Dialog Based on Graphical Static Scenes Managed by an Ontology
A new method to implementation of dialog based on graphical static scenes using an ontology-based
approach to user interface development is proposed. The main idea of the approach is to form necessary to the
user interface development and implementation information using ontologies and then based on this high-level
specification to generate the user interface
A Method of Estimating Usability of a User Interface Based on its Model
The article presents a new method to estimating usability of a user interface based on its model. The
principal features of the method are: creation of an expandable knowledge base of usability defects, detection
defects based on the interface model, within the design phase, and information to the developer not only about
existence of defects but also advice on their elimination
A Method of Context-sensitive Help Generation Using a Task Project
The article presents a new method to automatic generation of help in software. Help generation is
realized in the framework of the tool for development and automatic generation of user interfaces based on
ontologies. The principal features of the approach are: support for context-sensitive help, automatic generation of
help using a task project and an expandable system of help generation
How Close to Two Dimensions Does a Lennard-Jones System Need to Be to Produce a Hexatic Phase?
We report on a computer simulation study of a Lennard-Jones liquid confined
in a narrow slit pore with tunable attractive walls. In order to investigate
how freezing in this system occurs, we perform an analysis using different
order parameters. Although some of the parameters indicate that the system goes
through a hexatic phase, other parameters do not. This shows that to be certain
whether a system has a hexatic phase, one needs to study not only a large
system, but also several order parameters to check all necessary properties. We
find that the Binder cumulant is the most reliable one to prove the existence
of a hexatic phase. We observe an intermediate hexatic phase only in a
monolayer of particles confined such that the fluctuations in the positions
perpendicular to the walls are less then 0.15 particle diameters, i. e. if the
system is practically perfectly 2d
THE SYNESTHESIA AS THE COMPONENT OF AESTHETIC COMMUNICATIONS IN FIGURATIVE CONTEXTS SEMANTICALLY CONNECTED WITH MUSIC
The paper studies the phenomenon of synesthesia as an aesthetic category, adopted in Philosophy and Psycholinguistics, and as an aesthetic component of figurative contexts, semantically connected with a sphere of music in Hoffmann, Bulgakov and Süskind’s novels. The synesthesia is realized as implementation of an interperceptional associative thinking, connected with the category of an artistic aesthetic perception. The term “aesthetic synesthesia” is used as the definition for intermodal sensations verbalized by the language of a literary work.
