Psychology and Aging Can An Old Dog Learn (and Want To Experience) New Tricks? Cognitive Training Increases Openness to Experience in Older Adults

Can an old dog learn (and want to experience) new tricks? Cognitive training increases openness to experience in older adults.

The present study investigated whether an intervention aimed to increase cognitive ability in older adults also changes the personality trait of openness to experience. Older adults completed a 16-week program in inductive reasoning training supplemented by weekly crossword and Sudoku puzzles. Changes in openness to experience were modeled across four assessments over 30 weeks using latent grow...

Suppliers Selection in Consideration of Risks by a Neural Network

Faced with the dynamic demands of a changing market, companies are facing fierce competition, which forces them to consider more and more new approaches to improve quality, reduce costs, produce on time, control their risks and remain successful in the face of any disruption. It is clear that the choice of appropriate suppliers is one of the key factors in increasing the competitiveness of comp...

Adaptive Quaternion Attitude Control of Aerodynamic Flight Control Vehicles

Conventional quaternion based methods have been extensively employed for spacecraft attitude control where the aerodynamic forces can be neglected. In the presence of aerodynamic forces, the flight attitude control is more complicated due to aerodynamic moments and inertia uncertainties. In this paper, a robust nero-adaptive quat...
