The autobiographical Implicit AssociationTest (aIAT) was recently introduced in this journal as a new and promising lie-detection tool. The initial report found 91% accuracy in determining which of two autobiographical events was true. It was suggested that the aIAT, unlike other lie-detection tests, is resistant to faking. We investigated whether participants can strategically alter their perf...

spirit, Fu (p. 119) presented a method of nonmonotonic reasoning in a neural net representation. A theme from the 1987 workshop, control of inference processes, is developed both as a method of limiting combinatorics and as an inherent component of AI systems. D’Ambrosio (p. 64) and Jimison (p. 189) presented methods for modular, interactive system modeling, inference, and control. Utility theo...

Experienced end-users are more likely to leverage the flexibility embedded within an information system. System flexibility influences ease-of-use perceptions, which influence user perceptions of system usefulness. Because men tend to have more experience with information systems and possess less computer anxiety than women, the strength of the relationship between user perceptions of system fl...

The title study has been made by using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, placing primary emphasis on fragmentation reactions and rates. The mass spectrometer was modified so that segmented fields with segments of different magnitudes could be applied in the ion acceleration region and retarding potentials in the region between the flight tube and the ion detector. Methods using these retardin...

Introduction: Wallerian degeneration (WD) of axons proximal to inflammatory lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been proposed as one contributor to quantitative MRI (qMRI) abnormalities detected in normal-appearing gray matter (NAGM) and white matter (NAWM) [1, 2]. The literature on the role of lesions and their impact on qMRI metrics of normal brain tissue is contradictory [4-7]. The availa...

This paper examines the relationship between social propaganda as presented by Jacques Ellul in his book Propaganda: the Formation of Men’s Attitudes and the concept of autopoiesis (or selfgeneration) within posthuman ideology. These two concepts intersect in their connection of the individual to the masses. Both posthuman theory and Ellul’s concept of social interaction are based on the bridgi...

Background: Compensation of brain injury in multiple sclerosis (MS) may in part work through mechanisms involving neuronal plasticity on local and interregional scales. Mechanisms limiting excessive neuronal activity may have special significance for retention and (re-)acquisition of lost motor skills in brain injury. However, previous neurophysiological studies of plasticity in MS have investi...
