Reassessment of the Entrepreneurship Orientation and Marketing Performance: The Emerging Role of Market Sensing Capability

This research aims at developing a model and investigating the effect of entrepreneurship orientation which is mediated by the roles of market sensing capability, creative product development, and knowledge creation capacity on the improvement of marketing performance. This research arises from a controversy of the previous researches on the effect of entrepreneurship orientation towards business performance where many researchers claim to have found positive effects, while some others find no influence. Innovation is always associated with a company’s capability in developing the products and services; however, the company must be painstaking to the risk of failure of the innovation done if the new products and services are not in accordance with the market expectations. The company must be able to identify its customers properly and the existing competitors by becoming a market-oriented company through the mastery of market sensing and customer-linking capabilities. The data collection was done with survey through structured questionnaires with a ten-point of Likert scale. The questionnaires were submitted from 150 respondents of SMEs’ owners or managers in Yogyakarta and Solo. The data were then analyzed with Structural Equation Model (SEM). Key-words : entrepreneurship orientation, market sensing capability, product development, knowledge creation, marketing performance
Optimal assignment for carpooling - DRAFT

Car pooling is a service which encourages citizens to share vehicles while driving to common, or nearby destinations. The problem has been deﬁned and approached from many points of view. We propose here a new, simple, integer linear programming formulation, as well as an equivalent graph theoretic formulation. We prove that this formulation of the problem is NP-hard, even in the case that every car allows at most two passengers, except for the driver. If, on the other hand, the set of drivers and cars are known, then the car pooling problem is tractable: we give an algorithmic proof and a characterization theorem in the spirit of Hall’s theorem for matchings in bipartite graphs.
Plant-Available Nitrogen from Poultry Manure as Affected by Time of Application

Appropriate poultry manure management is essential to ensure maximum crop N utilization and reduce risk of negative environmental impact. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three application times (late fall, winter, and spring pre-plant) on N availability from two sources of poultry manure [chicken (Gallus domesticus) and turkey (Melleagris gallopavo)] for corn (Zea mays L.) production. Manure was applied based on total N, intending to supply 84 and 168 kg total N ha -1 . Urea fertilizer was applied at the same time as the manure at six rates (0,34,67,100,134,168 kg N ha -1 ). Soil classification used for the study was primarily Clarion (fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, mesic Typic Hapludolls) and Nicollet (fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, mesic Aquic Hapludolls). Effect of application timing was determined by response in grain yield, grain N uptake (GNU), leaf chlorophyll meter (CM) reading, and soil N03--N measured in early June. Soil NO 3 - -N concentrations were greater for manure and fertilizer N applied in spring compared with fall and winter application, but the same for both poultry manure sources. Grain yield, GNU, and CM reading response to manure N were not different among either poultry manure sources or application timings. Furthermore, estimated manure plant N availability was not different among poultry manure sources or time of application. Overall first year crop-available N from poultry manure, based on fertilizer N equivalence, using grain yield, GNU, and CM readings was estimated at 43 to 53% of total N. The supply of available N to corn was not affected by poultry manure application timing despite different lengths of time to crop uptake or delayed incorporation with winter application.
Precise surface gravitites of A-type stars from Asteroseismology

δ Sct are one of the most abundant pulsating stars in our Galaxy. In addition, they have moderate to fast rotations and periods of several hours. That makes them the suitable targets for studying the effects of rotation on stellar evolution. In this work, we show how to infer the mean density and the surface gravity of an A-type pulsanting star only from its oscillation frequencies. To do this, we used a separation between frequencies, known as large separation, which is proportional to the stellar mean density. This is the first step towards a reliable mode identification of their oscillation modes.
MOLECULAR-GENETIC STUDIES FOR HCV INFECTION

