An investigation of virtual product experience and its effect mechanism
Creators: name: Jiang, Zhenhui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A significant challenge is posed to online businesses by the inability of customers to directly feel, touch, or sample products sold over the world-wide-web. Virtual product experience (VPE) is designed to alleviate this concern, by providing interactive web interfaces that enable consumers to virtually experience online products via computer mice and keyboards. This study investigates the effects of VPE on web consumers' intentions to revisit particular websites and their intentions to complete purchases on the websites. Specifically, the study analyzes VPE by looking at its two fundamental technological characteristics: interactivity and vividness. Steuer has defined interactivity as "the extent to which users can participate in modifying the form or content of a mediated environment in real time", and defined vividness as "the representational richness of a mediated environment as defined by its formal features; that is, the way in which an environment presents information to the senses". A research model is proposed in this study. It posits that VPE affects consumers' behavioral intentions through the joint effects of vividness and interactivity. Both of these characteristics directly affect perceived diagnosticity, compatibility, and shopping enjoyment. Interactivity alone influences the perceived ease of use of websites, while perceived diagnosticity and compatibility influence perceived usefulness of the websites. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and shopping enjoyment together influence consumers' attitudes toward the websites, which, in turn, affect consumers' intentions to return to the websites. The model also posits that perceived diagnosticity reduces perceived product risk and improves customers' attitudes toward products. In addition, consumers' attitudes toward websites positively affect their attitudes toward products. Perceived product risk and attitudes toward products jointly affect consumers' intentions to purchase goods from particular websites. The research model was investigated in a laboratory experiment, by comparing participants' reactions to four different types of web interfaces: static-image, video-withoutnarration, video-with-narration, and VPE. Two products were presented on the experimental websites: a sports watch and a personal digital assistant (PDA). 176 subjects were recruited from to participate in the study. They were each randomly assigned to one of the four interface conditions and asked to examine the products as if they were shopping online. Experimental data was analyzed using PLS and MANOVA. Results have largely supported the research model.
Boundary conditions for augmented plane wave methods

description: The augmented plane wave method uses the Rayleigh-Ritz principle for basis functions that are continuous but with discontinuous derivatives and the kinetic energy is written as a pair of gradients rather than as a Laplacian. It is shown here that this procedure is fully justified from the mathematical point of view. The domain of the self-adjoint Hamiltonian, which does not contain functions with discontinuous derivatives, is extended to its form domain, which contains them, and this modifies the form of the kinetic energy. Moreover, it is argued that discontinuous basis functions should be avoided.

Signatures of Long-Range Spin-Triplet Component in Andreev Interferometer

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We analyze the Josephson,$I_{J}$, and dissipative,$I_{V}$, currents in a magnetic Andreev interferometer in the presence of the long-range spin triplet component (LRSTC). Andreev interferometer has a cross-like geometry and consists of a SF$_{l}$ - F - F$_{r}$S circuit and perpendicular to it a N - F - N circuit, where S, F$_{l,r}$ are superconductors and weak ferromagnets with non-collinear magnetisations $\mathbf{M}_{l,r}$, F is a strong ferromagnet with a high exchange energy. The ferromagnetic wire F can be replaced with a non-magnetic wire n. In the limit of a weak proximity effect (PE), we obtain simple analytical expressions for the currents $I_{J}$ and $I_{V}$. In particular, the critical Josephson current in a long Josephson junction (JJ) is $I_{c}(α,β)=I_{0c}χ(α,β)$, where the function $% χ(α,β)$ is a function of angles $(α,β)_{l,r}$ that characterize the orientations of $\mathbf{M}_{l,r}$. The oscillating part of the dissipative current $I_{osc}(V)=χ(α,β)\cos φI_{0}(V)$ in the N - F(n)- N circuit depends on the angles $(α,β)_{l,r}$ in the same way as the critical Josephson current $I_{c}(α,β)$, but can be much greater than the $I_{c}(α,β)$. At some angles the current $I_{c}(α,β)$ changes sign. We briefly discuss a relation between the negative current $I_{c}$ and paramagnetic response. We argue that the measurements of the conductance in N - F(n) - N circuit can be used as another complementary method to identify the LRSTC in S/F heterostructures.

description: We here put forward a new path-integral over Hilbert space and show that it reproduces quantum mechanics exactly. This approach works by optimizing the generating functional under a variation of the final state; it is hence an example of a future-input dependent theory. The benefit of this method is that entangled states appear in the paths directly, and the generating functional can be modified to also include wave-function collapse.

