Web content accessibility guidelines: from 1.0 to 2.0

This poster explains the changes introduced in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 from WCAG 1.0 and proposes a checklist for adapting existing websites. Finally, it describes the most common criticisms of the WCAG and places them in the context of its origin and initial aims.

Developing Hera-FFX for WCAG 2.0

WCAG 2.0 was published in December 2008. It has many differences to WCAG 1.0 as to rationale, structure and content. Two years later there are still few tools supporting WCAG 2.0, and none of them fully mirrors the WCAG 2.0 approach organized around principles, guidelines, success criteria, situations and techniques. This paper describes the on-going development of an update to the Hera-FFX Firefox extension to support WCAG 2.0. The description is focused on the challenges that we have found and our resulting decisions.

5-Methyl-2,4-bis(methylsulfanyl)tricyclo[6.2.1.0(2,7)]undeca-4,9-diene-3,6-dione

The structure analysis of the title compound, C(14)H(16)O(2)S(2), shows the SMe and H atoms of the bond linking the six-membered rings to be syn and also to be syn to the bridgehead -CH(2)- group. Each of the five-membered rings adopts an envelope conformation at the bridgehead -CH(2)- group. The dione-substituted ring adopts a folded conformation about the 1,4-C center dot center dot center dot C vector, with the ketone groups lying to one side. The cyclohexene ring adopts a boat conformation.

Locomotion at-1.0 degrees C: burst swimming performance of five species of Antarctic fish

We investigated the burst swimming performance of five species of Antarctic fish at -1.0degreesC. The species studied belonged to the suborder, Notothenioidei, and from the families, Nototheniidae and Bathydraconidae. Swimming performance of the fish was assessed over the initial 300 ms of a startle response using surgically attached miniature accelerometers. Escape responses in all fish consisted of a C-type fast start; consisting of an initial pronounced bending of the body into a C-shape, followed by one or more complete tail-beats and an un-powered glide. We found significant differences in the swimming performance of the five species of fish examined, with average maximum swimming velocities (U-max) ranging from 0.91 to 1.39 m s(-1) and maximum accelerations (A(max)) ranging from 10.6 to 15.6 m s(-2). The cryopelagic species, Pagothenia borchgrevinki, produced the fastest escape response, reaching a U-max and A(max) of 1.39 m s(-1) and 15.6 m s(-2), respectively. We also compared the body shapes of each fish species with their measures of maximum burst performance. The dragonfish, Gymnodraco acuticeps, from the family Bathdraconidae, did not conform to the pattern observed for the other four fish species belonging to the family Nototheniidae. However, we found a negative relationship between buoyancy of the fish species and burst swimming performance. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Figur@ções maquínicas da escrita 1.0: em torno da palavra digital e da escrita topográfica

É bem conhecido que a invenção da escrita foi um momento capital na história da Comunicação, e que a reflexão filosófica de Platão foi disso uma consequência. Novas mutações surgem hoje com a emergência de novos conceitos de «leitor», «co-autor», «texto», «hipertexto» e «não linearidade». Analisamos essa alteração resultante do surgimento das novas tecnologias digitais, mostrando como estas modificaram a relação entre escrita e leitura. Decorreu daí o surgimento da ideia de uma «comunicação sem livro», que nos coloca na fronteira paradoxal entre a afirmação borgeana de que a «biblioteca é interminável» e a possibilidade de reconstruir em hipertexto a biblioteca virtual. Mostramos as novas possibilidade de interactividade daí resultantes, com a deslocação do paradigma da função autor para a função leitor, sendo que as Ciências da Comunicação não se podem alhear dessa mutação fundamental.
