In the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm, studying lists of semantic associates results in high rates of false recognition of a nonpresented critical word. The present set of experiments was designed to measure the contribution of additional processing of list items at test to this false memory effect. The participants studied sets of lists and then performed a recognition task for each s...

The downtime of a large industrial operation is often prohibitively expensive and a failure of a mission critical system could have disastrous consequences. Lacking an effective approach to mitigate the risks in system upgrades or to introduce third party supplied open system components, many industrial systems and defense systems are forced to keep outdated computing hardware and software. A p...

Recently, an approach using the discrete event paradigm for the simulation of continuous systems has been developed. This approach is based on the use of piecewise-linear approximations for the representation of continuous, time-varying quantities. The focus of this paper is to show how this new technique can be implemented on a multiprocessor. Our hypothesis is that the Time Warp algorithm is ...

Evolving threat situations in a post 9/11 world demand faster and more reliable decisions to thwart the adversary. One critical path to enhanced threat cognizance is through online knowledge discovery based on dynamic, heterogeneous data available from strategically placed wide-area sensor networks. The knowledge discovery process needs to coordinate adaptive predictive analysis with real-time ...

Safety-critical applications have to fulfill stringent requirements, both functional and nonfunctional. These requirements have to be coherent with each other and must be preserved throughout the software development process. In this context, a design-driven development approach can play a critical role. However existing design-driven development approaches are often general purpose, providing ...

The need for a reconsideration of human-nature relationships has been widely recognized in the Anthropocene. It is difficult to rethink, however, because there crisis imagination that deeply entrenched within fundamental premises modernity. This article explores how ‘critical animism’ developed by Miyazaki Hayao Studio Ghibli can address this paucity providing alternative ways knowing and being...
