Virtual Reality in Manual Order Picking
Virtual Reality in Manual Order Picking: Using Head-Mounted Devices for Planning and Training
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3658347031 | 237 Pages | PDF EPUB | 34 MB
The introduction of consumer-level head-mounted devices (HMDs) has led to a major drop in the application costs of virtual reality (VR), making the technology available for a wide range of users. To understand if VR HMDs can be used for planning and training in the context of manual order picking, this thesis provides the results of a large-scale randomized controlled study in which order picking has been compared between a virtual and a real environment. The results imply that VR HMDs can indeed be used by manufacturers and warehouse operators in a rack planning process if the reduction of searching times or the perceived workload is in focus. Additionally, the findings enable the use of VR HMDs for scientific research on human-centred rack design. Finally, the thesis highlights the usability of VR HMDs for training manual order picking activities.


Urban Health, Sustainability, and Peace in the Day the World Stopped
Urban Health, Sustainability, and Peace in the Day the World Stopped
English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811648875 | 202 Pages | PDF | 8 MB
'Urban Health, Sustainability, and Peace' is the first book that attempts to put these three critical areas together. This novelty approaches the subject matter by delving into evaluating what works, what does not work, and what should be done to achieve healthy cities. We believe this book will be beneficial to a wide range of stakeholders, particularly policymakers, planners, and developers, who continuously shape and reshape the structure and environments of our cities and communities. Unfortunately, in most cases, the healthiness of the cities may not be of their immediate concern. Nevertheless, it is the concern of the end-users, citizens, or simply those who live and work in cities and communities worldwide. To safeguard peace in cities, one has to consider sustaining urban health; and that is the main aim of this book.

Understanding Elections through Statistics
Understanding Elections through Statistics: Polling, Prediction, and Testing
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367895374 | 226 Pages | PDF | 11 MB
Elections are random events. From individuals deciding whether to vote, to people deciding for whom to vote, to election authorities deciding what to count, the outcomes of competitive democratic elections are rarely known until election day...or beyond. Understanding Elections through Statistics: Polling, Prediction, and Testing explores this random phenomenon from two points of view: predicting the election outcome using opinion polls and testing the election outcome using government-reported data.


Ultrasound for Material Characterization and Processing
Ultrasound for Material Characterization and Processing by Francesca Lionetto
English | PDF | 2021 | 189 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 31.1 MB
Ultrasonic waves are nowadays used for multiple purposes in many different fields from the non-destructive inspection of materials to sonochemical synthesis of materials and welding. Usually, ultrasonic applications are divided into low intensity/high frequency ultrasound and high intensity/low frequency ultrasound. Low intensity ultrasound transmits energy through the medium in order to obtain the information about the medium or to convey information through the medium.
