In this paper, we describe and discuss solutions capable of helping in the development of supportive multimodal user interfaces. Based on the specifications and design of European Union funded project GUIDE (Gentle User Interfaces for Elderly People), we show how it is possible to use several modalities of interaction as well as adapting UIs, as a mean of providing users with ideal interaction ...

Supportive communication has conventional tremendous attention for wireless networks. Most existing works on supportive infrastructure are focused on linklevel corporeal layer issues. Consequently, the impacts of supportive infrastructure on network-level upper layer issues, such as topology control, map-reading and network capacity, are largely disregarded. In this article, we propose a Capaci...

In 3 experiments, supportive audiences were associated with unexpected performance decrements (i.e., "choking" under pressure). On a difficult, skill-based task, participants were more likely to fail when observed by supportive audiences than when observed by nonsupportive audiences. When the criterion for success was easy, supportive audiences had no effect. With a difficult criterion, support...

INTRODUCTION Retroperitoneal necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, fulminant, and potentially lethal complication of intra-abdominal suppuration. A retroperitoneal origin is very rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this case is only the fourth case reported of successful management following retroperitoneal necrotizing fasciitis. CASE PRESENT...

in this paper, we deal with the subdierential concept onhadamard spaces. flat hadamard spaces are characterized, and nec-essary and sucient conditions are presented to prove that the subdif-ferential set in hadamard spaces is nonempty. proximal subdierentialin hadamard spaces is addressed and some basic properties are high-lighted. finally, a density theorem for subdierential set is establi...

Schools are increasingly concerned with the promotion of student wellbeing, and relatively little is known about school libraries as wellbeing supportive spaces in contemporary schools. This article draws on qualitative interview data from students library managers to explore how make use library, this relates a safe space. It finds that can be highly valued for their capacity foster belonging ...

Let A be any nonrecursive set. For each k 0, we show that there are functions (k + 1)-truth-table reducible to A that are not k-weak-truth-table reducible to A; and we show that there are functions (k + 1)-Turing reducible to A that are not k-Turing reducible to A. Intuitively, this means that k + 1 queries to a nonrecursive oracle are strictly more useful than k queries to the same oracle (for...

This paper describes the treatment of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) from the time of its discovery in Africa up to the present. Pioneer investigators explored the value of chemotherapy since surgery and radiation were not effective modalities. Complete response was observed with many drugs used as single agents, but Ziegler and colleagues showed that patients resistant to one drug could achieve cure an...
