We propose a conceptualization of boycotting and report a study of an actual boycott of a multinational firm that was prompted by factory closings. Consumers who viewed the closures as egregious were more likely to boycott the firm, though only a mino...

Week 11-12: Special Counting Sequences

The stratified Boycott effect

We present the results of an experimental investigation of the flows generated by monodisperse particles settling at low Reynolds number in a stably stratified ambient with an inclined sidewall. In this configuration, upwelling beneath the inclined wall associated with the Boycott effect is opposed by the ambient density stratification. The evolution of the system is determined by the relative ...

1 Week 11 : 4 and 6 November 2008

We now discuss the theory of fixed–order constant–step–size linear multistep methods. This classical theory is presented in [HNW93] Sect. III.1–4 (nons-tiff) and [HW96] Sect. V.1 (stiff), as well as [Gea71] Chap. 7, [Lam91] Chap. 3, [Sha94] Chap. 4, and many other sources. While multistep methods are rarely used in practice with fixed order and constant step size, this theory is useful because ...
