Predicting Customer Churn and Retention Rates in Nigeria’s Mobile Telecommunication Industry Using Markov Chain Modelling

Acta Universitatis Sapientiae: Economics and Business, 2015
The telecommunication industry is one of the service industries that is most affected by the problem of subscribers’ churn. Although several techniques have been used to predict customer churn in developed countries, many of those studies used secondary ...

Hepatocyte growth factor mimetic protects lateral line hair cells from aminoglycoside exposure

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Loss of sensory hair cells from exposure to certain licit drugs (e.g., aminoglycoside antibiotics, platinum-based chemotherapy agents) can result in permanent hearing loss.

Sectoral Disaggregation of German M3 [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 1996
Das Papier teilt die Geldmenge M3 (ohne Bargeld) nach den wichtigsten Haltern (inländische Unternehmen und private Haushalte) auf und untersucht die Bestimmungsgründe dieser Unteraggregate. Eine solche disaggregierte Betrachtung erscheint insbesondere auch für ein besseres Verständnis der gesamten Geldmenge M3 interessant.

Embedded Ferroelectric Nanoclusters Can Drive Polarization Reversal in a Non‐Ferroelectric Polar Film via the Proximity Effect

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric nanoclusters create local internal fields in a normally non‐switchable polar film because of polarization mismatch at their interfaces. That field opposes polarization in the regions with larger polarization and reinforces polarization in the regions with smaller polarization.

A Novel Modified Petroresin Particle (MPRP) With Enhanced Oil–Water Selectivity for Cold Production in Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel oil–water selective conformance control agent, MPRP, is prepared via hydrophilic grafting and mechanical granulation. MPRP uniformly disperses in water, cohesively expands upon aging, and readily dissolves in the oil phase. During conformance control, it selectively aggregates in water channeling pathways to form effective plugs without ...

Stacking Fault Complexions in AgSbTe2 Thermoelectrics With Enhanced Electrical Conductivity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Atomic‐scale characterization resolves stacking fault complexion in AgSbTe2, showing Te and Sb segregation along with lattice dilation. Their enhanced effects on phonon scattering are modeled analytically. Although most defects also impede electron transport, local four‐point‐probe measurements reveal higher electrical conductivity at stacking fault ...

The Luminosity Function of M3 [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1999
We present a high precision, large sample luminosity function (LF) for the Galactic globular cluster M3. With a combination of ground based and Hubble Space Telescope data we cover the entire radial extent of the cluster. The observed LF is well fit by canonical standard stellar models from the red giant branch (RGB) tip to below the main sequence ...
