Visualization of incommensurately modulated structures on example of allotropes of bromine at high pressures

Visualization of incommensurately modulated structures on example of allotropes of bromine at high pressures

ByBerendt news, project-in-depth

This project developed a specialized 3D visualization tool to explore how halogen crystal structures transform under extreme pressure, particularly focusing on incommensurately modulated structures that emerge during molecular dissociation. By enabling interactive visualization of complex atomic configurations and transitions, the tool helps researchers interpret structural phase changes that are otherwise difficult to analyze using conventional crystallographic methods.

Utopia web app: Study Microplastics Fate And Transport On A Global Scale

Utopia web app: Study Microplastics Fate And Transport On A Global Scale

ByKatharina Beckmann project-in-depth

Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern, drawing increasing attention from the public and government agencies. In recent years, the presence of microplastics in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide has become a critical focus of concern.

Segmenting Glomeruli and other structures from synchrotron X-ray microtomography datasets

Diabetes is a long-lasting health condition with serious complications. We studied a new group of rats with a specific genetic mutation linked to diabetes. Regardless of their gender and blood sugar levels, these rats were overweight and had larger livers, hearts, and kidneys compared to normal rats. A study of the size of Bowmans space (difference between outer perimeter and Tuft of their glomeruli) can reveal tendencies toward having or developing cancer. In that respect advanced machine learning approaches are used to automatically segment and evaluate 3D volumetric information of many of the structures found within the tomography scans collected.

Initially an InfraVis pilot project, the VR lab at LTH has worked with Sridhar Halali, a researcher at the LU Dept. of Biology. As part of his work to understand how butterflies have evolved in response to environmental changes, Dr Halali has collected a dataset of microCT scans of butterflies. The specific trait of interest is in this case the shape of the head. It can, however, be a greatly time-consuming task to isolate body segments in a large 3-dimensional dataset using the 2D interface of the standard software (3D Slicer). This is where the VR Lab comes in, analyzing the problem, building on existing plugins for visualization and interaction in VR, and parallel processing to implement a solution to facilitate the task.

SEAD Conservation Paleobiology

SEAD Conservation Paleobiology

ByUmeå University project-in-depth

This project aim to demonstrate the availability of a long-term record of biodiversity data which could be used to understand the biodiversity implications of the current climate and extinction crisis. The visualisation can lead to a discussion about the regulations for sound environments, and to the initiation of new research questions about health effects.

Visualization of pedestrian noise exposure

Visualization of pedestrian noise exposure

ByChalmers University of Technology project-in-depth

We develop an interactive map where the impact of noise is dynamically visualised through heatmaps over the course of a day as a synthesis of pedestrian traffic and noise level at a certain place and time.​

The visualisation can lead to a discussion about the regulations for sound environments, and to the initiation of new research questions about health effects.
