Fictitious Inhibitory Differences: How Skewness and Slowing Distort the Estimation of Stopping

Theorizing the textual differences between authentic and fictitious reviews: Validation across positive, negative and moderate polarities

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to build a theoretical model that identifies textual cues to distinguish between authentic and fictitious reviews, and (2) to empirically validate the theoretical model by examining reviews of positive, negative as well as moderate polarities. Design/methodology/approach: Synthesizing major theories on deceptive communication, the theoretical ...

The Effects of Fictitious Customer Testimonials across Different Cultures

Publishing customer testimonials has become a popular technique to promote online businesses and establish reputation. However, the majority of the research focusing on customer testimonials as a mechanism for boosting a website’s trustworthiness has been conducted within North America. Thus, relatively little is known about how customer testimonials influence perceived deception and trust amon...

Electric Differential for an Electric Vehicle with Four Independent Driven Motors and Four Wheels Steering Ability Using Improved Fictitious Master Synchronization Strategy

Using an Electric Differential (ED) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. Despite its reported successes and advantages, the ED has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. In this paper, an electric differenti...

On convergence and inherent oscillations within computational methods employing fictitious sources

Recent studies of the method of auxiliary sources (MAS) and the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) have shown that it is possible to have convergence of the field, which is the finally desired quantity, together with divergence of the fictitious sources, which are intermediate quantities. The aforementioned studies concern a simple scattering problem, where the scattered field satisfies the ...
