Digital services need access to consumers’ data improve service quality and generate revenues. However, it remains unclear how such should be configured facilitate willingness share personal information. Prior studies discuss an influence of selected individual traits or configurations, including transparency features personalization. This study aims at uncovering interactions among individuals’ privacy valuation, features, personalization their disclose Building on information boundary...
Abstract After herbivory, plants release volatile organic compounds from damaged foliage as well nearby undamaged leaves that attract herbivore enemies. Little is known about what controls the emission differences between and tissues how these affect orientation of We investigated adjacent black poplar ( P opulus nigra ) after herbivory by gypsy moth L ymantria dispar caterpillars determined mediating attraction parasitoid G lyptapanteles liparidis B raconidae). Female parasitoids were more...
Although technologies spurred by the “Internet of things” are increasingly being introduced in homes, only a few studies have examined adoption or diffusion such household technologies. One particular area interest this context is electricit
Plant volatiles (PVs) mediate interactions between plants and arthropods, microbes other plants, are involved in responses to abiotic stress. PV emissions therefore influenced by many environmental factors, including herbivore damage, microbial invasion, cues from neighboring also light regime, temperature, humidity nutrient availability. Thus, an understanding of the physiological ecological functions PVs must be based on measurements reflecting under natural conditions. However, usually...
Abstract Digitalization has permeated all aspects of human lives, economies, and societies. This transformation been driven by the rapid growth in computing power, storage capabilities, data transmission infrastructures. These changes have enabled innovations, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, smartphones, digitalized homes, (semi) autonomous vehicles, quantum more. further resulted faster, more effective service delivery many organizations. The phenomenon digitalization...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a categorization sharing practices from structured interdisciplinary literature review on the Sharing Economy. Instead striving for new definition, authors distinguish nine types and provide an overview prior investigations across three levels analysis 15 research areas. translated into opportunities future Design/methodology/approach study follows approach uncover related Economy similar phenomena. analyze 210 articles broad number...
"Brick-and-mortar" retailers, when expanding their businesses to online channels, can either add a separate channel or integrate channels enhance service offerings. Although past studies on choice have yielded insights into factors affe
Transformative services represent a crucial topic in future service research. Particularly the energy sector, consumer adoption of transformative—often IT-enabled—services is essential to increased environmental sustainability. As adopting these increases both individual and collective well-being, research has delve more deeply into origins consumers’ motivations. For this reason, study aims at augmenting understanding how different types motivation determine intention adopt transformative...
Among the terpenes, isoprene (C5) and monoterpene hydrocarbons (C10) have been shown to ameliorate abiotic stress in a number of plant species via two proposed mechanisms: membrane stabilization direct antioxidant effects. Sesquiterpene (C15) not only share structural properties thought lend protective qualities hydrocarbons, but also react rapidly with ozone, suggesting that sesquiterpenes may similarly enhance tolerance stresses. To test whether protect plants against UVB light, or...
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are an energy efficient alternative to high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting in tomato cultivation. In the past years, we have learned a lot about effect of red and blue LEDs on plant growth yield tomatoes. From previous studies, know that plants absorb utilize most visible spectrum for photosynthesis. This part is referred as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). We designed LED fixture with emission partially matches range 400 700 nm thus covers absorption...
Abstract While today consumers benefit from personalised service offerings, they are also understandably concerned about the privacy risks generated by disclosing their personal information online. We know that such perceived in general shape behaviour, but we little what specific obstruct use of digital services, making it difficult to implement technologies could mitigate these risks. Based on qualitative and quantitative studies involving over 1000 participants, conceptualise quantify a...
Abstract Insect sexual communication often relies upon sex pheromones. Most insect pheromones, however, contain carbon-carbon double bonds and potentially degrade by oxidation. Here, we show that frequently reported increased levels of Anthropocenic ozone can oxidize all described male-specific pheromones Drosophila melanogaster , resulting in reduced amounts such as cis-Vaccenyl Acetate ( Z )−7-Tricosene. At the same time female acceptance ozone-exposed males is significantly delayed....
Abstract This paper studies the dynamics in two-settlement electricity markets. In these markets, energy producers sign strategic forward contracts market, and engage spatial oligopolistic competition spot market. We develop an agent-based model for simulating outcomes of such Numerical simulations imply that access to market leads more competitive behaviors suppliers thus lower prices.
Abstract Summary: Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) belong to the group of rare diseases. The European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID), is establishing an innovative patient and research database network continuous long-term documentation patients, in order improve diagnosis, classification, prognosis therapy PIDs.