Trash or Treasure? A Qualitative Exploration of Gleaning By-Products in Tourism Supply Chains in Remote Filipino Fishing Communities

description: Souvenirs have become an integral part of consumptive tourism with marine curios being a common offering in coastal destinations. The Philippines, an emerging coastal destination is also a large exporter of marine shells. There is some overlap in the species exported as shell souvenirs and those that serve as an important protein source for coastal residents. In some such communities, following consumption of the mollusc, the shell by-products are discarded. Given the state of poverty common to many remote artisanal fishing communities coupled with the tourism demand for shell curio and handicraft, it is expected that potential opportunities exist for small-scale revenue generation from the sale of discarded shells. Using supply chain theory, this paper investigates the post-consumption use of shells obtained via gleaning activities in four remote Filipino fishing communities. Qualitative interviews revealed potential gaps and breakages in the supply chain that currently limit the potential for transitioning shells as waste/by-products to souvenir products in the tourism sector. The findings are discussed in terms of potential applications for environmental management and social development. The results suggest the potential for the transformation of an existing practice – gleaning and its by-products – into an in-demand curio product as a supplemental livelihood for impoverished fishing communities.

description: We have investigated the behavior of electronic phases of the second Landau level under tilted magnetic fields. The fractional quantum Hall liquids at $ν=$2+1/5 and 2+4/5 and the solid phases at $ν=$2.30, 2.44, 2.57, and 2.70 are quickly destroyed with tilt. This behavior can be interpreted as a tilt driven localization of the 2+1/5 and 2+4/5 fractional quantum Hall liquids and a delocalization through melting of solid phases in the top Landau level, respectively. The evolution towards the classical Hall gas of the solid phases is suggestive of antiferromagnetic ordering.

description: Consideramos, que la calidad de los alimentos territoriales debe ser abordada desde enfoques que integren la complejidad de sus múltiples dimensiones. Hasta el presente, los enfoques de la calidad han mostrado una oposición entre dos grandes escuelas: una escuela que podríamos calificar en términos de objetivadora. Los enfoques desarrollados al interior de esta escuela se orientan a materializar la calidad y a medirla a través de una serie de variables objetivables. Por su parte, la escuela subjetivadora, hace hincapié, a veces de manera unilateral, en el rol de los valores simbólicos asociados a la producción, elaboración y consumo de los alimentos. El presente enfoque propone considerar a la calidad de los alimentos desde una doble perspectiva constructivista. Por un lado, el considerar a la calidad como una construcción social, es decir « un proceso que pone, no solamente a los productos, sino también a las interacciones alrededor de la definición y el control de esos productos” (Casabianca y Valseschini, 1995). Por otro lado, abordamos el proceso de calificación del producto desde un enfoque científico constructivista. Este tipo de enfoque postula que la realidad (en nuestro caso la calidad de un alimento) no se puede conocer como lo que es. Esto se debe, a que al enfrentarse a un objeto, desde el marco cognitivo que dispone, cada persona no hace más que percibir y ordenar los datos que el objeto ofrece. El trabajo se apoyará en una selección de experiencias de terreno desarrolladas en el marco del Módulo “SIAL: investigación/acción en diferenciación de alimentos típicos” perteneciente al Área Estratégica de Tecnología de los Alimentos del INTA - Argentina). Se trata de las experiencias de trabajo en torno a las carnes vacunas de la pampa argentina, el Salame de Colonia Caroya y el queso de Amblayo. Estas experiencias son articuladas, además con la dinámica de investigación del laboratorio franco-argentino Agriterris y del RIMISP (Centro Latinoamericano para el Desarrollo Rural).

description: We discuss the design of quantum hybrid inertial sensor that combines an optomechanical inertial sensor with the retro-reflector of a cold atom interferometer. This sensor fusion approach provides absolute and high accuracy measurements with cold atom interferometers, while utilizing the optomechanical inertial sensor at frequencies above the repetition rate of the atom interferometer. This improves the overall measurement bandwidth as well as the robustness and field deployment capabilities of these systems. We evaluate which parameters yield an optimal acceleration sensitivity, from which we anticipate a noise floor at nano-g levels from DC to 1 kHz.

