description: In this paper, we study the expanding phenomena in the setting of higher dimensional matrix rings. More precisely, we obtain a sum-product estimate for large subsets and show that x+yz, x(y+z) are moderate expanders over the matrix ring, and xy + z + t is strong expander over the matrix rings. These results generalize recent results of Y.D. Karabulut, D. Koh, T. Pham, C-Y. Shen, and the second listed author.

description: In view of the uncertainty in the location selection of logistics distribution center for the fresh agricultural products, the present study established a robust model based on the maximization of principal component score taking budget cost parameters as an example. In the process of model solving, the interval form of the uncertain set was used to clarify the constraint conditions, to transform into a certain 0-1 integer linear programming model, so as to solve with the aid of LINGO software. Finally, through studying the location selection of logistics distribution center for fresh agricultural products in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, it analyzed the application of the robust model and tested the validity of the model.

description: This paper explores how social interactions among consumers shape markets. In a two-country model, consumers meet and exchange information about the quality of the goods. As information spreads, the demands evolve, affecting the prices and quantities manufactured by pro t-maximizing fi rms. We show that market prices with informational frictions reach the duopoly price with full information, at the limit. However, this convergence can take two different paths depending on the size asymmetry between countries. In particular, when countries are of very different sizes, the single market does not immediately turn into a duopoly and monopoly prices may persist for several periods. Hence, the price-reducing trade effects may take longer to appear. In view of an intense globalization process, understanding how social meetings affect market outcomes is critical for understanding the performance of international economic integration.

description: We examine the nature of the collective excitations in a strongly anisotropic system of bosons interacting via Coulomb interaction. Such a system has often been used in the past to model the effects of quantum and classical phase fluctuations on the superfluid density of underdoped cuprates. Depending on the anisotropy and the effective strength of the interaction we find four different regimes for the temperature dependence of the superfluid density. Coulomb interaction in underdoped cuprates is argued to be effectively short-ranged, and of order of unity in appropriately defined units.

description: The high mass X-ray binary pulsar 4U 1538-52 was observed between July 31 and August 7, 2003. Using these observations, we determined new orbital epochs for both circular and elliptical orbit models. The orbital epochs for both orbit solutions agreed with each other and yielded an orbital period derivative $\dot{P} / P = (0.4 \pm 1.8) \times 10^{-6}$ yr$^{-1}$. This value is consistent with the earlier measurement of $\dot{P} / P = (2.9 \pm 2.1) \times 10^{-6}$ yr$^{-1}$ at the $1 σ$ level and gives only an upper limit to the orbital period decay. Our determination of the pulse frequency showed that the source spun up at an average rate of $2.76 \times 10^{-14}$ Hz sec$^{-1}$ between 1991 and 2003.

Asymptotic correctability of Bell-diagonal quantum states and maximum tolerable bit error rates

description: The general conditions are discussed which quantum state purification protocols have to fulfill in order to be capable of purifying Bell-diagonal qubit-pair states, provided they consist of steps that map Bell-diagonal states to Bell-diagonal states and they finally apply a suitably chosen Calderbank-Shor-Steane code to the outcome of such steps. As a main result a necessary and a sufficient condition on asymptotic correctability are presented, which relate this problem to the magnitude of a characteristic exponent governing the relation between bit and phase errors under the purification steps. These conditions allow a straightforward determination of maximum tolerable bit error rates of quantum key distribution protocols whose security analysis can be reduced to the purification of Bell-diagonal states.

Sampling properties of random graphs: the degree distribution

description: We discuss two sampling schemes for selecting random subnets from a network: Random sampling and connectivity dependent sampling, and investigate how the degree distribution of a node in the network is affected by the two types of sampling. Here we derive a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees that the degree distribution of the subnet and the true network belong to the same family of probability distributions. For completely random sampling of nodes we find that this condition is fulfilled by classical random graphs; for the vast majority of networks this condition will, however, not be met. We furthermore discuss the case where the probability of sampling a node depends on the degree of a node and we find that even classical random graphs are no longer closed under this sampling regime. We conclude by relating the results to real {\it E.coli} protein interaction network data.

