title: Effects of the Size of Acquisition on a Hotel Group's Financial Performance
Creators: name: Yang, Yun
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: This study investigates the relationships among the amount of money, the number of target hotels acquired in acquisitions, and financial performance of the acquirer hotel groups during the post- acquisition period. Results of a regression analysis revealed that the extent of increase in both EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) and Operating Efficiency Ratio of acquirer hotel groups were more dependent on the number of target hotels acquired by the acquirer hotel groups than on the amount of money invested in the acquisitions. The findings of this study indicate that more target hotels acquired by acquirer hotel groups resulted in both lower increased percentage of annual EBITDA and a higher increased percentage of annual Operating Efficiency Ratio. The size of acquisitions has significant influence on acquirer hotel groups’ financial perfor- mance, the directions of which vary between different indicators of corporate financial performance.

Constraining flavoured contact interactions at the LHC
Creators: name: Davidson, Sacha

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Contact interactions are the low-energy footprints of New Physics, so ideally, constraints upon them should be as generic and model independent as possible. Hadron colliders search for four-quark contact interactions with incident valence quarks, and the LHC currently sets limits on a flavour sum (over uu,dd and ud) of selected interactions. We approximately translate these bounds to a more complete (and larger) set of dimension-six interactions of specified flavours. These estimates are obtained at the parton level, are mostly analytic and are less restrictive than the experimental bounds on flavour-summed interactions. The estimates may scale in a simple way to higher energy and luminosity.

title: Does the Fear Index Incessantly Affect Stock Performance in the Lodging Industry?
Creators: name: Lelo de Larrea, Gabriela

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: This study investigates the impact of fear on stock returns of the lodging companies for two specific periods (from January 1997 to December 2007 and January 2008 to June 2018). While the literature has adequately studied the relationship for general stock returns, it has underemphasized a sector- based approach, including the lodging industry, toward understanding the connection. The study contributes to the literature by focusing on the short-term dynamic connection for the lodging firms and by providing theoretical propositions that could advance the theory building process. The results show that the fear index has lost its forward-looking capacity on stock performance in the lodging industry after 2018.

description: The bulk electronic structure of NiS$_{2-x}$Se$_x$ is studied across the bandwidth-control Mott transition (BCMT) by soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The microscopic picture of the BCMT in this multiband non-half-filled system is revealed for the first time. We show that Se doping does not alter the Fermi surface volume. When approaching the insulating phase with decreasing Se concentration, we observed that the Fermi velocity continuously decreases. Meanwhile, the coherent quasiparticle weight continuously decreases and is transferred to higher binding energies, until it suddenly disappears across the Mott transition. In the insulating phase, there is still finite spectral weight at the Fermi energy, but it is incoherent and dispersionless due to strong correlations. Our results provide a direct observation of BCMT, and unveil its distinct characters in a multiband non-half-filled system.

A synchrotron jet from a post-AGB star

description: (Abridged) The evolution of low- and intermediate-initial-mass stars beyond the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) remains poorly understood. High-velocity outflows launched shortly after the AGB phase are thought to be the primary shaping mechanism of bipolar and multipolar planetary nebulae (PNe). However, little is known about the launching and driving mechanism for these jets, whose momentum and energy often far exceed the energy that can be provided by radiation pressure alone. Here, we report direct evidence of a magnetically collimated jet shaping the bipolar morphology of the circumstellar envelope of a post-AGB star. We present radio continuum observations of the post-AGB star IRAS 15445-5449 which has water masers tracing a fast bipolar outflow. Our observations confirm the earlier observed steep negative spectral index of the spectral energy distribution (SED) above 3 GHz, and resolve, for the first time, the emission to originate from a radio jet, proving the existence of such jets around a post-AGB star. The SED is consistent with a synchrotron jet embedded in a sheath of thermal electrons. We find a close correspondence between the extent and direction of the synchrotron jet and the bipolar shape of the object observed at other wavelenghts, suggesting that the jet is responsible for the source morphology. The jet is collimated by a magnetic field of the order of mG at almost 7000 AU from the central star. We recover observations from the ATCA archive that indicate that the emission measure of the thermal component has increased by a factor of three between 1998 and 2005 after which it has remained constant. The short timescale evolution of the radio emission suggests a short lifetime for the jet.

