Previous research suggests that operators with high workload can distrust and then poorly monitor automation, which has been generally inferred from automation dependence behaviors. To test automation monitoring more directly, the current study measured operators' visual attention allocation, workload, and trust toward imperfect automation in a dynamic multitasking environment. Participants concurrently performed a manual tracking task with two levels of difficulty and a system monitoring task assisted by an unreliable signaling system. Eye movement data indicate that operators allocate less visual attention to monitor automation when the tracking task is more difficult. Participants reported reduced levels of trust toward the signaling system when the tracking task demanded more focused visual attention. Analyses revealed that trust mediated the relationship between the load of the tracking task and attention allocation in Experiment 1, an effect that was not replicated in Experiment 2. Results imply a complex process underlying task load, visual attention allocation, and automation trust during multitasking. Automation designers should consider operators' task load in multitasking workspaces to avoid reduced automation monitoring and distrust toward imperfect signaling systems.

Background: Nurses serving in infectious disease ward represent a distinct occupational group that has attracted considerable attention following epidemic outbreaks. However, prior to this study, no research had delved into the underlying mechanism linking anxiety to burnout symptoms among infectious disease nurses. This study aimed to explore investigate the association between anxiety and burnout among nurses working in such environments and scrutinized the mediating role of perceived stress and the moderating influence of resilience on the principal relationship.

Background: As placebo interventions could influence appetite and satiety in first studies, they are a promising tool for the future treatment of obesity. Furthermore, individuals with heightened body weight show increased selective attention for food cues. This study aimed to investigate whether placebo induced changes of appetite and satiety can affect attention allocation and to examine correlating factors.

The effectiveness of loss-framed versus gain-framed messages in attracting attention and influencing purchase intention among younger and older adults remains unclear. We tracked the eye movements of 92 younger (18-39 years) and 83 older adults (60-82 years) while they viewed 32 advertisements and reported their purchase intentions for each advertised product. The results showed that loss-framed (vs.

Article Synopsis
- Signal transduction is key for communication and response in microbial communities, allowing them to adapt to environmental changes and establish structures for collective behaviors.
- Microbial communication occurs through methods like quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and chemotaxis, which help coordinate activities, enhance resource use, and improve resilience against stress.
- Understanding these signaling processes, especially in synthetic microbial consortia, has important implications for biotechnology, including biosensors, biodegradation, and waste management.
A multi-modal geospatial-temporal LSTM based deep learning framework for predictive modeling of urban mobility patterns.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Computing and Information Systems, Sunway University, 47500, Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.
Urban mobility prediction is crucial for optimizing resource allocation, managing transportation systems, and planning urban development. We propose a novel framework, GeoTemporal LSTM (GT-LSTM), designed to address the intricate spatiotemporal dynamics of urban environments. GT-LSTM integrates temporal dependencies with geographic information through a multi-modal approach that combines attention mechanisms and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).
