We give several equivalent combinatorial descriptions of the space of states for the box-ball systems, and connect certain partition functions for these models with the q-weight multiplicities of the tensor product of the fundamental representations of the Lie algebra gl(n). As an application, we give an elementary proof of the special case t = 1 of the Haglund–Haiman–Loehr formula. Also, we pr...

Although the sales of the motion-picture industry in China have grown incomparably to any other country during the past decade, most research related to it has focused on discourse of the political or social contexts. Using the resource-based view, our study empirically examines the determinants that encourage the audience to pay for a movie at China’s box offices. The resource-based view posit...

Marketing research is just beginning to understand customers’ need for authenticity in marketing exchanges. While consumers seek authentic brands and consumption experience, industrial buyers appreciate authentic salespersons. However, marketing literature is silent about perceived salesperson authenticity. This paper’s aim is to make an advance in closing this research gap. Therefore, we conce...

Motivated by the rank-modulation scheme with applications to flash memory, we consider Gray codes capable of detecting a single error, also known as snake-in-the-box codes. We study two error metrics: Kendall’s τ-metric, which applies to charge-constrained errors, and the `∞-metric, which is useful in the case of limited-magnitude errors. In both cases we construct snake-in-the-box codes with r...

L (R). Wegner estimates are bounds on the average number of eigenvalues in an energy interval of finite box restrictions of these types of operators. For a certain class of models we prove a Wegner estimate which is linear in the volume of the box and the length of the considered energy interval. The single site potential of the Anderson/alloy type model does not need to have fixed sign, but it...
