Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2015

description: This study aims to understand the language patterns that are used on websites for influencing travelers to visit Gallipoli by analysing emotive language and categorising it according to different segmentations of Gallipoli visitors. Websites promoting Gallipoli were identified through Google. Wordle software was used for conducting a website content analysis. The results show that the language used in websites represents a commemorative experience. The findings suggest a good fit between the descriptive language used to represent the dark tourism destination attributes of Gallipoli and the emotive language used to motivate visitors to the site. Moreover, the imagery of thanatourism marketed online was categorised by emotive language to identify discreet market segments. However, as the emotive language used online can influence the visitors’ expectations, it is suggested that the former may result in visitor dissatisfaction.

description: We reassess the method of the linear delta expansion for the calculation of effective potentials in superspace, by adopting the improved version of the super-Feynman rules in the framework of the O'Raifeartaigh model for spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The effective potential is calculated using both the fastest apparent convergence and the principle of minimal sensitivity criteria and the consistency and efficacy of the method are checked in deriving the Coleman-Weinberg potential.

Whether new data on $D_s\to f_0(980) e^+ ν_e$ can be understood if $f_0(980)$ consists of only the conventional $q\bar{q}$ structure

description: Only two isospin-singlet scalar mesons $f_0(600)$ ($σ$) and $f_0(980)$ exist below 1 GeV, so that it is natural to suppose that they are two energy eigenstates which are mixtures of ${1\over\sqrt 2}(u\bar u+d\bar d)$ and $s\bar s$. Is this picture right? Generally, it is considered that $f_0(600)$ mainly consists of ${1\over\sqrt 2}(u\bar u+d\bar d)$, if so, the dominant component of $f_0(980)$ should be $s\bar s$. The recent measurement of the CLEO collaboration on the branching ratio of $D_s\to f_0(980) e^+ ν_e$ provides an excellent opportunity to testify the structure of $f_0(980)$, namely whether the data can be understood as long as it consists of mainly the conventional $q\bar q$ structure. We calculate the form factors of $D_s\to f_0(980)$ in the light-front quark model (LFQM) and the corresponding branching ratio of the semileptonic decay. By fitting the data, we obtain the mixing angle $ϕ$. The obtained mixing angle shows that the $s\bar s$ component in $f_0(980)$ may not be dominant.

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2015

description: Technological advancement did not spare or steer clear of tourism. From the economic point of view, new techniques and procedures introduced within the field of tourism resulted in positive trends. However, when examined from the tourists point of view and their needs, the development effects remain controversial. The aim of this paper is to provide insight into the question of whether the effects of technological advancement on tourism can be considered beneficial or harmful, and to what degree. This paper also examines how technological advancement reflects on tourism, using the County of Istria (Croatia) as an example. It also outlines the situation in tourism in the past and in the present within this context.

