S. Tipper, B. Weaver, and F. Watson (1996) suggest that J. Pratt and R.A. Abrams's (1995) failure to find inhibition of return for more than the most recently cued location was because their 2-target display did not adequately capture some of the complexity of real-world visual environments. However, Tipper et al. tested a special case because they always cued 3 out of 4 potential targets (allo...

Triple arrays are considered in which 10 symbols each appear 3 times in a 5 × 6 arrangement of symbols. These triple arrays fall into seven isomorphism classes. The orders of the automorphism groups of the arrays in these classes are 60, 12, 12, 6, 4, 3 and 3, respectively. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This research paper describes key information technology (IT) project management activities in terms of project scope, time, and cost management, namely the triple constraint. The authors contend that the ability to properly manage and execute these activities are the quintessential components that oftentimes drives whether projects succeed or fail. The literature shows that IT projects have a ...

Click fraud is a critical problem in pay-per-click advertising. While both service providers (SPs) and advertisers employ technologies to identify fraudulent clicks, prior work shows that they cannot be induced to make further improvements to their respective technologies. We consider the use of third-party investigation to address this problem and examine whether the responsibility of investig...

We describe a new type of threat to the Internet infrastructure, in the shape of a highly efficient but very well camouflaged click-fraud attack on the advertising infrastructure. The attack, which we refer to as a “badvertisement”, is described and experimentally verified on several prominent advertisement schemes. This stealthy attack can be thought of as a threatening mutation of spam and ph...

Does visual attention spread from the cued end of an occluded object to locations occupied by inferred portions of that object? We investigated this question by using a probe detection paradigm with two-dimensional (2-D) displays of occluded objects. Probes could appear in occluded or nonoccluded locations on either a cued or noncued object. Participants responded faster to probes appearing wit...