Effects of immobilized immune complexes on Fc- and complement-receptor function in resident and thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages

description: We have examined the Fc- and complement-receptor function of resident and thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages plated on surfaces coated with rabbit antibody-antigen complexes and with complement. We derive four major conclusions from these studies. (a) The trypsin-resistant Fc receptors of resident and thioglycollate-elicited macrophages are completely modulated when these cells are plated on rabbit antibody-antigen complexes. Residual Fc receptor activity is a result of the incomplete modulation of trypsin-sensitive IgG2a receptors. (b) The complement receptors of thioglycollate-elicited macrophages, but not of resident macrophages, are modulated when these cells are plated on complement-coated surfaces. The capacity of the two cell types to modulate their complement receptors is correlated with their ability to ingest complement-coated erythrocytes. (c) The complement and Fc receptors of both types of macrophages move independently of one another. (d) Complement masks the Fc segments of IgG in immune complexes thereby rendering them ineffective as ligands for macrophage Fc receptors.

Concretamente esta conferencia se impartió el 13 de diciembre. La transformación digital de las universidades es un proceso necesario y requerido que se venía desarrollando en todas las instituciones con diferentes ritmos y que afecta a todas sus misiones. La COVID-19 supuso una prueba para la madurez de este proceso de transformación digital. Sin embargo, si se analiza con autocrítica el resultado de esta prueba, el estado de madurez de la transformación digital ha sido peor de lo esperado. En esta conferencia se va a analizar el efecto de la COVID-19 en la misión docente universitaria y las decisiones de gobernanza que se han tomado en 7 fases diferenciadas por las que ha pasado el profesorado universitario en esta pandemia, a saber: 1) sorpresa; 2) adaptación; 3) negación; 4) superación; 5) incertidumbre; 6) aceptación; y 7) autocrítica y reflexión.

description: Lymphoma cells were rapidly lysed by activated macrophages and granulocytes in the presence of PMA. Release of 51Cr from lymphoma cells correlated closely with their destruction as viewed by scanning electron microscopy, and with reduction in the number of trypan blue-excluding cells. The standard assay involved 51 Cr release measured at 4.5 h, but injury appeared to be complete in 1 h. Of eight different types of effector cells tested, only those releasing abundant H2O2 in response to PMA were effective, that, is BCG-, C. parvum-, or casein-activated macrophages, or thioglycollate-elicited granulocytes. Normal macrophages, J774 cells, or macrophages elicited with thioglycollate broth or proteose-peptone were ineffective. BCG-activated macrophages and granulocytes caused 50% specific release of 51Cr from P388 lymphoma cells at E:T ratios between 1.4 and 4.5, and from mouse erythrocytes at E:T ratios of 0.017 to 0.025. 10 types of target cells varied widely in their susceptibility to lysis by reagent H2O2, with one-half maximal lysis occurring at H2O2 concentrations ranging from 3.63 X 10(-6) M to 3.85 X 10(-5) M. Effector cells were expected to generate approximately that much H2O2 during the period of injury. Susceptibility of the target cells to lysis by PMA-triggered granulocytes correlated closely with their sensitivity to H2O2 (r = 0.98). The membrane-active agents LPS and digitonin, which did not trigger H2O2 release, did not trigger cytotoxicity. The dose-response curve for triggering of H2O2 release by PMA was identical to that for triggering cytotoxicity. These results provided strong circumstantial evidence for the importance of H2O2 in extracellular cytolysis by activated macrophages and granulocytes when pharmacologically triggered.

description: Genetic programming is a powerful heuristic search technique that is used for a number of real world applications to solve among others regression, classification, and time-series forecasting problems. A lot of progress towards a theoretic description of genetic programming in form of schema theorems has been made, but the internal dynamics and success factors of genetic programming are still not fully understood. In particular, the effects of different crossover operators in combination with offspring selection are largely unknown. This contribution sheds light on the ability of well-known GP crossover operators to create better offspring when applied to benchmark problems. We conclude that standard (sub-tree swapping) crossover is a good default choice in combination with offspring selection, and that GP with offspring selection and random selection of crossover operators can improve the performance of the algorithm in terms of best solution quality when no solution size constraints are applied.

description: Colorado advocates and policymakers have launched important recent initiatives—both legislated and proposed—to help the state’s struggling working families. This policy brief presents the results of three state policy reforms that promise to significantly improve the economic security of low-income Colorado families with children: (1) Implementing two state income tax credits for families with children that have been signed into law, the Child Tax Credit for children under six years old and the Earned Income Tax Credit; (2) Introducing a free and universal prekindergarten program for four-year-olds; and (3) Initiating universal, full-day kindergarten for five-year-olds. The impact of each of these reforms on the economic security of representative low-income families in the state is estimated with the National Center for Children in Poverty’s 2015 Colorado Family Resource Simulator (FRS) policy modeling tool, updated with the assistance of the Colorado Center on Law and Policy.

description: The very idea of carrying with me the territories I inhabit or have inhabited makes me think about the web of affections, memories, and feelings that involve the act of existing in the world. The entanglements in this net result between my touches from relations and body and places, groups, human and nonhuman, living and nonliving elements.

