Self-similar solutions for a superdiffusive heat equation with gradient nonlinearity

This paper is devoted to global well-posedness, self-similarity and symmetries of solutions for a superdiffusive heat equation with superlinear and gradient nonlinear terms with initial data in new homogeneous Besov-Morrey type spaces. Unlike the heat equation, we need to develop an appropriate decomposition of the two-parametric Mittag-Leffler function in order to obtain Mikhlin-type estimates get our well-posedness theorem. To the best of our knowledge, the present work is the first one concerned with a well-posedness theory for a time-fractional partial differential equations of order $\alpha\in(1,2)$ with non null initial velocity

Dimensions and outcomes of experience quality in tourism: The case of Port wine cellars

Ever since the notion that consumption has an experiential dimension, experience and its impact on business is receiving increased attention. Therefore, understanding experience quality, its drivers and outcomes becomes crucial, especially when experiences are the core of the service offering such as in tourism. However, research on tourism experiences remains sparse and largely conceptual. We develop a higher-order model of experience quality, validated in the wine tourism industry, outlining relevant dimensions and outcomes. Results support the six-dimensional structure of experience quality and its impact on loyalty, satisfaction and word-of-mouth. Overall, we validate a holistic multi-dimensional measure of experience quality and examine key nomological relationships, with important implications for tourism managers

Business plan of an online platform operating in the auto-repair sector: Carfix project

In Economy, it is known that information asymmetry between supply and demand leads to price unfairness. The car-service market is the best example of what happens when this asymmetry takes place. A high percentage of the car owners do not have the necessary knowledge to ensure that the budget proposed by the experts is fair and honest. It happens to each one of us - when our vehicle has a problem we go to one of these reparation service providers and they mysteriously find a bigger problem which will cost much more than expected. Even if we trust their expertise we leave with a small doubt about the veracity of the problem they identified in addition to the uncertainty about the price. The technological progress led to a huge increase in the speed the information is shared, and internet is one of the main causes for this effect. This phenomenon led me to find a solution for the identified problem in the auto-repair market. A mediating platform between car owners/insurance companies and auto-repair services’ providers. This e-service helps both sides of the bridge.

After having identified this market gap, I realized I have an option B for my professional career, entrepreneurship.Em Economia, é sabido que a assimetria de informação entre a procura e a oferta conduz à prática de preços injustos. O mercado da reparação automóvel é o melhor exemplo do que acontece quando esta assimetria tem lugar. Uma grande percentagem dos proprietários de automóveis não tem o conhecimento necessário para garantir que o orçamento proposto pelos peritos é justo e transparente. Acontece a cada um de nós – quando o nosso automóvel tem um problema, vamos a uma oficina e eles encontram, misteriosamente, um problema maior que nos vai custar mais do que inicialmente esperávamos. Mesmo que confiemos no conhecimento deles, vimo-nos embora com uma pequena dúvida relativamente à veracidade do problema e ao preço do arranjo. O progresso tecnológico resultou num grande aumento da velocidade à qual a informação é partilhada e a internet é uma das grandes causadoras deste efeito. Este fenómeno levou-me a encontrar a solução para o problema identificado no mercado de reparação automóvel. Uma plataforma de mediação entre os proprietários dos veículos / seguradoras e as oficinas reparadoras. Este serviço online ajuda os dois lados da ponte. Primeiro, através da criação de um mercado de competição perfeita virtual, através do qual os proprietários terão acesso aos melhores preços. Segundo, expondo as reparadoras a um número infinito de potenciais clientes. Após ter identificado esta lacuna do mercado, cheguei à conclusão de que tenho uma opção B para a minha carreira profissional, o empreendedorismo

Equality of symmetrized tensors and the coordinate ring of the flag variety

In this note we give a transparent proof of a result of da Cruz and Dias da Silva on the equality of symmetrized decomposable tensors. This will be done by explaining that their result follows from the fact that the coordinate ring of a flag variety is a unique factorization domain.Comment: 5 page
