Traceability in the U.S. Food Supply: An Application of Transaction Cost Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
Suboptimal supply of food and agricultural traceability is framed in a transaction cost analysis. We propose a model that considers the variables of opportunism potential, agency costs, uncertainty, asset specificity, frequency, and transaction costs ...

On the Deformation Behavior of Metastable CrMnNi Steels Processed by Directed Energy Deposition in Different Temperature Regimes

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In the present study, metastable CrMnNi steels with varying chemical compositions and a concomitantly altered stacking fault energy are processed via directed energy deposition and afterwards tested via tensile tests at different temperatures. The present study shows the influence of the manufacturing process on the elemental deformation mechanisms for

Public management of water in irrigated aera:informal agreement,corruption and rent-seeking [PDF]

open access: yes
The public water management in irrigated perimeter is marked by some failures. We can mention the theft of water, corruption and rent-seeking. These failures result in wastage of this scarce resource.

Modelling the Intention to Adopt Cloud Computing Services: A Transaction Cost Theory Perspective

open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Information Systems, 2014
This paper uses transaction cost theory to study cloud computing adoption. A model is developed and tested with data from an Australian survey. According to the results, perceived vendor opportunism and perceived legislative uncertainty around cloud ...

Single‐Crystal Castability of CM186LC Nickel‐Based Superalloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The optimal conditions to obtain single‐crystal (SX) castings of the directional solidification nickel‐based superalloy CM186LC, are investigated. Cylindrical samples are cast via a proprietary SX Bridgman process. The effect of solidification rates (V) ranging from 1 to 10 mm⋅min−1 on the microstructure is explored.

Do Transaction Costs and Risk Preferences Influence Marketing Arrangements in the Illinois Hog Industry? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Risk reduction and transaction costs are often used to explain contracting in the U.S. hog industry with little empirical support. Using a unified conceptual framework that draws from risk behavior and transaction cost theories, in combination with ...

Impact of Various Rotary Friction Welding Process Parameters on the Mechanical Properties of a Steel–Aluminum Joint

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Rotary friction welding of steel E355 and the aluminum alloy EN AW‐6082 can lead to the formation of brittle intermetallic phases. The primary process parameters are varied in order to determine their influence on this intermetallic phase formation and the resulting mechanical properties.
