Pragmatic research issues confronting HCI practitioners when designing for universal access (2006)
Journal Article
Keates, S. (2006). Pragmatic research issues confronting HCI practitioners when designing for universal access. Universal Access in the Information Society, 5(3), 269-278. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10209-006-0050-z

Many HCI products exclude potential users unnecessarily. Such exclusion often arises because of a mismatch between designers? perceptions of the wants and needs of the end-user and their actual wants and needs. Sometimes the mismatch originates from...

A Lagrangian model for viscous incompressible flow past a stationary solid obstacle is developed in terms of the creation over successive instants of time of fluid impulse at the obstacle’s bounding surface. Upon creation this compactly supported vec... Read More about Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle..
