Seat Belt Usage and Compensating Behavior

2008-04-11 13:44:59 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...Abstract--This paper investigates the effects of mandatory seat belt laws on driver behavior and traffic fatalities. Using a unique panel data set on seat belt usage in all U.S. jurisdictions, we analyze how such laws, by influencing seat belt use, affect the incidence of traffic fatalities. Allowing for the endogeneity of seat belt usage, we...

Risk Preferences in Chimpanzees and Bonobos

2008-04-17 06:20:51 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...Abstract Human and non-human animals tend to avoid risky prospects. If such patterns of economic choice are adaptive, risk preferences should reflect the typical decision-making environments faced by organisms. However, this approach has not been widely used to examine the risk sensitivity in closely related species with different ecologies....

Spying on Computer Monitors Off Reflective Objects

2008-05-20 10:44:31 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...Abstract We present a novel eavesdropping technique for spying at a distance on data that is displayed on an arbitrary computer screen, including the currently prevalent LCD monitors. Our technique exploits reflections of the screens optical emanations in various objects that one commonly finds in close proximity to the screen and uses those...

More on CEP: Process, Service or Reference Architecture?

2008-06-02 08:43:56 by Tim Bass in The Complex Event Processing Blog
 
...abstract permits CEP to have meaning in a broad context of event processing applications Naturally, a functional reference architecture can be viewed as a service if all the components in the architecture cooperate to solve a problem and are encapsulated as a service. In addition, a functional reference architecture can be viewed as a process...
