We study firstand second-order subjective expectations (beliefs) in strategic decisionmaking. We propose a method to elicit probabilistically both firstand second-order beliefs and apply the method to a Hide-and-Seek experiment. We study the relationship between choice and beliefs in terms of whether observed choice coincides with the optimal action given elicited beliefs. We study the relation...

face injury. Considering the onset of corneal infiltration, the cause of corneal infiltrate in this case appears to be delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction. DTH reaction takes 2 to 3 days to develop, and foreign materials act as haptens that conjugate with proteins, the complex of which combines with T lymphocytes, leading to an inflammatory response [1,2]. A previous study showed that ...

CMH serves seriously emotionally disturbed youths, many of whom have been separated from their parents for a prolonged period or have been vulnerable without the consistent presence of their caregive...

We extend a particular access control framework, the Privilege Calculus, with a possibility to override denied access for increased flexibility in hard to define or unanticipated situations. We require the overrides to be audited and approved by appropriate managers. In order to automatically find the authorities who are able to approve an override, we present an algorithm for authority resolut...

Despite spectral and temporal discontinuities in the speech signal, listeners normally report coherent phonetic patterns corresponding to the phonemes of a language that they know. What is the basis for the internal coherence of phonetic segments? According to one account, listeners achieve coherence by extracting and integrating discrete cues; according to another, coherence arises automatical...
