Generational Perception and Satisfaction Differences Related to Restaurant Service Environment

ABSTRACT

The current study considers perception, satisfaction, and importance rating differences of aspects of the dining service environment in a casual-themed restaurant between members of three generations—baby boomers, Gen X, and millennials. The study also assesses the moderating role of generation on the relationship between satisfaction and repeat patronage intentions. Significant differences were found between generations related to satisfaction, importance ratings, and repeat patronage intentions regarding the overall dining service environment. The current study provides assessment of components of the DINESCAPE scale along with items from the DinEX scale related to social connectedness. Implications of the research are discussed.     

Customers on the web are not all created equal: the moderating role of internet shopping experience

Consumers' previous shopping experience has been found to be an important influence on future shopping intentions. Prior internet shopping experience, however, has been largely overlooked as a moderator of attitudes and online-retail outcomes. Specifically, key influences on online retail buying behavior such as site reputation, advertising likeability, site security and hedonic and utilitarian shopping values can be expected to have differential effects on intentions to repatronize an e-commerce website based on the level of internet shopping experience by prospective buyers. This study proposes and tests an integrated model in which level of prior internet shopping experience is treated as a moderator of relationships among attitudinal variables and repatronage intentions with the variable attitude toward the site as a mediator of buying intentions. Findings are consistent with the proposed model with an interesting exception. Perceptions of site security were in the opposite direction of the model prediction. Managerial and theoretical implications are provided for consideration.     

近红外光谱技术在宁夏枸杞子产地鉴别中的应用研究

利用近红外光谱技术对宁夏、新疆、青海、内蒙的4个不同产地427份枸杞子样品进行光谱扫描。在主成分分析基础上利用判别分析法,在4500-9000 cm-1光谱波数范围内,光谱经用二阶导数,Norris derivative filt-5点平滑的预处理方法建立判别模型。结果表明：利用该模型可以将宁夏产地枸杞子与其他三地分开,且宁夏产地分别于新疆、内蒙、青海产地比较,判别准确率分别为98.3%、98.1%、97.9%。表明该方法在枸杞子产地识别中具有可行性,能够满足宁夏产地枸杞子的鉴别需求。

Service Quality Perception and Satisfaction: Buying Behaviour Prediction in an Australian Festivalscape

The study was conducted on 358 attendees at a major wine festival in Australia. A positive relationship between quality perception and overall satisfaction constructs exists. New insight to festivalscape knowledge is provided through the first‐time and repeat visitor dynamic as predictor of actual buying behaviour. Higher percentage of repeat visitors correlates with higher likelihood of (wine) buying. Overall satisfaction is a stronger predictor of buying behaviour than any individual service quality dimension and of these quality dimensions overall. Repeat visitors, 35 years and older, are the highest yielding visitor group from a financial viewpoint. First‐time visitors are more short‐term oriented in their planning when making the final decision to attend the event. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于C-RAN与LTE-Hi的BR-OFDMA导频图案设计

在集中式/协作式/云计算无线接入网（C-RAN）环境下,结合热点及室内覆盖的长期演进(LTE-Hi)特点,研究导频图案的设计。LTE-Hi要求插入的导频数量比传统的长期演进(LTE)少,又由于其覆盖特点导致小区边界更容易受相邻小区干扰,由此提出一种应用块重复的正交频分多址（BR-OFDMA）和压缩感知信道估计技术的导频图案设计方案。该方案能够探测各相邻小区间的干扰情况,然后根据干扰情况设置BR-OFDMA参数,最后得到导频图案。该方案能明显减少导频数量,在C-RAN的云结构下更适合LTE-Hi相邻小区间的协作配置,能根据干扰情况,在资源消耗与性能之间进行平衡。仿真表明该方案在低信干比环境下仍能表现较好性能,适合在C-RAN与LTE-Hi中应用。     

A Systematic Approach to Non-Repeat and Repeat Travel

Abstract

When one accepts findings on first-time and repeat travel from the literature and examines the concept of loyalty, then one can build a schema, a system of relations, for analysis of tourism behavior and loyalty. Given the schema, implications can be derived on how loyalty and non-repeat combined with repeat tourism can be manifested and should be measured. Implications following from the schema are examined to clarify measurement and conceptual issues and they are compared to implications of models. Analysis focuses attention on how heterogeneity in populations taking similar trips should impact data collection for analysis of tourism behavior and destination loyalty. Segment-specific measures of behavior, not population statistics, are identified as providing the basis for understanding aspects of non-repeat and repeat tourism and their relation to loyalty.     

《诗经》之重章叠句对近体诗词格律之影响

《诗经》结构形式上重章叠句的特点对近体诗词的格律有明显的影响。重章叠句的主要功能是反复、强调。诗词格律中的用韵和平仄粘对也是循环反复的。《诗经》对近体诗词格律的影响体现了文学艺术形式发展的一般规律。     

规则RA码在混合信道上的高斯估计

将高斯估计方法运用到规则重复累积（RA）码在具有加性白色高斯噪声和删除干扰的混合信道上的性能分析中．导出了RA码在该信道上概率密度进化的递归等式和误码率的解析表达式。仿真结果验证了解析结果的正确性。因此解析结果可以直接用来预测RA码在混合信道上的性能。     

Assessing the viability of university alumni as a repeat visitor market

Both student and repeat visitor markets have been recognised by tourism academics and destination marketing agencies, but the alumni repeat visitor market has been neglected. The paper examines alumni propensity to return as tourists to their university city using a sample of graduates from a university in the North West of England. The large majority returned to the destination as tourists within six months of graduation, although visitation declined sharply after the first return visit. A cluster analysis using both motivation and constraint dimensions identified six a posteriori segments. Three of these were found to have significant potential because of their strong emotional attachment to the destination rather than the university. The accessibility of segments for targeting, through the development of links between the DMO and the educational institution, also supports their commercial viability.
