Perceptual Image Processing for Digital Edge Linking (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., Randall, J., & Guan, L. (2003, May). Perceptual Image Processing for Digital Edge Linking. Presented at Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering, Montreal, Canada

This paper presents two methods of digital edge linking that have a reasonable correlation with psychological properties employed by human users. In the first method, each endpoint is linked to the point judged to be its best match under the criteria... Read More about Perceptual Image Processing for Digital Edge Linking.

The Modifier Subunit of Drosophila Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Regulates Catalytic Activity by Covalent and Noncovalent Interactions and Influences Glutathione Homeostasis in Vivo (2003)
Journal Article
Fraser, J. A., Kansagra, P., Kotecki, C., Saunders, R. D. C., & McLellan, L. I. (2003). The Modifier Subunit of Drosophila Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Regulates Catalytic Activity by Covalent and Noncovalent Interactions and Influences Glutathione Homeostasis in Vivo. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 278(47), 46369-46377. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m308035200

Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) has a key influence on glutathione homeostasis. It has been proposed that mammalian GCL is regulated by the redox environment, and we show here that cysteine residues in the Drosophila melanogaster GCL modifier subunit...

Activity theory: another perspective on task analysis. (2003)
Book Chapter
Turner, P., & McEwan, T. (2003). Activity theory: another perspective on task analysis. In D. Diaper, & N. Stanton (Eds.), The Handbook of Task Analysis for Human-Computer Interaction (423-444). CRC Press

In this chapter, we introduce activity theory, describing its origins and its principal researchers and thinkers. We stress its descriptive power and its usefulness in defining uniquely a unit of analysis for work. We contrast its development with th...
