O património arquitetónico e o uso das tecnologias no tour virtual 360 graus

This article aims to discuss the role of architectural historical heritage in Brazil and how we can re-signify / preserve its importance using digital information technologies, more precisely a 360º virtual tour tool. The research was based on the Adaptive Web Interface Design Process proposed by Batista (2008), to create a virtualization platform. In addition to the guidelines for its construction, some tools were developed for the implementation of a 360º platform to promote the democratization of access to architectural heritage or also called historic cities

Modern Methods of Usability Engineering of User Interface for Weboriented Environment

The article discusses methods and tools applied for wireframing of web-environment usability engineering. Modern approaches used for wireframing via web service moqups.com. are considered. In today's world, people have to spend a lot of time at the computer therefore an important factor in the user's work with the software becomes human-machine interaction. Web-interface design taking into account all the ergonomic standards is able to reduce stress and fatigue of users as well as to improve the quality of work and satisfaction. Now, when designing user interfaces, insufficient attention is paid to ergonomics and convenience. In this paper, we use an expert approach. This method allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed product when used.

LOMETS2: improved meta-threading server for fold-recognition and structure-based function annotation for distant-homology proteins

The LOMETS2 server (https://zhanglab.ccmb.med.umich.edu/LOMETS/) is an online meta-threading server system for template-based protein structure prediction. Although the server has been widely used by the community over the last decade, the previous LOMETS server no longer represents the state-of-the-art due to aging of the algorithms and unsatisfactory performance on distant-homology template identification. An extension of the server built on cutting-edge methods, especially techniques developed since the recent CASP experiments, is urgently needed. In this work, we report the recent advancements of the LOMETS2 server, which comprise a number of major new developments, including (i) new state-of-the-art threading programs, including contact-map-based threading approaches, (ii) deep sequence search-based sequence profile construction and (iii) a new web interface design that incorporates structure-based function annotations. Large-scale benchmark tests demonstrated that the integration of the deep profiles and new threading approaches into LOMETS2 significantly improve its structure modeling quality and template detection, where LOMETS2 detected 176% more templates with TM-scores >0.5 than the previous LOMETS server for Hard targets that lacked homologous templates. Meanwhile, the newly incorporated structure-based function prediction helps extend the usefulness of the online server to the broader biological community.

Determine Democracy in Web Design

This chapter serves as an introduction to apply seven indicators in examining democracy on web interface design. It introduces a new measuring instrument to assist in determining a nation's democracy level so that democracy can be measured not only by traditional methods (surveys, case studies, questionnaires, interviews, and observations) but also through the study of web interface design. As a result, it extends cultural and political studies into the fields of human-computer interaction and user interface design.
