Antiplatelet serum (APS) induced an increase in the stickiness of white cells which manifests itself in the increase in number of granulocytes rolling along or sticking to the venous endothelium. Lidocaine treatment prevented the increased stickiness of white cells and, at the same time, the microvascular haemorrhage developing after APS. It can be assumed that increased stickiness of white cel...

In a study relating platelet stickiness, plasma fibrinogen and fibrinolysis to fasting plasma lipids in patients with atherosclerosis of the lower limbs, a significant correlation has been observed between platelet stickiness and plasma phospholipid levels. The possible mechanisms are discussed. No other correlation is observed. Fasting levels of plasma fibrinogen were raised, while levels of p...

Rapid explosion of the number of online retailers as well as online customers has been observed in these past few years. Comparable growth in sellers and buyers means that Internet retailers have to understand how to make customers prefer them to the competitors and make the customers loyal to their stores. Previous structural equation modeling study of customer preference and stickiness in onl...

A wrong model can lead to a wrong conclusion. The failure to capture inflation dynamics has made the standard New Keynesian framework of monetary policy analysis prone to such a critique. In this paper, we investigate optimal monetary policy using a model that can capture the observed inflation persistence. The model, which we call the dual stickiness model, integrates sticky prices and sticky ...

Website service quality has been considered to be important to increase users’ stickiness toward website in online shopping context. However, the underlying mechanism through which website service quality can influence shopping website stickiness remains unclear. In this study, the concept of website involvement was introduced to explain why people tend to favor sticking a shopping website. Als...

In this paper, we introduce the stickiness coefficient, a summary statistic for time-course and longitudinal data, which is designed to characterize the time dynamics of such data. The stickiness coefficient provides a simple, intuitive and informative measure that captures key information contained in time-course data. Under the assumption that the data are generated by the trajectories of a s...
