Design Example: Application of Archimedes' Principle

Design Example: Application of Archimedes' Principle

Archimedes' principle is fundamental in analyzing the buoyant force and stability of floating bodies. In this example, a wooden block with a rectangular section floats in seawater. Based on the block's dimensions, its specific gravity and the specific weight of seawater are used to find the volume of water displaced and the center of buoyancy.
The volume of seawater displaced by the block is determined by first calculating the block's weight. This is done by multiplying the...

The Evidence for Evolution

The Evidence for Evolution

Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

The Uncertainty Principle

The Uncertainty Principle

Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how accurately one can measure properties of an electron or other microscopic particles. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how accurately one can measure both a particle’s position and its momentum simultaneously. The more accurate the measurement of the momentum of a particle is known, the less accurate the position at that time is known and vice versa. This is what is now called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. He...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information:

The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule

The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule

To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Human-Computer Interaction
Patient Safety

Background:

Usability flaws in medication alerting systems can negatively impact clinical practice and patient safety.
Evidence-based usability design principles are crucial for preventing flawed alerting system releases.
Current literature lacks a comprehensive, structured list of these principles.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive, structured list of evidence-based usability design principles for medication alerting systems.
To match these principles with identified usability flaws.
To enhance the evidence base for designing safer medication alerting systems.

Main Methods:

Analysis and summarization of nine existing design principle sets for medication alerting systems.
Structuring of summarized principles and matching them with a list of usability flaws.
Determination of the level of underlying evidence for each principle.

Main Results:

Sixty usability design principles were compiled, organized into meta-principles, principles, and sub-principles.
Principles covered signal-to-noise ratio, collaborative work support, workflow fit, data display, system transparency, and actionable alerts.
Most principles were matched with corresponding usability flaws, indicating strong evidential support.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive, evidence-based list of usability design principles for medication alerting systems has been developed.
Each principle is now linked to evidence of its violation, improving upon existing literature.
This knowledge can guide the design of more usable medication alerting systems, reducing adverse events.
