Since its launch just over a decade ago by the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, distributed ledger technology (DLT) blockchain has followed breathtaking trajectory into manifold application spaces. This study aper analyses how key factors underpinning success of this ground-breaking “Internet value” technology, such as staking collateral (“skin in game”), competitive crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and prediction markets, can be applied to substantially innovate legacy organization science, research,...
The traditional Proof of Existence blockchain service on the Bitcoin network can be used to verify existence any research data at a specific point time, and validate integrity, without revealing its content. Several variants exist certify relying cryptographic fingerprinting, thus enabling an efficient verification authenticity such certifications. However, nowadays is continuously changing being modified through different processing steps in most scientific workflows that certifications...
Abstract Manual behavioral observations have been applied in both environment and laboratory experiments order to analyze quantify animal movement behavior. Although these contributed tremendously ecological neuroscientific disciplines, there challenges disadvantages following their footsteps. They are not only time-consuming, labor-intensive, error-prone but they can also be subjective, which induces further difficulties reproducing the results. Therefore, is an ongoing endeavor towards...
With ongoing developments in the field of smart cities and digitalization general, data is becoming a driving factor value stream for new existing economies alike. However, there exists an increasing centralization monopolization holders service providers, especially form big US-based technology companies western world central providers with close ties to government Asian regions. Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) provides technical building blocks create decentralized data-driven systems, which...
Perceptual decision making involves choices between alternatives based on sensory information. Studies in primates and rodents revealed a stochastic perceptual evidence accumulation process that, after reaching threshold, results action execution. Birds represent cognitively highly successful vertebrate class that has been evolving independent from mammals for more than 300 million years. The present study investigated whether pigeons shows behavioral computational dynamics comparable to...
Introduction Making decisions and investing effort to obtain rewards may depend on various factors, such as the delay reward, probability of its occurrence, information that can be collected about it. As predicted by theories, pigeons other animals indeed mind these factors when deciding. Methods We now implemented a task in which were allowed choose among three options peck at chosen key improve conditions reward delivery. Pecking more first color reduced 12-s before food was delivered with...
The Pavlovian autoshaping paradigm has often been used to assess the behavioral effects of reward omission on behavior. We trained pigeons receive a food (unconditioned stimulus or UCS) following illumination response key (conditioned CS). In Experiment 1, one group was with two 100% predictive CS-UCS associations (reward certainty) and another 25% uncertainty) for 12 sessions. both groups, CS durations were 8 s. Then, in each group, duration remained unchanged that other suddenly extended...
Proof of Existence as a blockchain service has first been published in 2013 public notary on the Bitcoin network and can be used to verify existence particular file specific point time without sharing or its content itself. This is also available Ethereum based bloxberg network, decentralized research infrastructure that governed, operated developed by an international consortium facilities. Since it desirable integrate creation this proof tightly into workflow, namely acquisition processing...
The ecological impact of shared light electric vehicles (LEV) such as kick scooters is still widely discussed. Especially the fact that and batteries are collected using diesel vans in order to charge empty with electricity unclear origin perceived unsustainable. A better option could be let users themselves whenever it necessary. For this, a decentralized, flexible easy install network off-grid solar charging stations bring renewable where needed without sacrificing convenience free float...
