The explosive expansion of the Internet has led to dramatic shifts
in the methodology of conducting business, allowing for
instantaneous communication and activities. ""Proliferation of the
Internet Economy: E-Commerce for Global Adoption, Resistance, and
Cultural Evolution"" provides deep insight into the globalization
of e-commerce and the minimization of the digital divide between
developed and developing countries. This book specifically
addresses and explains the adoption and proliferation of global
e-commerce.
This SpringerBrief offers a state of the art analysis of electronic
word-of-mouth (eWOM) communications and its role in marketing. The
book begins with an overview of traditional word-of-mouth (WOM) and
its evolution to eWOM. It discusses the differences between
traditional and online WOM. The book examines why people engage in
eWOM communications, but also how consumers evaluate its
persuasiveness. It also looks at the effects of eWOM. The book
identifies current gaps in the eWOM research, but also highlights
future directions for this growing field. eWOM is an important
marketing technique in brand communications, and it plays an
important role in modern e-commerce. Marketers become extremely
interested in enhancing the power of eWOM developing loyalty
programs and building brands. Studying the effect of eWOM can be
beneficial for companies. This book should be a good resource for
scholars and practitioners that need to understand the pervasive
effects of eWOM.
All-season field guide for identifying common trees of eastern NA
This popular, field-tested guide for identifying trees in any
season, not just when they are in full leaf, features 600 color
photos and 200 line drawings showing bark, branching patterns,
fruits, flowers, nuts, and overall appearance in addition to leaf
color and shape. Accompanying text describes common locations and
identifying characteristics. Covers every common tree in eastern
North America, updated with the latest taxonomy and 130 range maps.
Created for in-the-field or at-home use, this helpful guide
includes an easy-to-use key to facilitate putting a name to a tree.
A low-speed wind tunnel study and flight tests were performed to
examine the effects of a wing fence on the T-38A. Wind tunnel
results were based upon force and moment data collected with a
six-component balance and flow visualization at Reynolds numbers up
to 0.3 x 106, based on mean aerodynamic chord. The model did not
include the last 7.79 feet of the aircraft, and the engine and
exhaust were modeled as through-holes. Five fence geometries,
placed at wing station 125 ( 0.825 semispan), were compared. The
best performer of these designs, based on drag polar, was the fence
that wrapped the leading edge and extended 84.6 percent of the
local chord length along the wing's upper surface. Wind tunnel data
showed that this fence increased the lift coefficient by up to 6.3
0.6 percent and reduced spanwise and separated flow outboard the
fence. The flight-tested fence was based on the best performing
fence design from the wind tunnel study. The results were based on
aircraft instrumentation and flow visualization at Reynolds numbers
up to 9.98 x 106. It was inconclusive whether the fence caused an
increase in lift coefficient. The fence reduced the roll-off
tendency and wing rock during approaches to stall. Tuft
visualization on the aircraft wing suggested that the fence reduced
spanwise and separated flow outboard the fence, which agreed with
the wind tunnel results.

What's wrong with Arminianism? Arminian theology is sweeping
through the evangelical churches of North America. While most
Arminians are good, sincere, orthodox Christians, authors Robert A.
Peterson and Michael D. Williams contend that aspects of Arminian
thought are troubling both biblically and theologically. In
particular, they argue, Arminians have too lofty a view of human
nature and an inadequate understanding of God's sovereign love in
Christ. Why I Am Not an Arminian explores the biblical, theological
and historical background to the Calvinist-Arminian debate. The
irenic nature and keen insight of this book will be appreciated by
laypeople, pastors and scholars alike.
