Abstract Background Targeting swarms of male Anopheles mosquitoes with techniques such as aerosol spraying could potentially suppress malaria vector populations and parasite transmission.Unfortunately, research on Anopheles swarming behaviours is limited, particularly in East Africa where only a handful of studies have been done.New evidence has re
How is social capital formed across the digital-physical servicescape?
This paper examines how consumers create social capital in their interactions with other customers and service personnel while shopping in retail stores with both physical and digital locations.We draw on the servicescape literature to explore the role of social capital in determining the social realm in digital-physical servicescapes using data ob
Analysis of Tools for the Development of Conversational Agents
Conversational agents are click here being increasingly adopted in various domains, such as e-commerce and customer services, and as a direct communication channel between companies and end-users.Several tools have been developed to facilitate their definition and deployment.They exploit existing cloud infrastructures and artificial intelligence (A
Investor Attention and Stock Market Activities: New Evidence from Panel Data
Using the panel vector autoregression (VAR) method, this paper documents relationships between investor attention and stock market activities; i.e., return, volatility, and trading volume, respectively.In sum, bidirectional dynamic interdependence of the SVI−stock market activities relationship exists, in which the SVI−trading volume re
Modeling the distribution of headwater streams using topoclimatic indices, remote sensing and machine learning.
Headwater streams (HWS) are ecologically important components of montane ecosystems.However, they are difficult to map and may not be accurately represented in existing spatial datasets.We used topographically resolved climatic water balance data and satellite indices retrieved from Google Earth Engine to model the occurrence (presence or absence)
