We present BeatJockey, a prototype interface which makes use of Audio Mosaicing (AM), beat-tracking and machine learning techniques, for supporting Diskjockeys (DJs) by proposing them new ways of interaction with the songs on the DJ’s playlist. This prototype introduces a new paradigm to DJing in which the user has the capability to mix songs interacting with beat-units that accompany the DJ’s ...

This system paper reports on some of the advantages tangible interaction can bring to chemistry education. The paper describes the realisation of an in-house designed Tangible User Interface (TUI) called Augmented Chemistry (AC). A set of interactive tools work within this system. Using these tools, elements can be chosen from a booklet menu and composed into 3D molecular models. The tools indi...

TUI)IES OF HEMOPHILIA have, ins the past-, helped greatly to solve the mansy intricacies of the blood coagulation mechanism. More recently, howeser, they have also altered our s-cry (‘onscept of the disease arid stnggested that, ins-stead of a svehl defined entity, hemophilia ins fact represents a syndrome siit.h many different pathogensetic mechanisms. The questions “ i’hat. is hemophihia?” is...

In September 2006, Diamond Lake (OR, USA) was treated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife with a mixture of powdered and liquid rotenone in the successful eradication of invasive tui chub Gila bicolor. During treatment, the lake was in the middle of a phytoplankton (including cyanobacteria Anabaena sp.) bloom, resulting in an elevated pH of 9.7. Dissipation of rotenone and its major m...

This system paper reports on some of the advantages tangible interaction can bring to chemistry education. The paper describes how we realized a Tangible User Interface (TUI) called Augmented Chemistry (AC), gives details on basic and specialized interactive tools working in this system, and outlines the educational context. Using the basic tools, elements can be chosen from a booklet menu and ...

continued) Also, the extent to which intrinsic vs. extrinsic factors contribute to work motivation was studied. A Valence-Instrumentality-Expectancy (YIE) model of motivation was employed. A questionnaire was administered to a cross-section of 207 naval personnel which comprised over 50 work groups. A rating form was given to the supervisor of each work group. It was found that internals more t...

Current antidepressants have a delayed onset of action and disturbing side effects, including inhibition of sexual behavior. It is hypothesized that novel drugs, hitting multiple disease-relevant targets, may yield a new generation of superior antidepressants. One such approach is simultaneous inhibition of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine transporters. We tested the triple uptake inhibit...

In this paper we address the problems of virtual object interaction and user tracking in a table-top Augmented Reality (AR) interface. In this setting there is a need for very accurate tracking and registration techniques and an intuitive and useful interface. This is especially true in AR interfaces for supporting face to face collaboration where users need to be able to easily cooperate with ...

A 52-year-old male with a history of spinal cord injury and cauda equina syndrome resulting in neurogenic bladder presented with chronic constipation and functional dyspepsia that was refractory to medical management. He was treated with an integrative East-West approach including acupuncture, trigger point injections, and Tui Na massage. Both his pain and constipation improved after a series o...
