description: A large percentage of the building stock in the US was built prior to any real efficiency standards hence, '42% of total energy and 75% of all electricity is used in the built environment and most of it is wasted. We can triple or quadruple the efficiency of our building stock by 2050 and the savings are worth 4 times the cost'. In addition, 'there is a global abundance of private capital' looking for good sustainable investments. But today, even in states with high energy efficiency (EE) spending like California, experts estimate that 'the economic efficiency potential is two to three times greater than what is achievable with the current voluntary incentives and policies'. This thesis will compare two new EE transaction models in the US; Metered Energy Efficiency Transaction Structure (MEETSTM ) and P4P Residential Program (Pacific Gas & Electric in CA). These models, although different in many ways, share the following elements; 1. Pay-For-Performance (PFP) on, 2. all metered (to industry standard protocols) energy efficiency on a, 3. whole-building basis. This thesis will compare the differences between these models in terms of markets, technical approaches, depth of energy savings, regulatory and contractual requirements and impacts to the key market players and answer the following question; Can metered energy efficiency models that PFP based on whole-building savings break down the key hurdles to acquiring the energy efficiency potential in the US building stock? The content and conclusions draw upon a combination of technical reports from leading energy organizations, interviews with key experts, financial analysis on depth of energy savings potential based on documented case studies and the most recent news articles and blogs from industry. For the energy efficiency market to really accelerate all the right conditions need to be met. These include a well identified large market potential in combination with high demand from the utilities and regulators. In addition, an abundance of private capital must be available targeting sustainable investments. The technologies required, mainly the energy efficiency meter, must be deployed. Lastly, key regulations that pay for metered performance of energy efficiency and in some cases new utility revenue models need to be enacted. With the right conditions, new EE transaction structures that pay for metered performance should flourish. Transaction structures that fully realize Amory Lovins- principle that efficiency is, in fact, energy and result in stable, reliable cash flows will attract the uncommitted large private capital and unleash the well identified market potential.

description: The electricity situation in Nigeria is examined with focus on the plight of Ode Itsekiri, the ancestral homeland of the Itsekiris. At the moment Ode Itsekiri is marginally powered by an over-sized 300 kW diesel plant, in contrast to a relatively little load demand by the community. This generator is operational only when sufficient diesel is acquired. The community mandatorily subjects anyone wishing to bury a relative in the community to provide 50 litres of diesel per corpse. This is due to the fact that the community cannot afford the cost of running the large diesel generator, which requires about 200 litres of fuel for a round of operation of five hours per day for about three days. In attempting to solve the above electrification problem, a solution proffering the integration of solar energy which is abundant in the area is investigated. This thesis therefore, explores three scenarios of power generation using the HOMER software for simulations of the least cost energy solution for the community. In the ranking of these three scenarios, installing a 100 kW solar plant with a 20 KW diesel generator backup provides the best economic cost of electricity at approximately US$ 0.64/kWh, an environmental friendly option, longer hours of electrical load for some productive uses and a meaningful life. Next is a 200 kW autonomous solar plant with cost of energy at US$ 0.76/kWh and no carbon dioxide emission. Finally, operating the existing 300 kW plant remains the least solution to the electrification of Ode Itsekiri, as this presently runs at US$ 4.80/kWh and at US$ 21.64/kWh for the extended electrical loads examined, and least environmentally friendly with high carbon dioxide emission.

description: This paper is aimed at finding the best separation angle between spacecraft for the three-dimensional reconstruction of solar-wind inhomogeneous structures by the CORrelation-Aided Reconstruction(CORAR) method. The analysis is based on the dual-point heliospheric observations from the STEREO HI-1 cameras. We produced synthetic HI-1 white-light images containing artificial blob-like structures in different positions in the common field of view of the two HI-1 cameras and reconstruct the structures with CORAR method. The distributions of performance levels of the reconstruction for spacecraft separation of $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $120^{\circ}$ and $150^{\circ}$ are obtained. It is found that when the separation angle is $120^{\circ}$, the performance of the reconstruction is the best and the separation angle of $90^{\circ}$ is the next. A brief discussion of the results are given as well. Based on this study, we suggest the optimal layout scheme of the recently proposed Solar Ring mission, which is designed to routinely observe the Sun and the inner heliosphere from multiple perspectives in the ecliptic plane.

