An Empirical Study of How Both Environmental Awareness and Interest in Artwork Can Be Incorporated into the Interior Design of Urban Hotels

: Prior studies on urban hotel service settings show that the positive response to the lobby artwork and interior design in a hotel is a performance determinant since it directly impacts the orientation of green customers’ preferences who form a signiﬁcant part of the primary and secondary consumers outcome of emotional satisfaction. In addition, it elaborates on the importance of marketing strategy based on hotel interior design for urban hotels intending to increase customer loyalty. For this reason, the present study collected a total of 330 South Korean participants to identify the mediating role of hotel lobby interior design and artworks between green customers’ preferences and hotel loyalty. The survey instrument designed for the current study included 15 questions to test the hypotheses and a path analysis using AMOS 24.0 was conducted as the main tool to determine the relationship key factors. According to our statistical ﬁndings, it is acceptable to relate the customers’ environmental awareness with interest in artwork in the hotel lobby due to the ﬁrst impression created. The artwork gives a general perception of the value and quality that the consumer is likely to gain by interacting with the available products and services. It is also valid to indicate that the customers’ environmental awareness closely relates to their preference for interior design to develop customer loyalty. Therefore, we conclude that the environmental awareness and hotel loyalty factors impact the marketing strategy and segmentation process used for the urban hotels that deal with green customers with unique and exclusive needs.
Growth rates and relative change in non-structural carbohydrates of dipterocarp seedlings in 2 response to light acclimation 3

61 Background: Light is a driver of tropical forest dynamics and key to understanding the coexistence 62 of dipterocarps, and how their key demographic rates and traits trade-off with acclimation to light. 63 Aims: Seedlings were expected to invest carbohydrates into denser wood at the cost of a lower 64 growth rate and to allocate resources to either growth or storage in response to light changes. 65 Methods: We examined the relationship between size-specific growth rates (SGR), wood density 66 and total non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentration under experimental shade house 67 conditions. 68 Results: Based on their functional response to light acclimation we grouped dipterocarps into light 69 demanders, shade-tolerants and a generalist species. Light demanders respond to a simulated gap 70 opening with increased growth, whereas shade-tolerants and the generalist show a higher relative 71 change in wood density and NSC concentration, including starch and water soluble carbohydrates. 72 Iditol–a hitherto unknown alditol in dipterocarps–was identified across all six species, and the 73 generalist responded to a gap opening with a significantly reduced relative change in alditol 74 concentration compared to light demanders and shade-tolerants. 75 Conclusions: Selected dipterocarps can be grouped into light demanders and shade-tolerants based 76 on their acclimation to light, however, the generalist species did not follow the proposed growth- 77 storage trade-off. 78
Epigenetics: Diet and Cancer

Epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA interference (RNAi) provide a significant impact on human health and disease development. Changes in epigenetic functions result in disturbance in gene regulation and aberrant gene expression, which strongly contributes to progression of various types of cancers. The reversible nature of epigenetic functions has made them attractive as targets for drug development. In this context, DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors have been targeted against cancers. RNAi, specifically microRNAs (miRNAs) have demonstrated differential expression including up-regulation and down- regulation in a number of cancers. Furthermore, miRNA levels in biofluids (serum and urine) provide opportunities for diagnostic applications of epigenetics. Nutrition has been demonstrated to have a substantial impact on epigenetic mechanisms. Dramatic changes in dietary intake have been shown to affect epigenetic functions and might provide the means for a significant reduction in cancer risk and also may contribute to disease prevention. Furthermore, revision of diet in cancer patients has resulted in changes in gene expression, which can enhance therapeutic efficacy. Especially, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, fish and fibers and reduction in consummation of red meat have influenced the epigenome and thereby provide both prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy.
Brainwave-based Mood Classification Using Regularized Comm

In this paper, a method of mood classification based on user brainwaves is proposed for real-time application in commercial services. Unlike conventional mood analyzing systems, the proposed method focuses on classifying real-time user moods by analyzing the user’s brainwaves. Applying brainwave-related research in commercial services requires two elements - robust performance and comfortable fit of. This paper proposes a filter based on Regularized Common Spatial Patterns (RCSP) and presents its use in the implementation of mood classification for a music service via a wireless consumer electroencephalography (EEG) device that has only 14 pins. Despite the use of fewer pins, the proposed system demonstrates approximately 10% point higher accuracy in mood classification, using the same dataset, compared to one of the best EEG-based mood-classification systems using a skullcap with 32 pins (EU FP7 PetaMedia project). This paper confirms the commercial viability of brainwave-based mood-classification technology. To analyze the improvements of the system, the changes of feature variations after applying RCSP filters and performance variations between users are also investigated. Furthermore, as a prototype service, this paper introduces a mood-based music list management system called MyMusicShuffler based on the proposed mood-classification method.
1 2 6 O ct 2 00 0 Geometry dominated fluid adsorption on sculptured substrates

