Information tasks toward a user-centered approach to information systems
No full textIntroduction / Bryce Allen -- Information needs and information design / Bryce Allen -- Expressing information needs / Bryce Allen -- Designing systems to meet expressed information needs / Bryce Allen -- Information tasks : interacting with information systems / Bryce Allen -- Design details for information systems / Bryce Allen -- An introduction to user-centered information-system design / Bryce Allen -- Information services from the user's perspective / Bryce Allen -- Information institutions / Bryce Allen -- Conclusion : user-centered design and evaluation / Bryce Allen -- Information needs / Bryce AllenThe user-centered approach is central to the creation of usable information systems, services, and institutions. Information system design should derive from user research into information needs, tasks accomplished in meeting those needs, and resources used in the tasks. Information Tasks summarizes user research, then presents design sketches of systems that illustrate how design is linked to research. Also discussed are usable information services and an overview of the organization and economics of information institutions. This comprehensive user-centered approach provides an agenda for information research, design, and education that challenges many accepted beliefs and suggests new directions for information work. Information Tasks is of interest to library and information science students and faculty interested in information storage and retrieval, user studies, and systems analysis design. Students and scholars of human factors in systems design, human-computer interaction, and cognitive engineering also find the text useful. It reviews user research from many disciplines, and links research to practical design issues. It provides a unified model for user studies and user-centered design, and includes how-to summaries of design chapters. It shows how designers can investigate their user communities. It provides a general template for the design process. It integrates all aspects of information design, and discusses library issues in the larger information contex

Bryce DeWitt referee report on paper, "Everett's Theory and the 'Many Worlds' Interpretation"
No full textAround 1988, Bryce DeWitt was asked to referee a paper by an author who argued that that DeWitt's version of Hugh Everett's theory was not true to Everett's original work. In his referee report, DeWitt offers to "set the record straight" about his interpretation of Everett's work. This is a copy of DeWitt's referee report. A version of the reviewed paper was subsequently published in 1990 in the American Journal of Physics. At the request of the DeWitt estate, the name of the author of the paper has been redacted.

Carissa Bryce Christensen
No full textCarissa Bryce Christensen is an internationally known expert on the space industry and technology forecasting. She led the creation of widely used data tools now considered global metrics for the commercial space and satellite sectors, providing non-advocate, data-driven insights. She is a frequent speaker and author on space and satellite trends, serves as a strategic advisor to government and commercial clients, and has been an expert witness and testified before Congress on market dynamics. Ms. Christensen is the CEO of Bryce Space and Technology, LLC (formerly a division of The Tauri Group), an analytic consulting firm. She is also an active investor in technology-focused startups and advises several companies she has helped seed. She serves on the board of QxBranch, an early stage quantum computing firm.
Ms. Christensen holds a Master of Public Policy degree from Harvard University\u27s Kennedy School of Government, where she specialized in science and technology policy. She also completed the General Course in Government at the London School of Economics and was a Douglass Scholar at Rutgers University.
Ms. Christensen is an Associate Fellow of The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Association.https://commons.erau.edu/space-congress-bios-2018/1022/thumbnail.jp
Microlensing of circumstellar envelopes: II. emission lines from radial and azimuthal flow during fold caustic crossings
No full textThis paper examines the line profile evolution due to bulk motion in circumstellar envelopes during microlensing fold caustic crossing events. These events have recently been shown to be a sensitive probe of stellar surface brightness profiles, thus providing a means - through both photometric and spectroscopic observations - to constrain and test stellar atmosphere models. Here it is demonstrated, through the examination of simplified line profiles, that spectroscopic studies of fold caustic crossings could also prove to be a powerful diagnostic of bulk motion in circumstellar envelopes
Managing the Magic: Technical Direction of The Secret Garden
No full textBRYCE DALE ALLEN, for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater, presented on March 30, 2010, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: MANAGING THE MAGIC: TECHNICAL DIRECTION OF THE SECRET GARDEN MAJOR PROFESSOR: Robert Holcombe This project, Managing the Magic: Technical Direction of The Secret Garden, is a detailed description of the process I used as the technical director to help produce the Department of Theater\u27s production of The Secret Garden at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in April 2009. This work is also a study of the artistic collaboration that took place between the design team and me during the execution of the production. Through this project I was able to polish skills that I had learned through careful goal setting and evaluation. Working on The Secret Garden also gave me the opportunity to broaden my experience and develop my strengths as a technical director
Alfredo Bryce Echenique's word
No full textEn este artículo realizaremos una lectura panorámica del universo narrativo del escritor Alfredo Bryce Echenique. Podría decirse que toda la obra de Bryce se fundamenta en dos grandes ejes temáticos. Por un lado, Bryce es uno de los grandes cronistas de la burguesía peruana en novelas como Un mundo para Julius, No me esperen en abril y El huerto de mi amada. Por otro, una parte importante de su quehacer novelístico desde Tantas veces Pedro (1977) en adelante ha explorado la idiosincrasia de la identidad peruana ubicando a sus personajes en un mundo cultural ajeno al propio y viviendo un singular exilio. Todas las novelas de Bryce examinan la psicología del sujeto desclasado, antiheroico y solitario, que a menudo vive intensas experiencia sentimentales que subrayan su desarraigo en el mundo. La obra de Bryce exhibe siempre una voz propia para narrar, caracterizada por una oralidad siempre expansiva y envolvente y el despliegue de un humor irónico, corrosivo y revelador.Since the publication of his first novel, Un mundo para Julius (1970), Al-fredo Bryce Echenique can be considered an oustanding chronicler of Peru’s ruling class, exposing its many social and moral contradictions. While the author will return to this topic time and again, in other works, such as Tantas veces Pedro (1977) and La vida exagerada de Martín Romaña (1981), Bryce is also a keen explorar of Peruvian identity through the experience of exile. Orality and humor are at the core of his unique style of writing to showcase the trials and tribulations of his many anti-heros
