With increasing speed, virulence, and sophistication, self-propagating worms continue to pose a serious threat to the safety of the Internet. To effectively identify and defend against self-propagating worms, a critical task is to characterize a worm along multiple dimensions. Content-based fingerprinting is a well-established dimension for worm characterization by deriving the most representat...

purpose some major competitions (e.g. london olympics, 2012) are scheduled during the ramadan fasting month. little attention has been given to explore the archers’ performance related subjective experiences with a qualitative method. therefore, this study addressed individual archers’ subjective experiences within the framework of self-regulation during ramadan. methods eleven elite malaysian ...

We combined behavioral and electrophysiological measures to find out whether redundancy gain effects in pop-out visual search are exclusively determined by bottom-up salience or are modulated by top-down task search goals. Search arrays contained feature singletons that could be defined in a single dimension (color or shape) or redundantly in both dimensions. In the baseline condition, both col...

Physical therapy as a profession had evolved from a technical dimension to an evidence-informed paradigm in all aspects of practice, education, research and administration 1 . The orientation in clinical decisionmaking is shifting 'out of the box' towards a behavioral dimension rather than the biological dimension 2 , and it is witnessed by recommendations of practice guidelines towards a multi...

Background: Metabolic syndrome is an asymptomatic disorder and an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modification and self-management of health-promoting behaviors are the most important actions in control of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-management interventions based on cognitive behavioral group Ther...

In visual search, there is a RT cost for targets on a given trial if the previous target was defined in a different (e.g., orientation color), compared to the same (e.g., color color), visual dimension. According to the ‘dimension-weighting’ account (Müller et al., 1995), limited attentional weight needs to be shifted from the old to the new targetdefining dimension, resulting in prolonged beha...

Dimension-based accounts of visual search and selection have significantly contributed to the understanding of the cognitive mechanisms of attention. Extensions of the original approach assuming the existence of dimension-based feature contrast saliency signals that govern the allocation of focal attention have recently been employed to explain the spatial and temporal dynamics of the relative ...
