It has been repeatedly and independently proved that biochar applications brings a wide range of environmental advantages. For these benefits to have any tangible impact on global scale, needs be applied in substantial quantities. However, the commercial applicability most research date is limited by demanding requirements for used (pricy feedstocks or activated ways). Nevertheless, such production alternatives increase costs thus undermine financial sustainability many applications. In...

A regional disparity is becoming increasingly important growth constraint. Policy makers need quantitative knowledge to design effective and targeted policies.

In our study, we focused on the assessment of four bankruptcy prediction models, to figure out which model is most appropriate in conditions Slovak business environment. Based previous research within conditions, set a portfolio 4 models be assessed: Altman (1984), Ohlson (1980), indexes IN01 and IN05 that were validated sample 700 companies. studies expected IN are superior model. The excellency lies validation assessing accuracy at three levels: overall accuracy, prediction, non-bankruptcy...

Abstract Consumer behaviour analysis is a key aspect for the success of e-business. The main objective study to analyse impact selected user experience factors on e-commerce web site visiting (technology). create model that will explain each major factor and re-visit e-shop. To use technology, in second part we have modified original technology acceptance (TAM) with other constructs. Specifically, there are modern technologies such as social networks or mobile apps affect e-shops. TAM one...
