Two different methodologies (visual, memory) were used to evaluate alternative versions of the same configural display. One version (composite display) had several graphical design techniques applied, whereas the other version (baseline display) did not. Two types of information probes (high-level property, low-level data) were administered. When the displays were visible during completion of t...

This paper examines the introduction of a Large Interactive Display Surface (LIDS) prototype in a graphic design teaching environment to see how it supports learning. The study was undertaken with a small tutorial class of seven students. Information gathering consisted of observations, video capture of the tutorial, questionnaires, a focus group session and an interview with the tutor. Several...

Interpretation of multiple sequence alignments is of major interest for the prediction of functional and structural domains in proteins or for the organization of related sequences in families and subfamilies. However, a necessity for the bench scientist is the use of outstanding programs in a friendly computing environment. This paper describes Color and Graphic Display (CGD), a set of modules...

At limited area of smartphone display, it is critical that app icon should provide good recognition and user preference. Based on the key components of an icon, this study investigated app icon design across different mobile operating systems (Apple iOS, Google Android and Windows Phone 8, with different icon design principles respectively) to understand recognition performance and user prefere...

BACKGROUND When generating guidelines, quality of the evidence is tabulated to capture its several domains, often using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach. We developed a graphic display to capture deficiencies, outliers and similarities across comparisons contained in GRADE tables. METHODS Based on a systematic literature review capturing t...

The visual display transformation for virtual reality (VR) systems is typically much more complex than the standard viewing transformation discussed in the literature for conventional computer graphics. The process can be represented as a series of transformations, some of which contain parameters that must match the physical configuration of the system hardware and the user’s body. Because of ...

This paper explores the application of Markov chains in an interactive information retrieval system. Building on the ideas of end-user's state of uncertainty, the system's model of language use, application of the results of information seeking to a work situation, and the user's feedback to the retrieval set through a graphic display of related nodes, the paper details how a Markov chain forms...

The software was designed to process and conduct comparative analysis of Big medical statistical data. This is easy use. It allows the indexes in dynamics, gives a fair assessment time-series tendencies, helps compare studied presents graphic display information. can be used by health-care institutions, high education health-related scientific research organizations, physical culture organizati...
