Abstract:

90% of retail sales occur in physical stores. In these physical stores 40% of shoppers leave the store based on the wait time. Autonomous stores can remove customer waiting time by providing a receipt without the need for scanning the items. Prior approaches use computer vision only, combine computer vision with weight sensors, or combine computer vision with sensors and human product recognition. These approaches, in general, suffer from low accuracy, up to hour long delays for receipt generation, or do not scale to store level deployments due to computation requirements and real-world multiple shopper scenarios. We present ISACS, which combines a physical store model (e.g. customers, shelves, and item interactions), multi-human 3D pose estimation, and live inventory monitoring to provide an accurate matching of multiple people to multiple products. ISACS utilizes only shelf weight sensors and does not require visual inventory monitoring which drastically reduces the computational requirements and thus is scalable to a store-level deployment. In addition, ISACS generates an instant receipt by not requiring human intervention during receipt generation. To fully evaluate the ISACS, we deployed and evaluated our approach in an operating convenience store covering 800 square feet with 1653 distinct products, and more than 20,000 items. Over the course of 13 months of operation, ISACS achieved a receipt daily accuracy of up to 96.4%. Which translates to a 3.5x reduction in error compared to self-checkout stations.

Abstract:

Artificial photosynthesis provides a way to store solar energy in chemical bonds. Achieving water splitting without an applied external potential bias provides the key to artificial photosynthetic devices. We describe here a tandem photoelectrochemical cell design that combines a dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) and an organic solar cell (OSC) in a photoanode for water oxidation. When combined with a Pt electrode for H2evolution, the electrode becomes part of a combined electrochemical cell for water splitting, 2H2O → O2+ 2H2, by increasing the voltage of the photoanode sufficiently to drive bias-free reduction of H+to H2. The combined electrode gave a 1.5% solar conversion efficiency for water splitting with no external applied bias, providing a mimic for the tandem cell configuration of PSII in natural photosynthesis. The electrode provided sustained water splitting in the molecular photoelectrode with sustained photocurrent densities of 1.24 mA/cm2for 1 h under 1-sun illumination with no applied bias.

Abstract:

Recently, the quantity of the cold store has been increased quickly. It is a key point to improve the uniformity of airflow field to the cold store. In this paper, a model of simulating cold store by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was introduced. Simple algorithm combined with Boussineq assumption was used and turbulent equation combined with standard wall function was applied to define the flow of air in the cold store. Both the structured mesh and unstructured mesh to cold store model were simulated. The simulation methods of airflow in a cold store between three-dimension (3D) technology and two-dimension (2D) technology were also discussed. The experiment was validated and proved that unstructured grid was in better agreement with the result of experiments and it was gotten that the three-dimension (3D) technology had a higher accuracy in simulation of airflow distribution. The airflow distribution in the vertical plane and horizontal plane in cold store were gotten, respectively.

Abstract:

The flutter analysis of a wing with an external store is presented. Because of the external store, the concentrated store mass is combined into the governing equations which are obtained using the extended Hamiltons principle. Dirac function is used to precisely consider the location and properties of the external store. The k method is used to calculate the flutter velocity. The effects of store parameters such as store mass and inertia on the flutter velocity are investigated.

Abstract:

