description: This study explores the hidden costs that often cause lost profitability for retail companies and ways to expose and eliminate such challenges. The researcher will study a Family Organization established as a holding company that includes more than sixty different business units with over forty branches; and will highlight issues concerning the complex nature of the company’s operations of its branches as interconnected, multi- functional business units. These, if enhanced, may be used to create a better working environment of an organization. Due to the growth of companies simultaneously in the vertical and horizontal dimensions, the companies remain stagnant rather than using strong routines of employing the Kaizen approach. They may just regard the higher costs as a sign of growth hence they can be cheerful with it. Similarly, it aims to create or develop new financial stability and maximum profitability, analyzing procurement cost behaviors, procurement methods purchases, and expenditure trends. Conducting a comparative analysis between ERP and qualitative data it was possible to define low performers such as procurement, billing and resource management. Some of the findings include facilitating stable purchasing habits, revisiting and reformulating supplier partnerships for cost savings as well as improving resource use to accomplish these and more. This study also alludes to the possibilities of “Lean Six Sigma” and similar approaches to waste and process improvement while emphasizing strategic sourcing and employee engagement as primary cost savings enablers. Hence, the study suggests retailing develops upon data analytics and fast decision-making by adopting supplier relationships and a continuous improvement culture. The different implementation and proactive measures such as the ones mentioned enable businesses to cut on their grey costs and survive in an overall competitive ecosystem of the retail world. As a result, the findings present retail firms with concrete solutions that benefit their financial performance and thus help them have a better sustainable competitive advantage in a saturated market.
Increasing the future usage of endangered language archives

description: For many field linguists, digital archiving has become an integral part of their research on endangered languages (indeed Himmelmann 2006 identifies archiving as an essential characteristic of language documentation, as he defines it). It has become clear to researchers and their funding agencies that the only way to preserve the valuable material they collect for current and future generations is to store it in specialized archives accompanied by sufficiently rich metadata descriptions. Several specialized digital archives that preserve materials on endangered languages have been established in the past decade and some already existing traditional language archives have moved into the digital era. Some, such as the Alaska Native Language Archive, or the California Language Archive, serve a specific geographical region, whereas others such as the DOBES and the ELAR archives are more globally oriented. According to Austin (2011), the first type of archive is most often used by members of the speaker communities, whereas the more globally oriented archives are mainly used by their depositors and other scholars. However, both types of archives could benefit from being used by more diverse groups of people.

Evaluation of the Radioactive and Noxious Gas Production for the DAPHNE Complex
Creators: name: L. Liberatori
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1994

description: One of the radiation protection problems usually considered around the accelerators is the radioactive and noxious gas production. In this note such a problem will be examined for the DAPHNE complex in order to establish the precautions to take for ensuring safe working conditions to the staff of the machines and to the other employees of the centre. Air inside the hall housing the machines will be activated by bremsstrahlung and by neutron radiation generated during the operation of the machines. The air irradiation also causes the formation of noxious gases such as ozone and nitrogen oxides and consequently an evaluation of the production of these gases has been also made. The concentration estimations inside the halls of the DAPHNE complex have been made on the basis of the realistic operation conditions of the machines, but conservative assumptions have been adopted in calculations, particularly regarding the values of the saturation activities. The radioactive gases produced inside the buildings housing the machines will be released in the external environment owing to the natural air-change inside the halls or to the forced ventilation. The atmospheric dispersal could expose the workers outside the buildings and the population, up to large distances from the centre, to radiological risks. Therefore, on the basis of a model of atmospheric dispersion the risks due to the releases activities from the DAPHNE complex have been evaluated.
Hearing Voices: Research and creative practice across cultures and disciplines

