In order to exploit this powerful concept our approach is based on empathy and "mimesis". This work explores issues of audio-guide adaptivity based on physical navigation and information browsing. The goal is to design an augmented reality system that is able to transform the museum into an intelligent environment, which can integrate individual needs and collective behaviors. Physical movements within the museum are used to classify visitors. This dynamic classification utilizes a non-intrusive user modeling approach, wherein the museum acts as an interface.

The guide is designed to minimise the boundary between the physical space and the related information through a number of situated and contextual-aware interaction mechanisms.

In particular we describe a design approach based on the situated visiting strategies and the contextual space affordances in order to support the user involvement in the

The design process is based on a parallel and iterative process where user observations are concurrently combined with an open concept and content generation and flexible technological implementation. We propose a scenario-based methodology for User Testing of the Pogo Learning

Postischemic digital blood flow, nailfold capillaroscopy, von Willebrand factor (vWf) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) plasma levels were examined in 59 PBC patients. Forty-six subjects (15 with liver diseases other than PBC, 11 hypercholesterolemics, 20 healthy subjects) served as controls. PBC versus healthy controls (209.8 +/- 1.4% and 16.54 +/- 1.44 ng/ml vs. 120.2 +/- 1.4% and 9.91 +/- 1.49 ng/ml; p<0.001) and related to bilirubin (r = 0.38, p<0.02; r = 0.47, p<0.0005, respectively). vWf was also increased in other liver diseases (249.9 +/- 1.7%; p<0.001) and related to bilirubin (r = 0.59, p<0.05). Postischemic finger blood flow negatively correlated with vWf(p<0.05 or less). Our data indicate that PBC patients have microvascular disease. Whether vessels other than those of the fingers were involved remained unclear. vWf and t-PA might reflect a dysfunction of teh hepatic vascular endothelium.

However, it is not clear whether this regimen has advantages over a traditional balanced, calorie-counting diet. We have compared the effect of a LF diet,