Despite challenges associated with acquiring proprietary sales data, there exists a wealth of literature using different types of data (e.g., spending, demographic, geographic) to understand or represent different drivers of retail store sales. We contribute to the spatial analysis of drivers of retail store sales by analyzing the relative influence of road networks, demographic, and suitability variables on retail store sales within the home-improvement sector. Results demonstrate that the inclusion of variables describing the road network pattern is more influential in predicting store sales than demographic and suitability variables with linear models (e.g., ordinary- and partial-least squares regression) as well as with a non-linear mathematical model derived using artificial intelligence. The analysis builds on previous research estimating consumer spending and a big-data suitability analysis for site selection that incorporates spatial interaction models, location quotient, and other unique criteria that are typically used in isolation. The overarching contribution of our results is the demonstration that network patterns can play a critical role in retail store sales, especially when regressions, analogs, and other simple methods for site selection are used.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: To explore the values of PCT and STREM-1 combined with clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) for evaluating ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in elderly patients. Methods: A total of 120 eligible patients were selected as VAP group, and 60 other patients without VAP were selected as control group. According to APACHE II scores, VAP group was divided into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. The correlations of PCT, STREM-1, and CPIS with APACHE II score were analyzed. The values of PCT and STREM-1 combined with CPIS for evaluating prognosis were analyzed using ROC curves. Results: In the VAP group, serum PCT and STREM-1 levels and CPIS after mechanical ventilation significantly exceeded those of the control group and before mechanical ventilation (P<0.05). These values were higher in the high-risk group than in medium- and low-risk groups (P<0.05). They were positively correlated with APACHE II score (P<0.001). These values of the death group were significantly higher than those of the survival group 1, 3, 5, and 7 d after treatment (P<0.05). AUC of PCT and STREM-1 combined with CPIS for assessing prognosis was 0.892 (P<0.001). Conclusions: Serum PCT and STREM-1 levels and CPIS significantly increase in elderly patients with VAP, which rise with aggravation. Their combination has higher values for prognostic evaluation.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveSmall food store interventions show promise to increase healthy food access in under-resourced areas. However, none have tested the impact of price discounts on healthy food supply and demand. We tested the impact of store-directed price discounts and communications strategies, separately and combined, on the stocking, sales and prices of healthier foods and on storeowner psychosocial factors.DesignFactorial design randomized controlled trial.SettingTwenty-four corner stores in low-income neighbourhoods of Baltimore City, MD, USA.SubjectsStores were randomized to pricing intervention, communications intervention, combined pricing and communications intervention, or control. Stores that received the pricing intervention were given a 10–30 % price discount by wholesalers on selected healthier food items during the 6-month trial. Communications stores received visual and interactive materials to promote healthy items, including signage, taste tests and refrigerators.ResultsAll interventions showed significantly increased stock of promoted foodsv. control. There was a significant treatment effect for daily unit sales of healthy snacks (β=6·4, 95 % CI 0·9, 11·9) and prices of healthy staple foods (β=–0·49, 95 % CI –0·90, –0·03) for the combined groupv. control, but not for other intervention groups. There were no significant intervention effects on storeowner psychosocial factors.ConclusionsAll interventions led to increased stock of healthier foods. The combined intervention was effective in increasing sales of healthier snacks, even though discounts on snacks were not passed to the consumer. Experimental research in small stores is needed to understand the mechanisms by which store-directed price promotions can increase healthy food supply and demand.

Full text

Abstract:

Store-operated calcium channels (SOCs) are a major pathway for calcium signaling in virtually all metozoan cells and serve a wide variety of functions ranging from gene expression, motility, and secretion to tissue and organ development and the immune response. SOCs are activated by the depletion of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), triggered physiologically through stimulation of a diverse set of surface receptors. Over 15 years after the first characterization of SOCs through electrophysiology, the identification of the STIM proteins as ER Ca2+ sensors and the Orai proteins as store-operated channels has enabled rapid progress in understanding the unique mechanism of store-operate calcium entry (SOCE). Depletion of Ca2+ from the ER causes STIM to accumulate at ER-plasma membrane (PM) junctions where it traps and activates Orai channels diffusing in the closely apposed PM. Mutagenesis studies combined with recent structural insights about STIM and Orai proteins are now beginning to reveal the molecular underpinnings of these choreographic events. This review describes the major experimental advances underlying our current understanding of how ER Ca2+ depletion is coupled to the activation of SOCs. Particular emphasis is placed on the molecular mechanisms of STIM and Orai activation, Orai channel properties, modulation of STIM and Orai function, pharmacological inhibitors of SOCE, and the functions of STIM and Orai in physiology and disease.