description: The introduction of the Integrated Projects of Food Chain requires the development of models capable of interpreting the dynamics of vertical and horizontal coordination between agents and the definition of the issues that most affect the ability of professionals to provide value added to goods and products to acquire in exchange a competitive advantage. With reference to the Basilicata region, the production structure of the region and the recent development of the Integrated Projects of Food Chain, this research has developed a new model of territorial organization of rural development. Now connect a new food chain model that combines theories of productivity, typical of contract economic, with those of social welfare and environmental economics: multifunctionality and biodiversity related to the needs of income and efficiency of companies in various stages of the food chain classic, in a context in which planning consultation is major determinant of local and regional development.

description: Notre contribution est issue de recherches conduites dans le cadre d’un programme interrégional PSDR1 (Liproco- Liens Producteurs – Consommateurs) portant sur « les démarches de valorisation des produits alimentaires et activités connexes fondées sur les proximités producteurs – consommateurs. ». Soulignant l’intérêt croissant tant des consommateurs qui s’interrogent sur leurs modes de consommation, que des acteurs qui en saisissent les enjeux pour leur territoire, nos travaux portent notamment sur les articulations existant entre les circuits courts et les problématiques de développement territorial. L’analyse cartographique multiscalaire constitue à notre sens un outil précieux permettant de relier et d’analyser les dynamiques de localisation des circuits courts et les contextes territoriaux étudiés. Notre communication porte donc sur la capacité et l’intérêt d’utilisation des systèmes d’information géographiques dans l’observation des démarches en circuits courts à l’échelle d’un territoire. Notre objectif consiste en particulier à développer l’itinéraire méthodologique visant à montrer la construction d’un outil d’analyse dont la complexité de mise en oeuvre repose sur plusieurs points. Tout d’abord la grande diversité des démarches en circuit court pose la question de la formalisation et de l’analyse de l’objet d’étude. Aussi le diagnostic territorial de notre zone d’étude a révélé l’absence de données organisées sur les démarches existantes, ce qui a nécessité une réflexion méthodologique poussée sur le choix et la structuration des données ainsi que sur leur représentation géographique. L’enjeu et l’intérêt d’une application en termes de systèmes d’information géographique sur notre thématique portent sur sa capacité à mettre en corrélation les dynamiques territoriales et le développement des circuits courts alimentaires au travers des données disponibles. Afin de mieux appréhender ce qu’il est possible de réaliser avec cet outil et la démarche mise en oeuvre, nous proposons une étude de cas à travers l’exemple de la région Bretagne, l’objectif étant d’exposer des exemples significatifs de l’intérêt et des limites de l’outil.

Quantum local conserved charges are shown to exist in exactly those models which also possess quantum non-local (Yangian) charges. The possibility of larger sets of quantum local charges is discussed and shown to be consistent with known S-matrix results and the behaviour of the corresponding Yangian representations.

description: In a market economy, poor breeding farmers usually face many difficulties due to the lack of information exchange in advanced technology and science, market and breeding experience. Cao Bang Province in the mountainous North of Viet Nam has the highest household poverty ratio, with 40% in 2007. The H’mong minority settled recently in the agro-ecological setting of the high mountains of Northern Vietnam, including Cao Bang, with small-scale land; therefore intensive livestock has become a main source for their livelihood. Cao Bang has two main local cattle races namely, “Small yellow” and “H’mong” registered in the Vietnam animal breed Atlas. H’mong beef accounts for 30% number of total animal. H’mong beef is indigenous breed, fairly weight, mature male beef weigh 400 – 600 kg, fresh red meat, and smooth muscle, special sweet tasting. This local H’mong beef has good meat quality but this quality value is not known by supermarket in cities due to the weak coordination in beef value chain. An actionresearch by CASRAD/CIRAD funded by IFAD (Superchain project) and aiming to link rural poor households to supermarkets and other quality chains has selected the H’mong beef value chain. The objective is to develop small scale H’mong beef farming in groups, and link them to high value chains becoming a localized production cluster, in a way which is suitable to breeding conditions in mountainous areas. The approach is based on the theories of Institutional economics and collective action (Dao the Anh et al., 2007). Collective actions of small scale farmers may reduce transaction costs; increase the size of commodities in trading and the possibility of market access of the farmers. It is also based on value chain analyze (Kaplinsky et al. 2001; Gereffi et al., 2003). Characteristics of transactions, in particular in terms of quality, and the supplier’s capacity will create different regulating structures of the value chains. The supply capacity in terms of quantity and quality is the key barrier of participation of the poor into the value chain.

