This paper explores the effectiveness of usage control deterrents. Usage control enables finer-grained control over the usage of objects than do traditional access control models. Deterrent controls are intended to discourage individuals from intentionally violating information security policies or procedures. In this context, an adaptation of usage control is assessed as a proactive means of d...

Studies on the feeding deterrent activity of some natural, cyclic terpenes (myrcene, (+)-3-carene, (+)-limonene, (±)-camphene), synthetic alkenes (2-methyl-1-pentene, 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene, 1-methylcyclohexene, 1-tetradecene) and their derivatives α-methylenelactones in choice and no-choice tests against Colorado potato beetle with potato, Solanum tuberosum L. leaf discs as consuming food w...

Using bioactivity-guided isolation of bioactive compounds; deacetylviguiestenin, 4-O-caffeoyl-2-methyloxirane-2-carboxylic acid and sandaracopimaradiene-1α,9α-diol were obtained from Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray leaves identified using spectroscopic methods. Their feeding deterrence activity against Sitophilus zeamais (Motsch.) including those methanol crude extract, fractions, the es...

The theory of emotional intensity (Brehm, 1999) suggests that the intensity of affective states depends on the magnitude of their current deterrents. Our study investigated the role that fluency--the subjective experience of ease of information processing--plays in the emotional intensity modulations as reactions to deterrents. Following an induction phase of good mood, we manipulated both the ...

AIM This study critically explores the experience of one clinician who developed the practitioner-researcher role in a remote hospital. PARTICIPANT One occupational therapist working in rehabilitation who had never previously done or been trained for research but who completed and published a randomized controlled trial. SETTING Government hospital rehabilitation ward in remote northern Aus...

Abstract Background Most plant viruses rely on vectors for their transmission and spread. One of the outstanding biological questions concerning vector-pathogen-symbiont multi-trophic interactions is potential involvement vector symbionts in virus process. Here, we used a multi-factorial system containing non-persistent virus, cucumber mosaic (CMV), its primary vector, green peach aphid, Myzus ...
