Four studies investigated the importance of objective and subjective attributes to mate selection. This research tested whether perceivers' objective physical attractiveness influenced how they evaluated the physical attractiveness of others and, if considered, may provide a parsimonious account for matching in mate selection. Study 1 (N = 102) demonstrated that ratings of targets' attractivene...

Previous studies have proved that partial information transmission can be found between intensity and pitch. In our last study, it was demonstrated that the timbre attribute can be transmitted as partial information between timbre and intensity. We manipulated the two attributes of stimulus, namely, timbre (piano vs. violin) and pitch (high vs. low), to find out whether they also have partial i...

This research-in-progress analyzes the impacts of geospatial website attributes on eImage, or the online image of an organization. Specifically, geospatial attributes on websites of serviceoriented businesses that must convince consumers to visit their physical locations are addressed. Limited existing research regarding geospatial website attributes provided the motivation to conduct this stud...

In many everyday situations, we bias our perception from the top down, based on a task or an agenda. Frequently, this entails shifting attention to a specific attribute of a particular object or scene. To explore the cost of shifting top-down attention to a different stimulus attribute, we adopt the task-set switching paradigm, in which switch trials are contrasted with repeat trials in mixed-t...

BACKGROUND Understanding how environmental attributes can influence particular physical activity behaviors is a public health research priority. Walking is the most common physical activity behavior of adults; environmental innovations may be able to influence rates of participation. METHOD Review of studies on relationships of objectively assessed and perceived environmental attributes with ...

We introduce a method for improving facial attribute predictions using other attributes. In the domain of face recognition and verification, attributes are high-level descriptions of face images. Attributes are very useful for identification as well as image search as they provide easily understandable descriptions of faces, rather than most other image descriptors (i.e. HOG, LBP, and SIFT). A ...

application of automatic systems, including discharge measurement technology is one of the effective methods for improving delivery management, water use efficiency, flexibility, and performance of irrigation networks. several aspects such as hydraulic, technical, physical, environmental, economic, social, and managerial, have significant impact on these systems selection. due to diversity of t...

 Describe the physical database design process, its objectives, and its deliverables.  Choose storage formats for attributes from a logical data model.  Select an appropriate file organization by balancing various important design factors.  Describe three important types of file organization.  Describe the purpose of indexes and the important considerations in selecting attributes to be in...
