The oscillations of free-falling drops with size range from pl to μl have been used to measure the transient shear viscosity and the dynamic surface tension of shear-thinning fluids on the timescale of 10−5–10−2 s. The method is first validated with... Read More about Determination of dynamic surface tension and viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids from drop oscillations.

International Journal of Production Economics, 164, 409-420. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpe.2014.10.011

This work considers a monopolist firm which faces the following twin challenges of serving an environmentally sensitive market. The first challenge is the demand׳s elasticity to emissions and price. To entice its emission conscious customers and gene...

Because of an increase in population, the demand for coal has drastically risen with millions of tons of coal being imported annually through Indian ports. To accommodate with this rise in demand, there has been an increase in the concern over proper...

A diffusion model for service products. (2014)
Journal Article
Shi, L., & Fernandes, K. (2014). A diffusion model for service products. Journal of Services Marketing, 28(4), 331-341. https://doi.org/10.1108/jsm-11-2012-0224

Purpose – This paper aims to develop a diffusion model that can be used to understand and forecast the market growth of service products in a competitive environment. Despite the fast growth of the service sector, the existing literature has dedicate... Read More about A diffusion model for service products..

Control of the Particle Distribution in Inkjet Printing through an Evaporation-Driven Sol-Gel Transition (2014)
Journal Article
Talbot, E., Yang, L., Berson, A., & Bain, C. (2014). Control of the Particle Distribution in Inkjet Printing through an Evaporation-Driven Sol-Gel Transition. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 6(12), 9572-9583. https://doi.org/10.1021/am501966n

A ring stain is often an undesirable consequence of droplet drying. Particles inside evaporating droplets with a pinned contact line are transported toward the periphery by radial flow. In this paper, we demonstrate how suspensions of laponite can be... Read More about Control of the Particle Distribution in Inkjet Printing through an Evaporation-Driven Sol-Gel Transition.

Exploring the Role of Innovativeness and Opinion Leadership in Diffusion. (2014)

Despite the extensive studies in the field of diffusion, the role of innovativeness in diffusion models has not reached a consensus and the literature has dedicated little effort to modelling customers' heterogeneous opinion leadership. These gaps co... Read More about Exploring the Role of Innovativeness and Opinion Leadership in Diffusion..
