Alcohol Expectancy Words Recalled at a Higher Rate by Heavy Drinkers

Benjamin Mahoney,Deborah Graham,David Cottrell 순천향대학교 2009 순천향 인문과학논총 Vol.24 No.-

It is believed that an individual`s alcohol expectancies, the anticipated effects of alcohol retained in memory, will differ in accordance with drinking experience. The focus of recent alcohol expectancy research has been on activation of alcohol expectancy memory networks for heavy drinkers, demonstrated through changes in behaviour following the presentation of implicit alcohol cues. Recent alcohol expectancy research has suggested that priming a memory test word list with an alcohol beverage word (Beer) acts as an environmental cue for heavy drinkers, resulting in greater recall of embedded alcohol expectancy words. Using a memory test designed to further explore the effectiveness of alcohol word cues, the current research tested 247 American exchange students recall of embedded word themes. The results suggest that the sequential presentation of alcohol expectancy words in itself, regardless of the first word (prime) of the tests, provides an adequate implicit cue initiating an expectancy word recall bias for heavy drinkers.

IDEA: A New Intrusion Detection Data Source

William Mahoney,William Sousan 보안공학연구지원센터 2008 International Journal of Security and Its Applicat Vol.2 No.3

In the context of computer systems, an intrusion is generally considered to be a harmful endeavor to prevent others from legitimate use of that system, to obtain data which is not normally available to the intruder, or to plant data or disrupt data already existent on the machines. Traditionally intrusion detection has relied on two data sources: various log files which record user’s activity, and network traffic which contains potential threats. This research presents a system which we call IDEA; the Intrusion DEtection Automata system. We utilize a third source of data for intrusion detection in the form of an instrumented process. Open source software is recompiled using a modified compiler we have created, and the resulting executable program generates the data as it runs. An external monitoring facility then checks the behavior of the program against known good execution paths. These paths are specified either using a domain specific language and hand-written rules, or by running the software in a learning mode and capturing the normal behavior for later comparison.

An application of the exploratory structural equation modeling framework to the study of personality faking

Lee, P.,Mahoney, K.T.,Lee, S. Pergamon 2017 Personality and individual differences Vol. No.

This study compared the suitability of the restrictive framework of independent cluster model (ICM) and a more flexible framework of exploratory structural equation model (ESEM) to a personality instrument in a faking study. We proposed and answered five research questions using the model-testing procedures described by Morin, Arens, and Marsh (2016). More specifically, we compared the fit of ICM-CFA and ESEM, and ESEM and bi-factor ESEM, and we investigated the patterns of factor correlations and the presence of cross-loadings in these models. In our faking condition, we found the ESEM applications provided the better representation of the data, and the adverse effects of the strict assumptions of ICM-based models to be most apparent. Limitations and practical implications were discussed.

Synthesis of mixed phase anatase-TiO₂(B) by a simple wet chemical method

Parayil, S.K.,Kibombo, H.S.,Mahoney, L.,Wu, C.M.,Yoon, M.,Koodali, R.T. North-Holland 2013 Materials letters Vol.95 No.-

A photoactive mixed phase, anatase-TiO<SUB>2</SUB>(B) was synthesized from a mixture of trititanate nanotube and urea at relatively mild conditions. This material exhibited enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation under simulated solar irradiation. The enhancement was credited to the presence of mixed phases of anatase and TiO<SUB>2</SUB>(B) that minimized charge-carrier recombination. The results validate the superior performance of anatase-TiO<SUB>2</SUB>(B) compared to anatase or TiO<SUB>2</SUB>(B) alone. Such mixed phase materials may also be applicable for solar assisted degradation of persistent organic pollutants and solar energy conversion devices.

When you are running out of imagination: Vicarious learning as a mechanism to revitalize your unutilized knowledge

류세라,최승호,Wen Zhen,Joseph T. Mahoney 한국경영학회 2021 한국경영학회 통합학술발표논문집 Vol.2021 No.8

This study investigates conditions under which the knowledge-originating firm is more likely to learn from other firms’ experience to revitalize its unutilized knowledge. In doing so, we examine 1,757 U.S. pharmaceutical firms from 1979 to 2017 concerning how their propensity to explore or exploit influences the subsequent use of their own unutilized or utilized knowledge. We find that engaging in exploration search promotes spill-ins of their unutilized knowledge to reinvent themselves in a new technological trajectory. In contrast, the exploitation search of firms enables spill-ins of utilized knowledge to extend and refine their existing knowledge. Further, the knowledge distance between the knowledge-originating firm and the recipient firm positively moderates these relationships.

