In recent years, with the development of mobile devices, the location based services (LBSs) have become more and more prevailing and most applications installed on these devices call for location information. Yet, the untrusted LBS provider can collect these location information, which may potentially threaten users’ location privacy. In view of this challenge, we propose a two-tier schema for ...

Innovative networked value constellations, such as Cisco or Dell, are often enabled by Information Technology (IT). The same holds for the Distributed Electricity Balancing Service (DBS), which we present in this case study. To explore feasibility of such constellations while designing them, we need at least to develop a financial and technical understanding of the constellation at hand. In thi...

Objective: To analyze the combined effect of food and larval density in order to determine combination which best results development, growth survival Litopenaeus vannamei zoea are obtained. Desing/methodology/approach: The experiment consists evaluating 16 treatments resulting from four densities: 100, 200, 300 400 larvae∙L-1 densities C. muelleri as food, adjusting rations each three phases d...

In the design phase of business collaboration, it is desirable to be able to predict the profitability of the business-to-be. Therefore, techniques to assess qualities such as costs, revenues, risks, and profitability have been previously proposed. However, they do not allow the modeler to properly manage uncertainty with respect to the design of the considered business collaboration. In many r...

In this paper we align business with IT in a networked setting while introducing innovative e-customs procedures worldwide. We perform the alignment process in a multi-perspective way, guided by concerns of upscaling. As we show in this paper, using an industry-strength case study, effects of upscaling have often impacts on business, like the increase of the number of service consumers, or the ...

Abstarct: A molecular phylogenetic analysis of some Holothuroidea was undertaken in order to clarify the systematics and taxonomy of this class in the red sea. DNA sequence for portions of 16S mitochondrial genes was obtained from 4 species of sea cucumbers. The resulting molecular phylogeny using maximum likelihood methods of the Holothuroidea conflicting existing taxonomy, which is based larg...

Soybean rust is caused by the obligate fungal pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow. A unidirectional cDNA library was constructed using mRNA isolated from germinating P. pachyrhizi urediniospores to identify genes expressed at this physiological stage. Single pass sequence analysis of 908 clones revealed 488 unique expressed sequence tags (ESTs, unigenes) of which 107 appeared as multiple copie...

Une recente directive europeenne invite les Etats membres a la mise en place de procedures restructuration preventive dans leur droit commercial. Ce papier evalue l'interet d'implementer une procedure distincte celle qui existe pour entreprises insolvables. Il s'appuie sur l'experience francaise caracterisee par coexistence, depuis 2006, d'une (la sauvegarde) avec plus courante (le redressement...

We estimate the impact of container revolution on new trade in temperature‐sensitive products. Our identification strategy is justified by a historical narrative suggesting that containerization bilateral trading routes was exogenous to occurrence products because their small volumes made them inconsequential for adoption technology. Employing product‐level data containerizability, our benchmar...
