Cover Use and Activity Time Budget of Blue-Winged Teal, Mallard, and Pintail Broods
… by species and brood age-class. Activity time budgets revealed significant (p<.01) age specific differences in total feeding time and visibility among age-classes of all species combined and age-classes of blue-winged teal broods. Feeding modes also varied among age-classes. Daily patterns …

The Impact of Altered Diet Presentation on Time Budget of Research Housed Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
… rack-housed rhesus to increase the effort and time required to obtain the daily ration. The data demonstrated a statistically significant increase in upright posture (p<0.05) and appetitive behaviors (p<0.001) indicating an increase in time and effort to obtain daily ration. However, no …

Time is Money: An Examination of Audit Time Budgets and Profitability
… of this study is to examine the effect of time budgeting accuracy on audit engagement profitability. I use hand-collected, proprietary, and confidential private company audit engagement data from a large regional accounting firm in the United States. I employ regression analysis to provide …

Premature audit sign-offs and the underreporting of chargeable time in public accounting: examination of an ethical decision making model
The underreporting of chargeable time and premature audit sign-offs can adversely affect public accounting firms. While prior studies of these activities have generally lacked a strong theoretical foundation, the decision model used in this study integrates elements of cognitive moral development, …

The Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Auditor Judgment
… the relation between job pressures (i.e., time budget pressure and client incentive pressure) on the auditor’s judgment. Specifically, I investigate the moderating effect of emotional intelligence on auditor judgments when auditors experience both internal and external pressures. The …

Active Perception for Inertial-Aided Systems
… systems in an unknown environment within a given time budget. Finally, we present an active mapping framework that uses point and plane features within a Visual-Inertial Odometry framework. The continuous planner based on GP regression is used to actively choose the most informative path that will …

The behavioural physiology of diving animals, in particular tufted ducks (Aythya fuligula), and the implications for models of optimal diving
… gas exchange could be measured, along with time budget data. These data were combined with power cost estimates of diving to show that the optimal breathing model quantitatively predicted surface duration and the oxygen metabolised during foraging for the mean of all subject ducks but not …

Analyzing risk and catastrophic accidents: using LOPA and human factors to improve safety in generic projects
… is critical to the success of that project from time, budget and cost prespective [sic]. Identifying unacceptable risks and making provisions to mitigate those, can reduce the uncertainty in the project and ensure its smooth completion and closure. Various techniques have been developed over time …

An Analysis of Traffic Behavior at Freeway Diverge Sections using Traffic Microsimulation Software
… such facilities. Due to constraints related to time, budget, and availability of data, these models are typically designed in such a way where the microscopic output is viewed on the macroscopic level. Inherently, this can leave uncertainty to how the model estimates the individual interactions …

The Dynamics of Cavity Excavation and Use by the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides Borealis)
… breeding red-cockaded woodpecker. The long times required for cavity excavation select for competition over breeding vacancies in established territories and against excavation of cavities in unoccupied habitat. Duration of excavation varies between woodpecker populations, but may require …

Cyber-physical systems of microgrids and control strategies for enhancing electrical grid resilience
… states will be reachable within the required time budget. If unstable states are reachable, the command from COM600 will be sent and the suspicious distributed energy resource (DER) will be cut off. The appropriate tie line between two microgrids is closed to continuously supply power to the …

Auditor Stress: Antecedents and Relationships to Audit Quality
… focused on the direct effect of stressors (e.g., time budget pressure, leadership styles, individual personality etc.) on RAQP; there is no single investigation that has simultaneously examined RAQP from a stress model perspective. In addition, research in RAQP is relatively scarce in emerging and …

Seed dispersal effectiveness of samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi)
… samango monkeys was greater for swallowed seeds. Time budget analysis showed that intergroup variability in feeding behaviour led to differences in the quantity of seeds dispersed by each group Movement behaviour analysis showed that differences in habitat quality influenced the quality of …

Collective efficacy in micro-places: Exploring the perception and enforcement of moral rules in neighbourhood settings
… in Peterborough, UK. An adapted Space-Time Budget methodology was developed and deployed in order to explore whether participants could perceive changes in neighbourhood collective efficacy across settings encountered as part of their routine activity patterns. Exploratory analysis of …

Designing Practical Software Bug Detectors Using Commodity Hardware and Common Programming Patterns
… regarding existing bug detectors: 1) run-time overhead in dynamic bug detectors, 2) space overhead in dynamic bug detectors, and 3) scalability and precision issues in static bug detectors. With those in mind, we propose to: 1) leverage commodity hardware to reduce run-time overhead, 2) …

Essays on Contest Theory Experiments and Revealed Time Preference Models
… empirical method to model perceptual present and time inconsistency (Chapter 4). Chapter 2 examines how the weight and the ordered weights in battles affect the behavior in sequential multi-battle contests with an experiment. We find robustly that the weight of the current battle consistently …
