description: This paper is intended as a sequel to a paper arXiv:0803.2636 written by four of the coauthors here. In the paper, they proved a stronger form of the Erdős-Mirksy conjecture which states that there are infinitely many positive integers $x$ such that $d(x)=d(x+1)$ where $d(x)$ denotes the number of divisors of $x$. This conjecture was first proven by Heath-Brown in 1984, but the method did not reveal the nature of the set of values $d(x)$ for such $x$. In particular, one could not conclude that there was any particular value $A$ for which $d(x)=d(x+1)=A$ infinitely often. In the previous paper arXiv:0803.2636, the authors showed that there are infinitely many positive integers $x$ such that both $x$ and $x+1$ have exponent pattern $\{2,1,1,1\}$, so $d(x)=d(x+1)=24$. Similar results were known for certain shifts $n$, i.e., $x$ and $x+n$ have the same fixed exponent pattern infinitely often. This was done for shifts $n$ which are either even or not divisible by the product of a pair of twin primes. The goal of this paper is to give simple proofs of results on exponent patterns for an arbitrary shift $n$.

description: Com o aparecimento das novas tecnologias e da era digital surge um novo tipo de consumidor, designado por prosumer. Este consumidor, mais informado, exigente e conectado com o mundo através de um simples click, torna-o não só consumidor de conteúdo, mas também participante na produção do mesmo, o que levanta novos e importantes desafios aos marketers. Para dar resposta a este desafio, têm surgido diferentes estratégias de marketing digital que permitem acrescentar valor à comunicação tradicional através dos conceitos de interatividade e imediatismo. É neste contexto que nasce o Real-Time Marketing (RTM) como tática de produção imediata de conteúdos em resposta a oportunidades de comunicação que se baseiam, maioritariamente, em acontecimentos reais e atuais. O objetivo do RTM é potenciar o vínculo entre marca, consumidor e possíveis consumidores e fidelizá-los através de publicações criativas, personalizadas e dinâmicas. Este artigo pretende demonstrar os efeitos e benefícios do RTM recorrendo numa primeira fase a uma análise geral da comunicação da marca Control Portugal no Facebook, no período relativo ao ano de 2019 e, posteriormente, a uma análise de métricas de avaliação das publicações (número de gostos, comentários e partilhas). Como principais conclusões destaca-se a demonstração de que o RTM é benéfico para as marcas, uma vez que lhes fornece características identitárias de marcas conectadas, informadas e interativas e, além disso, produz o desejado word-of-mouth e altos níveis de engagement.

description: Sensory dimensions of tourist destinations have recently been recognized as a crucial component in encouraging positive tourist experience. The urban area is rich in multisensory stimuli that could assist in planning and promoting attractive tourist experiences, and engage in local sustainable development as well. Hence, this paper focuses on capturing a holistic approach of all five human senses and their role in forming meaningful sensory impressions in the context of urban tourism, the so-called urban sensescapes. Following the qualitative approach, the present study embraces eight in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders in tourism field in order to answer to research gaps in the previous literature and help to understand the role of urban sensescapes and meaning of sensory features of the city. The case study approach enables mapping of multisensory routes where urban entertainment spots are presented in the light of their sensorial and emotional features. This will further facilitate tourist’s experience of the city’s best attractions which reflect all multisensory stimuli, ie., visual, aural, olfactory, gustatory and tactile.

description: The Civil Construction sector in Portugal has suffered significant fluctuations over the last few years. Being an important sector for economic growth due to its ability to provide infrastructure and create jobs, it is imperative that companies adopt tools for analysis and control of the strategy in order to survive and remain competitive. The evaluation of the generated strategic alternatives will allow to make the major decisions (generic strategy, products and markets, growth and development options), but efforts to transform intentions into actions emerge in the implementation phase of the strategy: the most difficult phase of the entire strategic process, since it is closely linked to organisational change. Interviews were conducted with five managers of companies in the sector and the study aimed to understand which generic strategy allows them to obtain a greater competitive advantage. Most of the interviewees considered it to be cost leadership.

description: We present in this work a quasi-continuous-wave (CW) pentacene maser operating at 1.45 GHz in the Earth's magnetic field at room temperature with a duration of $\sim$4 ms and an output power of up to -25 dBm. The maser is optically pumped by a cerium-doped YAG (Ce:YAG) luminescent concentrator (LC) whose wedge-shaped output is embedded inside a 0.1% pentacene-doped para-terphenyl (Pc:Ptp) crystal. The pumped crystal is located inside a ring of strontium titanate (STO) that supports a TE$_{01δ}$ mode of high magnetic Purcell factor. Combined with simulations, our results indicate that CW operation of pentacene masers at room-temperature is perfectly feasible so long as excessive heating of the crystal is avoided.

