The document describes a man's experience living abroad in a Latin American country and nearly dying from a severe staph infection. He developed multiple staph infections over the years that resulted in many scars. Eventually, a large infection in his armpit spread to his bloodstream, causing septic shock. He fell into a coma for 5 days and experienced terrifying hallucinations that he calls "the dark place." After intensive treatment, he recovered but had significant medical bills and a difficult experience leaving the hospital. The story aims to share a cautionary tale about health risks abroad and the importance of faith.

The document discusses the aggressiveness of the wheat stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis and its role in the spread and evolution of the pathogen. It notes that a highly aggressive lineage of P. striiformis has been spreading rapidly worldwide since first being detected in 2000. This aggressive lineage is serving as a background for the evolution of new virulent races, with a new race V(Yr27) recently identified. The conclusion recommends that aggressiveness should be included in wheat rust surveys due to its importance as a driver of the spread and evolution of P. striiformis, though this would require additional specialized facilities, staff, and time.

Information in the new world: Can we make cancer data count?MHP Communications
The document discusses how cancer data and information can be better utilized. It argues that both a supply side information revolution to improve data collection and quality, as well as a demand side revolution to increase use of data by commissioners, providers, and patients is needed. Examples are given of how data could help commissioners prioritize issues, providers target quality improvements, and patients make informed healthcare choices. Overall, the document advocates that while progress has been made in collecting cancer data, more must be done to translate that intelligence into actions that improve outcomes.

The document discusses four cases in Australia where introduced wheat rust genotypes rapidly increased and displaced existing genotypes between 1925-2002. In each case, the new rust race was more aggressive but did not have additional virulence traits. Evidence supports the introduced races being more aggressive. The document also discusses examples of how increased pathogen aggressiveness can overcome minor gene resistance in wheat varieties. Separating the effects of virulence and aggressiveness is difficult but important for resistance breeding. Australian breeders have generally been successful in responding to aggressive rust incursions.
The document summarizes a man's experience living abroad in Latin America and falling extremely ill with a severe staph infection. He developed sepsis and fell into a coma for 5 days, experiencing vivid hallucinations and memories of a "dark place." Through intensive treatment, he survived but was left traumatized. The story serves as a warning about the risks of living abroad without insurance and crossing borders into places with less advanced healthcare systems.
The document discusses a conversation held by PwC Australia in July 2011 about what Australians wanted to grow. Many respondents said they wanted to grow their families and spend more quality time with family members. Others wanted to have more children or expand their family. Many also expressed a desire for better work-life balance and financial stability to support their family.

Atmel - Designing Feature-Rich User Interfaces for Home and Industrial Contro...Atmel Corporation
We have all become familiar with intuitive user interfaces on our smartphones, tablets, and personal media players. Yet these concepts are still being introduced in the world of many home controls or industrial automation applications. The use of MIMIC diagrams and traditional switches and rotary controls are still commonplace on much industrial equipment. Most home thermostats are still mechanical. There are some very good reasons for this. Gloved hands, moisture, and condensation can play havoc with touchscreen controls. The industrial operating environment may dictate large switches for these reasons. Safety considerations may warrant the use of traditional control mechanisms such as switches.
Nevertheless, equipment manufacturers are keen to update both the functionality and cosmetic aesthetics of their products. Industrial automation equipment is increasingly networked. For home automation applications there is a need to provide an integrated display and control function for heating and ventilation, media-center and smart-energy monitoring. You need a higher performance microprocessor, but with a more intuitive, easy-to-understand user interface (UI).

Background: Wendy Lee, manager of college services at Mountain View College, wants a new information system that will improve efficiency and customer service at the three college bookstores.
In this part of the case, Tina Allen (systems analyst) and David Conroe (student intern) are talking about user interface design issues.
Participants:
Tina and David
Location:
Mountain View College Cafeteria, Monday afternoon, November 25, 2013
Project status:
Tina and David have examined development strategies for the new bookstore system. After performing cost-benefit analysis, they recommended in-house development of the new bookstore system. Now they are ready to begin the systems design phase by working on user interface design for the new system.
Discussion topics:
User interface design concepts and principles
Tina:
Hi, David. Ready to start work on user interface design?
David:
Sure. Will we start with output because it’s important to users?
Tina:
Output is very important, but the most important issue for users is the interface itself. For example, is it easy to learn? Is it easy to work with? We’ll try to design everything — output, input, and all the other elements — from a user’s point of view.
David:
How do we do that?
Tina:
Well, many sources of information about effective design concepts and principles are available. We’ll study those, and then ask our own users for their input and suggestions.
David:
What about input and data entry?
Tina:
Good question, You’ve heard the old saying, “garbage in, garbage out.” User interface principles apply to user input generally, but repetitive data entry deserves special attention. We need to creat ...

