Understanding which characteristics of dynamic stimuli affect visual attention is crucial to usability research. We explored how object location and object luminosity differentially affect visual attention. Thirty-seven American participants viewed 34 Australian commercials, which were broken down by scene (N = 606) to identify all pertinent Areas of Interest (NAOIs = 2,695). Each AOI was subse...

When a worker suffers a temporary loss of wages because of a work-connected illness or injury, his wage loss will usually be compensated under the wo&men?s compensation law of his State. If the loss of income results from an illness or injury incurred off the job, which is far m,ore common, the possibilities of wage replacement vary, depending usually on the loca,tion of his work or the protect...

Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) is one of the engineered safety features installed in BWR and ABWR plants to limit the discharge of radioactivity into the environment during the reactor accident. Kl3 impregnated charcoal (iodized charcoal) filter is used for removing of radioactive iodine species such as molecular iodine and methyl iodide. It is well known that the removal capability of imp...

Although previous studies have shown that the time required to process visual stimuli,in' ".".r"r fo"r presentations away from the fovea, the evidence concerning the exact nature of this increase is inconclusive. Three experiments were conducted using both reaction time and tachis' toscopic masking tasks to gene"ale timeaccuracy functions for stimuli at different retinal loca' tions.-eU resulti...

During loss-of-coolant (LOCA) accidents the primary reactor coolant system shall be maintained in a safe state so that the coolability of fuel rods was maintained and the emergency core cooling criteria must be met. These criteria were accepted originally for Western design reactors and the same criteria were applied in Hungary to the Paks NPP as well. However the WER type reactor has different...

The paper presents a framework for evaluating the comparative use of system resources in message communication, building on the framework of Loca-tive Temporal Logic 12] by adding \costs" either to the underlying graph representing the communications network of the system in question, or to the mes-sages/actions of the system. This is intended to aid the speciication of distributed systems whic...
