Customer service is a focus of much research attention and is linked to organizational outcomes. This thesis examines customer service behaviors toward obese versus average-weight customers. Because of the negative stereotype ...

This paper provides the customized MVA equations for an analytical model for evaluating architectural alternatives for shared-memory multiprocessors with processors that aggressively exploit instruction-level parallelism ...

We derive new cut-set bounds on the achievable rates in a general multi-terminal network with finite number of states. Multiple states are common in communication networks in the form of multiple channel and nodes' states. ...

Using perfluoropolyether as the solvent, cutting of pristine SWNT has been achieved by extensive ozonolysis with 80% carbon yield at room temperature. The intense disorder mode in the Raman spectra of ozonated SWNT indicates ...

Graphene draws a lot of attention due to its exceptional electrical, mechanical, thermal, optical and chemical properties. However, its zero bandgap is a limitation for electronics applications and its two-dimensional (2D) ...

Nitrogen oxides (NOx), including nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) play important roles in determining the photochemistry of the ambient atmosphere, controlling the production of tropospheric ozone, affecting ...
