In this paper, we will discuss the usage of cognitive science research in graphical user interface. In the area of interface design, there is a lack of guidelines based on actual cognitive science research. We intend to explore this area by focusing on the forestry industry and forestry operators, in particular, and how their visual cognitive work load affects their learning process, attention ...

The presented software application allows GUI-based access to the bubble dissolution model presented by McGinnis et al. [McGinnis, D.F., Greinert, J., Artemov, Y., Beaubien, S.E., Wüest, A., 2006. The fate of rising methane bubbles in stratified waters: what fraction reaches the atmosphere? Journal of Geophysical Research 111, C09007. doi:10.1029/2005JC003183]. It quantifies the dissolution of ...

Despite its wide applicability, Quality Estimation (QE) ofMachine Translation (MT) poses a difficult entry barrier since there are no open source tools with a graphical user interface (GUI). Here we present a tool in this direction by connecting the back-end of the QE decision-making mechanism with a web-based GUI. The interface allows the user to post requests to the QE engine and get a visual...

Although Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) often improve usability, individuals with physical disabilities may be unable to use a mouse and keyboard to navigate through a GUI-based application. In such situations, a Vocal User Interface (VUI) may be a viable alternative. Existing vocal tools (e.g., Vocal Joystick) can be integrated into software applications; however, integrating an assistive te...

The graphical user interface (GUI) is now firmly established as the preferred user interface for end users in most situations. Just as decreasing hardware prices and increasing hardware capabilities made two-and-a-hall dimensional (2!D) GUIs affordable in the early eighties and widespread in the ninetees, we believe declining hardware prices and increasing hardware capabilities will make three-...

In order to solve the problem of every new student satellite project tasking themselves with the creation of an entirely custom software system, the Phoenix architecture was born. It consists of a modular, adaptable, and hardware-independent core architecture that can be configured to fit a variety of needs and purposes. The existing system greatly reduces the amount of code that needs to be wr...

UNLABELLED Microbial communities have an important role in natural ecosystems and have an impact on animal and human health. Intuitive graphic and analytical tools that can facilitate the study of these communities are in short supply. This article introduces Microbial Community Analysis GUI, a graphical user interface (GUI) for the R-programming language (R Development Core Team, 2010). With t...

The application of data mining to environmental monitoring has become crucial for a number of tasks related to emergency management. Over recent years, many tools have been developed for decision support system (DSS) for emergency management. In this article a graphical user interface (GUI) for environmental monitoring system is presented. This interface allows accomplishing (i) data collection...
