The Impact of Structure on Strategy Implementation Among Telecommunication Firms in Nigeria .

This study investigated the impact of structure on strategy implementation among telecommunication firms in Nigeria. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested to determine if there are relationships among selected dimensions of structure (centralization and specialization) and measures of strategy implementation (budgetary program implementation and resource control implementation). The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test the relationship via SPSS version 21. The results showed that centralization has insignificant positive correlation with budgetary program implementation and resource control implementation, (r = .117 and .111). Analyses also revealed that specialization has positive and significant relationships with the dimensions of strategy implementation with (r = .733 and .764). It was concluded that Centralized structure leads to slow pace of strategy implementation while Specialization structure enhances strategy implementation of the telecommunication firms. It was suggested that managers of telecommunication firms should encourage their employees to specialize on their jobs for an effective and efficient strategy implementation. Management were advice to adopt a decentralized structure in order to facilitate faster decision making. Furthermore, it was suggested that a similar study should be done to know the moderating role of leadership styles, and training and development.
Hubble Frontier Fields: predictions for the return of SN Refsdal with the MUSE and GMOS spectrographs

We present a high-precision mass model of the galaxy cluster MACS J1149.6+ 2223, based on a strong gravitational lensing analysis of Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HFF) imaging data and spectroscopic follow-up with Gemini/Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs (GMOS) and Very Large Telescope (VLT)/Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). Our model includes 12 new multiply imaged galaxies, bringing the total to 22, composed of 65 individual lensed images. Unlike the first two HFF clusters, Abell 2744 and MACS J0416.1-2403, MACS J1149 does not reveal as many multiple images in the HFF data. Using the lenstool software package and the new sets of multiple images, we model the cluster with several cluster-scale dark matter haloes and additional galaxy-scale haloes for the cluster members. Consistent with previous analyses, we find the system to be complex, composed of five cluster-scale haloes. Their spatial distribution and lower mass, however, makes MACS J1149 a less powerful lens. Our best-fitting model predicts image positions with an rms of 0.91 arcsec. We measure the total projected mass inside a 200-kpc aperture as (1.840 +/- 0.006) x 10(14) M-aS (TM), thus reaching again 1 per cent precision, following our previous HFF analyses of MACS J0416.1-2403 and Abell 2744. In light of the discovery of the first resolved quadruply lensed supernova, SN Refsdal, in one of the multiply imaged galaxies identified in MACS J1149, we use our revised mass model to investigate the time delays and predict the rise of the next image between 2015 November and 2016 January.
Neutron diffraction and magnetism of CoO antiferromagnetic nanoparticles

We report a study on neutron diffraction and magnetic properties ol cobalt oxide CoO antiferromagnetic nanoparticles with different sizes. The nanoparticles are composed by a structurally and magnetically ordered core and a structurally ordered and magnetically disordered shell with a thickness of about 2 nm. The ordered core has cell parameters, moments direction and modulus similar to those of bulk CoO. Small differences found are attributed to an increase of the oxidation of the nanoparticles with the decrease of size. A remanent moment Mr can be induced in CoO nanoparticles by crossing the transition temperature in the presence of a magnetic field, while the magnetic structure of the antiferromagnetically ordered moments of the nanoparticles core remains unchanged after field cooling within the experimental precision, suggesting that Mr arises in the magnetically disordered shell.
Stable Sets of a Strategic Public Good Provision Game

We consider stable sets of a simple and symmetric strategic public good provision game. In particular, we consider stable sets where each one consists of strategy profiles that provide an identical level of the public good. We completely identify the public good provision levels to be supported by the stable sets for each number of players. This identification induces the following two observations. First, the efficient public good provision level is always supported by a stable set. Second, the public good provision levels at the stable sets are no lower than that at the (unique coalition-proof) Nash equilibrium. In fact, the stable sets support strictly higher public good provision levels than that at the Nash equilibrium if there are more than two players. Further, we give a welfare comparison between the stable sets and the Nash equilibrium by employing the coefficient of resource utilization. JEL Classification: C79, H41
The Perception and EndogenousModulation of Pain

