Intrusion detection for IP networks has been a research theme for a number of years already. One of the challenges is to keep up with the ever increasing Internet usage and network link speeds, as more and more data has to be scanned for intrusions. Another challenge is that it is hardly feasible to adapt the scanning configuration to new threats manually in a timely fashion, because of the pos...

Female performance on tests of spatial ability may be hindered by the presence of stereotype threat.

In the spatial condition, the tasks were framed as spatial and participants were reminded of the male advantage on some spatial tasks...

Socially anxious individuals are characterized by an attentional bias for threat-related information. However, this attentional bias to threat may be attenuated [Behav. Res.

We hypothesized that when the ratio of wo...
