Sticking of particles has a tremendous impact on powder-processing industries, especially for hygroscopic amorphous powders. A wide variety experimental methods been developed to measure at what combinations temperature and moisture content material becomes sticky. This review describes, each method, how so-called stickiness curves are determined. As particle velocity also plays key role, we cl...

With the advent of web 2.0, social networking sites (SNSs) have mushroomed. Gaining competitive advantage by retaining users in the SNS is an important issue for operators. By conceptualizing stickiness as the state of individuals’ prolong stay on the SNS, the aim of this study is to explore the process of formatting SNS stickiness in the context of Facebook from the perspectives of media richn...

Stickiness is the physical process of contaminated lint adhering to equipment. The degree of stickiness depends on chemical identity, quantity, and distribution of the sugars. The sugar in cotton fibers may be insect or plant derived. There are several methods for measuring cotton fibers stickiness. In this work, a colorimetric method was used for the measurements. In the method, honeydew was c...

While the importance of users’ stickiness has been recognized in marketing literature for the least 10 years, the development and empirical validation of users’ stickiness model in the LINE context from mediator of satisfaction and moderator of online habit had not been addressed. Using the commitmenttrust theory, the purpose of this study was to develop and validate such users’ stickiness on L...

This study explores how contact angle hysteresis and titling angle relate with stickiness on superhydrophobic surfaces. The result indicates that contact angle hysteresis could not be mentioned as a proper factor to evaluate the surface stickiness. By analyzing the system pinning force of droplet placed on a titled surface, we concluded that both solid fraction and surface geometric factor are ...

We accomplish two tasks to characterize aggregate price stickiness in this paper. First, we endogenize β, the fraction of the firms keeping their price unchanged following a money supply shock in the near-rationality model (Akerlof and Yellen, 1985) by introducing a distribution of price-adjustment barriers among the firms into the near-rationality model. Second, as β can be considered an indic...

We distinguish two types of stickiness in systems of two degrees of freedom (a) stickiness around an island of stability and (b) stickiness in chaos, along the unstable asymptotic curves of unstable periodic orbits. In fact there are asymptotic curves of unstable orbits near the outer boundary of an island that remain close to the island for some time, and then extend to large distances into th...

We investigate polydispersity effects on the average structure factor of colloidal suspensions of neutral particles with surface adhesion. A sticky hard sphere model alternative to Baxter’s one is considered. The choice of factorizable stickiness parameters in the potential allows a simple analytic solution, within the “mean spherical approximation”, for any number of components and arbitrary s...

Budding viruses face a trade-off: virions need to efficiently attach to and enter uninfected cells while newly generated virions need to efficiently detach from infected cells. The right balance between attachment and detachment-the right amount of stickiness-is needed for maximum fitness. Here, we design and analyse a mathematical model to study in detail the impact of attachment and detachmen...

In sticky price models with endogenous investment, virtually all monetary policy rules that set a nominal interest rate in response solely to future inflation induce real indeterminacy of equilibrium. Applying the Samuelson-Farebrother conditions, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for local real determinacy, which reveals that increasing price stickiness or letting policy respond a...
