This paper introduces a novel zooming interface deploying a pico projector that, instead of a second visual display, leverages audioscapes for contextual information. The technique enhances current flashlight metaphor approaches, supporting flexible usage within the domain of spatial augmented reality to focus on object or environment-related details. Within a user study we focused on quantifyi...

OBJECTIVE Pencil grasps other than the dynamic tripod may be functional for handwriting. This study examined the impact of grasp on handwriting speed and legibility. METHOD We videotaped 120 typically developing fourth-grade students while they performed a writing task. We categorized the grasps they used and evaluated their writing for speed and legibility using a handwriting assessment. Usi...

Brian Breed (hereafter BB) invokes a wide range of scholarly voices, among them mine, with a freshness & energetic involvement that put me in mind of first coming to the Book of Bucolics myself more than forty years ago, remind me too that only provocative new turns will keep this age-old colloquy alive. BB enunciates a distinctive strategy & theoretical view. He emphasizes & interrogates the r...

For a further understanding of the phase transitions mechanism in type-I silicon clathrates K₈Si46, ab initio self-consistent electronic calculations combined with linear-response method have been performed to investigate the vibrational properties of alkali metal K atoms encapsulated type-I silicon-clathrate under pressure within the framework of density functional perturbation theory. Our lat...

If there is no documentation, then it didn’t happen! This philosophy is the standard in all health care settings as physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, social workers, and other health care providers generate and maintain detailed notes regarding the patient’s situation and their efforts to achieve the best possible outcomes for the patient. Documentation chronologi...

Self-adaptive system is an effective method to improve its usability to adapt to different individuals, user groups, surroundings and techniques. In the field of self-adaptive geo-information visualization (SAGVis), self-adaptive contexts mean various devices, different surroundings and individual requirements, etc. Context theory is a theoretic foundation for SAGVis, legible context awareness ...

A 79-year-old, right-handed woman was admitted to the hospital with decreased spontaneity. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a left inferior capsular genu infarction. (99m) TC-ECD single-photon emission computed tomography revealed a left-dominant diffuse hypoperfusionin the basal ganglia and frontal lobe. The patient showed abulia and increased writing activity without motor or sensory d...

A web-based tool for visualizing the simulated structural behavior of building models was developed to support the teaching of structural design to architecture and engineering students by activating their spatial cognition capabilities. The main didactic issues involved establishing a consistent and complete three-dimensional vocabulary throughout a base collection of structural system diagram...

Suicide notes play a pivotal role in death investigation. SNARE (Suicide Note Assessment REsearch) software classifies texts as a suicide note or control text-type with accuracies from 80%-88%, depending on text length, from a database of about 1,000 English sources. Our objective was a pilot study to determine SNARE’s reliability among a non-English-speaking sample. Suicide notes were collecte...
