Recent measurements of network traac 3, 8] have shown that scale-invariant burstiness|self-similarity| is a ubiquitous phenomenon found in both LANs and WANs as well as many types of traac including compressed video. In 5], a generic high-level (application layer) causal mechanism was advanced for inducing self-similar link traac when incorporating the eeects of the transport layer. The perform...

The dual-self model supposes that decision-making involves a conflict between the desire for immediate and safe gratification on the one hand, and riskier long term benefits on the other. This conflict is resolved through a decision criterion that puts weights on both desires. A key element of the model is that this weighting is endogenous, and that changes in constraints that have the same eff...

Temporal contingency between motor commands and corresponding auditory feedback is crucial for perception of self-generated sound as well as external auditory events. The present study examined whether delay detection of self-generated sound was affected by the range of delayed auditory feedback used during the experiment. Participants pressed a button with their right index finger and judged w...

Reducing the time from symptom onset to reperfusion therapy is an important approach to minimizing myocardial damage and to preventing death from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies suggest that certain ethnic or national groups, such as the Japanese, are more likely to delay in accessing care than other groups. The aims of this paper were the following; (1) to examine whether c...
