User Models and User Physical Capability
User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction, 2002Summary: Current interface design practices are based on user models and descriptions derived almost exclusively from studies of able-bodied users (Keates et al., 1999). However, such users are only one point on a wide and varied scale of physical capabilities.

User Research for Senior Users
2011The purpose of this research is to propose new user research method for senior users, and discover problems of user interface design, propose an idea for improvement using proposed method. Targeted user is senior user from middle 50s to late 60s, and targeted product is cellphone. The aim of proposed method is to find out more detailed problems and the

Designing for Users with Users
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1997Our topic of discussion for this panel is the application of participatory ergonomics within a macroergonomics or systems framework. The overarching theme of applying the concepts of participatory ergonomics and ensuing examples are given within different environmental settings.

User-centred design: for users or by users?
Ergonomics, 1995Abstract When ergonomists contribute to the design of products and services they aim to be user-centred. This paper explores two possible meanings of user-centredness; the ergonomist may use theories and findings about human behaviour to act for the user or may help the user to participate in design.

Designing the user in user interfaces
Proceedings of the 2nd ACM symposium on Spatial user interaction, 2014In the good old days, the human was here, the computer there, and a good living was to be made by designing ways to interface between the two. Now we find ourselves unthinkingly pinching to zoom in on a picture in a paper magazine. User interfaces are changing instinctual human behavior and instinctual human behavior is changing user interfaces.

A User-Centered Approach to User Modeling [PDF]
, 1999 Generally, user modeling concerns a person interacting with a standing console. This scenario does not represent the Hyper Audio system in use: a visitor freely moves in a museum, gathering information from an adaptive and portable electronic guide. To provide designers with presumptive user behavior, data about visitor profiles and visit styles were ...

Jointly positioning multiple users in aid of user-to-user distances
2017 IEEE 28th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC), 2017A multiuser positioning algorithm in aid of user-to-user (U2U) distances is proposed in this paper. The cost function is the combination of non-linear least squares (NLS) of time of arrival (TOA) of multiple users and the NLS of U2U distances among users. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to search the best positions of the multiple users in

A Comparison of Marijuana Users and Non-users
Nature, 1970Interviews with sixty-two Americans in their twenties, mostly students, demonstrate that those who smoked marijuana moderately differed little in personality from those who did not indulge, but that heavy smokers of marijuana were rather less conventional. The smokers tended to drink little alcohol.

Users: Service Users and the Drug User Movement
2010In April 2006 a group of illegal drug user activists from around the world met at the 17th International Conference on the Reduction of Drug Related Harm in Vancouver, Canada. Together they produced a ‘statement about the international network of people who use drugs’, a document that is, in effect, an international declaration of drug users’ rights ...

User Equilibrium with Length Constrained Users
2012 Fifth International Joint Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization, 2012In this paper we introduce a length constrained user equilibrium model. In our model, people consider two criteria, path time and path length, when selecting their routes. They only travel on "acceptable paths", the paths whose length are not too long for them.
