Testing Silver Surfers

Silver Surfers show constant growth rates in the usage of the internet and touristic internet services. This paper investigates specific user behaviour of senior people while being tested in a Usability Lab. The methodology of "Thinking Aloud" and "Retrospective Review" are compared with each other in terms of acceptance, utility and specific outcomes. In order to optimize web based booking pla...

Health issues for surfers.

Surfers are prone to acute injuries as well as conditions resulting from chronic environmental exposure. Sprains, lacerations, strains, and fractures are the most common types of trauma. Injury from the rider's own surfboard may be the prevailing mechanism. Minor wound infections can be treated on an outpatient basis with ciprofloxacin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Jellyfish stings are comm...

Surfers against sewage.

We describe a web server for the accurate mapping of experimental tags in serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). The core of the server relies on a database of genomic virtual tags built by a recently described method that attempts to reduce the amount of ambiguous assignments for those tags that are not unique in the genome. The method provides a complete annotation of potential virtual SA...

The Spatial Behavior of Surfers

Behavioral theory in geography attempts to describe and explain the spatial activities of individuals in terms of fundamental perceptual and cognitive processes. As applied to surfing, behavioral theory can give us greater insight into localism (territoriality) and provides a context for understanding the complex cognitive processes involved in choosing where to surf and in choosing where to pa...
