Residual switch costs are deficits in task-switching performance that occur despite considerable time to prepare for a task switch. In the present study, the author investigated whether increased phasic alertness modulates residual switch costs. In 2 experiments involving the task-cuing procedure, subjects performed numerical categorization tasks on target digits, with and without an alerting s...

TRINETR: An Intrusion Detection Alert Management and Analysis System by Jinqiao Yu Intrusion detection system (IDS) is a software system or hardware device deployed to monitor network and host activities including data flows and information accesses etc. to capture suspicious activities. In recent years, IDS has began to gain wide acceptance as a necessary and worthwhile investment on security....

Alerting the population during crisis using available communication systems can significantly reduce the impact of emergency situations. However, the understanding of the alert and trust by recipients is influenced by the alert message content and style. It is therefore desirable that alert messages are formulated with sufficient information and in a style that eases understanding of the messag...

BACKGROUND Many patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) do not receive oral anticoagulants (OAC) for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism. We aimed to improve the prescription of (OAC) among hospitalized patients with AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We developed a computer-based electronic alert system for identifying hospitalized OAC-naïve patients with AF. The alert system contained a CHA2...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of capacity alert calls in reducing acute hospital overcrowding through addressing rising occupancy, high patient throughput and increased access block. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 24 months of in-patient, emergency department, and capacity alert call log data from a large metropolitan public hospital in Australia. The analysis explored statistical ...

As for network security, post-IDS alert analysis has become a fashion in view of collaboration and correlation, and context-aware alert verification is one of the main solutions. In order to guarantee a unified representation of related information and knowledge, this paper tries to introduce basic-elements and the extension method into the study on context-aware alert verification. This paper ...

BACKGROUND Most evaluations of epidemic thresholds for influenza have been limited to internal criteria of the indicator variable. We aimed to initiate discussion on appropriate methods for evaluation and the value of cross-validation in assessing the performance of a candidate indicator for influenza activity. METHODS Hospital records of in-patients with a diagnosis of confirmed influenza we...
