2.1. Selection of Variables and Variable Levels The dependent variable refers to the willingness of individuals to use or not use an e-scooter sharing service to cover the previously mentioned distance, taking the pre-defined conditions into consideration. Respondents decide whether a shared e-scooter...
Until relatively recently, the RDBMS was the only product category worth considering for most applications. The big data trend, as well as the growth of technologies like IoT and real-time data streaming, have led to the development of new kinds of DBMSes that compete well with relational soft...
Surfactants, a unique class of surface-active molecules, have a remarkable ability to tune NPs activity; provide specific functions, avoid their aggregation, and create stable colloidal solutions. Surfactants also control nanoparticles’ nucleation and growth processes by modifying nuclei solubility and ...
This study investigates the extent to which teacher candidates from different majors show (un-)favorable personality characteristics at the beginning of their teacher education. Its investigation uses the data from a large-scale study to analyze the Big Five personality traits of teacher candidates acro...
A comparison of the parameters of the fitted model is presented. Full size image Figure 4 In the upper and lower panels, the distribution of RMSE computed from test data and the distribution of the number of selected variables through Lasso, Elnet and StPLS over all concentration levels is ...
result from the use of a naive Phillips curve that relates inflation only to labor-market tightness and inertia variables. The paper contains extensive sensitivity tests that examine the behavior of the basic inflation equation over alternative sample periods; that enter the growth rate of money dire...
To consider that the shape of the distribution change with the intensity of the ground motion a beta regression model uses link functions, g1(⋅) and g2(⋅) to connect μ and φ, with linear predictors, η1 and η2 that are commonly functions of a one or more explanatory variables:...
regardless of their predicates. Changes made to rows during another transaction, which were not visible because of snapshot isolation, become visible and are "added to the snapshot' because each row has a transaction_id associated with it. When the row is updated, the newest version of the ...
The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of an E-nose and E-tongue that were evaluated for the Escherichia coli detection at different concentrations and their ability to discriminate this bacterium from others, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella enterica in pasteurized milk. For...
of how large-scale, low intensive transformations can maintain high biodiversity levels as well as socio-economic and cultural values. However, the role that these human-modified habitats can play for individuals or species living beyond their borders is unknown. Here, using a dataset of 106 ...
