Utilizing satellite technology in 5G network development
Creators: name: Uusitalo, Tommi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The goal of the thesis was to outline the current level of 5G mobile network and the level of communication satellite technology. Another goal was to consider how these technologies can be used to utilize each other. Communications satellites are one category of non-terrestrial networks. Researching both the progress of 5G network development and advancements in satellite technology played a big role in this thesis. The work includes some thoughts considering the possibilities offered by 5G network and non-terrestrial networks. This study also explains some features of Starlink system and includes a scenario where satellite internet is used to extend the 5G network to rural locations. Even though the created scenario was not implemented, it provides a basis for designing a similar system in the future. The AGRARSENSE project develops technological solutions for the needs of agriculture and forestry. The 5G network coverage does not yet reach the sparsely populated areas, where the main use cases of the project are located. The topic of this study is related to some requirements of the project.

description: We have characterized CdS/CdSe/CdS quantum-dot quantum wells using time-resolved Faraday rotation (TRFR). The spin dynamics show that the electron g-factor varies as a function of quantum well width and the transverse spin lifetime of several nano-seconds is robust up to room temperature. As a function of probe energy, the amplitude of the TRFR signal shows pronounced resonances, which allow one to identify individual exciton transitions. While the TRFR data are inconsistent with the conduction and valence band level scheme of spherical quantum-dot quantum wells, a model in which broken spherical symmetry is taken into account captures the essential features.

description: We develop a Hilbert-space approach to the diffusion process of the Brownian motion in a bounded domain with random jumps from the boundary introduced by Ben-Ari and Pinsky in 2007. The generator of the process is introduced by a diffusion elliptic differential operator in the space of square-integrable functions, subject to non-self-adjoint and non-local boundary conditions expressed through a probability measure on the domain. We obtain an expression for the difference between the resolvent of the operator and that of its Dirichlet realization. We prove that the numerical range is the whole complex plane, despite the fact that the spectrum is purely discrete and is contained in a half-plane. Furthermore, for the class of absolutely continuous probability measures with square-integrable densities we characterise the adjoint operator and prove that the system of root vectors is complete. Finally, under certain assumptions on the densities, we obtain enclosures for the non-real spectrum and find a sufficient condition for the non-zero eigenvalue with the smallest real part to be real. The latter supports the conjecture of Ben-Ari and Pinsky that this eigenvalue is always real.

description: The aim of this thesis study was to design a 5G system and to build it into a hydrogen and renewable energy production trailer owned by Lapland University of Applied Sciences. The study was commissioned by Lapland University of Applied Sciences as a part of a larger ARGAGSENSE project. In this project, the plan was to build a remote 5G server that runs on renewable energy in remote areas where energy and web connectivity are not available for workers. The prototype of the remote 5G system will be built to show that it is possible to create a system that can be used to this extent.The author’s part in this project was, with the Lapland University of Applied Sciences team, to first test out if it is possible to add a 5G server to the trailer owned by UAS. Tests made for this consisted of testing the power output of the UAS’s hydrogen and renewable energy production trailer, and secondly testing how much power the 5G-base station uses. The results of these tests were then compared to see if the power production and usage for the remote 5G system is enough, or are changes needed to be made.After the tests the plan is to build a remote 5G system for the energy production trailer. The testing for the trailer will then be made later in the autumn of the year 2024.
Global Climate Policy Architecture and Political Feasibility: Specific Formulas and Emission Targets to Attain 460 ppm CO2 Concentrations