Six Tc-99m labelled dibasic acids : an investigation of their potential use as scintiscanning agents
Creators: name: McOrmond, Philip Murray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Six low molecular weight dibasic acids labelled with technetium -99m were investigated for their potential use as scanning agents. Preliminary radioscintiscans of rabbits showed the main areas of localization for all the acids. From this study, the most promising of the compounds, malonic acid, was chosen for further investigation. Toxicity studies were performed on mice using a complex of stannous chloride and malonic acid given intravenously. The LD₅₀ for the complex was determined to be 800 (734-872) mg/kg. The excretion rate of the labelled complex was examined in mice and the activity was found to be eliminated in two components. The fast component had a half-life of 46.8 minutes, and consisted of 70.3 percent of the administered dose; the slow component, accounting for the remainder of the administered dose, had a half-life of 196.4 minutes. The excreted urine was found to contain the entire injected dose. The tissue distribution of technetium -99m - malonate in mice was analyzed with the highest concentration of activity occurring in the kidneys and blood. The liver, spleen, large and small bowels, brain, stomach, lungs, bone, and muscle were also investigated for their content of the labelled complex. Scintiscans were done on rabbits using technetium -99m - malonate to determine the dynamic flow pattern of the complex and to evaluate the scans at various time intervals after injection. A renogram was obtained using the Dyna Camera® to record the pattern of activity through the kidneys. This curve demonstrated that a fast component of excretion with a half-life of 5.5 minutes exists in the rabbit kidney. Absorbed dose calculations were computed for the whole body, kidney, liver, skeleton, and bladder. The bladder component was computed twice, once assuming complete urine retention and again assuming catheterization. The radiation doses were calculated as 26 mrads/ 10 mCi. for the whole body, 159 mrads/10 mCi. for the kidneys, 103 mrads/ 10 mCi. for the liver, 2064 mrads/10 mCi. for the skeleton and 11.9 rads/ 10 mCi. for the bladder assuming complete urinary retention. With the bladder catheterized. the doses fell to: 138 mrads/10 mCi., 43 mrads/ 10 mCi., 103 mrads/10 mCi., and 1.5 mrads/10 mCi. for the kidneys, liver, skeleton, and bladder respectively.
title: Surviving a Civil War: Expanding the Scope of Survival Analysis in Political Science
Creators: name: Whetten, Andrew B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Survival Analysis in the context of Political Science is frequently used to study the duration of agreements, political party influence, wars, senator term lengths, etc. This paper surveys a collection of methods implemented on a modified version of the Power-Sharing Event Dataset (which documents civil war peace agreement durations in the Post-Cold War era) in order to identify the research questions that are optimally addressed by each method. A primary comparison will be made between a Cox Proportional Hazards Model using some advanced capabilities in the glmnet package, a Survival Random Forest Model, and a Survival SVM. En route to this comparison, issues including Cox Model variable selection using the LASSO, identification of clusters using Hierarchal Clustering, and discretizing the response for Classification Analysis will be discussed. The results of the analysis will be used to justify the need and accessibility of the Survival Random Forest algorithm as an additional tool for survival analysis.

Year: 2015

description: The study is a contribution towards designing tourism marketing strategy based on hard data. Statistical tests were performed in SPSS with a goal to differentiate groups of tourists both on the supply and demand side of the market, in order to gain deeper understanding of the Serbian tourist market. The study results and recommendations should be used as a contribution towards designing national and regional destination marketing strategies. The Serbian tourism market is very rich in small niches on both supply and demand side of the market. This study attempted to demonstrate the important differences these groups of tourists do exhibit in terms of key behavioral traits. Tourism policy should address the identified groups of tourists with specially designed marketing and communication strategies, appropriate to the tourist’s needs and attitudes.

description: If humanity is ever to consider substantial, long-term colonization of Mars, the resources needed are going to be extensive. For a long-term human presence on Mars to be established, serious thought would need to be given to terraforming the planet. One major requirement for such terraforming is having the protection of a planetary magnetic field which Mars currently does not have. In this article we explore comprehensively for the first time, the practical and engineering challenges that affect the feasibility of creating an artificial magnetic field capable of encompassing Mars. This includes the concerns that define the design, where to locate the magnetic field generator and possible construction strategies. The rationale here is not to justify the need for a planetary magnetosphere but to put figures on the practicalities so as to be able to weigh the pros and cons of the different engineering approaches. The optimum solution proposed is completely novel, although inspired by natural situations and fusion plasma techniques. The solution with the lowest power, assembly and mass is to create an artificial charged particle ring (similar in form to a "radiation belt"), around the planet possibly formed by ejecting matter from one of the moons of Mars (in fashion similar to that that forms the Io-Jupiter plasma torus), but using electromagnetic and plasma waves to drive a net current in the ring(s) that results in an overall magnetic field. With a new era of space exploration underway, this is the time to start thinking about these new and bold future concepts and to begin filling strategic knowledge gaps. Furthermore, the principles explored here are also applicable to smaller scale objects like manned spacecraft, space stations or moon bases, which would benefit from the creation of protective mini-magnetospheres.

