Accounts of participation in genetic research are dynamic and innately social. Participation is viewed not as an individualised act but as morally significant and involving relational responsibilities. Previous work has investigated individuals’ motivations for research participation in terms of such relational complexities. Here we explore the significance of relational responsibility in the c...

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing research community participation and open innovation through mediating role of absorptive capacity from lens Resource Based View Dynamic Capability perspectives. on a survey 115 senior engineering faculties three universities in Malaysia, this applies Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) model. The findings demonstrate that top management su...

BACKGROUND Street-connected children and youth (SCCY) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) have multiple vulnerabilities in relation to participation in research. These require additional considerations that are responsive to their needs and the social, cultural, and economic context, while upholding core ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. The objective o...

Adults with intellectual/developmental disability (IDD), and their occupational participation, are vastly under-represented in Hollywood films. Because films often provide individuals’ only experience of people with IDD, cinematic representations can influence audience perceptions. Thus, films can help inform public perceptions about desired and appropriate occupational participation for people...

Integrated urban transportation models have several benefits over sequential models including consistent solutions, quicker convergence, and more realistic representation of behavior. Static models have been integrated using the concept of Supernetworks. However integrated dynamic transport models are less common. In this paper, activity location, time of participation, duration, and route choi...

Dynamic pricing mechanisms occur on the Internet when buyers and sellers negotiate the final transaction price for the exchange of goods or services. These mechanisms are used in online auctions (e.g., eBay.com, uBid.com) and name-your-own-price (Priceline.com) formats, for example. The current research studies the dynamics of one instance of dynamic pricing -group-buying discounts -used by Mob...

We study the classic sequential screening problem under ex-post participation constraints. Thus the seller is required to satisfy buyers’ ex-post participation constraints. A leading example is the online display advertising market, in which publishers frequently cannot use up-front fees and instead use transaction-contingent fees. We establish when the optimal selling mechanism is static (buye...

A number of dynamic models in economics are formulated with forward-looking elements in the constraints – for example, models of risk-sharing with participation constraints and models of optimal policy. Here, standard dynamic programming does not apply. Recent contributions show how to reformulate these models by either rewriting the forward-looking constraints (promised utility approach) or by...

A dynamic general-equilibrium model with limited participation in financial markets is constructed to study the determination of nominal exchange rates in a small open economy with tradable and non-tradable goods. The qualitative and quantitative implications of this framework are assessed under flexible prices. Then, the panel dynamic OLS regression is applied to seek the empirical support for...

DOGMA is a new system for object-group-oriented parallel programming using Java. In addition to providing eeective object-group-oriented programming, DOGMA also provides powerful system connguration abilities such as dynamic code loading, dynamic system connguration, and web browser participation. Though relatively new, DOGMA has proven eeective at executing parallel applications on a several d...
