Human Capital, Graduate Migration and Innovation in British Regions

With the aid of a geographical information system, our paper constructs a three stage least squares simultaneous equation model to investigate the interrelationships between the interregional flows of human capital, and the innovation dynamism of a region. In order to do this, we model the interregional migration behaviour of high quality British university graduates from university into first employment, and we relate these human capital flows to both the labour market characteristics and the knowledge characteristics of the employment regions. This is done for all industries and separately for just high technology industries. Our results indicate that for England and Wales there is a two-way causality between the interregional human-capital employment-migration flows of recent university graduates and the innovation performance of regions. However, the results for Great Britain as a whole depend on whether London is included and Scotland is excluded. We find little or no support for the argument that the presence of local universities or small firms promotes regional innovation.

A brief review of physiological roles, plant resources, synthesis, purification and oxidative stability of Alpha-linolenic Acid

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) comprising of 18 carbon atoms and three double bonds. Because the first double bond counted from the methyl terminus, is at position three, ALA belongs to the so-called n-3 group. Derived mainly from natural plants such as Linum usitatissimum and Perilla frutescens, it is an essential fatty acid for the human body. ALA is essential for the regulation of blood lipid, blood pressure and blood sugar, for the prevention of diseases and for the protection of retina and brain. It is the precursor of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are crucial for human health. This review summarizes the current knowledge on physiological roles, plant resources, and synthesis, purification and oxidative stability of ALA, providing the scientific basis for its sustainable development and utilization towards human health.
La creación de eventos integrados: El caso Cervezas Victoria en el Carnaval de Málaga

Los eventos se han convertido en la mejor forma de acercarse a los consumidores y usuarios de marcas. En la presente investigación se exponen los antecedentes y la metodología sobre la creación de eventos integrados, propuesta por Galmés y Argudo (2016) así como la evolución de las estrategias de comunicación de marketing hacia la integración de canales y la creación de experiencias. Se pretende exponer dicha tendencia a través del ejemplo del caso de la Cervezas Victoria en el Carnaval de Málaga analizando la campaña llevada a cabo por la cervecera en 2019. Dicha campaña combina medios off con medios on, que se convierten una vez más en los grandes difusores y transmisores de los valores de la marca. Dichos valores se trasladan de la marca al acontecimiento de la ciudad y viceversa, fusionándose y dotándose mutuamente de nuevos matices comunicacionales. Dichos matices y resultados se exponen en las conclusiones de esta investigación.

Adaptive Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control For a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

A stable adaptive interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear systems is investigated. The method is based on interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2 FLS) to approximate unknown nonlinear functions. The use of this type-2 control requires an additional operation which is the type reduction, in comparing with typ-1 control. The proposed controller use singleton fuzzifier, product inference engine, center of sets type reduction and average defuzzifier. Based on the Lyapunov method, we design the adaptive interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control with mathematical proofs for stability and convergence of the closed-loop system. Two nonlinear system simulation examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the (IT2 FLS) that is introduced.
Molecular-line inventory of the envelope around the largest known star