Background. HCV infection is a dangerous disease that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are several genotypes and many subtypes of the virus. Yet, the prevalence of each type and subtype is largely varies throughout the world. Furthermore, the sensitivity for the treatment and aggressiveness of one type of the virus widely differs compared to another one. Methods. 120 patients were examined with chronic viral hepatitis C hospitalized from 2002 to 2009 at the clinic of the Research Institute of Virology and at the 5 City Clinical Infectious Disease Hospital. All participants of the study experienced a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination during the dynamic observation. Results.The obtained research results showed that 1b and 1a genotypes cause a more pronounced necrotic inflammatory process in hepatocytes. This fact proves the more aggressive antigenic and pathogenic properties of the 1b and 1a genotypes in comparison with the 2a, 3a and 1b + 3a genotypes of HCV. Conclusion. Specific characteristics of the HCV were observed in the patients with different genotypes, which was reflected in clinical and laboratory changes in HCV infection.
VOLTAGE STABILITY OF TRANSMISSION

This paper focuses on discussing, the transmission networks need to be browbeaten ever more completely. The transfer capacity of an existing transmission network needs to be increased without main reserves but also without compromising the security of power scheme. The more efficient use of transmission network has already led to a situation in which many power systems are operated more often and longer close to voltage stability limits. A power system stressed. Methodology: This search was carried on all articles, such as books and some Journals which help me for discussing the voltage stability. Read through the JSTOR website, IEEE have been used to get into this paper. Findings: Model originally refers to the disturbance of developing an amount archetype that precisely explain the lot of important characteristics and behavior (steady-state or dynamic) to be advised in the ability arrangement abstraction of interest. It as well includes anticipation the lot of acceptable ways to cover the load. Research Limitations/Implications: The limitation limited and the statistic are that is not easy to get the specific result of these factors. Moreover, the effected crossing the Voltage Stability has been as limited and how the activity could be affected. For instance, the results of the case analysis will then be analyzed in the proceeding chapter. As a case study, the chapter will look at voltage stability that exists in distribution systems. This is in the presence of a distributed generation. Finally, it is clear that the problem with voltage stability is usually concerned with the entirety of power systems but in essence, it is just one critical area where the problem is involved. Practical Implications: In this section the implication of In order to investigate the stability of transient voltage, a bolted three phased fault is applied. The clearing time for the fault is set differently for different distributed generation. The term voltage stability is used in power systems to refer to the ability of a system to maintain voltage under acceptable profiles when subjected to different load changes and system topologies. A system can be unstable because of the transportation of reactive power over long distances. Originality/value: This value for voltage stability can cause a system to collapse. At any point in time, the condition that operates a power system should be stable. There are various operational criteria that the system has to meet in order to function as required. Environmental and economic constraints make it possible to for power systems to operate nearer to their stability limits. It is therefore both important and challenging to maintain a system that is secure and stable. In recent years, planners and researchers of power system have concentrated much of their attention on voltage stability of systems.
A SURVEY: THE CURRENT TRENDS OF PRIVACY TECHNIQUES FOR PROTECTING THE LOCATION PRIVACY OF USERS IN LBS

With GPS-enabled devices and data connectivity now ubiquitous, Location Based Services (LBSs) have seemingly penetrated all aspects of our lives. While profoundly valuable, these services expose the user to a litany of privacy and security issues. LBS users must reveal their location, and at times other sensitive personal information, in order to effectively use the service and receive accurate results. This paper presents a survey of the current trends of privacy techniques employed in protecting the location privacy of users in LBSs. The paper further highlights the efficacy, or otherwise, of each technique discussed in this paper, with each technique having been evaluated based on accuracy, quality, efficiency, flexibility, location privacy, and query privacy. The outcome of this study is a taxonomy of current privacy and security techniques, which will assist researchers and developers as they look to further protect the sensitive information of their customer base.

