This article uses Sydney as a case study to examine the process of retail decentralization during Australia’s postwar boom, showing how the form and function of capital city retailing changed completely in just a couple of decades. Suburban migration, the emergence of mobile car-driving consumers, socially constructed gender roles, the ongoing importance of public transport networks, planning regimes that sought to concentrate development in designated zones, and business growth strategies that deployed retail formats developed in America all played a role in shaping the form and function of Australian retailing during the postwar boom. In the process, the retail geographies of Australia’s capital cities were transformed from highly centralized distribution structures dominated by the urban core, to decentralized landscapes of retail clusters featuring modern retail forms like the supermarket and shopping center that would come to define Australian retailing for the remainder of the century.

PurposeThis paper aims to conceptualize and test an integrated model of online grocery buying intention by extending technology acceptance model by adding several antecedents of online grocery shopping behaviour such as physical effort, time pressure, entertainment value, product assortment, economic values, website design aesthetics, etc. The ultimate dependent variable was consumer’s satisfaction with buying process of grocery product via online platform. Design/methodology/approachThe model was tested over online grocery shoppers using structural equation modelling approach. To enhance the validity of the finding, common method bias and social desirability bias were also assessed. FindingsAs product assortment was found to have a significant impact on both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, it supports the notion of one-stop solution as a major driver to attract buyers to buy groceries online. Findings also highlight the importance of entertainment value and economic value as key variables which shape the buyer’s satisfaction and purchase loyalty behaviour. Overall, the results support the proposed model. Practical/implicationsThe findings of this study would be helpful for online marketers to get more website visits and to increase conversion rates, i.e. getting their visitors to spend more time on the website and to make purchase. Originality/valueThis integrated framework tested here is quite comprehensive in nature, as it includes the influence of time pressure, physical effort and product assortment on online buying behaviour. These basic yet important variables to study, especially when the industry (online grocery shopping) is still in its nascent stage, are missing from the literature. The present study also involves a rigorous data analysis process followed by assessment of common method bias and psychometric property test. Such approach is rare in existing body of knowledge. The study uses S-O-R framework for hypothesis and model development, which is also rare in context of online grocery shopping.

The system properties of passivity, losslessness, and reciprocity are defined and their necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for a class of linear one-dimensional multipower distributed systems. The utilization of power product pairs as state variables and the representation of the dynamics in first-order form allows results completely analogous to those for lumped-element systems.

Redundant Binary (RB) to Two’s Complement (TC) converter offers nonredundant representation. However, the sign bit of TC representation has to be handled using nonstandard hardware blocks. The concept of Inverted encoding of negative weighted bits (IEN) eliminates the need of sign extension and offers design only using predefined hardware blocks. NonRedundant Binary (NRB) representation refers to both conventional and IEN representations. The NRB representation is also useful considering problem related to shifting in Carry Save (CS) representation of a RB number. In this paper, we have proposed two new conversion circuits for RB to NRB representation. The proposed circuits of the RB to NRB converter are coded in Verilog Hardware Description language (HDL) and synthesized using the Encounter(R) RTL Compiler RC13.10 v13.10-s006_1 of Cadence tool considering ASIC platform. Considering 64 bits’ operand, the delay power product performances of proposed one-bit and two-bit computations offer improvement of almost 29.9% and 47%, respectively as compared to Carry-Look-Ahead (CLA). The proposed one-bit converter is also applied in the final stage of the Modified Redundant Binary Adder (MRBA). The 32-bit MRBA offers a delay improvement of 7.87% replacing conventional converter with proposed one-bit converter in same FPGA 4vfx12sf363-12 device.
