Radiation measurements in the new tandem accelerator FEL

The measurements of both spontaneous and stimulated emissions of radiation in the newly configured Israeli EA-FEL are made for the first time. The radiation at the W-band was measured and characterized. The results match the predictions of our earlier theoretical modeling and calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, FEL 2003 Conference repor

Crafting Effective User Interface Animations : Understanding the Complexity of Crafting User Interface Animations on Web Platforms

The purpose of this thesis is to cover widely the area of user interface animations in different lights and perspectives, in order to fully understand the complexity interactive producers, such as designer and developers, have to deal with in order to create good, well thought and well designed animated experience. The thesis is consisted of an introduction, 4 research chapters and final conclusion chapter. The first research part is an overview of user interface animation usage. The second part focuses on the basic animation principles in a user interface context. The third chapter outlines the results and analysis of a user behaviour research composed especially for this thesis, and the fourth part describes the complexity of crafting user interface animation from a technical perspective. The thesis combines collection of research methods in order to cover a wide range of aspects. While in the first and seconds chapters the main research method was to collect information from variety of sources in order to bring a wide overview to the reader, the third and the fourth chapter are using original research methods such as experimenting and testing, in order to dig deeper and put some of the statement from previous chapters on a practical trial