Experimental methods allow the shape and chemical composition of solid surfaces to be controlled at a mesoscopic level. Exposing such structured substrates to a gas close to coexistence with its liquid can produce quite distinct adsorption characteristics compared to that occuring for planar systems, which may well play an important role in developing technologies such as super-repellent surfaces or micro-fluidics. Recent studies have concentrated on adsorption of liquids at rough and heterogeneous substrates and the characterisation of nanoscopic liquid films. However, the fundamental effect of geometry has hardly been addressed. Here we show that varying the shape of the substrate can exert a profound influence on the adsorption isotherms allowing us to smoothly connect wetting and capillary condensation through a number of novel and distinct examples of fluid interfacial phenomena. This opens the possibility of tailoring the adsorption properties of solid substrates by sculpturing their surface shape. The interaction of a gas with a solid surface is usually mediated by an adsorbed (microscopically thin) layer of liquid which is ultimately responsible for the rich behaviour of the solid-gas interface. When the gas coexists with its liquid, an increase in the temperature is accompanied by an increase in the thickness of this adsorbed layer which attains macroscopic character at the wetting temperature Tw. At this temperature, the contact angle of a macroscopic drop placed on the surface vanishes and the liquid, which is said to wet that solid surface, spreads. Alternatively, this situation can be reached for a fixed temperature T above Tw (but below the critical temperature Tc) by increasing the pressure towards the coexistence value pco(T ) or, equivalently, by increasing the chemical potential towards μco(T ) (see Fig. 1). This phase transition, known as complete wetting, has been intensely studied for fundamental as well as for important technological reasons. Theoretical predictions confirmed by experiments have shown that the thickness lπ of the adsorbed layer diverges when it approaches coexistence with a non-universal exponent βco which is dependent on the range of the (solid-fluid and fluid-fluid) particle interactions involved in the system: lπ∼|∆μ| −βco , where ∆μ≡μ−μco is the chemical potential (relative to the chemical potential at coexistence) which, for dilute gases, is related to the partial pressure by ∆μ = kBT log(p/pco(T )) where kB is Boltzmann’s constant. This prediction, however, is restricted to planar solid substrates.

AS160 phosphorylation is associated with activation of (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 1 - but not (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 3 -AMPK trimeric complex in skeletal muscle during exercise in humans

AS160 phosphorylation is associated with activation of (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 1 - but not (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 3 -AMPK trimeric complex in skeletal muscle during exercise in humans. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 292: E715–E722, 2007. October 31, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00380. 2006. —We investigated time- and in-tensity-dependent effects of exercise on phosphorylation of Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) in human skeletal muscle. Subjects performed cycle exercise for 90 min (67% V˙ O 2 peak , n (cid:4) 8), 20 min (80% V˙ O 2 peak , n (cid:4) 11), 2 min (110% of peak work rate, n (cid:4) 9), or 30 s (maximal sprint, n (cid:4) 10). Muscle biopsies were obtained before, during, and after exercise. In trial 1 , AS160 phosphorylation increased at 60 min (60%, P (cid:4) 0.06) and further at 90 min of exercise (120%, P (cid:5) 0.05). (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 3 -AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity increased signiﬁcantly to a steady-state level after 30 min, whereas (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 1 -AMPK activity increased after 60 min of exercise with a further signiﬁcant increase after 90 min. (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 1 -AMPK activity and AS160 phosphorylation correlated positively ( r 2 (cid:4) 0.55). In exercise trials 2, 3, and 4 , (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 3 -AMPK activity but neither AS160 phosphorylation nor (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 1 -AMPK activity increased. Akt Ser 473 phosphorylation was unchanged in all trials, whereas Akt Thr 308 phosphorylation increased signiﬁcantly in trial 3 and 4 only. These results show that AS160 is phosphorylated in a time-dependent manner during moderate-intensity exercise and suggest that (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 1 - but not (cid:1) 2 (cid:2) 2 (cid:3) 3 -AMPK may act in a pathway responsible for exercise-induced AS160 phosphorylation. Furthermore, we show that AMPK complexes in skeletal muscle are activated differently depending on exercise intensity and duration. either 5% Tris (cid:1) HCl gels (Bio-Rad Denmark) or self-cast 7.5% gels and transferred to polyvinylidene diﬂuoride membrane (Immobilon Transfer Membrane; Millipore Denmark). Membranes were blocked in washing buffer (10 mM Tris base, 150 mM NaCl, 0.25% Tween 20) containing 2% low-fat milk protein for 1 h at room temperature. Membranes were then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (DAKO; Denmark) for 1 h at room temperature. Bands were visualized using a Kodak Image Station (2000MM; Kodak Denmark) and enhanced chemilumines- cence (Millipore). Immunoreactive proteins were quantiﬁed (Kodak 1D 3.6 software), and results were expressed in relative units in comparison with control samples loaded on each gel. For all Western blots performed, it was ensured that the signal obtained was within the dynamic range of the analysis.
BDNF SNPs are implicated in alcohol dependence in schizophrenia but not in alcohol dependent patients without schizophrenia