Aims. The study of the molecular gas in the circumstellar envelopes of evolved stars is normally undertaken by observing lines of CO (and other species) in the millimetre-wave domain. In general, the excitation requirements of the observed lines are low at these wavelengths, and therefore these observations predominantly probe the cold outer envelope while studying the warm inner regions of the envelopes normally requires sub-millimetre (sub-mm) and far-infrared (FIR) observational data. Methods. To gain insight into the physical conditions and kinematics of the warm (100–1000 K) gas around the red hyper-giant VY CMa, we performed sensitive high spectral resolution observations of molecular lines in the sub-mm/FIR using the HIFI instrument of the Herschel Space Observatory. We observed CO, H2O, and other molecular species, sampling excitation energies from a few tens to a few thousand K. These observations are part of the Herschel guaranteed time key program HIFISTARS. Results. We detected the J = 6–5, J = 10–9, and J = 16–15 lines of 12 CO and 13 CO at ∼100, 300, and 750 K above the ground state (and the 13 CO J = 9–8 line). These lines are crucial for improving the modelling of the internal layers of the envelope around VY CMa. We also detected 27 lines of H2O and its isotopomers, and 96 lines of species such as NH3 ,S iO, SO, SO 2 HCN, OH and others, some of them originating from vibrationally excited levels. Three lines were not unambiguously assigned. Conclusions. Our observations confirm that VY CMa’s envelope must consist of two or more detached components. The molecular excitation in the outer layers is significantly lower than in the inner ones, resulting in strong self-absorbed profiles in molecular lines that are optically thick in this outer envelope, for instance, low-lying lines of H2O. Except for the most abundant species, CO and H2O, most of the molecular emission detected at these sub-mm/FIR wavelengths arise from the central parts of the envelope. The spectrum of VY CMa is very prominent in vibrationally excited lines, which are caused by the strong IR pumping present in the central regions. Compared with envelopes of other massive evolved stars, VY CMa’s emission is particularly strong in these vibrationally excited lines, as well as in the emission from less abundant species such as H 13 CN, SO, and NH3.
Creating Shared Value at Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited in Bangladesh

The Creating Shared Value (CSV) concept (creating business value through creating social value by addressing societal unmet needs and challenges) has been appeared as a new way of doing responsible business in the world and formed the core of recent business research. The study strives to investigate reflective insights into the Porter and Kramer’s CSV concept taking evidence from Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (DBBL) in Bangladesh. The results show that DBBL has been creating shared value through its innovative products and services like mobile financial services, school banking, and agricultural, SME and environment friendly banking. The results also indicate that DBBL has been creating shared value along the three areas of Porter and Kramer’s CSV concept but mostly through reconceiving products and services, and redefining value chain to improve productivity. Taken as a whole, DBBL has been sharing its CSV with different stakeholders for mutual benefits.
Habitat Suitability and Bioenergetics of an Invasive Marine Fish (Pterois volitans) in Biscayne Bay, Florida

of a thesis at the University of Miami. As many successful invasive species display varying degrees of plasticity across spatial and temporal habitats, it is often difficult to assess the impacts of a nascent biological invasion on native flora and fauna. Using empirically supported environmental variables a comprehensive habitat suitability model for invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) in Biscayne Bay, Florida. The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a platform for the modeling process allowed us to quantify correlations between temporal (seasonal) fluctuations in the above variables and the spatial distribution of discrete habitat classes, whose ranges are supported by statistical deviations from optimal conditions described in prior studies. Building on this theme, we then apply the principles of bioenergetics to better understand how ambient environmental variables across newly invaded habitats impact metabolic function leading to growth and reproduction. Both of these models serve in conjunction to elucidate niche habitats and can led to better understanding of thresholds for prey availability and starvation mortality necessary to sustain individuals across environmental gradients. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Dynamic Model for Price of Wheat in Bangladesh

Wheat is the second staple food of Bangladesh. In this paper we constructed a dynamic model for wheat price. Basically we constructed a single equation autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model of the price (quarterly wholesale wheat price). Standard ARIMA analysis rests on the simplifying assumption that the time series is stationary. So, at first stationary of the series is checked. An ARIMA (1,1,0) (2,1,1)4 model is constructed based on the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions. Finally, forecasts are made based on the model developed.
Disrupted VLDL Features and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Sepsis

