The pot calling the kettle black: distancing response to ethical dissonance.

Is the pot calling the kettle black?

The Socio-Political Culture of Users

South Africa has been described as a melting pot of different cultures, adding to the rich South African heritage, boasting eleven official languages. This cultural diversity, however, poses quite a unique challenge for designers of software, especially in the design of e-commerce websites. This paper describes an experiment with the net-generation and the effects of culture on users’ perceptio...

Simulation and Modeling of Bubble Motion in an Electrolytic Bath of Soderberg Pot

In Aluminium manufacturing the Soderberg pot is widely used. The study explains about the bubble motion in cryolite liquid in a Soderberg pot anode face using comprehensive VOF multiphase model in FLUENT, under the action of gravitation. The distribution of bubbles introduced under the anodes of an aluminum reduction cell at the initial time has fixed size. 2D simulation results are reported fo...

Iwan Bos , Ronald Peeters , Erik Pot Competition versus Collusion : The Impact of Consumer Inertia

We consider a model of dynamic price competition to analyze the impact of consumer inertia on the ability of firms to sustain high prices. Three main consequences are identified: (i) maintaining high prices does not require punishment strategies when firms are sufficiently myopic, (ii) if buyers are sufficiently inert, then high prices can be sustained for all discount factors, and (iii) the ab...

Novel polyfunctionalised geohopanoids in a recent lacustrine sediment ( Priest Pot , UK )

The sediment of a highly productive lake (Priest Pot, UK) contains the biosynthesised hopanoid bacteriohopanetetrol (BHT) and a series of hopanediols and triols. These polyols represent intermediate stages in the conversion of biologically produced hopanoids to the diagenetic products, hopanes. Two of these geohopanoids, assigned as trishomohopane-32,33-diol and bishomohopane-30,31,32-triol hav...
