Toward Better Interactions in Recommender Systems: Cycling and Serpentining A...Qian Zhao
An experience design perspective on recommenders: There is a tradeoff between serving come-and-go users vs. encouraging deeper interaction/engagement!
Better understanding of the trade-off between efficiency vs. engagement can help design a better recommender user experience!
Cycling and serpentining top-N recommendation lists have benefits (higher engagement) but also costs (negative perception)!
More work combining algorithms and user experience is needed!
Cycling efficiency refers to the ratio of energy output to energy input during cycling, and can be measured using calorimetry and power measurements. It represents the link between cellular energy production and performance. Efficiency varies between individuals and is determined by biomechanical factors like saddle height and cadence, as well as biochemical factors including muscle fiber type and enzyme activity. Efficiency typically improves with endurance training and may be further enhanced by high-intensity training, hypoxic training, or resistance training.
VO2max is a measure of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity. It represents the maximum amount of oxygen the body can utilize during intense exercise. VO2max is determined by maximum cardiac output and stroke volume and can be improved through endurance training, though there are genetic factors that influence its baseline level and responsiveness to training. It is typically measured using a metabolic cart during a graded exercise test to volitional exhaustion.
Chapter 5: Learning theories related to educationa Technologyosorio486
This document discusses learning theories related to educational technology. It describes three major learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors and reinforcement. Cognitivism focuses on how information is processed, stored, and retrieved. Constructivism views learning as an active process where learners construct new ideas based on their existing knowledge and experiences. The document also provides principles for effective instruction, technology utilization, media utilization, and text utilization that align with these theories.

Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
