Free Six Sigma Tools and Training. Here's a "MASSIVE TOOLBOX" of 100's of Free Six Sigma Tools, Free Quality Improvement Tools, Free Training, Procedures and Forms. Why begin with a "blank computer screen" when you don't have too... THOUSANDS of slides and hundreds of TOOL TEMPLATES - this collection goes well beyond Six Sigma and touches EVERY aspect of Quality Improvement. Poster Presentations - Designing Effective Posters - Resources by Subject - University at Buffalo Libraries Poster Presentations - Designing Effective Posters The poster presentation is a dynamic communication tool evolving over the past four decades, as a means to accommodate the increasing number of researchers, especially graduate students, seeking a means for scholarly presentations of their research. Since then the poster session at many conferences is a major component of meetings of professional associations and societies in many disciplines used to highlight research results and discuss their significance in an informal and interactive setting. Often posters have their own special location and times for presentation; have their abtracts and presenter contact information list in program booklets or proceedings.
Color Palette Generator Color Palette Generator #ffeeff #ffccdd Apps/Dia Welcome to Dia's homepage. Dia is a GTK+ based diagram creation program for GNU/Linux, MacOS X, Unix, and Windows, and is released under the GPL license. Dia is roughly inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio,' though more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.
How to Prepare and Present a Scientific Poster Thomas C. Erren and Philip E. Bourne PLoS Comput Biol 3(5): e102. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030102 Posters are a key component of communicating your science and an important element in a successful scientific career. IBM Advanced visualization Democratizing visualization Advanced visualization from IBM can help you gain insight from the myriad of data that your company generates. You can understand much more about the underlying numbers in your data when you can see them.
Fun with Venn and Euler Diagrams A Venn diagram is a mathematical illustration that shows all of the possible mathematical or logical relationships between sets. A Euler diagram resembles a Venn diagram, but does not neccessarily show all possible intersections of the sets. A Euler diagram is often more useful for showing real world data, because not all sets partially overlap with all other sets. I used the 3 Circle Venn Diagram Applet to make a diagram of food preferences in my family. I have one child who won't eat much in the way of meat or vegetables, and another who dislikes carbs.
Designing conference posters » Colin PurringtonColin Purrington A large-format poster is a big piece of paper or wall-mounted monitor featuring a short title, an introduction to your burning question, an overview of your novel experimental approach, your amazing results in graphical form, some insightful discussion of aforementioned results, a listing of previously published articles that are important to your research, and some brief acknowledgement of the tremendous assistance and financial support conned from others — if all text is kept to a minimum (less than a 1000 words), a person could fully read your poster in 5-10 minutes. Section content • DOs and DON’Ts • Adding pieces of flair • Presenting • Motivational advice • Software • Templates • Printing • Useful literature • Organizing a poster session What to put in each section Below, I’ve provided rough tips on how many words each of these sections might have, but those guesses are assuming you have a horizontal poster that is approximately 3×4′. Adjust accordingly.
For more than a year, I’ve been working on-and-off on a project I call The Graphic Continuum. It’s my view of the many different types of visualizations available to us when we encode and present data. In some ways, it’s a larger, more comprehensive variation on other classification systems (for example, here, here, and maybe even here) that show how certain types of data map to certain types of graph types. Working with Severino Ribecca, we set out to display this space in a clear and easy-to-read form. The idea was to display the space for reader to use as a resource or simply as art.