description: Adversarial Imitation Learning alternates between learning a discriminator -- which tells apart expert's demonstrations from generated ones -- and a generator's policy to produce trajectories that can fool this discriminator. This alternated optimization is known to be delicate in practice since it compounds unstable adversarial training with brittle and sample-inefficient reinforcement learning. We propose to remove the burden of the policy optimization steps by leveraging a novel discriminator formulation. Specifically, our discriminator is explicitly conditioned on two policies: the one from the previous generator's iteration and a learnable policy. When optimized, this discriminator directly learns the optimal generator's policy. Consequently, our discriminator's update solves the generator's optimization problem for free: learning a policy that imitates the expert does not require an additional optimization loop. This formulation effectively cuts by half the implementation and computational burden of Adversarial Imitation Learning algorithms by removing the Reinforcement Learning phase altogether. We show on a variety of tasks that our simpler approach is competitive to prevalent Imitation Learning methods.

description: The usage of textile composites as lightweight gadgets is increasing day by day. The application range varies from personal protective tools to aerospace vehicle parts. However, every specific application demands specific functionality. Anisotropic nature of textile materials makes it possible to design composites in structural as well as non-structural shapes. In this research, single and multilayered textile composites were fabricated by using cotton woven fabric as a reinforcement and unsaturated polyester resin as a polymer. The fabrication was done at different degrees of curvature with different fabric orientations (i.e. the positioning of second and third layer fabric was turned from warp to weft) in multilayered composites to analyze their effect on the impact property of the resultant composite. Falling dart impact test was performed, to measure the impact properties of the samples. The curved specimens had shown higher strength as compared to the flat specimens. Furthermore, the increment in the degree of curvature causes the rise in fractural energy value. The number of layers has a direct effect on impact property as the number increases, the strength also increases. Finally, there was no significant effect of fabric orientation observed in double and triple layered composites.

description: The potentialities of MIMAC-He3, a MIcro-tpc MAtrix of Chambers of Helium 3, for supersymmetric dark matter search are discussed within the framework of effective MSSM models without gaugino mass unification at the GUT scale. A phenomenological study has been done to investigate the sensitivity of the MIMAC-He3 detector to neutralinos (m > 6 GeV/c2) via spin-dependent interaction with He3 as well as its complementarity to direct and indirect detection experiments. Comparison with other direct dark matter searches will be presented in a WIMP model-independent framework.

The identification of Dictyostelium phosphoproteins altered in response to the activation of RasG

description: Dictyosteliiim RasG has been implicated in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes, including the initiation of development, cell movement, and cytokinesis, but the molecular components of the signaling pathways involved are largely unknown. This thesis describes the search for putative downstream targets of the RasG signaling pathway through the identification of proteins whose level of phosphorylation were changed in response to the induction of a gene encoding an activated form of RasG, RasG(G12T). Two expression systems were tested to increase the level of RasG(G12T) in the cell. One system used the rasG(G12T) gene fused to the ribonucleotide reductase (rnrB) promoter. Induction of RasG(G12T) expression from this promoter was accompanied by a decrease in discoidin mRNA levels, a proposed negatively regulated target of RasG. Regulation of Discoidin expression was also down regulated in rasG null cells under all experimental conditions, but the response to well established discoidin regulators still occurred in this strain. These results revealed a role for RasG in modulating discoidin gene expression. A tetracycline-regulated expression system was used to study the effect of increasing the level of RasG(G12T) on the phosphorylation state of Dictyostelium proteins. Over 70 phosphorylated proteins in vegetative cells were resolved by 2D immunoblot analysis and thirteen proteins, which reproducibly changed in response to RasG(G12T) expression, were recovered from 2D gels and identified by mass spectrometry. The proteins identified were: the signaling proteins RasGEF-R and protein kinase B (PKB), the adhesion protein DdCAD-1, the cytoskeletal protein actin, the mitochondrial division protein FtsZA, as well as several proteins involved in protein translation or metabolism. An additional set of experiments showed that phosphorlyation of the vacuolar H+-ATPase component VatA upon folate stimulation was modulated by RasG. Two of the proteins whose phosphorylation levels were affected by RasG(G12T), DdCAD-1 and PKB, were analyzed further. Cells expressing RasG(G12T) exhibited increased cohesion and this increase correlated with DdCAD-1 localization and dephosphorylation. Induction of RasG(G12T) was also found to up-regulate both the basal and folate-induced level of phosphorylation of PKB, and cells expressing RasG(G12T) contained slightly more membrane bound PKB. Together the presented work has identified several proteins whose phosphorylation state was affected by RasG(G12T) and additional regulatory roles for RasG.

