ABSTRACT Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) could form via runaway merging of massive stars in a young star cluster (YMC). We combine suite numerical simulations YMC formation with semi-analytic model for dynamical friction and evolution central quasi-star, to predict how final quasi-star relic IMBH masses scale properties (and compare observations). The argue that inner density profiles at ...

Customer Relationship Management generally uses the value of customers to allocate marketing budget. But marketing interventions generally change the customer behavior, turning upside-down the customers ranking based on their initial valuations and making the budget allocation suboptimal. Rational Managers should allocate the marketing budget to maximize the expected net present value of future...
