New thermophysical properties of water based TiO2 nanofluid-The hysteresis phenomenon revisited
(International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2014)
Homogeneous stable suspensions acquired by dispersing dry Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles in controlled pH solution and distilled water, respectively, were prepared and investigated in this study. First of all, the mean ...
Green marketing: A conceptual framework and suggestions for industrial services marketing
(Handbook of Research on Developing Sustainable Value in Economics, Finance, and Marketing, 2014)
Due to the negative impact of globalized production and consumption on the natural environment, businesses keep facing increased pressure to eliminate their harmful processes and transform into environmentally conscious ...
A variable iterated greedy algorithm for the traveling salesman problem with time windows
(Information Sciences, 2014)
This paper presents a variable iterated greedy algorithm for solving the traveling salesman problem with time windows (TSPTW) to identify a tour minimizing the total travel cost or the makespan, separately. The TSPTW has ...
Integrating ethics into management: Why is it important?
(Handbook of Research on Developing Sustainable Value in Economics, Finance, and Marketing, 2014)
Ethics is the science of morals dealing with human morality revealed in the human character and conduct. In general, ethics shows a corporation how to behave properly in all their businesses and operations. In business, ...
Effective matter cosmologies of massive gravity: Physical fluids
(Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2014)
We derive new cosmological solutions of the ghost-free massive gravity with a general background metric in which the contribution of the mass sector to the metric one is modeled by an effective cosmological constant and ...
Broadening the concept of green marketing: Strategic corporate social responsibility
(Handbook of Research on Developing Sustainable Value in Economics, Finance, and Marketing, 2014)
This chapter investigates the concept of strategic corporate social responsibility to broaden the concept of green marketing. The guiding thesis is that social marketing has evolved throughout the decades and has led to ...
Existence of solutions to fractional differential inclusions with p-laplacian operator
(Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2014)
In this article, we are prove the existence of solutions for three-point fractional differential inclusions with p-Laplacian operator. We use fixed point theory for set valued upper semi-continuous maps for obtaining the ...
Cognitive reserve and emotional stimuli in older individuals: Level of education moderates the age-related positivity effect
(Experimental Aging Research, 2014)
Background/Study Context: A frequently observed age-related effect is a preference in older individuals for positive stimuli. The cognitive control model proposes that this positivity effect may be mediated by executive ...
Analysis of the learning curve for robotic hysterectomy for benign gynaecological disease
(International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, 2014)
Background: The objective was to evaluate the learning curve for performing a robotic hysterectomy to treat benign gynaecological disease. Methods: Thirty-six patients underwent robotic hysterectomy for benign indications. ...
A constructive aisle design model for unit-load warehouses with multiple pickup and deposit points
(European Journal of Operational Research, 2014)
We develop a network-based warehouse model of individual pallet locations and their interactions with appropriate cross aisles in order to evaluate the expected travel distance of a given design. The model is constructive ...