description: We present results of simulations of transitions in planar arrays of superheated superconducting granules (PASS) immersed in an external magnetic field parallel to the system. Analysis of the behaviour of the system when the external field is slowly increased from zero shows the existence of an interval of external fields for which no transitions are produced. This gap is found to be a consequence of ordering induced by transitions. However, this ordering is different for diluted and for concentrated systems. Avalanches of different sizes with distributions depending on concentration are observed.

description: The Einstein-de Haas (EdH) effect and its reciprocal the Barnett effect are fundamental to magnetism and uniquely yield measures of the ratio of magnetic moment to total angular momentum. These effects, small and generally difficult to observe, are enjoying a resurgence of interest as contemporary techniques enable new approaches to their study. The high mechanical resonance frequencies in nanomechanical systems offer a tremendous advantage for the observation of EdH torques in particular. At radio frequencies, the EdH effect can become comparable to or even exceed in magnitude conventional cross-product magnetic torques. In addition, the RF-EdH torque is expected to be phase-shifted by 90 degrees relative to cross-product torques, provided the magnetic system remains in quasi-static equilibrium, enabling separation in quadratures when both sources of torque are operative. Radio frequency EdH measurements are demonstrated through the full hysteresis range of micrometer scale, monocrystalline yttrium iron garnet (YIG) disks. Equilibrium behavior is observed in the vortex state at low bias field. Barkhausen-like features emerge in the in-plane EdH torque at higher fields in the vortex state, revealing magnetic disorder too weak to be visible through the in-plane cross-product torque. Beyond vortex annihilation, peaks arise in the EdH torque versus bias field, and these together with their phase signatures indicate additional utility of the Einstein-de Haas effect for the study of RF-driven spin dynamics.

description: We present calculations of non-LTE, relativistic accretion disk models applicable to the high/soft state of black hole X-ray binaries. We include the effects of thermal Comptonization and bound-free and free-free opacities of all abundant ion species. We present spectra calculated for a variety of accretion rates, black hole spin parameters, disk inclinations, and stress prescriptions. We also consider nonzero inner torques on the disk, and explore different vertical dissipation profiles, including some which are motivated by recent radiation MHD simulations of magnetorotational turbulence. Bound-free metal opacity generally produces significantly less spectral hardening than previous models which only considered Compton scattering and free-free opacity. It also tends to keep the effective photosphere near the surface, resulting in spectra which are remarkably independent of the stress prescription and vertical dissipation profile, provided little dissipation occurs above the effective photosphere. We provide detailed comparisons between our models and the widely used multicolor disk model. Frequency dependent discrepancies exist that may affect the parameters of other spectral components when this simpler disk model is used to fit modern X-ray data. For a given source, our models predict that the luminosity in the high/soft state should approximately scale with the fourth power of the empirically inferred maximum temperature, but with a slight hardening at high luminosities. This is in good agreement with observations. (abridged)

description: Massive stars are the most important building blocks of our universe. When they explode as supernovae, they enrich their environments with the elements from which the next generation of stars are formed. Amongst the OB stars, different types of stellar pulsations are observed that can be used to study the interiors of massive stars with asteroseismic tools. There are several excitation mechanisms at play and different factors like opacities, the interior mixing, rotation, and temperature profile, tidal forces, magnetic fields, mass loss, and stellar winds influence their pulsations. Thanks to the arrival of space missions providing ultra-precise light curves with a sufficiently long time base, including the BRITE constellation, we now have observations revealing signatures that can be used to study their effect. In this talk, I will focus on some of them to highlight the importance of the arrival of the space era to improve our understanding of OB stars.