Pain is oen perceived an unpleasant experience that includes sensory and emotional/motivational responses. Accordingly, pain serves as a powerful teaching signal enabling an organism to avoid injury, and is critical to survival. However,maladaptive pain, such as neuropathic or idiopathic pain, serves no survival function. Genomic studies of individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain or paroxysmal pain syndromes considerable increased our understanding of the function of peripheral nociceptors, and especially of the roles of voltage-gated sodium channels and of nerve growth factor (NGF)/TrkA receptors in nociceptive transduction and transmission. Brain imaging studies revealed a “pain matrix,” consisting of cortical and subcortical regions that respond to noxious inputs and can positively or negatively modulate pain through activation of descending pain modulatory systems. Projections from the periaqueductal grey (PAG) and the rostroventromedial medulla (RVM) to the trigeminal and spinal dorsal horns can inhibit or promote further nociceptive inputs. e “pain matrix” can explain such varied phenomena as stress-induced analgesia, placebo effect and the role of expectation on pain perception. Disruptions in these systemsmay account for the existence idiopathic pan states such as �bromyalgia. Increased understanding of pain modulatory systems will lead to development of more effective therapeutics for chronic pain.
Vascular and Subcortical Dementia

Vascular dementia (VAD), a disabling loss of cognitive function caused by cerebrovascular disease [1], is the second most common cause of dementia in the USA [2]. In fact, around 15-20% of all dementia cases are caused by cerebrovascular disease after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). VAD has a prevalence of 1.5% in the general population, occurring almost exclusively in elderly adults. Understanding the causes and risks associated with the disease will help physicians provide treatment and support for patients as well as caretakers.
Donor e acceptor liquid crystalline conjugated cooligomers for the preparation of fi lms with the ideal morphology for bulk heterojunction solar cells

A series of novel donoreacceptor (DeA) liquid crystalline conjugated cooligomers, i.e. F3T4-epP, F4T6-epP and F5T8-epP, which comprise oligo(fluorene-alt-bithiophene)s (OFbTs) with the different lengths as the donor segments and a perylene diimide (PDI) derivative as the acceptor segment, were designed and synthesized. The cooligomers can form the films with the desired ideal morphology for bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells (PSCs). That means the films comprise ordered alternating DeA lamellae perpendicular to the substrates. Most importantly, the periods of the nanostructures can be tuned by varying molecular length and post-treatment condition. For F3T4-epP and F4T6-epP, the periods are close to the single and double molecular lengths upon thermal and solvent vapor annealing, respectively. However, only the nanostructures with the period close to the single molecular length were formed for F5T8-epP for both annealing processes. Solar cells based on above nanostructured films were fabricated to demonstrate the advantages of the ideal morphology for BHJ solar cells. It was found that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the devices was dependent on the molecular length and the order of the films. Solvent vapor annealed films exhibited the highest order therefore gave the best device performance. A PCE of 1.75% was demonstrated with the solvent vapor annealed films of F5T8-epP. This performance represents the best among the solar cells based on the single molecular materials. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Practical solutions for making models indispensable in conservation decision‐making

Decision‐making for conservation management often involves evaluating risks in the face of environmental uncertainty. Models support decision‐making by (1) synthesizing available knowledge in a systematic, rational and transparent way and (2) providing a platform for exploring and resolving uncertainty about the consequences of management decisions. Despite their benefits, models are still not used in many conservation decision‐making contexts. In this article, we provide evidence of common objections to the use of models in environmental decision‐making. In response, we present a series of practical solutions for modellers to help improve the effectiveness and relevance of their work in conservation decision‐making.
Impact of perceived experiential value on customer trust

Experiential value is defined as an overall representation of experiential benefits from the Entertainment, the escapism, the visual appeal, and the interactivity involved with online shopping. Value is based upon customer perceptions and not managerial judgments. In the current study we are trying to find how perception of perceived experiential value influence customer trust, as Trust has been identified as a one of the frequently cited reasons for customer not to shop online (Yang et al., 2009). The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of customer’s perceived experiential value on customer trust. While e-commerce in India has witnessed extensive growth in recent years, so has consumers‟ concerns regarding trust issues surrounding online shopping. The research on trust has made much progress in traditional retailing as well as online shopping. Therefore, the current study focuses on evaluating the effect of perceived experiential value on customer trust. The concept of experiential value is based on (Holbrook, 1999) is used. Anonymous data was collected from 200 online travel websites users. Correlation and multiple regressions were used to examine the objective of the study. Finding shows that the different type of experiential values is correlated with the customer trust. In terms of different factors ethics of the websites influences most the customer trust
Members of the ran family of stress-inducible small GTP-binding proteins are differentially regulated in sweetpotato plants

