A Network Surveillance Mechanism to Support Partitioned Operation in Distributed Database Systems
… data may become doubtful unless the transaction processing mechanism puts appropriate limits on its operation.

Intermediate Level Mechanisms Supporting Face Perception
<p>I propose that the intermediate neural mechanisms involved in face processing may be better understood by studying concentric form-from-structure integration. This dissertation involves behavioral adaptation and masking experiments that provide evidence regarding whether face perception and …

A secure architecture for electronic check processing
… and Palacios [15] have defined a web-based check processing mechanism; this paper extends the framework they have developed and defines a cryptographic protocol for the transmission of digital checks using cryptographic building blocks like public key encryption and digital signatures.

The effects of simplification, linguistic item, and language experience on second language learners' attention to form contained in the input
… adult second language (L2) learners' information processing mechanism are largely responsible for what is attended to in the input. Recently, some psycholinguistic studies have begun to investigate the domain of input processing in an effort to understand what L2 learners attend to in the input …

Factors for speech intelligibility in the symmetric and anti-symmetric speech-masker conditions
… intensity-jitters at the inputs of the binaural processing mechanism (analogous to changes in interaural sensitivity) and second, the temporal window in the binaural processing mechanism (affecting benefit from short-time binaural advantages). EC-window length was most important for predicting …

An All-in-One Debugging Approach: Java Debugging, Execution Visualization and Verification
… A distinct efficient record-and-playback mechanism is designed to record all the internal states of execution including intermediate results by injecting our own bytecode, which does not affect the source code, and, through a two-step data processing mechanism, these data will be …

Processing of English relative clauses by adult L2 learners
… of the characteristics of the L2 sentence processing mechanism deployed by adult L2 learners would provide valuable insights into this important human ability. The present dissertation is an attempt to draw a detailed picture of the L2 sentence processing mechanism by comparing L1 speakers …

Characteristics of syntactic processing : an examination utilizing behavioral and fMRI techniques
… constrain the syntactic parser of the sentence processing mechanism, syntactic storage costs and plausibility information. It uses behavioral methods to explore the characteristics of the two factors and neuroimaging to explore the underlying neurological substrates associated with these aspects …

Prosody and syntactic processing
… and pitch accents, are used in syntactic processing. Traditionally, it has been argued that while intonational phrase boundaries interact with syntactic structure, pitch accents do not. One apparent exception to this view is work by Schafer, Carter, Clifton, and Frazier (1996) that …

Mind over Matter: Exploring the Power of a Positive Body Image
… those comments through body appreciation as the processing mechanism. In study 2, women were interviewed about their body image experiences with appearance-related commentary at differing weight trajectories. Women described how their body image was influential in filtering appearance-related …

Investigations into controllers for adaptive autonomous agents based on artificial neural networks.
… foundational question of whether the choice of processing mechanism is critical if the simulation of adaptive behaviour is to progress much beyond the reactive stage in more than a trivial sense. It proceeded by way of a critique of the standard behaviourbased approach to make a positive …

The relationship between hand-nearness, emotional arousal, and visual processing
… her hands near an object: hand-nearness), visual processing of that object differs in several ways from visual processing of an object far from the hands. Interestingly, the changes that visual processing undergoes during hand-nearness are the same as those that occur when an observer is …

Information processing, intelligence and social learning in autism spectrum disorder
… potential in ASD, using a simple measure of processing efficiency. The thesis reports studies testing the notion that learning and acquisition of skills is hampered by poor social insight in ASD, which curtails ordinary social learning mechanisms. This general framework further predicts that …

The role of the magnocellular system in implicit cognition
… to be involved in rapid but coarse information processing which is a basis for certain kinds of automaticity in information processing, such as reading or visual object recognition. The question this research addressed concerns visual perceptual processes which are not easily controllable and …

Post-processing in Differential Privacy
… its pivotal properties allows for arbitrary post-processing of data without compromising privacy, contributing to its great versatility and widespread adoption. Despite the extensive use of post-processing by researchers and practitioners, its impacts on outputs still remain poorly understood. …

The influence of individual differences on reading in readers of consistent compared to inconsistent orthographies
… indicating that nonword decoding indexes a vital processing mechanism for skilled readers of different languages. As no significant interactions were found involving language or language and IDs for this group, strong decoders seemed to be most similar in their naming across the two languages. …

Further evidence and understanding for the contrast signal theory of parallel processing in visual search
… affects and depends on early, parallel visual processing. However, understanding of the cognitive mechanism and temporal dynamics of parallel vision has been lacking. Specifically, in the visual search literature, major models of the search process have established a convention that parallel …

A typology of consumer preference parabolas
… is a proposed typology consisting of a two (mechanism: attribute tradeoff or target-attribute matching) by two (attributes: single or multiple) classification scheme. Two empirical essays test the conceptual model in a single attribute context (Chapter Two) and a multi-attribute context …

Analysis and implementation of time-delay systems and networked control systems
… network-induced delay. By designing a data pre processing mechanism, the network-induced delay can be assigned. Such delay assignment is applied to networked predictive control schemes, which alleviates system stability limits on the network-induced delay. Two stability criteria are given for …

Structural Studies of Two Enzymes of Pantothenate Biosynthesis in Escherichia Coli
