TOURISM IMAGE AND TOURISM SLOGAN BASED ON DESTINATION BRANDING

Based on the development of the tourism destination brand,tourism image and tourism slogan are discussed and some new points of view are brought forward as follows: Firstly,tourism image can be classified into mind image and marketing image.Mind image is for the inner market and marketing image is for the outer market.Tourism slogan,which also can be classified into positioning slogan and marketing slogan,is used to express tourism image.Positioning slogan expresses mind image and marketing slogan expresses marketing image.Although positioning slogan is to express the mind image and focus on the inner market of a tourism destination,it can also be used to spread the tourism destination image and build the tourism destination brand.Secondly,from the point of view of tourism destination brand,tourism destination image is namely tourism destination brand image,which is an important part of a tourism planning.There are three steps in developing a tourism destination image planning which are establishing quality guideline,positioning mind image and designing marketing image.Thereinto,quality guideline is aimed at the inner market,marketing image is aimed at the outer market,whereas mind image is mainly aimed at the inner market and so do the outer market.Thirdly,tourism destination brand is a ladder of three steps,which are attribute,benefit,and value.Publicizing tourism slogan is an important way to build tourism destination brand,in which positioning slogan spreads the attribute of a tourism destination brand and marketing slogan spreads the benefit and value of a tourism destination brand.For the sake of producing more classical tourism slogans to enrich the meaning of a tourism destination brand,we should jump out of the eyeshot of tourism resource(destination attribute) and consider more from the point of view of visitor market.
Mutation of a palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC 18-like gene is 1 responsible for the minute wing mutation in the silkworm ( Bombyx mori ) 2

14 Pulpaland adult-stage minute wing (mw) mutants of the silkworm Bombyx mori have 15 much smaller wings than those of the wild type. Herein, we report the genetic and molecular 16 mechanisms underling the formation of the minute wing. Fine mapping and positional cloning 17 revealed that a palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC18-like gene (BmAPP)was responsible for the 18 mw mutation. CRISPR/Cas9 screening of the BmAPP gene in wild-type embryos revealed 19 that a significant proportion of adults had the mw mutation. In an mw mutant strain, u11, a 20 10-bp insertion in the promoter of a novel gene resulted in low-level translation of a protein 21 belonging to the DHHC family. A PiggyBac-based transgenic analysis showed that the 22 promoter induced the expression of aBmAPP gene promoter in the wild type but not the mw 23 mutant. These findings indicate that functional deletion of this gene promoter accounts for the 24 mw mutation in silkworm. The possibility that BmAPP gene is involved in Hippo signaling 25 .

An outbreak of oriental theileriosis in dairy cattle imported to Vietnam from Australia

SUMMARY This study reports an outbreak of oriental theileriosis in dairy cattle imported to Vietnam from Australia. Following clinical and pathological diagnoses, a total of 112 cattle blood samples were divided into three groups and tested using multiplexed tandem PCR. Group 1 were from aborted heifers in Vietnam; group 2 were from cattle before shipment from group 1 cattle and group 3 were from the same batch of cattle but transported to Taiwan. Theileria orientalis DNA was detected in 72·3% cattle. The prevalences of T. orientalis in groups 1, 2 and 3 were 77·6, 86·9 and 57·5%, respectively, and the difference in prevalence was significant between groups 1 and 3 (P < 0·0001). The infection intensities of genotypes chitose and ikeda of T. orientalis were higher in groups 1 (57 721 and 33 709, respectively) and 3 (5897 and 61 766, respectively) than those in group 2 (2071 and 6331, respectively). Phylogenetic analyses of the major piroplasm surface protein sequences revealed that genotypes chitose and ikeda determined herein were closely related to those previously reported from Australia. This first report of an outbreak of oriental theileriosis in imported cattle emphasizes improved measures for the export and import of cattle infected with T. orientalis.
Nucleotide sequence and expression in Escherichia coli of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa lasA gene

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO-E64 is a mutant which produces parental levels of elastase antigen but has no elastolytic activity at 37 degrees C. The lesion (lasA1) in PAO-E64 is not a mutation in the structural gene for P. aeruginosa elastase (P.A. Schad, R.A. Bever, T.I. Nicas, F. Leduce, L.F. Hanne, and B.H. Iglewski, J. Bacteriol. 169: 2691-2696, 1987). A 1.7-kilobase segment of DNA that complements the lasA1 lesion was sequenced. Computer analysis of the DNA sequence showed that it contained an open reading frame which encoded a 41,111-dalton protein. The lasA gene was expressed under an inducible PT-7 promoter, and a 40,000-dalton protein was detected in Escherichia coli lysates. The lasA protein was localized in the outer membrane fraction of E. coli. This lasA protein produced in E. coli activated the extracellular elastase produced by the P. aeruginosa mutant, PAO-E64.
Performance Evaluation of the Indian Banking Sector: A Study of Selected Commercial Banks

