We have built and evaluated a prototype of a tool called Knight. The tool uses an electronic whiteboard a large, touch sensitive computer screen (currently a SMART Board http://www.smarttech.com). The large drawing space resembles a traditional whiteboard: Pens are used as input devices and several persons can work around it. Thus, it naturally supports collaborative work. Furthermore, the Knig...

Doodle is a simple and popular online system for scheduling events. It is an implementation of the approval voting mechanism, where candidates are the time slots and each responder approves a subset of the slots. We analyze all the Doodle polls created in the US from JulySeptember 2011 (over 340,000 polls), consisting of both hidden polls (where you cannot see other people’s votes) and open pol...

Traditionally, behavioural and electrophysiological measurements in animals are performed separately; however their combined use has considerably enriched our understanding of, for example, memory-related processes. Especially single unit recordings paved the way and highlighted performance-specific firing characteristics of individual neurones (place cells, phase cell, head direction cell – se...

Consider in R2 the standard lattice L = Z×Z and the origin (0,0). A point (m,n) ∈ L−{(0,0)} is said to be visible if the segment connecting the origin and (m,n) does not contain any other lattice points. Visibility problems have been studied since a century. Perhaps the most celebrated problems are the visible version of Gauss circle problem and the so-called orchard problem (see other problems...

Mission The Progeria Family Circle is a parents’ organisation and network that supports European Progeria children and their families in several ways. The objectives are fourfold: Meetings First, the foundation organises annual meetings for all European children and their families. These are important highlights, because of the rarity of the disease children never see other patients. Also for t...

Relative direction information is very commonly used. Observers typically describe their environment by specifying the relative directions in which they see other objects or other people from their point of view. Or they receive navigation instructions with respect to their point of view, for example, turn left at the next intersection. However, it is surprisingly hard to integrate relative dir...

Browsing the Web is usually a lonely task. People visit sites, collect information and are not aware of other people looking at the same material, people with whom they could exchange experiences and ideas about the subject they are looking at. A Collaborative Browsing System (CoBrow) [13] has been developed to bring awareness to the World Wide Web. CoBrow users can see other people looking at ...

In a case-control analysis comparing 303 patients with diabetes and 303 without (matched on age, race, sex and height), diabetics had reduced lung diffusion (DLCO) independent of smoking, obesity, clinical heart failure, asymptomatic left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction: DLCO (mean±SE: 15.5±0.9 vs. 16.4 ±0.9, p=0.01).
