Die Antonymie-Heuristik: Automatische Falsifikation Valenter Information
… when valenced (positive or negative) information is falsified. According to former studies falsification is a non-automatic, higher-order cognitive process which depends on cognitive resources and people can only successfully negate information if they have the intention to do so. …

The Facility Location Problem
… facility location within a town based on given information from the village and to use the results to determine the optimal location for an emergency facility. A model of the problem was developed using a spreadsheet and computer program to record and analyze the optimal response time …

Utilization of abortion services: a local level analysis
… performed at a health care facility were not given information on abortion services. Because the cost of a procedure increases with gestation and the number of providers declines with second trimester abortions, the findings suggest that this lack of timely information could put the option of …

The Stability of Attitudes Shaped by Regulatory Depletion and the Roles of Need for Cognition, Attitude Certainty, and Argument Quality
… attitudes in response to new attitude-relevant information. 135 undergraduates completed depletion tasks and reported their attitudes following a persuasive message. After the presentation of a bogus computer error, participants were given information about the mentally fatiguing or replenishing …

A decision-support model for managing the fuel inventory of a Panamanian generating company
… After identifying the most important given information (fuel price forecast, demand forecast, and current inventory levels), we define the equations that relate these inputs with the order sizes, and the availability and reserve constraints. Due to the large number of constraints, we …

A virtual training environment for wheelchair mounted robot
… of usability. A relationship between the input given by the human motor system of the potential user and the response obtained from the model is evaluated by using Fitts' Law. Several works have been written using it as a model of prediction of human performance for Human-Computer Interaction. …

Gauge/Gravity Duality: Recovering the Bulk from the Boundary using AdS/CFT
… symmetric bulk spacetimes can be recovered given information of physical quantities in the dual boundary CFT. In particular, we use the existence of bulk-cone singularities (relating the location of operator insertion points of singular boundary correlation functions to the endpoints of …
