How companies use typeface design to engage consumers in charitable activities
Abstract This research examines how the typeface design in a charitable appeal affects consumers' evaluations of the ad and, in turn, their willingness to engage in the advertised charitable activities. We propose that the typeface's simulation of a handwritten note creates a sense of connectedness to the information sender (e.g., organization, brand),

On the Outage Analysis and Finite SNR Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff of Hybrid-Duplex Systems for Aeronautical Communications [PDF]
A hybrid-duplex aeronautical communication system (HBD-ACS) consisting of a full-duplex (FD) enabled ground station (GS), and two half-duplex (HD) air-stations (ASs) is proposed as a direct solution to the spectrum crunch faced by the aviation industry.

Minimum-Delay Routing for Integrated Aeronautical Ad Hoc Networks Relying on Passenger-Planes in the North-Atlantic Region [PDF]
Relying on multi-hop communication techniques, aeronautical ad hoc networks (AANETs) seamlessly integrate ground base stations (BSs) and satellites into aircraft communications for enhancing the on-demand connectivity of planes in the air. In this integrated AANET context we investigate the shortest-path routing problem with the objective of minimizing

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.

Statistical methods for critical scenarios in aeronautics
We present numerical results obtained on the CEMRACS project Predictive SMS proposed by Safety Line. The goal of this work was to elaborate a purely statistical method in order to reconstruct the deceleration profile of a plane during

Nonexistence of time reversibility in statistical physics [PDF]
Contrary to the customary thought prevailing for long, the time reversibility associated with beam-to-beam collisions does not really exist. Related facts and consequences are presented. The discussion, though involving simple mathematics and physics only, is well-related to the foundation of statistical theory.