description: We present a simple method for applying excision boundary conditions for the relativistic Euler equations. This method depends on the use of Reconstruction-Evolution methods, a standard class of HRSC methods. We test three different reconstruction schemes, namely TVD, PPM and ENO. The method does not require that the coordinate system is adapted to the excision boundary. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method using tests containing discontinuites, static test-fluid solutions with black holes, and full dynamical collapse of a neutron star to a black hole. A modified PPM scheme is introduced because of problems arisen when matching excision with the original PPM reconstruction scheme.

description: Quantum gravity is investigated in the limit of a large number of space-time dimensions, using as an ultraviolet regularization the simplicial lattice path integral formulation. In the weak field limit the appropriate expansion parameter is determined to be $1/d$. For the case of a simplicial lattice dual to a hypercube, the critical point is found at $k_c/λ=1/d$ (with $k=1/8 πG$) separating a weak coupling from a strong coupling phase, and with $2 d^2$ degenerate zero modes at $k_c$. The strong coupling, large $G$, phase is then investigated by analyzing the general structure of the strong coupling expansion in the large $d$ limit. Dominant contributions to the curvature correlation functions are described by large closed random polygonal surfaces, for which excluded volume effects can be neglected at large $d$, and whose geometry we argue can be approximated by unconstrained random surfaces in this limit. In large dimensions the gravitational correlation length is then found to behave as $| \log (k_c - k) |^{1/2}$, implying for the universal gravitational critical exponent the value $ν=0$ at $d=\infty$.

description: A set of inverse wholesale pork primal demand models are estimated to determine the own-quantity flexibility, to ascertain seasonal price fluctuations, and to examine whether the flexibilities change in absolute magnitude over time. Results indicate that the own-quantity flexibility varied within the year. Also, it is determined that the own-quantity flexibility increased in magnitude (absolute value) over time for some of the primal cuts evaluated. However, for Hams the price flexibility became positive after early 1998. An increase in cold storage stocks of Hams may have led to the positive own-quantity flexibility and cold storage stocks may have been used to offset the potential Ham price decline of 1998.

Their entanglement is evaluated using the Groverian measure. It is found that the entanglement is generated during the pre-processing stage of the algorithm and remains nearly constant during the quantum Fourier transform stage. The entanglement is found to be correlated with the speedup achieved by the quantum algorithm compared to classical algorithms.

description: The contribution of virtual s-channel Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons to high energy scattering of the SM fields in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model with two branes is studied. The small curvature option of the RS model is considered in which the KK gravitons are narrow low-mass spin-2 resonances. The analytical tree-level expression for a process-independent gravity part of the scattering amplitude is derived, accounting for nonzero graviton widths. It is shown that one cannot get a correct result, if a series of graviton resonances is replaced by a continuous mass distribution, in spite of the small graviton mass splitting. Such a replacement appeared to be justified only in the trans-Planckian energy region.

description: We examine empirically the relationship between happiness and the ethical decisions of individuals. We use data from the 1995-97 wave of the World Values Survey (WVS) to test the hypothesis that the relationship between happiness and ethics is bicausal in the sense that personal ethics affects one's happiness while happiness also affects ethical preferences and proclivities. We find that happiness increases in ethical proclivities and that greater happiness results in improved ethical judgments, after correcting for bicausality and controlling for income and other factors.

description: We study ultrafast x-ray diffraction on the charge density wave (CDW) of SmTe$_3$ using an x-ray free electron laser. The CDW peaks show that photoexcitation with near-infrared pump centered at 800 nm generates domain walls of the order parameter propagating perpendicular to the sample surface. These domain walls break the CDW long range order and suppress the diffraction intensity of the CDW for times much longer than the $\sim 1$~ps recovery of the local electronic gap. We reconstruct the spatial and temporal dependence of the order parameter using a simple Ginzburg-Landau model and find good agreement between the experimental and model fluence dependences. Based on the model we find that at long times, depending on the pump fluence, multiple domain walls remain at distances of few nm from the surface.
An inhomogeneous alternative to dark energy?