description: We study a very simple model of a short-range attraction and an outer shell repulsion as a test system for demixing phase transition and density anomaly. The phase-diagram is obtained by applying mean field analysis and Monte Carlo simulations to a two dimensional lattice gas with nearest-neighbors attraction and next-nearest-neighbors repulsion (the outer shell). Two liquid phases and density anomaly are found. The coexistence line between these two liquid phases meets a critical line between the fluid and the low density liquid at a tricritical point. The line of maximum density emerges in the vicinity of the tricritical point, close to the demixing transition.

description: As the Black Sea Region (BSR) has recently emerged as a major world grain exporter region, this study assesses the possible influence of BSR maize prices on maize futures prices in Hungary. To measure the linear relationship between these prices the Pearson’s correlation was used, and to estimate their cointegration the Johansen test was performed for the period April 2011 to December 2013. Prices of Paris (MATIF) and Chicago (CBOT) maize futures were also included in the analysis for comparison. The results suggest that BSR maize prices had little or no influence on futures price discovery in Hungary during the period investigated. From this it can be concluded that (a) BSR supply and demand conditions bore negligible importance for market participants, and (b) Budapest Stock Exchange maize futures may not be efficient tools for hedging price risks associated with Hungarian maize exports to third countries where prices are derived from quotes at BSR seaports. On the other hand, MATIF maize futures prices had a measurable impact on the pricing of maize futures in Hungary, although this connection disappeared for the period April-December 2013. The same was true for CBOT maize futures prices which Hungarian maize futures prices were also cointegrated with in a revised 2012/2013 crop year (April-March). Some possible causes of the dis-association of these markets observed recently are discussed.

Electron-phonon drag enhancement of transport properties from fully coupled \textit{ab initio} Boltzmann formalism

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present a combined treatment of the non-equilibrium dynamics and transport of electrons and phonons by carrying out \textit{ab initio} calculations of the fully coupled electron and phonon Boltzmann transport equations. We find that the presence of mutual drag between the two carriers causes the thermopower to be enhanced and dominated by the transport of phonons, rather than electrons as in the traditional semiconductor picture. Drag also strongly boosts the intrinsic electron mobility, thermal conductivity and the Lorenz number. Impurity scattering is seen to suppress the drag-enhancement of the thermal and electrical conductivities, while having weak effects on the enhancement of the Lorenz number and thermopower. We demonstrate these effects in \textit{n}-doped 3C-SiC at room temperature, and explain their origins. This work establishes the roles of microscopic scattering mechanisms in the emergence of strong drag effects in the transport of the interacting electron-phonon gas.

description: - . . . the idea of the future being different from the present is so repugnant to our conventional modes of thought and behavior that we, most of us, offer a great resistance to acting on it in practice.- John Maynard Keynes, 1937 Our current period is defined as Anthropocene, describing the major influence of humans on our planet. Increasing population and industrialization, based on fossil fuels, is consuming resources of the planet in the highest speed noticed in mankind. This threatens the base of life of all species on earth. An important improvement of existing and future coexistence with nature on this planet is the limitation of greenhouse gases emitted, if not achieved, will result in global warming of the atmosphere and cause devastation of big areas needed for living for a still growing population. In December 2015 an important agreement on COP21, Paris has been agreed to limit green-house gas emissions on a global level. Papua New Guinea has submitted already the binding INDC (Intended Nationally Determined Contribution) for 2030 to be 100% renewable energy reliant. Norway presented the vision to be 100% carbon neutral in 2030. At the moment of handing in this thesis 47% of the signatories have deposited their instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession. Reaching 55% the treaty will be effective. The collection of the voluntary measures defined by all signatory parties of the Paris COP21 (INDCs) will not allow to achieve the needed CO2 limits to avoid overshooting the 2-degree Celsius goal and intensified global joint efforts are needed to reach the goal. EU has already defined binding limits for its member states up to 2030, to be achieved by using EU-ETS and effort sharing actions in non ETS emitted greenhouse gases. Starting from a description of the historic development of GHG emissions and renewable energy, this paper will analyze the effectivity of the current EU-ETS system as well as the valid REN support systems in Germany and Austria on achieving the defined goal of 40% CO2 reduction by 2030, compared to 1990. More than 10 years after EU-ETS has been started, an evaluation of its implementation as well as an evaluation of the existing measures to achieve the goals in 2030 will be performed. Having in mind the 40% reduction goal for 2030 as well as the decarbonization ambition for the second half of this century, this period will see the most radical change in energy production and consumption known in history.