Year: 2015

description: This research was conducted to investigate the factors that motivate tourist to visit highland destination as well as to study the relationship between sociodemographic factor and travelling characteristics found in the tourist motivations to visit highland destinations. The accomplishment of this research was achieved through the accumulation of empirical data at Penang Hill, Malaysia using complete set of questionnaires. By using the principal component analysis, this study has identified three push and pull factors. The three push factors are "escape factor "; “to rest and build closer bond factor; "prestige and safety factor". The pull factors that can be identified are “the beauty of nature factors”;"infrastructure of the city and George Town factor" and "management and safety factor". Furthermore, the results of multiple regression analysis performed show that the manipulated variables (socio-demographic and travel characteristics) have influenced the tourist motivation in highland destinations.

title: Training Non-Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Behavior Specialists to Conduct Trial-Based Functional Analyses in Residential Settings
Creators: name: Millington, Devon S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: This study investigated a process for identifying the reasons why a person with an intellectual disability has problem behaviors. This process is called a trial-based functional analysis (TBFA). The researchers wanted to know if a person who was not an expert behavior analyst could be trained to perform the TBFA and if the results obtained from the TBFA could be used to create a program to reduce the problem behavior of a person with an intellectual disability living in a community-based group home for persons with disabilities. The results of this study show that a person who is not an expert behavior analyst can be trained to perform a TBFA and that the results obtained from the TBFA were useful in creating a program to reduce the problem behavior of an adult male person living in a rural area in Utah.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS OF TOURISTS: A FACT OR A MYTH?

description: The Algarve is a mature destination in the south of Portugal and is mainly wellknown for its offerings of sun and sea. Aside from its problem of strong seasonal changes, the region also faces strong competition from other nearby destinations that has impacted its need to better attract tourists. As regional stakeholders have recognized the necessity to diversify the tourist experience, a strong effort has been dedicated to the development of complementary tourist products, with special attention on eco-tourism. Within this context, the present study used data from a survey of tourists who visited the Algarve during December 2010 (low season). An analysis was done to determine the extent to which tourists visiting the region would actively search for nature-relative activities and the profile of these individuals. In particular, the study aimed to understand whether these tourists share environmentally friendly values or, instead, are typical tourists who have chosen the Algarve based on its traditional attributes of appealing climatic conditions and beaches. Depending on whether nature-based tourism in the Algarve is a fact or a myth, strategies for repositioning the destination must be adapted, new tourist products must be proposed and communication campaigns need to be rethought.

title: Application of WinSLAMM to Evaluate the Effect of Green Infrastructure Implementation in Northern Utah
Creators: name: Fernández Velásquez, Rosa A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: This study provides an evaluation of the performance of the WinSLAMM model in two cities of northern Utah, a region in which it has not been validated to date. Runoff volumes for a series of events from 2015 to 2017 were calculated for six study areas. These results were compared to model outputs to evaluate the prediction accuracy. The model performed poorly when default parameters where used, as expected. Thus, the calibration of runoff coefficient was done with local data. Total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorus (TP) and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) were also evaluated and calibrations were developed. The WinSLAMM model performed well for TSS prediction and TP and TDP estimations were calculated with the TP/TSS and TDP/TP ratios observed in the data for the Logan study areas.
Three scenarios of GI implementation were analyzed; the treatment of 10%, 50% and 100% of connected impervious surfaces. For the 10% case, treating streets produced the greatest TSS reduction, while treating roofs yielded the greatest volume reduction. For the 50% case, there was a great difference in TSS reduction with varying surfaces. Implementing GI for streets produced the largest TSS reduction, followed by parking lots and then by roofs.
Observational limits on the early-time dust mass in SN1987A

description: In recent years, dust masses of a few tenths of a solar mass have been found in the expanding ejecta of a number of core-collapse supernovae. How dust forms in such quantities remains poorly understood; theories of dust formation predict lower total masses and much faster formation rates than observations imply. One suggestion to reconcile observations and theory was made by Dwek et al. (2019), who proposed that the dust forms very rapidly, and because of its optical depth, is not initially observationally detectable, only being gradually revealed as the ejecta expand. Observational dust masses at early times would then only be lower limits. Using a large grid of radiative transfer models covering dust masses from 10$^{-4}$ to 1M$_\odot$ to calculate both the spectral energy distribution and the emission line profiles from clumpy dust shells, we show that this cannot be the case. Some clump distributions allow dust masses of $\sim$0.01 M$_\odot$ to be concealed in clumps and still predict an SED consistent with the observations. However, these geometries predict emission line profiles which are inconsistent with the observations. Similarly, clump geometries which reproduce the observed emission line profiles with dust masses >0.01 M$_\odot$ do not reproduce the SED. However, models with $\sim$10$^{-3}$ M$_\odot$ of amorphous carbon can reproduce both the SED and the emission line profiles. We conclude that no large masses of dust can be hidden from view in the ejecta of SN 1987A at early epochs, and that the majority of dust must thus have formed at epochs >1000 days.

