Marketing. This is the original 1969 paper that proposed the Bass Model [2] for understanding the diffusion of new products. It has been claimed that this model is the most popular model used in marketing. It’s perhaps easier to read this retrospective written by Bass [3], or this earlier more detailed survey on the Bass Model [18]. I also mentioned the Bass-Norton model for successive generati...

Seventy-two bass (Micropterus-spp.), mostly smallmouth, were collected from three areas of the Caddo River in west Arkansas and examined for the presence of Clinostomum marginatum metacercariae. Prevalence, mean abundance, and abundance for all fish were 68%, and 4.2 ±6.5, and 30, respectively. Fish from the upstream area near the headwaters were more heavily infested than those from further do...

—Cold tolerance of striped bass Morone saxatilis, white bass M. chrysops, palmetto bass (female striped bass 3 male white bass), and sunshine bass (female white bass 3 male striped bass) were compared under controlled laboratory conditions. Two groups of each taxon were acclimated at 208C in a recirculating-water system housed in an environmental chamber and were fed either a natural or prepare...

Aquatic ecosystems around the world face serious threats from anthropogenic contaminants. Results from 8 years of field and laboratory investigations indicate that sublethal contaminant exposure is occurring in the early life stages of striped bass in the San Francisco Estuary, a population in continual decline since its initial collapse during the 1970s. Biologically significant levels of poly...

—Temperature is an environmental variable thought to influence the susceptibility of fish to infectious diseases. This study demonstrated that juvenile largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides that were experimentally infected with largemouth bass virus (LMBV; family Iridoviridae) experienced greater mortality at 308C than at 258C. Juvenile largemouth bass were exposed to equal doses of LMBV and h...

—Some, but not all, jurisdictions in North America have regulations in place designed to protect nesting male largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu from angling. The underlying assumption that brood-guarding males are particularly vulnerable to angling, however, is untested. In this study, we quantified the vulnerability of brood-guarding largemouth bass and smal...

A total of 4959 sea bass was tagged between 2000 and 2005 around the coasts of England, Wales, southern Ireland, and the Channel Isles to investigate whether movement patterns documented in 1987 have changed and to estimate the level of competition for sea bass between inshore and offshore fisheries. Most (54%) of the recaptures of adult bass (fish .40 cm) tagged inshore and made between May an...

This paper discusses a new approach for clustering musical bass-line patterns representing particular genres and its application to audio genre classification. Many musical genres are characterized not only by timbral information but also by distinct representative bass-line patterns. So far this kind of temporal features have not so effectively been utilized. In particular, modern music songs ...

We examined the cardiac responses of different fish species to anaerobic exercise at low temperatures (3 degrees C). Three species of sympatric warmwater fish with perceived differences in winter activity were used for this comparative study: the winter-quiescent largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides); the winter-active white bass (Morone chrysops); and the intermediately winter-active black c...