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recently, there have been suggestions that the apparent accelerated expansion of the universe is not caused by repulsive gravitation due to dark energy, but is rather a result of inhomogeneities in the distribution of matter. In this work, we investigate the behaviour of a dust dominated inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi universe model, and confront it with various astrophysical observations. We find that such a model can easily explain the observed luminosity distance-redshift relation of supernovae without the need for dark energy, when the inhomogeneity is in the form of an underdense bubble centered near the observer. With the additional assumption that the universe outside the bubble is approximately described by a homogeneous Einstein-de Sitter model, we find that the position of the first CMB peak can be made to match the WMAP observations. Whether or not it is possible to reproduce the entire CMB angular power spectrum in an inhomogeneous model without dark energy, is still an open question.

description: Increased use of alternative fuels and low commodity prices have contributed to the recent expansion of the ethanol industry. As with any competitive industry, there exists some level of output price risk in the form of volatility. Yet, no actively traded ethanol futures market exists to transfer output price risk to. This study reports estimated minimum variance cross-hedge ratios between Michigan spot cash ethanol and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) unleaded gasoline futures for 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, and 24-week hedging periods. The research yields two results. First, the appropriate quantity of ethanol to hedge with one 42,000 NYMEX unleaded gasoline futures contract for each respective hedging period is realized. Second, the magnitude of the quantities of ethanol required to implement an effective minimum variance cross-hedge ratio is recognized as a possible deterrent to ethanol buyers and sellers from entering into a cross-hedge.
Unusual modes and photonic gaps in a Vicsek waveguide network

description: We propose a simple model of a waveguide network designed following the growth rule of a Vicsek fractal. We show, within the framework of real space renormalization group (RSRG) method, that such a design may lead to the appearance of unusual electromagnetic modes. Such modes exhibit an extended character in RSRG sense. However, they lead to a power law decay in the end-to-end transmission of light across such a network model as the size of the network increases. This, to our mind, may lead to an observation of power law localization of light in a fractal waveguide network. The general occurence of photonic band gaps and their change as a function of the parameters of the system are also discussed.

description: Interviews with Missouri corn and soybean farmers reveal what farmers feel are the most important ethical challenges in agriculture. In contrast to the literature, which characterizes ethical challenges in term of philosophical debates about soil conservation, the use of pesticides and genetically modified seeds, or the treatment of animals, for instance, this research finds that farmers perceive ethical challenges in behavioral terms. The reason is rooted in the industrialization of agricultural production, which creates tensions for farmers between doing what they believe to be right and doing what they feel they must in order to survive.

description: Photolumineszenz-Techniken spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Charakterisierung verschiedener funktionaler Fluorophore in den Lebens- und Materialwissenschaften, in der Biologie und bis hin zu den Quantentechnologien. Ein entscheidender und wichtiger Parameter für den Vergleich von Fluorophoren ist die Quanteneffizienz, die ein direktes Maß für die Umwandlungseffizienz von absorbierten Photonen in emittierte Photonen darstellt. Diese Größe charakterisiert die Nutzbarkeit von Emittern für Anwendungen in optischen Geräten, Einzelphotonenquellen und im biomedizinischen Bereich. Mehrere Techniken wie optische und photothermische Methoden werden verwendet, um die photolumineszente Quanteneffizienz zu messen, und so die Eignung von Fluorophoren für verschiedene Anwendungen zu bewerten. Quanteneffizienz-Messungen können jedoch eine Herausforderung für hochverdünnte Fluorophore sein, die in dünne Schichten eingebettet sind. Die in dieser Arbeit beschriebene Forschung überwindet die Herausforderungen der Quanteneffizienzmessung durch eine Modifikation der Wechselwirkung zwischen Licht und Umgebung.
description: Photoluminescence techniques play an important role for characterization of various functional fluorophores in the life and material sciences from biology to quantum technologies. A crucial and key parameter for comparing the performance of fluorophores is the photoluminescence quantum efficiency or quantum yield, which presents a direct measure of conversion efficiency of absorbed photons into emitted photons. This quantity characterizes the performance of emitters for applications in optical devices as single photon sources and in the biomedical sector. Several techniques such as optical and photothermal methods are used to measure the photoluminescence quantum efficiency of emitters in various environments and aggregation states. Quantum efficiency measurements can be challenging for fluorophores in solid matrix, in scattering systems and for highly diluted fluorophores embedded to thin films. The research described in this thesis overcomes these challenges by performing quantum efficiency measurement via modifying the spontaneous emission as a fundamental process of light-matter interaction.