description: Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: the absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be politically acceptable, any new treaty that fills these gaps must, we believe, obey certain constraints regarding country-by-country economic costs. We offer a framework of formulas that assign quantitative allocations of emissions, across countries, one budget period at a time. The two-part plan: (i) China and other developing countries accept targets at BAU in the coming budget period, the same period in which the US first agrees to cuts below BAU; and (ii) all countries are asked in the future to make further cuts in accordance with a formula which sums up a Progressive Reductions Factor, a Latecomer Catch-up Factor, and a Gradual Equalization Factor. An earlier proposal for specific parameter values in the formulas – Frankel (2009), as analyzed by Bosetti, et al (2009) – achieved the environmental goal that concentrations of CO2 plateau at 500 ppm by 2100. It succeeded in obeying our political constraints, such as keeping the economic cost for every country below the thresholds of Y=1% of income in Present Discounted Value, and X=5% of income in the worst period. In pursuit of more aggressive environmental goals, we now advance the dates at which some countries are asked to begin cutting below BAU, within our framework. We also tinker with the values for the parameters in the formulas. The resulting target paths for emissions are run through the WITCH model to find their economic and environmental effects. We find that it is not possible to attain a 380 ppm CO2 goal (roughly in line with the 2°C target) without violating our political constraints. We were however, able to attain a concentration goal of 460 ppm CO2 with looser political constraints. The most important result is that we had to raise the threshold of costs above which a country drops out, to as high as Y =3.4% of income in PDV terms, or X =12 % in the worst budget period. Some may conclude from these results that the more aggressive environmental goals are not attainable in practice, and that our earlier proposal for how to attain 500 ppm CO2 is the better plan. We take no position on which environmental goal is best overall. Rather, we submit that, whatever the goal, our approach will give targets that are more practical economically and politically than approaches that have been proposed by others.

description: A method to compute the scattering solutions of a spinless Salpeter equation (or a Schrodinger equation) with a central interaction is presented. This method relies on the 3-dimensional Fourier grid Hamiltonian method used to compute bound states. It requires only the evaluation of the potential at equally spaced grid points and yields the radial part of the scattering solution at the same grid points. It can be easily extended to the case of coupled channel equations and to the case of non-local interactions.

Simulation modeling as a decision analysis support tool at the Vancouver Container Terminal
Creators: name: Zhou, Aimee Zhiwei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of this research is to find whether replacing tractor/trailers in Vanterm (Vancouver Container Terminal) with straddle carriers will increase the productivity. The productivity is measured in lifts per hour per crane. After a significant productivity increase was demonstrated, the objective of this work was then extended to estimate the optimal number of straddle carriers and to quantify the potential of the straddle carriers in terms of productivity increases. The results of this project will be used to support the decision of purchasing and implementing new equipment for Vanterm. Two discrete-event simulation models were developed as a decision support tool in this project. The models were used to evaluate several transporter allocation scenarios. Statistical analyses were implemented to analyze the results of those scenarios. The results of the simulation gave valuable insight into the vessel operation of Vanterm and provided management at TSI with a strong tool for testing configuration changes to Vanterm without costly investment. In addition to the simulation models, further studies were conducted by testing more scenarios with modified simulation models, applying analytical models and analyzing deterministic models.

description: We derive several kinetic equations to model the large scale, low Fresnel number behavior of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with a rapidly fluctuating random potential. There are three types of kinetic equations the longitudinal, the transverse and the longitudinal with friction. For these nonlinear kinetic equations we address two problems: the rate of dispersion and the singularity formation. For the problem of dispersion, we show that the kinetic equations of the longitudinal type produce the cubic-in-time law, that the transverse type produce the quadratic-in-time law and that the one with friction produces the linear-in-time law for the variance prior to any singularity. For the problem of singularity, we show that the singularity and blow-up conditions in the transverse case remain the same as those for the homogeneous NLS equation with critical or supercritical self-focusing nonlinearity, but they have changed in the longitudinal case and in the frictional case due to the evolution of the Hamiltonian.
Do International Roaming Alliances Harm Consumers?

description: We develop a model of international roaming in which mobile network operators (MNOs) compete both on the wholesale market to sell roaming services to foreign operators and on the retail market for subscribers. The operators own a network infrastructure only in their home country. To allow their subscribers to place or receive calls abroad, they have to buy roaming services provided by foreign MNOs. We show that in absence of international alliances and capacity restrictions, competition between foreign operators would drive wholesale unit prices down to marginal costs. However, operators prefer to form international alliances in which members mutually provide roaming services at inefficiently high wholesale prices. Alliances serve as a commitment device to soften competition on the retail market and harm consumers through excessively high per call prices. Although operators compete in two-part tariffs for subscribers, wholesale roaming prices do not exhibit profit-neutrality as do access prices in related models of net- work interconnection. We also show that international alliances are endogenously formed if not prevented by regulation.
Trade Friction, Dispute Settlement and Structural Adjustment, Or, Why Canada-Wheat Doesn’t Matter in North American Trade Relations