description: Abstract: This study investigates the role of gamification elements in driving user engagement within fintech credit applications, addressing a significant gap in understanding their differential effects. Employing a quantitative approach, we surveyed 315 users of fintech credit apps in Vietnam, analysing data through PLS-SEM and Necessary Condition Analysis. Results reveal a hierarchical impact of gamification elements on engagement, with challenges exerting the strongest influence, followed by leaderboards, badges, and points. The study uniquely identifies interaction effects between elements and elucidates the mediating roles of perceived usefulness and enjoyment. These findings advance gamification theory in fintech contexts and offer practical insights for app developers, contributing to the design of more effective, engaging digital financial services that can potentially enhance financial inclusion and literacy.

description: We study nonuniform lattices in the automorphism group G of a locally finite simplicial tree X. In particular, we are interested in classifying lattices up to commensurability in G. We introduce two new commensurability invariants: quotient growth, which measures the growth of the noncompact quotient of the lattice; and stabilizer growth, which measures the growth of the orders of finite stabilizers in a fundamental domain as a function of distance from a fixed basepoint. When X is the biregular tree X_{m,n}, we construct lattices realizing all triples of covolume, quotient growth, and stabilizer growth satisfying some mild conditions. In particular, for each positive real number νwe construct uncountably many noncommensurable lattices with covolume ν.

Publisher: name: ICIEMC Proceedings

description: Fashion retail is a highly competitive industry, where product differentiation is not always perceived by the consumer, not translating into an advantage over the competition. Retail service quality can be taken as a complementary source of differentiation by contributing to an improved consumer brand experience and, consequently, to greater loyalty. This study proposes a research model that analyses the effect of retail service quality, considered from a multidimensional perspective (physical appearance, reliability, personal interaction, problem solving and politics) on consumer's brand experience, also seen from a multidimensional perspective (sensory, affective, behavioural and intellectual). In addition, it analyses the impact that retail service quality and brand experience have on consumer loyalty. In order to validate the model, an empirical study was conducted with a sample of 217 customers of a fashion retail store. The data collected were subjected to statistical treatment using the partial least squares methodology, and the results confirmed the significant influence of retail service quality on brand experience and consumer loyalty. From this study it is possible to draw relevant implications for the academic world, as well as for the management of retail organizations, which must focus on improving service quality in order to provide a better shopping experience for their customers and, consequently, increase their loyalty.

description: The dependency on fossil fuels is growing steadily, putting Europe's energy selfsustainability at massive risk. The recent political disturbances in Russia and Ukraine show how dangerous the situation is. If Russia decided to cut the gas supply, Austria's reserves would suffice for only few months. Meanwhile climate change is under huge progression due to GHG emissions, caused by the excessive use of traditional fuels. Establishing renewable sources of energy is the only way to change this situation. But can renewables prevail at currently low electricity and oil prices? The first part of this master's thesis covers the Austrian electricity market, economic and legal frameworks. Furthermore a short overview of the realisable RES potentials will be given. The core of this paper forms the analysis of five existing RES power plants with maximum capacities of 0,5 MW to 4,5 MW, and outputs of 2 GWh to 4,5 GWh, covering biomass combustion, photovoltaic, small hydropower and wind power technologies. The range of size has been chosen by the author because it is considered to be an optimal size for decentralised electricity production, being able to service communities 6from 1.000 to 2.000 inhabitants. The focus lies on the economic performance of the chosen plants, including dynamic investment calculations and evaluations of the electricity generation costs. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses will test the robustness of the results. In the last section the projects will be compared with traditional fuel based electricity-generating technologies.

