the discharge or runoff which ousts from a watershed is important. because its deficiency leads to financial losses and its excesses cause damage in lives and property as flood. in this research using artificial neural network multi-layer perceptron (mlp (and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (anfis) and multiple regression method simulated rainfall- runoff process on daily basis in the kho...

Automotive development has been dominated by the special requirements and constraints of driving. However, natural relations to the more general area of Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) exist. Previous research in related fields therefore should be adopted and included. The aim of this paper is to foster discussion between experts in otherwise unrelated fields of research.

Cultural/Tourist mobile guides are becoming common aids to combine information transfer with a guidance service. Mobile guides for pedestrians provide their users with locationspecific information, e.g. based on GPS coordinates. In certain situations the process of giving location-specific information is relatively static, such as in a city where the buildings and tourist sites are not likely t...

This paper describes the design and user evaluation of an intelligent user interface intended to mediate between users and an Adaptive Information Extraction (AIE) system. The design goal was to support a synergistic and cooperative work between user and AIE. Past laboratory experiments had shown the approach was efficient and effective. A set of focus groups were run to assess its ease of use....

Learning a foreign language is a long, error-prone process, and much of a learner’s time is effectively spent studying vocabulary. Many errors occur because words are only partly known, and thismakes theirmental storage and retrieval problematic. This paper describes how an intelligent interface may take advantage of the access structure of the mental lexicon to help predict the types of mistak...

Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) continue to be a serious clinical problem. Bacterial synergism is an important factor that influences the shift from contamination to IAI, leading to the development of lesions and abscess formation. Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis are particularly abundant in IAI. The underlying molecular mechanisms of this pathogenic synergy are still unclear. The ro...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to determine whether premature labor is associated with changes in the maternal plasma concentration of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), a marker of platelet activation. METHODS A cross-sectional study included patients in the following groups: 1) non-pregnant (n=21); 2) normal pregnancy (n=71); 3) normal pregnancy at term with (n=67) and without labor (n=88);...

Gravity mouse is a mouse interface that accelerates the cursor towards potential targets. Its design is based on the premise that as the cursor approaches a potential selection the system can be more certain of the selection. Usability studies with multiple buttons, target and distracter buttons, demonstrate a 100 ms reduction in selection time for 52x41 px buttons and a 130 ms reduction for 19...

In this paper we present the concept of Human Interaction Container (HIC) which introduces an important shift in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, moving from an application-centric to user-centric perspective, through the adoption of a service-oriented view of application and user interface capabilities. The HIC has been designed as to propose an interaction infrastructure offering the ...

This paper presents an approach to adaptive dialogue planning in the framework of an intelligent information retrieval system (MIRACLE), which provides semantic access to multimedia information via a WWW interface. The system uses abduction to infer users, interests and dialogue goals: ambiguous user queries are interpreted with respect to the semantic domain model and unexpected dialogue acts ...
