Application interface example

From the traditional HF/E perspective, error is seen as a consequence of a mismatch between the demands of a task and the physical and mental capabilities of an individual or an operating team. An extended version of this perspective was described in Chapter 1, Section 1.7. The basic approach of HF/E is to reduce the likelihood of error by the application of design principles and standards to match human capabilities and task demands. These encompass the physical environment (e.g., heat, lighting, vibration), and the design of the workplace together with display and control elements of the human-machine interface. Examples of the approach are given in Wilson and Corlett (1990) and Salvendy (1987). 

In addition to the overview of models that are used for adsorption at the oxide-electrolyte interface, examples for the application of these models were discussed. It has been stated that there is a great deal of uncertainty associated with models of the oxide-electrolyte interface, and, in the opinion of the author, it is better to cast uncertainty in terms of a simple model than in terms of a complex model. 

Gas-Controlled The gas side dominates in gas cooling applications. An example is the quenching of a furnace effluent with a vaporizing liquid. In this application the liquid is nearly uniform in temperature. Restated, the reduction in driving force across the liquid side of the interface is unimportant. 

ESI is the most common interface since IPC and MS were coupled initially. By 2008, most applications IPC-MS used the ESI interface [58,68-82] because analytes amenable to IPC are usually already ionic in the column effluent that enters the interface. Examples of APCI-MS applications [83,84] include two-fold use of both interfaces [85] they gave similar results in the determination of polyunsatured fatty acid monoepoxides [86]. For determining mono- and di-sulfonated azo dyes, ESI proved to give the best performance in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility [83]. Joining negative APCI-MS and ESI-MS unambiguously identified several acidic oxidation products of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in ammunition, wastewater, and soil extracts [61]. 

PDMS is an unusual macromolecular amphiphile composed of pendant organic methyl groups along the siloxane backbone. Its surface properties result in a wide variety of applications. Specific examples are listed in Table I (3), which demonstrates the diversity of interfaces at which PDMS-containing materials are active and the apparently contradictory nature of many of the applications adhesion and release, foaming and antifoaming, etc. 

Examples of graphics applications interface standards are the Graphics Kernel System (GKS) (i6) and the Programmer s Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS) (7) Specific interface definitions are part of both GKS and PHIGS. For the device driver interface, examples are the North American Presentation Level Protocol Syntax (NAPLPS) ( ) and the Computer Graphics Interface (CGI) (9).

The fact that useful spectra can be obtained from polymers in various forms, from fibers which cannot be studied by transmission techniques, from other intractable materials, from aqueous solutions, etc., should make this technique useful in many disciplines. The use of ATR for the study of the chemistry of surfaces should be further explored in biochemical applications, for example, deposition of monolayers from solution (see, for example, Sharpe, 1961, 1965). The ATR technique has been used for analysis of bacterial cultures (Johnson, 1966) and in forensic science (Denton, 1965). It has also been applied to a great variety of substances molecular species present at electrode interfaces (Hansen et al., 1966 Mark and Pons, 1966) carbohydrates (Parker and Ans, 1966) a single crystal of pentaerythritol (Tsuji et al., 1970) cosmetics on the skin (Wilks Scientific Corp., 1966) pesticidal traces (Hermann, 1965a) water-alcohol mixtures (Malone and Flournoy, 1965) nitrate ion (Wilhite and Ellis, 1963) leather (Pettit and Carter, 1964) and blood spectra from within the human circulatory system (Kapany and Silbertrust, 1964)l The last-mentioned application requires special equipment. 

T 0 bring to closure the plethora of possible examples on this subject we cite two more. Each illustrates a specific domain of intrinsic practical importance in which the acid-base properties of microporous solids play a dominant role in determining a broad range of applications. The examples examine the gas/solid and liquid/solid interfaces, respectively. For the gas/solid interface, the interdependence of acid-base properties and microporous structure is revealed by the catalytic properties of zeolites, especially by their shape-selective properties. It is impossible to review all the literature in this area, and only a few recent views are summarized. For the liquid/solid interface, we focus on the role of acid-base chemistry in interlayers of clay minerals. 

The wireless trend for medical information systems (ISs) and ITs has also moved beyond just mobile phones. For example, ambulances in Sweden have been equipped with mobile computing, wireless networks, and GPS. While in transit, patient vitals and the ambulance s GPS coordinates can be sent to the hospital, providing real-time status updates. Finland has set up a network where patient records, health consulting, and prescriptions can all be accessed by authorized individuals wirelessly on connected devices (Wu et al. 2007). While these advances are a net benefit for healthcare, there still exist hurdles that need to be considered, including how to best design and implement the mobile user applications interfaces. 

In quantum information and all-optical network, it is necessary to have devices such as quantum repeater and all-optical routing, where optical information can be transferred and distributed in a controlled fashion between different light channels. Routing and wavelength-division multiplexing of optical information has many practical applications, for example, it can be used to interface optical communication line of different wavelengths and distribute optical information between...
