Referral Infomediaries And Retail Competition , Yuxin Chen, Ganesh Iyer, Paddy V Padmanabhan

Review of Marketing Science Working Papers

An important phenomenon on the Internet has been the emergence of “infomediaries” or Internet referral services such as Autobytel.com and Carpoint.com in the automobile industry, Avviva.com in real estate and Healthcareadvocates.com in medicine. These services offer consumers the opportunity to get price quotes from enrolled brick-and-mortar retailers as also information on invoice prices, reviews and specifications before they commence the shopping process. Internet referral services also direct consumer traffic to particular retailers who join them.

The view of industry analysts and practitioners is that these services are a boon to consumers who can use them to get better prices from …

The Market For Television Advertising: Model And Evidence , Robert Kieschnick , B. D. Mccullough, Steven S. Wildman

Review of Marketing Science Working Papers

We provide a model of television advertising based on an explicit characterization of an advertisement's contribution to an advertiser's profits that suggests that each program faces a downward sloping demand for its ad time. Hence Fournier and Martin's (1983) "law of one price" does not hold in our model. We study these contrasting arguments about television advertising by examining the pricing of broadcast network advertising. In conducting this empirical examination we encounter and solve a severe multicollinearity problem. We conclude that the evidence supports the advertising model presented in this paper and demonstrates segmentation between cable and broadcast viewers in …

Rural Idaho: Challenged To Change, Andrus Center For Public Policy

Research and Reports

On November 8 and 9, 2001, city, county, state, and federal officials; farmers; ranchers; reporters; environmentalists; and a wide variety of interested citizens met at Albertson College of Idaho to discuss the future of rural Idaho. They were brought together, in the words of the Andrus Center chairman, Cecil Andrus, “to focus on the challenges that we face in rural Idaho and on the solutions that just might be available to us.” Carolyn Washburn, Executive Editor of the Idaho Statesman, described the conference goal: “to find options that not only bring jobs and money but that also honor the traditions …

The Effect Of Thermal Stress On The Mating Behavior Of Three Drosophila Species, Zachary J. Patton, Robert A. Krebs

Biological, Geological, and Environmental Faculty Publications

Selection may act on the weakest link in fitness to change how a species adapts to an environmental stress. For many species, this limitation may be reproduction. After adult Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila simulans, and Drosophila mojavensis males were exposed to varying levels of thermal stress well below those that endanger life, courtship and mating frequency declined. The regression coefficients of both courtship and mating success did not differ significantly between D. melanogaster and D. simulans males. In contrast, significant differences were present between the two cosmopolitan species and D. mojavensis. Courtship frequency decreased at a much slower rate in D. …

A Study Of Muscle Activation In A Mathematical Model Of The Human Head And Neck, Janet Brelin-Fornari, A. Arabyan

Crash Safety Center Publications

A model of the human head and neck that incorporates active and passive muscles is utilized in the analysis of non-impact loading in high “g” environments. The active muscles have the capability to be activated partially and in different combinations.The model is implemented in MADYMO using lumped parameters and Hill muscles. A comparison of simulation results with experimental data, generated by the Naval Biodynamics Laboratory (NBDL) for neck flexion and rebound, shows excellent agreement for a 15g impulsive load.

Effects Of Hypoxia On Egg Capsule Conductance In Ambystoma (Class Amphibia, Order Caudata), N. E. Mills, M. Christopher Barnhart, R. D. Semlitsch

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

Aquatic amphibian eggs frequently encounter hypoxic conditions that have the potential to limit oxygen uptake and thereby slow embryonic development and hatching. Oxygen limitation might be avoided if egg capsule surface area and oxygen conductance increased in response to hypoxia. We investigated this possibility in two salamander species, Ambystoma annulatum and Ambystoma talpoideum. The effective surface area of egg capsules increased in response to hypoxia, which increased the conductance for oxygen and enhanced oxygen transport. The ability of amphibian eggs to adjust their conductance in response to oxygen availability may increase survival in hypoxic environments.

Kentucky Justice and Safety Research Bulletin

The purpose of this research bulletin is to document the scope and nature of an important dimension of the school safety movement--the degree to which schools in Kentucky are being "policed" by public police agencies. A shift toward having an active police presence in our public schools, an unprecedented and significiant development, should be examined carefully.

Abuse Assessment Screen–Disability (Aas-D): Measuring Frequency, Type, And Perpetrator Of Abuse Toward Women With Physical Disabilities, Judith Mcfarlane, Rosemary B. Hughes, Margaret A. Nosek, Janet Y. Groff, Nancy Swedlend, Patricia Dolan Mullen

Rural Institute Journal Articles

An interview questionnaire was presented to a multiethnic sample of 511 women, age 18–64 years, at public and private specialty clinics to determine the frequency, type, and perpetrator of abuse toward women with physical disabilities. The four-question Abuse Assessment Screen–Disability (AAS-D) instrument detected a 9.8% prevalence (50 of 511) of abuse during the previous 12 months. Using two standard physical and sexual assault questions, 7.8% of the women (40 of 511) reported abuse. The two disability-related questions detected an additional 2.0% of the women (10 of 511) as abused. Women defining themselves as other than black, white, or Hispanic (i.e., …
