No full textDuring the Cold War, the USA was concerned that Russia would invade Alaska and American intelligence officers created the Stay Behind Agent Program to counter. At this event, Don Neal, author of the Ben Hunnicutt series that includes Cross Kill, Warhead, and washtub Gold, discusses the Nike missile system, the top-secret anti-espionage campaign Operation Washtub, and other Cold War activities in Alaska
Affective Influences on Employee Satisfaction and Performance
No full textAffective influences on employee satisfaction and performance David T. Wagner and Remus Ilies Introduction For much of the 20th century, scientific psychology has been dominated by the behaviorist approach formulated and promoted by influential writers such as J.B. Watson, E.L. Thorndike, and B.F. Skinner. Within the behaviorist tradition, unobservable psychological terms such as those describing emotions, moods and feelings were considered unworthy of scientific scrutiny. In the cognitivist paradigm that extended and then replaced behaviorism, again, feelings and emotions were de-emphasized because they were thought to disrupt rationality. In the organizational domain, scholars have formulated cognitive models aimed at explaining job performance, motivation and attitudes
Material Spirituality with Neal DeRoo Pt. I
No full textIs spirituality one part of our lives that we experience in worship? Or does it permeate our whole being? Are we able to pull spirituality and religion apart? What would happen if we considered how our spirituality is embodied, deeply, in our world? In this inaugural episode of Critical Faith, Neal DeRoo explores these questions in his lecture "Toward a Material Spirituality: Religion and Phenomenological Expression." The recording is the first of three parts, all from a Scripture, Faith, and Scholarship Seminar hosted at the Institute for Christian Studies.
Neal DeRoo is Canada Research Chair in Phenomenology and Philosophy of Religion and Associate Professor of Philosophy at The King's University in Edmonton, Alberta, and the author of Futurity in Phenomenology: Promise and Method in Husserl, Levinas, and Derrida (Fordham: 2013)
A bi-criteria evolutionary algorithm for a constrained multi-depot vehicle routing problem
Get PDFMost research about the vehicle routing problem (VRP) does not collectively address many of the constraints that real-world transportation companies have regarding route assignments. Consequently, our primary objective is to explore solutions for real-world VRPs with a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles, multi-depot subcontractors (drivers), and pickup/delivery time window and location constraints. We use a nested bi-criteria genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the total time to complete all jobs with the fewest number of route drivers. Our model will explore the issue of weighting the objectives (total time vs. number of drivers) and provide Pareto front solutions that can be used to make decisions on a case-by-case basis. Three different real-world data sets were used to compare the results of our GA vs. transportation field experts’ job assignments. For the three data sets, all 21 Pareto efficient solutions yielded improved overall job completion times. In 57 % (12/21) of the cases, the Pareto efficient solutions also utilized fewer drivers than the field experts’ job allocation strategies
