Life and medical science researchers increasingly rely on applications that lack a graphical interface. Scientists who are not trained in computer science face an enormous challenge analyzing high-throughput data. We present a training model for use of command-line tools when the learner has little to no prior knowledge of UNIX.

Research into computer vision techniques has far outpaced the development of interfaces (such as APIs) to support the techniques’ accessibility, especially to developers who are not experts in the field. We present a new description-based interface designed to be mainstream-developer-friendly while retaining sufficient power and flexibility to solve a wide variety of computer vision problems. T...

The ATM (automated teller machine) industry is interested in the impact on the human to computer interface when new transaction types or technologies are established. Cardless transactions and pre-staged transactions combined with mobile technology and/or biometric technologies allow a new customer experience on self-service terminals. We want to substantiate the impact of integrating mobile an...

In this paper, we have made an attempt to take a look under the hood of Spotlight and understand some of the following questions amongst others: • How well-integrated is Spotlight with the file system? • How reliable is the interface between Spotlight and the file system? • Is live update a myth or a reality under heavy file system activity? Based on our experiments, it seems that Spotlight is ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the impact on clinicians and any consequent influence on patient care of taking part in the bespoke interface-focused educational intervention. DESIGN Qualitative design. SETTING Primary and secondary care centres in NHS Highland health board area, Scotland. PARTICIPANTS 33 urban-based clinicians (18 general practitioners and 15 hospital specialists) in NHS Highlan...

Since the development of the striagraph, various attempts have been made to enhance forensic investigation through the use of measuring and imaging equipment. This study describes the development of a prototype system employing an easy-to-use software interface designed to provide forensic examiners with the ability to measure topography of a toolmarked surface and then conduct various comparis...

Based on a philosophy of empowerment, we developed the HIV Treatment, Virtual Nursing Assistance and Education intervention to equip persons living with HIV for managing their daily antiretroviral therapies. In this article, we describe the project and the process of developing it, which was carried out in three phases: (1) development of the intervention's clinical content, (2) generation of a...
