Low Quality as a Signal of High Quality
نویسنده
چکیده
If a product has two dimensions of quality, one observable and one not, a firm can use observable quality as a signal of unobservable quality. The correlation between consumers’ valuation of high quality in each dimension is a key determinant of the feasibility of such signaling. A firm may use price alone as a signal, or price and quality together. Both signals tend to be used when the market is very uninformed, whereas price signaling alone tends to be used when the market is moderately informed. If high observable quality is inexpensive to provide, then it cannot signal high unobservable quality, and low observable quality is always an indication that unobservable quality is high.

Grid Impedance Estimation Using Several Short-Term Low Power Signal Injections
In this paper, a signal processing method is proposed to estimate the low and high-frequency impedances of power systems using several short-term low power signal injections for a frequency range of 0-150 kHz. This frequency range is very important, and thusso it is considered in the analysis of power quality issues of smart grids. The impedance estimation is used in many power system applicati...
متن کاملA novel method based on a combination of deep learning algorithm and fuzzy intelligent functions in order to classification of power quality disturbances in power systems
Automatic classification of power quality disturbances is the foundation to deal with power quality problem. From the traditional point of view, the identification process of power quality disturbances should be divided into three independent stages: signal analysis, feature selection and classification. However, there are some inherent defects in signal analysis and the procedure of manual fe...
متن کاملA New High Frequency Grid Impedance Estimation Technique for the Frequency Range of 2 to150 kHz
Grid impedance estimation is used in many power system applications such as grid connected renewable energy systems and power quality analysis of smart grids. The grid impedance estimation techniques based on signal injection uses Ohm’s law for the estimation. In these methods, one or several signal(s) is (are) injected to Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Then the current through and voltage of ...
متن کاملImproving the quality of ultrasound images using Bayesian estimators
Medical ultrasound imaging due to close behavior of cancer tumors to body tissues has a low contrast. This problem with synthetic aperture imaging method has been addressed. Although the synthetic aperture imaging technique solved the low-contrast problem of ultrasound images, to an acceptable limit, but the performance of these methods is not even acceptable when the signal to noise ratio (SNR...
متن کاملReducing the risk of low or high birth weight for women with low or high body mass index under the care of high quality hospital by using instrumental variable
Background and purpose: Women with low (high) pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) recently delivered infants with approximately normal or close to normal birth weights under the high quality of prenatal care. This study estimated the effect of pre-pregnancy BMI when concerns about the effects of different quality levels of prenatal care and the health status of mothers and their infants existed...

Storage conditions of oil seeds before industrial extraction might influence the quality of the crude oil. The aim of present study was to clarify the storage able potency of high and low oleic cultivars of sunflower based on oil and fatty acid changes of seeds and their viability. The seed samples of four sunflower cultivars (two high oleic and two low oleic) were stored in three different tem...
