Nominal Science without Data
(2022-09-28)
Expanding upon literature on early digital computers, this paper shows the role mathematicians have undertaken in founding the academic fields of Game Theory and Operations Research, and details how they were supported by the mathematics departments of military agencies in branches of the US Armed Services. This paper claims that application is only decoration. Other than astronomy, physics and engineering, where experiments generate data analysed with the aid of models and appropriate software on computers, Game ...

Ultimately, clarifying the ambiguities ...

The Swiss company Hupac successfully developed container transport with transalpine freight transport by rail between Germany and Italy. In the 1930s, Europe and the U.S. had agreed on a common ISO standard for 20 foot containers and 40 foot containers, so that empty containers could be exchanged between the various shipping companies in the global supply chains. But this standard is not compatible with the metric system of ...

Consumers ’ perception of sustainable packaging in the food industry: An online experiment
(2022-01)
Consumers evaluate products and make purchasing decisions based on packaging and its sustainable aspects. This research investigated how different packages and their quality, eco-friendliness, expensiveness, and convenience affected consumers’ intentions to purchase. Our sample comprised 299 French consumers of muesli cereals. We conducted an online choice experiment to analyze and measure consumers’ perception of sustainable packaging, comparing three distinct experimental groups. Findings revealed that quality and ...
