... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Myung, Rohae, Smith, James L. and Leamon, Tom B. (1992): Slip Distance as an Objective Criterion to Determine the Dominant Parameter between Static and Dynamic COFs. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 738-741.

Dynamic friction seems to be more appropriate as a measure of floor slipperiness. However, static friction has been more commonly used and has been a good measure for non-slippery conditions. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to find the dominant COF (static or dynamic) in non-slippery floors and correlating slip distance with each COF. As a result, slip distance was found to be a good measure to represent floor slipperiness because it was exponentially related with static and dynamic COFs. In conclusion, static COF can be a good parameter in non-slippery conditions for prevention of slips and falls.

Tayyari, Fariborz and Smith, James L. (1987): Effect of Music on Performance in Human-Computer Interface. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1321-1325.

The effect of music at two levels (60-65 dB and 80-85 dB), vs. no music (silent), on the performance of 40 subjects engaged in a data processing task was studied. It was found that, while the music did not disturb the overall accuracy of the task output, it increased the subjects' speed in data processing and overall productivity. The subjects showed a favorable attitude toward music being introduced at workstations.
