Odorant receptor (OR) gene choice in mammals is a paradigmatic example of monogenic and monoallelic transcriptional selection, in which each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) chooses to express one OR allele from over 1,000 encoded in the genome [1-3]. This process, critical for generation of the circuit from nose to brain [4-6], is thought to occur in two steps: a slow initial phase that randomly...

1976). Understanding these prototypical patterns for Process tracing methods, particularly those based evaluating information helps identify behavior that on information acquisition, are becoming commoncould constrain or alter decision processes. Second, the place. Because of this, it is important to examine both information acquisition patterns directly influence cogthe reactivity and the vali...

In parallel to the successful application of Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs) in commercial IT-projects there is an ongoing scientific debate about their semantics. It is even controversial, if one should provide EPCs with a local or with a non-local semantics. In this paper, we unify two local EPC semantics, which build on Petri nets. One of them is the free-choice semantics due to the trans...

Web authentication is often treated as a one-size-fits-all problem with ubiquitous use of the password. Indeed, authentication is seldom tailored to the needs of either the site or the target users. This paper does an in-depth analysis of all the vulnerabilities of authentication mechanisms, and proposes a structured and simple process which, if followed, will enable developers to choose a web ...

This work investigates the intuitive and deliberative cognitive processes underlying risky decision-making by manipulating time pressure. A recent fMRI study by De Martino et al. (2006) found greater activation of the amygdala when exhibiting framing effects suggesting that they may be driven by System 1. Because this system is characterized as being fast, we expect more pronounced framing effe...

We introduce a new experimental design to provide insight into strategic choice in one shot games. We incentivize and observe provisional choices in the 2/3 guessing game in the period after the structure of the game has been communicated. We define as naive those who play dominated strategies well after we have communicated the structure of the game. We identify a high proportion of such playe...

The transformation process towards sustainable road transportation implicitly requires that household’s car choice is not only influenced by individual or household specific objectives but also by societal objectives such as mitigating climate change. Hence the car purchase decision is seen as a citizen choice process, also including societal and ecological aspects in the decision function. The...
