The NATO RTO Human Factors and Medicine Panel Task Group 017 entitled, “Uninhabited Military Vehicles (UMVs): The Human Factors of Augmenting the Force” involves studying ways to enhance military Forces by leveraging the potential advantages of UMVs to act as force multipliers. This report identifies, prioritizes, and addresses the Human Factors (HF) issues associated with integrating UMVs into...

Abstract Pursuing multiple goals with limited time often leads to goal conflicts that can be resolved by prioritizing some pursuits over others. This research examines proximal outcomes of two approaches prioritization: Goal shelving (temporarily withdrawing from a goal) and disengagement (permanently goal). We conducted an experiment ( N = 214) compare motivational emotional consequences resol...

Requirement prioritization facilitates requirement engineering process. It also helps requirement engineer’s makes crucial decisions about requirements in a software development process. Requirement prioritization process is used to determine which candidate requirement of a software project should be included in a certain release, for this purpose different techniques are used. These technique...

This work examines the problem of case prioritization in digital investigations for better utilization of limited criminal investigation resources. Current methods of case prioritization, as well as observed prioritization methods used in digital forensic investigation laboratories are examined. After, a multi-stakeholder approach to case prioritization is given that may help reduce reputationa...

Background To date, research on priority-setting for new vaccines has not adequately explored the influence of the global, national and sub-national levels of decision-making or contextual issues such as political pressure and stakeholder influence and power. Using Kapiriri and Martin’s conceptual framework, this paper evaluates priority setting for new vaccines in Uganda at national and sub-na...

We summarize evidence that input to the apical tufts of neocortical pyramidal cells modulates their response to basal input. Because this apical amplification and disamplification provide intracortical mechanisms for prioritization, Mather and colleagues' arguments suggest that their effects are enhanced by noradrenergic arousal. Though that is likely, it has not yet been adequately studied. Th...

The authors examined the prioritization of abruptly appearing objects in real-world scenes by measuring the eyes' propensity to be directed to the new object. New objects were fixated more often than chance whether they appeared during fixations (transient onsets) or saccades (nontransient onsets). However, onsets that appeared during fixations were fixated sooner and more often than those coin...
