Visualizing complex notions of time

Abstract:
Time plays an important role in medicine. Conditions are not just evaluated at single instances in time, but traced over periods. Medications must be administered within specified temporal limits, and their effects observed with regard to time. When planning treatments, the temporal aspect becomes even more complicated. The planner has to deal with uncertainty and allowable intervals. A visual representation of the information would be helpful, but there are few visualizations of time that are powerful enough. We present a visualization that graphically represents a complex notion of time, and has also been implemented in a program that allows users to directly specify this information. The results of a small user study are reported.

Space-Time Curvature and the General Theory of Relativity
This has been verified in many experiments. However, space and time are no longer absolute. Two observers moving relative to one another do not agree on the length of objects or the passage of time. The mechanics of objects based on Newton's laws of motion,...
Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...

Time differentiation involves analyzing the rate of change of a function over time. Mathematically, it is the derivative of a function with respect to time. This concept can be likened to tracking...
