Performance degradation due to interruptions is a critical issue, particularly when people are supervising highly autonomous systems in time and safety critical environments. Previous research in the development of automated support to help supervisory control operators resume task activities after an interruption has had limited success. This paper describes two new interruption recovery appro...

We study a special form of securities market circuit breaker, i.e., European volatility interruptions. Instead of halt trading like traditional circuit breaker, these short-living call auctions allow for continual price discovery after price limit hits. Based upon approximately 1,800 Xetra volatility interruption events from 01/2009 to 01/2012, we empirically assess whether such auctions contri...

Interruption interference is a significant decrease in performance that follows task interruption. This interference is often studied using a primary and interrupting task pair. Evidence suggests that interruption interference can be reduced through practice by exposing individuals to many interruptions. However, the evidence that this skill transfers beyond the tasks being trained is less clea...

INTRODUCTION The disruption of routine treatment, including the interruption of medication, exacerbates chronic conditions during disasters. However, the health consequences of the interruption of medication have not been fully examined. On 22 July 2006, a flash flood affected more than 3,000 households in five cities and four towns in the northern part of Kagoshima Prefecture in southwest Japa...

CONTEXT Protocolized sedation and daily sedation interruption are 2 strategies to minimize sedation and reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. We hypothesized that combining these strategies would augment the benefits. OBJECTIVE To compare protocolized sedation with protocolized sedation plus daily sedation interruption in critically ill patients. ...

The goal of this study was to examine how different light combinations and timing of supplemental lighting affect the vegetative and reproductive responses of pansy (Viola × wittrockiana Rose). The present study was designed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized block design with three replications and two factors of timing of supplemental lighting (night-interrupt...

The goal of our project is to design and evaluate an awareness system that supports handling interruptions for both interruption actors: interruptees and interruptors.