Gram-negative sepsis is an increasingly clinical syndrome triggered by exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or endotoxin. It is associated with a plethora of physiological and biochemical changes, known as acute-phase response (APR), including disturbances in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels (Khovidhunkit et al., 2004). Within the blood, LPS is extracted by the acute phase reactant LPS-binding protein (LBP) and transferred to CD14 receptor on monocytes and macrophages. The CD14 associates with Toll like receptor 4, myeloid differentiation-2 and other proteins forming a receptor cluster that leads to LPSinduced activation (Triantafilou & Triantafilou, 2005), resulting in the release of soluble mediators, such as proinflammatory cytokines. Kupffer cells (KC), the resident machrophages in the liver, secrete cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor ┙ (TNF-┙) and the interleukins (IL) IL-6 and IL-1┚, that act as paracrine factors on neighboring hepatocytes and promote many of the metabolic changes that accompany the acute-phase response. One of the most striking changes associated to sepsis is the accumulation of triglycerides (TG) within very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the plasma, partly ascribed to an increased hepatic VLDL production and a decreased peripheral metabolism driven by pro-inflammatory cytokines. These metabolic alterations, clinically termed as the “lipemia of sepsis”, have been postulated to be components of the innate defensive reaction against infection (Harris et al., 2000). In this chapter we summarize the actual knowledge on sepsis induced alterations in VLDL metabolism, lipids and apoB availability and the involvement of inflammatory mediators.
Application of remote sensing data for measuring freshwater ecosystems changes below the Zeya dam in the Russian Far East

Abstract. The large Zeya hydropower dam is located on the Zeya River, the largest left-bank tributary of the Amur-Heilong River in Russia. The dam had been constructed by 1980 and its operation has significantly transformed the flow regime of the Zeya River. The flow regulation has reduced the magnitude of periodic flooding of the floodplain areas located downstream from the Zeya dam and disrupted habitats of flora and fauna. An estimation of the transformation of the freshwater ecosystems is required to develop measures necessary either to maintain or restore disrupted ecosystems. Application of remote sensing methods allows measuring characteristics of the ecosystem's components. Two sections of a floodplain below the Zeya dam were considered for analysis in order to detect changes in objects at each site during the comparison of remote data from 1969/1971 and 2016.
Experimental Evaluation of Sliding-Mode Control Techniques

Sliding-mode control (SMC) is one of the robust and nonlinear control methods. Systematic design procedure of the method provides a straightforward solution for the control input. The method has several advantages such as robustness against matched external disturbances and unpredictable parameter variations. On the other hand, the chattering is a common problem for the method. Some approaches have been proposed in the literature to overcome the chattering problem. In the present paper, an experimental evaluation and practical applicability of conventional (first-order) sliding-mode control techniques are investigated. Experimental applications are performed using an electromechanical system for speed tracking control and disturbance regulation problems. The graphical results are illustrated and the performance measurements are tabulated based on time-domain analysis. The experimental results indicate the fact that the sliding-mode control is applicable to practical control systems with the cost of some disadvantages.
Secured GPS based Localization Protocol

Smart cities, smart villages, everything getting smart and so are the hackers. Networking has an important significance in the modern world of technology and securing it is as important as implementing it. The authors have proposed a Secured GPS Localization(SGPSL) protocol for the purpose of securing the location of the sensor nodes without compromising the resources. SGPSL provides two level security, first at the network authentication level and other at sensor level. To minimize the resource utilization mitigation is carried out. SGPSL is compared with existing GDOP[17] technique. It is observed that the bandwidth, and the energy consumed by the proposed work is 16%, and 19% respectively lesser then GDOP. The time secured is 5.3% lesser too.
Addition of wood chips in red wine during and after alcoholic fermentation: differences in color parameters, phenolic content and volatile composition

