Ensuring Packaging Accessibility For Those With Red-Green Colorblindness: A Case Study, Perian Reese, R. Andrew Hurley, George Cavender

Journal of Applied Packaging Research

Red-green colorblindness is widespread, affecting up to 8% of men and 0.5% of women, primarily among those of Northern European descent [1]. This color vision deficiency often results in profound difficulty distinguishing between red and green. Medically speaking, the condition is most commonly caused by one of two conditions- protanopia or deuteranopia. Protanopia is the lack of red photoreceptors in the retina, while deuteranopia is the lack of green photoreceptors [1].

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

Higher education plays a critical role in driving an innovative economy by equipping students with knowledge and skills demanded by the workforce. While researchers and practitioners have developed data systems to track detailed occupational skills, such as those established by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), much less effort has been made to document which of these skills are being developed in higher education at a similar granularity. Here, we fill this gap by presenting Course-Skill Atlas – a longitudinal dataset of skills inferred from over three million course syllabi taught at nearly three thousand U.S. higher education institutions. To …

Faids: Artificial Intelligence Developmental Systems Framework For Predicting And Preventing Cyberattacks In Supply Chain Networks, Lordt Becklines

Research & Publications

Cyber threats and attacks disrupt and damages supply chain networks (SCNs), which are complex and interlinked. Current methods to predict and prevent cyberattacks are inadequate and ineffective.
