We evaluated four techniques for controlling focus+context screens. We compared an egocentric versus exocentric View mixed with whether the display on the focus screen moves in the same (paper mapping) versus opposite (scroll mapping) direction as input force. Our results show that (i) View had little effect, (ii) users almost always allocated attention to the context screen when controlling th...

XMAP215 is a microtubule plus-end binding protein implicated in modulating microtubule dynamics. In this issue, Brouhard et al. (2008) propose a new mechanism to explain how XMAP215 promotes microtubule growth. They report that XMAP215 moves with the growing microtubule plus ends where it catalyzes the addition of tubulin subunits.

BACKGROUND Various hard face models are commonly used to evaluate the efficiency of aerosol face masks. Softer more realistic "face" surface materials, like skin, deform upon mask application and should provide more relevant in-vitro tests. Studies that simultaneously take into consideration many of the factors characteristic of the in vivo face are lacking. These include airways, various appli...
