Redesigning the User-Interface: The Use of Colours in nopE-Commerce Enterprise Software

This paper appraises the relevance of e-commerce enterprise software in contemporary business management. Enterprise packages are technological applications that automate business activities and improve efficiency in the business workflow. The study enunciated the critical role of administrating the backend of enterprise software to manage the front-end which is accessible to users. The user interface of e-commerce enterprise backend is essential in enhancing user’s performance on the software. The study explores the psychological and physiological properties of colours in redesigning the nopE-commerce enterprise software for the backend user interface to enhance the efficiency of the administrators. The objectives of the study are to download the existing the backend of nopE-commerce enterprise software, to recreate the backend of nopE-commerce enterprise software and to introduce colours into the redesigned user interface backend of nopE-commerce enterprise software. The redesigned user-interface was subjected to the evaluation of one hundred (100) selected back-end administrators working in Lagos. The responses of participants were analysed using the 5-point Likert Scale to generate mean results. The results indicated that colours stimulate actions and feelings, user interface colours in virtual environment determines the efficiency of the system and the creative interplay of orange and blue colour in e-commerce back-end user interface enhances the performance of backend managers.

Completion Times

STP uses a custom enterprise software application called RICTCal to calculate risk informed completion times (RICTs). Besides providing the end user interface to the calculation engine, the software also creates electronic regulatory-required reports that are automatically filed in the plant records management system. In addition to regulatory-required information on risk informed completion times and risk managed action times (RMATs), the software provides additional configuration risk information such as risk for reactor trip. The computation methodology and design of the software is described as well as required input data to support the calculation.

The diverse functions of retinal amacrine cells are reliant on the physiological properties of their synapses. Here we examine the role of mitochondria as Ca2+ buffering organelles in synaptic transmission between GABAergic amacrine cells. We used the protonophore p-trifluoromethoxy-phenylhydrazone (FCCP) to dissipate the membrane potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane that normally sustains the activity of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter. Measurements of cytosolic Ca2+ levels reveal that prolonged depolarization-induced Ca2+ elevations measured at the cell body are altered by inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. Furthermore, an analysis of the ratio of Ca2+ efflux on the plasma membrane Na-Ca exchanger to influx through Ca2+ channels during voltage steps indicates that mitochondria can also buffer Ca2+ loads induced by relatively brief stimuli. Importantly, we also demonstrate that mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake operates at rest to help maintain low cytosolic Ca2+ levels. This aspect of mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering suggests that in amacrine cells, the normal function of Ca2+-dependent mechanisms would be contingent upon ongoing mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. To test the role of mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering at amacrine cell synapses, we record from amacrine cells receiving GABAergic synaptic input. The Ca2+ elevations produced by inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+uptake are localized and sufficient in magnitude to stimulate exocytosis, indicating that mitochondria help to maintain low levels of exocytosis at rest. However, we found that inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake during evoked synaptic transmission results in a reduction in the charge transferred at the synapse. Recordings from isolated amacrine cells reveal that this is most likely due to the increase in the inactivation of presynaptic Ca2+ channels observed in the absence of mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering. These results demonstrate that mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering plays a critical role in the function of amacrine cell synapses.

AbstractRecent prevalence estimates for autism have been alarming as a function of the notable increase. Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in screening, assessment and intervention for children with autism. This article reviews signs that may be indicative of autism at different stages of language development, and discusses the importance of several psychometric properties—sensitivity and specificity—in utilizing screening measures for children with autism. Critical components of assessment for children with autism are reviewed. This article concludes with examples of intervention targets for children with ASD at various levels of language development.