It is not solely about my body, of course; but about the complexity of all bodies inhabiting the world. That is why body-territory (or cuerpo-territorio) has been helping me understand the mesh enacted within the increasing use of big data to make urban policy decisions. Body-territory may be described as an idea-call drawn drom indigenous, peasant and feminist struggles in Latin America. It calls attention to the continuity and reciprocity between the "individual" body and the collective body and between the human body and the territory. With cities becoming more networked places, where big data emerges as a priority in urban management, it is relevant to ask what happens to the body(-territory) in a datafied city.

description: The structural evolution of the heavy nuclei, with Z > 82, is investigated by looking at the differential variation of the two-neutron separation energies. It indicates, by non-monotonous behavior at certain neutron numbers, structure phenomena such as major shell (N = 126) and deformed subshell (N = 152) closures. Another interesting effect is observed at N ~ 142, which is very well correlated with a previously observed, intriguing behavior of quantities measured in alpha decay, such as relative branching ratios and hindrance factors of excited states from the ground state band of deformed nuclei in this region. Corroboration of the existing experimental data indicates another possible deformed subshell closure.

Absence of Differential Correlations Between the Wave Equations for Upper-Lower One-Index Twistor Fields Borne by the Infeld-van der Waerden Spinor Formalisms for General Relativity

description: It is pointed out that the wave equations for any upper-lower one-index twistor fields which take place in the frameworks of the Infeld-van der Waerden γε-formalisms must be formally the same. The only reason for the occurrence of this result seems to be directly related to the fact that the spinor translation of the traditional conformal Killing equation yields twistor equations of the same form. It thus appears that the conventional torsionless devices for keeping track in the γ-formalism of valences of spinor differential configurations turn out not to be useful for sorting out the typical patterns of the equations at issue.

Three Policy Reforms to Help Low-Income Children in Ohio

description: Ohio advocates and policymakers have recently proposed important new policy initiatives to help the state’s struggling working families. This policy brief models three reforms that promise to significantly improve the economic security of low-income Ohio families with children. First, we examine the effect of introducing a free and universal prekindergarten program for four-year-olds on families’ out-of-pocket child care costs. Child care costs are a major expense for working parents. Second, we investigate the problem of the “canyon effect” in child care subsidy policy and identify solutions. As described by Policy Matters Ohio, the canyon effect occurs when a working parent who loses a child care subsidy—because she loses her job, for example—must take a job at a lower wage to qualify again for the subsidy. Because child care is so costly, a subsidy can make the difference between being able to work or not, so the parent has a strong incentive to recover child care assistance, even if it means moving down a career ladder. Finally, we model the effect of improving the state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) on the economic well-being of Ohio working families. The Ohio EITC is currently set at 10 percent of the federal credit and is not refundable, meaning that a family that has no income tax liability does not receive the credit. The improved EITC would be refundable and equal to 30 percent of the federal credit; it would also remove an existing cap on the credit for earnings above a very low level. The impact of each of these reforms on the economic security of representative low-income families in the state is estimated with the National Center for Children in Poverty’s 2015 Ohio Family Resource Simulator (FRS) policy modeling tool, updated with the assistance of Policy Matters Ohio.

Core theoretical concepts from Vygotsky's works include perezhivanie, speech development, and the zone of proximal development (ZPD). Three foundational principles for understanding second language acquisition within this framework encompass: (1) considering the environment as a wellspring of the ideal forms of the target language, (2) emphasizing internalization through active and meaningful social interactions, and (3) acknowledging optimal second language acquisition when effectively scaffolded in the zone of proximal development of the individual. Furthermore, we underscore the significance of ChatGPT's capabilities, including providing input in the target language, simulating genuine conversations, responding to queries on various subjects, and furnishing feedback—essential functions for cultivating the process of learning a second or foreign language.

