Revisitation Patterns and Disorientation

The non-linear structure of web sites may cause users to become disorientated. In this paper we describe the results of a pilot study to find measures of user revisitation patterns that help in predicting disorientation.

Spatial Disorientation in Birds

T HE aircraft was on final approach through the rain and fog. At approximately 500 feet it went into a spiral dive to starboard, striking the right wing against the approach lights. The aircraft was destroyed. Blackburnian Warblers were migrating on a night of a low ceiling and the visibility restricted in moderate rain. On reaching a floodlighted area, some fifty birds crashed into a hangar an...

Motorist's vestibular disorientation syndrome.

Six patients are described who experienced difficulty in driving a motor car. Four had illusions that the car was turning, which occurred particularly on open, featureless roads or the brows of hills and caused the driver to stop. All patients had peripheral or central neurootological abnormalities, but the only finding consistent with the directionality of the symptoms was an unpleasantly incr...

USAF Spatial Disorientation Survey

A recent review of mishaps by the Air Force Safety Center (AFSC) determined that spatial disorientation (SD) was implicated in 20.2% of the Class A mishaps in the United States Air Force (USAF) between 1991 and 2000, at a cost of $1.4 billion and 60 lives. However, mishap data only provide limited information about the impact of SD on air operations and, as aircraft losses are relatively infreq...
