Judgmental interference in dual tasks has been demonstrated in conditions where the detection or discrimination of different contrast increments applied to two stimuli presented simultaneously or in sequence. The present work demonstrates such interference for changes along two distinct visual features, namely contrast and orientation, when simultaneously applied to the same or to two distinct ...

Product-line architectures (PLAs) enable the development of a group of software packages that can be retargeted for different requirement sets by leveraging common capabilities, patterns, and architectural styles [1]. The design of a PLA is typically guided by scope, commonality, and variability (SCV) analysis [2]. SCV captures key characteristics of software product-lines, including their (1) ...

This study investigates the impact of choice complexity on consumer utility and choice. The authors find that for choices with up to seven alternatives and seven attributes choice accuracy is affected by three context-based complexity effects but not by task-based complexity. The results suggest that brands that are able to create products that outperform competing products and that do so consi...

Environmental issues such as air and water quality related to livestock production are receiving much attention. Potential methods for environmental improvement range from regulation to market solutions. This study looks at consumer willingness to pay for pork products with embedded environmental attributes. Experimental auctions showed that over one-half of the participants (62%) paid a premiu...

Blockchain is an emerging technology for decentralized and transactional data sharing across a large network of untrusted participants. It enables new forms of distributed software architectures, where components can find agreements on their shared states without trusting a central integration point or any particular participating components. Considering the block- chain as a software connector...
