Squeezing the balloon: analyzing the unpredictable effects of cognitive workload
- In Proceedings of the
, 2010
"... Cognitive workload effects behavior like squeezing a balloon. If you squeeze at one place, it pops out at another, and it is hard to predict where it’s going to pop out. Understanding workload requires understanding the control of cognition at the 1/3 to 3s-time span during which cognitive, perceptu ..."

Unpredictable Effects of Chemical Mixtures on Liver in Health and Disease
"... Liver is the primary organ for the detoxification, as well as being the target of many of environmental chemicals. Today, we are all exposed to mixtures of different chemicals at a time because of industrialization and fast life style. Other than environmental chemicals, many people are subject to a ..."

The Unpredictable Effect of Changing Cardiac Output on Hypoxemia after Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism
"... Abstract: Previous studies reported that the degree of hypoxemia following acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE) was highly variable and that its mechanism was mainly due to the creation of many high and low ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) units, as a result of the heterogeneous regional blood fl ow (Q ..."

to increases in Q at the same time. We concluded that the effect of changing cardiac output on gas exchange following APTE was affected by the simultaneous and varying balance between the changing V/Q mismatch and the concomitantly changing PvO2, which might explain the unpredictability of PaO2 in the
ZIGZAG: An efficient peer-to-peer scheme for media streaming
- IN PROC. OF IEEE INFOCOM
, 2003
"... We design a peer-to-peer technique called ZIGZAG for single-source media streaming. ZIGZAG allows the media server to distribute content to many clients by organizing them into an appropriate tree rooted at the server. This applicationlayer multicast tree has a height logarithmic with the number o ..."

protocol between the nodes must be in place to maintain the tree under the effects of network dynamics and unpredictable client behaviors. ZIGZAG handles such situations gracefully requiring a constant amortized control overhead. Especially, failure recovery can be done regionally with little impact
Emotion drives attention: Detecting the snake in the grass
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
, 2001
"... Participants searched for discrepant fear-relevant pictures (snakes or spiders) in grid-pattern arrays of fear-irrelevant pictures belonging to the same category (flowers or mushrooms) and vice versa. Fear-relevant pictures were found more quickly than fear-irrelevant ones. Fear-relevant, but not fe ..."

Market Value and Patent Citations
- RAND Journal of Economics
, 2005
"... We explore the usefulness of patent citations as a measure of the “importance ” of a firm’s patents, as indicated by the stock market valuation of the firm’s intangible stock of knowledge. Using patents and citations for 1963–1995, we estimate Tobin’s q equations on the ratios of R&D to assets s ..."

Multiagent systems
- AI Magazine
, 1998
"... ■ Agent-based systems technology has generated lots of excitement in recent years because of its promise as a new paradigm for conceptualizing, designing, and implementing software systems. This promise is particularly attractive for creating software that operates in environments that are distribu ..."

Central to the design and effective operation of such multiagent systems (MASs) are a core set of issues and research questions that have been studied over the years by the distributed AI community. In this article, I present some of the critical notions in MASs and the research work
On the unpredictability of contact effects
- Estudios de Sociolingüística
, 2000
"... Historical linguists know that any search for deterministic predictions of language change is bound to fail, whether the focus is on internally-motivated change or on contact-induced change. But the urge to explain linguistic change is strong, and many linguists have proposed generalizations that m ..."
