The impact of visual formats on product rating interpretation

DNVN - Consumers view the same product rating differently depending on whether it's displayed as stars or numbers, with new research showing that star ratings may unintentionally inflate product evaluations.

DNVN - Procrastination, or the deliberate but detrimental deferral of tasks, takes many forms. Sahiti Chebolu of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics analyses its various patterns and the underlying causes of them using an exact mathematical framework. Her observations may be useful in modifying specific approaches to the problem.
DNVN - In a study published in Nature Geoscience, researchers at the University of Birmingham discovered that marine cloud brightening (MCB), also known as marine cloud engineering, works primarily by increasing cloud cover, which accounts for 60-90% of the cooling effect.
