Sustainability has received widespread attention in both academia and industry, but there is still a paucity of research investigating the relationships between gender, consumer innovativeness, clothing, as well how they may influence sustainable practices. The overarching objective this study to investigate clothing expenditure, product cues (intrinsic, extrinsic sustainable), gender (men women) innovativeness (fashion innovators non-innovators) China, order find out these factors...

To better understand consumer behaviour and preferences for apparel shopping in Asia, we collected data through questionnaire surveys China Taiwan on three topics: online offline behaviours; product evaluative criteria; fashion information sources. The study showed that women both shopped more frequently than men. Chinese consumers did their Taiwanese counterparts.

The current autonomous stack is well modularized and consists of perception, decision making control in a handcrafted framework. With the advances artificial intelligence (AI) computing resources, researchers have been pushing development end-to-end AI for driving, at least problems small searching space such as highway scenarios, more photorealistic simulation will be critical efficient learning. In this research, we propose novel game-based learning testing framework vehicle by from human...

Allocating storage space at TPL systems differs significantly from traditional private logistics systems. The resources are commodities sold directly to customers of different characteristics. Total revenue suffers when allocating too much lower-rate (i.e. price sensitive) customers; and the allocated full-rate time become "spoiled" orders do not arrive as expected. random nature order characteristics (including arrival pattern) makes allocation decisions very hard. This paper proposed a...
