Purpose The development of e-grocery allows people to purchase food online and benefit from home delivery service. Nevertheless, a high rate of failed deliveries due to the customer’s absence causes significant loss of logistics efficiency, especially for perishable food. The purpose of this...

Heavily Er3+-doped TeO2–BaF2–La2O3–LaF3 (TBLL) glasses with low hydroxyl absorption (αOH−≈0.025cm−1 ) and high glass transition temperatures (Tg437℃) were prepared. The Raman spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves were measured to characterize the structural...

Policy makers in developing countries, including India, are increasingly sensitive to the links between spatial transformation and economic development. However, the empirical knowledge available on those links is most often insufficient to guide policy decisions. There is no shortage of case...

It is assumed that added time to export adds cost to and lowers the volume of trade. Time delays may also affect the composition of trade and can disproportionately reduce trade in time-sensitive goods. This paper investigates the validity of these propositions using the World Bank Doing...
