trabalho à uma das grandes dificuldades encontradas para uma maior acurácia nos trabalhos geodésicos aplicados aos transportes. Neste trabalho procurou-se analisar o processamento de dados da fase portadora L1 e código CA, coletados com receptores de navegação pessoal,obtidos por meio de softwares auxiliares, levando-se em consideração a algumas variáveis como a distância entre as estações, o tempo de rastreio, softwares de processamento e diferentes equipamentos. Os resultados obtidos promissores confirmando as vantagens de armazenamento das observáveis dos receptores de navegação pessoal para o seu posterior pré-processamento para a obtenção de coordenadas acuradas em linhas bases curtas. / In recent decades the use of equipment for positioning, particularly the personal navigation receivers gained relative importance, and the acquisition of these receivers has increased considerably. These eceivers, however, were not developed for task that requiring accuracy, because it estimate and store positions with precision and accuracy of the order of 03 to 15 meters, with 95% probability, do not store the code and carrier phase data and have no determined Xntennae center stage. With the provision of the protocol for data transmission of these receivers have been developed some programs and is connected to the receiver by way of hardware and software, extract and record the navigation observable (CA code and carrier phase). Thus, the use of the navigation eceivers staff to measurements of coordinates with good accuracy, based on short baselines, can become a great alternative to main measurement in Transport Engineering applications. The high cost of other technologies front to the proposal in this work is one of the difficulties found for a greater accuracy in the applied transports geodesic works. In this research it is looked to analyze the data processing of the L1 carrying phase and CA code collected with the aid of specific software, taking itself consideration changeable as in the baseline between the stations, the observation time, software and different equipments. The results was promising, confirming the benefits of storage observable from the personal navigation receivers for further post-processing to obtain accurate coordinates in short baselines.

<div><div><div><p>When confined to a finite, two-dimensional area and exposed to a strong magnetic field, electrons exhibit a complicated, highly correlated quantum behavior known as the quantum Hall effect. This dissertation consists of finite size numerical investigations of this effect. One line of study develops treatment of the fractional quantum Hall effect using the hyperspherical method, in conjunction with applications to the few-body quantum Hall systems, e.g., highly-controlled atomic systems. Another line of research fully utilizes the developed numerical techniques to study on the platform of finite size fractional quantum Hall states the bulk-edge correspondence principle, which is universal for phases in topological orders. It has been demonstrated that the eigenstates associated with the entanglement spectrum reveal more information about the ground state than the spectrum alone.</p></div></div></div>

The performance of hard disks has become increasingly important as the volume of data storage increases. At the bottom level of large-scale storage networks is the hard disk. Despite the importance of hard drives in a storage network, it is often difficult to analyze the performance of hard disks due to the sheer size of the datasets seen by hard disks. Additionally, hard drive workloads can have several multi-dimensional characteristics, such as access time, queue depth and block-address space. The result is that hard drive workloads are extremely diverse and large, making extracting meaningful information from hard drive workloads very difficult. This is one reason why there are several inefficiencies in storage networks. In this paper, we develop a tool that assists in communicating valuable insights into these datasets, resulting in an approach that utilizes parallel coordinates to model data storage workloads captured with bus analyzers. Users are presented with an effective visualization of workload captures with this implementation, along with methods to interact with and manipulate the model in order to more clearly analyze the lowest level of their storage systems. Design decisions regarding the feature set of this tool are based on the analysis needs of domain experts and feedback from a conducted user study. Results from our user study evaluations demonstrate the efficacy of our tool to observe valuable insights, which can potentially assist in future storage system design and deployment decisions. Using this tool, domain experts were able to model storage system datasets with various features to manipulate the visualization to make observations and discoveries, such as detecting logical block address banding and observe various dataset trends which were not readily noticeable using conventional analysis methods.

The objective of the diploma thesis is to design a device for positioning of mobile devices using GPS satellites. When coordinates are acquired they can be sent via the GSM network to a user's cell phone or to an SQL server. A web interface has been designed to access the stored data and to show the current device position and the history. This position datalogging system can be used for monitoring vehicles as well as a security system for cars.

Dieses Manuskript entstand aus Vorlesungen über Geodätische Berechnungen an der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden. Da diese Lehrveranstaltung im ersten oder zweiten Semester stattfindet, werden noch keine Methoden der höheren Mathematik benutzt. Das Themenspektrum beschränkt sich deshalb weitgehend auf elementare Berechnungen in der Ebene. Nur im Kapitel 7 kommen einige Methoden der Vektorrechnung zum Einsatz.