Abstract:

Planning commonly applied to automating Web Service composition involves two problems - (i) overlooked user needs combined with services provided by the systems themselves and outside services providing a much more flexible service model. (ii) “Speeding up” and “facilitating” services by not recording information about service providers already having served users and about planning already processed. We propose merging internal and external services to meet user needs. Internal services include system functions designed to meet user needs. External services mean Web services provided by outside service providers. We plan to combine both types of services to create planning to meet user needs. We apply case-based reasoning to store planning and related information in a case base to make planning much faster when users have similar needs.

Abstract:

Back Propagation (BP) neural network can learn and store a large number of input-output model nonlinear relationships with simple structure. Niche ant colony algorithm (NACA) combines the ant colony algorithm (ACA) with the niche technology in order to add its local search ability to ACA with preserving the intelligent search ability and robustness of ACA. To optimize predicting model establishment of the dam monitoring data, NACA and BP neural network modeling method are combined to establish a prediction model of horizontal displacement monitoring data. The traditional BP neural network prediction model is established to make a comparison with the NACA. The results show that NACA-BP neural network method can speed up the convergence rate of BP neural network and enhance local search ability and prediction accuracy.

Abstract:

Online review can help people getting more information about store or product. The potential customers tend to making decision according to it. However, driven by profit and fame, spammers post spurious reviews to mislead the customers by promoting or demoting target store. Previous studies mainly focused on the text features of the reviews. However, these studies ignore the importance of relationship between store and reviewer. This paper first proposes a novel concept of store robustness which means the degree that store resist the influence of spamming. Then which types of store the spammer prefer to choose to gain larger influence is discussed. The proposed method use store-reviewer relationship combined with deviation degree to calculate the spamicity (degree of spam) of reviews. A subset of highly suspicious reviewers is selected for evaluation by human judges. Experimental results show that the proposed method can find out the harmful store review spammer efficiently.

Abstract:

The unreasonable airflow distribution often occurs in the cold store. Some specific parameters of airflow in the cold store are difficult to obtain in the practical experiments. The unreasonable airflow causes quality decline and large energy consumption. In this paper, the airflow distributions in an empty commercial cold store and the cold store filled with products were studied by CFD and investigated using the 3D modeling method which combined SIMPLE calculation method and finite-volume method. Meshes of the fan were refined locally with the airflow near the walls was modified by applying the non-wall function. Through comparing the airflow distributions in the empty cold store and in the cold store filled with products, differences such as the lower margin velocity, the smaller width and the deviation of the main steam in the cold store filled with products were found.

Abstract:

Abstract Grocery-store switching has typically been viewed as evidence of cherry-picking behavior, with consumers switching stores to benefit from temporary promotional offers. However, research reveals that it may also result from a longer-term planning process based on stable store characteristics. Even in the absence of promotions, consumers have good reasons for shopping in multiple grocery stores. There is a link between consumer motives and the way shopping trips are organized. Some consumers visit different stores on separate shopping trips, while others visit multiple stores on combined trips depending on individual cost and benefit considerations. On the one hand, combined visits allow the consumer to save on transportation costs per trip and to purchase each product exclusively in the store where it is preferred. On the other hand, when the stores are visited on separate trips, the number of trips per store can differ and the trips to different stores can be spread over time. This allows the consumer to purchase high holding-cost categories on a more frequent basis, shifting some portion of these categories’ purchases to the less-preferred store. Depending on a store’s characteristics relative to local competitors, different competitive strategies are recommended for retailers.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to investigate how the influences of store loyalty programs on store loyalty and store relations can be mediated by the store satisfaction-love framework. Design/methodology/approach The survey data were collected from selected retail stores using stratified random sampling. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicate that the impacts of store loyalty programs on store loyalty and store relations are mediated both by store love and store satisfaction. Practical implications This study’s findings help practitioners by empirically demonstrating that the combined cognitive satisfaction of consumers with store loyalty programs and affective store love mediate the influences of loyalty programs on consumer loyalty toward the store and on the consumer–store relation. Therefore, cognitive satisfaction with loyalty programs alone cannot create strong loyalty and a customer relationship. Cognitive satisfaction with various loyalty programs must be converted into affective store love for the mediation to be significant and effective. Originality/value This research adds value to the domain of store loyalty research by empirically establishing the mediating role played by the cognitive satisfaction-affective love framework in shaping the influences of loyalty programs designed by store management on the final store loyalty and customer–store relationship.

