Do store brands aid store loyalty by enhancing store differentiation or merely draw price sensitive customers with little or no store loyalty? This paper seeks to answer the question by empirically investigating the relationship between store brand loyalty and store loyalty. First, we find a robust monotonic positive relationship between store brand loyalty and store loyalty using multiple loya...

Purpose: This research investigates role of store brands as a time and money saving heuristic in the context of an omnipresent store brand hierarchy. Drawing on the work of Tversky and Kahneman (1982) it proposes that the store brand hierarchy is characterised by many of the traits of frequently used heuristics employed by grocery shoppers. Design/methodology/approach: Based on Chaiken’s (1980)...

Exposure to highly palatable foods may increase eating in response to stress, but this behavioral response has not been examined in relation to the neighborhood food environment. This study examined whether the neighborhood food environment modified relationships between psychosocial stress and dietary behaviors. Probability-sample survey (n=460) and in-person food environment audit data were u...

OBJECTIVE Previous studies on the relationship of dietary intake to the neighbourhood food environment have focused on access to supermarkets, quantified by geographic distance or store concentration measures. However, in-store food availability may also be an important determinant, particularly for urban neighbourhoods with a greater concentration of small food stores. This study synthesises b...

In data intensive sciences like High Energy Physics, large amounts of data are typically distributed and/or replicated to several sites. Although there exist various ways to store and access this data within a Grid environment, site security policies often prohibit end user access to remote sites. These limitations are typically overcome using a proxy service that requires limited network conne...

An essential component of an intelligent agent is the ability to notice, encode, store, and utilize information about its environment. Traditional approaches to program induction have focused on evolving functional or reactive programs. This paper presents MAPMAKER, an approach to the automatic generation of agents that discover information about their environment, encode this information for l...