The Indian banking industry has passed through various phases of change marking its development. Performance of the commercial banks is an important indicator of the state and growth of the banking system in India which can be measured in different terms. This paper makes an attempt to analyze the performance of the four major banks in India, namely, Punjab National Bank (PNB), State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank, for the period 2009-2014. The paper analyzes the impact of various performance parameters on the performance of the selected banks using secondary data. The performance of the banks has been measured using different ratios, and regression analysis has been applied to find the factors predominantly affecting the performance of the banks. The results show that net NPA ratio as a percentage of loans, savings deposit as a percentage of total deposits, priority sector advances as a percentage of total advances and total income as a percentage of capital employed are the factors predominantly affecting the performance of banks.
Protection of Mice against Brucellosis by Intranasal Immunization with Brucella melitensis Lipopolysaccharide as a Noncovalent Complex with Neisseria meningitidis Group B Outer Membrane Protein

ABSTRACT Intranasal immunization of mice with purified Brucella melitensis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a noncovalent complex with Neisseria meningitidis group B outer membrane protein (GBOMP) elicited a high-titer anti-LPS systemic antibody response and a significant mucosal antibody response. The anti-LPS immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody was predominantly of the IgG1 subtype, although there was some response of the IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 subtypes. The antibody titer remained high for 16 weeks postimmunization. Immunized mice and sham-immunized control mice were challenged intranasally with 104 CFU of virulent B. melitensis strain 16 M 4 weeks after the second dose of vaccine. The numbers of bacteria in lungs, livers, and spleens at 3 days, 9 days, and 8 weeks postchallenge were determined. Bacteria were found in lungs of all mice on day 3, but there was no disseminated infection of liver or spleen. By day 9, 40% of the mice had infected spleens and livers. At 8 weeks postchallenge, spleens of 25 of 62 immunized mice were infected, compared to 61 of 62 control mice (P < 0.0001). The livers of 12 of 43 immunized mice were infected, compared to 22 of 36 control mice (P = 0.005). In contrast, the lungs of 26 of 46 immunized mice were still infected, compared to 27 of 44 control mice. The numbers of bacterial CFU in lungs of immunized and control animals were identical. These studies show that intranasal immunization with B. melitensis LPS-GBOMP subunit vaccine significantly protects mice against intranasal challenge with virulent B. melitensis. Vaccination reduces bacterial dissemination to spleen and liver but has no effect on the course of lung infection.
Improving semantic compression specification in large relational database

The large-scale relational databases normally have a large size and a high degree of sparsity. This has made database compression very important to improve the performance and save storage space. Using standard compression techniques (syntactic) such as Gzip or Zip does not take advantage of the relational properties, as these techniques do not look at the nature of the data. Since semantic compression accounts for and exploits both the meanings and dynamic ranges of error for individual attributes (lossy compression); and existing data dependencies and correlations between attributes in the table (lossless compression), it is very effective for table-data compression. Inspired by semantic compression, this study proposes a novel independent lossless compression system through utilising data-mining model to find the frequent pattern with maximum gain (representative row) in order to draw attribute semantics, besides a modified version of an augmented vector quantisation coder to increase total throughput of the database compression. This algorithm enables more granular and suitable for every kind of massive data tables after synthetically considering compression ratio, space, and speed. The experimentation with several very large real-life datasets indicates the superiority of the system with respect to previously known lossless semantic techniques.
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AND COAGULASE-NEGATIVE STAPHYLOCOCCI ISOLATED FROM BOVINE MASTITIS

The antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out on 103 Staphylococcus aureus and 136 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) strains. Only 35 of the isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics tested, while the remaining 204 isolates were resistant at least to one of the antibiotics. Among staphylococci, 18 isolates of S. aureus and 31 isolates of CNS were found phenotypically resistant to methicillin and these isolates were also resistant to penicillin G, ampicillin, amoxycillin and cloxacillin. Out of 68 S. aureus strains 55.9% were β-lactamase producers. β-lactamase producer isolates were 21.1% resistant to methicillin, but were 100% susceptible to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid and 97.4% susceptible to ampicillin/sulbactam. The differences observed in the efficacy of the antibiotics tested against staphylococci show that the antibiotic susceptibility tests should be performed together with the identification of the bacterial agents.
Development of a Model for Assessing Urban Public Transport Level of Service in Cities of Developing Nations