The effect of jaloh extract combined with probiotic and chromium on the haematology profiles and ND antibody vaccine of broiler given heat stressABSTRACT. The purpose of this study is to determine the respons of chicken broiler under heat stress that given drinking water contained extract jaloh combined with probiotic and Cr mineral in the profile of haematology and antibody respons of Newcastle Disease vaccine. Twenty four of 20-day old Cobb broiler chickens were randomly assigned and devided to 6 treatment groups. Completely randomized design was used in this study. The treatments were as follows: 1) chickens under heat stress, given jaloh extract, probiotic, and chromium (P1); 2. chickens under heat stress, given jaloh extract and probiotic (P2); 3. chickens under heat stress, given jaloh extract and chromium (P3); chickens under heat stress, given jaloh extract (P4); 5. chickens under heat stress without given jaloh extract nor chromium and probiotic (P5); and 6. chickens given no heat stress and jaloh extract nor chromium and probiotic (P6). Extract jaloh dose applied is 1.000 mg/lt water, dose of probiotic is 108 cfu/lt drinking water, and chromium given in the form of chloride chromium with dose 1000 ug/lt water. Local heat stress is provided by increasing cage temperature to the range of 33.0 ± 1°C during 5 hours per day u within 15 days. Jaloh extract, probiotic, and chromium treatments in drinking water were given at 2 hour before cage temperature reaching 33 ± 1oC and were stopped being given after 1 hour, when cage temperature back to room temperature. Blood was taken before chickens were ethanuatiated. The result suggested that giving jaloh extract to combine it with probiotic, and chromium has no significant effect in hematology profile. When combined extract jaloh with chromium (Cr), has potencial capability to stimulate improvement built of antibody (as immunomodulator) on broiler chicken heat stress.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between several aspects of store flyers design (presence of a institutional slogan, type of product (national brand (NB) or store brand (SB)) featured on the cover page, the size of the flyer, number of featured NBs, type of brand (NB vs SB) on promotion, and price difference between the most expensive (NB) and the cheapest SB) and the consumer’s perceived variety of the retailer’s assortment, as a dimension of its global image.Design/methodology/approachA mixed laboratory experiment that combined a between-subjects experimental design and inter-subject conjoint analysis was conducted. A fictitious flyer from a fictitious supermarket was created that included both real NBs and fictitious SBs. In total, 12 scenarios (i.e. flyers) were tested using a sample of 406 participants.FindingsAnalysis suggests that longer flyers have the greatest influence on consumers’ perceived variety of a retailer’s assortment; a greater number of NBs in a category influenced consumers’ perceptions positively, and featuring SBs on the cover enhanced perceived variety. If a retailer features SBs on a flyer’s cover, longer flyers are recommended, and shorter flyers are recommended if NBs are featured on the cover. A retailer should promote its own brand only if the most expensive NBs are featured with SBs.Research limitations/implicationsThis study analyses a single aspect of consumers’ purchasing behaviors – variety of a retailer’s assortment. Future research should examine other variables related to consumers’ purchasing behaviors. This study uses an online context to test hypotheses, but many aspects of flyer design are physical. Future research should test current findings in offline contexts to compare results. Research should also explore moderation by consumer variables such as brand and store loyalty.Practical implicationsTo researchers, the authors offer improved understanding of how a flyer’s design affects the first stage of purchasing. To practitioners, results offer better understanding of positive returns on investment of store flyers, and to retailers, results offer a guide to creating and organizing flyers.Originality/valueThis study is first to assess how a flyer’s design influences a dimension of store image. Unlike extant research that examines store flyers using econometric models at the aggregate level, this study uses a laboratory experiment that combines a between-subjects design with conjoint analysis.

