We examine the problem of searching a database of three dimensional objects given in VRML for objects similar to a given ob ject We introduce an algorithm which is both iterative and interactive Rather than base the search solely on geometric feature similarity we propose letting the user in uence future search results by marking some of the results of the current search as relevant or irreleva...

Visual marking makes it possible to ignore old items during search. In a typical study, old items are previewed 1 s before adding an equal number of new items, one of which is the target. Previewing half of the items reduces by half the search slope relating RT to overall set size, the defining feature of marking. However, previewing half of the items does not always reduce the search slope but...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating type of neurological trauma with limited therapeutic opportunities. The pathophysiology of SCI involves primary and secondary mechanisms of injury. Among all the secondary injury mechanisms, the inflammatory response is the major contributor and results in expansion of the lesion and further loss of neurologic function.
