The aim of this study is to find out and identify the loyalty perceptions of a travel product. A group package tour （GPT） is selected to represent the travel product in this study for its covering diversified types of travel products, such as adventure package tours, recreational package tours, and other themed package tours, which can fit in with many travel settings. Structural equation modeling （SEM） was employed to test the research data and conceptual framework. The research findings show that, unlike tangible products, service products such as a GPT could have two different loyalty perceptions, namely, loyalty of the travel agency （brand） and loyalty of the product category.展开更多

Mr. Wang Ruohong,director of the Energy Efficiency Management Center of the China Institute for Standardization, expressed in the "High-efficiency and Energy-saving Electric Appliance Promotion Quarter"that compulsory labeling of energy efficiency will be continued in China on frequency-converting air-conditioners, gas heaters, electric heaters and electromagnetic ovens. By the end of the "11th Five Year", compulsory labeling of energy efficiency will be expanded to include 20 categories of products, including household appliances, automobiles, architecture, motors, and offices. Labeling in other industries will continue, but the number of levels will be reduced from the current five to three.……展开更多

These filters, however, introduce a pressure drop which results in a loss of energy. It is shown that over the life cycle of a compressed air filter, the pressure drop dominates the total energy consumption and subsequently, the carbon footprint. From an economic as well as ecologic point of view, a reduction of the pressure drop is hence of utmost importance. Based on this finding and structuring, the wide range of applications and operational parameters, a pragmatic and technically feasible eco-labeling system for compressed air filters was developed as a decision supporting tool. Using this tool, procurement managers as well as the process engineers and environmental officers are able to steer the selection of suitable compressed air filters. The approach has been proposed to and discussed with various representatives of the compressed air filter industry nevertheless there is probably a long way to go to establish such a labeling procedure in industry.展开更多
