Global warming due to greenhouse effect is expected to cause major changes in climate of some regions. The change of climate is likely to have a profound effect on hydrological cycle. Evapotranspiration (ET, as the major component of hydrological cycle, will affect crop water requirement and future planning and management of water resources. This study was conducted to investigate climate chang...

Customer Relationship Management has attracted the attention of both marketing practitioners and researchers over the last decade. Despite, or maybe due to, the attention drawn to the subject, a clear agreement on what CRM is and especially how CRM should be developed remains lacking. It is now commonly understood that CRM involves technology, drives Marketing, Sales and Customer Services and i...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review state-of-art literature on adoption of CRM technology, including the CRM in multichannel environment and provide a comprehensive view of insights gained in this area of research through the bibliography. Design/methodology/approach – All together, nine databases were searched on the basis of four main descriptors which provided identification of ...

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) leverages technology to coordinate business-customer interactions with the objective of building long-term loyalty. Multilevel Secure (MLS) data models were originally developed as database models for the management of information in environments with a strict hierarchy of security levels, such as military institutions and government security agencies. Thi...

Phase I drug-combination trials are becoming commonplace in oncology. Most of the current dose-finding designs aim to quantify the toxicity probability space using certain prespecified yet complicated models. These models need to characterize not only each individual drug’s toxicity profile, but also their interaction effects, which often leads to multi-parameter models. We propose a novel Baye...

Virasoro-type symmetries and their roles in solvable models are reviewed. These symmetries are described by the two-parameter Virasoro-type algebra Virp,q by choosing the parameters p and q suitably. Based on talks presented by H.A. and J.S. at the Nankai-CRM joint meeting on the quantum deformed Virasoro algebra, Tianjin, China, August 19-24, 1996. To appear in the CRM series in mathematical p...

The carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen (CHN) contents of alanine and their uncertainties were estimated using a CHN analyzer and the certified reference material (CRM) L-alanine. The CHN contents and their uncertainties, as measured using the single-point calibration method, were 40.36 ± 0.20% for C, 7.86 ± 0.13% for H, and 15.66 ± 0.09% for N; the results obtained using the bracket calibration met...
