Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the life and work of Frank Gilbreth using a critical biographical approach to draw connections between his life experiences and the major contributions he made to management history. Design/methodology/approach The research design is critical biography. First, a biography is provided that reveals critical incidents from his childhood, his early career before marriage, his life after his marriage and his key personality traits. Gilbreth’s major contributions to management thought are then considered in context of his biography. Findings Although Frank Gilbreth is recalled for his contributions to management history through his work in advancing efficiency through motion studies, he should likewise be credited for his foresight of management theories related to the human element in organizations. The major influences on Gilbreth’s career include Lillian Gilbreth and Frederick Taylor. Research limitations/implications A limitation of critical biography is that researchers cannot address causality but, rather, are focused on drawing connections between life experiences and significant accomplishments. Originality/value Critical biography can illuminate theory and practice by providing greater clarity by examining concepts in depth and in context. The authors situate Frank Gilbreth’s work in the context of his lived experiences.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the significant contributions of Lillian M. Gilbreth through the lens of critical biography to put her work in the context of her life events, her key roles, the turning points in her life and the societal context within which her contributions to management thought were made. Design/methodology/approach Critical biography examines the interaction of a person’s life events with the social, economic and political contexts surrounding his or her life and draws inferences as to why the person made specific decisions and contributions. Findings Key contributions to management thought made by Lillian M. Gilbreth are linked to her biographical events, including the multiple roles she played as daughter, student, wife, mother, author, engineer, psychologist, breadwinner, domestic scientist and teacher. Various turning points in her life are identified, including being allowed to go to college, taking her first psychology course, marrying Frank Gilbreth, publishing Fatigue Studies and Frank’s death. Key societal factors that influenced Gilbreth’s contributions were the growing interest in scientific management, the status of women and the increased interest in domestic science. Research limitations/implications The qualitative technique of critical biography is demonstrated as a useful methodology for examining individual contributions to management history. The authors acknowledge the limitation of subjective interpretation. Practical implications The reasons behind Lillian Gilbreth’s contributions, which were considered a precursor to the human relations era, are extrapolated from this research. Social implications The influence of social context is examined, as it pertains to the life and work of Lillian Gilbreth. Originality/value This paper provides a critical biography of Lillian M. Gilbreth and her work within the context of her life and times.

Abstract:
This article offers a close examination of the early twentieth-century studies of surgical motion conducted by Frank Gilbreth, the celebrated industrial efficiency expert. The willingness of surgeons to submit to Gilbreth's studies challenges conventional historical narratives, which have read these studies primarily as examples of the individual-effacing effects of technocracy. Through an exploration of the multiple motivations that brought surgeons and Gilbreth together, the article raises new interpretive possibilities for the study of American medicine, and also of industrial work and American culture in this period.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In the early decades of the twentieth century, the pursuit of efficiency came to dominate instances of industrial and artistic production: the engineering consultants Frank and Lillian Gilbreth attempted to visualize a language of minimal waste, while Precisionist art achieved its own aesthetic of efficiency. This essay examines the Precisionist project alongside the discourses of the rationalized factory and suggests a relationship between the formal economy of Precisionism and the rhetoric of scientific management. For Precisionist art and the Gilbreths' time-motion studies, the representation of efficiency ultimately entailed the elision of artist and worker as producers of labor.

Abstract:
Human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) has a 100-year history at Purdue University. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth exerted considerable influence on the development of HF/E at Purdue during its first 50 years. Their interdisciplinary approach is evident in the programs of the School of Industrial Engineering and the Department of Psychological Sciences as well as in the many individuals in other departments who have interests in HF/E. Although there has been a shift toward cognitive ergonomics in the past 50 years, the interdisciplinary legacy of the Gilbreths continues to be relevant to research, education, and application in HF/E in the 21st century.

Abstract:
This paper describes an industrial robotics application, named Gilbreth, for autonomously picking up objects of different types from a moving conveyor belt and sorting the objects into bins according to their type. The environment, which consists of a moving conveyor belt, a break beam sensor, a 3D camera Kinect sensor, a UR10 industrial robot arm with a vacuum gripper, and different object types such as pulleys, disks, gears, and piston rods, is inspired by the NIST ARIAC competition. A first version of the Gilbreth application is implemented leveraging a number of Robot Operating System (ROS) and ROS-Industrial (ROS-I) packages. The Gazebo package is used to simulate the environment, and six external ROS nodes have been implemented to execute the required functions. Experimental measurements of CPU usage and processing times of the ROS nodes are discussed. In particular, the object recognition ROS package requires the highest processing times and offers an opportunity for designing an iterative method with the aim to fasten completion time. Its processing time is found to be on par with the time required by the robot arm to execute its movement between four poses: pick approach, pick, pick retreat and place.

Abstract:
The importance of physical activity in the classroom has been debated for decades. In this study, eleventh and twelfth grade suburban science classes were encouraged to conduct simple exercises at the beginning of class. While the overall performance, attitudes, retention of concepts and confidence of students showed no improvement, the data indicated that their in-class energy levels were more positively affected.

Abstract:
In its theoretical part, this thesis sums up the basic knowledge concerning permutations. Besides the representation of permutations and determination of their fundamental characteristics, the theoretical part is, first of all, aimed at results concerning the decomposition of permutations into disjoint cycles and at finding the number of permutations with a certain characteristic. We introduce the fundamental bijection that is useful for solving many problems concerning the permutations. Further on, we focus on the number of permutations without a fixed point, Eulerian numbers expressing the number of permutations with a given number of descents, and the number of permutations with a given number of excedances, Stirling numbers of the first kind expressing the number of permutations with a given number of cycles, and Catalan numbers representing the number of permutations avoiding a chosen pattern of length three. Attention is also paid to the Gilbreath permutations and their characteristics. The practical part consists of 14 solved problems. The solutions rely on the results presented in the theoretical part, and there are deduced some further interesting results concerning random permutations.