This paper summarises a research study that was conducted within the city of Dar es Salaam whose main goal was to formulate an all-inclusive revealed preference model for assessing urban public transport system Level of Service (LoS) as perceived by passengers in cities of developing nations. Using HCM guidelines, the model has been used to derive the urban public transport Level of Service thresholds, and a further description of the attributes of the LoS letter grades A to F. The model assigns Level of Service thresholds for urban public transport system using “Equivalent Travel Time” which represents a quantification that takes into consideration all the urban transport journey episodes/components and includes both physical relationships and subjective assessments.
All&#8211;analog decoder for a binary (18,9,5) tail&#8211;biting trellis code

An all-analog high-speed decoding technique is described which is suitable for magnetic recording (MR) and other computationally demanding applications. A decoder for a binary (18,9,5) tail-biting trellis code, which is much simpler than the codes used for MR, has been chosen to demonstrate this technique. It achieves a decoding rate of 100 Mbit/s at a single 5V power supply. The power consumption is 50mW. Higher speed can essentially be traded for higher power consumption. A comparison shows that a digital implementation is outperformed by more than two orders of magnitude in terms of speed and/or power consumption.
Business Success and Sustainability

The survival rate of small business is quite small, and the proportion of those surviving that go on to success and long term sustainability is even smaller. This paper explores the role of leadership in the sustainability of entrepreneurial enterprises and the relevance of Collin’s research to the development of the appropriate skills for entrepreneurs. It would appear that Colins’s (2001) research has much to say about what it takes to build an exceptional company and sustain it over the long term. He and his team were looking for the contributing factors in long term success, not exploring leadership. They were trying to identify what it was that enabled some companies to be continuously successful through negative and positive external conditions. What her terms Level Five leadership appeared as critical. These finding could have significant implications for the sustainability of entrepreneurial activity, as they suggest that the high profile, success driven individual, whilst able to attract attention and resources, and bring about significant change or development, may not have the attributes and behaviours necessary to grow a sustainable business. For sustainability the focus of the success is on the enterprise, not the entrepreneur, on the long-term development of the enterprise, not short terms rewards, on organisational values and standards rather than personality and charisma.
Creation of a 50,000λ long needle-like field with 0.36λ width: reply.

This is the reply to the comment by Chavez-Cerda and Pu [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A32, 1209 (2015)JOAOD61084-752910.1364/JOSAA.32. 001209] on our recent work about the 50,000λ long needle-like field [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A31, 500 (2014)JOAOD60740-323210.1364/JOSAA.31. 000500]. First, they employed an incorrect boundary condition as the fundament of their argument. In fact, it is not the electric field but its tangential component that must be zero at the surface of the perfect metal. Our result is completely consistent with the correct boundary condition. Second, a constant phase factor in the incident radially polarized beam, exp(jπ/4), for instance, has no influence on the result. Accordingly, our initial condition is proper.
Determination of lifetimes and nonadiabatic correlations from measured dipole polarizabilities

In atomic systems for which the total oscillator strength of excitations from the ground state is dominated by the transition to the lowest resonance level, the f-sum rule provides a bracketing inequality connecting the lifetime τ of that level to the dipole polarizability αd. This relationship has been used previously to deduce αd from τ. It is shown here that improved spectroscopic accuracies now permit this procedure to be inverted, with τ deduced from a value for αd obtained spectroscopically using the core polarization model. A similar quantitative relationship exists connecting the nonadiabatic correlation factor β to τ, and thus also to αd. The method is applied to a recent measurement of αd for Kr6+ to obtain the values τ(4s4p1P1) = 0.096 ± 0.003 ns and β(Kr6+) = 1.71 ± 0.03a50. It is shown that the use of this method to make precision lifetime determinations for a small number of ions in an isoelectronic sequence permits the exploitation of observed semiempirical regularities to specify the lifetimes of all ions in that sequence.
Biodigester installation manual

The first step in installing the biodigester is to identify the most appropriate location. In general this should be close to the source of the livestock pen where the waste is produced. It is a distinct advantage if the washings from the pen pass by gravity directly to the inlet of the biodigester. It is relatively easy to transport the gas by pipeline but difficult and tedious to do this with liquid wastes. As a general rule the excreta produced by 10 fattening pigs will require a biodigester of 4 m3 liquid capacity. For a small number of animals, it is advisable to use a diameter of 80cm, which then needs a length of 10 m.
Casein kinase II alpha transgene-induced murine lymphoma: relation to theileriosis in cattle

Infection of cattle with the protozoan parasite Theileria parva results in a fatal lymphoproliferative syndrome that is associated with the overexpression of casein kinase II. The role of this enzyme in the pathogenesis of lymphoproliferative disorders was investigated by expressing the catalytic subunit in lymphocytes of transgenic mice. Adult transgenic mice displayed a stochastic propensity to develop lymphoma; co-expression of a c-myc transgene in addition to casein kinase II resulted in neonatal leukemia. Thus, the casein kinase II gene can serve as an oncogene, and its dysregulated expression is capable of transforming lymphocytes in a two-step pathway with c-myc.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FROM TACIT KNOWLEDGE? UNPACKING THE CONCEPT AND ITS STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS.

