Chronological cues are ubiquitous in retail settings, whether they come the form of production, release, on-shelf, or purchase dates, etc. Yet, remain relatively underexplored marketing literature. Could newness that arises from these chronological lead consumers to prefer options merely because newer, above and beyond any substantive benefits conferred implied by newness? We propose find a ser...

The central question in the current research is whether the prosodic structure of the first language (L1) influences production of word stress in Dutch as a second language (DSL). In Dutch the position of word stress can be predicted on the basis of phonological and morphological rules, but there are many exceptions to these rules. In the current investigation existing Dutch words were used, va...

This paper provides a description and experimental comparison of different forecast combination techniques for the application of Revenue Management forecasting for Airlines. In order to benefit from the advantages of forecasts predicting seasonal demand using different forecast models on different aggregation levels and to reduce the risks of high noise terms on low level predictions and overg...

An index for an r.e. class of languages (by definition) is a procedure which generates a sequence of grammars defining the class. An index for an indexed family of languages (by definition) is a procedure which generates a sequence of decision procedures defining the family. Studied is the metaproblem of synthesizing from indices for r.e. classes and for indexed families of languages various ki...

The easiness at which adversarial instances can be generated in deep neural networks raises some fundamental questions on their functioning and concerns on their use in critical systems. In this paper, we draw a connection between overgeneralization and adversaries: a possible cause of adversaries lies in models designed to make decisions all over the input space, leading to inappropriate highc...

Most research on human fear conditioning and its generalization has focused on adults whereas only little is known about these processes in children. Direct comparisons between child and adult populations are needed to determine developmental risk markers of fear and anxiety. We compared 267 children and 285 adults in a differential fear conditioning paradigm and generalization test. Skin condu...

Why should you help a competitor? Why should you contribute to the public good if free riders reap the benefits of your generosity? Cooperation in a competitive world is a conundrum. Natural selection opposes the evolution of cooperation unless specific mechanisms are at work. Five such mechanisms have been proposed: direct reciprocity, indirect reciprocity, spatial selection, multilevel select...
