From facet-based to visualised digital library interfaces : an empirical study of user experiences with digital libraries

Barifah, Maram Hassan ; Crestani, Fabio (Dir.) ; Landoni, Monica (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021INFO004.

Digital library (DL) systems in the last decade have provided an unprecedented access to library content that were confined to their physical spaces. The last twenty years of the DL system renovation have witnessed several generations of online catalogs from the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) late 1980s, to the next generation catalog systems (NGC). DL systems are extensively used to...

Cutaneous inputs to dorsal column nuclei in adult macaque monkeys subjected to unilateral lesion of the primary motor cortex or of the cervical spinal cord and treatments promoting axonal growth

Savidan, Julie ; Beaud, Marie-Laure ; Rouiller, Eric M.

In: Neuroscience Insights, 2020, vol. 15, p. 2633105520973991

The highly interconnected somatosensory and motor systems are subjected to connectivity changes at close or remote locations following a central nervous system injury. What is the impact of unilateral injury of the primary motor cortex (hand area; MCI) or of the cervical cord (hemisection at C7-C8 level; SCI) on the primary somatosensory (cutaneous) inputs to the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) in...

The digital privacy paradox

Zurbirggen, Gina ; Markus, Gabor (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 76.

Over the past 10 years, numerous scandals involving personal data shocked the world. In 2013, the whistle blower Edward Snowden came forward and disclosed various worldwide government surveillance programs (Jill Lepore, 2019). In 2018 the Cambridge Analytica scandal erupted, revealing that the so-called behavior changing agency had without consent harvested the personal data of millions of...

Perception-aware computational fabrication : increasing the apparent gamut of digital fabrication

Piovarči, Michal ; Didyk, Piotr (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO015.

Haptic and visual feedback are important for assessing objects' quality and affordance. One of the benefits of additive manufacturing is that it enables the creation of objects with personalized tactile and visual properties. This personalization is realized by the ability to deposit functionally graded materials at microscopic resolution. However, faithfully reproducing real-world objects on a...

Reducing simulator sickness with perceptual camera control

Hu, Ping ; Sun, Qi ; Didyk, Piotr ; Wei, Li-Yi ; Kaufman, Arie E.

In: ACM transactions on graphics, 2020, vol. 38, no. 6, p. 15 p

Virtual-reality provides an immersive environment but can induce cybersickness due to the discrepancy between visual and vestibular cues. To avoid this problem, the movement of the virtual camera needs to match the motion of the user in the real world. Unfortunately, this is usually difficult due to the mismatch between the size of the virtual environments and the space available to the users...

Neuroticism in the digital age : a meta-analysis

Marciano, Laura ; Camerini, Anne-Linda ; Schulz, Peter J.

In: Computers in human behavior reports, 2020, vol. 2, no. August–December, p. 14 p

The pervasiveness of the Internet has raised concern about its (problematic) use and the potentially negative impact on people's health. Neuroticism has been identified as one potential risk factor of Internet and other online addictions. To obtain a comprehensive quantitative synthesis of the association of neuroticism and both overall and problematic Internet activities, a meta-analysis was...