description: We present a study of the central exclusive diffractive production of the $f_{1}(1285)$ and $f_{1}(1420)$ resonances in proton-proton collisions. The theoretical results are calculated within the tensor-pomeron approach. Two pomeron-pomeron-$f_{1}$ tensorial couplings labeled by $(l,S) = (2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ are derived. We adjust the model parameters (coupling constants, cutoff constant) to the WA102 experimental data taking into account absorption effects. Both the $(l,S) = (2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ couplings separately allow one to describe the WA102 differential distributions. We compare these predictions with those of the Sakai-Sugimoto model, where the pomeron-pomeron-$f_{1}$ couplings are determined by the mixed axial-gravitational anomaly of QCD. We derive an approximate relation between the pomeron-pomeron-$f_{1}$ coupling constants of this approach and the $(l,S) = (2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ couplings. Then we present our predictions for the energies available at the RHIC and LHC. The total cross sections and several differential distributions are presented. Analysis of the distributions in the azimuthal angle $ϕ_{pp}$ between the transverse momenta of the outgoing protons may be used to disentangle $f_{1}$- and $η$-type resonances contributing to the same final channel. We find for the $f_{1}(1285)$ a total cross section $\sim 38$ $μ$b for $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV and a rapidity cut on the $f_{1}$ of $|{\rm y_{M}}| < 2.5$. We predict a much larger cross section for production of $f_{1}(1285)$ than for production of $f_{2}(1270)$ in the $π^{+}π^{-}π^{+}π^{-}$ decay channel for the LHC energies. This opens a possibility to study the $f_{1}(1285)$ meson in experiments planned at the LHC.

description: Following an elegant approach that merge the effects of the stringy spacetime uncertainty relation into primordial perturbations suggested by Brandenberger and Ho, we show the mode equation up to the first order of non-commutative parameter. A new approximation is provided to calculate the mode functions analytically in the non-commutative power-law inflation models. It turns out that non-commutativity of spacetime can provide small corrections to the power spectrum of primordial fluctuations as the first-year results of WMAP indicate. Moreover, using the WMAP data, we obtain the value of expansion parameter, non-commutative parameter and find the approximation is viable. In addition, we determined the string scale $l_s \simeq 2.0\times 10^{-29}{cm}$.

description: Due to the increasing proportion of renewable energy, more and more flexible options are necessary in order to flexibly compensate for the fluctuations regarding electricity generation through wind turbines or photovoltaics power plants, as a result a stable power supply is ensured. Energy storage is a means of mitigating this increased variability. Battery Energy Storage Systems are offering ancillary grid services like frequency control, energy time shifting or a decrease of the ramp rate of photovoltaic or wind turbine power plants. This thesis approaches the technical design and function of a lithium ion battery, the vanadium flow battery as well as the applications of large Battery Energy Storage Systems. The 40 largest projects in CEE are listed and statistically evaluated and the most interesting projects are described in detail e.g. the smart grid projects and second life batteries projects. Finally, a large BESS case study was carried out to compare the projects on the market of control reserve and on the spot market as a feasible study. This thesis proves that the market of primary control reserve offers an attractive economic aspect for a large BESS, but it is very difficult to utilise the other ancillary services in an economical way.

description: O mercado global e a velocidade da mudança, aceleram o ciclo de vida dos produtos e a necessidade de diferenciação. Os turistas procuram agora experiências autênticas e os destinos turísticos são vistos como meios para encenar a autenticidade que não pode ser encontrada no dia-a-dia normal do turista. O turista já não se contenta apenas com um ótimo serviço. Quer ser surpreendido, viver uma experiência que lhe proporcione uma sensação e uma emoção diferente, uma vivência inesquecível. A experiência é então o elemento que irá agregar valor ao produto turístico e dessa forma destacar a singularidade e a diferenciação do destino. Surge assim o marketing experiencial para criar estratégias de marketing específicas e verdadeiramente eficazes junto do consumidor, tomando a atividade de compra ou de consumo como uma experiência global com diversos fatores capazes de influenciar de forma positiva o indivíduo. O presente estudo pretende fazer uma reflexão sobre o marketing experiencial orientado para a lealdade e fidelização dos clientes no Turismo.

description: Transmon qubits are ubiquitous in the pursuit of quantum computing using superconducting circuits. However, they have some drawbacks that still need to be addressed. Most importantly, the scalability of transmons is limited by the large device footprint needed to reduce the participation of the lossy capacitive parts of the circuit. In this work, we investigate and evaluate losses in an alternative device geometry, namely, the merged-element transmon (mergemon). To this end, we replace the large external shunt capacitor of a traditional transmon with the intrinsic capacitance of a Josephson junction (JJ) and achieve an approximately 100 times reduction in qubit dimensions. We report the implementation of the mergemon using a sputtered Nb--amorphous-Si--Nb trilayer film. In an experiment below 10 mK, the frequency of the readout resonator, capacitively coupled to the mergemon, exhibits a qubit-state dependent shift in the low power regime. The device also demonstrates the single- and multi-photon transitions that represent a weakly anharmonic system in the two-tone spectroscopy. The transition spectra are explained well with master-equation simulations. A participation ratio analysis identifies the dielectric loss of the a-Si tunnel barrier and its interfaces as the dominant source for qubit relaxation. We expect the mergemon to achieve high coherence in relatively small device dimensions when implemented using a low-loss, epitaxially-grown, and lattice-matched trilayer.