description: To date, I have done two projects with speakers of endangered languages in collaboration with linguists: one in Botswana and one in western Canada. Linguistically and culturally, both of these areas are among the world’s few fragile and dwindling ‘pockets of residual diversity’ (Nettle and Romaine 2000: 38). In 2001 I spoke at a conference at the University of Witswatersrand in Johannesburg about my project with Kenyan master musician Ingosi Mwoshi. Afterwards, while visiting my friend and colleague John McAllister in Botswana (who facilitated both the Kenyan work and later the Hearing Voices project), I heard a Zulu newsreader on television. At that time, I knew nothing about the origins of ‘clicks’ in southern African languages and next to nothing about language endangerment, but as an artist who is often led by my ears, I was intrigued and inspired by the integration of sounds like glottal stops and palatal clicks in speech and decided to develop a project which eventually grew, with financial assistance from the University of the Arts London, to include a gallery installation, a half-hour ‘composed documentary’ for BBC Radio 3 and a CD-ROM made in collaboration with HRELP.

description: Either ATIC or Fermi-LAT data can be fitted together with the PAMELA data by three components: primary background ~ E^{-3.3}, secondary background ~ E^{-3.6}, and an additional source of electrons ~ E^{-g_a} Exp(-E/E_{cut}). We find that the best fits for ATIC + PAMELA and for Fermi + PAMELA are approximately the same, g_a ~ 2 and E_{cut} ~ 500 GeV. However, the ATIC data have a narrow bump between 300 GeV and 600 GeV which contradicts the smooth Fermi spectrum. An interpretation of the ATIC bump as well as the featureless Fermi spectrum in terms of dark matter models and pulsars is discussed.

Subjects: floating offshore wind

description: Floating wind turbines can unlock the potential of wind energy in deep water around the world. Unlike fixed-bottom or land-based wind turbines, however, the industry lacks a platform standard and there is significant opportunity for novel innovations. One such innovative concept is the X1 Wind floating wind turbine concept, featuring a PivotBuoy® Single Point Mooring (SPM) system. The SPM system integrates the mooring, anchoring system and electrical point in a single point. By using a SPM connection, the system allows passive alignment with the wind, and therefore enables use of a downwind turbine that has secondary advantages around deflection constraints important for very large-scale offshore machines with highly flexible blades. A 1:3 scaled prototype of PivotBuoy will be installed and test in the Canary Islands test side, PLOCAN, in 2020. Two offshore floating wind dynamic analysis software tools, OrcaFlex [1] and HAWC2 [2], are used to model and assess the performance of the scaled concept. This work presents the comparison between codes on the 1:3 prototype design simulation and response. Differences in the modeling results are discussed with respect to the influence of the features of design, as well as the modeling features of the respective codes. This work is part of the PivotBuoy project funded under the H2020 program which includes the testing of a 1:3 scaled prototype in the Canary Islands test side, PLOCAN, in 2020.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Data Archive: Connecting communities and research data

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Data Archive (ATSIDA) is a specialist section of the Australian Data Archive (ADA) that manages the collection and storage of Australian Indigenous research data. It is important to collect and preserve the data being produced by researchers in this field to make it available for secondary access and use, both as a means of reducing the burden on over-researched Indigenous communities, and enabling informed analysis in areas of national priority. Research and documentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages is a significant area of attention, and the data created during this research should be managed in order to secure its long term preservation. While budget limitations for higher education and cultural institutions present considerable challenges to projects such as ATSIDA, the potential benefits are enormous for all stakeholders and to society as a whole. The digital domain offers opportunities for archives to be constructed in sustainable ways that ensure that communities keep connected to their cultural heritage materials. The work of ATSIDA demonstrates that archive programs can be based on effective protocols that embrace principles of trust, respect and engagement with Indigenous communities.

