This paper examines the interplay between organizational innovation and competitive superiority in the context of channel management by adopting a capabilities view. The relevance for channel marketing and management scholars is that we developed an environment-strategy-value contingency model to address the focal phenomenon. Our empirical results clearly support the key argument that manageria...

In this paper, Least Square Method (LSM) and Differential Transformation Method (DTM) are used to solve the problem of laminar nanofluid flow in a semi-porous channel in the presence of transverse magnetic field. Due to existence some shortcomings in each method, a novel and efficient method named LS-DTM is introduced which omitted those defects and has an excellent agreement with numerical sol...

In this paper, development of a semi-two- dimensional mathematical model called SDAR is introduced. The model is composed of two principal modules of hydraulics and sediment transport. The newly developed SDAR model has a number of capabilities including determination of sediment transport rate, aggradation - degradation&#10calculation, longitudinal profile and lateral cross–sectional variation...

The mixing characteristics of coolant air jets with the hot gas exiting the gas turbine combustor’s primary zone is of major importance to the combustor exit temperature profile. In the present work, a three dimensional numerical simulation on the basis of the finite volume method was developed. The aim was to investigate the penetration and mixing characteristics of directly opposed rows of co...

BACKGROUND The basis for the unique effectiveness of long-term amiodarone treatment on cardiac arrhythmias is incompletely understood. The present study investigated the pharmacogenomic profile of amiodarone on genes encoding ion-channel subunits. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult male mice were treated for 6 weeks with vehicle or oral amiodarone at 30, 90, or 180 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1). Plasma and myoc...

This study investigates the water flow characteristics on a solid surface with nanoscale compared to normal surface. The experiment uses high-speed video system and Fiber-optic Laser Doppler Velocimetry measure condition of droplet velocity distribution profile in inclined open channel, respectively. results showed that movement speed droplets was about 2 times faster than mean error each 0.6%....

Privacy-preserving profile matching, a challenging task in mobile social networks, is getting more attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that is based on ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption to tackle this problem. In our scheme, a user can submit a preference-profile and search for users with matching-profile in decentralized mobile social networks. In thi...

In this paper, we evaluate by computer simulations the throughput performance of the turbo-coded hybrid ARQ for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) with antenna diversity reception and Rake combining in a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. The effect of a range of system parameters and propagation parameters (viz., the frame length, puncturing rate, spreading facto...

In this paper, the flow of couple stress fluid is investigated in a helical screw rheometer (HSR). By unwrapping the channel, lands, and the outside rotating barrel, the geometry of HSR is approximated as a shallow infinite channel. Both oneand two-dimensional analysis of the problem is presented using rectangular coordinates. In either case an exact solution of the flow problem is presented an...
