Abstract
This paper aims to explore user familiarity and difficulty in using central control touchscreens in New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) and assess the impact of these factors on users\u27 perceived usefulness and ease of use. Given the inadequacy of existing measurement tools to fully cover the complexities of NEV user interfaces and user diversity, we developed a new research instrument. This instrument is based on Cognitive Load Theory and Social Cognitive Theory, covering difficulty-related constructs such as System Complexity, User Diversity, Emerging Technologies, Emotional and Psychological Factors, as well as familiarity-related constructs including Consistency, Affordance, Conventions, User Research, and Error Handling. Through a pilot study conducted among Tesla car users in Chengdu, China, data were analyzed using SPSS (version 27) and SmartPLS (version 4) software to determine the reliability and validity of the research instrument. Results of the Cronbach\u27s alpha coefficients showed good internal consistency across constructs, ranging from 0.72 to 0.87, except for the "User Diversity" construct, which slightly fell below the acceptable threshold of 0.7 at 0.68. The study found that user familiarity and difficulty significantly influence the acceptance of central control touchscreens, indicating the need for designers to consider these factors in the development of NEV user interfaces. The results not only emphasize the importance of considering user familiarity and difficulty in NEV design but also provide crucial guidelines and assessment tools for future user interface design

Effects of Mechanical Activation Time and Speed on the Steel Slag Powder Characteristics for Wastewater Treatment
No full textSteel slag has a high iron content, which could be advantageous in producing iron-rich salt sources for wastewater treatment. Producing iron-rich residue from steel slag to be applied as ferrous sulfate demanded powder activation to achieve high absorption efficiency during coagulation. Mechanical activation via high-energy ball milling was one of the methods that could minimize the poor grindability of steel slag. The effect of milling time (2 h, 8 h, 10 h, and 20 h) and milling speed (200 rpm, 250 rpm, and 300 rpm) on the powder characteristics were observed on the as-milled powder. The phase identification of mineral composition presented the gehlenite, larnite, magnetite, quartz low, kyanite, and wuestite similar to that in raw steel slag. These phases’ crystallinity was more pronounced at 20 h and 300 rpm, indicating that the internal structure of the powder was altered through mechanical deformation during the milling process. The morphology of the as-milled steel slag with increasing milling time and speed showed a reduction of particle size and was more uniform. Milling time (up to 20 h) and speed (300 rpm) were identified as optimum parameters for producing the finest particle size, which is also supported by its surface area (3.356 m2/g). This study has obtained that increasing milling parameters in high-energy ball milling and speed could reduce the particle size of steel slag powder. The powder might be applied as a reducing agent in wastewater treatment
