We describe a family of activity-split and activity-join operations with a notion of validity. The key idea of introducing the set of activity-split and activity-join operations is to allow users to restructure ongoing activities in anticipation of uncertainty so that any signiicant performance loss due to unexpected unavailablity or delay of shared resources can be avoided or reduced through r...

In a probability guessing experiment, subjects try to guess which of two events will occur next. Humans tend to match the frequency of previous occurrences in their guesses. Animals other than humans tend to maximize or always choose the option that has occurred the most frequently in the past. Investigators have argued that frequency matching results from the attempt of humans to find patterns...

Hemisphere differences in word reading were examined using explicit and implicit processing measures. In an inclusion task, which indexes both conscious (explicit) and unconscious (implicit) word reading processes, participants were briefly presented with a word in either the right or the left visual field and were asked to use this word to complete a three-letter word stem. In an exclusion tas...

GLI-Split is a new addressing and routing architecture for the Internet. It splits the functionality of current IP addresses into a global locator, a local locator, and an identifier, and encodes them in IPv6 addresses. It implements the locator/identifier split and makes routing in the core of the Internet more scalable. GLI-Split can be incrementally deployed and it is backward-compatible wit...

This study explores the split effect on arithmetical sequence processing using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). This effect has been reported in arithmetic problem verification tasks and refers to an increase in reaction time when an incorrect solution close to the correct one is presented. The use of different strategies has been suggested to account for this effect: a whole-calculation ...
