Assisted direct manipulation interfaces have been widely studied in computer graphics, dating back to Ivan Sutherland’s Sketch- Pad [Sutherland 1963]. In the context of architectural design, Harada et al. [1995] describe an interface for creating floorplans. Their interface supports local constraints and invokes discrete lo- cal search whenever the user drives the layout into a challeng- ing configuration. Likewise, Michalek and Papalambros [2002] use sequential quadratic programming to optimize an arrangement of rectangles in response to interactive manipulation.

After each daily stage treated subjects received four 5-min bouts of normobaric IHE mean O2 concentration of simulating a mean altitude of 4 000 m interspersed with 5-min bouts of breathing hotel room air normoxia until completing a total IHE of 20-min duration. The primary outcome compared to a control group of similar characteristics not receiving IHE n 5 age 25 1 yr was the increase in erythropoietin Epo from the beginning to the end of the Vuelta. Statistical analysis showed that Epo increase tended to be higher p in the IHE group than in controls vs. respectively . However IHE had no effect on reticulocytes or erythrocyte count p .