Abstract Ran is a small GTP-binding protein that binds and subsequently hydrolyzes GTP. The functions of Ran in nuclear transport and mitotic progression are well conserved in plants and animals. In animal cells, stress treatments cause Ran relocalization and slowing of nuclear transport, but the role of Ran proteins in plant cells exposed to stress is still unclear. We have therefore compared Ran genes from three EST libraries construed from different cell types of sweet-potato and the distribution pattern of Ran ESTs differed according to cell type. We further characterized two IbRan genes. IbRan1 is a specific EST to the suspension cells and leaf libraries, and IbRan2 is specific EST to the root library. IbRan1 showed 94.6 % identity with IbRan2 at the amino acid level, but the C-terminal region of IbRan1 differed from that of IbRan2 . These two genes showed tissue-specific differential regulation in wounded tissues. Chilling stress induced a similar expression pattern in both IbRan

Lactic Acid Bacteria as Vectors: A Novel Approach for Mucosal Vaccine Delivery

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) has been used in food industry due to its classification as food grade microorganism. It has been used for food production as well as preservation on large scale. It is also considered as promising bacterial strain due to its probiotic activity that confirms human health. Moreover, it also shows resistance regarding its survival in Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT). Therefore, use of LAB as delivery platform for drugs as well as production of recombinant protein is a challenging approach for researchers now a day. As, it not only reduces the production cost of drug, but also act as live vector to synthesize and deliver target or therapeutic protein of interest. Moreover, it is possible to produce different proteins from same bacteria simultaneously. Thus altogether, this approach has not only provided an alternative option for intravenous administration of recombinant protein but also gives an alternative insight for delivery system of mucosal vaccine. This review aims to provide an overview in order to use specific species of LAB such as lactococci lactis and Lactobacillus as vector for transfer of vaccine for mucosal as well as in recombinant form. Moreover, use of intron for desired genetic variation into target sites is explained to give directional insight for future studies.
Nonlinear Analysis of Type 1 Diabetes Models by Differential Geometric Approach

Abstract The control of physiological systems is a highly demanding task. The requirements are strict and there is a little margin of error, since failure can directly endanger the patient's life. In the same time the performance of the available sensors and actuators are limited in most cases, leaving even higher burden on the control algorithm. Finally the models themselves, which can describe the biophysical and biochemical processes that are most significantly linked to the system we wish to regulate, are rather complex and nonlinear in nature. In general, linear model-based approaches are used, but linearization gives a first source of errors in the further development. The aim of this paper is to investigate two frequently used models describing the metabolism of the human body in case of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) from nonlinear control perspective: the model presented by Magni et al. (2009) and Hovorka et al. (2004). These models will be investigated using differential geometric approach for the first time.
Interactions between the survival of escherichia coli and the physico-chemical properties in Malaysia dredged marine soils

Knowing the survival of Escherichia coli (E. coli) is important in evaluating the fecal contamination level in dredged marine soils. The significant factors in the survival of E. coli in dredged marine soils are important to know because marine soils can act as reservoir for bacteria. The soils physico-chemical properties are likely to affect the survival of bacteria. In fact, the relationship between soil characteristic such as type of soil, particle sizes, pH, moisture content and organic matter were related with the pattern of bacteria concentration. A study was conducted on the physico-chemical properties of marine soils samples dredged from two different dredging sites in Peninsular Malaysia. The results of the present study show that physico-chemical properties of the dredged marine soil measured varied among two dredging sites. The soils with finer fraction, high in pH, moisture content and organic matter appear to have high concentration of bacteria.
Evaluation of Ligamentotaxis in Management of Comminuted Intra-articular Fractures of Distal Radius Using Spanning Naseerâ€“Awais (NA) External Fixator

