We report results from a dual eye-tracking study around a Tangible User Interface (TUI). Participants (N=54) worked in groups of two and solved optimization problems on the TinkerTable, a TUI designed for students in logistics. The TinkerTable features tangible shelves that students can manipulate to build and optimize the layout of a warehouse while the system provides feedback with a projecto...

Purpose. The objective was to evaluate, by means of tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI), the reliability of a novel approach for determining the position of the implanted tension-free transobturator tape (TOT). Furthermore, we analyzed the association between the position of the tape at rest and the subjective cure in stress incontinent women. Methods. This retrospective pilot study consists o...

Soil aeration is a key parameter for sustainable and productive agriculture. The intensification of agricultural activity in Greenland involves land use (LU) LU change, affecting the soil–air phase. combined effects natural compaction (bulk density, ?b), texture (texture uniformity index; TUI), on phase subarctic soils are not well known. This study aims to identify compare main drivers air-fil...

Heterogeneous Process Migration is a technique whereby an active process is moved from one machine to another. It must then continue normal execution and communication. The source and destination processors can have a different architecture, that is, different instruction sets and data formats. Because of this heterogeneity, the entire process memory image must be translated during the migratio...

In this paper, we present a new technology to track multiple active Tangible User Interfaces (TUI) on a projection table. We use a commercial high speed infrared tracking camera with modified firmware. With a special tracking method, we reach update rates of up to 250 Hz with low latencies. At this tracking rate, we are able to track the position, state and the orientation of more than 10 activ...

Prototyping is an important part in research and development of tangible user interfaces (TUIs). On the way from the idea to a working prototype, new hardware prototypes usually have to be crafted repeatedly in numerous iterations. This brings us to think about virtual prototypes that exhibit the same functionality as a real TUI, but reduce the amount of time and resources that have to be spent...

Fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor in fetuses. However, this benign tumor can cause hemodynamic repercussions and intrauterine fetal mortality. The present study reports a case of rare fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma located in the right atrium, accompanied by premature restriction of the foramen ovale and moderate pericardial effusion, as determined by tomographic ultrasound ...

Groundnut and Melon husks (shell) were collected from the market side in Kaduna metropolis, Kaduna State and milled into powder for proximate and anti-nutritional analysis. The results of proximate analysis showed that groundnut shell contained moisture content, ash content, crude fibre, lipid, crude protein, carbohydrate, oxalate, phytate, cyanogenic glycosides and trypsin inhibitor are 8.0%, ...

Abstract The design of user interfaces (UIs) for assistive robot systems can be improved through the use a set guidelines presented in this article. As an example, article presents two different UI designs manipulation system. We explore considerations from these contrasting UIs. first is referred to as graphical interface (GUI), which operates entirely touchscreen representation state art. sec...

Background: Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) describes a spectrum of disorders including adherence all or part to uterine wall. The aim this study was evaluate the potential role 3D Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging (TUI) and Doppler studies in diagnosis morbidly placenta. Methods: This prospective conducted on 50 female patients, aged from 20 40, who were pregnant with history one more caesarean ...
