OBJECTIVE We investigated the impact of two types of intermodal referring expressions on efficiency of instructions for use. BACKGROUND User manuals for software or technical devices such as a video recording system frequently combine verbal instructions and illustrations. Much research has shown that the presence of an illustration has a beneficial effect on learning. The present study focus...

Title of Document: Intermodal Transfer Coordination in Logistic Networks Cheng-Chieh (Frank) Chen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Dr. Paul M. Schonfeld, Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Increasing awareness that globalization and information technology affect the patterns of transport and logistic activities has increased interest in the integration of interm...

We experimentally investigate intermodal nonlinear mixing, such as Raman and four wave mixing. This is obtained by pumping in the fundamental mode, or either of the two full vectorial modes, TM01 and TE01 in a specialty designed few moded fiber. © 2013 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 190.4370 (Nonlinear optics, fibers); 190.5650 (Raman effect); 190.4223 (Nonlinear wave mixing) In past ye...

Determining the optimal number and location of intermodal transshipment terminals is a decision that strongly influences the viability of the intermodal transportation alternative. In this paper, we develop a model and an optimization method that provides policy makers with a tool to help them take these decisions. 5 The objective of the terminal location problem described in this paper is to d...

In this paper we develop a neural network which learns intermodal representations for fashion attributes to be utilized in a cross-modal search tool. Our neural network learns from organic e-commerce data, which is characterized by clean image material, but noisy and incomplete product descriptions. First, we experiment with techniques to segment ecommerce images and their product descriptions ...

Park and ride (P&R) facilities provide intermodal transfer between private vehicles public transportation systems to alleviate urban congestion. This study developed a mathematical programming formulation for determining P&R facility locations. A recently Weibit-based model was adopted represent the traveler choice behavior with heterogeneity. The model’s independence of irrelevant alte...

The effects of sensory signal characteristics on the duration discrimination of intermodal intervals was investigated in three experiments. Temporal intervals were marked by either the successive presentation of a visual then auditory signal (VA), or by the successive presentation of an auditory then visual signal (AV). The results indicated that (1) VA intervals are generally easier to discrim...

To investigate whether the mechanisms underlying endogenous tactile spatial attention differ under pure tactile compared to mixed modality conditions event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded to bilateral tactile and visual cues and tactile imperative stimuli. In the cue-stimulus interval the anterior directing attention negativity (ADAN) was present contralateral to the side of the a...

China’s cross-border e-commerce companies are facing the problem of high logistics cost caused by excessive reliance on road transportation in domestic link. In long-term development, crossborder United States have adopted intermodal mode, which can reduced costs. order to study impact intermodal-transportation mode scale companies, this paper selects relevant data Hub Group, first marketing co...
