A Control Model: Interpretation of Fitts' Law [PDF]
The analytical results for several models are given: a first order model where it is assumed that the hand velocity can be directly controlled, and a second order model where it is assumed that the hand acceleration can be directly controlled.

The Investigation of Laparoscopic Instrument Movement Control and Learning Effect [PDF]
Laparoscopic surgery avoids large incisions for intra-abdominal operations as required in conventional open surgery. Whereas the patient benefits from laparoscopic techniques, the surgeon encounters new difficulties that were not present during open ...

The efficacy and physiological bases of small muscle mass exercise in health and disease
Abstract The conventional approach to aerobic exercise prescription involves large muscle mass exercise and the manipulation of variables such as training intensity, duration and frequency to promote desired adaptations. However, during whole‐body exercise, central limitations (i.e., neural, pulmonary and/or cardiac) constrain exercise tolerance and ...

Mid-Air Gestural Interaction with a Large Fogscreen
Projected walk-through fogscreens have been created, but there is little research on the evaluation of the interaction performance with fogscreens. The present study investigated mid-air hand gestures for interaction with a large fogscreen. Participants (

Modeling Mechanical Dispersion by Using the Method of Advective Transport Phenomena, a First Step
A new theory for mechanical dispersion describes the spreading of water particles generated by advective flow at sub‐model scale. A representative parameter for modeling, the advective volume shift, is calculated from the distance traveled in the calculation step and stochastic parameters describing the aquifer heterogeneity only and replaces the ...

Nomadic input on mobile devices: the influence of touch input technique and walking speed on performance and offset modeling [PDF]
In everyday life people use their mobile phones on-the-go with different walking speeds and with different touch input techniques. Unfortunately, much of the published research in mobile interaction does not quantify the influence of these variables.
