Distribution logistics of online fashion retail business in China: A case study of VANCL
The rapid development of information technologies brings more convenience to people. Information technologies, especially the Internet, not only save time for consumers and companies but also provide them with more channels and opportunities for interaction and conducting transactions. One business revolution brought by Internet is online shopping – shopping and buying products in online stores or websites. Nowadays, online shopping has become a new consuming model for consumers both in China and around the world. This paper analyses online shopping for fashion in China and investigates the impact of online shopping on logistics industry using the case of “VANCL”
Charmless Two-body Baryonic B Decays
We study charmless two-body baryonic B decays in a diagramatic approach.
Relations on decay amplitudes are obtained. In general there are more than one
tree and more than one penguin amplitudes. The number of independent amplitudes
can be reduced in the large m_B limit. It leads to more predictive results.
Some prominent modes for experimental searches are pointed out.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.
Charmless Exclusive Baryonic B Decays
We present a systematical study of two-body and three-body charmless baryonic
B decays. Branching ratios for two-body modes are in general very small,
typically less than , except that \B(B^-\to p \bar\Delta^{--})\sim
1\times 10^{-6}. In general, due to
the large coupling constant for . For three-body modes we
focus on octet baryon final states. The leading three-dominated modes are with a branching ratio of
order for and
for . The penguin-dominated decays with strangeness
in the meson, e.g., and , have appreciable rates and the mass
spectrum peaks at low mass. The penguin-dominated modes containing a strange
baryon, e.g., , have
branching ratios of order . In contrast, the decay
rate of is smaller. We explain why some of
charmless three-body final states in which baryon-antibaryon pair production is
accompanied by a meson have a larger rate than their two-body counterparts:
either the pole diagrams for the former have an anti-triplet bottom baryon
intermediate state, which has a large coupling to the meson and the
nucleon, or they are dominated by the factorizable external -emission
process.Comment: 46 pages and 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. D. Major changes are:
(i) Calculations of two-body baryonic B decays involving a Delta resonance
are modified, and (ii) Penguin-dominated modes B-> Sigma+N(bar)+p are

The Schrodinger equation with Hulthen potential plus ring-shaped potential
We present the solutions of the Schrdinger equation with the
Hulthn potential plus ring-shape potential for states
within the framework of an exponential approximation of the centrifugal
potential.Solutions to the corresponding angular and radial equations are
obtained in terms of special functions using the conventional Nikiforov-Uvarov
method. The normalization constant for the Hulthn potential is also
computed.Comment: Typed with LateX,12 Pages, Typos correcte
Synthesis and antibacterial effects of cobalt–cellulose magnetic nanocomposites
© The Royal Society of Chemistry. Green synthesis is employed to prepare cobalt/cellulose nanocomposites with cubic (α-cobalt) cobalt as a main component with antibacterial and magnetic properties. An in situ reduction of aqueous solutions of cobalt ions on a model cellulose substrate surface using hydrogen gas affords spherical, cellulose-stabilised cobalt nanoclusters with magnetic properties and an average diameter of 7 nm that are distributed evenly over the surface of the cellulose fibres. These cobalt/cellulose nanocomposites exhibit good antibacterial action against opportunistic pathogens both Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa), with zones of inhibition up to 15 mm, thereby encouraging the deployment of these advanced materials for the treatment of wastewater or within medical dressings. This method of preparation is compared with the analogous in situ reduction of cobalt ions on a cellulose surface using sodium borohydride as reducing agent
Anomalous behavior of the Debye temperature in Fe-rich Fe-Cr alloys
Debye temperature, , of Fe-rich FeCr disordered
alloys with was determined from the temperature dependence of
the central shift of M\"ossbauer spectra recorded in the temperature range of
60 -- 300 K. Its compositional dependence shows a maximum at with
a relative increase of % compared to a pure iron. The composition at
which the effect occurs correlates well with that at which several other
quantities, e. g. the Curie temperature and the spin-wave stiffness
coefficient, , show their maxima, but the enhancement of is
significantly greater and comparable with the enhancement of the hyperfine
field (spin-density of itinerant -like electrons) in the studied system. The
results suggest that the electron-phonon interaction is important in this alloy
system
Approximate relativistic bound state solutions of the Tietz-Hua rotating oscillator for any -state
Approximate analytic solutions of the Dirac equation with Tietz-Hua (TH)
potential are obtained for arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number using the
Pekeris approximation scheme to deal with the spin-orbit coupling terms In the
presence of exact spin and pseudo-spin (pspin) symmetric limitation, the bound
state energy eigenvalues and associated two-component wave functions of the
Dirac particle moving in the field of attractive and repulsive TH potential are
obtained using the parametric generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU)
method. The cases of the Morse potential, the generalized Morse potential and
non-relativistic limits are studied.Comment: 19 pages; 7 figures; Few-Body Systems (2012) (at press
Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance, black holes and perpetuum mobile of the 2nd kind
We study the effect of spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance on black
hole thermodynamics. We consider a scenario where Lorentz symmetry breaking
manifests itself by the difference of maximal velocities attainable by
particles of different species in a preferred reference frame. The Lorentz
breaking sector is represented by the ghost condensate. We find that the
notions of black hole entropy and temperature loose their universal meaning. In
particular, the standard derivation of the Hawking radiation yields that a
black hole does emit thermal radiation in any given particle species, but with
temperature depending on the maximal attainable velocity of this species. We
demonstrate that this property implies violation of the second law of
thermodynamics, and hence, allows construction of a perpetuum mobile of the 2nd
kind. We discuss possible interpretation of these results.Comment: 13 pages; references adde
