Highlighting Impact and the Impact of Highlighting: PRB Editors' Suggestions

With worldwide R&D investment topping $1.5 trillion annually [1] and constantly increasing technical capabilities, computing power, and means of scientific interactions, global research output is growing rapidly (in fact, exponentially [2]) in numbers and scope. Just over the last 15 years, the number of scientific articles published annually in physics journals [3] rose from approximately 78,0...

Transparency for Item Highlighting

In this paper, we introduce a system for reducing the visibility of infrequently used user interface items by increasing their transparency, thus increasing the visibility of frequently used items. We believe this system to be a superior alternative to the common method of completely removing infrequently used items from view. We discuss applications of this system to menus, toolboxes and deskt...

Highlighting: A Canonical Experiment

Highlighting is a perplexing effect in learning, in which shared features are more strongly associated with early learned outcomes but distinctive features are more strongly associated with later learned outcomes. The effect has been widely observed with different stimuli, procedures, and application domains. It continues to discomfit many theories of learning. This chapter provides results fro...

Highlighting Diabetes Mellitus

The defining feature of diabetes mellitus is the presence of hyperglycemia. The most common forms of diabetes mellitus are type 1 diabetes mellitus, in which an absolute deficiency of insulin ensues consequent to pancreatic beta cell destruction, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, in which insulin resistance may lead to hyperglycemia. Obesity is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus,...
