Abstract:
... The existing literature has largely discussed the sustainability potentials of product-service systems (PSS) business models, but most of them do not distinguish the sustainability of different PSS archetypes. This paper aims to investigate how different PSS archetypes may affect firms’ sustainability performance differently, and to identify the main reasons for the differences. We studied three m ...

Abstract:
... Blackspot bruise in potatoes can lead to enormous economic losses and pose threat to human diet, making an undesired damage that can be easily ignored due to its invisibility to human naked eyes. Susceptibility analysis addressing potato part (i.e. body, stem-end and bud-end) and volume (i.e. small, medium and big) was first carried out. Biospeckle imaging technique, possessing the merits of low-c ...
