The distractor repetition effect in the attentional blink: Inhibition or facilitated ignoring? http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:239999 It is widely assumed that distractor stimuli in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) are actively inhibited to aid target identification. The attentional blink (AB), a deficit in the identification of a target (T2) when it occurs within several hundred ms of a prior target (T1), is attenuated when the distractor items immediately preceding and following T1 are identical. Previously, this has been interpreted as a reduction of masking due to cumulative inhibition. However, this view sits at odds with evidence in the word identification literature for easier detection of repeated stimuli. Theoretically, a repetition benefit to distractor detection could make a target easier to distinguish from nearby distractors. This ‘facilitated ignoring’ account of the distractor repetition benefit was compared with the inhibition account in a series of experiments. Results indicate greater activation for repeated than non-repeated distractors, which is inconsistent with the inhibition perspective. However, evidence for the connection between a repetition benefit and facilitated ignoring was deficient. 2011-04-06T00:00:00Z Robert de Lisle The distribution of income in a globalised world : has inequality increased? / David Warner. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:217659 2010-10-01T00:00:00Z Warner, David.

The ability to effectively identify, assess and manage risk may enable strategic investments to be sheltered and operations to perform closer to their potential. In mining, geological uncertainty is seen as the major contributor to not meeting project expectations. The need to assess and manage geological risk for project valuation and decision-making translates to the need to assess and manage risk in any pertinent parameter of open pit design and production scheduling. This is achieved by taking geological uncertainty into account in the mine optimisation process. This thesis develops methods that enable geological uncertainty to be effectively modelled and the resulting risk in long-term production scheduling to be quantified and managed. One of the main accomplishments of this thesis is the development of a new, risk-based method for the optimisation of long-term production scheduling. In addition to maximising economic returns, the new method minimises the risk of deviating from production forecasts, given the understanding of the orebody. This ability represents a major advance in the risk management of open pit mining. 2007-08-24T00:00:00Z Godoy, Marcelo
