Summary: Express companies and users prefer contactless pickup and delivery methods during the pandemic. This study fills the gap in understanding the process and factors influencing users' switching intention from traditional home pickup or delivery to contactless smart lockers. The findings suggest that the attractiveness of smart lockers plays a significant role in users' switching intention, while the perceived value of home pickup and inertia also affect the decision-making process. This study provides valuable insights for express companies to understand user intentions and make informed decisions.

Summary: This paper proposes a machine-learning-based control framework that can learn control signals and effectively control complex dynamical systems. By utilizing neural ordinary differential equations, the framework is able to steer high-dimensional dynamical systems towards a desired target state within a specified time interval.

Summary: In this work, the regional averaged controllability (RAC) problem governed by a class of semilinear hyperbolic systems is studied. The definitions of the exact and approximate RAC systems are provided, and the problem of RAC for semilinear systems is stated. Two solution methods are proposed: one using a condition of the analytical operator to the nonlinear part of the system to characterize the optimal control via the fixed point theorem, and the other using the Hilbert Uniqueness Method (HUM) with an asymptotic condition on the nonlinear part to find the optimal control. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the main results.

Summary: Six helicene based push-pull systems were designed and synthesized to modify the optical properties of the helicene skeleton. The properties of the compounds were studied by DFT calculations and spectroscopic methods. The introduction of a diphenylaminophenylene group as a donor led to an increase in fluorescence quantum yield and a dependence on solvent polarity.

Summary: English Summary: The Push Pull Mooring (PPM) Theory is often associated with customer switching behavior and the migration process. However, switching behavior comes with risks. PPM Theory only focuses on why people move and the migration outcome, disregarding the risk factors in the process. For example, there are risks involved in consumers transitioning from offline to online purchases using Augmented Reality (AR) technology, as consumers are hesitant when risks are involved. The study's findings show that PPM is not always linked to switching behavior issues. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing users' intentions to switch from their current smartphone brands. Findings reveal that regret, subjective norms, and alternative attractiveness are important drivers of switching intentions, while switching costs, emotional commitment, and brand community engagement act as barriers to brand-switching intention.
