The Department was founded with an emphasis on the abstract study of complex operational systems in people and machines, rather than the more utilitarian studies which had characterized other engineering curricula.
The first two volumes on civil and penal law were later re-translated into English by the American utilitarian Richard Hildreth and published as The Theory of Legislation (1840), a text that remained at the centre of utilitarian studies in the English-speaking world through to the middle of the twentieth century.
Whereas these baseline RTs differences are independent of gender, we found significant gender-related differences in utilitarian responses studied before tDCS.
In a cross-sectional design, age negatively predicted utilitarian moral judgment (Study 1).
"Ours is the first research to show that the mere roundedness of a price number could significantly influence consumer preferences, depending on whether a purchase is driven by feelings or has a more utilitarian purpose," the study's authors explain.
11 Focusing on such utilitarian arguments, this study reviews evidence on links that have been demonstrated between patient experience and clinical effectiveness and patient safety.
These findings acquire strength because they come from a study investigating utilitarian judgments by tDCS in a large study sample, 78 subjects, balanced for sex and age and controlled for religious beliefs and type of education.
24 Studies on utilitarian walking routes only for adults aged 55+ in the Netherlands 25 found that parks and green strips were apparently inhibitors of walking, as were changes in level, litter on the streets and 'blind' or windowless walls facing the streets.
As with most academic writing about economics, the paper, titled "The Optimal Taxation of Height: A Case Study of Utilitarian Income Redistribution," comes complete with charts, graphs, complex formulas and incomprehensible language.
Utilitarian effects of this study can be used for description and clarification of processes occurring in mixing vessels with reciprocating agitators as well as during design optimization of apparatuses of this kind.
These support findings from a study on utilitarian walking in the Netherlands, which found changes in level and litter on the streets as barriers and good pavements and front gardens as supportive of older adults' walking 25 but, unlike this study, we found parks a significant support for outdoor activity.