Abstract:

The DSP systems usually deal with a lot of multiplications as it is dealt with many discrete signals. The combinational circuits consume a lot of power as there are many intermediate blocks (i.e., usually full adders & and gates). The combinational circuits take more area and the delay is also more. Usually there is a tradeoff between area and delay. To make the multiplier more efficient we usually prefer memory-based multiplier. Different types of techniques are there in memory-based multipliers like the APC (anti-symmetric product coding), OMS (odd multiple storage) etc. In these techniques LUT based storage is used. The multiplied products are stored efficiently based on the technique used to store the data. To optimize the memory required we combine the APC and OMS technique for better storage and retrieval of data. In this project we show how combined technique increases the performance of multiplier. The suggested combined technique reduces the size of the LUT to one-fourth that of a standard LUT. It is demonstrated that the proposed LUT architecture for tiny input sizes can be used to execute high-precision multiplication with input operand decomposition in an efficient manner.

Abstract:

The System of selling and marketing products at the Sudirman Sport store which is still done conventionally causes the problem of lack of sales transactions obtained by the store because it only relies on buyers who come directly to the store. Meanwhile, many stores in Indonesia have implemented any system e-commerce in stores. The solution to this problem is to build a website-e-commerce application based for sales and marketing of products sold by the Sudirman Sport store and implement a marketing strategy, namely the System Recommendation Product attract buyers to buy products that have been offered by the Sudirman Sport store and combined with the a priori algorithm to get accuracy in the data processing process to help stores predict buyer interest in an item and then recommend it in order to attract buyers and increase product sales at the Sudirman sport store.

Abstract:

Purpose Despite huge investments within the modern trade arena, Vietnam remains a traditional trade retailing country. The purpose of this paper is to establish the combined effects of motivation, store attributes and demographic factors on the predictive outcome of store format choice in Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach A logistic regression model is used to determine the effect of these factors on the predictive outcome of traditional markets or supermarkets in purchasing non-food products or processed food products. Findings The dichotomy between what supermarkets and traditional markets have to offer is simple but effective. Utilitarian-motivated shoppers are more likely to shop at traditional markets. They emphasize the need to buy products quickly, find a good price, with less travel time and hence lower travel costs. Hedonistic shoppers are motivated by feelings of happiness; they shop to relieve stress and to keep up with trends. Significant difference in store choice also exists between older and higher income shoppers. Research limitations/implications Future research should examine the sociocultural dimensions of shopping at traditional stores by exploring how such shopping relates to, and is embedded in, the formation and changes of individual identity, especially in communities outside of Ho Chi Minh City where shoppers are almost entirely dependent on traditional stores. Practical implications Traditional stores have the benefit of convenient location and savings in both time and travel costs. These benefits are being eroded as supermarkets and transnational retail corporations establish new stores close to the traditional stores. Social implications Shopping at traditional markets is part of the social culture and is embedded in individuals’ identity formation, despite increasing urbanization and shoppers’ higher incomes. Originality/value This study comprehensively explores the interactions between store choice and motivation, store attributes and demographic factors, taking into account contemporary and contextually relevant factors.

Abstract:

P165 Purpose: To report our experience with the use of intracranial stents in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, atherosclerotic lesions and arterial dissections. Clinical Material and Methods: Between June 1996 and August 2000, 61 consecutive patients were selected and treated with intracranial stents. There were 37 male and 24 female patients with ages ranging from 3 to 73 years (mean age 50). Group 1 included 41 patients harboring 42 cerebral aneurysms (saccular, dissecting or fusiform). The most common presentation was subarachnoid hemorrhage in 20 patients (48.8%) and mass effect in 17 (41.4%). The most common locations were the distal VA in 10 cases (23.8%) and the cavernous ICA in 10 cases. Group 2 included 20 patients harboring atheromatose stenosis or arterial ischemic dissections. Mean stenosis varied from 70 to 95%. Results: Group 1: Of the 42 aneurysms treated with stents, 30 (71%) underwent combined endovascular stent implantation and endosaccular coil placement, in 11 cases at the same procedure, in 12 cases coiling was in a second procedure performed after stenting, and in 6 cases coiling preceded stenting. Complete occlusion was accomplished in all the cases. In 12 cases the strategy was stenting with no further coiling. Four aneurysms (33%), are completely occluded with this technique. Group 2: Nineteen (95%) were evaluated as having postoperative GOS 4–5 and improving the degree of stenosis to less than 50%. Good short–term clinical outcome (GOS 4 and 5) was achieved in 52 patients (85%). Conclusions: The technique of using a stent as a mechanical barrier to allow coil placement in the aneurysmal sac provides another treatment option for aneurysms not amenable for clipping or conventional GDC. Angioplasty and stenting of intracranial vessels keeps vessel patency and avoids recoiling of the plaque. Stenting reconstruction is a feasible and relatively safe procedure in trained hands.

Abstract:

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans offers significant experimental advantages for defining the genetic basis of diverse biological processes. Genetic and physiological analyses have demonstrated that inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)–dependent Ca2+ oscillations in intestinal epithelial cells play a central role in regulating the nematode defecation cycle, an ultradian rhythm with a periodicity of 45–50 s. Patch clamp studies combined with behavioral assays and forward and reverse genetic screening would provide a powerful approach for defining the molecular details of oscillatory Ca2+ signaling. However, electrophysiological characterization of the intestinal epithelium has not been possible because of its relative inaccessibility. We developed primary intestinal epithelial cell cultures that circumvent this problem. Intestinal cells express two highly Ca2+-selective, voltage-independent conductances. One conductance, IORCa, is constitutively active, exhibits strong outward rectification, is 60–70-fold more selective for Ca2+ than Na+, is inhibited by intracellular Mg2+ with a K1/2 of 692 μM, and is insensitive to Ca2+ store depletion. Inhibition of IORCa with high intracellular Mg2+ concentrations revealed the presence of a small amplitude conductance that was activated by passive depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. Active depletion of Ca2+ stores with IP3 or ionomycin increased the rate of current activation ∼8- and ∼22-fold compared with passive store depletion. The store-operated conductance, ISOC, exhibits strong inward rectification, and the channel is highly selective for Ca2+ over monovalent cations with a divalent cation selectivity sequence of Ca2+ > Ba2+ ≈ Sr2+. Reversal potentials for ISOC could not be detected accurately between 0 and +80 mV, suggesting that PCa/PNa of the channel may exceed 1,000:1. Lanthanum, SKF 96365, and 2-APB inhibit both IORCa and ISOC reversibly. Our studies provide the first detailed electrophysiological characterization of voltage-independent Ca2+ conductances in C. elegans and form the foundation for ongoing genetic and molecular studies aimed at identifying the genes that encode the intestinal cell channels, for defining mechanisms of channel regulation and for defining their roles in oscillatory Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract:

Sanitary sewage yields the basic and most important pollution load diverted to receiving waters during combined sewer overflow (CSO). To reduce overflow pollution loads, it is proposed to store waste water in sanitary sewage detention tanks (SST). For high efficiency those SSTs should be filled and emptied by pumps or gates, operated by control devices. Control strategies have to be worked out depending on different situations and parameters (catchment, rain and flow characteristics).

Abstract:

Quantum mechanics imposes a fundamental trade-off between the accuracy of time measurements and the size of the systems used as clocks. When the measurements of different time intervals are combined, the errors due to the finite clock size accumulate, resulting in an overall inaccuracy that grows with the complexity of the set-up. Here, we introduce a method that, in principle, eludes the accumulation of errors by coherently transferring information from a quantum clock to a quantum memory of the smallest possible size. Our method could be used to measure the total duration of a sequence of events with enhanced accuracy, and to reduce the amount of quantum communication needed to stabilize clocks in a quantum network.

