Interactive behavior emerges from the interaction of embodied cognition with task and the artifacts designed to accomplish the task. The current study focuses on how subtle changes in interface design lead to changes in the cognition, perception, and action operations that compose interactive behavior. The Argus Prime task is explained and the nature of the modeling effort is discussed. Insight...

Abstract Purpose: Assessment of emotional functioning is essential in sports-related concussion (SRC) management. This study investigated the prediction mental health outcomes from SCAT-3 Symptom Scale. Methods: Canadian university athletes who compete contact sports participated a large-scale (Active Rehabilitation). A total 235 participants (males = 67%) completed Brief Inventory (BSI), Quali...

We present ARGUS, a coordination system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed to support situational awareness for disaster management settings. ARGUS is based on the max-sum algorithm, a well known decentralised coordination algorithm for multi-agent systems. In this demonstration, we present an interactive simulation environment, where a user acting as a first responder submits imagery...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) collects and publishes surveillance data and statistics for select diseases, but traditional methods of gathering such data are time and labor intensive. Event-based biosurveillance, which utilizes a variety of Internet sources, complements traditional surveillance. In this study we assess the reliability of Internet biosurveillance a...

We describe and evaluate WatchTower, a system that simplifies the collection of Windows performance counter data, and Argus, a statistical methodology for evaluating this data and reducing the sheer volume of it. This is especially important when monitoring the performance of clusters for high performance computing. WatchTower’s overheads are comparable to those of Microsoft’s perfmon tool, whi...

Biological invasions with known histories are rare, especially in the sea, and empirical studies of the genetic consequences are even rarer. Fifty-five years ago, the state of Hawai'i began a remarkable, if unintentional, 'experiment' with the introduction of three reef fishes, Lutjanus fulvus, Cephalopholis argus and Lutjanus kasmira. All have since expanded from the initial introduction of 22...

The Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus is a valuable fishing resource and the trade in frozen lobster tails is an important industry. However, the presence of the pathogenic virus Panulirus argus Virus 1 (PaV1), which causes systemic infection in P. argus and is particularly lethal to juvenile individuals, has not been previously examined in imported/exported lobster products. We used PCR ...

Accurate age estimates for Panulirus argus, the commercially important Caribbean spiny lobster, would greatly enhance life history and population analyses. Most age approximations of P. argus are based on size and growth data, but size is generally considered a poor proxy for age of crustaceans in the field because of numerous environmental, density-dependent, and fishery-related factors. An es...
