A Study on the Role of Food and Beverage Service Quality in the Preference of Air Transport Companies

The main purpose of this project is to find out if Turkish Airlines passengers’ preferences are related with the quality of food that is being served during flight. With this purpose, 432 passengers who are travelling with Turkish Airlines conducted a poll at Kapadokya and Kayseri Airports. As a general result, the quality of food and beverage services are effective on passengers while deciding which airway transportation company they will prefer. The research shows that as distance increases, passengers care more about food, hygiene, drinks and menu, quality of service equipments and cabin attendants’ service quality. Another results shows that passengers who mostly travels by plane cares more about food service and thinks that ticket prices should supply good food and beverage services. As research shows, non of the passengers thinks that tickets are cheap but high-income passengers think that prices are normal and also supplies food and beverega services.

β2M shuttle hypothesis in the dialysis related amyloidosis (DRA)

As well approved in current experimental studies over 20years or more, the intermediate molecules, i.e., the conformational variants of globular native protein, had been confirmed in the transitional process of the in vitro amyloidogenesis [1]. The presence of this molecule in hemodialysis (HD) setting had firstly reported in amyloid tissue from a femoral bone cyst in patient with the DRA by Bellotti’s group [2]. Then, we had identified this intermediate β2microglobulin (I-β2M) using with capillary electrophoresis (C.E) in serum not only from HD patients but also the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and healthy persons, then, we proposed “β2M shuttle hypothesis “ as amyloidogenic concept in clinical setting of HD [3,4]. This concept is based upon 5 evidences as follows:
Multimode Constant Power Control Strategy for LCC Resonant Capacitor Charging Power Supply Based on State Plane Analysis

A novel constant power charging strategy is proposed for LCC resonant capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) in this article, which combines the advantages of discontinuous current mode (DCM) and continuous current mode (CCM) to increase the charging speed of capacitor and the utilization of input grid capacity. In order to implement the multimode constant power control (CPC) strategy, a steady-state model of LCC series-parallel resonant converter is built by state plane analysis, and the analytical expressions for output voltage, average output current, and switching frequency are derived. By the analytical expressions, this control strategy directly determines the relationship of the output voltage and the switch frequency, so the frequency control curve of the pulse frequency modulation could be realized easily. Accordingly, the converter operating along the control curve can take advantage of high average and low peak current of CCM, small switching loss of DCM. Finally, the accuracy of LCC state plane model and the effectiveness of multimode CPC are verified by the simulation and a 2-kW CCPS experiment.
ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY/RESISTANCE PROFILE OF BACTERIA FROM FARM WASTES: FINDINGS IN EXCRETA FROM FOUR POULTRIES OF WEST CAMEROON

The present investigation was undertaken to address the trend of bacterial resistance to antibacterial agents in poultry and related consequences. Precisely, it was initiated to gather necessary information on bacterial communities in farms, the types of antimicrobial agents used and the susceptibility/resistance profile of bacteria to common antibiotics. Chicken excreta collected from four farms in Bafoussam and Bandjoun (two neighborhoods in the West Region of Cameroon) underwent microbiological analysis and susceptibility testing according to standard protocols by the CAS-SFM (2017). The overall picture from data analysis indicated that most common bacteria isolates belonged to three major groups: Enterobacteriaeae, Bacillus and Staphylococcus, members of which are potent etiologies of zoonotic infections and powerful engines for resistance traits selection and dissemination. Resistance to antibiotics like Oxacillin, Tetracycline, Co-trimoxazole and Ceftriaxone were common and invariably high, regardless of the bacteria group targeted. In further details, resistance rates were higher than 60% for 34%…
STEM QUALITY OF QUERCUS CERRIS TREES FROM KOSOVO FOR THE SAWMILLING INDUSTRY

Quercus cerris is an important species in the forests of Kosovo with a potential high economic value, although there is little information on the stem quality for the saw-milling industry. This study brings data on wood properties, particularly on heartwood, sapwood and bark development within Q. cerris trees grown in two sites in Kosovo, where mature trees were felled, and discs taken at different stem height levels. The average radial growth rate was 1.21 and 1.76 mm yr -1 for both sites. Heartwood decreased from the tree base upwards with a proportion of 53% and 43% until 5 m of height in the two sites. The radial width of sapwood was higher at the stem base (on average 44 mm) and afterwards approximately constant at 32 mm. The taper was low at an average 3.3 mm m-1 between 3.3 and 7.3 m of height. Bark represented on average 16.4% of the total stem cross-section and contained a substantial proportion of rhytidome (51% of the total bark area proportion at stem base and 41% at 9.3 m). Q. cerris in Kosovo showed good potential as a timber species for the supply of stem wood to the saw-milling industry, allowing good yields of heartwood-only sawn wood components. The bark should also be considered for complementary valorization.
Guided Reinvention as a Context for Investigating Students' Thinking about Mathematical Language and for Supporting Students in Gaining Fluency