Full text

Abstract:

The activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry by Ca2+ store depletion has long been hypothesized to occur via local interactions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane, but the structure involved has never been identified. Store depletion causes the ER Ca2+ sensor stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) to form puncta by accumulating in junctional ER located 10–25 nm from the plasma membrane (see Wu et al. on p. 803 of this issue). We have combined total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy and patch-clamp recording to localize STIM1 and sites of Ca2+ influx through open Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in Jurkat T cells after store depletion. CRAC channels open only in the immediate vicinity of STIM1 puncta, restricting Ca2+ entry to discrete sites comprising a small fraction of the cell surface. Orai1, an essential component of the CRAC channel, colocalizes with STIM1 after store depletion, providing a physical basis for the local activation of Ca2+ influx. These studies reveal for the first time that STIM1 and Orai1 move in a coordinated fashion to form closely apposed clusters in the ER and plasma membranes, thereby creating the elementary unit of store-operated Ca2+ entry.

Abstract:

We compared the diagnostic accuracy of conventional asynchronous teledermatology (‘store-and-forward’ [SAF]) with a combined technique, in which SAF methodology was used first, followed by a videoconference using low-cost Web cameras. The study involved 228 patients with 242 lesions. For each case, two independent teledermatologists (A and B) evaluated digital images and clinical information by the conventional SAF method and gave a single diagnosis. Then, each communicated with the patient via Web cameras and gave a single diagnosis (combined method). Finally, teledermatologist A performed a face-to-face examination of each patient and established the gold standard diagnosis. With the conventional SAF method, the diagnostic accuracy of teledermatologist A was 81%, while that for teledermatologist B was 75%. With the combined method, the corresponding values were 90% and 82% ( P<0.001 for both). There was no significant difference in the interobserver agreement between the two methods. Use of Web camera videoconferencing improved patient satisfaction with teledermatology. This method of teledermatology may be a useful alternative to the SAF method alone.

Abstract:

The authors develop an econometric model of the relationship between a household's private-label (PL) share and its behavioral store loyalty. The model includes major drivers of these two behaviors and controls for simultaneity and nonlinearity in the relationship between them. The model is estimated with a unique data set that combines complete purchase records of a panel of Dutch households with demographic and psychographic data. The authors estimate the model for two retail chains in the Netherlands—the leading service chain with a well-differentiated high-share PL and the leading value chain with a lower-share PL. They find that PL share significantly affects all three measures of behavioral loyalty in the study: share of wallet, share of items purchased, and share of shopping trips. In addition, behavioral loyalty has a significant effect on PL share. For the service chain, the authors find that both effects are in the form of an inverted U. For the value chain, the effects are positive and nonlinear, but they do not exhibit nonmonotonicity, because PL share has not yet reached high enough levels. The managerial implications of this research are important. Retailers can reap the benefits of a virtuous cycle; greater PL share increases share of wallet, and greater share of wallet increases PL share. However, this virtuous cycle operates only to a point because heavy PL buyers tend to be loyal to price savings and PLs in general, not to the PL of any particular chain.

Abstract:

Scheelite in the Godthåbsfjord area (fig. 1) was found in heavy mineral concentrates from stream sediments in 1982, and in situ scheelite was discovered in 1982 on Storø in Godthåbsfjord (Appel, 1983a). During 1983 further work was carried out on the islands of Storø and Sermitsiaq in Godthåbsfjord and on the Store Malene mountain next to Nuuk (Godthåb), as aresult of which several scheelite-bearing horizons were found (Appel, 1984). During 1985 a detailed mapping programme was carried out on Store Malene by A. A. Garde. Subsequently, exposures on Store Malene as well as the island of Simiutat south of Nuuk were investigated by ultra-violet light. A similar survey has oeen carried out by Olsen (this volume) on the island of Sermitsiaq. Thc folIowing report is mainly based on field observations combined with investigation of a few thin sections. Laboratory work has been confined to X-ray identification of scheelite in four samples from Store Malene and one sample from Simiútat.
