Linking entrepreneurial orientation to firm performance in a post-socialist market context: the case of Hungary
(2016)
Entrepreneurial orientation provoked the interest of numerous scholars as well as political and administrative decision-makers. Both start-ups and already established corporate entities are increasingly persecuting new opportunities, products, and business models in order to establish superiority above their competitive environment. The tendencies evince an optimist impact of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance, namely on financial performance. Beyond the aforementioned relationship, there are impulses ...

Total Site Utility Systems Optimisation for Milk Powder Production
(2016)
This study applies the Total Site Heat Integration method, in conjunction with a detailed process and utility model, to investigate three methods to increase the energy efficiency of the utility supply system for milk powder production. Sequentially explored opportunities are: (1) increasing boiler efficiency through condensing economisers, (2) waste heat recovery from the chiller unit, and (3) Combined Heat and Power (CHP) for electricity production. The basis for the analysis is the anticipated future milk powder ...

The acceptance of mobile payments in the German retail market
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2016)
The acceptance of mobile payments is one of the research challenges of high strategic relevance in retailing. Most of the previous studies of mobile payment field focus on consumers’ opinions, expectations and concerns to assess their acceptance of mobile payment systems. The financial transactions’ complementing party – the merchants – who also needed to accept and, therefore, to implement mobile payment technologies is considered in this study. The purpose of this study is to enhance an existing research framework, ...

Uncertainty and Speculators in an Auction for Emissions Permits
(Springer, 2016-04-16)
Auctions have become popular as means of allocating emissions permits in the emissions trading schemes developed around the world. Mostly, only a subset of the regulated polluters participate in these auctions along with speculators, creating a market with relatively few participants and, thus, incentive for strategic bidding. I characterize the bidding behavior of the polluters and the speculators, examining the effect of the latter on the profits of the former and on the auction outcome. It turns out that in addition ...

An Experimental Investigation into ‘Pledge and Review’ in Climate Negotiations
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-06-06)
A novelty of the new Paris Agreement is the inclusion of a process for assessment and review of countries’ nationally determined pledges and contributions. The intent is to reveal whether similar countries are making comparable pledges, whether the totality of such pledges will achieve the global goal, and whether, over the coming years, the contributions actually made by countries will equal or exceed their pledges. The intent is also to provide an opportunity for countries to express their approval, or disapproval, ...

Dörfliche Freiraumkultur im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert - dargestellt am südlichen Sauerland
(2016-11-23)
Entgegengesetzt zur sich ausweitenden Unwirtlichkeit der Dörfer ist unter den Publikumszeitschriften ein neues Land-Genre entstanden mit dem Trendsetter LandLust (mittlerweile 1 Mio. Auflage) und einer unübersehbaren Flut von Nachahmer-Zeitschriften im Gefolge. Die sich hier spiegelnde Idyllisierung des Ländlich-Dörflichen gab den Anstoß für die Dissertation. Den gängigen Klischees vom „alten Dorf“ mit Bauerngarten und Obstwiesenkranz, Dorflinde und Dorfteich sollte eine differenzierende Aufarbeitung der Geschichte ...

Dezentrale Ventilatoren in zentralen raumlufttechnischen Anlagen. Messtechnische Validierung berechneter Ventilatorleistung
(CCI Dialog GmbH : CCI Wissensportal, 2016-01-27)
Mechanische Lüftungsanlagen sind ein zentrales Element energieeffizienter, nachhaltiger Gebäude. Die Luftförderung erfolgt bei zentralen Lüftungsanlagen üblicherweise über einen Zuluft- und einen Abluftventilator in der Lüftungszentrale. Jeder Zentralventilator erzeugt eine Druckdifferenz, die sich an dem Widerstand des ungünstigsten Stranges orientiert. Zum Aufteilen des Gesamtvolumenstroms auf die einzelnen Gebäudebereiche wird die Druckdifferenz in den anderen Strängen gezielt abgedrosselt. Die Abdrosselung stellt ...

The periplasmic domain of the barrel assembly machinery protein A (BamA) from Escherichia coli assists folding of outer membrane protein A
(2016-12-19)
The assembly of outer membranes of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria and of various organelles of eukaryotic cells requires the evolutionarily conserved β-barrel-assembly machinery (BAM) complex. This thesis describes the biochemical and biophysical properties of the periplasmic domain of the β-barrel assembly machinery protein A (PD-BamA) of the E. coli BAM complex, its effect on insertion and folding of the Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) into lipid bilayers and the identification of regions of PD-BamA that ...
