This paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. Although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. In this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. The suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

a novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (cfd-mk) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. a numerical solution of the navier–stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (vof) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. this dynamic c...

Dynamic robustness and stability control is a requirement for self-driving of autonomous vehicle. Longitudinal control technique of autonomous vehicle is basic theory and one key complex technique which must have the reliability and precision of vehicle controller. The longitudinal control technique is one of the foundations of the safety and stability of autonomous vehicle control. In our pape...

The emergent self-organization of a neuronal network in a developing nervous system is the result of a remarkably orchestrated process involving a multitude of chemical, mechanical and electrical signals. Little is known about the dynamic behavior of a developing network (especially in a human model) primarily due to a lack of practical and non-invasive methods to measure and quantify the proce...

This paper formulates and estimates a dynamic stochastic model of smoking behavior over the life course. The standard rational addiction model is augmented with a Bayesian learning process to evaluate the importance of personalized health information in the decision to smoke cigarettes. Additionally, the model is well positioned to assess how smoking, and smoking cessation, impacts morbidity an...

Although adolescents' prosocial behavior is related to various positive outcomes, longitudinal research on its development and predictors is still sparse. This 6-wave longitudinal study investigated the development of prosocial behavior across adolescence, and examined longitudinal associations with perspective taking and empathic concern. Participants were 497 adolescents (M age t1 = 13.03 yea...

Charting the dynamic character of mother-infant interaction requires using observational systems of sequential coding in real time. A longitudinal study was designed to approach maternal sensitivity in a more complex way using sequential analysis. The study was conducted with 20 high- and 20 low-risk mothers and their infants (aged: 3, 12 and 15 months) to examine the relation among mothers' ri...

Adolescent smoking behavior in Indonesia is increasing every year. This condition dangerous threat to the sustainability of a country. study was aimed analyze determinant factors related adolescent Indonesia. The quantitative research with cross sectional design. utilized IFLS 5 data. Sample unmarried aged 15-24 years total 4,959 adolescents. Association between status parental habits, gender, ...

an aircraft wing needs to display different mechanical behavior in different directions. 1- stiffness in the spanwise (transverse to the corrugation) direction which enables the aerodynamic and inertial loads to be carried. 2- compliance in the chordwise (corrugation) direction which would allow shape changes and increases in surface area; whereas a corrugated sheet due to their special geometr...