Competitive advantage grows from firm-specific knowledge. So theories relating strategy to knowledge require a typology, much as Polanyi distinguished tacit from objective knowledge. Ethnographic research suggests separating tacit knowledge into three sub-types: conscious, automatic and communal. Each has different strategic implication. EMI's experience of CAT scanning illustrates their interplay.
Dual extrapolation and its applications to solving variational inequalities and related problems

AbstractIn this paper we suggest new dual methods for solving variational inequalities with monotone operators. We show that with an appropriate step-size strategy, our method is optimal both for Lipschitz continuous operators ( $$O({1 \over \epsilon})$$ iterations), and for the operators with bounded variations ( $$O({1 \over \epsilon^2})$$ iterations). Our technique can be applied for solving non-smooth convex minimization problems with known structure. In this case the worst-case complexity bound is $$O({1 \over \epsilon})$$ iterations.
Cardiovascular oscillations at the bedside: early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis using heart rate characteristics monitoring

We have applied principles of statistical signal processing and nonlinear dynamics to analyze heart rate time series from premature newborn infants in order to assist in the early diagnosis of sepsis, a common and potentially deadly bacterial infection of the bloodstream. We began with the observation of reduced variability and transient decelerations in heart rate interval time series for hours up to days prior to clinical signs of illness. We find that measurements of standard deviation, sample asymmetry and sample entropy are highly related to imminent clinical illness. We developed multivariable statistical predictive models, and an interface to display the real-time results to clinicians. Using this approach, we have observed numerous cases in which incipient neonatal sepsis was diagnosed and treated without any clinical illness at all. This review focuses on the mathematical and statistical time series approaches used to detect these abnormal heart rate characteristics and present predictive monitoring information to the clinician.
Enumeration of All Minimal Cut-Sets for a Node Pair in a Graph

This paper presents an efficient implicit enumeration algorithm for generating all minimal cut-sets separating a specified node pair in a connected graph. The arcs in the graph need not be directed. By stopping or branching at appropriate levels, the algorithm yields two connected subgraphs, each containing one of the nodes to be separated, with the number of nodes in one of the subgraphs less than any specified value.
Human leukocyte antigen-DRB1 class II genes in Mexican Amerindian Mazahuas: genes and languages do not correlate.

BACKGROUND The major histocompatibility complex genes are located on the short arm of the human sixth chromosome; they are highly polymorphic and therefore have been very advantageous in population genetic studies. METHODS A Mazahua group established in North Mexico State and also in nearby Michoacan state in the rainy mountain highlands (Mexico) was studied for their human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles. The relationship with other Amerindians and worldwide populations was studied by using 14,996 chromosomes from 75 different populations and calculating neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence multidimensional values. RESULTS Five principal HLA allele frequencies were found in our group: DRB1*0802 (the most frequent one in this population), DRB1*0407, DRB1*0403, DRB1*0101, and DRB1*1406. Both genetic distances and correspondence analyses clearly show that our Mazahua group is genetically close to some of the most ancient groups living in Mexico (Mayos, Zapotecans, Tennek) and South American Amerindians. Amerindians remain as a group apart from the rest of the world. CONCLUSIONS The results analyzing the HLA-DR locus suggest that Mazahua language (Otomangue) does not correlate with those of the most closely HLA-correlated ethnic groups. The present data may be useful for future transplantation programs, HLA and disease diagnosis, and pharmacogenetic studies.
A Hybrid Feature Selection by Resampling , Chi squared and Consistency Evaluation Techniques T World

In this paper a combined feature selection method is proposed which takes advantages of sample domain filtering, resampling and feature subset evaluation methods to reduce dimensions of huge datasets and select reliable features. This method utilizes both feature space and sample domain to improve the process of feature selection and uses a combination of Chi squared with Consistency attribute evaluation methods to seek reliable features. This method consists of two phases. The first phase filters and resamples the sample domain and the second phase adopts a hybrid procedure to find the optimal feature space by applying Chi squared, Consistency subset evaluation methods and genetic search. Experiments on various sized datasets from UCI Repository of Machine Learning databases show that the performance of five classifiers (Naïve Bayes, Logistic, Multilayer Perceptron, Best First Decision Tree and JRIP) improves simultaneously and the classification error for these classifiers decreases considerably. The experiments also show that this method outperforms other feature selection methods. Keywords—feature selection, resampling, reliable features, Consistency Subset Evaluation.
