The vector resonance triplet with the direct coupling to the third quark generation
The effective Lagrangian with scalar and vector resonances that might result
from new strong physics beyond the SM is formulated and studied. In particular,
the scalar resonance representing the recently discovered 125-GeV boson is
complemented with the SU(2)_{L+R} triplet of hypothetical vector resonances.
Motivated by experimental and theoretical considerations, the vector resonance
is allowed to couple directly to the third quark generation only. The coupling
is chiral-dependent and the interaction of the right top quark can differ from
that of the right bottom quark. To estimate the applicability range of the
effective Lagrangian the unitarity of the gauge boson scattering amplitudes is
analyzed. The experimental fits and limits on the free parameters of the vector
resonance triplet are investigated.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures, to be published in The European Physical

The Effects of JIT on the Development of Productivity Norms
Low inventory, or just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing systems, enjoy increasing application worldwide, yet the behavioral effects of such systems remain largely unexplored. Operations Research (OR) models of low inventory systems typically make a simplifying assumption that individual worker processing times are independent random variables. This leads to predictions that low-inventory systems will exhibit production interruptions. Yet empirical results suggest that low-inventory systems do not exhibit the predicted productivity losses. This paper develops a model integrating feedback, goal-setting, group cohesiveness, task norms, and peer pressure to predict how individual behavior may adjust to alleviate production interruptions in low-inventory systems. In doing so we integrate previous research on the development of task norms. Findings suggest that low-inventory systems induce individual and group responses that cause behavioral changes that mitigate production interruptions
Developing an Integrated Model of Interactivity in the Context of Travel-Related Web Sites
This dissertation investigates relationships among interactivity as functional features, actual interaction and perception, its moderators (i.e. experience) and its consequences (i.e. attitude, trust and purchase intention) in the context of travel-related Web sites. This study is expected to contribute to the body of knowledge by clarifying the concept of interactivity in an important advertising/marketing context. An experimental design is used to explore key questions about relationships among types of interactivity, with a focus on exploring similarities and differences in Human-to-Human and Human- to-Computer interactivity, as well as moderators and consequences of the interactive experience at travel-related Web sites