Identifying and Quantifying the Economic Value of Coastal Ecosystem Services According to the Perceptions of Papuan Indigenous Peoples in Jayapura City, Papua Province, Indonesia

Coastal ecosystem services (CES) are benefits obtained by humans in the form of goods and services from coastal ecosystems. CES assessment is an important instrument for increasing appreciation and awareness public of the benefits and services produced by coastal ecosystems. This study aims to identify and quantify the economic value of CES (mangrove, coral reefs, and seagrass ecosystems) in the coastal areas of Jayapura City based on the perceptions of Papuan indigenous peoples. Data collection was conducted in March to April 2018 using the direct interview method based on the questionnaire to 228 respondents in Enggros, Tobati, and Nafri Villages, as well as 3 dive tourism businesses in Jayapura City. The CES value in Jayapura City is estimated to be around USD 5,424,116.49/year, which consists of service values of mangrove, coral reefs, and seagrasses ecosystems that are USD 4,444,707.00/year or USD 19,066.18/ha/year, USD 424,333.06/year or USD 11,303.49/ha/year, and USD 555,076.43/year or 5,008.36/ha/year, respectively. The service value of mangrove ecosystems is higher than that of coral reefs and seagrass ecosystems, especially in the value of direct benefits (fishery products) felt by the community. The value of CES as a provider of fishery products is quite high because of the high desire of the community to exploit and utilize natural resources such as fish, crabs, shrimp, and shellfish in coastal ecosystems to improve community welfare. Therefore, with the description of the CES value in this study, good coastal ecosystem management and integrated coastal area development policies are needed to maintain the quality of the environment and the sustainability of coastal ecosystems, as well as efforts to increase public awareness of the importance of coastal ecosystems that play an important role in improving welfare Papuan people.
Interactions of insecticides with biological membranes

Many insecticides (e.g. DDT, lindane, pyrethroids) are hydrophobic molecules which bind extensively to biological membranes. Binding of insecticides to phospholipid bilayers frequently shows saturation, with binding increasing with increasing insecticide concentration up to some limit, beyond which no further insecticide is incorporated into the bilayer. For lindane, this limit has been shown to correspond to the concentration at which the aqueous phase becomes saturated. Simple alkanes show similar saturation phenomena, and binding of halogenated alkanes can be followed by fluorescence quenching methods. It is shown that effects of hydrophobic molecules on bilayer fluidity are small. Effects of alkanes and insecticides on the activity of the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum follow from direct binding to the ATPase, at sites which are not at the lipid-protein interface of the ATPase.
Disaggregating Persistent Memory and Controlling Them Remotely: An Exploration of Passive Disaggregated Key-Value Stores

Many datacenters and clouds manage storage systems separately from computing services for better manageability and resource utilization. These existing disaggregated storage systems use hard disks or SSDs as storage media. Recently, the technology of persistent memory (PM) has matured and seen initial adoption in several datacenters. Disaggregating PM could enjoy the same beneﬁts of traditional disaggregated storage systems, but it requires new designs because of its memory-like performance and byte addressability. In this paper, we explore the design of disaggregating PM and managing them remotely from compute servers, a model we call passive disaggregated persistent memory , or pDPM . Compared to the alternative of managing PM at storage servers, pDPM signiﬁcantly lowers monetary and energy costs and avoids scalability bottlenecks at storage servers. We built three key-value store systems using the pDPM model. The ﬁrst one lets all compute nodes directly access and manage storage nodes. The second uses a central coordinator to orchestrate the communication between compute and storage nodes. These two systems have various performance and scalability limitations. To solve these problems, we built Clover, a pDPM system that separates the location, communication mechanism, and management strategy of the data plane and the metadata/control plane. Compute nodes access storage nodes directly for data operations, while one or few global metadata servers handle all metadata/control operations. From our extensive evaluation of the three pDPM systems, we found Clover to be the best-performing pDPM system. Its performance under common datacenter workloads is similar to non-pDPM remote in-memory key-value store, while reducing CapEx and OpEx by 1.4 × and 3.9 × .