1. Developing the HMI
Introduction
Developing a human-machine interface (HMI) is a long and complex process that occurs
years before deployment. The primary concern is safety, and the HMI has to be
transparently usable, ideally as a natural and seamless extension of the body. Cockpit
design also must accommodate a seamless integration of mobile devices and services. It
must be intuitive, readily discernible (readable), ergonomic, and stress-free. The very word
“cockpit” gives us a clue that a great deal of design considerations for the modern
automobile interior is derived from aircraft [1]. While displays may not be as complex as
that of an airliner they can present issues concerning safety and ease of use, even if some
features switched off while driving or are available only when stopped. Many instrument
panel designs are emerging, as can be illustrated by accessing You Tube, but how does one
develop an HMI properly? We take you through the basic process, emphasizing industry
best practices. Bother developers and users can benefit from the discussion that follows in
judging whether an HMI is satisfactory.
Optimizing the HMI development process
Designing an HMI follows a series of steps that have been pretty much standardized in the
field as best industry practices for developing technology in general. Development is
accomplished in these basic steps:
1. Specification - recording user needs and wants
2. Assessing availability of technology and limitations of environment
3. Design
4. Development – construction on the HMI – manufacturing processes, etc.
5. Verification – checking to see if what is developed matches design intent
6. Testing – unit (each gauge), system, functional, user, interoperability, load, stress
7. Validation – determining if HMI does what is intended
8. Documentation
9. Accepting and building on user feedback – iterative design and development

2. Many of the concepts and considerations for developing graphical user interfaces (GUI) for
aircraft, power plants, and computers are transferable to the development of HMIs.
User needs and requirements
Before designing an HMI, one must assess the user's needs and wants. Above all are safety
factors. HMI systems focus on three basic areas: vehicle operation, information, and
entertainment. For safety, the system must be reliable, doing what it was intended to do.
It must not distract the driver. It should advise the driver how to respond to a safety issue.
In terms of operating the vehicle, the HMI must report meaningful and accurate information
and allow appropriate and effective responses. Critical systems, such as brakes and steering
need to be monitored for wear and functionality. Supporting systems, such as electrical and
cooling, need to report their status periodically and more often if there is a possibility of
system failure. While not normally in the classification of safety concerns, at times, general
information can be vital, such as telling the user of road conditions ahead or events that can
affect how accessible a route is. Entertainment functions of an HMI, such as videos, games
should not be accessible to the driver but can provide a valuable function in keeping
passengers, especially children, preoccupied and not disturbing the driver.
In assessing the availability of technology two considerations must be made: actual
availability of the technology and its efficacy. For example, attempting to design a car that
anticipates a person's needs, as in neural network technology may be feasible within a
certain margin of error, but not acceptable when 100% assurance is needed in a safety-
related situation. Here, one would need a device that responds completely and accurately
all the time, and until we have built artificial brains with attendant consciousness, the design
goal is not realistic. Neural network technology, however, for entertainment purposes, may
be fine.
HMI design – general principles
A designer should make sure that the essential features in an HMI are displayed prominently
and controls are immediately accessible. Entertainment-related features should be
inaccessible to the driver. Displays, themselves may be a head-up type, where the driver
does not have to take the eyes off the road but merely look ahead to see the information,
usually on the windshield [2]. The user should not have to think about where to look or go
through any special physical motions to use the controls. Implementation of different

3. intuitive operational concepts should be foremost. Touch pad technology is a prominent
example. It is best to have instrumentation and interactive devices comply with user needs
and expectations rather than to have the user adapt to the HMI. A system physically may
work quite well functionally but be worthless if it is not user friendly. One option is to have
the HMI programmable, or customizable.
Information presentation should be simple and organized according to importance and
accessibility. Important information should not be readable at the same time as optional
information. Critical information should be always prominent and in one place. Do not
present the driver with too much information from which has to be gleaned the important
data. Valuable time can be lost with accidents resulting if a driver is taking undue time to
parse what s/he needs from the field of everything else. Labeling should be in readily
understood terms, and should be pictorial, if possible. There should be no ambiguity in what
the display means or how to interact with it. For Westerners the reading pattern is left to
right, and although drivers usually have to take tests in the language of the country in which
the vehicle is driven, bilingual persons may habitually be searching according to their native
scan pattern, such as Orientals, those reading Hebrew, and persons from Arabic-speaking
countries. This means that to accommodate both left-to-right and right-to-left scan patterns
and the fact that most persons are right-handed, important data should be in the center or
upper right. Controls should be in the lower right, as this is the next area to be scanned
after the upper right.
Display
As to the actual display itself, these factors should be kept in mind [3]:
1. Where appropriate present information graphically, such as with analogue meters
or moving bars, rather than alpha-numerically.
2. Line up numeric values and always show clear labels with units.
3. Use a sans serif font, such as Arial, to minimize detail. To enhance contrast, use
both upper and lower case – (as in titles). Use one font if possible.
4. Characters and objects should be viewable readily from normal viewpoints, often
eighteen inches to three feet and have good contrast and backlighting. For
example, at 500 mm, or 19.5 inches, the type size should be 3.1 mm, or 0.12
inches [4]