description: We study the Andreev edge states with different pairing symmetries and boundary topologies on semi-infinite triangular lattice of Na_xCoO_2.yH_2O. A general mapping from the two dimensional lattice to the one dimensional tight-binding model is developed. It is shown that the phase diagram of the Andreev edge states depends on the pairing symmetry and also the boundary topology. Surprisingly, the structure of the phase diagram crucially relies on the nodal points on the Fermi surface and can be explained by an elegant gauge argument. We compute the momentum-resolved local density of states near the edge and predict the hot spots which are measurable in Fourier-transformed scanning tunneling spectroscopy.

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2017

description: Museums are increasingly using social media to include newer active experiences and entertainment. Not only does this digital shift provide a cost-effective, targeted and direct communication with the audience, but it also expands the museum experience beyond the borders of time and place. Although social media has triggered the attention of scholars, no previous study has classified the main ways in which social media affect museums. Drawing on a review of 54 papers this paper both categorizes and presents four major effects. The first effect relates to the opportunities of social media to museum experience and communication. The second effect is the social media enhancement to museums’ learning process. The third effect analyses patterns of social media use in museums. The fourth effect involves both the problems and the barriers attendant to social media integration in museums. This study contributes by presenting new theoretical insights, research topics and managerial implications.

Then, two-step time delay estimators that provide trade-offs between computational complexity and performance are investigated. In addition, asymptotic optimality properties of the two-step time delay estimators are discussed. Finally, simulation results are presented to explain the theoretical results.

description: Web 2.0 allows firms to implement innovative forms of communication and cocreation with customers. Despite the value of social media for tourism, few researchers have analyzed the content strategies of cruise lines on Facebook and Twitter. This study contributes by introducing a new approach to content strategy development, proposing a concept for firms to enhance their social media activity - STAR model – applied to three major cruise lines’ social media activity. Digital activity was proven to be quite different among company websites, Facebook and Twitter, and among the Norwegian, Princess and Disney Cruise lines. Companies tend to have its own base of fans and followers, but these have a common language, reflected in their hashtags. Results show that to have a content-oriented strategy that maximizes engagement in social media, a cruise line should share rich multimedia content that leverages storytelling values and that can be used on multiple platforms.

description: Every step we take in the digital world leaves behind a record of our behavior; a digital footprint. Research has suggested that algorithms can translate these digital footprints into accurate estimates of psychological characteristics, including personality traits, mental health or intelligence. The mechanisms by which AI generates these insights, however, often remain opaque. In this paper, we show how Explainable AI (XAI) can help domain experts and data subjects validate, question, and improve models that classify psychological traits from digital footprints. We elaborate on two popular XAI methods (rule extraction and counterfactual explanations) in the context of Big Five personality predictions (traits and facets) from financial transactions data (N = 6,408). First, we demonstrate how global rule extraction sheds light on the spending patterns identified by the model as most predictive for personality, and discuss how these rules can be used to explain, validate, and improve the model. Second, we implement local rule extraction to show that individuals are assigned to personality classes because of their unique financial behavior, and that there exists a positive link between the model's prediction confidence and the number of features that contributed to the prediction. Our experiments highlight the importance of both global and local XAI methods. By better understanding how predictive models work in general as well as how they derive an outcome for a particular person, XAI promotes accountability in a world in which AI impacts the lives of billions of people around the world.

