iran home appliances producers are challenged by the many foreign competitors. these companies can employ information and communication technology for improvement of the competitiveness. so in this paper, the identification of internet marketing strategies and the consumer behavior have been analyzed by grounded theory. the research shows that, internet marketing strategy (ims) can be classifie...

Bubbles in asset prices have fascinated researchers in finance. Identify asset bubbles, by circumstances, on the stock market has been a growing number of research theoretical and empirical. On a theoretical level, it was assumed that the price dynamics reflect irrational behavior of economic agents and, therefore, should be excluded from a deal with the truly rational economic agents Burmeiste...

OBJECTIVE Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), introduced by Albert Ellis in the late 1950s, is one of the main pillars of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Existing reviews on REBT are overdue by 10 years or more. We aimed to summarize the effectiveness and efficacy of REBT since its beginnings and investigate the alleged mechanisms of change. METHOD Systematic search identified 84 articles...

E-mail prioritization involves placing all of the ‘useful’ or ‘good’ unread e-mails at the top of the inbox, and all of the bad ones at the bottom. We use two cognitive decision models—a rational model, which considers all of the available information, and a fast and frugal model that uses one reason decision making— to prioritize e-mails. Experimental results, using real data obtained by unobt...

Numerical operations on and among rational matrices are traditionally handled by direct manipulation with their scalar entries. A new numerically attractive alternative is proposed here that is based on rational matrix interpolation. The procedure begins with evaluation of rational matrices in several complex points. Then all the required operations are performed consecutively on constant matri...

We propose a new methodology for rational secret sharing leading to various instantiations (in both the two-party and multi-party settings) that are simple and efficient in terms of computation, share size, and round complexity. Our protocols do not require physical assumptions or simultaneous channels, and can even be run over asynchronous, point-to-point networks. We also propose new equilibr...
