Preventing lunchtime attacks: fighting insider threats with eye movement biometrics by Eberz, S, Rasmussen, K, Lenders, V, Martinovic, I

“…We leverage this distinguishing power along with the ability to gauge the users’ task familiarity, i.e., level of knowledge, to address insider threats. In a controlled experiment we test how both time and task familiarity influence eye movements and feature stability, and how different subsets of features affect the classifier performance. …”

Instantaneous exhaust temperature measurements using thermocouple compensation techniques by Kar, K, Roberts, S, Stone, R, Oldfield, M, French, B

“…This method has been commissioned in a simulation study and a controlled experiment with a reference temperature. The studies have shown that the signal bandwidth has to be restricted, since noise will be amplified in the temperature reconstruction. …”

Review of Pulsed-Eddy-Current Signal Feature-Extraction Methods for Conductive Ferromagnetic Material-Thickness Quantification by Nalika Ulapane, Linh Nguyen

“…This paper examines the relevant feature-extraction methods through a controlled experiment in which the methods are applied to a single set of experimentally captured PEC signals, and provides a review by discussing the quality of the extractable features, and their functional behaviours for thickness quantification, along with computational time taken for feature extraction. …”

Economic growth in China and India: The potential role of population by James A. Yunker

“…The fact that China and India are similar in many important respects (ancient cultures, large populations, etc.), but implemented substantially different population control policies during the 1980–2020 interval, suggests an equivalence to a quasi-controlled experiment, of the sort that very rarely occurs in the real world. …”

Trophic Transfer without Biomagnification of Cadmium in a Soybean-Dodder Parasitic System by Bin J. W. Chen, Jing Xu, Xinyu Wang

“…To investigate the pattern of Cd transfer during the infection of parasitic plants on Cd-contaminated hosts, we conducted a controlled experiment that grew soybeans parasitized by Chinese dodders (<i>Cuscuta chinensis</i>) in soil with different levels of Cd treatment, and examined the concentration, accumulation, allocation and transfer coefficients of Cd within this parasitic system. …”

Biofluorescent response in lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus to a therapeutic stressor as assessed by hyperspectral imaging by Thomas Juhasz-Dora, Stein-Kato Lindberg, Amanda Karlsen, Samuel Ortega

“…Here we show that lumpfish fluorescence responds to a therapeutic stressor within a controlled experiment. Lumpfish (n = 60) underwent a 3-h freshwater bath therapeutant to evaluate whether fluorescence spectra produced by the species respond to external stimuli. …”

How to Influence the Results of MCDM?—Evidence of the Impact of Cognitive Biases by Gerda Ana Melnik-Leroy, Gintautas Dzemyda

“…We test whether these cognitive biases can influence in a predictable way both the criteria weights elicited using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the final ranking of alternatives obtained with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). In a controlled experiment we presented two groups of participants with a multi-criteria problem and found that people make different decisions when presented with different but objectively equivalent descriptions (i.e., frames) of the same criteria. …”

Providing curb availability information to delivery drivers reduces cruising for parking by Giacomo Dalla Chiara, Klaas Fiete Krutein, Andisheh Ranjbari, Anne Goodchild

“…A curb parking information system deployed in a study area in Seattle, Wash., displayed real-time curb availabilities on a mobile app called OpenPark. A controlled experiment assigned drivers’ deliveries in the study area with and without access to OpenPark. …”

A Strategy Based on Genetic Algorithms for Forming Optimal Collaborative Learning Groups: An Empirical Study by Oscar Revelo Sánchez, César A. Collazos, Miguel A. Redondo

“…Considering that group formation is key when developing activities in collaborative learning scenarios, this paper aims to propose a strategy based on a genetic algorithm approach for achieving optimal collaborative learning groups, considering the students’ personality traits as grouping criteria. A controlled experiment was designed with 238 students, quantifying their personality traits through the “big five inventory” (BFI), forming working groups and developing a collaborative activity in programming and related courses. …”
