TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between millennials' impression-relevant and outcome-relevant involvement and purchase/use behaviors regarding mobile technology, focusing on three individual difference variables (status consumption, domain-specific innovativeness, and opinion leadership) and their moderating role between involvement and usage.
Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between millennials' impression-relevant and outcome-relevant involvement and purchase/use behaviors regarding mobile technology. The study focuses on three individual difference variables (status consumption, domain-specific innovativeness, and opinion leadership) and their moderating role between involvement and purchase/usage. The results indicate that millennial consumers with higher levels of domain-specific innovativeness and opinion leadership report a stronger relationship between impression-relevant and outcome-relevant involvement with mobile technology purchase and usage.

TL;DR: Three unknown larval specimens of an apparent species of Laccophilinae collected in Namibia were associated with the species Philodytes umbrinus (Motschulsky) using DNA sequence data, and the unknown larvae were assigned to P.Umbrinus.
Abstract: Insect life stages are known imperfectly in many cases, and classifications are based often on only one or a few semaphoronts of a species. This is unfortunate as information in alternative life stages often is useful for scientific study. Although recent examples of DNA in taxonomy have emphasized the identification of indistinguishable species, such sequence data facilitate the association of life history stages and hold considerable promise in phylogenetic analysis, evolutionary studies, diagnostics, etc. These concepts are discussed here and an example is provided from diving beetles (Dytiscidae: Coleoptera). Three unknown larval specimens of an apparent species of Laccophilinae collected in Namibia were associated with the species Philodytes umbrinus (Motschulsky) using DNA sequence data. An 806-bp portion of the gene cytochrome oxidase I was sequenced from the unknown larvae. Several identified adult specimens of species of Laccophilinae from Namibia were also sequenced, including two P. umbrinus specimens and specimens from four Laccophilus Leach species. Additional species of Laccophilus from other areas of the world also were sequenced, as were specimens of Agabetes acuductus (Harris), Australphilus saltus Watts, Neptosternus boukali Hendrich & Balke and a species of Laccodytes Regimbart. Parsimony analysis resulted in two most parsimonious trees with the unknown larva unambiguously resolved in a group with both adult specimens of P. umbrinus (bootstrap value = 100%). The average pairwise p-distance between the unknown larva and adult P. umbrinus specimens averaged 0.09% (0-0.14%), compared with an average divergence between other conspecifics in the analysis of 0.24% (0-0.82%) and an overall average divergence between species of 13.49% (1.90-19.86%). Based on this, the unknown larvae were assigned to P. umbrinus. The larvae are diagnosed and described and their relationship with other Laccophilinae is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that window dressers make a risky bet on their performance during a reporting delay period, which affects investors' interpretation of the conflicting signals and hence their capital allocations.
Abstract: We provide a rationale for window dressing wherein investors respond to conflicting signals of managerial ability inferred from a fund's performance and disclosed portfolio holdings. We contend that window dressers make a risky bet on their performance during a reporting delay period, which affects investors' interpretation of the conflicting signals and hence their capital allocations. Conditional on good (bad) performance, window dressers benefit (suffer) from higher (lower) investor flows compared with non�window dressers. Window dressers also show poor past performance, possess little skill, and incur high portfolio turnover and trade costs, characteristics which in turn result in worse future performance.

TL;DR: In this review, research on milking of diatoms is discussed and the main themes are (a) development of alternative methods to extract and harvest high added value compounds; (b) design of photobioreactors; (c) biodiversity and (d) stress physiology, illustrated with original results dealing with oleaginous diatom.
Abstract: The rise of human populations and the growth of cities contribute to the depletion of natural resources, increase their cost, and create potential climatic changes. To overcome difficulties in supplying populations and reducing the resource cost, a search for alternative pharmaceutical, nanotechnology, and energy sources has begun. Among the alternative sources, microalgae are the most promising because they use carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce biomass and/or valuable compounds. Once produced, the biomass is ordinarily harvested and processed (downstream program). Drying, grinding, and extraction steps are destructive to the microalgal biomass that then needs to be renewed. The extraction and purification processes generate organic wastes and require substantial energy inputs. Altogether, it is urgent to develop alternative downstream processes. Among the possibilities, milking invokes the concept that the extraction should not kill the algal cells. Therefore, it does not require growing the algae anew. In this review, we discuss research on milking of diatoms. The main themes are (a) development of alternative methods to extract and harvest high added value compounds; (b) design of photobioreactors; (c) biodiversity and (d) stress physiology, illustrated with original results dealing with oleaginous diatoms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate similar antecedents to a firm's orientation toward environmental issues and threats and the subsequent business performance and find that firms responsive to eco-oriented issues perform better in the market place.
Abstract: Jaworski and Kohli’s (1993) framework and research outlining antecedents and consequences of an organization’s market orientation found that market oriented firms are more profitable. In this research we investigate similar antecedents to a firm’s orientation toward environmental issues and threats (i.e., its eco-orientation) and the firm’s subsequent business performance. Importantly, the findings suggest that firms responsive to eco-oriented issues perform better in the market place. Results provide important implications for corporate culture, public policy, and organizational theory.
