In the past years, growing attention has been devoted to the masked priming same-different task introduced by Norris and Kinoshita ( 2008 , Journal of Experimental Psychology: General). However, a number of researchers have raised concerns on the nature of the cognitive processes underlying this task-in particular the suspicion that masked priming effects in this task are mostly inhibitory in n...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of emergency conditions is increasing worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, triage and emergency care training has not been prioritized in LMICs. We aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the South African Triage Scale (SATS) when used by providers not specifically trained in SATS, as well as to compare triage capabilit...

Predicting human behaviour from smart-house data is an active and challenging area of research. Applications include improving quality of life and personal healthcare, e.g. smart thermostats and detecting falls. Smart-house technology is becoming increasingly popular and in many cases making a house smarter is as simple as installing off-the-shelf devices. In this paper we focus on predicting t...

Software development in highly variable domains constrained by tight regulations and with many business concepts involved results in hard to deliver and maintain applications, due to the complexity of dealing with the large number of concepts provided by the different parties and system involved in the process. One way to tackle these problems is thru combining software product lines and model-...

The paper presents a general method for estimating a country’s level of fundamental house prices and its interaction with actual house prices. We set up a unified empirical model which can be used to analyze the time-series behavior of the fundamental house price and to test various hypotheses regarding its relation to the actual house price. To illustrate how the method works, we apply it to d...

Construction of the new 350GHz compact range has been completed and it is able to collect fully polarimetric scaled Xband radar data with 6-inch full-scale range resolution. In order to investigate the reproduction of X-band data using scale models, fully polarimetric high-resolution radar signature data has been collected on several targets which include a high-fidelity in-house built 1/16 sca...

Plagues of the house mouse (Mus musculus) occur at irregular intervals throughout the agricultural regions of south-eastern Australia. This paper discusses these phenomena in terms of their impact on agricultural production, previous attempts to reduce damage and levels of infestation, and associated environmental implications. Consideration is also given to the accurate prediction of mouse pla...

In this paper we are concerned with the decisions in IT outsourcing. Lacity and Willcocks provide after extensive empirical work three separate two dimensional decision models involving contributions of the IT activity to the business positioning, to the business operations; in-house scale and management practices; degree of IT integration and technology maturity. We propose a multicriteria mod...