Aims : The functional BDNF single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6265 has been associated with many disorders including schizophrenia and alcohol dependence. However, studies have been inconsistent, reporting both positive and negative associations. Comorbid alcohol dependence has a high prevalence in schizophrenia so we investigated the role of rs6265 in alcohol dependence in Australian populations of schizophrenia and alcohol dependent patients. Methods : Two BDNF SNP s rs6265 and a nearby SNP rs7103411 were genotyped in a total of 848 individuals. These included a schizophrenia group (n = 157) and a second schizophrenia replication group (n = 235), an alcohol dependent group (n = 231) that had no schizophrenia diagnosis and a group of healthy controls (n = 225). Results: Allelic association between rs7103411 and comorbid alcohol dependence was identified ( P = 0.044) in the primary schizophrenia sample. In the replication study, we were able to detect allelic associations between both BDNF SNPs and comorbid alcohol dependence (rs6265, P = 0.006; rs7103411, P = 0.014). Moreover, we detected association between both SNPs and risk-taking behaviour after drinking (rs6265, P = 0.005; rs7103411, P = 0.009) and we detected strong association between both SNPs and alcohol dependence in males (rs6265, P = 0.009; rs7103411, P = 0.013) while females showed association with multiple behavioural measures reflecting repetitive alcohol consumption. Haplotype analysis revealed the rs6265-rs7103411 A/C haplotype is associated with comorbid alcohol dependence ( P = 0.002). When these SNPs were tested in the non-schizophrenia alcohol dependent group we were unable to detect association. Conclusion : We conclude that these BDNF SNPs play a role in development of comorbid alcohol dependence in schizophrenia while our data does not indicate that they play a role in alcohol dependent patients who do not have schizophrenia. The objective of this study to investigate the role of the BDNF SNPs rs6265 and rs7103411 in comorbid alcohol dependence in Australian populations of schizophrenia patients and in alcohol dependent patients without schizophrenia. Additionally, the effects of gender on the role of the BDNF SNPs in alcohol dependence in both groups were investigated.
Upstream Basal Promoter Element Important for Exclusive RNA Polymerase III Transcription of the EBER 2 Gene

The Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER) genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase III, but their transcription unit appears to contain both class II and class III promoter elements. One of these promoter elements, a TATA-like box which we call the EBER TATA box, or ETAB, is located in a position typical for a class II TATA box but contains G/C residues in the normal T/A motif and a conserved thymidine doublet. Experiments using chloramphenicol acetyltransferase constructs and mutations in the TATA box of the adenovirus major late promoter showed that the ETAB promoter element does not substitute for a class 11 TATA box. However, when the ETAB promoter element sequence was changed to a class 1I TATA box consensus sequence, the EBER 2 gene was transcribed in vitro by both RNA polymerases 11 and III. From these results, we conclude that the ETAB promoter element is important for the exclusive transcription of the EBER 2 gene by RNA polymerase III.
Length-Length, Length-Weight Relationships and Condition Factors of Some Anatolian Oxynoemacheilus seyhanensis (Bănărescu, 1968) Populations

This study was conducted to provide length-weight (LWRs), length-length (LLRs) relationships and condition factor of Oxynoemacheilus seyhanensis from seven habitats belonging to three inland water basins of Turkey. A total of 166 specimens were collected from Yıldızeli, Taşköprü, Suşehri (Kızılırmak basin), Büyükpotuklu, Pınarbaşı and Örenşehir (Seyhan basin) and Akdağmadeni (Yeşilırmak basin) rivers during 2017-2019. The mean (±SE) of the total, fork lengths and weight were calculated as 6.49±1.59 cm, 6.35±1.60 cm and 3.47±2.41 g, respectively. b constant of LWRs ranged from 2.29 (Suşehri) to 3.52 (Büyükpotuklu), showing growth pattern of positive allometric in all studied populations except Suşehri (negative allometric), Pınarbaşı (ısometric) and Örenşehir (isometric) population. Condition factor was ranged from 0.92 (Pınarbaşı) to 1.15 (Örenşehir). In all length-weight and length-length relationships with r 2 were higher than 0.91. The results of above-mentioned parameters for this deep-bodied stone loach showed that wide range of b-value shows morphological flexibility of this species in different habitats.
Harmonising and integrating existing exposure factors systems world-wide: feasibility study report

