Description:: This dissertation observes interaction to explore the influence of group argument in decision-making in mock juries. The goals of this investigation were to observe two-sided deliberations of a task-oriented decision-making group, map the dichotomous arguments and provide insight into what influences were at play in the final decision.

Description:: Equilibrium models of star formation successfully derive the globally-averaged Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation, positing that star formation rates (SFRs) are self- regulated by the turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) generated by stellar feedback. However, these models make assumptions that may not be achieved in realistic galaxy systems. Cosmological zoom-in simulations,...

Description:: Visualization is a powerful tool to help people better communicate and understand data. But the perception and interpretation of data is riddled with bias. Data visualizations are ambiguous objects such that different people viewing the same visualization can come to different conclusions. The ambiguity is likely associated with people's perceptual...
