Our understanding of public support for climate policies predominantly stems from studies in the Global North and a focus on isolated policy types. Here, we examine how public support for four different climate policy types and the effect of ideological explanatory variables on such support vary among countries of the Global North and Global South. We surveyed representative samples of each three
Evaluating the effect of measurement errors on either adaptive or simultaneous control charts has been a topic of interest for the researchers in the recent years. Nevertheless, the effect of measurement errors on both adaptive and simultaneous monitoring control charts has not been considered yet. In this paper, through extensive numerical studies, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on
This paper considers adaptive schemes for the simultaneous monitoring of the mean and variability of a multivariate normal quality characteristic. At first, we extend an already existing bivariate non-adaptive simultaneous control chart to a multivariate one. Then, we develop several adaptive schemes, which will cover both previously bivariate and newly multivariate charts. After having designed a
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising building block for biobased recyclable polymers and a platform for other potential biobased chemicals. The common route of its production is by oxidation of sugar-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Several reports on biocatalytic oxidation using whole microbial cells or enzymes have been reported, which offers potentially a greener alternative c
Listening is often ignored and not understood as an organizational strategic resource. In this conceptual article, we explain why listening is downplayed by combining the two research fields Service Management and Strategic Communication. We propose that organizations embrace service logic as a perspective of managing organizations. Service logic has a stakeholder-centric approach to value creatio
Introduction: Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is observed in both physiological and pathological states. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality in neonates and children and curative pharmacotherapy is lacking in most cases. In utero, a high PVR allows for blood to bypass the lungs through the open ductus arteriosus (DA). Vascular
Liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs), e.g. cubosomes and hexosomes, are receiving more and more attraction as drug delivery vehicles. Dry powder formulation that forms LCNPs upon hydration can be advantageous to make new routes of administration accessible. In this work, we investigate use of three disaccharides (lactose, trehalose and sucrose) as protective matrices for glycerol monooleate ba
The coefficient of friction (COF) and wear are critical parameters in assessing disc brake performance. However, their study is challenging due to their interdependence on contact pressure, sliding velocity, temperature, and material composition. The complex contact interactions between brake pads and discs involve the continuous formation and destruction of mesoscopic contact plateaus, which
Software is at the core of digitalisation and is often claimed to play a central role in innovation and in shaping competition across industries and firms. There are yet few studies of the extent and nature of software development across firms. We employ a unique firm-level survey comprising 3,929 firms across Sweden to analyse the distribution and characteristics of firms that invest in software
A semiempirical model has been developed for deposition velocity of particles on the forehead and eyes. It is based on published results of wind tunnel studies of deposition of 2-32 μm airborne particles onto the forehead and realistically-shaped eyes of a manikin. The effects of electric fields and particle charges were included in the model on a purely theoretical basis. The model was used to ca
The singularity cancelation scheme initially introduced by Khayat and Wilton for evaluating singular and near-singular potential integrals with 1/R singularities has in this paper been applied to parameterized quadrilateral cells containing higher order hierarchical H(div) Legendre basis functions. The singular and near-singular potential integrals treated in this paper appear in the method of mom
A statistical distribution for the number of CDMA RAKE fingers, N T, to be assigned in order to track a given percent of the total received power has been derived. The obtained distribution reveals a strong dependence of NT on the system bandwidth, the median RMS delay spread, its standard deviation and other environment specific parameters. Also, a statistical distribution for the fading width fw
