The alkaloids such as caffeine and nicotine, which are constantly consumed by humans, were proved to be harmful for the plants also. These alkaloids alter the biological activity of living organism and lead to disturbances in the environmental sustainability within the ecosystem. So, the present literature explicates the comparative toxicity of both caffeine and nicotine in root meristems of La...

Rating agencies are often subject to the criticism of being slow in adjusting their rating to current conditions. This paper examines the timeliness of rating changes and identifies factors which result in ’stickiness’ of rating actions. Stickiness is characterized by not adjusting the rating even when a market-based estimate of default probability changes. Introducing an extended econometric m...

This paper considers the role of space in overcoming knowledge stickiness discussing space as both a location and a gap between other things. Qualitative case data indicates that there are three areas of space that need to be considered; physical, mental and virtual, as well as a range of reasons why space alone is not enough to support knowledge creation and learning. We argue that recognising...

This study explores the relationship between tax-cut policy, accounting conservatism, and corporate tax burden stickiness in Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2019. The primary objective is identify underlying reasons for continued high levels of burdens despite introduction policies. An econometric model was developed analyze transmission mechanism these policies affecting achieve this goa...

We propose recurrence plots (RPs) to characterize the stickiness of a typical area-preserving map with coexisting chaotic and regular orbits. The difference of the recurrence properties between quasiperiodic and chaotic orbits is revisited, which helps to understand the complex patterns of the corresponding RPs. Moreover, several measures from the recurrence quantification analysis are used to ...

We identify the fine structure of resonance islands and the stickiness in chaos through recurrence time statistics (RTS), which is based on the concept of Poincaré recurrences. The projection of recurrence time statistics onto the phase space does give relevant information on the hierarchical and microstructures of the chaotic beach around the islands of a near-integrable system, the annular bi...

This study investigates whether earnings quality affects to asymmetric cost behavior, i.e., sticky of listed firms Jakarta Stock Exchange (JKSE). analyzes 1032 year-firms observations during 2012-2019 periods. on JKSE the period IFRS adoption in 2012 and implementation sustainability reporting voluntarily. finds that influence stickiness is supported. However, negatively influences stickiness. ...

Sinking is part of diatom life history. Typically, by the end a bloom, diatoms form aggregates that sink rapidly to bottom. This opportunistic lifestyle can be considered an adaptation reduce predation losses, because pressure in sediment less than water column. In this study, we demonstrate two out six examined become sticky and coagulate into when exposed chemical copepod cues. Cell stickines...

This study aims to investigate the impact of sticky inventory management on credit ratings for all three components (raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods). Taking a group listed manufacturing firms in China from 2011 2019, we employed ordered probit regression model combined with moderation examine relationship between component stickiness two dimensions: environmental dynamism co...

This paper seeks to extend the literature on cost behavior by providing additional evidence sticky in developing countries namely Egypt. Moreover, it aims determine what extent affects earnings quality. The depends a sample consists of 38 listed firms Egyptian Exchange over period from 2004 2017. findings reveal that total costs respond asymmetrically equivalent change sales six nine examined s...