The effect of the time of wood chip addition on phenolic content, color parameters and volatile composition of a red wine made by a native Greek variety (Agiorgitiko) was evaluated. For this purpose, chips from American, French, Slavonia oak and Acacia were added in the wine during and after fermentation. Various chemical parameters of wines were studied after one, two and three months of contact with chips. The results showed that the addition of oak chips during alcoholic fermentation did not favor ellagitannin extraction and the reactions involved in tannin condensation and anthocyanin stabilization. Moreover, wines fermented with wood chips contained higher contents of whiskey lactones, eugenol, ethyl vanillate and acetate esters while their ethyl ester content was lower compared with the wines where chip addition took place after fermentation. Practical Application: The outcomes of this study would be of practical interest to winemakers since they could improve the control over the wood extraction process. When chips are added after fermentation wines seem to have a greater ageing potential compared to the wines fermented with chips due to their higher ellagitannin content and enhanced condensation reactions. On the other hand, color stabilization and tannin polymerization occur faster when chips are added during fermentation resulting in shorter ageing periods suitable for early consumed wines.
The fertilization of soybean with sulphur

Different sulphur fertilizers and influence of their foliar application on biomass yield of soybean were determined in vegetation pot experiment. Variants of fertilization included in the experiment were: 1. Control variant, 2. Thiosulphate sulphur, 3. Elemental sulphur and 4. Polysulphide sulphur. The significant highest average yield of biomass, 198 g per pot, was obtained after fertilization with thiosulphate sulphur. Thiosulphate sulphur has increased yield of biomass by 48 g per pot (almost 32%) compared to unfertilized control variant. Content of nitrogen in plants detected 20 days after fertilization was also highest on thiosulphate variant. Content of nitrogen detected in plants fertilized by thiosulphate variant was 0.92%, which is by 0.06% more compared to nitrogen content in unfertilized plants. The effect of elemental sulphur on yield of soybean biomass was not statistically different in comparison with control variant.

CooPs : A Cooperative Process Planning System to Negotiate Process Change Requests

SUMMARY In order to lead an ongoing software project to success, it is important to ﬂexibly control its dynamically-changing software process. However, it is generally impossible not only to exactly pre-deﬁne the production process but also to prescribe the process change process ( meta-process ). To solve the problem, we have focused on communication between the project staﬀ through which process change requests presented by individuals can be immediately shared, designed, veriﬁed, validated and implemented. This paper proposes a communication model which can represent a wide variety of communication states be-tween the project manager and developers discussing how to implement process change requests. The communication model has been derived by investigating the sort of process change requests and, based on the model, we have implemented a cooperative process planning system (called CooPs ). CooPs is a communication environment designed for software projects and supports information sharing for discussing the process change requests. By using CooPs , the software project can ﬂexibly deal with not only expected change requests but also unexpected ones. To evaluate the applicability of the communication model and the capabilities of CooPs , we have conducted an experiment which is an application of CooPs to the ISPW6 example problem. This paper describes the concepts of CooPs , the system implementation, and the experiment.

The use of genetic algorithms to maximize the performance of a partially lined screened room

This paper shows that it is possible to use genetic algorithms to optimize the layout of ferrite tile absorber in a partially lined screened enclosure to produce a "best" performance. The enclosure and absorber are modeled using TLM modeling techniques and the performance is determined by comparison with theoretical normalized site attenuation of free space. The results show that it is possible to cover just 80% of the surface of the enclosure with ferrite absorber and obtain a response which is within /spl plusmn/4 dB of the free space response between 40 and 200 MHz.

Impacts of international research on intertemporal yield stability in wheat and maize : an economic assessment

Critics of modern maize and wheat varieties (MVs) have suggested that, in developing countries, yields of these varieties vary more from season to season than yields of farmers’ traditional varieties, thereby exposing consumers and producers to greater risk. Drawing on country-level data for MV diffusion, as well as aggregate data on production and yields from FAOSTAT, this study makes novel use of the Hodrick-Prescott filter to disentangle changes in trend from annual fluctuations. The outcomes suggest that, over the past 40 years, the relative variability of grain yields—that is, the absolute magnitude of deviations from the yield trend—has declined for both wheat and maize in developing countries, and that the reduction is statistically associated with the spread of MVs, even after controlling for expanded use of irrigation and other inputs. At appropriate world prices, the annual benefits from improved yield stability alone are about US$143 million for wheat and about US$149 million for maize.