Archiving for the community: Engaging local archives in language documentation projects
Creators: name: Wilbur, Joshua
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: An increased awareness of documentary linguists’ ethical responsibilities towards the communities where they work, particularly where languages are endangered, has heightened the importance of providing access to linguistic materials not only to the international academic community, but also to members of the language communities themselves. A local archiving institution (such as a local library or museum) can play a vital role in ensuring such access both now and in the future because it can potentially overcome certain technical and language-based hurdles encountered by some language communities. However, a number of challenges exist in archiving locally due to lack of technical infrastructure and experience, and limited prioritization of language materials. In the following discussion, I describe my own experiences gained in working with local archiving institutions in northern Sweden while carrying out the Pite Saami Documentation Project. First, this should provide an impression of how a variety of local institutions can serve as repositories of digital language materials. Second, these experiences will establish a foundation to discuss some practical aspects of fulfilling the ethical responsibility to provide documentation materials to local communities. In doing so, I outline ideas about the implementation of this for other (endangered) language documentation projects.

Multi-strand coronal loop model and filter-ratio analysis

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We model a coronal loop as a bundle of seven separate strands or filaments. Each of the loop strands used in this model can independently be heated (near their left footpoints) by Alfvén/ion-cyclotron waves via wave-particle interactions. The Alfvén waves are assumed to penetrate the strands from their footpoints, at which we consider different wave energy inputs. As a result, the loop strands can have different heating profiles, and the differential heating can lead to a varying cross-field temperature in the total coronal loop. The simulation of TRACE observations by means of this loop model implies two uniform temperatures along the loop length, one inferred from the 171:195 filter ratio and the other from the 171:284 ratio. The reproduced flat temperature profiles are consistent with those inferred from the observed EUV coronal loops. According to our model, the flat temperature profile is a consequence of the coronal loop consisting of filaments, which have different temperatures but almost similar emission measures in the cross-field direction. Furthermore, when we assume certain errors in the simulated loop emissions (e.g., due to photometric uncertainties in the TRACE filters) and use the triple-filter analysis, our simulated loop conditions become consistent with those of an isothermal plasma. This implies that the use of TRACE/EIT triple filters for observation of a warm coronal loop may not help in determining whether the cross-field isothermal assumption is satisfied or not.
Participant-driven language archiving
Creators: name: Garrett, Edward
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper presents some general considerations and some specific desiderata for what I call participant-driven language archiving (PDLA). PDLA is an archiving component that assigns role-appropriate archiving rights and responsibilities to individuals and communities who participate as ‘human subjects’ of linguistic research. Language archives claiming to serve speaker communities as well as researchers should have a coherent strategy for involving community members in the archiving process. They can engage relevant stakeholders in the continual recreation of meaning from archived material to ensure that those materials do not become dated or frozen in time. Moreover, they can address asymmetries in the treatment by archives of depositors versus the participants in the language documentation process. Enabling speakers to assert their moral authority over materials that they participated in creating, and connecting them to other archive users, will raise new potentials and challenges while moving archiving and language documentation in an exciting new direction.

Living archives: A community-based language archive model

description: Building on the models of Community-Based Language Research (Czaykowska-Higgins 2009) and Participatory Archives (Huvila 2008), I propose a Community-Based Language Archive model (CBLA), and outline its implications for archiving, documentary linguistics and language maintenance, revitalization and renewal. Implementation of a community-based language archive will vary according to the geographic location, local community, and archive, and it will change as new technologies advance. So, this paper does not pretend to present something that is radically new, but to articulate endangered language archives’ roles in language documentation and description, as well as their place in the wider archive community, and in language revitalization. Rather, I argue that community-based language archives are at the forefront of an emerging broader trend to ‘participatory delivery’ of information within which archives can be increasingly relevant.

Mediating language documentation
Creators: name: Holton, Gary
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: As a discipline, archiving is often presented in terms of the competing goals of preservation and access. One could argue that this disconnect between access and usage need not concern an archive. Yet, to dismiss the issue of usage by arguing that materials may eventually become useful is to ignore the great need for immediately useful language materials. If language documentation is being made accessible to communities but not being used, then access alone is not sufficient. Archives must strive for something more than providing access. Bridging the gap between access and usage requires that archive resources be MEDIATED so that they become not only accessible to user communities but also relevant. The concept of mediation as discussed here is in some ways similar to what Nathan (2006) describes as mobilization. However, unlike mobilization, mediation does not require that archive resources be transformed but only that they be presented in a way that they become more relevant. While mobilization involves the creation of derivative products, mediation can be as simple as enriching metadata descriptions with relevant fields or highlighting particularly useful resources within large collections. In particular, mediation requires that the archive knows and works closely with its user community.

