Lorentz and C P T tests with charge-to-mass ratio comparisons in Penning traps

Abstract: Applications of the general theory of quantum electrodynamics with Lorentz- and $CPT$-violating operators of mass dimensions up to six are presented to Penning-trap experiments comparing charge-to-mass ratios between particles and antiparticles. Perturbation theory is used to derive Lorentz- and $CPT$-violating contributions to the energy levels and cyclotron frequencies of confined particles and antiparticles. We show that whether the experimental interpreted quantity $(|q|/m{)}_{\overline{w}}/(|q|/m{)}_{w}\ensuremath{-}1$ is a clean measure of a $CPT$ test depends on the context of the relevant theory. Existing experimental results of charge-to-mass ratio comparisons are used to obtain first-time constraints on 69 coefficients for Lorentz and $CPT$ violation.

Information Literacy and the Introductory Management Classroom

Abstract: This article proposes that the integration of information literacy standards into the management classroom can address underdeveloped student research strategies and promote effective use of print, digital, and free Web resources. Incorporating information literacy can support management educators in their need to balance disciplinary content, departmental curriculum, and broader educational goals that support the preparation of future managers. This article begins with a review of core information literacy concepts and standards. An in-depth discussion of information literacy challenges on campus and in the workplace follows. Next, the authors offer an evolving case example that illustrates the incorporation of information literacy skills and concepts into an introductory management course. Implications and suggestions for management educators are explored.

The Role of Human Operators' Suspicion in the Detection of Cyber Attacks

Abstract: Despite the importance that human error in the cyber domain has had in recent reports, cyber warfare research to date has largely focused on the effects of cyber attacks on the target computer system. In contrast, there is little empirical work on the role of human operators during cyber breaches. More specifically, there is a need to understand the human-level factors at play when attacks occur. This paper views cyber attacks through the lens of suspicion, a construct that has been used in other contexts, but inadequately defined, in prior research. After defining the construct of suspicion, the authors demonstrate the role that suspicion plays as the conduit between computer operators' normal working behaviors and their ability to alter that behavior to detect and react to cyber attacks. With a focus on the user, rather than the target computer, the authors empirically develop a latent structure for a variety of types of cyber attacks, link that structure to levels of operator suspicion, link suspicion to users' cognitive and emotional states, and develop initial implications for cyber training.
