Diagram A diagram is a two-dimensional geometric symbolic representation of information according to some visualization technique. Sometimes, the technique uses a three-dimensional visualization which is then projected onto the two-dimensional surface. The word graph is sometimes used as a synonym for diagram. Overview[edit] The term diagram in common sense can have a general or specific meaning: In the specific sense diagrams and charts contrast computer graphics, technical illustrations, infographics, maps, and technical drawings, by showing "abstract rather than literal representations of information".[1] The essences of a diagram can be seen as:[1] a form of visual formatting devicesa display that do not show quantitative data or [numerical], but rather relationships and abstract informationwith building blocks such as geometrical shapes connected by lines, arrows, or other visual links. Main diagram types[edit] There are at least the following types of diagrams: Specific diagram types[edit]

Cartographie des USA Retour à la lettre d'information géomatique n°10 Mapping the measure of America Site : Cet atlas interactif cartographie à différentes échelles (états, comtés, métropoles) des données riches et récentes, orchestrées autour d'un indice composite de développement humain modifié. "The American HD Index measures the same three basic dimensions as the standard HD Index, but it uses different indicators to better reflect the U.S. context and to maximize use of available data. Ce qui distingue cet atlas, c'est d'une part sa richesse et son actualisation, d'autre part les nombreuses possibilités de déclinaison statistiques : par aires géographiques, par sexe, par origine ethnique, une spécificité américaine. S'il convient d'insister sur la nature récente et détaillée des données statistiques mises à disposition par l'American Human Develoment Project, il convient également d'en cerner les limites.

And Then the Lord Sent Two Research Angels, Versed in Statistics and GIS by Guest Blogger Angie Andriot, Sep 26, 2009, at 10:20 am In the Bible (book of Genesis), God sends two angels to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. These angels were charged with the task of evaluating the rate of sin within the walls. If the people were completely overridden by sin, God would destroy them. What if those angels were statisticians, with access to GIS and geomapping software? Some geographers at Kansas State University recently did an analysis of the spacial distribution of EVIL in the United States. That’s right, folks – these geographers have operationalized sin, quantified it, then measured and mapped it. By looking at sin at the aggregate level, what they’re doing here is examining sin as a social fact, as opposed to an individual trait. This would also be useful in showing how we can’t extrapolate individual characteristics from aggregate data. I guess I can cancel that fire and brimstone insurance. I don’t have any STDS.

Flowchart A simple flowchart representing a process for dealing with a non-functioning lamp. A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution to a given problem. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.[1] Overview[edit] Flowcharts are used in designing and documenting complex processes or programs. a processing step, usually called activity, and denoted as a rectangular boxa decision, usually denoted as a diamond. A flowchart is described as "cross-functional" when the page is divided into different swimlanes describing the control of different organizational units. Flowcharts depict certain aspects of processes and they are usually complemented by other types of diagram. History[edit] Flowchart building blocks[edit] Examples[edit] Symbols[edit] Arrows

CAMPUS NUMERIQUE LANGUES (les exercices -parties en rouge- seront mis en ligne très prochainement) Que l’on soit séduit par le « rêve américain » ou qu’on le rejette, un constat s’impose : les Etats-Unis font partie de ces pays que l’on ne peut ignorer tant leur influence –positive ou négative- dans le monde est grande. Pays jeune, à l’esprit conquérant, il tente d’imposer ses valeurs politiques (démocratie), économique (libéralisme) et culturelle (individualisme, consommation, religion, etc.) au reste du monde, non sans susciter de vives résistances. Comment un pays dont la population compte pour seulement 5% du total mondial peut-il soutenir ce challenge ? Quels sont les fondements de sa puissance ? On s’intéressera dans un premier temps aux éléments qui permettent de qualifier les Etats-Unis de super ou hyperpuissance. Retour au menu Introduction Dans un premier temps, nous allons caractériser cette hyperpuissance. A- L’Hyperpuissance militaire, économique et culturelle. a) Hyperpuissance militaire Conclusion :

Pie chart Pie chart of populations of English native speakers Pie charts are very widely used in the business world and the mass media.[3] However, they have been criticized,[4] and many experts recommend avoiding them,[5][6][7][8] pointing out that research has shown it is difficult to compare different sections of a given pie chart, or to compare data across different pie charts. Pie charts can be replaced in most cases by other plots such as the bar chart. Example[edit] A pie chart for the example data. The following example chart is based on preliminary results of the election for the European Parliament in 2004. *Because of rounding, these totals do not add up to 100 and 360. The size of each central angle is proportional to the size of the corresponding quantity, here the number of seats. Use, effectiveness and visual perception[edit] An example of a pie chart with 18 values, having to separate the data from its representation. Variants and similar charts[edit] Exploded pie chart[edit] Notes[edit]

Future - Science & Environment - Drake equation: How many alien civilizations exist? Are we alone? It is a question that has occupied mankind for centuries. Today, we live in an age of exploration, where robots on Mars and planet-hunting telescopes are beginning to allow us to edge closer to an answer. While we wait to establish contact, one technique we can use back on Earth is an equation that American astronomer Frank Drake formulated in the 1960s to calculate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations may exist in the Milky Way galaxy. It is not a rigorous equation, offering a wide range of possible answers. Until ground-based observations, space telescopes and planet-roving robots uncover any tell-tale signs of life, what better way to speculate on how many intelligent alien civilizations may exist than to explore the universe with our interactive version of the equation.

Born in the USA, Made in France | Geography Education | Scoop.it France — the land of haute cuisine, fine wine and cheese — would be the last place you would expect to find a thriving fast-food market. In a country known for its strong national identity and anti-globalization movement, it seems improbable that McDonald’s could have survived the onslaught of French social and political activism. In 1999, José Bové, an agricultural unionist, became a hero to anti-globalization supporters when he and his political group, Confédération Paysanne, bulldozed a McDonald’s in Milau, France, to protest against U.S. trade restrictions on French dairy products. With bullhorn in hand, he declared to the television news cameras: “We attacked this McDonald’s because it is a symbol of multinationals that want to stuff us with junk food and ruin our farmers.” Local Responsiveness Burger King — arguably McDonald’s largest competitor in the world — entered the French market in 1981 but closed its 39 stores in 1997.

Radial tree Example of a radial tree, from a 1924 organization chart that emphasizes a central authority.[1] Radial vs. triangular tree layout Comparison to other layouts[edit] In a simple case, the first node is at the top, and the linked nodes are beneath. Since the length of each orbit increases with the radius, there tends to be more room for the nodes. Basic layout[edit] The overall distance "d" is the distance between levels of the graph. The layout has some similarities to a hyperbolic tree, though a key difference is that hyperbolic trees are based on hyperbolic geometry, whereas in a radial tree the distance between orbits is relatively linear. Examples[edit] MindManager and MindMapper are mindmapping systems, which can make radial-like layouts, though are not radial beyond the 2nd level.SpicyNodes is an approach to visualizing hierarchies, which allows moving from node to node.