description: Social Media (SM) are one of the latest and most typical examples of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which have been widely adopted in the tourism industry at all stages of a trip. The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of SM on travelers 2.0, as well as their views concerning relevant issues. A survey was conducted to analyze the behavior of travelers 2.0, using a sample of 250 individuals from October to November 2013. The research findings revealed that the reasons for which travelers 2.0 use SM depend on each stage of the trip. Travelers 2.0 are influenced by the different elements / services provided through SM, but to a different extent; as this influence increases, it is more likely that holiday plans will be altered accordingly. Despite the influence of SM on travelers 2.0, they still have not gained their confidence and trust.

description: Over the last decade, Computer Vision, the branch of Artificial Intelligence aimed at understanding the visual world, has evolved from simply recognizing objects in images to describing pictures, answering questions about images, aiding robots maneuver around physical spaces and even generating novel visual content. As these tasks and applications have modernized, so too has the reliance on more data, either for model training or for evaluation. In this chapter, we demonstrate that novel interaction strategies can enable new forms of data collection and evaluation for Computer Vision. First, we present a crowdsourcing interface for speeding up paid data collection by an order of magnitude, feeding the data-hungry nature of modern vision models. Second, we explore a method to increase volunteer contributions using automated social interventions. Third, we develop a system to ensure human evaluation of generative vision models are reliable, affordable and grounded in psychophysics theory. We conclude with future opportunities for Human-Computer Interaction to aid Computer Vision.

description: The objective of this study is two-fold: first, to review the academic literature pertaining to social media strategies, in case of museums, and second, to provide and empirical analysis of the role of social media within marketing and communication strategies. We use first the suggested by the literature metrics, to evaluate the museums’ efforts and to measure the stakeholder engagement, and second a content analysis is conducted, in order to explore how museums use their Profile on Facebook to support their marketing and communication strategies. In order to achieve the above research aims, we use data from Facebook pages of the four main museums of Thessaloniki, Greece over a whole year 2014 period. According to our results, museums’ main efforts focus on promotion, communication and word of mouth, while they don’t support enough yet innovation (through motivation of fans to suggest new products and services, or co-creation) and reputation (by motivating dialogue with fans and monitoring comments).

title: Measuring Rural Revolutionary Mobilization: The Militiamen, Soldiers, and Minutemen of Fauquier County, Virginia 1775 - 1782

description: The story of the rural soldiers and militiamen of Virginia that served in the American Revolution remains open to historical research and exploration. Recent scholarship of Virginia’s military contribution to the Revolution focuses heavily on relationships of power among social groups that operated within the colony’s hierarchy, concluding that a lack of white, lower-class political and economic representation disabled mobilization among the Old Dominion’s more settled regions. My study emphasizes the revolutionary backcountry’s story by using Fauquier County, Virginia as a case study.
A study of Rural Virginia during the Revolution presents scholars with significant challenges. Literacy rates among the general population were meager, meaning that Virginians in the backcountry left few letters and diaries for historians to interpret. Further complicating the reconstruction of Virginia’s rural revolutionary past were the destructive events of the nineteenth century. The tumults of the Civil War destroyed many Revolutionary War records of several Virginia counties, erasing much of what the Old Dominion’s revolutionary generation documented. For these reasons, Fauquier County represents an ideal subject of study. Court minutes, tax records, property records, and even a few letters and diary entries survived history’s fires to provide enough data from which to synthesize a social history to explore rural Virginia’s revolutionary story and mobilization patterns.
The revolutionaries in Fauquier County were not always in concert with those throughout the rest of the colony. In contrast to most of Virginia, the county rallied enthusiastically to pre-Declaration calls for companies of minutemen. Hundreds of rural farmers from Fauquier across the socioeconomic spectrum served in the most successful of Virginia’s fleeting minute battalions known as the Culpeper Minutemen. These men defined themselves as backcountry Virginians against their more cosmopolitan peers from the longer-established eastern settlements. As the war matured and exacted its toll, however, fault lines between the local gentry and local yeomen widened, and the county settled into a recruiting pattern like most other Revolutionary Virginian counties. Understanding the issue of representation and its effect on how communities respond to a crisis remains a highly relevant topic that continues to challenge the public and its elected representatives to this day.
The structure and growth of epidermanl lesions of Parophrys vetulus : a light and electron microscopic study
Creators: name: Majack, Richard Allen

