Studies have shown that random order crossover helps reduces the risk of an out-of-stock event when an order that was issued later arrives earlier to offset the late arrival of an order issued earlier. The current school of thought is that, although such crossovers create complexities from a modeling perspective, they are surprisingly beneficial in practice since they decrease the realized lead...

This study aimed to test whether individual differences in perspective taking could be explained with two underpinning cognitive dimensions: The ability to handle the conflict between our egocentric perspective and another person’s perspective and the relative attentional focus during processing on the egocentric perspective versus another person’s perspective. We conducted cluster analyses on ...

Use of divergent (or inverse) perspective in pictures is often regarded as arbitrary or even as erroneous in spite of the fact that entire schools of art exist in which this kind of perspective is regularly used. An experiment is reported which shows that a significant trend towards divergent perspective is experienced by subjects viewing laterally displaced three-dimensional arrays. Centrally ...

Spatial Transformations are the mental operations that users perform on graphs and visualizations in an effort to extract information that is not explicit. Unfortunately, previous research in the area of Spatial Transformations employed a statistically insignificant number of subject participants (e.g. astronomers, physicists, meteorologists, or undergraduate students). Although graph comprehen...

Recent years have witnessed the rise of an emerging class synthetic two-dimensional (2D) materials-2D polymers. The combination organic chemistry and rational design polymeric crystals has stimulated tremendous research efforts in controlled synthesis 2D However, despite advancement methodologies, structural characterization polymers remains a significant challenge. Although aberration-correcte...
