Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) and Behavior Detection Officers (BDOs) are an integral part of the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) multilayered security program. Both officers are required to visually search their environments for prohibited items and cues that might be indicative of a threat. The purpose of this project was to identify factors that predicted the visual search success of these officers. A simulated visual search task was completed by 375 TSOs and BDOs, along with a battery of surveys designed to measure individual differences in personality traits, abilities, hobbies, and spatial ability. Results showed that TSOs and BDOs were highly accurate in their searches but that TSOs searched images faster than BDOs without sacrificing accuracy. Additional results showed that the strongest predictors of visual search accuracy were search speed and search consistency, but spatial ability emerged as a significant predictor for TSOs and frequency of video-game play emerged as a significant predictor for BDOs. Additional traits were also correlated with search performance but did not emerge as significant predictors in our regression models. Practical implication and directions for future research are discussed.

Revised! ENY-334, a 3-page illustrated fact sheet by E.A. Buss and L. Williams, describes the biology and behavior, detection, and control of this pest of centipedegrass and other turfgrasses and ornamentals in northern and northwestern Florida. This revision expands the section on chemical control and updates and restructures the tables of insecticides registered in Florida, separating those registered for homeowners from those registered for professional use. First published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology in October 1993, revised June 2006.

The lip behavior detection is work foundation by utilizing video control software behavior, which including the lip positioning, feature extraction and behavior recognition. It is proposed that we utilize LBP operator to conduct lip feature extraction in this article, and adopt SVM to conduct classification and recognition of behavior. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively achieve detection and identification of lip behavior in the article, which meet the real-time and robustness in video processing.

AbstractThe target article by Boyer & Petersen (B&P) contributes a vital message: that people have folk economic theories that shape their thoughts and behavior in the marketplace. This message is all the more important because, in the history of economic thought, Homo economicus was increasingly stripped of mental capacities. Intuitive theories can help restore the mind of Homo economicus.
