Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

This chapter discusses the usability of a mobile application as one of the main qualitative attributes. The chapter focuses on the users’ expectations about usability and the redundancy of content or appearance of the product.

Moreover, it emphasizes the application's capabilities to recover the required information. It discusses how experienced mobile users can perform common tasks very fast and the possibilities of interacting with other applications. This chapter emphasizes protection against making mistakes and meeting the accessibility standards, which apply to the mobile application.
