This paper investigates the effect of marketing variables and consumer personal characteristics on store brand choice over national brands in times of crisis in the French context. We developed a binary choice model to assess consumer choice of store brands in-stead of national brand products....

Orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 with decahedral structure have been prepared via hydrothermal method. The phase evolution, morphology and negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior of the decahedral Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 were investigated using XRD, SEM, TMA and high-temperature XRD. XRD and SEM analyses...