Exposure factors systems (e.g. handbooks, guidance documents, on-line databases) help categorising and summarising exposure factors (or determinants) which are commonly used in exposure assessments and risk analysis. The objective of this report is to analyse, based on pre-selected criteria, the exposure factor systems which have been developed worldwide in order to illustrate their commonalities and differences (in terms of design, capabilities, data sources, availability and usage, upgrading planning, domains of application, quality criteria and validation procedures, etc.) with the ultimate aim to identify the potential for their harmonisation, interoperability and integration.
Does Measuring Diet Quality Help in Predicting Health Outcomes?

Measures of diet quality help to assess dietary risk factors for non-communicable diseases in nutritional epidemiology. This paper is a review of the methods used across the world to assess diet quality and their use in predicting health outcomes. In most studies on disease prevention importance has been given to the role of individual nutrients or food groups. In a day people eat a combination of food items and not individual foods in isolation. Although several diet quality indices have been developed, there is no universal diet quality index in use. Most indices adhere to national dietary guidelines. Scores in the diet quality indices have been correlated with cancer, coronary heart disease and other cardio-vascular diseases. Data from longitudinal studies provide better insights. The limitations of such studies are the short time duration to show a cause effect relation between diet quality and health outcomes.
Functional efficiency evaluation for the elderly staying in nursing homes

lowing points: for 65-74 years 18,7+/-6,5 point; 75-84 years 19,5+/-5,0 point; 85 years and more 17,8+/-6,2. Conclusions: Better efficiency in basic and complex routine activities was typical for men. Efficiency decreases abruptly for both sexes in the oldest group. Worse results in efficiency tests were caused mainly by: age, (85 years and more), widowhood, a considerable grade of disability and depression symptoms.
Advanced separation technologies for pre-concentration of metal ores and the additional process control

A new sensor based sorting system has been developed at Comex, based on complex image analysis. The sorting system employs different images generated by visible light and X-ray to provide maximal information about processed particles. Application of X-ray makes it possible to analyse the internal structure of the particles, which provides a 2D image with the valuable information. The advanced system for the texture and the pattern recognition is applied to analyse these images simultaneously, to provide the required identification of the particles for efficient separation. The paper describes a number of tests during sorting of Cu-Zn-Sn ores with high separation efficiency. As an example, the Cu content is enriched from 0.4% to 1.25% and the Zn content is increased from 0.83% to 2.24%. In addition, the performance of the X-ray sorting system is described for enrichment of Zn-Pb ore and compared with the heavy media separation technology. Simplifying the pre- concentration through the use of the sorting technology can significantly reduce the cost of these operations. Finally, the operating data from the sorting system have been analysed regarding a potential use for controlling the plant operation. This can bring the new tools for control strategies for the complex processing plants.
Prevalence of iron deficiency with and without concurrent anemia in population groups with high prevalences of malaria and other infections: a study in Côte d‘Ivoire 1–3

Background: Iron deficiency is highly prevalent in most developing countries. However, its detection is often obscured by infections and inflammatory disorders that are common in the same populations. Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of iron deﬁciency with or without concurrent anemia in different population groups from Côte d’Ivoire and to evaluate the inﬂuence of infectious and inﬂammatory disorders on iron-status indexes. Design: Blood samples from 1573 children, women, and men were analyzed for hemoglobin, serum ferritin, zinc protoporphyrin, and serum transferrin receptor. C-reactive protein was used as the indicator of inflammation or infection, and samples were screened for malarial parasites and hemoglobinopathies. Iron deficiency was defined as 2 of 3 iron-status indexes outside the cutoff values, and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was defined as iron deficiency with concurrent anemia. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the influence of malaria and inflammation on iron-status indexes. Results: The prevalence of iron deficiency was 41–63% in the women and children and 13% in the men, whereas the prevalence of IDA was 20–39% in the women and children and 4% in the men. The detection of iron deficiency and IDA was obscured by the high prevalence of inflammatory disorders. Conclusions: Iron deficiency and IDA are highly prevalent in the women and children in Côte d’Ivoire. Iron deficiency was detected in (cid:2) 50% of anemic women and children, which indicates that hemoglobin alone is not a good indicator of iron status when inflammatory disorders are highly prevalent. The serum transferrin receptor is the most useful single indicator of iron deficiency because it was the only iron-status index unaffected by malaria or inflammation. Am J Clin Nutr 2001;74:776–82.
