abstract = {<p class="rtejustify"><span style="font-size:12px">Touch-sensitive screens enable natural interaction without any instrumentation and support tangible feedback on the touch surface. In particular multi-touch interaction has proven its usability for 2D tasks, but the challenges to exploit these technologies in virtual reality (VR) setups have rarely been studied. In this paper we address the challenge to allow users to interact with stereoscopically displayed virtual environments when the input is constrained to a 2D touch surface. During interaction with a large-scale touch display a user changes between three different states: (1) beyond the arm-reach distance from the surface, (2) at arm-reach distance and (3) interaction. We have analyzed the usertextquoterights ability to discriminate stereoscopic display parallaxes while she moves through these states, i. e., if objects can be imperceptibly shifted onto the interactive surface and become accessible for natural touch interaction. Our results show that the detection thresholds for such manipulations are related to both user motion and stereoscopic parallax, and that users have problems to discriminate whether they touched an object or not, when tangible feedback is expected.</span></p>},

abstract = {<p>This paper explores how different interfaces to a problemsolving task affect how users perform it. Specifically, it focuses on a customized version of the game of Four-in-arow and compares play on a physical, tangible game board with that conducted in mouse and touch-screen driven virtual versions. This is achieved through a repeated measures study involving a total of 36 participants and which explicitly assesses aspects of cognitive work through measures of time task, subjective workload, the projection of mental constructs onto external structures and the occurrence of explanatory epistemic actions. The results highlight the relevance of projection and epistemic action to this problem-solving task and suggest that the different interface forms afford instantiation of these activities in different ways.

<p>This paper explores how different interfaces to a problemsolving task affect how users perform it. Specifically, it focuses on a customized version of the game of Four-in-arow and compares play on a physical, tangible game board with that conducted in mouse and touch-screen driven virtual versions. This is achieved through a repeated measures study involving a total of 36 participants and which explicitly assesses aspects of cognitive work through measures of time task, subjective workload, the projection of mental constructs onto external structures and the occurrence of explanatory epistemic actions. The results highlight the relevance of projection and epistemic action to this problem-solving task and suggest that the different interface forms afford instantiation of these activities in different ways. The tangible version of the system supports the most rapid execution of these actions and future work on this topic should explore the unique advantages of tangible interfaces in supporting epistemic actions</p>

Serum complement enhances the responses of genotoxin- and oxidative stress-sensitive Escherichia coli bioreporters Journal Article

abstract = {<p>Bacterial bioreporters are limited in their abilities to detect large polar molecules due to their membrane selectivity. In this study, the activity of serum complement was used to bypass this undesired selectivity. Initially, the serum complement activity was assessed using the responses of a bacterial bioreporter harboring a recA::luxCDABE transcriptional fusion when exposed to the chemotherapy drug, mitomycin C (MMC). Using 50 °C-treated serum, the limit of detection for this bacterial sensor was lowered by nearly 450-fold, from 31 μg/L to 0.07 μg/L MMC. Real-time quantitative PCR demonstrated that serum-treated cultures responded more strongly to 100 μg/L MMC, with 3.1-fold higher recA expression levels. Subsequent experiments with other bioreporter strains also found enhanced sensitivities and responses. Finally, combining each of the above findings, tests were performed to demonstrate the potential application of the recA::luxCDABE bioreporter within a lab-on-a-CD platform as a point-of-care diagnostic to measure chemotherapeutic drug concentrations within blood.</p>},
