The cost-of-knowledge characteristic function
1994
Conference companion on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '94
In this paper we present a method, the Cost-of-Knowledge Characteristic Function, for characterizing information access from dynamic displays. ...
The paper works out this method for a simple, but important, class of dynamic displays called direct-walk interactive information visuatizations, in which information is accessed through a sequence of ...

Courtship in long-legged flies (Diptera: Dolichopodidae): function and evolution of signals
2003
Behavioral Ecology
Analyzing the courtship behavior of long-legged flies (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), we focus on the evolutionary development of courtship signals. ...
Long-legged flies may serve as a model for this evolutionary process, because males of some species present sexually dimorphic badges during courtship, whereas others do not exhibit such conspicuous signals ...
Comparing the visual information of both positions may reveal distance information. ...

Human Factors Considerations for Enabling Functional Use of Exosystems in Operational Environments
2018
IEEE Systems Journal
We present examples of these concepts in the context of exosystem design for operational environments and to aid the development of system evaluation standards. ...
We also review current exosystem evaluation methods and present how performance metrics and tasks can be expanded to better describe system function in the context of known human factors complexities. ...

Head and Tibial Acceleration as a Function of Stride Frequency and Visual Feedback during Running
2016
PLoS ONE
Furthermore, impact accelerations of the head and tibia appear to be solely a function of stride frequency as no differences were observed between feedback conditions. ...
Decreasing stride frequency resulted in greater vertical accelerations of the tibia (p<0.01) during early stance and at the head (p<0.01) during early and late stance; however, for the impact portion the ...
Statistical Analysis The effects of stride frequency and visual task on tibial and head accelerations, transfer function, and head gaze point dynamics were evaluated with a series of linear mixed model ...

Fashion vs. Function in Cultural Evolution: The Case of Dog Breed Popularity
2013
PLoS ONE
We investigate the relationship between characteristics of dog breeds and their popularity between years 1926 and 2005. ...
Our results support the hypothesis that dog breed popularity has been primarily determined by fashion rather than function. ...
