UNBALANCED POWER RELATIONSHIP IN DIGITAL MARKETS BETWEEN PLATFORMS AND THEIR COMPLEMENTORS: CAN CONSUMERS COME TO THE RESCUE?

Unbalanced power relationship in digital markets between platforms and their complementors: can consumers come to the rescue?

Acknowledging the unbalanced power relationship between online platforms and their complementors, the economic dependence relationship and fear of retaliation may prevent complementors from fighting against economically harmful practices implemented by online dominant platforms.The economic dependence relationship and fear HOLDALLS of retaliation a

BiFeO3-BaTiO3: A new generation of lead-free electroceramics

Lead-based electroceramics such as Pb(Zr.Ti)O3 (PZT) and its derivatives have Hoods excellent piezoelectric, pyroelectric and energy storage properties and can be used in a wide range of applications.Potential lead-free replacements for PZT such as potassium sodium niobate (KNN) and sodium bismuth titanate (NBT) have a much more limited range of us

Chemical and physical influences on aerosol activation in liquid clouds: a study based on observations from the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

A simple statistical model to predict the number of aerosols which activate to form cloud droplets in warm clouds has been established, based on regression analysis of data from four summertime Cloud and Aerosol Characterisation Experiments (CLACE) at the high-altitude site Jungfraujoch (JFJ).It is shown that 79 % of the observed variance in drople

Five glutathione s-transferase gene variants in 23,452 cases of lung cancer and 30,397 controls: meta-analysis of 130 studies.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are known to abolish or reduce the activities of intracellular enzymes that help detoxify environmental carcinogens, such as those found in tobacco smoke.It has been suggested that polymorphisms in the GST genes are risk factors for lung cancer, but a large number of studies have reported apparently conflicting res
