description: As food contributes to 40% of the solid waste generated by resorts, food waste is a primary cocnern for the hospitality industry, which seeks to decrease costs in a low-margin business. Thus, industry and non-governmental organizations have begun to address the issue. While consumer demand and willingness to pay premiums for sustainable practices and green-certified destinations continues to grow, the hospitality industry struggles to provide the experience environmentally conscious consumers seek. Resorts and tourism destinations are known for overuse and abuse of resources, resulting in long-term negative social and environmental impacts to local communities. The current study sets forth a plan to assess consumer awareness of green certification programs, the importance of food waste reduction in such certification programs, and their willingness to pay premiums at certified resorts. Results will provide pertinent information about the potential benefits of third-party green certification programs to the hospitality industry.

description: We present a model independent closed form expression for |V_{ub}|^2/|V_{tb} V_{ts}^*|^2, which includes the resummation of large endpoint logarithms as well as the interference effects from the operators $O_2$ and $O_8$. We demonstrate that the method to extract |V_{ub}| presented by the authors in hep-ph/9909404, and modified in this letter to include interference effects, is not just a refinement of the method introduced in hep-ph/9312311. We also discuss the model dependence of the latter proposal. Furthermore, we show that the resummation is not negligible and that the Landau pole does not introduce any significant uncertainties.

description: In this study, the genes related to the Downy growth of Liaoning cashmere goats were screened for their expression with simultaneous melatonin administration, so as to investigate the effects of target genes on the proliferation of skin fibroblasts in this animal species. Genes related to the villus growth of skin fibroblasts were screened by in vitro transcriptome sequencing and verified by qPCR. In addition, gene overexpression and interference were used to study the effects of target genes on the proliferation of skin fibroblasts. Groups treated with M1_24H, M2_24H and M2_72H exhibited significant differences compared with the control group. Among them, the differentially expressed transcripts in the M2_72H group were significantly enriched in the TNF and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways, which are associated with the villus. In addition, eight differentially expressed genes were screened from the TNF and the NOD-like receptor signaling pathways. Verification by qPCR showed that the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, TNFAIP3, PYCARD and NFKBIA genes were significantly upregulated, which was consistent with the sequencing results. Melatonin treatments can significantly lead to an increase in the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α genes. Besides, melatonin treatments can affect cashmere growth in Liaoning cashmere goats by regulating several signaling pathways, including TNF, NOD-like receptor and NF-κB.

description: The majority of forest land in the U.S. is owned by individuals and institutions that are not directly involved in the forest products industry. Much of this land is thought to be managed inefficiently, but the reasons for this are unclear. This article focusses on three possible factors: information and transactions costs; nonfinancial forest values; and liquidity constraints. Models for the reforestation and harvesting decisions are presented that incorporate these factors. These models use the Faustmann model to define the financial value of forest land, and borrow from previously developed models of nonindustrial private forest management to incorporate the other factors into the forest management decision. A wealth of data exists on nonindustrial private forest management, and discussion focusses in particular on models that are suitable for the study of existing data.
Weak Scale Supersymmetry Without Weak Scale Supergravity

description: It is generally believed that weak scale supersymmetry implies weak scale supergravity, in the sense that the masses of the gravitino and gravitationally coupled moduli have masses below 100 TeV. This paper presents a realistic framework for supersymmetry breaking in the hidden sector in which the masses of the gravitino and gravitational moduli can be much larger. This cleanly eliminates the cosmological problems of hidden sector models. Supersymmetry breaking is communicated to the visible sector by anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking. The framework is compatible with perturbative gauge coupling unification, and can be realized either in models of "warped" extra dimensions, or in strongly-coupled four-dimensional conformal field theories.

description: An efficient and facile process has been developed for the regioselective C5 nitration of the N-protected indolines using ferric nitrate as the nitrating reagents. The reaction proceeded smoothly in moderate to excellent yields with high efficiency and broad substrate scope under mild conditions. In addition, the synthesized nitration products can be further transformed to 5-nitroindolines and C5-nitroindole derivatives. The method is operationally simple, efficient, and might have potential application in industry production.

