Asymmetries in the effects of drivers of brand loyalty between early and late adopters and across technology generations by Lam, Shun Yin, Shankar, Venkatesh

“…We test these hypotheses using structural equation modeling on a unique cross-sectional dataset of attitudes toward mobile phone brands spanning two technology generations, 2.5G and 3G. The results reveal important asymmetries between adopter types and between technology generations: early adopters of mobile devices emphasize perceived value, whereas late adopters rely on brand satisfaction in developing brand loyalty; and consumers depend more on trust and less on perceived value in developing loyalty for the new generation than for the existing generation. …”

A tri-level typhoon-DAD robust optimization framework to enhance distribution network resilience by Hou, Hui, Wu, Wenjie, Zhang, Zhiwei, Wei, Ruizeng, Wang, Lei, He, Huan, Dong, Zhao Yang

“…In the third level, the Nested Column-and-Constraint Generation algorithm is used to solve distribution network reconfiguration and intentional islanding. Simulation time is spanned to the entire 24-hour disaster day. In the end, the proposed framework is tested through a case study using real data from super typhoon “Mangkhut” (2018) in Yangjiang, China. …”

A functionally arranged phononic crystal rod enabling ultra-wideband vibration attenuation and orderly frequency distillation by Lou, Jia, Fan, Hui, Yang, Jie, Zhang, Aibing, Du, Jianke

“…Based on these calculations, careful parameter selection yields a compact configuration for a functionally arranged phononic crystal rod, boasting an exceptionally wide band gap spanning frequencies from 100 Hz to 10,000 Hz. Finite element simulations vividly demonstrate its ultra-broadband vibration attenuation capability, nonsymmetrical wave propagation behavior, and orderly frequency distillation phenomenon. …”