description: Natural history, light microscopic, and electron microscopic studies were made of epidermal lesions afflicting juvenile lemon sole (Parophrys vetulus) in the Strait of Georgia, near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Emphasis was placed on the presentation of natural history and histological evidence for the progressive growth of these lesions from an initial morphological form (the angioepithelial nodule) to a mature and morphologically different form (the epidermal papilloma-like lesion). The study of the histological and cytological aspects of the growth of the lesions necessarily incorporated clarification of the nature of unidentified epidermal and stromal cell types which compose much of the mass of the tumour. It was noted that the histological appearance of the flatfish lesions differs significantly from that of any known fish epidermal disease, including those characterized by cellular hypertrophy and cellular hyperplasia or neoplasia. Natural history studies showed that angioepithelial nodules occurred predominantly on younger fish while epidermal papilloma-like lesions were usually found on larger fish, indicating a progression from the former to the latter. This assumption was supported by the presence of morphological and histological intermediates. The growth of the lesions was characterized by the gradual transformation of normal epidermal cells into "X-cells": ovoid, hypertrophied cells with enlarged nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and necrotic cytoplasm. These "X-cell" types completely dominate the mature lesion and are enclosed, or supported, by abnormal epidermal cells termed "enveloping cells". It was found that the pattern of subcellular necrosis in flatfish tumour cells differs from necrosis caused by non-specific lethal injuries to cells. This observation suggests that the subcellular changes observed may be a result of cellular transformation rather than a non-specific lethal injury to the cells. Other natural history studies indicated a decline in the number of tumours per tumourous fish and a decline in the prevalence of lesions as fish size increases. These results indicate that either the diseased fish are selectively removed from the population or that the tumours necrose and are lost by the host. Both possibilities were discussed. No evidence was found to support the hypothesis that "X-cells" are parasitic protozoans. The presence of virus-like particles in the cytoplasm of the enveloping cells of mature lesions was commonly observed. The relationship between these virus-like particles and the disease process, if any, is unknown.

description: Fluids confined in nanopores are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In recent years, the interest in confined fluids has grown, driven by research on unconventional hydrocarbon resources -- shale gas and shale oil, much of which are confined in nanopores. When fluids are confined in nanopores, many of their properties differ from those of the same fluid in the bulk. These properties include density, freezing point, transport coefficients, thermal expansion coefficient, and elastic properties. The elastic moduli of a fluid confined in the pores contribute to the overall elasticity of the fluid-saturated porous medium and determine the speed at which elastic waves traverse through the medium. Wave propagation in fluid-saturated porous media is pivotal for geophysics, as elastic waves are used for characterization of formations and rock samples. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of experimental works on wave propagation in fluid-saturated nanoporous media, as well as theoretical works focused on calculation of compressibility of fluids in confinement. We discuss models that bridge the gap between experiments and theory, revealing a number of open questions that are both fundamental and applied in nature. While some results were demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically (e.g. the pressure dependence of compressibility of fluids), others were theoretically predicted, but not verified in experiments (e.g. linear scaling of modulus with the pore size). Therefore, there is a demand for the combined experimental-modeling studies on porous samples with various characteristic pore sizes. The extension of molecular simulation studies from simple model fluids to the more complex molecular fluids is another open area of practical interest.

A failure to find schedule-induced grit and water consumption in the pigeon
Creators: name: Whalen, Thomas Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In the first experiment two hungry, but otherwise undeprived, pigeons were exposed to various fixed interval food reinforcement schedules for keypecking while either water or grit was concurrently, freely available. The inter-reinforcement interval was varied from 30 sec to 16 min in different phases of the experiment. Both subjects consumed grit, but neither subject drank water. The next four experiments attempted to replicate the grit consumption that occurred in the first experiment or to produce water consumption. In these experiments the grit and water containers were moved to various locations within the experimental chamber, the protein content of the subject's diet was varied, and the reflective windows in the chamber were covered to eliminate the possibility that attacks at their own reflections were competing with the subject's tendency to consume grit or water. The subjects did not consume grit or water in any of these experiments. The implications of this lack of consistent water and grit consumption behaviour in the pigeon for various theories of the determinants of behaviour are examined.
