Author(s)
Rachel O'Brien, Cate Shirilla, Amy Hrdina, Emily Legaard, Kathryn Mayer, Marina Vance, Dustin Poppendieck, Delphine Farmer
Indoor surfaces and the films on them play important roles in indoor air quality due to the high surface area to volume ratios in our homes. The chemical complexity of these films can be large, and this can increase after film formation as the chemicals in

How Voters Review and Verify Ballots

July 8, 2024
Author(s)
Suzanne Chapman, Lynn Baumeister, Whitney Quesenbery, Shanee Dawkins
Qualitative research to gain deeper insights about how voters mark, review, verify, and cast their ballots. Conducted as part of the work to update the human factors—accessibility, privacy, and usability—requirements in federal voting system standards and

Impacts of Aging and Relative Humidity on Biomass Burning Smoke in an Indoor Environment

July 8, 2024
