Many researchers argued that many usability results and recommendations lack empirical and experimental data. In this research, the usability of the web pages is evaluated using several carefully selected statistical models. Universities web pages are chosen as subjects for this work for ease of comparison and ease of collecting data. A series of experiments has been conducted to investigate into the usability and design of the universities web pages. Prototype web pages have been developed according to the structured methodologies of web pages design and usability. Universities web pages were evaluated together with the prototype web pages using a questionnaire which was designed according to the Human Computer Interactions (HCI) heuristics. Nine (users) respondents’ variables and 14 web pages variables (items) were studied. Stringent statistical analysis was adopted to extract the required information to form the data acquired, and augmented interpretation of the statistical results was followed. The results showed that the analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure showed there were significant differences among the universities web pages regarding most of the 23 items studied. Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) showed that the prototype usability performed significantly better regarding most of the items. The correlation analysis showed significant positive and negative correlations between many items. The regression analysis revealed that the most significant factors (items) that contributed to the best model of the universities web pages design and usability were: multimedia in the web pages, the web pages icons (alone) organisation and design, and graphics attractiveness. The results showed some of the limitations of some heuristics used in conventional interface systems design and proposed some additional heuristics in web pages design and usability.展开更多
为了研究污泥在低温低湿条件下的干燥规律,获得表征水分迁移过程的有效水分扩散系数(D_(eff))和活化能(E_a),以脱水污泥为研究对象进行了污泥低温低湿干燥试验,探讨了温度(30℃、35℃、40℃、45℃、50℃)和相对湿度(20%、40%、60%)对污...为了研究污泥在低温低湿条件下的干燥规律,获得表征水分迁移过程的有效水分扩散系数(D_(eff))和活化能(E_a),以脱水污泥为研究对象进行了污泥低温低湿干燥试验,探讨了温度(30℃、35℃、40℃、45℃、50℃)和相对湿度(20%、40%、60%)对污泥水分比(MR)和干燥速率(DR)的影响。结果表明,污泥的低温低湿干燥过程属于内部迁移控制,即水分扩散速率决定干燥速率。根据试验数据建立了污泥水分迁移动力学模型,并与6种常用薄层干燥模型进行拟合,通过对决定系数(R^2)、方差(χ~2)和残差平方和(RSS)的比较,得出污泥低温低湿干燥过程可以用Page模型来描述。结合Fick第二定律,得到不同温度(30~50℃)、湿度(20%~60%)条件下污泥有效水分扩散系数的范围为(0.699~1.991)×10^(-9)m^2/s;对传统的Arrhenius公式进行湿度修正,获得了干燥介质温度和湿度对污泥干燥特性影响的数学模型及活化能E_a=23.83 k J/mol。展开更多
