It is well known, that Fréchet means on non-Euclidean spaces may exhibit nonstandard asymptotic rates depending curvature. Even for distributions featuring standard rates, there are effects, altering finite sampling up to considerable sample sizes. These effects can be measured by the variance modulation function proposed Pennec (2019). Among others, in view of statistical inference, it importa...

Nathanson and Savitsky (1952) were the first to study platelet adhesiveness in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (60 in all). Increased adhesiveness was found in the groups of patients with acute exacerbations or a fluctuating course: the average 'adhesive index' for the stationary group was within the normal range. More recently two preliminary communications were published on the sam...

The adsorption of α-pinene to solid surfaces is an important primary step during the chemical conversion of this common terpene over mesoporous materials, as well as during the formation of atmospheric aerosols. We provide evidence of tight and loose physisorbed states of α-pinene bound on amorphous SiO2 as determined by their adsorption entropy, enthalpy, and binding free energies characterize...

New Keynesian models have been criticised on the grounds that they require implausibly large price shocks to explain inflation. Bils et al. (2012) show that, while these shocks are needed to reduce the excessive inflation persistence generated by the models, they give rise to unrealistically volatile reset price inflation. This paper shows that introducing heterogeneity in price stickiness in t...

This paper analyses the importance of real wage rigidities, in particular through their interaction with price stickiness, for optimal monetary policy in a calibrated small open economy DSGE model including oil in production and consumption. Blanchard and Galí (2007a) show real rigidities to introduce a trade-off between stabilising inflation and the welfare-relevant output gap. The present pap...

How to attract players has been of interest to practitioners, online game designers and game site constructors. The objective of this research is to explore factors that effect stickiness in online game communities. This study applies social cohesion theory, social identity theory and motivational theory to propose a research model. Structural equation modeling results indicate that stickiness ...

A mixture of androsterone and clofibrate (atromid) lowers the blood cholesterol and triglycerides (Oliver, 1962). Clofibrate without androsterone (atromid-S) appears to have the same effect on the serum lipids (Oliver, 1963; Hellman et al., 1963). Atromid lowers platelet stickiness (Carson et al., 1963a, b) which is increased in patients with ischamic heart disease (McDonald and Edgill, 1957); ...

In this paper, we analyze the implications of price setting restrictions for the conduct of cyclical fiscal and monetary policy. We consider standard monetary economies that differ in the price setting restrictions imposed on the firms. We show that independently of the degree or type of price stickiness it is possible to implement the same efficient set of allocations, and that each allocation...

Industrial robots are increasingly used to perform tasks traditionally assigned humans. Using a sample of Chinese manufacturers, we examine the impact robot adoption on firm cost stickiness. We find that is associated with less sticky costs. The negative stickiness particularly meaningful for state-owned enterprises and firms higher labour costs, becomes significantly stronger after enactment C...
