TL;DR: Alternative economic solutions ranging from incentive mechanisms to market-based solutions to motivate smart city product vendors, governments, and vulnerability researchers and finders to improve the cybersecurity of smart cities are explored.
Abstract: While the rapid progress in smart city technologies are changing cities and the lifestyle of the people, there are increasingly enormous challenges in terms of the safety and security of smart cities. The potential vulnerabilities of e-government products and imminent attacks on smart city infrastructure and services will have catastrophic consequences on the governments and can cause substantial economic and noneconomic losses, even chaos, to the cities and their residents. This paper aims to explore alternative economic solutions ranging from incentive mechanisms to market-based solutions to motivate smart city product vendors, governments, and vulnerability researchers and finders to improve the cybersecurity of smart cities.

TL;DR: Fossil vertebrates are distributed through three discrete stratigraphic intervals within the uppermost 180 m of the main body of the Wasatch Formation underlying the Green River Formation as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Fieldwork conducted in the Wasatch Formation in and around Fossil Butte has yielded a diverse assemblage of early Eocene vertebrates. Fossil vertebrates are distributed through three discrete stratigraphic intervals within the uppermost 180 m of the main body of the Wasatch Formation underlying the Green River Formation. These assemblages were derived primarily from fluvial overbank mudstone units overprinted with variably well-developed paleosols. The lowest (20 m) and highest (60 m) sections are characterized by less mature and more hydromorphic paleosols, whereas the middle section (100 m) is typified by more mature paleosols and more abundant channel sandstones. The combined assemblages contain at least 46 species of mammals. Faunal characteristics include high abundances of equid perissodactyls and a relatively high abundance and diversity of notharctines primates, an apparent absence of omomyid primates, relatively high rodent diversity, and relatively diverse and abundant artiodactyls. One new genus (Eoictops new genus) and three new species (Eoictops novaceki new species, Palaeosinopa lacus new species, and ?Notoparamys blochi new species) are included in the Fossil Butte assemblage. Also recorded are late occurrences of two hyopsodontid condylarths and an early occurrence of a rare phenacodontid condylarth. The relatively high abundances of equids and notharctines suggest that vertebrate samples were derived from relatively open paleohabitats that included forested areas along water courses. All three assemblages contain characteristic Lysitean (Wasatchian biochron Wa-6) elements, but the occurrence of the palaeotheriid perissodactyl Lambdotherium in the uppermost horizon indicates a Lostcabinian (Wa-7) age for at least the top of the Wasatch Formation. The overlying predominantly fish-bearing Fossil Butte Member of the Green River Formation also contains Lambdotherium and is therefore Wa-7 in age as well.

TL;DR: The inhibition of immediate recall of connected meaningful material by delayed auditory feedback cannot be accounted for as a function of the decreased reading rate and resultant greater exposure duration to the learning material.
Abstract: Summary.-Two groups of Ss, marched on reading rare, were exposed to the learning material for the same length of time. The experimental group practiced under conditions of delayed auditory feedback, the control group did nor. The immediate retention of learned material was significantly poorer in the experimental group. The inhibition of immediate recall of connected meaningful material by delayed auditory feedback cannot be accounted for as a function of the decreased reading rate and resultant greater exposure duration to the learning material. Studies of the immediate retention of connected meaningful material practiced under delayed auditory feedback (DAF) have consistently reported poorer retention under DAF as contrasted with appropriate control conditions (King, 1963; King & Dodge, 1965; King & Wolf, 1965; King & Walker, 1965). Another consistent finding of these, as well as other studies (Smith, 1962; Yates, 1963), has been a significant decrease in reading rate under DAF. The decrease in reading rare introduces a possible artifact in studies of DAF and retention. As Ss in the retention studies have always read the material once through from beginning to end, the decreased reading rate for the experimental Ss results in their being exposed to the learning material for a greater absolute time period as contrasted with non-DAF control Ss. The present study examines the influence of DAF on the immediate retention of connected meaningful material with the experimental and control groups equated for length of exposure to the learning material. Method.-The learning material consisted of rwo short stories slightly over 200 words in length. All Ss read the first story without any experimental manipulation. This familiarized S with the procedure and gave E a measure of S's reading rate. Twenty Ss ( 10 males and 10 females) were individually matched on reading rate. The matched pairs were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control-equal-time group (within the restrictions of numerical and sex balance). Ten additional Ss were utilized as a standard control group. In the resting phase, an S from the experimental group would read the second story which was presented with 0.2 sec. of DAF. The time was recorded for his reading of the story and an immediate oral recall was tape recorded. The S matched to the experimental S in reading rate was utilized next. This S did nor receive any DAF but was allowed to read the story for a time period equal
