ABSTRACT The Jevons paradox describes how increased efficiency in the use of a resource can paradoxically increase rather than reduce its overall consumption. In agricultural systems, efficiency is confounded by a broad range of economic, ecological, social and evolutionary factors. Agriculture is a particularly elastic kind of production: Efficiencies

A Study of Model Iterations of Fitts’ Law and Its Application to Human–Computer Interactions
Fitts’ law, a predictive model for motor task completion time, is widely utilized in human–computer interaction (HCI) research. While its formulas in two dimensions have achieved consensus over the decades, research diverges on its application in three ...

Fitts' Law as an Explicit Time/Error Trade-Off
10 pagesThe widely-held view that Fitts' law expresses a speed-accuracy trade-off is certainly correct but vague. We outline a simple trade-off theory of Fitts' law in which movement time and error trade for each other.
