Visual search is easier after looking at some distractors in advance because previewed distractors are excluded from the search (preview benefit). A dominant explanation for preview benefit is that it occurs because of the inhibition of old objects (visual marking). However, another view claims that preview benefit simply reflects automatic attentional orienting to new objects (onset capture). ...

Marking and provision of formative feedback on student assessment items are essential but onerous and potentially error prone activities in teaching and learning. Marking and Feedback Support Systems (MFSS) aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of human (not automated) marking and provision of feedback, resulting in reduced marking time, improved accuracy of marks, improved student sa...

Abstract Based on six detailed case studies of languages in which focus is marked morphosyntactically, we propose a novel formal theory marking, can capture these as well the familiar English-type prosodic marking. Special attention paid to patterns syncretism, that is, when different size and/or location are indistinguishably realized by same form. The key ingredients our approach complex cons...

Traffic marking is an essential component in any Differentiated Services (DS) architecture. Traffic marking can be done with respect to a single flow or a flow aggregate. In a DS network, traffic marking is typically performed at aggregate levels, rather than on the level of individual flows. The use of aggregation raises a number of concerns, such as fairness concern. When we deal with aggrega...
