The rapid development of proteomics studies has resulted in large volumes experimental data. emergence big data platform provides the opportunity to handle these amounts integrated proteome resource, iProX (https://www.iprox.cn), which was initiated 2017, been greatly improved with an up-to-date implemented 2021. Here, we describe main developments since its first publication Nucleic Acids Research 2019. First, a hyper-converged architecture high scalability supports submission process. A...
AbstractArtificially created characters – virtual influencers amass millions of followers on social media and affect digital natives' engagement decisionmaking in remarkable ways. Guided by the Uses Gratification (U&G) approach Uncanny Valley Theory, this study seeks to understand phenomenon. By looking into followers' with influencers, identifies conceptualizes six primary motivations namely, novelty, information, entertainment, surveillance, esthetics, integration interaction. Furthermore,...
Purpose – This paper aims to focus on development of a green supplier selection model using an index system based combination traditional and environmental criteria. Strategies that balance economic performance are increasingly sought after as enterprises the sustainability their operations. Green supply chain management (GSCM) in particular, enables integration environmentally friendly suppliers into be systematised fit with specific regulations policies.

Abstract The success rate for information technology (IT) projects continues to be low. With an increasing number of IT in developing countries such as China, it is important understand the risks they are experiencing on projects. To date, there has been little research documenting Asian perceptions project risk. In this research, we examine identified by Chinese senior executives (SEs) and managers (PMs), compare these two groups. importance top management support well documented. Prior...
We investigate the effect of information asymmetry on corporate tax avoidance. Using a difference-in-differences matching estimator to assess effects changes in analyst coverage caused by broker closures and mergers, we find that firms avoid more aggressively after reduction coverage. further this is mainly driven with higher existing tax-planning capacity (e.g., tax-haven presence), smaller initial coverage, number peer firms. Moreover, pronounced industries where reputation matters subject...
The online trading platform Alibaba provides financial technology (FinTech) credit for millions of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Using a novel data set daily sales an internal score threshold that governs the allocation credit, we apply fuzzy regression discontinuity design (RDD) to explore causal effect access on firm volatility. We find significantly reduces volatility is stronger firms with fewer alternative sources financing. further look at exit probability FinTech...

Building on two sources of exogenous shocks to analyst coverage – broker closures and mergers, we explore the causal effects mitigating managerial expropriation outside shareholders. We find that as a firm experiences an decrease in coverage, shareholders value internal cash holdings less, its CEO receives higher excess compensation, management is more likely make value-destroying acquisitions, managers are engage earnings activities. Importantly, most these significant mainly driven by...
Using a large sample of unlisted industrial firms in China, we find that decrease local governments’ land transfer revenues leads to lower tax avoidance by within their jurisdiction. Our cross-sectional variation tests suggest the tax-avoidance-reduction effect is stronger cities with higher finance dependence and government intervention, as well where political leaders have promotion incentives. However, moderated for politically connected firms. Further analysis reveals intensified...
Abstract This article studies how the three-way interaction among shareholders, creditors, and managers shapes firms’ executive compensation. Firms with a higher ownership share by “dual holders”—institutional investors that simultaneously hold equity bond of company—adopt less risk-inducing compensation structure: stock options more inside debt. Exploiting financial institution mergers increase or decrease dual for portfolio companies, we identify causal link between CEO policies. Mutual...
In this paper we consider two ways to generalize the mathematical expectation of a random variable, Choquet and Peng’s g-expectation. An open question has been, after making suitable restrictions class variables acted on by expectation, for what do these definitions coincide? provide necessary sufficient condition which proves that only lies in both classes is traditional linear expectation. This settles another about whether may be used obtain Monte Carlo-like solution nonlinear PDE: It...
Administrative fragmentation among government agencies has posed a significant challenge to environmental governance. However, few studies have theoretically examined and empirically measured how local governments in China address this with collaborative approaches. Informed by the ecology of games framework (EGF), paper status inter-agency water governance Dongguan City: pilot city aquatic ecologically friendly China. The research question we seek is: What are main characteristics network...
In the context of multilevel governance, collaboration among governmental and non-governmental entities across different levels government is increasingly popular in China’s environmental governance. Policy actors are engaged two types with other local governments: horizontal vertical collaboration. participate when they work at same level, working governments levels. This study examines governance China by studying how decisions policy to water networks influenced pressures from higher...
