The Hirsch index is a number that synthesizes a researcher’s output. It is the maximum number h such that the researcher has h papers with at least h citations each. Woeginger [Woeginger, G. J.

The luxury goods industry has many tactics to better sell and market its products the upper class. More recently, there been a shift in consumer’s interest from only rich now growing middle-class. Due recent social economic shifts, tendency buy more expensive increased. Corporations have adapted this, with examples like Supreme using limited timed drops entice consumers give illusion of scarcit...

Previous studies on luxury consumption demonstrated that men spend large sums of money on luxury brands to signal their mate value to women and, thus, increase their reproductive success. Although women also spend copious amounts of money on luxuries, research focusing on women's motives for luxury consumption is rather scarce. Relying on costly signaling and intrasexual competition theory, the...

The automotive industry can benefit from a radically different business model, one that involves less waste, higher customer loyalty, and significantly improved profits. In this report, we propose strategies luxury automobile makers can implement that can revolutionize their business. Instead of selling cars for a one-time profit, manufacturers should switch to a servicebased long-term lease bu...

We present equiconsistency results at the level of subcompact cardinals. Assuming SBHδ, a special case of the Strategic Branches Hypothesis, we prove that if δ is a Woodin cardinal and both 2(δ) and 2δ fail, then δ is subcompact in a class inner model. If in addition 2(δ) fails, we prove that δ is Π21 subcompact in a class inner model. These results are optimal, and lead to equiconsistencies. A...
