Batra, Sanjay, Bishu, Ram R. and Donohue, Brian J. (1995): The Potential of Computerized Interactive Training in Manufacturing. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1294-1298.

Advances in manufacturing technology has fundamentally changed the skill and knowledge requirements of machine operators. Our paper explores the potential training applications of computer-based multimedia or hypermedia environments in advanced manufacturing. We developed a prototype interactive training program for electrodischarge machining (EDM). The EDM Trainer relies heavily on graphic imagery and is based on a graphical direct manipulation design model. Ten highly skilled machinists/tool makers were recruited to evaluate the program. Participants received conceptual questions before and after training. We tracked user interactions with the program and finally, we had them answer a questionnaire. The results indicated that the trainer was effective in helping operators gain explicit conceptual knowledge. Operators were able to use the trainer right away and they took advantage of a variety of navigation links to freely explore the program.

Batra, Sanjay, Bishu, R. R. and Donohue, Brian (1993): Effects of Hypertext Topology on Navigation Performance. In: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1993. pp. 175-180.

This is an empirical investigation of the effects of two hypertext topologies, a hierarchy and a hypertorus structure, on navigation performance under two different network entry conditions, enter at the top of the network and enter randomly at any node. It was hypothesized that hierarchy topology is better only if a user enters the network from the top and the hypertorus topology is better for random entry situations. Thirty two subjects were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions (hierarchy structure with top entry, hierarchy structure with random entry, hypertorus structure with top entry, or hypertorus structure with random entry). The subjects' task is to browse a hypertext network and retrieve facts about ten 1991 automobiles. Performance was determined by elapsed time, number of screens examined, and accuracy. Results showed a strong learning effect over the first ten trials but equivalent performance once subjects on either of the structures for all navigational performance measures except accuracy. The hypertorus topology fosters browsing more than the hierarchy topology. However, the more constrained hierarchy topology fosters more efficient navigation behavior.

Bishu, Ram R., Batra, Sanjay, Cochran, David J. and Riley, Michael W. (1987): Glove Effect on Strength: An Investigation of Glove Attributes. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 901-905.

A number of human performance capabilities are compromised with gloves. Explanations for the strength decrements with gloves have ranged from lack of tactile feedback when wearing gloves, to improper fit, to individual and task differences. An attempt has been made in this investigation to develop a predictive relationship between strength decrements and glove characteristics. Fifteen subjects participated in an experiment involving a grip and a grasp task with three gloves and a bare handed condition. Tenacity, snugness, suppleness and the material thickness were objectively measured as glove attributes. Significant Task and Glove effects were found. Results suggest that the glove size may not matter much in performance whereas resistance to sliding is an important performance determinant when using gloves. The results suggest that the strength decrements are complex functions of a number of glove attributes.
