Effective Strategies for Bridging Gulfs Between Users and Computer Systems

This paper describes design strategies that led to significant improvements in the usability and learnability of an enduser programming environment called RIDES. These strategies may be viewed as concrete procedures for building easily learned interfaces and were derived from Polson and Lewis' CE+ theory. RIDES was designed to make it possible for US Air Force training experts, with minimal pro...

Ecotoxicological quality in sediments of Reloncaví and Corcovado gulfs, Chile

A study of the ecotoxicological quality of surface sediment was carried out on samples collected in the main fjords and interior channels between Reloncaví and Corcovado gulfs. The surface sediment samples were taken with a box corer and analyzed for organic matter content and grain size. Dissolved oxygen was measured in water samples taken 10 m off the bottom. The ecotoxicological evaluation o...

The Reef-fish Fauna of the Northern Patagonian Gulfs, Argentina, South- western Atlantic

A checklist containing 29 species of reef fishes recorded at the gulfs San José and Nuevo in Argentina (~42o– 43oS) is provided. The reef-fish assemblages of the San José and Nuevo gulfs are a mix of warm-temperate fauna from the South-western Atlantic Province, and cold-temperate species from the South-American Province; however, warmtemperate fishes dominated in both gulfs. The presence of th...

The Triune Brain: Limbic Mind Mind Plastic, Emotional Mind

Problem statement: The theory discussed is revealing, as compared to studies on the human brain, the fact that he has inherited the structure and organization of three fundamental types of reptiles, ancient or primitive mammals and mammals, or recent evolved. What is very disconcerting is that nature has been able to connect with each other and establish a sort of communication between them. Ap...
