TLDR
A system of reinforcing gussets or strips is provided for strengthening a burial vault liner against flexure under the load presented by flowable cementitious vault forming material.Abstract:
First, a new model of searching in online and other information systems, called ‘berrypicking’, is discussed. This model, it is argued, is much closer to the real behavior of information searchers than the traditional model of information retrieval is, and, consequently, will guide our thinking better in the design of effective interfaces. Second, the research literature of manual information seeking behavior is drawn on for suggestions of capabilities that users might like to have in online systems. Third, based on the new model and the research on information seeking, suggestions are made for how new search capabilities could be incorporated into the design of search interfaces. Particular attention is given to the nature and types of browsing that can be facilitated.read more

A behavioral approach to information retrieval system design
TL;DR: A behavioural approach to information retrieval system design is outlined based on the derivation of a behavioural model of the information seeking patterns of academic social scientists, and the extent to which these characteristics are available on existing systems is considered.
