Constructive interaction : a method for studying human-computer-human interaction. (1985)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Malley, C., Draper, S., & Riley, M. (1985, December). Constructive interaction : a method for studying human-computer-human interaction. Presented at Interact '84, Proceedings of the IFIP Conference

In this paper we describe a promising technique for studying human-machine interaction (HMI) called Constructive Interaction. We describe two pilot studies from a set which explores its application to HMI. Constructive Interaction was developed by Na...

Problems in evaluation of human-computer interfaces: a case study. (1985)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bannon, L., & O'Malley, C. (1985, December). Problems in evaluation of human-computer interfaces: a case study. Presented at Interact '84, Proceedings of the IFIP Conference.; London, England

One of the most difficult aspects of interface design is evaluating new or changed features of an interface. In this paper we discuss methods of evaluation, their strengths and weaknesses, in the context of a program we developed to assist users in g...

Planning nets: a framework for analyzing user-computer interactions. (1985)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Riley, M., & O'Malley, C. (1985, December). Planning nets: a framework for analyzing user-computer interactions. Presented at Interact '84, Proceedings of the IFIP Conference.; London, England

During the course of interacting with a computer, a user has goals that correspond to tasks to be performed and must plan how to achieve those goals with the available commands. We present a framework for analyzing user goals, the mapping between tho... Read More about Planning nets: a framework for analyzing user-computer interactions..

Massive black holes in galactic halos? (1985)
Journal Article
Lacey, C., & Ostriker, J. (1985). Massive black holes in galactic halos?. Astrophysical Journal, 299, 633-652. https://doi.org/10.1086/163729

The authors consider the idea that galaxy halos are composed of massive black holes as a possible resolution of two problems: the composition of dark halos, and the heating of stellar disks. It is found that in order to account for the amount of disk... Read More about Massive black holes in galactic halos?.

The Political Economy of the Ethiopian Famine (1985)
Journal Article
Snowdon, B. (online). The Political Economy of the Ethiopian Famine. National Westminster Bank quarterly review, 41-55

The theme is that the major determinants of famine in Africa are best understood by considering the wider economic and political processes which have been at work both at the national and international levels. Although the discussion concentrates on... Read More about The Political Economy of the Ethiopian Famine.

The development of concepts of simultaneity in childrens understanding of emotions. (1985)
Journal Article
Reissland, N. (1985). The development of concepts of simultaneity in childrens understanding of emotions. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 26(5), 811-824. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.1985.tb00594.x

The development of children's understanding of simultaneously occurring emotions was investigated. A developmental progression was found in their giving examples of ambivalent situations (e.g. characterised by both happiness and anger); and in their...

Chemical evolution of the galactic disk with radial gas flows (1985)
Journal Article
Lacey, C., & Fall, S. (1985). Chemical evolution of the galactic disk with radial gas flows. Astrophysical Journal, 290, 154-170. https://doi.org/10.1086/162970

Models are presented for the chemical evolution of the galactic disc with radial inflows of the gas at a velocity constant with time, but that may vary with the galactocentric radius. The models include the infall of metal-free gas from outside the d... Read More about Chemical evolution of the galactic disk with radial gas flows.
