Pricing Segmentation and Analytics

Pricing Segmentation and Analytics
Tudor Bodea, "Pricing: Segmentation and Analytics "
English | ISBN: 1606492578 | 2011 | 200 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
Pricing analytics uses historical sales data with mathematical optimization to set and update prices offered through various channels in order to maximize profit. A familiar example is the passenger airline industry, where a carrier may sell seats on the same flight at many different prices. Pricing analytics practices have transformed the transportation and hospitality industries, and are increasingly important in industries as diverse as retail, telecommunications, banking, health care and manufacturing. This book will guide students and professionals on how to identify and exploit pricing opportunities in different business contexts. The first chapter looks at pricing from an economist's viewpoint, beginning with the basic concept of price elasticity and how it differs at the product, firm, and industry levels as well as the short term versus long term. The second chapter looks at these same topics, but from a more practical standpoint, with examples provided from several consulting projects. The third chapter is on dynamic pricing, with a special emphasis on the most common application: markdown pricing. The fourth chapter covers the new field of customized pricing analytics, where a firm responds to a request-for-bids or request-for-proposals with a customized price response. In this situation, the firm will only have historical win/loss data and traditional methods involving price elasticity do not apply. The final chapter covers the relevant aspects of behavioural science to pricing. Examples include the asymmetry of joy/pain that customers feel in response to price decreases/increases. A set of best pricing practices will be presented that are based on these behavioral responses.

Predicting with Conditional Nakṣatra-Based Daśās
Marc Boney, "Predicting with Conditional Nakṣatra-Based Daśās"
English | ASIN : B0B1BTRH6V | 2022 | 426 pages | AZW3 | 17 MB
The incredible daśā systems of Jyotiṣa are what give it such predictive power. The Bṛhat Pārāśara Horā Śāstra, that great compendium of astrological knowledge, gives 35 different ones, including nine conditional nakṣatra-based daśās that can be applied only when a birth chart meet certain criterion.

Physics for Radiation Protection A Handbook, Second Edition

Physics for Radiation Protection A Handbook, Second Edition
Physics for Radiation Protection: A Handbook, Second Edition By James E. Martin(auth.)
2006 | 829 Pages | ISBN: 3527406115 | PDF | 18 MB
A highly practical reference for health physicists and other professionals, addressing practical problems in radiation protection, this new edition has been completely revised, updated and supplemented by such new sections as log-normal distribution and digital radiography, as well as new chapters on internal radiation dose and the environmental transport of radionuclides. Designed for readers with limited as well as basic science backgrounds, the handbook presents clear, thorough and up-to-date explanations of the basic physics necessary. It provides an overview of the major discoveries in radiation physics, plus extensive discussion of radioactivity, including sources and materials, as well as calculational methods for radiation exposure, comprehensive appendices and more than 400 figures. The text draws substantially on current resource data available, which is cross-referenced to standard compendiums, providing decay schemes and emission energies for approximately 100 of the most common radionuclides encountered by practitioners. Excerpts from the Chart of the Nuclides, activation cross sections, fission yields, fission-product chains, photon attenuation coefficients, and nuclear masses are also provided. Throughout, the author emphasizes applied concepts and carefully illustrates all topics using real-world examples as well as exercises. A much-needed working resource for health physicists and other radiation protection professionals.
