Optimizing The Global Performance Of Build-to-order Supply Chains
… design that simultaneously considers multiple performance measures at three stages of a BOSC – Tier I suppliers, the focal manufacturing company and Tier I customers (product delivery couriers). We present a heuristic solution approach that constructs the best BOSC configuration through the …

Empirical Study on Improving Hate Speech Detection: Novel BERT based One-Versus-All Classification Approach (BOVAC) with a Novel Performance Metric: Global Performance (GP)
… improving the task of hate speech detection. The performance of the proposed approach is assessed based on an empirical study on a dataset which was previously constructed, cleaned and manually labeled by Davidson and colleagues (Davidson et al., 2017). In addition to presenting an approach to …

Incorporating global information into local nonlinear controllers
For a particular equilibrium point, the local performance is determined by the partial derivatives of the control law evaluated at the equilibrium point. For a linear controller, the derivatives are equal to the state-feedback gains and the gains on the external inputs. These gains can be changed …

DEM Study of a Single Stone Column in a Clayey Stratum
… Other factors responsible for altering the global performance of aggregate piers are column length and the undrained shear strength of the matrix soil. Full-scale 3D discrete element method (DEM) simulations were conducted to reproduce field plate load tests performed on small circular …

Interactions between global and local performance incentives on decision-making and categorization
… work has shown that the regulatory fit between global approach/avoidance goals and the local approach/avoidance mechanisms of goal pursuit influence cognition and behavior in predictable ways. A regulatory fit leads to an increase in motivation and engagement relative to a regulatory mismatch. …

Performance of Reinforced Concrete Edge Beam -Column -Slab Connections Subjected to Earthquake Loading
… shear deformations that contribute greatly to global drift. Therefore, the ""rigid joint"" assumption may result in misinterpretation of the global performance characteristics of frames and could consequently lead to miscalculation of strength and ductility demands on constituent frame members. …

Robust Distributed Stabilization of Interconnected Multiagent Systems
… stabilization, reference tracking, and global performance guarantees. Depending on the objectives, the designer may choose agent-level low-dimension or multiagent system-level high-dimension approaches to develop distributed algorithms. With an inappropriately designed algorithm, the …

The novelty of improvisation: towards a genre of embodied spontaneity
… undermines the significance and impact of this global performance modality, and has resulted in improvisatory modes being largely ignored or downplayed in modern historical accounts of theatre. This dissertation examines improvisation on its own terms, seeking to understand its unique features, …

Assessing the Relationship Between Item Recognition and Source Memory Using Multivariate Signal Detection Theory
… account for source memory and recognition memory performance. The model is grounded in the source monitoring framework, which suggests that the strength of a test probe depends upon what aspects of a memory representation are queried. In four experiments, the fit of the model to empirical data is …
