This paper describes in part the design of a control interface between a four-cycle world and a two-cycle world. This interface is designed using the event controlled systems (ECS) methodology developed at the University of Adelaide. Two distinct approaches to the problem are presented.

We present a sharp-interface model of two-dimensional ramified growth during quasisteady electrodeposition. Our model differs from previous modeling methods in that it includes the important effects of extended space-charge regions and nonlinear electrode reactions. The electrokinetics is described by a continuum model, but the discrete nature of the ions is taken into account by adding a rando...

Recently, lots of researchers are attracted to retrieving multimedia database by using some impression words and their values. Ikezoe’s research is one of the representatives and uses eight pairs of opposite impression words. We had modified its retrieval interface and proposed ‘2D-RIB’. In ‘2D-RIB’, after a retrieval person selects a single basic music, the system visually shows some other mus...

The Bioverse is a framework for creating, warehousing and presenting biological information based on hierarchical levels of organisation. The framework is guided by a deeper philosophy of desiring to represent all relationships between all components of biological systems towards the goal of a wholistic picture of organismal biology. Data from various sources are combined into a single reposito...

During the history of geometry people gradually acquired physical knowledge of space, and later consolidated it in a more abstract form of knowledge, geometry. In this paper we describe how elementary school students used physical manipulatives in conjunction with the digital interface of educational software for geometry. The addition of physical manipulatives helped the students to consolidat...

Mass consumption of energy is a big problem. Energy-saving activities which are a solution to this problem have been attracting a lot of attention. Nevertheless, in order to engage in thorough energy-saving activities, consumers need support; on the other hand, even with support, the effects seem to be only temporary. In this paper, to obtain a long-term effect, we focus on developing a method ...

The objective of this article is to provide a theoretical framework explaining positive and negative work-home processes integrally. Using insights from conservation of resources theory, we explain how personal resources (e.g., time, energy, and mood) link demanding and resourceful aspects of one domain to outcomes in the other domain. The resulting work-home resources (W-HR) model describes wo...

It is now possible to explore 3D worlds by using a classical WEB navigator as easily as it is to view 2D HTML pages. The capability to use 3D was previously restricted to powerful machines, it is no more the case. 3D provides a new interface to communicate. The Definition of realistic virtual humans in those worlds produces more intuitive interface for neophyte users. In this paper, we propose ...

During the last decades, linguistic theory has been concerned with the syntaxsemantics interface, mainly with issues linked to scope of operators (negation, quantifiers, modals) and with the syntactic or semantic nature of structural representations. One important trend in syntactic theory (for instance the cartographic approach) is devoted to the syntax-pragmatics interface, with strong argume...

This project involves the development of a Web interface to origin-destination statistics from the 1991 Census (in a form that will be compatible with planned 2001 outputs). It provides the user with a set of screen-based tools for setting the parameters governing each data extraction (data set, areas, variables) in the form of a query. Traffic light icons are used to signal what the user has s...