description: This article examines the substance of the WTO panel decision for Canada-Wheat as it relates to trade friction in North American agricultural markets. I provide an overview of recent economic literature on state trading enterprises (STEs) and examine the WTO’s approach to regulating the behaviour of STEs. The Canada-Wheat panel was the first WTO panel to consider Canada’s single-desk marketing system for Western Canadian wheat and barley and was the first test of the WTO’s regulation of STEs under GATT Article XVII. The panel rejected the American argument, opting for a line of reasoning that highlights the rules of non-discrimination while maintaining some of the ambiguity of Article XVII. I conclude by examining the competitive pressures that exacerbate trade frictions between North American wheat producers. From a legal perspective, this panel decision is significant because it clarifies the WTO’s position on STEs, to a certain extent. In the context of continental politics, however, the ruling will likely have little impact on Canada/U.S. trade relations because it must be analyzed in relation to the domestic demands that arise from ongoing structural adjustment in both nations’ agricultural sectors.

description: Music is a promising strategy to address the physical, psychological, and social needs of people with chronic pain. To better understand its potential in the treatment of chronic pain, this study aims to assess the state of knowledge regarding the effects of music in the context of chronic pain treatment. A scoping review was conducted in eight databases using music, chronic pain, and treatment concepts and associated keywords. Studies were included in the review if they reported some effects of any form of music on chronic pain or concomitant conditions. Sixty-three studies were identified. Results showed numerous benefits of music-based interventions on chronic pain and common concomitant difficulties including emotional regulation, anxiety and depression symptoms, and social issues. Though literature supports varied forms of music-based interventions, those that account for participants’ preferences and that encourage self-management and autonomy appeared to be the most effective. Despite the benefits of music in the management of pain and concomitant difficulties, there remain few examples of applied music interventions in services designed for people who experience chronic pain. More research is needed to identify the musical modalities that would be the most adapted and effective to complement chronic pain services. What is this review about? This study investigated the different ways musical activities have been used to treat pain and mental health conditions among people who experience chronic pain. What were the results? The review identified that music interventions, especially when patients are truly involved in musical activities in which they are interested, can significantly improve the experience of physical pain, facilitate the management of mental health and emotional difficulties, and to reduce the isolation, all issues that are often associated with chronic pain. What do the results mean? These results suggest that music-based interventions are promising in helping chronic pain patients to address their physical, emotional, psychological and social needs, at times inside healthcare services and in the individuals’ everyday lives.

description: This paper addresses the coordination and innovation issues needed for promoting value added at the rural and regional level. There are two sides to value added: the ability to meet consumer demand, and to identify least cost ways of supplying the demanded goods. Human and social capital plays an important role on both sides. At the municipality level the supply side issues are complex. First, because the production space has far more dimensions than for the single entrepreneur. Second, because the value of some goods and services produced depend on what other goods and services those are available. On the supply side networks are important to solve the coordination issues, while networks for identifying and understanding consumer preferences are important on the demand side. Participation in these two network types compete for the same scarce resource, the time of the inhabitants of a municipality. We address these issues in more detail. A major insight from our work is that in addition to the time conflict, innovation and new information may make it more difficult to maintain coordination networks.

description: We derive a general lower bound on distributions of entropy production in interacting active matter systems. The bound is tight in the limit that interparticle correlations are small and short-ranged, which we explore in four canonical active matter models. In all models studied, the bound is weak where collective fluctuations result in long-ranged correlations, which subsequently links the locations of phase transitions to enhanced entropy production fluctuations. We develop a theory for the onset of enhanced fluctuations and relate it to specific phase transitions in active Brownian particles. We also derive optimal control forces that realize the dynamics necessary to tune dissipation and manipulate the system between phases. In so doing, we uncover a general relationship between entropy production and pattern formation in active matter, as well as ways of controlling it.

