Most prior research on the compromise effect has focused on single rather than multiple choices. This research investigates the potential effects of purchase quantity on the compromise effect. We propose that the share of the middle option in a trinary choice set decreases as the purchase quantity increases, because people tend to employ a balance heuristic to distribute their multiple choices ...

A theory for the diffusion–controlled growth of pearlite in steels containing manganese is presented and assessed in the light of experimental data. Given the overwhelmingly rapid diffusivity that a substitutional solute has within the transformation front, the growth rate is found to be dominated by diffusion parallel to the interface with austenite as the rate controlling step. The relevant i...

Results on the problem of stabilizing a nonlinear continuous-time system by a finite number of control or measurement values are presented. The basic tool is a discontinuous version of the so-called semi-global backstepping lemma. We derive robust practical stabilizability results by quantized and ternary controllers and apply them to some significant control problems.

Prior research has shown that proximal states are important mechanisms through which distal states relate to IT usage. In particular, the influence of distal traits tied to social activity has not been incorporated into the nomological network surrounding information technology (IT) use. Addressing this literature gap, the authors develop their research model using Social Cognitive Theory and e...

This paper presents a short history of the development ternary computers ―Setun‖ and ―Setun 70‖ at Moscow State University. It explains the characteristics of their architectures and programming systems (Interpretive Programs), the production and practical usage of Setun-computers, the structured programming on two-stack ―Setun 70‖, the dialogue system of structured programming – DSSP, and the ...

We prove that the representations numbers of a ternary definite integral quadratic form defined over Fq[t], where Fq is a finite field of odd characteristic, determine its integral equivalence class when q is large enough with respect to its successive minima. Equivalently, such a quadratic form is determined up to integral isometry by its theta series.

We investigate tilings of cubiculated regions with two simply connected floors by 2×1×1 bricks. More precisely, we study the flip connected component for such tilings, and provide an algebraic invariant that “almost” characterizes the flip connected components of such regions, in a sense that we discuss in the paper. We also introduce a new local move, the trit, which, together with the flip, c...

A static scission configuration in cold ternary fission has been considered in the framework of two mean field approaches. The virial theorems has been suggested to investigate correlations in the phase space, starting from a kinetic equation. The inverse mean field method is applied to solve single-particle Schrödinger equation, instead of constrained selfconsistent Hartree–Fock equations. It ...

This chapter introduces the concept of low energy non-volatile memory devices based on mass-transport in solid electrolytes. In these devices, information is stored as a change in resistance due to the formation of a metallic filament via the reduction of metal ions in the electrolyte. To show how such elements work, basic solid state electrochemistry and ion transport is covered, along with th...
