Glover’s planning–control model is based on his finding that visual illusions exert a larger effect in early phases than in late phases of a movement. But evidence for this dynamic illusion effect is weak, because: (a) it appears difficult to replicate; (b) Glover overestimates the accuracy of his results; and (c) he seems to underestimate the illusion effect at late

Abstract This is a history of the creation book Fatal Years: Child Mortality in late-Nineteenth-Century America (1991) by authors. The data were sample households from 1900 United States Census manuscripts. primary method used was indirect estimation child mortality (approximately ages 0–4) using information on age and marriage duration women. Among findings overall lower than 1900/1902 Glover ...

Andrew Glover and Jose Mustre-del-Rio examine how monetary policy may amplify or dampen the response of employment inflation to an increase in minimum wage. Their model-based analysis suggests a wage has expansionary effects on economy if central bank is relatively unresponsive current inflation, contractionary responds more aggressively (more than one-for-one) inflation. More generally, their ...

The problem of fixed-order and fixed-structure controller tuning has been known for more than half a century and is a one of the classic problems of the control theory. Great number of papers and several monographs are devoted to this problem (e.g., Rotach et al., 1984; Datta, 1998; Datta et al., 2000; Astrom & Hagglund, 2006). Analytic methods based on information on structure and form of plan...

A recent study (Yin et al., 2010) showed that combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the strategies of scatter search (SS) and path relinking (PR) produces a Cyber Swarm Algorithm that creates a more effective form of PSO than methods that do not incorporate such mechanisms. This paper proposes a Complementary Cyber Swarm Algorithm (C/CyberSA) that performs in the same league as the o...

Since the creation of operations research as a discipline, a continued interest has been in the development of heuristics or approximation algorithms to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems. As many problems have been proven computationally intractable, the heuristic approaches become increasingly important in solving various large practical problems. The most popular heuristics th...