description: The study analyses the determinants of food availability and access, and the causes of unsustainable food access in Ghana using three models. Regression results show that the effects of energy price, domestic and foreign interest rates, domestic prices and exchange rate on food availability are negative, while the effects of crop yield, arable land, liberalisation of agricultural trade and real income are positive. The analysis further shows the unique effects of energy price and human capital exceed their common effects. However, the common effects of domestic and foreign interest rates, inflation, crop yield, arable land, exchange rate, liberalisation of agricultural trade and income exceed their unique effects. The access model shows that the effects of domestic interest rate, exchange rate and oil price are negative. The unique effect of oil price exceeds the variable’s common effect. However, the common effects of exchange rate, interest rate and income exceed their unique effects. The stability model shows that good news and higher incomes enhance sustainable food access. However, higher oil price and depreciation of the local currency distort sustainable food access. The policy implication is that government should jointly target variables with higher common effects when addressing food access and availability. Withdrawal of government fuel subsidy will increase consumers’ risk of accessing food and hence threaten the sustainability of food access.

Publisher: name: ICIEMC Proceedings
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the main concepts related to Relationship Marketing (RM), such as loyalty, customer value, customer retention, and customer satisfaction and strategy continuum. A literature review is used to characterize these elements, to establish a link between them and to reinforce the role that ethics generally plays. Overall, RM aims to study marketing through the networks and its interaction. A transition to RM was required to create new value for customers and to share it. It is important also to recognize the significance that customers have as purchasers and in describing the value they wish to reach. The ethics related to RM is part of the commercial process as it requires mutual respect to retain the customer, a long-term view to keep him satisfied, a win-win strategy to create long term value, and the recognition of the customer as a partner and co-founder of value. Applying ethics may be a deferential and a key factor in developing strategies and be nearer to the customers’ needs to create value. This study highlights how the application in an ethical way of RM concepts may contribute to a successful implementation that requires various perspectives to its approach.

From nuisance to amenity : exploring planning policy alternatives for live music venues in Vancouver
Creators: name: Pickersgill, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In Vancouver, increasing residential pressures on the city have resulted in the loss and endangerment of a number of live music venues. This thesis explores the role of planning policy in integrating and retaining live music venues within urban environments. This thesis asserts that live music venues are contested spaces. Venues and performance facilities come attached with their own stories, histories, devotees, cultural worth, social importance, and economic significance, thus comprising important pieces of cultural fabric. Live music venues also help to instill vitality, enjoyment, identity, and purpose to a place as they attract artists, consumers, tourists, entrepreneurs, and industry. It is in this sense that live music venues constitute an important amenity to city life. However, from other perspectives music venues can pose serious concerns regarding noise, crowds, alcohol, unruly behaviour, and disorder. Generally planning policy has not been able to adequately address live music venues. An exploration of how planning policy affects venues is carried out through an in-depth review of relevant literature pertaining to land use, emerging planning challenges, and amenity. Research reveals that there are 4 basic areas of planning policy that affect live music venues most directly: 1) Long range and strategic planning 2) Regulation 3) Cultural Planning 4) Financing and the securing of public amenities. Using these four areas of planning policy as an analytical framework, an examination of case example cities and a detailed SWOT analysis of the Vancouver context is carried out. Overall the research reveals that increasing residential development and a pervasive culture of complaint comprise two of the primary threats to live music venues in Vancouver. This thesis concludes that there is a need to increase the connections between land use and cultural planning policy in order to foster live music venues and to assert their legitimacy as a land use. A series of potential planning policy alternatives for Vancouver are suggested with discussion concluding with a broad look at the role of planners in supporting live music venues.

