The rise and development of O2O e-commerce has brought new opportunities for the enterprise, and also proposed the new challenge to the traditional electronic commerce. The formation process of customer loyalty of O2O e-commerce environment is a complex psychological process. This paper will combine the characteristics of O2O e-commerce, customer's consumer psychology and consumer behavior char...

Hill stated that “An interesting open problem is to determine which common distributions (or mixtures thereof) satisfy Benford’s law . . .”. This article quantifies compliance with Benford’s law for several popular survival distributions. The traditional analysis of Benford’s law considers its applicability to datasets. This article switches the emphasis to probability distributions that obey B...

Correlations between U.S. stocks and the aggregate U.S. market are much greater for downside moves, especially for extreme downside moves, than for upside moves. We develop a new statistic for measuring, comparing, and testing asymmetries in conditional correlations. Conditional on the downside, correlations in the data differ from the conditional correlations implied by a normal distribution b...

The effect of the position of the last accented word on the projection of TRPs was investigated with two RT experiments. Subjects were asked to respond with minimal responses to prerecorded dialogs and impoverished versions of these dialogs, containing either only intonation and pause information,hummed stimuli, or no periodic component at all, whispered stimuli. The distribution of these elici...

As public intervention is a pervasive influence on food prices, this paper asks whether and how the inefficiency of state institutions matters to food prices. In the context of the wheat subsidy scheme in India, the paper models the implications of quality differences between public and private grain supply. As both are procured at similar prices, the lower quality of public grain marks the ine...

The article investigates the properties of the occupational mobility network (OMN) in 12 EU countries. Using REFLEX database we construct for each country an empirical OMN that reflects the job movements of the university graduates, during the first five years after graduation (1999 2005). The nodes are represented by the occupations coded at 3 digits according to ISCO-88 and the links are weig...

This paper presents an experiment in which we examined whether German and Australian English perceivers were able to predict imminent turn-switching in Australian English auditory-visual dialogs. Subjects were presented excerpts of one and four second duration either preceding a switch or taken from inside a turn and had to decide which condition they saw. Stimuli were either A/V, video-only or...

When a ow, discontinuous across a switching surface, points \inward" so one cannot leave, it induces a unique ow within the surface, called the sliding mode. Uniqueness of sliding modes does not obtain in general when several such surfaces intersect, and models must be reened. Following our earlier papers, we investigate the consequences of such reene-ments. We show that a natural mechanism, to...

In everyday life, we frequently alternate between performing discrete and rhythmic movements. When performing a periodic movement, two distinct movement types can be distinguished: highly harmonic vs. discrete-like. The harmonicity of the movement is used to classify it as one or the other. We asked: (1) whether the frequency at which a periodic movement is performed affects the harmonicity of ...
