How is the ongoing “datafication” in society experienced by consumers? Critical discussions regarding impact of datafication on consumers seldom study consumers’ actual experiences. Conversely, studies that do exist and their experiences tend to take an individualistic approach, arguing how experience respond result individual psychological make-up or processes cost–benefit calculations. Agains...

The present study suggests that national culture will influence consumer attitude and behavior; however, research documenting differences in consumer culture in Taiwan and China is lacking. This study analyzes the hotel industry of Taiwan and China and explores the relationships between environmental attitudes, environmental responsive behavior and the willingness to stay at environmentally fri...

BACKGROUND Healthcare systems face the problem of insufficient resources to meet the needs of ageing populations and increasing demands for access to new treatments. It is unclear whether doctors and consumers agree on the main challenges to health system sustainability. METHODOLOGY We conducted a mail survey of Australian doctors (specialists and general practitioners) and a computer assiste...

Acceptability and the sensory profile of experimental commercial gluten-free biscuits were evaluated using a consumer test. Experimental contained flours little employed in products (buckwheat, sorghum lentil) without rice maize starches. Liking scores, answers to Check All That Apply questionnaire responses dietary habits survey collected from consumers. Consumers clustered through Hierarchica...

OBJECTIVE To use the over-complete discrete wavelet transform (OCDWT) to further examine the dual structure of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in the dog. METHODS ABR waveforms recorded from 20 adult dogs at supra-threshold (90 and 70dBnHL) and threshold (0-15dBSL) levels were decomposed using a six level OCDWT and reconstructed at individual scales (frequency ranges) A6 (0-391Hz), D6 (391-...

Several studies have investigated the relationship between click-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and loudness growth in human listeners. While some of these studies have reported promising results, showing a correlative relationship between click ABR and loudness growth as a function of level, additional studies are necessary to determine if similar results can be obtained with frequ...

We evaluated the effect of electrode montage on the spectrum of the infant auditory brainstem response (ABR). Spectral profiles of ipsilateral, contralateral, noncephalic, and horizontal recordings obtained in response to slow and fast repetition rates and at low and high stimulus intensities were also evaluated. Findings indicate that the spectrum of the infant ABR is dominated by low-frequenc...
