Making public transport the choice mode by Tan, Siew Fong

“…From our analysis, results have shown that the top three factors that are the most important to commuters are (1) Reliability: Frequency of buses, (2) Safety and Security: Driver does not drive recklessly, (3) Comfort: Cleanliness of the bus. From our findings, we also noted that there is significant difference in the responses between heavy and non-heavy bus users on having a bus stop within a 5 minute walk from home. …”

Enhanced expression of codon optimized interferon gamma in CHO cells by Yusufi, Faraaz N. K., Yang, Yuansheng, Lee, Dong-Yup, Chung, Bevan Kai-Sheng, Mariati

“…However, our RNA-Seq based transcriptome profiling indicated that the ICU and CC distribution patterns of different gene expression classes in CHO cell are relatively similar, unlike other microbial expression hosts, Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This finding was further corroborated through the in vivo expression of various ICU and CC optimized IFN-γ in CHO cells. …”

The nature and determinants of user-generated content for dissatisfied customers: evidence from second-hand luxury fashion brands by Ozuem, Wilson, Willis, Michelle, Ranfagni, Silvia, Rovai, Serena, Howell, Kerry

“…Design/methodology/approach Building on an inductive qualitative study of 59 millennials from three European countries (France, Italy and the UK) and by examining the mediating role of UGC and dissatisfied customers, this paper develops a conceptual framework of three clusters of second-hand luxury fashion goods customers: spiritual consumers, entrepreneurial recoverer consumers and carpe diem consumers. Findings The proposed SEC framework (spiritual consumers, entrepreneurial recoverer consumers, and carpe diem consumers) illustrates how the emerging themes interconnect with the identified consumers, revealing significant consumer actions and attitudes found in the second-hand luxury goods sector that influence the usage of UGC and its integration into service failure and recovery efforts Originality/value This study suggested that the perceptions of consumers seeking second-hand luxury fashion products differ from those who purchase new or never previously owned luxury fashion products. …”

Metabolomic characterisation of low-density lipoproteins isolated from iodixanol and KBr-based density gradient ultracentrifugation by Webb, Richard, Lodge, John, Scott, Sophie, Davies, Ian

“…Differences were shown in the molecular composition of LDL prepared using SBUC and IGUC; in positive mode ionisation, the PLS-DA model showed reasonable fit and discriminatory power (R2 = 0.63, Q2 = 0.58, accuracy 0.88) and permutation testing was significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings reveal distinct differences in the small molecule composition of LDL prepared using the two methods, with IGUC exhibiting greater variation. …”
