Acquisition and retention of a shelter by a lobster are two of the variables that play a role in lobster agonistic interactions. Since shelter procurement and retention are important for lobster survival, behaviors related to this activity frequently outrank other daily behaviors (e.g., searching for food). Here, we examine the effects of time in residence on the parameters of the escape respon...

Using male and female Alderley Park (Wistar-derived) rats housed in single-sex groups in standard laboratory cages, we looked at the effect of group size (one, three, five or eight) on competitive behaviour and time budgeting (initial and longer term), changes in their serum testosterone (males), corticosterone and antibody concentrations, and organ pathology at age 16 weeks, together with the ...

Evaluation is a central and essential activity in conducting rigorous Design Science Research (DSR), yet there is surprisingly little guidance about designing the DSR evaluation activity beyond suggesting possible methods that could be used for evaluation. This paper extends the notable exception of the existing framework of Pries-Heje et al [11] to address this problem. The paper proposes an e...

We study the structure of the phase space of generic models of deformed special relativity which gives rise to a definition of velocity consistent with the deformed Lorentz symmetry. In this way we can also determine the laws of transformation of spacetime coordinates.

The relative efficiency of Common Azimuth wave equation depth migration based on the double square root equation makes it an attractive engine for use in automated velocity updating schemes. One such automated velocity analysis procedure is Differential Semblance Optimization, which constructs velocity updates to reduce, and eventually minmize, a quantitative measure of image gather misfocussin...

Die Durchführung von rigoroser und relevanter gestaltungsorientierter Forschung (engl. Design Science Research, DSR) gewinnt in der Wirtschaftsinformatik international an Akzeptanz und Bedeutung. Der vorliegende Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, das Verständnis von DSR in der Wirtschaftsinformatik zu schärfen und DSR-Erfahrungen mit der Community zu teilen. Dafür wird ein Fallbeispiel, das ein umfangr...