description: A simple method combining photolithography and shadow (or angle) evaporation is developed to fabricate single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) devices with tube lengths L~10-50 nm between metal contacts. Large numbers of such short devices are obtained without the need of complex tools such as electron beam lithography. Metallic SWCNTs with lengths ~ 10 nm, near the mean free path (mfp) of lop~15 nm for optical phonon scattering, exhibit near-ballistic transport at high biases and can carry unprecedented 100 mA currents per tube. Semiconducting SWCNT field-effect transistors (FETs) with ~ 50 nm channel lengths are routinely produced to achieve quasi-ballistic operations for molecular transistors. The results demonstrate highly length-scaled and high-performance interconnects and transistors realized with SWCNTs.

description: Magnetic bimeron composed of two merons is a topological counterpart of magnetic skyrmion in in-plane magnets, which can be used as the nonvolatile information carrier in spintronic devices. Here we analytically and numerically study the dynamics of ferromagnetic bimerons driven by spin currents and magnetic fields. Numerical simulations demonstrate that two bimerons with opposite signs of topological numbers can be created simultaneously in a ferromagnetic thin film via current-induced spin torques. The current-induced spin torques can also drive the bimeron and its speed is analytically derived, which agrees with the numerical results. Since the bimerons with opposite topological numbers can coexist and have opposite drift directions, two-lane racetracks can be built in order to accurately encode the data bits. In addition, the dynamics of bimerons induced by magnetic field gradients and alternating magnetic fields are investigated. It is found that the bimeron driven by alternating magnetic fields can propagate along a certain direction. Moreover, combining a suitable magnetic field gradient, the Magnus-force-induced transverse motion can be completely suppressed, which implies that there is no skyrmion Hall effect. Our results are useful for understanding of the bimeron dynamics and may provide guidelines for building future bimeron-based spintronic devices.

description: Thermo-chemical Storages, now in R&D phase, are seen as promising solution to boost renewable energy in space heating, especially solar thermal heating. The main question of the thesis was if a business model for energy contracting for heat supply can be developed, that will address especially the risks coming from the new technology of TCS and the initial investment requirements for the TCS System. A Business Model Canvas was developed based on the customer segment of public office space. The economic validation was done by assessing a target price for the TCS system in a case study for a primary school. The Contracting Business Model with guaranteed results and costs for the customer would allow to introduce this new technology to the market. The set-up of the Energy Service Company, e.g. due to size or partnering will have to create sufficient customers trust, so that they will accept the installation of a heating system based on a fully new technology. From economic point of view Total Cost of Ownership/Life Cycle Cost have to be assessed to allow for relevant investment in the storage system. Public sector, driven by global and European treaties, adapts more and more sustainable approaches for new buildings and building stock. Contracting Business Models, reducing the initial investment needs for the customer, are a feasible instrument to introduce solar thermal energy in combination with TCS as 100% renewable and emission free heating system to the public building market.

description: O empreendedorismo sénior tem merecido atenção acrescida por parte dos académicos e da sociedade em geral. A literatura recente demonstra a relevância do tema e salienta as oportunidades de pesquisa que deverão ser exploradas para se compreender os comportamentos dos reformados em relação ao empreendedorismo, e assim contribuir para o desenvolvimento deste nicho de negócio. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as razões que motivam o empreendedorismo após a reforma. Após sintetizar os principais contributos presentes na literatura, apresentam-se resultados de um estudo qualitativo conduzido pelos autores e com a participação de seis empreendedores Portugueses que iniciaram as suas atividades de negócio após entrarem na reforma. As entrevistas foram realizadas em 2019 e os participantes são homens entre os 49 e os 78 anos. Enquanto alguns participantes se enquadram no bridge employment, definido enquanto atividade por conta própria de indivíduos que se reformaram mais cedo do que o habitual (i.e., antes dos 65 anos), outros mencionaram que anteciparam propositadamente a reforma para poderem tornar-se empresários. Adicionalmente, apesar de alguns entrevistados terem reconhecido a importância das vantagens financeiras que resultam de uma atividade profissional complementar à sua pensão de reforma, a principal vantagem frisada pelos participantes foi evitar e esmorecimento, seguindo o provérbio tradicional ‘parar é morrer’. O artigo oferece pistas relevantes para investigadores interessados no tema do empreendedorismo, bem como para profissionais diversos, designadamente os envolvidos na prestação de serviços a empreendedores, ou outros que possam estar a considerar reformar-se.