description: O desenvolvimento dos mercados e a constante mudança de comportamento de compra dos consumidores leva as organizações a transitarem do canal offline para o canal online. A era da globalização dos mercados muda a forma como as organizações comercializam e a presença no canal online permite-lhes aprimorar as relações com os seus consumidores, assim como, criar uma comunicação mais direcionada. Os diversos atos de consumo podem estar relacionados com os valores hedónicos e utilitários de cada indivíduo, sendo que os primeiros são o resultado de respostas espontâneas relacionadas com o prazer pessoal da experiência de compra. Por conseguinte, a dimensão utilitária resulta de uma ação mais pensada e ponderada. Um estudo realizado pela consultora de Marketing norte americana Hootsuite, indica que em Portugal a categoria de produtos mais comprada online em 2017 foi a de vestuário e produtos de beleza. Este estudo tem como objetivo entender as motivações para a escolha do canal online na compra deste tipo de produtos, com especial atenção às diferentes gerações de consumidores. A metodologia adotada é exploratória baseada num inquérito online com 280 respostas. Este estudo mostra que existe uma maior associação entre o valor utilitário e a intenção da repetição de compra do que o valor hedónico e a própria intenção. Para além disso, verificou-se que existe uma maior associação da geração X à intenção da repetição de compra com base em valores utilitários ao passo que na geração Z existe uma maior associação entre os valores hedónicos e essa repetição de compra.

description: When Romania joined the European Union (EU) in 2007, it did so with significant structural drawbacks. This paper investigates, in this context, the influence of the considerable levels of financial support given under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the overall productivity of Romanian agriculture. Using data for a 15-year time horizon (1998-2013), we show that the policy incentives have not yet produced any positive effects on the Total Factor Productivity index. Moreover, the increases in the input index remain higher than the output index, reducing the overall productivity of Romanian agriculture. This is explained by a low share of high value-added products in the total agricultural production and agricultural structures that are not yet compatible with those of Western Europe. The new CAP financial allocation must correct these negative findings by supporting new investments in the food processing industry and the better marketing of agricultural products.

description: Strong evidence has recently emerged for a variation in the fine structure constant, $α\equiv e^2/\hbar c$, over the history of the Universe. This was concluded from a detailed study of the relative positions of redshifted optical quasar absorption spectra. However, {\it radio} absorption lines at high redshift offer a much higher sensitivity to a cosmological change in $α$ than optical lines. Furthermore, through the comparison of various radio transitions, \HI, OH and millimetre molecular (e.g. CO) lines, any variations in the proton g-factor, $g_p$, and the ratio of electron/proton masses, $μ\equiv m_e/m_p$, may also be constrained. Presently, however, systems exhibiting redshifted radio lines are rare with the bias being towards those associated with optically selected QSOs. With its unprecedented sensitivity, large bandwidth and wide field of view, the SKA will prove paramount in surveying the sky for absorbers unbiased by dust extinction. This is expected to yield whole new samples of \HI ~and OH rich systems, the latter of which will prove a useful diagnostic in finding redshifted millimetre absorbers. As well as uncovering many new systems through these blind surveys, the SKA will enable the detection of \HI ~absorption in many more of the present optical sample -- down to column densities of $\sim10^{17}$ \scm, or $\gapp2$ orders of magnitude the sensitivity of the current limits. Armed with these large samples together with the high spectral resolutions, available from the purely radio comparisons, the SKA will provide statistically sound measurements of the values of these fundamental constants in the early Universe, thus providing a physical test of Grand Unified Theories.

description: We investigate the properties of self-bound ultradilute Bose-Bose mixtures, beyond the Lee-Huang-Yang description. Our approach is based on the determination of the beyond mean-field corrections to the phonon modes of the mixture in a self-consistent way and calculation of the associated equation of state. The newly obtained ground state energies show excellent agreement with recent quantum Monte Carlo calculations, providing a simple and accurate description of the self-bound mixtures with contact type interaction. We further show numerical results for the equilibrium properties of the finite size droplet, by adjusting the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our analysis is extended to the one-dimensional mixtures where an excellent agreement with quantum Monte Carlo predictions is found for the equilibrium densities. Finally, we discuss the effects of temperature on the stability of the liquid phase.

description: Nowadays, digital media allows us to access information about any destination from everywhere. It can be informational content such as news, advertisement content or sharing of experiences and opinions. A strong and unique image is essential to transform a mere place into a destination. The image formed in our mind has the ability to influence our decisions regarding the purchase of products from a particular country, where to travel or where to migrate. Thus, the management of places as brands has brought many competitive advantages. However, the images of the territories are increasingly becoming harder to control, making it essential to regularly ascertain the perception of the image of the place by those who are abroad. Ideally it will be as close to reality as possible. Therefore, this research aims to understand how tourists perceive the image of the brand Lisbon. The research developed is quantitative, using the questionnaire survey as a data collection tool. The sample obtained has a total of 254 individuals. It was concluded that Lisbon is perceived very positively.

