The GLuskap system for interactive three-dimensional graph drawing applies techniques of scientific visualization and interactive systems to the construction, display, and analysis of graph drawings. Important features of the system include support for large-screen stereographic 3D display with immersive head-tracking and motion-tracked interactive 3D wand control. A distributed rendering architecture contributes to the portability of the system, with user control performed on a laptop computer without specialized graphics hardware. An interface for implementing graph drawing layout and analysis algorithms in the Python programming language is also provided. This thesis describes comprehensively the work on the system by the author—this work includes the design and implementation of the major features described above. Further directions for continued development and research in cognitive tools for graph drawing research are also suggested. / viii, 110 leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm.

A 3D arrangement graph G is the abstract graph induced by an arrangement of planes in general position where the intersection of any two planes forms a line of intersection and an intersection of three planes creates a point. The properties of three classes of arrangement graphs — four, five and six planes — are investigated. For graphs induced from six planes, specialized methods were developed to ensure all possible graphs were discovered. The main results are: the number of 3D arrangement graphs induced by four, five and six planes are one, one and 43 respectively; the three classes are Hamiltonian; and the 3D arrangement graphs created from four and five planes are planar but none of the graphs created from six planes are planar. / x, 89 leaves : ill.

There are increasing demands for graphics-oriented software packages for graph theory teaching and research. G-Net, a departmental research project headed by Dr. Jay Bagga, is an effort to create a software package that comprises of a graph database, a graph editor, 'and a collection of graph algorithms. Also, with widespread use of the World Wide Web, the graph editor should be accessible through the Web. Taking these issues into consideration Jedit (Java Graph editor) is developed. This thesis concentrates on the design and implementation of a graph editor and a graph object (Jgraph). Jgraph is developed in java to implement the graph algorithms in future. One of the unique features of this graph editor is that it can be used as stand-alone application or as an applet for the Web. In addition, it also provides a friendly user interface. / Department of Computer Science

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using graphic organizers during prereading, reading, and postreading positions of the comprehension and retention of Chinese sixth-grade students who were identified as below-average or above-average readers. Chinese sixth graders from one school were first administered The Michigan Chinese Reading Test to identify reading level. Subjects were then assigned to one of the four treatment groups: traditional Chinese social studies method, graphic preorganizers, graphic organizers as a reading guide, and graphic post organizers.Two practice passages were first used to familiarize the subjects with how graphic organizers were utilized in instruction before reading on experimental passage. The dependent measure, 45 multiple-choice questions based on the experimental passage, was administered twice: the next day after the instructional sessions were concluded and again seven days later.The principal analysis to test the three null hypotheses was a 2 x 4 x 2 ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor corresponding to the two administrations of the test. Two follow-up analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were used to test for differences in treatment condition sepa-rately for above-average readers and below-average readers, using the average of the immediate and the seven-day delayed tests. One Scheffe test was applied to find the location of significant differences among the four treatment conditions for above-average readers. Finally, four follow-up t-tests were used to test for differences in reading level at each of the four treatment levels.Three conclusions were drawn from the statistical analyses of the data: 1) graphic organizers had a significant effect on comprehension and retention only when above-average readers were required to process the organizers during reading; 2) graphic organizers did not produce significantly better comprehension and recall performance of below-average readers; and 3) the effect of graphic organizers was equal to that of the traditional Chinese social studies method in maintaining comprehension and recall for both above-average readers and below-average readers over a one-week delay. / Department of Elementary Education

With the recent development of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology, research has increased considerably on the development of efficient parallel algorithms for solutions of practical graph problems. Varieties of algorithms have already been implemented on different models of parallel computers. But not too much is known yet about the question of which model of parallel computer will efficiently and definitely fit every graph problem. In this investigation the study will focus on a comparative analysis of speedup and efficiency of parallel algorithms with parallel model of computation, and with respect to some sequential algorithms. / Department of Computer Science