We use here different line fluxes in order to probe the properties of the ELR, such as the hydrogen Balmer lines (Ha to He), the helium lines from two subsequent ionization levels (He II 4686 and He I 5876) and the strongest Fe II lines in the wavelength interval 4400-5400 Å. We found that the hydrogen Balmer and helium lines can be used for the estimates of the physical parameters of the BLR, and we show that the Fe II emission is mostly emitted from an intermediate line region (ILR), that is located further away from the central continuum source than the BLR.

Archives and audiences: Toward making endangered language documentations people can read, use, understand, and admire
Creators: name: Woodbury, Anthony C.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: Language documentation leads to the accumulation of linguistic records in vast quantity. Digital archives of language documentation have, of course, much in common with traditional ones. Still, digital archives are different. These differences all have impacts on how archives are conceived, and on what we ask of them. In effect archives are becoming a means for communicating results to a wide range of audiences. And this in turn may affect how archives work with more traditional corpora whose creators (or assemblers) assign to themselves a less explicitly authorial role. In this paper I want to make some suggestions for how language documenters can properly pursue this view of their work. I want to explore how documenters might produce documentations that people can read, use, understand and admire: documentations that genuinely address their audiences. I also want to explore how archives can accommodate such efforts. And I want to explore what audiences themselves can contribute, so that the efforts do not grow in a vacuum.

title: Prehispanic and colonial Maya subsistence and migration: contributions from stable sulfur isotope analysis.
Creators: name: Rand, Asta Jade
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The Maya who inhabited southeastern Mesoamerica from the Preclassic to Colonial periods (1000 BCE to 1821 CE) have been the focus of intensive archaeological study for over a century. Recent theoretical and methodological developments have contributed to nuanced understandings of Maya migration and subsistence practices. Stable sulfur isotope (δ³⁴S) analysis of bone collagen is a novel technique that has been applied to Maya skeletal collections, although the variation in environmental δ³⁴S values throughout the Maya region has yet to be systematically characterized. This research presents the first Maya faunal sulfur isotope baseline based on the δ³⁴S values of 148 archaeological faunal remains from 13 sites in the Northern and Southern Lowlands. As expected, terrestrial animals in coastal areas had elevated δ³⁴S due to sea spray. However, those from inland sites had unexpectedly high δ³⁴S values that varied depending on the age of the underlying limestone. Although the δ³⁴S values of marine animals were lower than expected, similarly low values in freshwater animals permits the differentiation of freshwater and terrestrial animals at inland sites. These data demonstrate that sufficient variation in δ³⁴S values exists in the Maya region to identify sources of protein and nonlocal animals, which speaks to prehispanic Maya animal exchange and interregional interaction. The δ³⁴S values of 49 humans from seven Maya sites ranging from the Preclassic to Colonial periods were also interpreted using the faunal baseline. The spatial distribution of human δ³⁴S values differed from that of the terrestrial fauna, demonstrating sociocultural variation in Maya resource procurement in addition to underlying environmental influences. A comparison of carbon and nitrogen data from the same individuals also revealed the consumption of protein from different catchments. Nonlocal δ³⁴S values show three individuals migrated near the end of their lives, and when integrated with childhood strontium and oxygen isotope data from tooth enamel, demonstrate a more robust means of investigating the length of residence and potentially the extent of integration into the receiving community. Finally, a case study of the prehispanic Maya from Nakum, Guatemala, demonstrates the contributions of stable sulfur isotope analysis to the interpretation of Maya subsistence strategies and migration when integrated into a multi-isotopic approach.
Stability of warped AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity

description: AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity (TMG) have been shown to be perturbatively unstable for all values of the coupling constant except the chiral point μl=1. We study the possibility that the warped vacua of TMG, which exist for all values of μ, are stable under linearized perturbations. In this paper, we show that spacelike warped AdS3 vacua with Compere-Detournay boundary conditions are indeed stable in the range μl > 3. This is precisely the range in which black hole solutions arise as discrete identifications of the warped AdS3 vacuum. The situation somewhat resembles chiral gravity: although negative energy modes do exist, they are all excluded by the boundary conditions, and the perturbative spectrum solely consists of boundary (pure large gauge) gravitons.

Correlation between technetium and lithium in a sample of oxygen-rich AGB variables

description: The aims of this paper are: 1) to revisit the Tc content of a sample of oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) variables and 2) to increase the number of such stars for which the Li abundance has been measured to provide constraints on theoretical models of extra-mixing processes. To this end, we analysed high-resolution spectra of 18 sample stars for the presence of absorption lines of Tc and Li. The abundance of the latter was determined by comparing the observed spectra to hydrostatic MARCS model spectra. Bolometric magnitudes were established from near-IR photometry and pulsation periods. We reclassify the star V441 Cyg as Tc-rich, and the unusual Mira star R Hya, as well as W Eri, as Tc-poor. The abundance of Li, or an upper limit to it, was determined for all of the sample stars. In all stars with Tc we also detected Li. Most of them have a Li content slightly below the solar photospheric value, except for V441 Cyg, which has ~1000 times the solar abundance. We also found that, similar to Tc, a lower luminosity limit seems to exist for the presence of Li. We conclude that the higher Li abundance found in the cooler and higher luminosity objects could stem from a Li production mechanism operating on the AGB. The stellar mass might have a crucial influence on this (extra-mixing) production mechanism. It was speculated that the declining pulsation period of R Hya is caused by a recent thermal pulse (TP). While not detecting Tc does not rule out a TP, it indicates that the TPs are not strong enough to drive dredge-up in R Hya. V441 Cyg, on the other hand, could either be a low-mass, intrinsic S-star that produced its large amount of Li by extra-mixing processes, or an intermediate-mass star (M>=M_sun) undergoing Li production due to hot bottom burning.

description: In the frame of the ATLAS collaboration, the LASA Laboratory had to provide the acquisition system for the electrical signals from the B0 model coil. B0 is a full scale model, one third length of ATLAS barrel toroid eight coils. The B0 construction was decided to test the technical construction solutions and reproduce the final coils behaviour.  Two types of electrical signal must be handled, the isolated and the non-isolated ones. The isolated signals, for example, come from the inductive pick-up coil, while the non isolated signals are the ones coming directly from the cable.In order to interrupt the ground loops, reject the common-mode voltage, the electromagnetic noise and to protect the acquisition system from overvoltages during a quench, galvanic insulation must be provided.In this paper the test performed on two existing insulating CERN cards (POTAIM and DVMM) are reported. Then a new card design, better fitting the acquisition electronicrequirements, is discussed.The design is validated by the utilization of the acquisition cards and system for the B00 tests. Typical signals from the B00 magnet are reported; the noise problem is discussed and the noise reduction solution is presented.

description: We present a method which displays all palindromes of a given length from De Bruijn words of a certain order, and also a recursive one which constructs all palindromes of length $n+1$ from the set of palindromes of length $n$. We show that the palindrome complexity function, which counts the number of palindromes of each length contained in a given word, has a different shape compared with the usual (subword) complexity function. We give upper bounds for the average number of palindromes contained in all words of length $n$, and obtain exact formulae for the number of palindromes of length 1 and 2 contained in all words of length $n$.