description: Modeled after the hierarchical control architecture of power transmission systems, a layering of primary, secondary, and tertiary control has become the standard operation paradigm for islanded microgrids. Despite this superficial similarity, the control objectives in microgrids across these three layers are varied and ambitious, and they must be achieved while allowing for robust plug-and-play operation and maximal flexibility, without hierarchical decision making and time-scale separations. In this work, we explore control strategies for these three layers and illuminate some possibly-unexpected connections and dependencies among them. Building from a first-principle analysis of decentralized primary droop control, we study centralized, decentralized, and distributed architectures for secondary frequency regulation. We find that averaging-based distributed controllers using communication among the generation units offer the best combination of flexibility and performance. We further leverage these results to study constrained AC economic dispatch in a tertiary control layer. Surprisingly, we show that the minimizers of the economic dispatch problem are in one-to-one correspondence with the set of steady-states reachable by droop control. In other words, the adoption of droop control is necessary and sufficient to achieve economic optimization. This equivalence results in simple guidelines to select the droop coefficients, which include the known criteria for power sharing. We illustrate the performance and robustness of our designs through simulations.

description: When deprived of oxygen, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-activated macrophages no longer lysed P388 lymphoma cells. Both H2O2 release and cytotoxicity by BCG-activated macrophages and by granulocytes triggered with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) were markedly inhibited when the glucose concentration in the medium was reduced to 0.03 mM or less, or if glucose were replaced with galactose. Catalase abolished PMA-triggered cytotoxicity by both types of effector cells, whereas superoxide dismutase had no effect. Ferricytochrome C reduced the cytotoxicity of BCG-activated macrophages, an effect which was largely reversed by superoxide dismutase. 10 drugs, thought to quench singlet oxygen and/or scavenge hydroxyl radical, did not affect cytotoxicity in this system. Neither azide nor cyanide reduced cytolysis, but there was marked inhibition by lactoperoxidase and iodide. This suggested that cytotoxicity was not dependent upon myeloperoxidase, and that lactoperoxidase may have diverted H2O2 from the oxidation of target cells to oxidation of substances in serum. Mouse erythrocytes, although sensitive targets, interfered with the cytolysis of lymphoma cells, probably by competition for H2O2. Starch particles with covalently bound glucose oxidase resembled macrophages in their spatial relation to the target cells and in the flux of H2O2 they generated from their surface, but were not expected to produce any other potentially toxic products. Such particles lysed lymphoma cells, and the lysis was prevented by catalase. Neither arginase nor thymidine appeared to be involved in cytolysis by BCG-activated macrophages under the conditions used. These findings demonstrated that release of H2O2 was both necessary and sufficient for cytolysis by BCG-activated macrophages and by granulocytes when pharmacologically triggered.

description: Approximately 20% of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) exhibit broad, blue-shifted absorption lines in their ultraviolet spectra. Such features provide clear evidence for significant outflows from these systems, most likely in the form of accretion disk winds. These winds may represent the "quasar" mode of feedback that is often invoked in galaxy formation/evolution models, and they are also key to unification scenarios for active galactic nuclei (AGN) and QSOs. To test these ideas, we construct a simple benchmark model of an equatorial, biconical accretion disk wind in a QSO and use a Monte Carlo ionization/radiative transfer code to calculate the ultraviolet spectra as a function of viewing angle. We find that for plausible outflow parameters, sightlines looking directly into the wind cone do produce broad, blue-shifted absorption features in the transitions typically seen in broad absorption line QSOs. However, our benchmark model is intrinsically X-ray weak in order to prevent overionization of the outflow, and the wind does not yet produce collisionally excited line emission at the level observed in non-BAL QSOs. As a first step towards addressing these shortcomings, we discuss the sensitivity of our results to changes in the assumed X-ray luminosity and mass-loss rate, Mdot(wind). In the context of our adopted geometry, Mdot(wind) ~ Mdot(acc) is required in order to produce significant BAL features. The kinetic luminosity and momentum carried by such outflows would be sufficient to provide significant feedback.

description: In a recent article [P.K. Shukla, B. Eliasson and M. Akbari-Moghanjoughi, Physica Scripta {\bf 87}, 018202 (2013)] the authors criticized our analysis of the screened proton potential in dense hydrogen that was based on {\em ab initio} density functional theory (DFT) simulations [M. Bonitz, E. Pehlke, and T. Schoof, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 87}, 037102 (2013)]. In particular, they attributed the absence of the Shukla-Eliasson attractive force between protons in the DFT simulations to a failure of DFT. Here we discuss in detail their arguments and show that their conclusions are incorrect.

