In this paper we investigate a new interaction technique that enables users to capture You-Are-Here maps using their smartphone, and then manipulate the captured image in such a way that it can be used for navigation purposes. This technique utilises groups of similar You-Are-Here maps, which we call map constellations. Results from our field study, in which we tested a working prototype of our...

During a session of the April 1999 Annual Conference of the Texas Distance Learning Association (TxDLA), the authors employed a case study of evaluating the Texas Woman's University distance education program to stimulate discussion among conference participants. This approach was highly successful, resulting in enthusiastic sharing of knowledge, concerns, and strategies related to evaluation o...

The 2-dimensional logarithmic number system (2DLNS), a subset of the multi-DLNS (MDLNS), which has similar properties to the classical Logarithmic Number System (LNS), provides more degrees of freedom than the LNS by virtue of having two orthogonal bases and has the ability to use multiple 2DLNS components, or digits. The second base in 2DLNS can be adjusted to improve the representation space ...

The distribution and morphology of gold panicles from stream sediments, glacial tills and soils have been used to assess their distance from source (Antweiler and Campbell, 1977; Averill, 1988; Petts e/ ul.. 1991; Nikkarinen, 1991; Averill and Huneault, 1991; Grant et ul.. 1991). Here we present preliminary clata on the distribution and morphology of gold in Harris Crcek. southern British Colum...
