The owners of a home on Whidbey Island between Coupeville and Langley desired to build a pavilion-type structure with views of the water. Due to the narrow site along the bluff, it required a substantial architectural solution for screening along the west. The design is a simple cedar-clad box without openings, that has been "carved-out" to expose the sheltered interior to carefully framed views, while creating covered outdoor spaces at the entry and waterside porch. The southeast corner was "eroded" so that the two guest suites are afforded water views despite being set back from the water. From inside, the overall effect is one of total seclusion.

This study tested a remote usability technique blending web analytics with user perception to assess user needs in two areas - content and style. Participants were invited from an online panel to complete tasks based on content in Firefly or Metagy, after which they answered questions about their experience. Results showed task completion rates, time taken, and users' ability to find correct information. Participants were also asked to finish or give up when done, and responders selected finish or gave up when complete. Researchers monitored all page interactions to measure actual experience. The sample provided a robust test of this remote usability method for evaluating user needs.

Data Citation from the perspective of tracking data reuseHeather Piwowar
1) Data citation practices are not standardized or widely adopted, making it difficult to track data reuse through citations. A review of 500 ecology and evolution articles found inconsistent practices.
2) Tracking citations to specific datasets can require extensive manual searching across multiple resources and reviewing full text, as demonstrated by a study that took 70-80 hours to find 116 citations to ORNL DAAC data.
3) Widespread adoption of best practices for data citation may initially reduce incentives for researchers, as adding citations requires more work. However, data citations must be valued by the community to become standard practice over the long run.

Towards Information-Theoretic Visualization Evaluation Measure: A Practical e...BELIV Workshop
The document summarizes the results of compressing and transposing a sample data matrix. Compressing the original matrix using gzip results in a file size of 57 bytes. Transposing and compressing the matrix increases the file size slightly to 62 bytes. The proposed solution matrix compresses to 49 bytes, and transposing and compressing further reduces the size to 47 bytes. Testing on this small sample problem indicates the proposed approach of transposing before compressing achieves better compression than directly compressing the original matrix.
