Spatial anxiety mediates the sex difference in adult mental rotation test performance

open access: yesCognitive Research, 2020
Mental rotation ability is associated with successful advances in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and occupations. Meta-analyses have shown consistent sex disparities in mental rotation, where men outperform women on ...

A Mathematical Programming Model for Vegetable Rotations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1985
AbstractRotations have historically been used to alleviate pest problems in crop production. This paper considers methods of modeling rotations in linear programming models for Southeastern vegetable production. In such models, entering each possible crop rotation as a separate activity can be burdensome because of the large numbers of possible ...
