In sales, a common promotional tactic is to supplement a required purchase (i.e., a focal product) by offering a free or discounted product (i.e., a supplementary product). The present research examines the contextual factors driving consumer evaluations of the supplementary product after the promotion has been terminated. Two experiments are used to demonstrate that consumers use multiple anch...

A mass spectrometric study of the peptidome of the neurohemal part of the corpora cardiaca of Locusta migratoria and Schistocerca gregaria shows that it contains several unknown peptides. We were able to identify the sequence of one of these peptides as pQSDLFLLSPK. This sequence is identical to the part of the Locusta insulin-related peptide (IRP) precursor that is situated between the signal ...

Members of the insulin superfamily are not restricted to vertebrates, but have also been identified in invertebrate species. In the current report, we present the characterization of Scg-insulin-related peptide (IRP), an insulin-related peptide in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria. This peptide was isolated from corpora cardiaca (CC) extracts by means of a high-performance liquid chromat...

OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability of obtaining two-dimensional cephalometric measurements using two virtual head orientations from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) models. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT scans of 12 patients (6 class II and 6 class III) were randomly selected from a pool of 159 patients. An orthodontist, a dental radiologist, and a third-year dental student independently ...

In order to be competitive companies need to take advantage of synergetic interactions between different decision areas. Two of these are related to the distribution and inventory management processes. Inventory-Routing Problems (IRPs) arise when inventory and routing decisions must be taken simultaneously, which yields a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we propose a...

Two types of decisions that directly affect the performance of a distribution system is the vehicle routing and inventory assignment. These problems have been studied separately for many years. The inventory routing problem (IRP) is integration of above mentioned distribution problems. In the other words, IRP assumes each customer maintains a local inventory of a product and consumes a certain ...

In immortalized cells of the erythroid lineage, the iron-regulatory protein (IRP) has been suggested to coregulate biosynthesis of the iron storage protein ferritin and the erythroid delta-aminolevulinate synthase (eALAS), a key enzyme in heme production. Under iron scarcity, IRP binds to an iron-responsive element (IRE) located in ferritin and eALAS mRNA leaders, causing a block of translation...
