Customers’ Perceptions as an Antecedent of Satisfaction with Online Retailing Services by Peter Misiani Mwencha, Stephen Makau Muathe

“…While the study model conceptualizes customers’ perceptions as a composite variable made up of three dimensions (perceived attributes, perceived risk and perceived value) prescribed by four established information systems (IS) and consumer behaviour frameworks, namely the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Perceived Risk Theory (PRT), Theory of Consumption Values (TCV) and Expectations-Artifact Model of Satisfaction (EAMS), it does not specify how the different perceptual factors infl uence online satisfaction; instead it aggregates all three dimensions into a higher-order construct called “customers’ perceptions” and tries to understand the nature of relationship between the composite independent variable and the dependent variable. …”

On the Extended Simple Equations Method (SEsM) for Obtaining Numerous Exact Solutions to Fractional Partial Differential Equations: A Generalized Algorithm and Several Applications by Elena V. Nikolova

“…In this article, we present the extended simple equations method (SEsM) for finding exact solutions to systems of fractional nonlinear partial differential equations (FNPDEs). The expansions made to the original SEsM algorithm are implemented in several directions: (1) In constructing analytical solutions: exact solutions to FNPDE systems are presented by simple or complex composite functions, including combinations of solutions to two or more different simple equations with distinct independent variables (corresponding to different wave velocities); (2) in selecting appropriate fractional derivatives and appropriate wave transformations: the choice of the type of fractional derivatives for each system of FNPDEs depends on the physical nature of the modeled real process. …”