To achieve the research goal, the descriptive method (survey) was adopted. The research population was composed of 744 all male and female teachers of secondary schools in East Jerusalem. A random sample of 80 male and female teachers from different scientific disciplines was selected. The research concluded that the degree of transparency in administrative communication is very low.
Developing Safety Leadership behaviours in a Latin American power generation company

Duke Energy International (DEI), is a subsidiary of Duke Energy, the largest electric utility in the U.S., owns, operates or has substantial interest in approximately 5,000 gross megawatts of electric generation, primarily in Latin America. DEI has embarked on an ambitious journey over the last few years to further improving safety leadership behaviours at all levels of the company, starting with their Executive team. Working in partnership with The Keil Centre, an Edinburgh based firm of Registered Psychologists & Ergonomists, DEI approached this by focusing interventions on one job level at a time. Using their Safety Behaviour Standard (which sets out the expected safety behaviours at all job levels) as a method to measure safety culture they put in place a series of initiatives and tools to improve safety leadership behaviours throughout the business. This paper discusses how they approached this and what they learnt.

Target Seedling Symposium Chapter 3 Target Seedling Concepts: Height and Diameter

The target seedling concept involves morphological and physiological seedling attributes which affect outplanting performance. Both morphological and physiological attributes are directly influenced by nursery cultural practices. Among the cultural practices which influence target seedling attributes are transplanting, growing density, and both root and shoot pruning. Morphological features, specifically height and stem diameter, currently provide the best estimate of seedling performance after outplanting. Diameter is the best predictor of survival, while height seems to predict height growth. Parameters such as root mass or number of laterals are also useful in assessing potential performance, but their utility diminishes as stem diameter increases above 5
ESTIMATION OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF POTATO (Solanum Tuberosum L.) PLANT BY SOIL AND LEAF ANALYSES GROWN IN PASINLER TOWN PLAIN OF ERZURUM

This study was conducted to determine the fertility potential of potato grown soils in Pasinler Town region of Erzurum cityto achive this a total of 42 soil (was performed to determine soil texture, lime content, soil pH, total salt, soil organic matter content ,cation exchange capacity (CEC) and macro and micronutrient concentrations) and leaf samples were collected (macro and micronutrient content) and analyzed. The results showed that 21,43%clay loamy, 16,67% sandy clay loam, 61,90% clay textureof the study area, respectively. Most of the soil pH measurements in the area fell between6,47-8,50 notral and slightly alkaline reactions. Soil organic matter content was deficient in all the region’s soils and approximately half of the soils were classed as saline soils. Deficiency of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, iron, zinc, and cupper was determined in 55.65, 35.86, 39.63, 29.24, 43.4, and 2.8 % of the soils, respectively. The analysis also showed a total soil Nitrogen (N) content and plant available nutrients (Calcium Ca. Magnesium Mg and Potassium. K) concentrations of soil samples in adequate proportions. Plant available nutrients such as Iron (Fe) and Cupper (Cu) were at suffecient levels. Also Lead (Pb). Nicel (Ni) and Cadmium (Cd) were not at toxic levels in plant and soil samples. Plant available nutrient such as Manganes (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Boron (B) was low in soils sampled from Pasinler town agriculture soils. Plant available P content is insufficient in plant leaf samples. As a result of this. potato plant leaves grown on PasinlerPlain soils recorded insufficient levels of Phosphorus ,boron, manganese and Zinc . The results indicates that growers should make an attempt to conserve and improve the current fertility status of the soils.
Bio Information Processing Trend: Deciphering microRNA Targets

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding regulatory RNAs that are important in post-transcriptional gene silencing (Bartel et al, 2004). They regulate gene expression by binding to 3' untranslated region (UTR) of their target mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression and play important roles in many biological processes. Since the discovery of the very first miRNAs, computational approaches have been invaluable tools in understanding the biology of miRNAs (Bentwich et al., 2005; Rajewsky et al., 2006). Web-based-miRNA databases have been constructed and provided not only thousands of published miRNA sequences and annotation (miRBase Sequences) but also potential miRNA target genes (miRBase Targets). However, most computational approaches associated with miRNA research are miRNA gene detection and miRNA target prediction. Researchers initially determined miRNA targets through experiments. However, due to the laborious nature of experiments and the absence of high-throughput experimental methods, it is inevitable to develop computational techniques to determine miRNA targets. In this paper, we summarize the principles to predict miRNAs and their targets, and introduce the currently available computational methods that have been developed for miRNA targets prediction.
