With the advent of technology and increased use of Internet, we have seen the growth of online shopping increasing throughout the years. This phenomenon has given rise to impulse purchasing behaviour online which is an area that has not been thoroughly studied by marketing researchers. This paper provides insights into consumers’ buying behaviours, both planned and impulse and in both tradition...

The American National Standard, ANSI S12.42-2010 (R2020), specifies how to measure the impulse peak insertion loss (IPIL) for a hearing protection device (HPD) using an acoustic test fixture (ATF) with levels of LPeak = 132, 150, and 168 dB sound pressure level (dB pSPL). fixtures described in S12.42 have ear simulators that are limited below 172 pSPL. Two GRAS 45CB ATFs (with 40BP 40BH 1/4” mi...

Impulse buying accounts for a large proportion of consumer shopping behavior in the bricks-and-mortar retail market. Online retailers also expect to profit from impulse buying. It is therefore interesting and beneficial to investigate the design elements of online stores and the sales promotion stimuli that eretailers can use to either arouse consumers’ desire or decrease their self-control to ...

OBJECTIVE We studied the prevalence and related risk factors of impulse control disorders in Chinese Parkinson's disease patients. METHOD We screened all non-demented Parkinson's disease patients attending our Parkinson's disease clinic from August 2009 to March 2010. The clinical characteristics of patients with impulse control disorders and those without were compared. RESULTS Of the 213 ...

The field radiated fit)m an impulse radiating antenna (HL4) utilizing a reflector and driver by a step-function source consists of three distinct parts. First, there is a prepulse, which looks ikc a step function, and lasts for a time equal to twice the electrical length of the feed. Following this comes the actual impulse-like waveform. Finally, there is a small tail that appears after the imp...

Localized defects in rotating mechanical parts tend to result in impulse response in vibration signal, which contain important information about system dynamics being analyzed. Thus, parameter identification of impulse response provides a potential approach for localized fault diagnosis. A method combining the Morlet wavelet and correlation filtering, named Cyclic Morlet Wavelet Correlation Fil...

Four studies examined how impulse-control beliefs--beliefs regarding one's ability to regulate visceral impulses, such as hunger, drug craving, and sexual arousal-influence the self-control process. The findings provide evidence for a restraint bias: a tendency for people to overestimate their capacity for impulse control. This biased perception of restraint had important consequences for peopl...

The double impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion and a closed-form solution of the elastic–plastic response of a structure by the “critical double impulse input” is derived. Since only the free-vibration appears under such double impulse input, the energy approach plays an important role in the derivation of the closed-form solution of a complica...

A new blind deconvolution method is proposed for recovering an unknown source signal, which is observed through two unknown channels characterized by non-minimum phase impulse response filters. Conventional methods cannot estimate the nonminimum phase parts. Our method is based on computing the eigenvector corresponding to the smallest eigenvalue of the input correlation matrix and using a cost...

Various studies have proposed factors of impulse purchase in different advertising mediums like website, mobile, traditional retail store and traditional television. However, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, none of the impulse purchase model is dedicated towards impulse purchase tendency for interactive TV (iTV) advertising. In addition, through systematic review analysis, this study...