description: We have demonstrated that a murine cytotoxic peritoneal cell can be elicited by intraperitoneal immunization with heat-killed Mycobacterium bovis, strain Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). When these cells are injected together with cells of clone B(5)59 of B16 melanoma in a Winn-type transfer assay into syngeneic C57BL/6J mice, the tumorigenic potential of the melanoma is completely abrogated. Similarly, mice immunized intraperitoneally with dead BCG are protected against intraperitoneal challenge with a number of B16 melanoma cells sufficient to cause tumors in 100% of control mice. However, mice immunized intraperitoneally with dead BCG are not protected against tumor formation when B16 melanoma cells are injected subcutaneously. Co-injection of BCG-elicited peritoneal cells with B16 melanoma cells into nude or sublethally irradiated (650 rad) mice inhibits tumor formation in > 85% of the mice, indicating that additional participation of host bone marrow- or thymus-derived leukocytes is not required to eradicate the tumor implant. The effector cell in the BCG-induced peritoneal exudate is adherent and phagocytic and is a mononuclear phagocyte. Nonadherent lymphoid cells from the same BCG-induced peritoneal exudate and from thioglycollate-broth-elicited granylocytes and macrophages neither prevent nor delay B16 tumor formation.

description: A mathematical model for fluid and solute transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions. Its aim is to model ultrafiltration of water combined with inflow of glucose to the tissue and removal of albumin from the body during dialysis, and it does this by finding the spatial distributions of glucose and albumin concentrations and hydrostatic pressure. The model is developed in one spatial dimension approximation and a governing equation for each of the variables is derived from physical principles. Under certain assumptions the model are simplified with the aim of obtaining exact formulae for spatially non-uniform steady-state solutions. As the result, the exact formulae for the fluid fluxes from blood to tissue and across the tissue are constructed together with two linear autonomous ODEs for glucose and albumin concentrations in the tissue. The obtained analytical results are checked for their applicability for the description of fluid-glucose-albumin transport during peritoneal dialysis.

description: We study the properties of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)-impurity mixtures at finite temperature employing the Balian-Vénéroni (BV) variational principle. The method leads to a set of coupled nonlinear equations of motion for the condensate and its normal and anomalous fluctuations on the one hand, and for the impurity on the other. We show that the obtained equations satisfy the energy and number conserving laws. Useful analytic expressions for the chemical potential and the radius of both condensate and anomalous components are derived in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi (TF) approximation in $d$-dimensional regime. Effects of the impurity on these quantities are discussed.

description: We have examined the interaction between virulent egg yolk-grown L. pneumophila, Philadelphia 1 strain, and in vitro-activated human monocytes, under antibiotic-free conditions. Freshly explanted human monocytes activated by incubation with concanavalin A (Con A) and human lymphocytes inhibited the intracellular multiplication of L. pneumophila. Both Con A and lymphocytes were required for activation. Con A was consistently maximally effective at greater than or equal to 4 μg/ml.

Monocytes activated by incubation with cell-free filtered supernatant from Con A-sensitized mononuclear cell cultures also inhibited the intracellular multiplication of L. pneumophil a. The most potent supernatant was obtained from mononuclear cell cultures incubated with greater than or equal to 15 μg/ml Con A for 48 h. The degree of monocyte inhibition of L. pneumophila multiplication was proportional to the length of time monocytes were preincubated with supernatant (48 {greater than} 24 {greater than} 12 h) and to the concentration of supernatant added (40 percent {greater than} 20 percent {greater than} 10 percent {greater than} 5 percent). Monocytes treated with supernatant daily were more inhibitory than monocytes treated initially only. With time in culture, monocytes progressively lost a limited degree of spontaneous inhibitory capacity and also lost their capacity to respond to supernatant with inhibition of L. pneumophila multiplication.

Supernatant-activated monocytes inhibited L. pneumophila multiplication in two ways. They phagocytosed fewer bacteria, and they slowed the rate of intracellular multiplication of bacteria that were internalized. As was the case with nonactivated monocytes, antibody had no effect on the rate of intracellular multiplication in supernatant-activated monocytes.

Neither supernatant-activated nor nonactivated monocytes killed L. pneumophila in the absence of antibody. Both killed a limited proportion of these bacteria in the presence of antibody and complement.

We have previously reported that anti-L, pneumophila antibody and complement neither promote effective killing of L. pneumophila by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes nor inhibit the rate of L. pneumophila multiplication in monocytes. These findings and our present report that activated monocytes do inhibit L. pneumophila multiplication indicate that cell-mediated immunity plays a major role in host defense against Legionnaires' disease.