Fluency with mathematical language is important for students’ engagement in many disciplinary practices such as defining, conjecturing, and proving; yet, there is growing evidence that mathematical language is challenging for undergraduate students. This dissertation study draws on two design experiments with pairs of students who were supported to encode their mathematical meanings with more formal language. I aimed to investigate the teaching and learning of mathematical language, and particularly the language in statements with multiple quantifiers, by engaging students in this type of activity. In the first paper, I investigated the complex ways in which the students in my study made sense of the grammar of statements with multiple quantifiers. This study contributes to the research literature in two ways. First, I showcased grammatical features that influenced the ways that students constructed and interpreted these statements. Second, I complemented the current static descriptions of statements with multiple quantifiers found in the literature with a dynamic understanding of these statements, which grew out of exploring the students’ thinking. The second paper is a case study of students reinventing the dynamical processes that are encoded with statements with multiple quantifiers. This paper offers a proof of concept of an instructional approach that engages students in defining multiple concepts and then reflecting on the resulting set of definitions to learn about the grammar of statements with multiple quantifiers. This paper also takes initial steps toward articulating a local instructional theory that frames the students’ reinvention process in terms of the emergent models construct from the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education. In the third paper, I explored the teachers’ role in ii supporting students in encoding their mathematical meanings with more formal language as the students engaged in defining and conjecturing. I used the conceptualization of the teacher’s role as a broker between the local community with students and the broader mathematics community. I offer episodes of brokering that supported students in refining their language. This paper’s contribution is a conceptual framework of brokering by leveraging pedagogical content tools and intellectual needs to support students in progressive mathematizing.
UTILIZATION OF NEW NUTRITIONAL RESOURCES IN RUMINANT FEEDING: 2) EFFECT OF USING DRIED DISTILLERS GRAINS WITH SOLUBLE (DDGS) AS PROTEIN SOURCE IN RATIONS FOR FATTENING BUFFALO CALVES

The present work was carried out to study the effect of using dried distillers grains with soluble (DDGS) as a source of protein in ration formulation of buffalo calves. DDGS was included in concentrate feed mixture (CFM) at 0, 11, 16, 21 and 27% to cover 0, 20, 30, 40 and 50% of total protein, respectively. Fifty male buffalo calves averaging 320.16 kg live body weight were randomly distributed into five similar groups (10 in each) and assigned to receive five concentrate feed mixtures containing five levels of DDGS. Animals were fed CFM along with berseem hay and wheat straw at the ratios of 70: 20: 10, respectively. The feeding trail lasted 184 days, during which, five digestibility trials were carried out to determine the digestibility and feeding values of the experimental rations. In addition, samples of rumen liquor and blood serum were taken to determine some ruminal and blood parameters. Also, feed and economical efficiencies were studied. The results showed that: and 2.89 Mcal/Kg DM for animals fed control ration. However, all experimental rations (containing DDGS) appeared to higher nutritive values than that of control ration. 3- The highest daily gain (1.170 Kg) was recorded with animals given ration E, which had 31.46% extra improvement and increase in weight gain. Also, animals fed experimental rations (B, C, D and E rations) tended to have better feed efficiency, showing the best feed utilization efficiency expressed as DM, TDN or DCP per Kg gain being 11.147, 8.586 and 1.392 Kg/Kg gain, respectively, for animals fed ration E. 4- Animals fed ration E (containing 27% DDGS) appeared to have the lowest feed cost/Kg weight gain (17.837 LE). The highest economical efficiency (1.233) versus the highest feed cost and lowest economical efficiency was observed with animals fed control ration (ration A). 5- All ruminal and blood serum parameters were within the normal values, showing that added DDGS in ration formulation of fattening buffalo calves had no adverse effects on serum parameters and led to get better performance of animals. Generally, it may be concluded that, the inclusion DDGS at 27% to cover 50% of total protein of concentrate feed mixture in fattening buffalo calves rations tended to produce better nutrient digestibility and feeding values. Moreover, animals fed rations containing DDGS had higher weight gains and lower feed cost with the best economical efficiency without any adverse effects on ruminal or blood serum parameters.
A universal rate of spread index for Australian fuel types