description: Supersymmetric gauge theories, in higher dimensions compactified in an orbifold, give a natural framework to unify the gauge bosons, Higgs fields and even the matter fields in a single multiplet of the unifying gauge symmetry. The extra dimensions and the supersymmetry are the two key ingredients for such an unification. In this work, we investigate various scenarios for the unification of the three gauge couplings, and the Yukawa couplings in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), as well as the trilinear Higgs couplings λand κof the Non-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). We present an SU(8) model in six dimensions with N=2 supersymmetry, compactified in a T^2/Z_6 orbifold which unifies the three gauge couplings with λand κof NMSSM. Then, we present an SU(9) model in 6D, which, in addition, includes partial unification of Yukawa couplings, either for the up-type (top quark and Dirac tau-neutrino) or down-type (bottom quark and tau lepton). We also study the phenomenological implications of these various unification scenarios using the appropriate renormalization group equations, and show that such unification works very well with the measured low energy values of the couplings. The predicted upper bounds for the lightest neutral Higgs boson mass in our model is higher than those in MSSM, but lower that those in the general NMSSM (where the couplings λand κare arbitrary). Some of the predictions of our models can be tested in the upcoming Large Hadron Collider.

description: Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) is a powerful spectroscopical method for investigating chiral properties at the molecular level. ECD calculations with the commonly used linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) framework can be prohibitively costly for large systems. To alleviate this problem, we present here an ECD implementation for the projector augmented-wave method in the real-time-propagation TDDFT (RT-TDDFT) framework in the open-source GPAW code. Our implementation supports both local atomic basis set and real-space finite-difference representations of wave functions. We benchmark our implementation against an existing LR-TDDFT implementation in GPAW for small chiral molecules. We then demonstrate the efficiency of our local atomic basis set implementation for a large hybrid nanocluster.

description: This research provides an overview of the development of the Tokyo Grain Exchange non-GMO soybean contract as an identity preserved futures contract. The development of this contract is unique, relative to the development of other new futures contracts, in that a mature conventional soybean futures contract exists. Particular attention is given to necessary conditions for development of a new futures contract. In evaluating these conditions it was determined that since inception of the Tokyo Grain Exchange non-GMO soybean futures contract, the contract functions like a mature futures contract. This is unique in comparison to results of other studies evaluating the development of futures contracts. Furthermore, the lack of a well defined and liquid cash non-GMO soybean market does not appear to hamper the development of the non-GMO futures contract.
Cortical consequences of elevated intraocular pressure in a primate model of glaucoma
Creators: name: Lam, Dawn Yuen Sic
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Glaucoma is a disease which affects the optic nerve. Its effects lead to debilitating visual deficits and there are no known cures. The primate model of glaucoma was developed so that investigators can study this disease. Research in glaucoma has examined the disease at the level of the eye and at the level of the lateral geniculate nucleus; however, few have looked at the consequence of this disease at the level of the visual cortex. This study looks at the effects of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) over a period of seven months by examining the density of metabolic activity markers and neurochemical markers in primary visual cortex. Elevated IOP was induced by unilaterally lasering the trabecular meshwork of primates. Elevated IOP was monitored periodically over a period of two to seven months before the animals were sacrificed and the cortex processed histochemically for cytochrome oxidase (CO) and immunohistochemically for growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), synaptophysin (SYN), γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAa receptor) and calcium-dependent protein kinase II α (CAMKIIα). CO density was found to be lower in deprived eye columns than in non-deprived eye columns suggesting that there was a decrease in metabolic activity in the eye subjected to elevated IOP. GAP-43, SYN and GABAa receptor densities were found to be greater in non-deprived eye columns than in deprived eye columns. In contrast, CAMKIIα protein densities were found to be greater in deprived eye columns than in non-deprived eye columns. When comparing the optical densities in the visual cortex of experimental animals to normal animals, the protein densities of GAP-43 and SYN were found to be higher in the experimental animals than in the normal animals. The protein densities of GABAa receptor and CAMKIIα were found to be lower in experimental animals than in normal animals. Our results suggest that elevated IOP caused cortical changes as early as two months post-elevated IOP. These changes continued through to seven months post-elevated IOP.