description: We find in complementary experiments and event driven simulations of sheared inelastic hard spheres that the velocity autocorrelation function $ψ(t)$ decays much faster than $t^{-3/2}$ obtained for a fluid of elastic spheres at equilibrium. Particle displacements are measured in experiments inside a gravity driven flow sheared by a rough wall. The average packing fraction obtained in the experiments is 0.59, and the packing fraction in the simulations is varied between 0.5 and 0.59. The motion is observed to be diffusive over long times except in experiments where there is layering of particles parallel to boundaries, and diffusion is inhibited between layers. Regardless, a rapid decay of $ψ(t)$ is observed, indicating that this is a feature of the sheared dissipative fluid, and is independent of the details of the relative particle arrangements. An important implication of our study is that the non-analytic contribution to the shear stress may not be present in a sheared inelastic fluid, leading to a wider range of applicability of kinetic theory approaches to dense granular matter.

Year: 2014

description: All but two of the papers in this volume of Language Documentation and Description are written up versions of presentations given at the Language Documentation and Archiving Workshop held at SOAS on 17th November 2011 in conjunction with the third Language Documentation and Linguistic Theory conference. There are two additions: the first is a chapter on research and creative arts practice across cultures and disciplines by John Wynne that describes work he carried out over several years in collaboration with Robert Munro and David Nathan (SOAS) on interactions between archival materials and sound art. The second addition is David Nathan’s account of the model of language archiving that he and his colleagues developed for the Endangered Languages Archive (SOAS) inspired by social networking. It is a revised version of a book chapter published in 2013 which covers and complements many issues relevant to the other papers in this volume.

description: We extend the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) by adding a right-handed neutrino superfield ($ν$CMSSM) which decouples close to the GUT scale. We study the effects of a right-handed neutrino on the low energy spectrum and focus on the predictions for dark matter properties. We pay particular attention to the realization of the light (left-handed) sneutrino which can be the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) with either the neutralino or gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). Notably, for the case of a neutralino LSP with a sneutrino NLSP, there are new `sneutrino coannihilation regions' which yield the desired thermal neutralino relic density determined by WMAP.

description: Flame combustion is most prominent with fuels that have been premixed with an oxidant, either oxygen or a compound that provides oxygen, for the reaction. The temperature of flames with this mixture is often several thousand degrees Celsius. The chemical reaction in such flames occurs within a narrow zone several micrometers thick. This combustion zone is usually called the flame front. Dilution of the burning mixture with an inert gas, such as helium or nitrogen, lowers the temperature and, consequently, the reaction rate. Great amounts of inert gas extinguish the flame, and the same result is achieved when substances that remove any of the active species are added to the flame. Conditions must be such that the flame is fixed at the burner nozzle or in the combustion chamber; this positioning is required in many practical uses of combustion. Various devices, such as pilot flames and recirculation methods, are designed for this purpose. The principal quantitative characteristic of a flame is its normal, or fundamental, burning velocity, which depends on the chemical and thermodynamic properties of the mixture and on pressure and temperature, under given conditions of heat loss. The burning velocity value ranges from several centimeters to even tens of meters per second. The dependence of the burning velocity on molecular structure, which is responsible for fuel reactivity, is known for a great many fuel-air mixtures.

Baryon stopping in 40 and 158 GeV/nucleon Pb+Pb collisions

description: Proton rapidity distributions have been measured by the NA49 collaboration in 40 and 158 GeV/nucleon Pb+Pb collisions as function of collision centrality. We find that the shape and the yield per wounded nucleon in the mid-rapidity region vary little with centrality and are similar to the distributions obtained from inelastic p+p interactions. This observation is satisfactorily described by the transport models HSD and UrQMD, although there are significant differences in the details of the spectral shape between the experimental data and the models as well as between the models. The approximate invariance of the normalized proton spectrum in the vicinity of mid-rapidity suggests that multiple nucleon-nucleon interactions in nuclear collisions at SPS energies have little effect on the spectra of those final state protons which are slowed down the most.
