Cross-selling is an old and valuable technique used by salespeople to increase order size and to transform single-product buyers into multi-product ones. More recently, cross-selling has evolved into a strategy for customer relationship management. This article starts with a discussion of the benefits and pitfalls of cross-selling as a strategy for customer development within the context of CRM...

The present invention relates to a soybean-based adhesive resin including a soybean flour and a cross-linking agent. The cross-linking agent is reacted with the functional groups in the soybean flour to form an adhesive resin. The present invention also relates to a method of making a soybeanbased adhesive resin. This method involves providing an aqueous solution of soybean flour and adding a c...

The brain processes sensory and motor information in a wide range of coordinate systems, ranging from retinal coordinates in vision to body-centered coordinates in areas that control musculature. Here we focus on the coordinate system used in the motor cortex to guide actions and examine physiological and psychophysical evidence for an allocentric reference frame based on spatial coordinates. W...

Cross-border e-commerce has become an important channel for promoting international trade. Yet, the factors influencing buyer behavior in cross-border e-commerce have received relatively less research attention than in domestic e-commerce settings. In this paper we draw on the valence framework to develop and test a research model of buyer repeat purchase intentions in cross-border e-commerce. ...

Publicly available ontologies are growing in number at present. These ontologies describe entities in a domain and the relations among these entities. This thesis describes a method to automatically combine a pair of orthogonal ontologies using cross products. A geospatial ontology and a temporal ontology are combined in this work. Computing the cross product of the geospatial and the temporal ...

Cross-coupling of sinapyl p-hydroxybenzoate and sinapyl alcohol produces an 8-8-cross-coupled product that is also detected in lignifying poplar tissues, implicating sinapyl p-hydroxybenzoate as a lignin precursor.

We construct double cross biproduct and bicycle bicrossproduct Lie bialgebras from braided Lie bialgebras. The main result generalizes Majid’s matched pair of Lie algebras, Drinfeld’s quantum double, and Masuoka’s cross product Lie bialgebras. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 17B62, 18D35

A graph structure is a useful tool in solving the combinatorial problems in different areas of computer science and computational intelligence systems. A bipolar fuzzy graph structure is a generalization of a bipolar fuzzy graph. In this paper, we present several different types of operations, including composition, Cartesian product, strong product, cross product, and lexicographic product on ...
