"Doing business", being the layman expression for "performing economic transactions", seems organised along a few logical principles. This text is about organisation in general and the vertical coordination of economic transactions in particular. Transaction cost theory, as provided by Oliver E. Williamson (1975, 1985, 1996), is used as the theoretical framework. The operationalisation of transact
Cell cultures form the backbone for scientific research and development, but also for clinical diagnostics and biotechnology. Supplying cells in vitro with growth factors, hormones, and other nutrients is achieved most often by supplementing culture media with fetal bovine serum (FBS). Despite its nearly ubiquitous use, there are major reproducibility, safety, and animal welfare issues arguing the

This article examines the interpretation of biosignatures, the signs of life that could bedetected in outer space. In astrobiology biosignatures could be of various kinds, fossils, molecules, traces, artefacts, structures, electromagnetic waves, etc. The purpose of this article is to bring some semiotic order in this seemingly chaotic variation of signs. It turns out that the semiotic function of
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of critical care nurses (CCNs) and registered nurse anesthetists (RNAs) when monitoring and observing infants and toddlers recovering from anesthesia.DESIGN: A qualitative design with a critical incident approach.METHODS: Semistructured individual interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of CCNs and RNAs (n = 17) from pos

MRI can be used as an non-invasive method to map the brain. By correlating diffusion with relaxation it is possible to separate different tissue kinds such as white matter, grey matter and free water. In this work we look at how to bin the data to best separate the tissues. By modifying the bin limits in Diso, Dperp / Dparallel, \DDelta and R2 it will be shown that there is not a single optimal

Open Government Data (OGD) is an important driver for open innovation among public entities. However, extant research highlights a need for improved feedback loops, collaboration, and a more demand-driven publication of OGD. In this study, we explore how public platform providers can address this issue by enabling collaboration within OGD ecosystems, both in terms of the OGD, and any related Open