Iron - solubilizing Isolate of Meat : Physiological, Compositional and Physicochemical Characteristics

Yunji Kim,Charles E. Carpenter,Arthur W. Mahoney 한국식품영양과학회 1998 Preventive Nutrition and Food Science Vol.3 No.1

Studies were performed to 1) investigate if ferric iron bound in complex with iron-solubilizing meat components is absorbable, 2) compare the relative iron-solubilizing capacity of meats, and 3) investigate the physicochemical and compositional characteristics if meat has iron-solubilizing components. Iron-solubilizing components of beef were isolated from pH 2 HCI homogenates into dialysis bags(MWCO of 6~8K). Radiolabelled iron complexes were then generated using ferric iron and the isolated low-molecular-weight components(ILC) from undigested beef or ascorbate. The bioavailabilities of radioiron in these complexes or as ferric iron were measured as radioiron absorption into the blood one hour after injection into ligated duodenal loops of rats. Iron absorptions were ferrous-ascorbate complexes(18.8±2.2%)>ferric-ILC complexes(4.9±0.6%)>ferric iron (2.2±0.3%)(p<0.05). ILC from O.lg of beef, pork, chicken, fish, or egg white were added to 400㎍ ferric iron in pH 2 HCl, the pH raised to 7.2, and soluble iron determined in the supernatant after centrifugation at 2,500g for 10min. Iron solubilizing capabilities of ILC were pork(99.9±0.1%)>beef(93.6±3.5%)>chicken(75.8±1.8%)>fish(64.6±3.6%)>egg white(50.9±0.9%)(p<0.05). The compositional and physico-chemical characteristics of the ILC from the above dietary protein sources were investigated.

Inhibition of Aflatoxin B1 Biosynthesis by Piperlongumine Isolated from Piper Longum L.

( Sung Eun Lee ),( Noreen E. Mahoney ),( Bruce C. Campbell ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2002 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.12 No.4

The alkaloids, piperlongumine, piperine, pipemonaline, and piperoctadecalidine, isolated from Piper longum L., were found to inhibit the biosynthesis of aflatoxin B1, (AFB1,) in Aspergillus flavus WRRC 3-90-42-12. Piperlongumine was the most active among the compounds tested, with a 96% inhibition of AFB1, biosynthesis at 0.2% (w/v) supplement in a potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. The three other piperidine alkaloids, piperine, pipemonaline, and piperoctadecalidine, also inhibited the biosynthesis of AFB1. Of these three alkaloids, piperoctadecalidine exhibited a potent inhibitory activity with a 100% inhibition of AFB1, production at 0.7% (w/v) supplement in a PDA medium. Therefore, piperlongumine and piperoctadecalidine could be used as antiaflatoxigenic agents in agricultural industries. To determine the antiaflatoxigenic mode of action of piperlongumine, further studies are needed.

Will Dengue Vaccines Be Used in the Public Sector and if so, How? Findings from an 8-country Survey of Policymakers and Opinion Leaders

Douglas, Don L.,DeRoeck, Denise A.,Mahoney, Richard T.,Wichmann, Ole Public Library of Science 2013 PLoS neglected tropical diseases Vol.7 No.3

<▼1><P><B>Background</B></P><P>A face-to-face survey of 158 policymakers and other influential professionals was conducted in eight dengue-endemic countries in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam) and Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua) to provide an indication of the potential demand for dengue vaccination in endemic countries, and to anticipate their research and other requirements in order to make decisions about the introduction of dengue vaccines. The study took place in anticipation of the licensure of the first dengue vaccine in the next several years.</P><P><B>Methods/Principal Findings</B></P><P>Semi-structured interviews were conducted on an individual or small group basis with government health officials, research scientists, medical association officers, vaccine producers, local-level health authorities, and others considered to have a role in influencing decisions about dengue control and vaccines. Most informants across countries considered dengue a priority disease and expressed interest in the public sector use of dengue vaccines, with a major driver being the political pressure from the public and the medical community to control the disease. There was interest in a vaccine that protects children as young as possible and that can fit into existing childhood immunization schedules. Dengue vaccination in most countries surveyed will likely be targeted to high-risk areas and begin with routine immunization of infants and young children, followed by catch-up campaigns for older age groups, as funding permits. Key data requirements for decision-making were additional local dengue surveillance data, vaccine cost-effectiveness estimates, post-marketing safety surveillance data and, in some countries vaccine safety and immunogenicity data in the local population.</P><P><B>Conclusions/Significance</B></P><P>The lookout for the public sector use of dengue vaccines in the eight countries appears quite favorable. Major determinants of whether and when countries will introduce dengue vaccines include whether WHO recommends the vaccines, their price, the availability of external financing for lower income countries, and whether they can be incorporated into countries' routine immunization schedules.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Author Summary</B></P><P>Information gleaned from surveys of country-level policymakers and other opinion leaders can assist in planning the development, production and introduction of new or upcoming vaccines into public sector immunization programs. In the case of dengue vaccines, prevailing views among these leaders about the importance of the disease, their expressed level of interest in the government's use of the vaccine, and preferred strategies for vaccine introduction (e.g., geographically-targeted vs. nation-wide vaccination, specific age groups to target) can help to identify “early adopter” countries and indicate the level of demand for the vaccine. This information can be critical to current producers of the vaccine in planning their production capacity and to potential future producers in deciding whether to pursue development of the vaccine. This information also helps donors and international technical agencies, such as WHO and UNICEF, in setting their priorities and determining their level of technical and financial support to countries for the introduction of dengue vaccines. In addition, these surveys can provide crucial information to national governments and the above stakeholders about potential barriers to introducing dengue vaccines into national immunization programs, and what additional studies and data countries will require in order to make decisions about use of the vaccines in the public sector.</P></▼2>
