“…This argument supports the importance of standardization in urban planning. Similar conclusions appear in Dühr's [4,27] examination of Dutch plans, which are not standardized. However, Dühr mentioned the high level of standardization and uniformity in the German planning system, which means that the established rules for cartographic representations are almost impossible to change.…”

“…Qualitative research described by Dühr [27,31,33], Tang and Hurni [32], Söderström [10] and Pickles [29] has not determined how people behave when solving tasks using urban plans. Those authors compared several spatial plans (plans at regional, country, national or transnational level) using qualitative methods and described the similarities and differences, but do not evaluate cartographical quality.…”

“…Based on these methods, Dühr [4,27] introduced a method of map analysis for strategic spatial plans in Germany, England, and Denmark. Because neither Pickles nor Harley provided a detailed list of criteria for analysis, Dühr [31] suggested three categories for a comparative analysis of cartographic representation: the level of abstraction, the level of complexity, and the use of associative colors and symbols "on the map".…”

“…This lab-based design was used in the presented case study with urban plans. Dühr [4,27] described several approaches to analyzing cartographic visualization in urban planning ( [10,[28][29][30]). Pickles [29] suggested an approach to map analysis not unlike discourse analysis, which treats maps as an expanded concept of text.…”

This paper describes a study of the evaluation of cartographic quality of urban plans in the Czech Republic using eye-tracking. Although map visualization is a crucial part of the urban planning process, only a few studies have focused on the evaluation of these maps. The plans of four Czech cities with different styles of visualization and legends were used in this eye-tracking experiment. Respondents were required to solve spatial tasks consisting of finding and marking a certain symbol on a map. Statistical analyses of various eye-tracking metrics were used, and the differences between experts and students and between the map and legend sections of the stimuli were explored. The study results showed that the quality of map symbols and the map legend significantly influence the legibility and understandability of urban plans. For correct decision-making, it is essential to produce maps according to certain standards, to make them as clear as possible, and to perform usability testing on them.

“…The progress in multi-loop calculations and in the computation of Feynman integrals using differential equations are nicely reviewed in the lectures of Refs. [35]. As of now, it is not clear to what extent we will be able to push the available approaches before the computational resources needed become overbearing.…”

In this presentation we review the current status in the automated evaluation of scattering amplitudes, with particular attention to the developments related with NLO calculations, which led to the construction of powerful multi-purpose computational tools. After a general overview, we will devote a short section to describe the GoSam framework for NLO calculations and its application to the production of Higgs boson plus jets. We will then briefly comment on the challenges presented by NNLO calculations, whose structure is considerably more complicated. Finally, we will describe some of the features of the integrand-reduction techniques beyond NLO, an alternative promising approach to multi-loop calculations which is currently under development.