description: The paper analyzes the problem of asymmetric information between buyers and sellers in cattle auctions. An illustration is made regarding the vaccinations that the animals receive. Buyers do not know and cannot verify if sellers have vaccinated their animals forcing them to consider revaccination. Revaccination is only a part of the broader problem of information asymmetry that includes other quality issues and costs that can be saved, thereby increasing the welfare of both buyers and sellers. Structural characteristics of ranching, traditions and consumers' preferences are taken into account and a wider approach is attempted to explain the persistence of the problem in light of potential institutional solutions. We argue for a comprehensive empirical study of the incidence and impacts of buyer revaccination.

description: Topological photonics provides a new paradigm in studying cavity quantum electrodynamics with robustness to disorder. In this work, we demonstrate the coupling between single quantum dots and the second-order topological corner state. Based on the second-order topological corner state, a topological photonic crystal cavity is designed and fabricated into GaAs slabs with quantum dots embedded. The coexistence of corner state and edge state with high quality factor close to 2000 is observed. The enhancement of photoluminescence intensity and emission rate are both observed when the quantum dot is on resonance with the corner state. This result enables the application of topology into cavity quantum electrodynamics, offering an approach to topological devices for quantum information processing.

description: We consider current-current correlators in 4d $\N =1$ SCFTs, and also 3d $\N =2$ SCFTs, in connection with AdS/CFT geometry. The superconformal $U(1)_R$ symmetry of the SCFT has the distinguishing property that, among all possibilities, it minimizes the coefficient, $τ_{RR}$ of its two-point function. We show that the geometric Z-minimization condition of Martelli, Sparks, and Yau precisely implements $τ_{RR}$ minimization. This gives a physical proof that Z-minimization in geometry indeed correctly determines the superconformal R-charges of the field theory dual. We further discuss and compare current two point functions in field theory and AdS/CFT and the geometry of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. Our analysis gives new quantitative checks of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: Because of risk aversion, any sensible investment valuation system should value less projects that contribute more to the aggregate risk, i.e., that have a larger income elasticity of net benefits. In theory, this is done by adjusting discount rates to consumption betas. But in reality, for various reasons (Arrow-Lind and WACC fallacies, market failures), most public and private institutions and people use a discount rate that is rather insensitive to the risk profile of their investment projects. I show in this paper that the economic consequences of the implied misallocation of capital are dire. To do this, I calibrate a Lucas model in which the investment opportunity set contains a myriad of projects with different expected returns and risk profiles. The welfare loss of using a single discount rate is equivalent to a permanent reduction in consumption that lies somewhere between 15% and 45%, depending upon which familiar discounting system is used. Economists should devote more energy to support a reform of public discounting systems in favor of what has been advocated by the normative interpretation of modern asset pricing theories over the last four decades.
Oral Rabies Vaccine Opportunity and Challenges

description: Oral rabies vaccine (ORV) mostly used for wildlife, which causes barely human deaths but wild animals are responsible for transmitting rabies to dog. For getting rid of rabies from dog, we can use ORV as additional tool with parenteral vaccination. ORV have some advantages (No need to restrain the animal, elicit mucosal immune response, less laborious) over conventional vaccine, which we can explore to eliminate rabies caused by dog population. Modified live and vector-based vaccines are used for ORV purpose. The world is leading progressively toward zero human dog-mediated rabies fatalities by 2030 in which India plays a crucial role because India is responsible for almost one third of the rabies deaths. ORV can play a pivotal role in achieving it.

