Here is a general description of what you might find in the Colorado State University Jewish community:

  1. Hillel Organization: Many universities, including CSU, have a Hillel organization, which is a Jewish student organization that provides a platform for Jewish students to connect, celebrate Jewish culture, and explore their faith. Hillel often organizes events, such as Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, and educational programs.
  2. Jewish Student Groups: CSU may have various Jewish student groups or clubs where students with shared interests within the Jewish community can come together. These groups may focus on different aspects of Jewish culture, social activities, or advocacy.
  3. Religious Services: Some universities with a significant Jewish population offer on-campus religious services, such as Shabbat services and High Holy Days observances, to accommodate students’ religious needs.
  4. Cultural Events: The Jewish community at CSU might organize cultural events and activities, such as lectures, film screenings, and cultural festivals, to promote understanding and appreciation of Jewish heritage and traditions.

To get the most accurate and up-to-date information about the Colorado State University Jewish community, I recommend visiting the university’s website or contacting the relevant student organizations and offices on campus. Additionally, you can connect with current students or alumni who are part of the Jewish community at CSU to gain insights into their experiences and activities.

Intelligent Fashion Recommender System: Fuzzy Logic in Personalized Garment Design

Abstract. This paper proposes a new intelligent fashion recommender system to select the most relevant garment design scheme for a specific consumer in order to deliver new personalized garment products. This system integrates emotional fashion themes and human perception on personalized body shapes and professional designers’ knowledge. The corresponding perceptual data are systematically collected from professional using sensory evaluation techniques. The perceptual data of consumers and designers are formalized mathematically using fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations. The complex relation between human body measurements and basic sensory descriptors, provided by designers, is modeled using fuzzy decision trees. The fuzzy decision trees constitute an empirical model based on learning data measured and evaluated on a set of representative samples.

The complex relation between basic sensory descriptors and fashion themes, given by consumers, is modeled using fuzzy cognitive maps. The combination of the two models can provide more complete information to the fashion recommender system, making it possible to evaluate if a specific body shape is relevant to a desired emotional fashion theme and which garment design scheme can improve the image of the body shape. The proposed system has been validated in a customized design and mass market selection through the evaluations of target consumers and fashion experts using a method frequently used in marketing study.

Drivers and Barriers to Implementation of Connected, Automated, Shared, and Electric Vehicles

An Agenda for Future Research

 

Abstract:  Several converging trends appear to reshape the way citizens and goods move about. These trends are social, including urbanization and population growth, and technological, such as increased automation and connectivity. All these factors influence the market for connected, automated, shared and electric (CASE) vehicles, which presents many opportunities and challenges. The pace of the shift to a profoundly penetrated market for CASE vehicles is far from secure. Such transformation depends on the development of technologies, consumer attitudes, and policies. An expanding body of research has investigated the potential social and behavioral results of deploying CASE vehicles. However, most academic literature to date concentrates on technological issues linked to these vehicles.

There are several teams from federal and state agencies, OEMs, academia, startups, and consortiums working on this complex subject. This study investigates several academic papers, as well as federal and industry reports, considering all the stakeholders mentioned above. Its aim is to present a comprehensive picture of the implementation barriers and drivers of CASE vehicle usage and provide suggestions to solve them. The findings confirm that several issues are currently affecting the implementation of CASE vehicles on the road. Although there have been significant partnerships and collaborations between CASE vehicle stakeholders, namely technology companies, federal-state agencies, and academic scholars, considerable work is still required to solve the remaining barriers facing CASE-related technologies. This would enable decision-makers to create effective policies for future transportation networks and increase the speed of CASE vehicle market penetration to enhance road network’s level of service.