description: A new Schiff base ligand (E)-4-chloro-2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)benzoicacid (CHMB) was synthesized through condensation reaction of Ortho-Vanillin and 2-amino-4-chloro-benzoic acid in 1:1 ratio. CHMB-Mn(II) chloride complex (C1), CHMB-Mn(II) acetate complex (C2), CHMB-Cu(II) acetate complex (C3), CHMB-Zn(II) chloride complex (C4), CHMB-Zn(II) acetate complex (C5), were similarly synthesized using a 2:1 ratio. The synthesized compounds were characterized using various techniques, that is, FT-IR,1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectrometry, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. FT-IR analysis confirmed the bidentate nature of the ligand, indicating bond formation with metal ions through the nitrogen atom of the azomethine group and the oxygen atom. Spectroscopic methods including FT-IR, UV-Visible, and mass spectroscopy verified that all complexes displayed an octahedral geometry. Adsorption dissociation metabolism and excretion (ADME) studies predicted the drug-likeness probability for all synthesized compounds. The molecular docking studies examined the interaction between compounds and bacterial/fungal proteins. The geometrical optimization and DFT calculation were performed using Gaussian 09 W software. All the complexes were evaluated for antimicrobial activities against five bacterial and three fungal strains. Anticancer screening of the ligand and complexes against human cancer cell line (A549) was examined using MTT assay. CHMB-Zn(II) acetate complex (C5) possessed highest antimicrobial activity (with lowest MIC values), whereas CHMB-Cu(II) acetate complex (C3) exhibited highest anticancer activity (with lowest IC50 = 44.78 μg).

description: Robust localization of organs in computed tomography scans is a constant pre-processing requirement for organ-specific image retrieval, radiotherapy planning, and interventional image analysis. In contrast to current solutions based on exhaustive search or region proposals, which require large amounts of annotated data, we propose a deep reinforcement learning approach for organ localization in CT. In this work, an artificial agent is actively self-taught to localize organs in CT by learning from its asserts and mistakes. Within the context of reinforcement learning, we propose a novel set of actions tailored for organ localization in CT. Our method can use as a plug-and-play module for localizing any organ of interest. We evaluate the proposed solution on the public VISCERAL dataset containing CT scans with varying fields of view and multiple organs. We achieved an overall intersection over union of 0.63, an absolute median wall distance of 2.25 mm, and a median distance between centroids of 3.65 mm.

Static displacement of spins spontaneously lifts the degeneracy of the ground state through the distance dependence of exchange coupling, i.e., a spin Jahn-Teller mechanism takes place. On the other hand, dynamical displacement does not lift the degeneracy, though the cluster distorts spontaneously. The energy decrease obtained by dynamical theory is twice as large as that obtained by static theory because of quantum fluctuation.

description: There is a well known saying: Research converts money into knowledge, innovation converts knowledge into money. The knowledge-based economy has four pillars: innovation, education, the economic and institutional regime, and information infrastructure. Transformation towards a knowledge-based economy will necessarily shift the proportion and growth of national income derived from knowledge-based industries, the percentage of the workforce employed in knowledge-based jobs and the ratio of firms using technology to innovate. Progress towards a knowledge-based economy will be driven by four elements: human capital development, knowledge generation and exploitation (R&D), knowledge infrastructure. Increased investment in these four areas will certainly have an impact. National experience, however, suggests that an incremental approach will not work. Nations that have achieved accelerated growth in outputs and capabilities have acted decisively, targeting investments in areas of strategic opportunity. The organizational and infrastructural improvement of research requires supranational cooperation and the promotion of the free movement of knowledge. Therefore, the EU decision on the establishment of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), which ensures that the GDP proportion for research and development (R&D) shall achieve 3% stipulated by member states in the long run, is particularly welcome.

DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT LEARNING SKILLS OF ENGLISH PHILOLOGY STUDENTS
Creators: name: Komilova, Mukhtasar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The development of independent learning skills is crucial for English philology students, as it enhances their ability to effectively acquire, analyze, and apply linguistic and cultural knowledge. This study explores strategies and methods that encourage autonomy in learning, with a focus on fostering critical thinking, self-regulation, and motivation. Key approaches include the integration of digital tools, project-based learning, and self-assessment techniques that empower students to take responsibility for their learning process. The study emphasizes the role of instructors in facilitating an environment that encourages exploration, reflection, and collaboration. By developing independent learning skills, students are better prepared to navigate the complexities of language acquisition, literary analysis, and cultural studies, ultimately leading to more successful academic and professional outcomes. The findings suggest that a structured yet flexible approach to independent learning can significantly enhance students' engagement, competence, and confidence in the field of English philology.

