An Object-Oriented Model for Successful Online Retail Operations in China

This paper serves to fill a void in empirical research on the business-to-consumer eCommerce in China. We propose a new model to study interactive eCommerce activities between consumers and EC managers, objects in the eCommerce process. The model breaks down the business-to-consumer eCommerce process in four phases: information, ordering, payment and delivery. The model is applied to analyze one particularly successful online retailer in China, 8848.net. Through demographic surveys and data from 8848.net, we examine 8848.net\u27s business strategy in each of the four phases. 8848.net\u27s competitive advantage comes from its initiative and superior execution in the phases of payment and delivery. On the basis of insufficient infrastructure in China, 8848.net has been able to provide its customers a complete business-to-consumer process. 8848.net has greatly influenced the basis for competition, cost levels, value chains and retail markets structures in China. This paper presents an efficient approach for analyzing business-to-customer business activities and the key factors in the strategies under current condition of China

Arkansas Wheat Cultivar Performance Tests 2013-2014

Wheat cultivar performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences. The tests provide information to companies developing cultivars and/or marketing seed within the state and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating cultivar recommendations for small-grain producers

BATSE Soft Gamma-Ray Observations of GROJ0422+32

We report results of a comprehensive study of the soft gamma-ray (30 keV to 1.7 MeV) emission of GROJ0422+32 during its first known outburst in 1992. These results were derived from the BATSE earth-occultation database with the JPL data analysis package, EBOP (Enhanced BATSE Occultation Package). Results presented here focus primarily on the long-term temporal and spectral variability of the source emission associated with the outburst. The light curves with 1-day resolution in six broad energy-bands show the high-energy flux (>200 keV) led the low-energy flux (<200 keV) by ~5 days in reaching the primary peak, but lagged the latter by ~7 days in starting the declining phase. We confirm the "secondary maximum" of the low-energy (<200 keV) flux at TJD 8970-8981, ~120 days after the first maximum. Our data show that the "secondary maximum" was also prominent in the 200-300 keV band, but became less pronounced at higher energies. During this 200-day period, the spectrum evolved from a power-law with photon index of 1.75 on TJD 8839, to a shape that can be described by a Comptonized model or an exponential power law below 300 keV, with a variable power-law tail above 300 keV. The spectrum remained roughly in this two-component shape until ~9 November (TJD 8935) and then returned to the initial power-law shape with an index of ~2 until the end of the period. The correlation of the two spectral shapes with the high and low luminosities of the soft gamma-ray emission is strongly reminiscent of that seen in Cygnus X-1. We interpret these results in terms of the Advection Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF) model with possibly a "jet-like" region that persistently produced the non-thermal power-law gamma rays observed throughout the event.Comment: 40 pages total, including 10 figures and 2 table
