Mobile devices with multi-touch capabilities are becoming increasingly common, largely due to the success of the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. While there have been some advances in touchscreen accessibility for blind people, touchscreens remain inaccessible in many ways. Recent research has demonstrated that there is great potential in leveraging multi-touch capabilities to increase the accessibility of touchscreen applications for blind people. We have created No-Look Notes, an eyes-free text entry system that uses multi-touch input and audio output. No-Look Notes was implemented on Apple's iPhone platform. We have performed a within-subjects (n = 10) user study of both No-Look Notes and the text entry component of Apple's VoiceOver, the recently released official accessibility component on the iPhone. No-Look Notes significantly outperformed VoiceOver in terms of speed, accuracy and user preference.

the user's intention is reflected in not only the actual input action but the ones immediately before it as well. "P-Recognition" recognizes the preceding actions, and predicts the intention just when the actual action starts. this paper tests P-Recognition in a pen-based map navigation interface as an example, where the map is panned by user's dragging strokes and zoomed by user's enclosure by a circle. the feasibility of the proposal is confirmed in an experiment. We find that dragging and circling actions are distinguishable before the pen touches the screen. Moreover, for some users we can recognize their intention to write text. It is confirmed that the user's intention is present in the preceding actions and so is detectable.

the article considers the problems of R&D-quality costs management tools application in terms of entering new international markets. In the context of globalization of national economies, a key factor in the economic growth of any country is to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of innovation processes in enterprises. A necessary prerequisite for innovative activities of enterprises are R&D activities, for the conduct of which enterprises need certain resources, which ultimately identifies focus of research on R&D-quality costs management. the studied problem is widely discussed in Ukraine given the current geopolitical and socioeconomic transformation. the article considers the current specifics of the problems that arise in enterprises which apply various tools to manage the cost of R&D quality in terms of entering new international markets. the main tools, features and problems in the process of R&D-quality costs management tools application, the level of support for innovation by business entities and research are analyzed. Trend models based on indicators of Ukrainian enterprises performing R&D activities are built.

Experience has shown that unreinforced arch bridges are very durable structures in comparison to other bridge forms. Queen's University Belfast in collaboration with Macrete Ltd have developed a flat pack FlexiArch™ bridge made of unreinforced precast concrete voussoirs, connected with a polymeric geotextile reinforcement. this ParagridTM reinforcement contains polyester strands inside a protective plastic sheath, and carries the self-weight of the arch when lifted. this paper details research into the behaviour of a FlexiArch bridge system and builds upon previous developmental work in the collaboration. Laboratory tests were carried out on one third-scale arch rings which were backfilled with scaled and carefully graded backfill. the main aim was to investigate the behaviour of similar arches made with hollow and solid voussoirs, as well as varying ring thickness. As the polymeric reinforcement is required during the construction phase, a reduction in self-weight of the arch is highly beneficial. It was found that the behaviour of the arch ring with hollow voussoirs was similar to that with solid voussoirs. Results from both geotechnical tests on the graded backfill and non-linear finite element analyses of the arches are also presented here.

the proliferation of smartphones has changed our style of handling personal information and documents. they used to be stored in personal computers, but now they are becoming to be managed in the smartphone. Since this trend accelerates sharing information among many people using smartphones, efficient file transfer among smartphones is important. When a file is transferred from a smartphone to multiple other smartphones using Wi-Fi Direct, making a copy from the source to the rest of all smartphones does not necessarily provide the shortest transfer time because some link may suffer from weak wireless connection. Based on the background, we design FTroid, a system to provide a near-optimal file transfer among multiple smartphones. In this paper we describe how routers are determined in FTroid and its preliminary evaluation.
