Recent studies that compared reading comprehension between print and digital displays found a disadvantage for digital reading. A separate line of research has shown that effective use of learning strategies and active learning tools (e.g. annotation tools: highlighting, underlining and notetaking) can improve reading comprehension. Here, the influence of annotation tools on comprehension and t...

Print interpreting supports people with a hearing disability by giving them access to spoken language. In print interpreting, the interpreter types the spoken text in real time for the hard of hearing client to read. This results in dynamic text presentation. An eye movement study was conducted to compare two types of dynamic text presentation formats in print interpreting: letter-by-letter and...

Job Definition Format (JDF) is a relatively young industry standard developed by The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4). JDF specifies a data format for describing print jobs and exchanging production information between systems in the print production workflow. Most vendors in the printing industry today offer “JDF-enabled” produc...

This document demonstrates the format requirements for papers submitted to the Medical Image Understanding and Analysis conference. The format is designed for easy on-screen reading, and to print well at one or two pages per sheet. Additional features include: pop-up annotations for citations [4, 6]; a margin ruler for reviewing; and a greatly simplified way of entering multiple authors and ins...

BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) printed crystal structures are useful for chemistry teaching and research. Current manual methods of converting crystal structures into 3D printable files are time-consuming and tedious. To overcome this limitation, we developed a programmatic method that allows for facile conversion of thousands of crystal structures directly into 3D printable files. RESULTS...

Job Definition Format (JDF) is an industry standard that specifies a data format for describing print jobs and exchanging production information between systems in the print production workflow. Implementing JDF support in a device, such as a digital printing press, is a complex task. Developers need tools for testing that their implementations conform with the specifications provided by CIP4, ...