Abstract Background: Comminuted intra-articular distal ra-dius fractures are the most common amongst the frac-tures of the upper limb. There are various methods of management of comminuted intra-articular fractures of distal radius published in the orthopaedic literature, these are closed reduction and plaster cast application, closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation, closed reduction percutaneous pin fixation with plaster cast application, ligamentotaxis with application of exter-nal fixation across the wrist joint and open reduction and internal fixation. Objective: Objectives of this study were to evaluate the ligamentotaxis for the treatment of comminuted intra-articular fractures of distal radius and compare the prescribed data for comparison with similar series in the orthopaedic literature. Methodology: During this study 30 skeletally mature patients with comminuted intra-articular fractures of distal radius attending outpatient department or ortho-paedic emergency of Lahore General Hospital, Lahore, with less than one week duration were admitted in the hospital. They were examined clinically. Radiographs were taken and diagnosis was confirmed. Patients with open fractures or with multiple injuries were excluded from the study. Patients were administered general anesthesia. Skin distal to the elbow was prepared with antiseptic iodine solution and draping was done. Clo-sed reduction of the fracture was done and N. A exter-nal fixator was applied across the wrist joint. Distrac-tion force was applied across the fracture site by elon-gation of threaded rod of external fixator. This distrac-tion force was maintained till union of the fracture according to the principle of ligamentotaxis. All the patients were examined in outpatient department at regular intervals. Data of this study was recorded for comparison of similar series in recent orthopaedic lite-rature. Results: There were no serious complications in our study. Six patients (20%) developed mild pin tract in-fections these were treated by oral antibiotic therapy. One patient (3.3%) developed aseptic loosening of external fixator after three weeks. In this patient exter-nal fixator was replaced by plaster cast. One patient (3.3%) lost the reduction in which revision of external fixation was carried out. After removal of external fixator / plaster cast, a supervised programme of phy-siotherapy was started for restoration of the wrist and hand functions. Twenty two (73.3%) patients required physiotherapy for 1 week, 5 (16.7%) required for 2 weeks and 3 patient (10%) did not require it at all. Conclusion: We conclude that ligamentotaxis is an excellent method for the management of comminuted intraarticular fractures of distal end of radius. It obvi-ates the need of plaster cast application or open reduc-tion and internal fixation of the fracture and result of this study are comparable with similar series published in the orthopaedic literature. Keywords: Ligmaentotaxis distal radius fracture.
On the Essential Role of Kinetic Theory in Numerical Methods for Fluid‐Dynamic Equations

The essential role of kinetic theory in the numerical methods for the Navier‐Stokes equations (compressible and incompressible) is discussed. The easy theory of characteristics for kinetic equations brings about drastic simplification of approximate Riemann solver employed in various shock‐capturing schemes. The lattice Boltzmann method is shown to essentially solve an artificial compressibility PDE system. The asymptotic behavior of solution of kinetic equations for small mean free path does not play the essential role in these kinetic numerical methods.
A Study on Facial Expression Recognition Using Local Binary Pattern

How to get the proper combination of feature extraction and classification is still crucial in facial expression recognition, and it has been addressed conducted over two decades. Hence, if inadequate features are used, even the best classifier could fail to achieve the accurate recognition. Therefore, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is used as a feature extraction technique for facial expressions recognition where it is evaluated based on statistical local features. LBP is proven successful technique by the recent study due to its speed and discrimination performance aside of robust to low-resolution images. For the classification, Support Vector Machine is chosen, and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB and tested on JAFFE (Japanese Female Facial Expressions) database in order to achieve the objectives and the goal of this research which is to obtain high accuracy in facial expressions and identify the seven basic facial expressions. The performance of feature extraction and classification is evaluated based on the recognition accuracy. The observation on results obtained in facial expressions recognition rate indicated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm based on SVM-LBP features.
IAC-10.C2.5.8 SURFACE CONTROL OF ACTUATED HYBRID SPACE MIRRORS

This paper presents active surface control techniques for space mirrors. These techniques use adaptive optics concepts for correcting aberration in images due to air turbulence. Due to mirror surface error, a reference beam can be distorted and this error is measured by a wavefront sensor. A control system is used to provide input to the actuators based on the wavefront errors. This paper discusses the control techniques and experimental results for mirror surface control. This technology has great potential for reducing mission risk and cost for space telescopes with large mirrors.