description: The paper uses a bi-regional CGE model to assess the potential impacts of an alternative rural development policy design, which is more targeted to public sector investments on the economic activity of a lagging region in Latvia. The results show the distribution of effects between the rural and urban areas within the region as well as differences in the impacts between the three policy scenarios that are explored. All scenarios generate positive effects in the economy. However, the “Investment in Public Sector with enhanced envelope” scenario is the one that leads to the largest impacts in the economy. The “Investment in Public Sector with no envelope” is the second best scenario and has better effects compared to the Scenario that has enhanced financial envelope but with no reallocation. Overall, the results suggest that it’s not only enhanced funding that will improve economic performance in an economy but also the targeting of these funds to the more productive sectors of the economy that have the highest linkages within the economy and consequently the potential to create strong direct and indirect effects spread to the regional economy.

description: Amorphous carbon (a-C) materials have diverse interesting and useful properties, but the understanding of their atomic-scale structures is still incomplete. Here, we report on extensive atomistic simulations of the deposition and growth of a-C films, describing interatomic interactions using a machine learning (ML) based Gaussian Approximation Potential (GAP) model. We expand widely on our initial work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 166101 (2018)] by now considering a broad range of incident ion energies, thus modeling samples that span the entire range from low-density ($sp^{2}$-rich) to high-density ($sp^{3}$-rich, "diamond-like") amorphous forms of carbon. Two different mechanisms are observed in these simulations, depending on the impact energy: low-energy impacts induce $sp$- and $sp^{2}$-dominated growth directly around the impact site, whereas high-energy impacts induce peening. Furthermore, we propose and apply a scheme for computing the anisotropic elastic properties of the a-C films. Our work provides fundamental insight into this intriguing class of disordered solids, as well as a conceptual and methodological blueprint for simulating the atomic-scale deposition of other materials with ML-driven molecular dynamics.

description: The metric of arbitrary dimensional Schwarzschild black hole in the background of Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe is presented in the cosmic coordinates system. In particular, the arbitrary dimensional Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric is rewritten in the Schwarzschild coordinates system and basing on which the even more generalized higher dimensional Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric with another extra dimensions is found. The generalized solution shows that the cosmological constant may roots in the extra dimensions of space.

description: We describe an experiment in which photon pairs from a pulsed parametric down-conversion source were coupled into single-mode fibers. Detecting one of the photons heralded the presence of the other photon in its fiber with a probability of 83%. The heralded photons were then used in a simple multi-photon interference experiment to illustrate their potential for quantum information applications.

description: Quantifying the uncertainty in model parameters and output is a critical component in model-driven decision support systems for groundwater management. This paper presents a novel algorithmic approach which fuses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Machine Learning methods to accelerate uncertainty quantification for groundwater flow models. We formulate the governing mathematical model as a Bayesian inverse problem, considering model parameters as a random process with an underlying probability distribution. MCMC allows us to sample from this distribution, but it comes with some limitations: it can be prohibitively expensive when dealing with costly likelihood functions, subsequent samples are often highly correlated, and the standard Metropolis-Hastings algorithm suffers from the curse of dimensionality. This paper designs a Metropolis-Hastings proposal which exploits a deep neural network (DNN) approximation of a groundwater flow model, to significantly accelerate MCMC sampling. We modify a delayed acceptance (DA) model hierarchy, whereby proposals are generated by running short subchains using an inexpensive DNN approximation, resulting in a decorrelation of subsequent fine model proposals. Using a simple adaptive error model, we estimate and correct the bias of the DNN approximation with respect to the posterior distribution on-the-fly. The approach is tested on two synthetic examples; a isotropic two-dimensional problem, and an anisotropic three-dimensional problem. The results show that the cost of uncertainty quantification can be reduced by up to 50% compared to single-level MCMC, depending on the precomputation cost and accuracy of the employed DNN.

