Why Johnny can’t encrypt: A usability evaluation of PGP 5.0
, 1999
"... User errors cause or contribute to most computer security failures, yet user interfaces for security still tend to be clumsy, confusing, or near-nonexistent. Is this simply due to a failure to apply standard user interface design techniques to security? We argue that, on the contrary, effective secu ..."

standards: PGP 5.0. Our case study used a cognitive walkthrough analysis together with a laboratory user test to evaluate whether PGP 5.0 can be successfully used by cryptography novices to achieve effective electronic mail security. The analysis found a number of user interface design flaws that may
Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being
- Psychological Science.
, 1993
"... F or good reasons, economists have had a long-standing preference for studying peoples' revealed preferences; that is, looking at individuals' actual choices and decisions rather than their stated intentions or subjective reports of likes and dislikes. Yet people often make choices that b ..."

momentary utilities over time that Edgeworth had in mind. This is not the case, however. Numerous studies have related individuals' retrospective evaluations of an experience to their record of real-time reports. Although retrospective evaluations are related to the real-time reports
Lectures on special Lagrangian submanifolds
, 1999
"... Abstract. These notes consist of a study of special Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds and their moduli spaces. The particular case of three dimensions, important in string theory, allows us to introduce the notion of gerbes. These offer an appropriate language for describing many signi ..."

Motivation crowding theory
- Journal of Economic Surveys
, 2001
"... Abstract. The Motivation Crowding Effect suggests that external intervention via monetary incentives or punishments may undermine, and under different identifiable conditions strengthen, intrinsic motivation. As of today, the theoretical possibility of motivation crowding has been the main subject o ..."

There exist a large number of studies, offering empirical evidence in support of the existence of crowding-out and crowding-in. The study is based on circumstantial evidence, laboratory studies by both
Modeling context-aware e-learning scenarios’, Paper presented
- in the Proceedings of the Third IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, Kauai Island
, 2005
"... In the last decade, e-learning has been introduced to a variety of blended learning scenarios, such as life-long learning, University lectures, and game-based learning. In all these scenarios the learner’s situation or context is an essential asset in designing the learning process. Recent research ..."

The feasibility and applicability of our approach is demonstrated by a laboratory lecture case study, and respectively by a context-aware learning proto-type that was developed using RFID technology for sens
External validity of ‘‘trivial’’ experiments: The case of laboratory aggression.
- Review of General Psychology,
, 1997
"... The external validity of artificial "trivial" laboratory settings is examined. Past views emphasizing generalizability of relations among conceptual variables are reviewed and affirmed. One major implication of typical challenges to the external validity of laboratory research is tested w ..."

Identification of regulatory regions which confer muscle-specific gene expression
- J. Mol. Biol
, 1998
"... For many newly sequenced genes, sequence analysis of the putative protein yields no clue on function. It would be bene®cial to be able to identify in the genome the regulatory regions that confer temporal and spatial expression patterns for the uncharacterized genes. Additionally, it would be advant ..."

To achieve these goals, the wealth of case studies performed over the past 15 years will have to be collected into predictive models
Should Computer Scientists Experiment More? - 16 Excuses to Avoid Experimentation
- IEEE Computer
, 1997
"... Computer scientists and practitioners defend the lack of experimentation with a wide range of arguments. Some arguments suggest that experimentation may be inappropriate, too difficult, useless, and even harmful. This article discusses several such arguments to illustrate the importance of experimen ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,

Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

Individual neurons can be studied in the reward systems of the brain, including dopamine neurons, orbitofrontal cortex, and striatum. The neural activity can be related to basic theoretical terms of reward and uncertainty, such as contiguity
