The Value of Brand Equity
2013
Abstract This paper aims to be a brief presentation of brand equity as a provider of strategic advantages for companies that own brands. Successful management of a brand must be focused on values capitalization so that these attributes could represent a natural extension of general perception. The stated goal of any brand manager is to strengthen the brand values so that they may be easily recognizable and identifiable to the public.
Highly transitive actions of groups acting on trees
2015
We show that a group acting on a non-trivial tree with finite edge stabilizers and icc vertex stabilizers admits a faithful and highly transitive action on an infinite countable set. This result is actually true for infinite vertex stabilizers and some more general, finite of infinite, edge stabilizers that we call highly core-free. We study the notion of highly core-free subgroups and give some examples. In the case of amalgamated free products over highly core-free subgroups and HNN extensions with highly core-free base groups we obtain a genericity result for faithful and highly transitive actions. In particular, we recover the result of D. Kitroser stating that the fundamental group of …

Extensional flow of HDPE/LDPE blends
1982
Elongational viscosity data, obtained through the converging flow analysis by Cogswell, are presented for two types of HDPE/LDPE blends at various compositions and different temperatures. The results relative to the homopolymer parents compare favourably with literature data obtained also with different and more sophisticated techniques. Those relative to blends show peculiar features for the two cases: when the newtonian viscosity of the LDPE is higher all the blends show a behaviour typical of the LDPE with a maximum in η el /η0 enhanced at small percentage of HDPE; when the newtonian viscosity of the LDPE is similar to that of the HDPE there is only a gradual change in the properties.

Visualizations for Decision Support in Scenario-based Multiobjective Optimization
2021
Reproducibility artifacts for: Babooshka Shavazipour, Manuel López-Ibáñez, and Kaisa Miettinen. Visualizations for Decision Support in Scenario-based Multiobjective Optimization. Information Sciences, 2021. doi:10.1016/j.ins.2021.07.025. Abstract: We address challenges of decision problems when managers need to optimize several conflicting objectives simultaneously under uncertainty. We propose visualization tools to support the solution of such scenario-based multiobjective optimization problems. Suitable graphical visualizations are necessary to support managers in understanding, evaluating, and comparing the performances of management decisions according to all objec…
Combination of Searches for Invisible Higgs Boson Decays with the ATLAS Experiment
2019
Dark matter particles, if sufficiently light, may be produced in decays of the Higgs boson. This Letter presents a statistical combination of searches for H → invisible decays where H is produced according to the standard model via vector boson fusion, Z(ℓℓ)H, and W/Z(had)H, all performed with the ATLAS detector using 36.1 fb⁻¹ of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV at the LHC. In combination with the results at √s = 7 and 8 TeV, an exclusion limit on the H → invisible branching ratio of 0.26(0.17-0.05+0.07) at 95% confidence level is observed (expected).
Composite variety-based topological theories
2012
Motivated by the recent result of Rodabaugh on categorical redundancy of lattice-valued bitopology, the paper considers another viewpoint on the topic, based on the notion of composite variety-based topological theory. The new concept, apart from providing a variable-basis generalization of bitopology, incorporates the most important approaches to topology currently developed in the fuzzy community, bringing forward their categorically algebraic properties, which are cleared from point-set lattice-theoretic dependencies. Dwelling on different ways of interaction between composite topology and topology, e.g., embedding the former into the latter as a full bicoreflective subcategory, we final…
Generalized fuzzy topology versus non-commutative topology
2011
The paper introduces a modification of the notions of generalized fuzzy topological space of Demirci and quantal space of Mulvey and Pelletier, suitable to explore interrelations between point-set lattice-theoretic topology and non-commutative topology developed in the framework of C^*-algebras or (more recently) of quantales. As a consequence of the new approach, a generalization of the concept of topological system of Vickers arises. Moreover, the currently dominating variable-basis topological setting in the fuzzy community, due to Rodabaugh, appears to be ''fixed-basis''.
Tensor products, multiplications and Weyl’s theorem
2005
Tensor productsZ=T 1⊗T 2 and multiplicationsZ=L T 1 R T 2 do not inherit Weyl’s theorem from Weyl’s theorem forT 1 andT 2. Also, Weyl’s theorem does not transfer fromZ toZ*. We prove that ifT i,i=1, 2, has SVEP (=the single-valued extension property) at points in the complement of the Weyl spectrumσ w(Ti) ofT i, and if the operatorsT i are Kato type at the isolated points ofσ(Ti), thenZ andZ* satisfy Weyl’s theorem.
