Impact of Information Parameters of Online Auto Dealership Website Towards Consumer Purchase Intention

Purpose: Information plays a significant role in the online business space where consumers perform information search before making the final purchase decision. Information is the source for the word of mouth marketing which becomes critical in achieving the marketing goals of the organization. The study aims to understand the role of information presented to the customers in determining the purchase intention.     Theoretical Framework: Consumers make their purchase decision in various stages and the role of information search plays a vital role in making the decision. Theory of planned behavior and theory of reasoned action are the base theories in studying consumer behavior. However the theories take into account the usage behavior  and present lesser relevance to the information presented. This study focus on the nature of the information based on the existing literature.   Methodology: The scale to measure the Purchase Intention based on the intention attributes weretaken from (Javier A. Sánchez Torres et al,2018).Data were analysed using the MS Excel and structural equation modelling is carried out using SmartPLS3. Purposive sampling was adopted and the respondents who have used at least one Online auto dealership website were considered for the study   Findings: Credibility of the information has a higher influence towards the Purchase intention among consumers. The second highest factor that influence the purchase intention of consumers is found to be the need for the information.   Research Implications: Affordable and ease of access towards internet has opened the path towards information overload through various mobile and social media applications. In this era. Online autodealership business owners have to create methods to emphasize on authenticity of the information presented in their website. The need analysis of the consumers based using the online tools and algorithms have to be improved to suggest the type of cars.   Originality/Value: The research is one among the few studies in understanding the information parameters for an online auto dealership website and it would play a vital role in designing the content and marketing campaigns

CBCT gives an accurate dimension and position of impacted canine

Freeze-thaw Resistance of an Alluvial Soil Stabilized with EcoSand and Asbestos-free Fiber Powder

Stabilization of poor soils subjected to large daily temperature variations requires careful selection of suitable stabilizer for improvement of such soils. This study investigated the freeze-thaw resistance of an alluvial soil stabilized with EcoSand and asbestos-free fiber powder (AFP). Physical and mechanical properties of the soil were determined. The soil sample was stabilized with 5 variants of equal mixtures of the EcoSand and AFP in proportions of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%, with 1% sodium silicate and 1% fly ash, by weight of the soil. UCS tests were conducted before and after three freeze-thaw cycles, while keeping the sample at 0ºC for 8 hours and later at 30ºC for 8 hours for each cycle. It was found that the 8% EcoSand + AFP with 1% sodium silicate and 1% fly ash content provided an optimized increase of the freeze-thaw resistance of the soil. The use of a mixture of EcoSand and AFP as a soil stabilizer for regions of the world experiencing large temperature variation has the potential to improve the resistance of sand to freezing and thawing

Single Axis Semi Automatic Drilling Machine with PLC Control

ABSTRACT:Under conventionally controlled drilling machine the depth controlled cannot be made possible. Due to over drilling the job gets failed. While drilling we cannot measure the drilling depth during drilling process. Hence the semiautomatic drilling machine will automatically control the depth of the job and it of safer mode. In some cases due to over drilling the work bench will gets destroyed or the tool will be damaged. Hence for these conditions our project work had been taken up to get through the new technologies. This made the drilling machine easier. This semiautomatic drilling machine is very well used in mechanical workshops and it made the work easier. It consumes less time and the finishing process will be quite easier, while compared to the conventional drilling machine

Salivary C-Reactive Protein in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Subacute Thyroiditis

C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase reactant, has been identified as a saliva-based biomarker of inflammation. The objective of the study was to estimate and compare salivary CRP levels in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Subacute thyroiditis (SAT). The study included 30 HT patients who presented with clinical features of hypothyroidism, 15 SAT patients who presented with clinical features of hyperthyroidism, and 20 healthy age- and sex-matched euthyroid controls. CRP levels in saliva were estimated using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay method with enhanced sensitivity. In HT, the mean salivary CRP levels did not differ significantly from controls. SAT patients had significantly elevated salivary CRP levels compared to HT patients and controls. The rise in salivary CRP levels in SAT patients conceivably reflects the presence of an inflammatory process. Saliva CRP levels appear to serve as inflammatory markers in SAT patients and may aid their clinical evaluation

Compatibility of mulberry silk fabric with cow nappa leather for product development

298-304The present work describes the application of silk fabric for leather garments and goods to support the leather products industry in identifying alternate raw material. The results show that the quilted silk fabric has the potential to be combined with cow nappa leather to make products with improved strength and enhanced aesthetic appeal. The major findings of this study also prove that on treatment with artificial alkaline perspiration, leather and silk-based samples behave inversely and this relation gives a clear direction to product designers and developers about the placement of leather and silk panels while making combination products. Apparently, this study helps the silk industry to attain the major share in the domestic and global market

Chemoecological studies on marine natural products: terpene chemistry from marine mollusks

Some species of nudibranchs (Mollusca) protect themselves from predatory attacks by storing defensive terpene chemicals acquired from dietary sponges (Porifera) in specialized body parts called MDFs (mantle dermal formations), often advertising their unpalatability to potential predators by means of bright coloration patterns. Consequently, the survival of these trophic specialist species is closely related to the possibility of obtaining the defensive tools from sponges that live in their immediate vicinity; therefore, it is important to determine as precisely as possible the chemical composition of nudibranch extracts prior to any ecological studies addressing issues that involve their alimentary behavior and their defensive strategies, including the significance of their color patterns. Some of our recent studies on the chemical composition of terpene extracts from nudibranchs belonging to the genera Chromodoris and Hypselodoris are summarized. We also report the development of a method to assay extracts and purified metabolites for their feeding deterrent activity against co-occurring generalist predators. In a recent chemoecological study, showing that repugnant terpene chemicals are accumulated at extremely high concentrations in exposed parts of the nudibranchs' bodies, the feeding deterrence assays were carried out on the generalist marine shrimp Palaemon elegans, very common in the Mediterranean. We have modified this assay for use with the Australian shrimp species P. serenus, and confirmed the ecological validity of the assay by analysis of extracts from species of sponges and mollusks that live in the same habitat as P. serenus. The deterrent properties of haliclonacyclamine alkaloids isolated from the sponge Haliclona sp. were demonstrated, with the alkaloid mixture demonstrating palatability deterrence at concentrations as low as 0.05 mg/mL, and complete deterrence at 0.75 mg/mL. In contrast, the diterpene thuridillin metabolites from the sacoglossan mollusk Thuridilla splendens did not deter feeding by P. serenus
