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...

Normally, the cost stickiness in enterprises further reduces efficiency of asset allocation and accuracy earnings decision, thus aggravating risk taking. This paper takes Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2019 as samples empirically test impact on enterprise moderating effect long-term incentive mechanism this impact. The results show that increases corporate significantly. Manageme...

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...

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...

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...

These past few years have seen a rapid explosion of the number of online retailers as well as online buyers. Comparable growth in sellers and buyers means that Internet retailers have to understand how to make customers choose them over the competitors and make customers stick to their stores. The objective of this study was to build a model that will show what aspects affect customer preferenc...
