Purpose: Model's physical attractiveness plays an important role in online shopping. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationships among model type, consumer's perceived amount of information and consumer's approach behaviour. Design/methodology/approach: Construal level theory and...

For a double-well potential consisting of a truncated quartic potential and a truncated harmonic potential, the inter-well escape rates of Lévy particles are investigated numerically, and analytically for the Cauchy case, with focus on the former. The escape rate of Lévy particles from the...

This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the determinants of a firm's decision to use financial derivatives. With the development of the social environment and the passage of time, the use of derivatives increases the company's stable cash flow, thus improving the...

To further explain the biological effect mechanism of rare earth-doped mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) nanospheres, taking cerium-doped MBG (Ce/MBG) nanospheres as an example, the in vitro biological effect mechanism of Ce/MBG nanospheres was systematically studied. Cerium enters the MBG...

Rare earth (RE) elements, known as "industrial vitamins," are widely used in advanced materials to optimize their properties. In this work, RE (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu and Dy) - doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres (RE/MBG) were synthesized using the sol-gel method. It was proven for the...
