This study investigates the relative impacts of the facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) on the first impressions business professionals form of business consultants when seeing their photographs on a corporate website or LinkedIn page. By applying conjoint analysis on field experiment data (n = 381), we find that in a zero-acquaintance situation business professionals prefer low-fWHR business consultants. This implies that they prefer a face that communicates trustworthiness to one that communicates success. Further, we have investigated the words that business professionals use to describe their preferred consultant. These approach motivations help practitioners to improve the picture-text alignment. The results underline the necessity to critically assess the pictures and text used on websites and media platforms such as LinkedIn for business purposes, and to see them as a key element of business and self-communication that can be altered in order to improve business ‘mating.’

In a natural environment, plants usually interact with their neighbors predominantly through resource competition, allelopathy, and facilitation. The occurrence of the positive effect of allelopathy between peat mosses (Sphagnum L.) is rare, but it has been observed in a field experiment. It is unclear whether the stability of the water table level in peat induces positive vs. negative effects of allelopathy and how that is related to phenolic allelochemical production in Sphagnum. Based on field experiment data, we established a laboratory experiment with three neighborhood treatments to measure inter-specific interactions between Sphagnum angustifolium (Russ.) C. Jens and Sphagnum magellanicum Brid. We found that the two species were strongly suppressed by the allelopathic effects of each other. S. magellanicum allelopathically facilitated S. angustifolium in the field but inhibited it in the laboratory, and relative allelopathy intensity appeared to be positively related to the content of released phenolics. We conclude that the interaction type and intensity between plants are dependent on environmental conditions. The concentration of phenolics alone may not explain the type and relative intensity of allelopathy. Carefully designed combined field and laboratory experiments are necessary to reveal the mechanism of species interactions in natural communities.

Although mobile advertising seemingly offers practitioners tremendous potential given the ubiquitous nature of reaching subscribers anywhere, we know very little about it. Base on field experiment data, the developed zero-inflated Poisson model reveals that distance, promotion and product type could affect sales impact of advertising while using wireless telecommunication technology. When estimating the model, we use latent instrument variable (LIV) approach to rule out possible endogeneity problem. The empirical results indicate that distance, promotion, product type trigger sales respectively, while only promotion increases sales amount.

Wavelet package and neural network are used to recognize the characteristics of pipeline leakage acoustic signals. Acoustic signals produced by pressure variation of pipelines can be detected by the acoustic sensors installed on the pipelines. The detecting accuracy can be increased with recognizing the acoustic signals correctly. The method to detect acoustic signals by combining the wavelet package and neural network is introduced in this paper. The signal is decomposed with wavelet package firstly, then the decomposed coefficients in each frequency band are obtained through reconstruction. As a result, the parameters of the new sequences reconstructed on every decomposed node are acquired, and then these parameters are input to BP neural network to recognize the fault reason intelligently. At the end of the paper, field experiment data and their analyzed results are studied. The experimental results are provided to show that the proposed method can increase the accuracy efficiently.
