A “demand and supply” approach to monitoring habitat and population changes of migratory birds
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Habitat loss and degradation threaten thousands of migratory bird species worldwide. Yet, because the distributions of migratory birds change throughout the year, quantifying the impacts of threats and identifying key sites for conservation attention have proved challenging.

Efficient preliminary floating offshore wind turbine design and testing methodologies and application to a concrete spar design [PDF]
, 2015 The current key challenge in the floating offshore wind turbine industry and research is on designing economic floating systems that can compete with fixed-bottom offshore turbines in terms of levelized cost of energy. The preliminary platform design, as

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Effect of three‐way interaction between soil tillage, drainage and depths on soil properties in reseeded pastures. Abstract Background Grassland reseeding typically requires intensive tillage. This disrupts soil nutrient dynamics, especially under varying drainage conditions. Methods This study evaluated the combined effects of tillage legacy, drainage

Employee Delight: Conceptualization, Antecedents, and Consequences
Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the concept of employee delight as a distinct construct within organizational behavior. Based on a systematic literature review, we analyze 10 empirical studies that explicitly address this phenomenon. We propose a multidimensional conceptualization of employee delight as an affective state of highly positive valence and ...

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Big data and financial innovations are vital to enhancing the performance of banking institutions. However, limited evidence exists on the effects of big data applications and financial innovation on bank performance. This study addresses this gap by constructing a theoretical framework linking big data applications and financial innovations ...

A Guide to Key Decision Criteria for Likert‐Scale Use in Survey Research
Global Business and Organizational Excellence, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although widely used in survey research, the application of the Likert scale often lacks rigorous justification in relation to key methodological decisions. Furthermore, inconsistencies in terminology persist, for example, the common reference made to the “5‐point Likert scale,” even though debate is ongoing about the optimal number of ...