4. 5. Use different icons for different digitally presented information.
6. Objects should have a black outline.
7. Related items should be grouped graphically or physically. Critical items should
be out front and prominently displayed.
8. Clearly present exactly what happens when a control is actuated. The operator
needs to have immediate feedback. If an action is required, make that plain and
unambiguous.
9. Do not clutter the environment with detail and colors. Some people literally are
color blind. A good idea is to use the same iconization as is used in the universal
and international traffic signage.
10.Use standardized alarm colors: red for critical or immediate, yellow for warning,
and green for status OK or proceed. The obvious and familiar model is the traffic
light.
11.Make the background a muted, pastel or neutral color.
12.Use contrast. Dark images and characters should be against a light background.
13.Color is only an auxiliary way of displaying information. Use icons, words, and
positions to enhance the information.
14.It is best to have warnings that are as close to real life as possible. Coolant that
is getting too hot, for example, might be displayed by vessel boiling over [5].
Development
A number of materials and production methods exist, but these must follow the design
specifications, based on user input, environmental conditions, and available technology. The
display cluster and control need to be lightweight but durable, magnesium-based metals and
hard plastics being preferable. However, material should be environmentally friendly, either
biodegradable or easily recyclable. A major problem with computers has been the ability to
dispose of the hardware. Obviously, durability and reliability need to be built in. Software in
the manufacturing process, from computer assisted design to manufacture control systems
needs to be developed and tested rigorously. HMI displays, as well as the design and
manufacturing process rest on a software platform, and the software development process,
itself should follow development standards, such with the ISO/IEC 12207 Standard for
Information Technology— Software life cycle processes: 12207.0 - 12207.2. All processes
from procurement to SW retirement are covered. The Capability Maturity Model Integration

5. (CMMI), as well as the Rational Unified Process, are coupled with the 12207 standard for a
well-rounded software life cycle.
Testing, verification, and validation
Testing consumes most of the time in the development process. There is physical testing
and user testing. Physical testing may be broken down into categories, such as:
• unit, where each component, such as a gauge or a button, is tested to see if it
works
• system, consisting if all the components together physically work
• functional, to see if the system and components do what the designer intended,
often called “validation testing”
• interoperability testing to see if the system can work together with other systems
and devices (smart or mesh networks)
• user testing to see if the resulting system not only meets needs and expectations
but allows for seamless interaction between the user and system. Users from all
walks of life, physical characteristics, and cultures should be involved. Testing
should be done under many conditions – environmental, psychological, and HMI
type. Various conditions under which the vehicle may be in should be replicated.
Results should be compared to verification reports, i.e., what the designer
intended, and to what user desired and anticipated outcomes are.
Two types of testing are used on the final system: simulations and live (with actual person in
real environment). There also is the need to see if the product matches the intent.
Verification is determining whether the design matches the requirements. In essence, it is a
checklist to see if what was intended in an HMI actually is there. Validation is determining
whether the design works as intended, and this accomplished by simulations and actual user
testing.
Simulators, such as the fixed base driving simulator (Virtual Vehicle Driving Simulator) are
the best way to do initial testing for the same rationale crash test dummies are used in
assessing vehicle integrity in accidents [6]. However, t type of simulator can make a
difference in testing a car; such as the extent of road view affecting a driver’s reactions [7].
When the HMI test is done in a modeling and simulation environment, the environment must
be as close to reality as possible [8].

6. Documentation
While this section is the smallest, it is, perhaps, the most important. While the HMI should
be intuitively obvious how to use, the developer can be so arrogant as to think that this
always will be the case. The general rule of thumb for documentation is that the user should
be able to do exactly what the writer intended in the documentation. Terminology should be
consistent and clear and accompanied by crisp close-up and in-context photographs of the
HMI, with each part labeled with the words in the narrative. There should be step-by-step
procedures with a description of what happens before, during, and after interactions. As
with the HMI, itself, documentation should be user tested to see if anyone not ever having
seen the HMI can do exactly what was intended by the designer. A feedback system needs
to be in place to give the developers input as to whether the documentation has good quality
and whether the HMI, itself, is useful. The HMI, after all, is a type of documentation of what
is in the vehicle.
