This paper uses the Hexagon Spindle model of ergonomics to provide a framework for the development of person centred approaches to vehicle and transport design. The benefits of taking this approach, and the factors that might be included under a more inclusive definition of automotive and Transport ergonomics are explained.

In this note, we prove the uniqueness of the one-point extension S of a generalized hexagon of order 2 and prove the non-existence of such an extension S of any other finite generalized hexagon of classical order, different from the one of order 2, and of the known finite generalized octagons provided the following property holds: for any three points x, y and z of S, the graph theoretic distan...

Database queries expressing user preferences have been found to be crucial for personalized applications. Such preference queries, in particular Pareto preference queries, pose new optimization challenges for efficient evaluation. So far however, all known generic Pareto evaluation algorithms suffer from non-linear worst case runtimes. Here we present the first generic algorithm, called Hexagon...

Terrestrial conservation planning is well developed. In comparison, there are only a handful of published marine conservation plans and few of them are quantitative. The Nature Conservancy’s strategic planning approach, called “Conservation by Design,” employs an ecoregional planning methodology to construct conservation portfolios, or high-priority conservation areas. This chapter reports on t...

Paul Erdős’s Empty Hexagon Problem asks if there exists a number H(6) such that for all sets of n ≥ H points in general position on the plane six of the points form the vertices of an empty convex hexagon. This problem is open.

We compute the bulk limit of the correlation functions for the uniform measure on lozenge tilings of a hexagon. The limiting determinantal process is a translation invariant extension of the discrete sine process, which also describes the ergodic Gibbs measure of an appropriate slope. Introduction In this paper we study a well-known combinatorial model of determinantal point processes in dimens...
