Pecularities of nanoparticle reflection from a barrier

This work is devoted to molecular dynamics modelling of collision of nanoparticle having a small number of degrees of freedom with a structureless plain. It is established that velocity of nanoparticle after collision can exceed the initial one. The main system parameters, which determine nanoparticle behavior, are established

Consumer Control and Empowerment: A Primer

This paper introduces consumer empowerment as a promising research area. Going beyond lay wisdom that more control is always better, we outline several hypotheses concerning (a) the factors that influence the perception of empowerment, and (b) the consequences of greater control and the subjective experience of empowerment on consumer satisfaction and confidence
