Seamless positioning techniques in indoor and outdoor environments are necessary for obtaining sensor locations. However, no definitive indoor-outdoor navigation system simultaneously provides high accuracy, high availability and low installation cost. Furthermore, crowded indoor-outdoor navigation systems consisting of multiple techniques will destructively interfere with each other, but an ex...

This article aims to broaden the understanding of quasi-experimental methods among marketing scholars and those who read their work by describing underlying logic set actions that make convincing. The purpose is, in absence experimental variation, determine presence a causal relationship. First, authors explore how identify settings data where it is interesting understand whether an action caus...

We examine the causal effect of unionization on firm innovation, using regression discontinuity design that relies on “locally” exogenous variation generated by elections that pass or fail by a small margin of votes. Passing a union election leads to an 8.7% (12.5%) decline in patent quantity (quality) three years post-election. A reduction in R&D expenditures, reduced productivity of inventors...

The working space environment has a large impact on workers. To improve workplace productivity, it is important to design the office environment. In this paper, we focused radiant air conditioning, which attracting increasing attention for use in offices. purpose of study was determine differences indoor between conditioning and convective evaluate their effects productivity by conducting subje...

This paper provides a discussion of recent developments related to the applicability of the regression discontinuity design in economics. It reviews econometric issues, such as identification and estimation methods, as well as a number of sensitivity and validity tests of importance in empirical application.

The SoundScape Renderer (SSR) is a versatile software tool for real-time spatial audio reproduction. It is capable of generating driving signals for a variety of loudspeakerbased and headphone-based reproduction methods. Due to its extensive remote-control possibilities, it can be conveniently used as an audio backend in psychoacoustic listening and conversational experiments, for example in th...