description: Polmacoxib, a new COX-2 inhibitor with carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory action, is expected to help minimize the adverse effects associated with other NSAIDs, like GI (gastrointestinal) and CV (cardiovascular) system- related issues. The comparative efficacy and safety of polmacoxib 2 mg (manufactured by Hetero Labs Limited) versus celecoxib 200 mg (manufactured by Hetero Labs Limited) were assessed in this randomized, double-anonymous, clinical study in Indian adult patients diagnosed with idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA) of the 18 years and older patients of either sex, clinically and radiographically diagnosed idiopathic knee or hip OA were randomized to receive either polmacoxib or celecoxib in a 1:1 ratio. All patients were assessed with various pain measuring scales and recorded the scores at the end of weeks 3 and 6. The data for all the pain assessment scores were analyzed, and polmacoxib was found to be a non-inferior therapeutic agent compared to celecoxib in terms of safety and efficacy. (https://ctri.nic.in/CTRI/2022/05/042923) Gastric and cardiovascular system- related issues are the expected unwanted effects with the use of pain killers. Polmacoxib, a new drug for pain with dual action and lesser side effects, is expected to help in minimizing the unwanted effects like with other NSAIDs. The efficacy and safety of polmacoxib versus celecoxib were assessed in this clinical study in Indian adult patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee with no known reason. Adult male and female patients with knee or hip OA were taken into the study, polmacoxib or celecoxib were given to the patients in equal ratio, after obtaining a consent, which explains about the untoward effects of the treatment drugs and other study details. The severity of the pain in all the patients was estimated with standard pain measuring scales and recorded the scores at the end of weeks 3 and 6. Conclusion: The data for all the pain assessment scores were analyzed, and polmacoxib was found to be a non-inferior therapeutic agent compared to celecoxib in terms of safety and efficacy.

description: The possibility for self-financing in agriculture is very small, primarily due to lower labour productivity leading to lower rate of surplus value. Therefore, in the development of Serbian agriculture, special importance is attached to other sources of financing such as: the Agrarian budget, i.e. credits of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management; credits of business banks; development funds; leasing companies. With the reconstruction of the Serbian banking system in 1994, the primary issue, as an important source for financing agriculture used primarily for current reproduction, was abandoned. Due to transition to a market economy system and cancellation of financing from the primary issue, economic entities in agriculture have found themselves in a very unfavourable position. Therefore, in 2004, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management started, for the first time, with lending credits to agricultural entities. The source of money is the Agrarian budget of Serbia. Besides this important source for financing agriculture, the paper also analyses other mentioned sources for lending credits to Serbian agricultural entities in the transition period, i.e. from 2004 to 2008.

description: The study compared responders and nonresponders to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) regarding clinical pain outcomes in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Sixty participants received home-based active tDCS, and clinical pain outcomes were compared between responders and nonresponders. Latent class growth analyses classified 41 participants as responders and 19 as nonresponders. Responders showed significantly greater decreases in pain intensity from baseline to post intervention than nonresponders (p < .001). Participants with higher BMI (p = .02) and weight (p = .005) were more likely to respond, while no significant sociodemographic differences were found. Identifying characteristics of nonresponsive tDCS subgroups can tailor treatments for each group. www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier is NCT04016272. There is growing interest in using brain stimulation to help manage chronic pain. One approach, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), involves applying a gentle electrical current to the brain to alter pain signals. Research shows that tDCS can help reduce pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis, a common joint condition causing pain and stiffness. However, not everyone experiences the same level of pain relief with this treatment. This study looked at whether certain patient characteristics, like body weight, might influence how well tDCS works. Results showed that tDCS was more effective for people with knee osteoarthritis who have a higher body weight or body mass index (BMI). These findings suggest that tailoring tDCS treatments based on individual characteristics could make pain relief more effective for each patient. By identifying which patients respond best to tDCS, doctors may be able to develop more personalized and effective pain management therapies in the future.

description: As rural tourism evolves into diversification, the connection between the individual and local resource management is becoming an important issue for the sustainable evolution of rural tourism. To explore this point, we investigated conceptually and empirically whether rural tourism operators’ individual satisfaction enhances utilization of local resources and, if so, what mechanism works for it by focusing on rural tourism accompanied by an educational program, i.e. a farm-stay with farm and rural experience services implemented as a part of school trips in Matsuura, Japan. From statistical tests and an econometric estimation based on a questionnaire survey of rural tourism operators we found that operators’ individual satisfaction gained from interchange with visitors and direct feedback can positively enhance locally exerted effects that stimulate operators to recognize opportunities within their community and raise the potential for local resource use. Thus, we should strengthen this connection to eventually create a new viable activity.