Empirical fire spread models for Australian fuel types date back to the 1950s-60s, with the work of Alan McArthur, and extend through to the current day with the most recent developments in shrubland fire spread models and refinements to the curing function in grassland fire spread models. These models are designed to provide a relatively simple and timely answer to the question: “Given a specific set of environmental conditions, what is the expected forward rate of spread of a fire? ” In this paper we present a critical analysis of the the current suite of fire spread models employed operationally in Australia. In particular, we explore the functional form and parametric dependence of these rate of spread models. We then introduce an alternative functional form for predicting rate of spread, which is remarkable parsimonious compared to current operational models. We further show that this single functional model can be used as a universal index for fire spread, by which we mean that the same model can be applied to different fuel types and produce numerical predictions that are practically identical to those produced by the existing suite of operational models used in Australia.
Bus drivers: Occupational stress and stress prevention

The first chapter of this working paper presents an overview and the main results of these studies. First an overview will be shown of the most important studies on the work and health of bus drivers (Section 1.1). Next, several questions will be dealt with: — What do we know about sickness absenteeism, work disablement and turnover of bus drivers (Section 1.2)? — What are the main health outcomes as mentioned by the drivers (Section 1.3)? — What are the psycho-physiological costs of driving a bus (Section 1.4)? — What are the main constraints in the working situation (Section 1.5)? — What is the ergonomic quality of the bus driver's cabin (Section 1.6)? The second chapter is directed towards the prevention of work stress in bus drivers. Many recommendations are given in order to reduce work stress. Several practical experiences from various bus companies demonstrate that it is possible to improve both the quality of work and productivity. These recommendations relate to ergonomics of the bus cabin (Section 2.2); job rotation and 'combination jobs' (Section 2.3); timetables, shift schedules and the quality of break periods (Section 2.4); and the social work environment and management style (Section 2.5). The third chapter shows how such a successful approach can be achieved.
Development and characterization of Ritonavir nanosuspension for oral use

The purpose of the present study was to prepare an acceptable nanosuspension of ritonavir by increasing the aqueous solubility, dissolution and hence oral bioavailability. Ritonavir is having low aqueous solubility and high permeability which can be considered as drug belonging to class-II according to BCS. In this study nanosuspension technology was tailored to increase solubility and dissolution rate of ritonavir. Ritonavir Nanosuspension was prepared by Pearl milling technique using zirconium oxide beads as milling media, poloxamer 407 as a stabilizer. The prepared nanosuspension was characterized using DSC (Differential Scanning Colorimetry) and XRD (X-Ray Difractometry). The nanosuspension was further evaluated for drug release, redispersability, assay and for stability. The solubility and dissolution studies revealed that there was a considerable increase in the solubility and dissolution rate of ritonavir in nanosuspension formulation as compared to pure drug. Human acceptability studies of prepared placebo nanosuspensions were found to be acceptable when evaluated for organoleptic properties like odour, taste, smell and other characteristics like appearance and pourability.
Abondance et signification de l'eau dans les magmas mafiques. Développement de la spectroscopie vibrationnelle (Raman et Ftir).

L’eau joue un role majeur sur les proprietes des magmas. L’inclusion vitreuse piegee dans le mineral est un outil puissant pour quantifier son abondance dans les magmas aux stades pre-eruptifs. Cependant, de nombreuses etudes consacrees a l’analyse de l’eau dans les inclusions vitreuses font apparaitre 1) la necessite d’avoir une large base de donnees pour interpreter son evolution au cours de la remontee des magmas vers la surface et 2) les evolutions post-piegeages que peuvent subir les inclusions et affectant leur signature initiale. Dans ce travail nous avons cherche quantifier l’eau par micro-spectroscopie Raman dont la resolution spatiale est bien adaptee a l’etude des inclusions. Une large partie de la these est consacree au developpement de la spectroscopie Raman. Nous proposons une methode permettant de comprendre, controler et quantifier les differents effets de matrice pouvant affecter les procedures d’analyse quantitative de l’eau. Cette methode a ensuite ete testee sur des inclusions vitreuses de composition variable (trachyandesite, basalte, basanite) et validee par une comparaison avec la spectroscopie infrarouge. Les nouveaux coefficients d’absorptivite infrarouge determines pour les compositions mafiques couplees aux donnees de la litterature nous ont aussi permis d’identifier l’evolution de ces coefficients en fonction de la chimie des verres. Nous avons ensuite etudie specifiquement la signature des teneurs en eau dissoutes des inclusions, de composition basanitique, piegees dans les olivines des produits de La Sommata (Vulcano, arc Eolien). Apres une campagne d’echantillonage, nous avons realise une etude fine de la composition (elements majeurs et volatils dissous CO2, S, Cl) des inclusions et de leurs olivines hotes a l’etat naturel ou soumises experimentalement a de hautes temperatures (1200 et 1275°C) a 1 atmosphere. Les resultats chimiques et isotopiques (δD) demontrent la fidelite de ces inclusions pour tracer le caractere primaire et hydrate de ces magmas basanitiques lorsque l’histoire de cristallisation est simple.