description: A sequential of concepts developed in last decade has enabled a resolution to multiple anomalies of water ice and its low-dimensionality, particularly. Developed concepts include the coupled hydrogen bond oscillator pair, segmental specific heat, three-body coupling potentials, quasisolidity, and supersolidity. Resolved anomalies include ice buoyancy, ice slipperiness, water skin toughness, supercooling and superheating at the nanoscale, etc. Evidence shows consistently that molecular undercoordination shortens the HO bond and stiffens its phonon while undercoordination does the OH nonbond contrastingly associated with strong lone pair polarization, which endows the low-dimensional water ice with supersolidity. The supersolid phase is hydrophobic, less dense, viscoelastic, thermally more diffusive and stable, having longer electron and phonon lifetime. The equal number of lone pairs and protons reserves the configuration and orientation of the coupled hydrogen bond bonds and restricts molecular rotation and proton hopping, which entitles water the simplest, ordered, tetrahedrally-coordinated, fluctuating molecular crystal covered with a supersolid skin. The hydrogen bond segmental cooperativity and specific-heat disparity form the soul dictating the extraordinary adaptivity, reactivity, recoverability, sensitivity of water ice when subjecting to physical perturbation. It is recommended that the premise of hydrogen bonding and electronic dynamics would deepen the insight into the core physics and chemistry of water ice.

Nonlocality effects on spin-one pairing patterns in two-flavor color superconducting quark matter and compact stars applications

description: We study the influence of nonlocality in the interaction on two spin one pairing patterns of two-flavor quark matter: the anisotropic blue color paring besides the usual two color superconducting matter (2SCb), in which red and green colors are paired, and the color spin locking phase (CSL). The effect of nonlocality on the gaps is rather large and the pairings exhibit a strong dependence on the form factor of the interaction, especially in the low density region. The application of these small spin-one condensates for compact stars is analyzed: the early onset of quark matter in the nonlocal models may help to stabilize hybrid star configurations. While the anisotropic blue quark pairing does not survive a big asymmetry in flavor space as imposed by the charge neutrality condition, the CSL phase as a flavor independent pairing can be realized as neutral matter in compact star cores. However, smooth form factors and the missmatch between the flavor chemical potential in neutral matter make the effective gaps of the order of magnitude $\simeq 10$ keV, and a more systematic analysis is needed to decide whether such small gaps could be consistent with the cooling phenomenology.

description: Isoginkgetin (ISO), a natural biflavonoid, exhibited cytotoxic activity against several types of cancer cells. However, its effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and mechanism remain unclear. Here, we revealed that ISO effectively inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro. LC3-II expression and autophagosomes were increased under ISO treatment. In addition, ISO-induced cell death was attenuated by treatment with chloroquine or knockdown of autophagy-related genes (ATG5 or ULK1). ISO significantly suppressed SLC2A1/GLUT1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1) expression and glucose uptake, leading to activation of the AMPK-ULK1 axis in HepG2 cells. Overexpression of SLC2A1/GLUT1 abrogated ISO-induced autophagy. Combining molecular docking with thermal shift analysis, we confirmed that ISO directly bound to the N terminus of CDK6 (cyclin-dependent kinase 6) and promoted its degradation. Overexpression of CDK6 abrogated ISO-induced inhibition of SLC2A1/GLUT1 transcription and induction of autophagy. Furthermore, ISO treatment significantly decreased the H3K27ac, H4K8ac and H3K4me1 levels on the SLC2A1/GLUT1 enhancer in HepG2 cells. Finally, ISO suppressed the hepatocarcinogenesis in the HepG2 xenograft mice and the diethylnitrosamine+carbon tetrachloride (DEN+CCl4)-induced primary HCC mice and we confirmed SLC2A1/GLUT1 and CDK6 as promising oncogenes in HCC by analysis of TCGA data and human HCC tissues. Our results provide a new molecular mechanism by which ISO treatment or CDK6 deletion promotes autophagy; that is, ISO targeting the N terminus of CDK6 for degradation inhibits the expression of SLC2A1/GLUT1 by decreasing the enhancer activity of SLC2A1/GLUT1, resulting in decreased glucose levels and inducing the AMPK-ULK1 pathway.

description: Direct Product Profit (DPP) is a decision making tool that helps the food merchandiser by providing a better indication of the profitability of products on the supermarket shelves. Direct Product Profit allocates Direct Product Costs (DPC) to individual products. These DPCs are subtracted from gross margin to derive DPP. This paper reports on the use of DPP in the syrup product section of a chain of supermarkets. Implications for managerial action are also discussed.
