As an example, an investigation was once conducted by Bell Labs into the productivity of their employees that found that ``workers with the most patents often shared lunch or breakfast with a Bell Labs electrical engineer named Harry Nyquist'' \cite{gertner2012idea}, and we presume that they also paired their food with something to drink. We can see that intellectual achievement and hydration are related even for the most prestigious research institutions. In this work, we quantify this relationship in the context of studying at the KIT library and subsequently develop a novel and broadly applicable strategy to leverage it to improve the academic performance of KIT students. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Experiment Setup} Over a period of \todo{1 week} we monitored the usage of the water dispenser on the ground floor of the KIT library. The experiment comprised two parts, a system measurement and a recording of the behaviour of participants. The system measurement consisted in determining the flow rate of the water dispenser. The behavior of the participants we chose to evaluate was their choice of hydration strategy, i.e., the tendency to press the left or right button of the water dispenser. As is always the case with measurements, care must be taken not to alter quantities by measuring them. To this end, we made sure only to take system measurements in the absence of participants and to only record data on the behaviour of participants discreetly. % \lipsum[3] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Experiment Results} \begin{filecontents*}{system.csv} 4,5 5,6 6,7 6,7 2,3 3,4 8,9 4,5 1,2 2,3 3,4 4,5 \end{filecontents*} \begin{filecontents*}{behavior.csv} 42, 34 \end{filecontents*} \begin{figure}[H] \centering \begin{tikzpicture} % Boxplot groups columns, but we want rows \pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{system.csv}\systemcsvdata \begin{axis}[ width=0.9\columnwidth, height=0.4\columnwidth, boxplot/draw direction = x, xmajorgrids, ytick = {1, 2}, yticklabels = {Left button, Right button}, xlabel = {Flowrate (\si{\milli\litre\per\second})}, ] \foreach \n in {0,1} { \addplot+[boxplot, fill, draw=black] table[x index=\n] {\systemcsvdata}; } \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \caption{\todo{Flow rate of the water dispenser depending on the button pressed.}} \label{fig:System} \end{figure} \todo{TODO: Data collection and plotting} \begin{figure}[H] \centering \begin{tikzpicture} % Boxplot groups columns, but we want rows \pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{system.csv}\systemcsvdata \begin{axis}[ width=0.9\columnwidth, height=0.4\columnwidth, boxplot/draw direction = x, xmajorgrids, ytick = {1, 2}, yticklabels = {Left button, Right button}, xlabel = {Flowrate (\si{\milli\litre\per\second})}, ] \foreach \n in {0,1} { \addplot+[boxplot, fill, draw=black] table[x index=\n] {\systemcsvdata}; } \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \caption{\todo{Distribution of the choice of hydration strategy.}} \label{fig:Behavior} \end{figure} \todo{TODO: Data collection and plotting} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Discussion} \todo{ \begin{itemize} \item Quantify relationship: Compute average time saving by using right button $\rightarrow$ translate into grade gain \item Develop novel strategy $\equiv$ Use right button \end{itemize} } \todo{ \begin{itemize} \item People using the left button slow down the entire queue behind them, not only themselves \item Possible sources of error: Limited sample size \end{itemize} } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Conclusion} \todo{ \begin{itemize} \item Reiterate discussion resuls: time and grade gain \item Further research: People seeing a long queue might decide not to fill up their bottles $\rightarrow$ they drink less $\rightarrow$ They perform worse academically \end{itemize} } % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Bibliography %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % \printbibliography \end{document}
