This paper presents a review of human factors (HF) efforts toward the introduction of a graphical user interface (GUI) designed for operators in the control room of the world's largest wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center, located in Moffett Field, California. Design of GUIs for the control room of this facility involved application of HF principles at many different levels of the design program: the design process itself, the environmental context for design, and the actual content of the graphical interface. This paper presents the particular challenges associated with transforming a control room from analog to digital, as well as the specific advantages and drawbacks of using GUIs in the context of large, multi-operator, environments.

The Individual

Layer-elastic, finite-element computer programs are available for performance-based structural design and analysis of railway trackbeds. This paper utilizes the KENTRACK design program. It is possible to consider the fatigue lives of the various layers relative to the imposed wheel loads, tonnages, environmental conditions and other factors. The service lives of the individual components of the trackbed are predicted by damage analysis for various combinations of traffic loadings, accumulated tonnages, subgrade support, and component layer properties and thicknesses. The results are presented graphically. The latest version, KENTRACK 3.0, is utilized. It is coded in C#.NET a popular computer language for achieving accuracy and efficiency. The graphical user interface in the KENTRACK 3.0 provides a technique to analyze trackbeds as structures. It is possible with KENTRACK 3.0 to select individual trackbed layers and associated thicknesses to satisfy roadbed and trackbed performance requirements. In addition, it is possible to performance-rank different track sectional designs based on the relative importance of the particular track section and track type. The types of roadbed and trackbed configurations are selected to meet each of the various performance ranks.

This paper describes the design and development of a Graphical User Interface through the virtual instrumentation software NI LabVIEW using the VISA function, to graphically visualize and storage the data of the climatological variables of temperature and relative humidity. The graphical interface offers the option to export the date, time and data of the two variables to text documents with extension “.txt”, which acquires the information of the electronic board wireless monitoring and control, which uses a main device PIC16F877A microcontroller. AMT1001 Precision Analog Sensor was used to sense temperature and relative humidity. The PIC16F877A was programmed using a C programming language in the CCS Compiler compiler, to the data acquisition, and send it via RS232 communication to the computer, using the PL2303 module USB to TTL converter. To check the GUI operation, the electronic wireless monitoring and control card was connected to the computer equipment by wire, however, the monitoring of the climate variables can be done wirelessly by XBEE technology. Future work aims to monitor the climate of a horticultural greenhouse with XBBE technology, so that the data is sent wirelessly to a computer that has the GUI, and is also connected to Ethernet or WIFI, which will have the LabVIEW graphical interface explained in this article, and the data will be displayed / analyzed through the internet.

AbstractRaxmlGUI is a graphical user interface to RAxML, one of the most popular and widely used software for phylogenetic inference using maximum likelihood. Here we present raxmlGUI 2.0, a complete rewrite of the GUI which seamlessly integrates RAxML binaries for all major operating systems with an intuitive graphical front-end to set up and run phylogenetic analyses. Our program offers automated pipelines for analyses that require multiple successive calls of RAxML and built-in functions to concatenate alignment files while automatically specifying the appropriate partition settings. In addition to RAxML 8.x, raxmlGUI 2.0 also supports the new RAxML Next Generation. RaxmlGUI facilitates phylogenetic analyses by coupling an intuitive interface with the unmatched performance of RAxML.

Polo is a Python-based graphical user interface designed to streamline viewing and analysis of images to monitor crystal growth, with a specific target to enable users of the High-Throughput Crystallization Screening Center at Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) to efficiently inspect their crystallization experiments. Polo aims to increase efficiency, reducing time spent manually reviewing crystallization images, and to improve the potential of identifying positive crystallization conditions. Polo provides a streamlined one-click graphical interface for the Machine Recognition of Crystallization Outcomes (MARCO) convolutional neural network for automated image classification, as well as powerful tools to view and score crystallization images, to compare crystallization conditions, and to facilitate collaborative review of crystallization screening results. Crystallization images need not have been captured at HWI to utilize Polo's basic functionality. Polo is free to use and modify for both academic and commercial use under the terms of the copyleft GNU General Public License v3.0.

Graphical User Interface (GUI) is considered to be an essential part in any web applications development. Aspect-Oriented Component Engineering (AOCE) is new approach for developing more and higher quality reusable and adaptable software or web applications components. AOCE uses the idea of providing and requiring services. Adaptable user interface for AOCE based development has not yet been considered to web applications. Simple and easy user interface facilitate users by which application or web interface can be operated effectively. The purpose of this study is to discuss popular user interfaces and suggestions for adaptable GUI designing. The example of adaptation at different levels includes architecture, presentation, extension and composition. Furthermore the AOCE common systemic aspects are discussed for web interfaces adaptivity.

EDDIDAT is a MATLAB-based graphical user interface for the convenient and versatile analysis of energy-dispersive diffraction data obtained at laboratory and synchrotron sources. The main focus of EDDIDAT up to now has been on the analysis of residual stresses, but it can also be used to prepare measurement data for subsequent phase analysis or analysis of preferred orientation. The program provides access to the depth-resolved analysis of residual stresses at different levels of approximation. Furthermore, the graphic representation of the results also serves for the consideration of microstructural and texture-related properties. The included material database allows for the quick analysis of the most common materials and is easily extendable. The plots and results produced with EDDIDAT can be exported to graphics and text files. EDDIDAT is designed to analyze diffraction data from various energy-dispersive X-ray sources. Hence it is possible to add new sources and implement the device-specific properties into EDDIDAT. The program is freely available to academic users.

Machine learning has become one of the foremost techniques used for extracting knowledge from large amounts of data. The programming expertise required to implement machine learning algorithms has led to the rise of software products that simplify the process. Many of these systems however, have sacrificed simplicity as they evolved and included more features. In this study, a machine learning software with a simple graphical user interface was developed with a special focus on enhancing usability. The system made use of basic graphical interface elements such as buttons and textboxes. Comparison of the system with other similar open-source tools revealed that the developed system showed an improvement in usability over the other tools.

TheCCP4 (Collaborative Computational Project, Number 4) software suite for macromolecular structure determination by X-ray crystallography groups brings together many programs and libraries that, by means of well established conventions, interoperate effectively without adhering to strict design guidelines. Because of this inherent flexibility, users are often presented with diverse, even divergent, choices for solving every type of problem. Recently, CCP4 introducedCCP4i2, a modern graphical interface designed to help structural biologists to navigate the process of structure determination, with an emphasis on pipelining and the streamlined presentation of results. In addition,CCP4i2 provides a framework for writing structure-solution scripts that can be built up incrementally to create increasingly automatic procedures.
