CERN has been providing central Windows remote desktops via the Windows Terminal Infrastructure service for several years and aims to provide a similar experience for Linux graphical environments. ...Different communities and experiments offer a series of tools to their users with this goal in mind, but the solutions are far from ideal and generate a support overhead for their respective providers. The Linux Applications Gateway project (LAG) was born to provide this functionality centrally from the IT department. After an extensive market research, the tool FastX was identified as an enabler, and to set up a closed, internal pilot for evaluation. These efforts led to the creation of the Remote Operations Gateway (ROG) service with a high approval rate. We aim to further extend the usage of FastX at CERN, reaching out to other communities and experiments, and to provide a better support coverage for them all.
Supramolecular chemistry is a comparatively young field that to date has mainly been focused on building a foundation of fundamental understanding. With much progress in this area, researchers are ...seeking to apply this knowledge to the development of commercially viable products. In this review we seek to outline historical and recent developments within the field of supramolecular chemistry that have made the transition from laboratory to market, and to bring to light those technologies that we believe have commercial potential. In doing so we hope we may illuminate pathways to market for research currently being conducted.
Supramolecular chemistry has successfully built a foundation of fundamental understanding. However, with this now achieved, we show how this area of chemistry is moving out of the laboratory towards successful commercialisation.
In the field of lithium-based batteries, there is often a substantial divide between academic research and industrial market needs. This is in part driven by a lack of peer-reviewed publications from ...industry. Here we present a non-academic view on applied research in lithium-based batteries to sharpen the focus and help bridge the gap between academic and industrial research. We focus our discussion on key metrics and challenges to be considered when developing new technologies in this industry. We also explore the need to consider various performance aspects in unison when developing a new material/technology. Moreover, we also investigate the suitability of supply chains, sustainability of materials and the impact on system-level cost as factors that need to be accounted for when working on new technologies. With these considerations in mind, we then assess the latest developments in the lithium-based battery industry, providing our views on the challenges and prospects of various technologies.
Abstract
The risk of non-competitiveness is a problem that companies face because anticipating changes can improve their market position. The characteristics of the branch often determine ...particularities at the level of technology evolution, and later, through the appropriate combination of factors, sources, and the effect of progressive changes in technology, there are possibilities to improve the company’s position in the market. The research carried out allowed us to determine an analysis of the risk of non-competitiveness through the evolution of indicators that measure this risk compared to the main competitor and the market average.

Research suggests that consumers are averse to relying on algorithms to perform tasks that are typically done by humans, despite the fact that algorithms often perform better. The authors explore ...when and why this is true in a wide variety of domains. They find that algorithms are trusted and relied on less for tasks that seem subjective (vs. objective) in nature. However, they show that perceived task objectivity is malleable and that increasing a task's perceived objectivity increases trust in and use of algorithms for that task. Consumers mistakenly believe that algorithms lack the abilities required to perform subjective tasks. Increasing algorithms' perceived affective human-likeness is therefore effective at increasing the use of algorithms for subjective tasks. These findings are supported by the results of four online lab studies with over 1,400 participants and two online field studies with over 56,000 participants. The results provide insights into when and why consumers are likely to use algorithms and how marketers can increase their use when they outperform humans.
