Expanding Distribution Channels

Predicting Shear Stress Distribution in Rectangular Channels Using Entropy Concept

This study makes use of the Tsallis entropy to predict the shear stress distribution. Given a definition of the Tsallis entropy, it is maximized by using the probability density function, which then is used to attain a novel shear stress equation. This is then employed for calculating the shear stress distribution in rectangular channels in different aspect ratios and finally, for viability, th...

Mechanism for Dynamical Stabilization of Detonation in Expanding Channels

A Study of Korean Corporations’ Strategies for Expanding into the Chinese Market: Focus on the Strategy for Distribution Channels

Many industrialized countries including Korea are expanding into Chinese market. This study reflects logical ways for Korean companies to expand successfully into Chinese market. Examining mainly focuses on Korean companies around Chinese boarder and Pohai region. The study first raises significance and purpose of the study. Then, it begins with theoretically examining channel selection process...

Fairness Ideals in Distribution Channels

Existing research suggests that concerns for fairness may significantly affect the interactions between firms in a distribution channel. We analytically and experimentally evaluate how firms make decisions in a two-stage dyadic channel, in which firms decide on investments in the first stage and then on prices in the second stage. We find that firms’ behavior differs significantly from the pred...

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: an expanding new family of ion channels.

Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels are relatively new entries in the world of ion channels. Their discovery began with the surprising finding in the mid-1980s that the cation conductance (the "light-sensitive" conductance) mediating visual transduction in retinal rod photoreceptors is directly activated by guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) (1, 2). Before then, cyclic nucleotides had...
