AbstractThe advantages of using the full trace as input for search/match rather than the traditional list of d/I values are emphasized. These advantages stem from the availability and the logical employment of the whole information of the diffractogram.The two key features which enable successful identification of minor phases are discussed: (1) the reliable discrimination between background and weak lines and (2) by regarding the actual full widths of major lines as regions where weak lines can, potentially, he obscured.The user friendliness of the. package will be presented: the graphical user interface, the high level of interactivity, and the speed of the search/match - now less than 8 seconds for searching the current whole ICDD database of 61,993 reference patterns when using an i486/66-based PC.

For most experienced graphical user interface (GUI) and interactive designers, succeeding in acquiring, maintaining, and guiding potential high-level user engagement and user experience (UX) at the first attempt is often a dream. It often takes many low- and high-fidelity prototypes to obtain the desired solution, if not abandoning the entire activity altogether, due to mounting pressure and disappointment after failing to satisfy user needs while maintaining industry standards and design principles. The challenges are often due to the absence of known, agreed-upon evaluation mechanisms that are known and acceptable to interactive designers. The aim of this paper is to introduce an instrument that can be used to measure and evaluate UX, which can be used at any time during the design process and limits the pressure interactive designers too often experience.

Public displays are becoming increasingly interactive and a broad range of interaction mechanisms can now be used to create multiple forms of interaction. However, the lack of interaction abstractions forces each developer to create specific approaches for dealing with interaction, preventing users from building consistent expectations on how to interact across different display systems. There is a clear analogy with the early days of the graphical user interface, when a similar problem was addressed with the emergence of high-level interaction abstractions that provided consistent interaction experiences to users and shielded developers from low-level details. This work takes a first step in that same direction by uncovering interaction abstractions that may lead to the emergence of interaction controls for applications in public displays. We identify a new set of interaction tasks focused on the specificities of public displays; we characterise interaction controls that may enable those interaction tasks to be integrated into applications; we create a mapping between the high-level abstractions provided by the interaction tasks and the concrete interaction mechanisms that can be implemented by those displays. Together, these contributions constitute a step towards the emergence of programming toolkits with widgets that developers could incorporate into their public display applications.

WOFOST version 7.1.3 is a computer model that simulates the growth and production of annual field crops. All the run options are operational through a graphical user interface named WOFOST Control Center version 1.8 (WCC). WCC facilitates selecting the production level, and input data sets on crop, soil, weather, crop calendar, hydrological field conditions, soil fertility parameters and the output options. The files with crop, soil and weather data are explained, as well as the run files and the output files. A general overview is given of the development and the applications of the model. Its underlying concepts are discussed briefly.