description: We provide an analytic theory to explain Anghel et al.'s recent numerical finding whereby a maximum in the global performance emerges for a sparsely-connected competitive population [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 058701 (2004)]. We show that the effect originates in the highly-correlated dynamics of strategy choice, and can be significantly enhanced using a simple modification to the model.

description: All-sky photometric time-series missions have allowed for the monitoring of thousands of young ($t_{\rm age} < 800$Myr) to understand the evolution of stellar activity. Here we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN), $\texttt{stella}$, specifically trained to find flares in $\textit{Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite}$ ($\textit{TESS}$) short-cadence data. We applied the network to 3200 young stars to evaluate flare rates as a function of age and spectral type. The CNN takes a few seconds to identify flares on a single light curve. We also measured rotation periods for 1500 of our targets and find that flares of all amplitudes are present across all spot phases, suggesting high spot coverage across the entire surface. Additionally, flare rates and amplitudes decrease for stars $t_{\rm age} > 50$Myr across all temperatures $T_{\rm eff} \geq 4000$K, while stars from $2300 \leq T_{\rm eff} < 4000$K show no evolution across 800 Myr. Stars of $T_{\rm eff} \leq 4000$K also show higher flare rates and amplitudes across all ages. We investigate the effects of high flare rates on photoevaporative atmospheric mass loss for young planets. In the presence of flares, planets lose 4-7% more atmosphere over the first 1 Gyr. $\texttt{stella}$ is an open-source Python tool-kit hosted on GitHub and PyPI.

The origins of lexical-category-to-meaning links : the case of count nouns and proper names
Creators: name: Belanger, Julie

description: When and how do infants learn the distinction between count nouns (CNs) and proper names (PNs)? In a seminal study, Katz, Baker, and Macnamara (1974) found that 17-month-old girls restricted a novel PN to a labeled doll but generalized a novel CN to a second doll contrasting in colour. Recent studies have replicated the original finding using identical-looking dolls, but no younger than 20 to 23 months (e.g., Hall, Lee, & Bélanger, 2001; Bélanger & Hall, 2006). Experiments 1 and 2 sought to clarify this age discrepancy by examining 14-, 17-, 20-, and 23-month-olds’ interpretations of CNs and PNs in a task involving either contrasting or identical-looking dolls. Infants heard a novel CN or PN for a doll. The labeled doll was paired with another contrasting or identical doll, and infants were asked to select a referent of the label. Results indicated that by 17 months, infants showed an understanding of the CN/PN distinction when the dolls looked different. It was only at 23 months that infants reliably mapped a PN onto an individual doll when it was paired with an identical-looking doll. What kinds of cues do infants use to learn the CN/PN distinction? In previous research, children interpreted a PN appropriately if it labeled a doll or familiar stuffed animal but not an artifact or unfamiliar animal. Yet questions remain about infants’ understanding of proper-nameable things. In Experiment 3, the same task was used to teach 23-month-olds a PN for a doll, stuffed rabbit, toy airplane, or novel monster. Results indicated that 23-month-olds used animate/human properties and familiarity of a labeled object when interpreting a novel PN. They interpreted the label as a PN when the object was an animate surrogate and familiar object (doll, stuffed rabbit), but not when it was an inanimate surrogate or unfamiliar object (toy airplane, novel monster). Together, these experiments document the emergence of infants’ understanding of the CN/PN distinction and reveal some cues that infants might use to learn PNs as distinct from CNs. A discussion of how the findings constrain theorizing about the developmental origins of the CN/PN distinction is presented.

description: Formation of the common European food market, aimed at freeing flow of goods, contributed to limitation of basic, obligatory quality standards for food in Poland. Adaptation of food prices to the level affordable by Polish households is correlated with food quality. Liberalization of food standards enable producers to engage in fraudulent practices such as adulteration of food. Results of official controls show various interpretations of the definition of ‘food adulteration’ which is inherent in the Polish regulation. / Synopsis. Tworzenie wspólnotowego rynku żywnościowego i dążenie do swobodnego przepływu towarów przyczyniły się do ograniczenia obligatoryjnych wymagań w zakresie podstawowych norm jakościowych środków spożywczych w Polsce. Dostosowywanie cen żywności do możliwości nabywczych polskich gospodarstw domowych odbywa się kosztem jakości produktu. Liberalizacja przepisów w odniesieniu do podstawowych norm ułatwia producentom stosowanie nieuczciwych praktyk handlowych, polegających między innymi na fałszowaniu żywności. Wyniki kontroli urzędowych wskazują na niejednolitą interpretację zawartej w prawie krajowym definicji „środka spożywczego zafałszowanego”.