description: The littlest Higgs (LH) model predicts the existence of the new gauge bosons $Z'$ and $B'$. We calculate the contributions of these new particles to the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{f}f$ with $f=τ, μ, b,$ or $c$ and study the possibility of detecting these new particles via these processes in the future high-energy linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider (LC) experiments with $\sqrt{s}=500GeV$ and $£_{int}=340fb^{-1}$. We find that, with reasonable values of the parameter preferred by the electroweak precision data, the possible signals of these new particles might be detected. The $Z'$ mass $M_{Z'}$ can be explored up to $2.8TeV$ via the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{b}b $ for $0.3\leq c \leq 0.5 $ and the $B'$ mass $M_{B'}$ can be explored up to $1.26TeV$ via the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{l}l $ for $0.64\leq c' \leq 0.73 $.

description: Worldwide energy demand has continuously increased due to a growing population, a change in living standards and etc. Increased energy demand causes a considerable use of fossil sources and, as a result, global environmental change. The world today has to face many problems such as air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emission, global warming and a pending environmental crises, which must not be ignored. Furthermore, fossil sources are limited and not clean. That is why it is necessary to use alternative energy sources which are reliable, renewable, sustainable and clean. According to the scientists, sun is the largest available potential energy source. However, the amount of sun energy we can receive and use on earth is only one part of the high potential sun energy output. For many years scientists have been researching the possibility of using the sun power for generating electric energy directly in the space, where solar energy is much greater than the solar energy we receive on earth. The objective is to transmit this energy to the earth wirelessly via laser or microwave and to convert it back to electrical energy. Moreover, many studies have been made on wireless transmission techniques. Today, solar energy is also used on the Spacecraft. It seems that the promising technology will make it possible to use the great amount of solar energy for billions of years and solve the future energy crisis on our planet while keeping the environment clean. In recent years space based solar power has become a more and more interesting topic as it seems to be a sustainable energy solution and economically valuable. Although space based solar energy has a high potential and is environmental friendly, according to experts it is still has to face many challenges and key barriers have to be overcome in order to approach the market. This paper aims to assess the current status and the future perspectives of the Space Based Solar Power (SBSP), in comparison to the Earth Based Solar Power (EBSP), considering the technological, energetic, environmental and economic aspects of both technologies. The objective of this research and the comparison between both systems is to review and analyse existing information on the potentially best use of solar energy.
Peculiaridades do health care marketing: uma abordagem teórica focada no marketing interno e na gestão das pessoas

description: Os serviços de saúde são peculiares e sensíveis, pois a saúde é um bem vital, muitíssimo valorizado. Assim, a disponibilidade para abdicar de cuidados de saúde, ou trocar facilmente pelo serviço mais barato, não é de todo evidente (Kay, 2007). Trata-se de um contexto que lida com clientes “especiais”, visto que estes recorrem aos cuidados de saúde com uma mistura de doença, vulnerabilidade, receio e incerteza, abdicam das suas liberdades quando hospitalizados, precisam do serviço, mas não o desejam, renunciam à privacidade e precisam, muitas vezes desesperadamente, de confiar nos profissionais de saúde (Berry & Seltman, 2008). A partir da literatura de marketing de serviços e do modelo Services Marketing Triangle (Grönroos, 1990; Kotler, 1994; Brown & Bitner, 2006), explora-se o papel determinante do marketing interno e da interação entre pessoas, nomeadamente entre colaboradores/prestadores e clientes/doentes. Existem algumas evidências empíricas sobre a importância do marketing interno na qualidade dos cuidados de saúde prestados (e.g. Azêdo & Alves, 2013; Tsai & Tang, 2008; Fortenberry & McGoldrick, 2015), no entanto, poder-se-á afirmar que a literatura é ainda escassa. Este trabalho pretende precisamente contribuir com uma abordagem mais explícita ao marketing interno e ao papel das pessoas, utilizando também, como suporte teórico, a gestão de evidências (Berry & Bendapudi, 2003) e o seu impacto na demostração de competência dos profissionais e técnicos de saúde, na criação de confiança e na superação das expectativas dos clientes.