description: Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: The hyperinsulinaemic–hypoglycaemic glucose clamp technique has been developed and applied to assess effects of and responses to hypoglycaemia under standardised conditions. However, the degree to which the methodology of clamp studies is standardised is unclear. This systematic review examines how hyperinsulinaemic–hypoglycaemic clamps have been performed and elucidates potential important differences. Methods: A literature search in PubMed and EMBASE was conducted. Articles in English published between 1980 and 2018, involving adults with or without diabetes, were included. Results: A total of 383 articles were included. There was considerable variation in essential methodology of the hypoglycaemic clamp procedures, including the insulin dose used (49-fold difference between the lowest and the highest rate), the number of hypoglycaemic steps (range 1−6), the hypoglycaemic nadirs (range 2.0–4.3 mmol/l) and the duration (ranging from 5 to 660 min). Twenty-seven per cent of the articles reported whole blood glucose levels, most venous levels. In 70.8% of the studies, a dorsal hand vein was used for blood sampling, with some form of hand warming to arterialise venous blood in 78.8% of these. Key information was missing in 61.9% of the articles. Conclusions/interpretation: Although the hyperinsulinaemic–hypoglycaemic clamp procedure is considered the gold standard to study experimental hypoglycaemia, a uniform standard with key elements on how to perform these experiments is lacking. Methodological differences should be considered when comparing results between hypoglycaemic clamp studies. PROSPERO registration: This systematic review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019120083).

description: A fundamental property determining the transient behaviour of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is the amount of radioactive $^{56}$Ni synthesised in the explosion. Using established methods, this is a relatively easy parameter to extract from observations. Here I provide a meta analysis of all published $^{56}$Ni masses for CCSNe. Collating a total of 258 literature $^{56}$Ni masses I compare distributions of the main CCSN types: SNeII; SNeIIb; SNeIb; SNeIc; and SNeIcBL. Using these published values, I calculate a median $^{56}$Ni mass of 0.032${\rm\ M}_\odot$ for SNeII (N=115), 0.102${\rm\ M}_\odot$ (N=27) for SNeIIb, SNeIb = 0.163${\rm\ M}_\odot$ (N=33), SNeIc = 0.155${\rm\ M}_\odot$ (N=48), and SNeIcBL = 0.369${\rm\ M}_\odot$ (N=32). On average, stripped-enevelope SNe (SE-SNe: IIb; Ib; Ic; and Ic-BL) have much higher values than SNeII. These observed distributions are compared to those predicted from neutrino-driven explosion models. While the SNII distribution follows model predictions, the SE-SNe have a significant fraction of events with $^{56}$Ni masses much higher than predicted. If the majority of published $^{56}$Ni masses are to be believed, these results imply significant differences in the progenitor structures and/or explosion properties between SNeII and SE-SNe. However, such distinct progenitor and explosion properties are not currently favoured in the literature. Alternatively, the popular methods used to estimate $^{56}$Ni masses for SE-SNe may not be accurate. Possible issues with these methods are discussed, as are the implications of true $^{56}$Ni mass differences on progenitor properties of different CCSNe.

description: Σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία, επιδιώκεται η πρόβλεψη των τιμών κλεισίματος κρυπτονομισμάτων μέσω της εφαρμογής ενός προσαρμοστικού νευρό-ασαφούς συστήματος (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy System – ANFIS) και μέσω των ασαφών συνόλων (fuzzy type-2). Τα κρυπτό νομίσματα ενώ δεν αντιπροσωπεύουν νομίσματα ούτε επενδυτικά αγαθά με την παραδοσιακή έννοια,  έχουν όμως προσελκύσει το ενδιαφέρον πολλών επενδυτών με αποτέλεσμα να διακινούνται τεράστια ποσά στην παγκόσμια οικονομία μέσω των κρυπτό-νομισμάτων. Οι διακυμάνσεις των τιμών τους, δίνει την δυνατότητα σε πολλούς επαγγελματίες συναλλαγών  κρυπτό-νομισμάτων να αποκομίζουν σημαντικά κέρδη και φυσικά οι μη έχοντες εμπειρία να υπόκειται σε σημαντικές ζημιές.

description: In this thesis, the prediction of cryptocurrency closing prices is pursued through the application of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and the implementation of fuzzy sets (fuzzy type-2). Cryptocurrencies, while they do not represent traditional currencies (fiat currencies) or investment assets in a conventional way, have nonetheless attracted the interest of many investors, resulting in the circulation of vast amounts of capital in the global economy due to cryptocurrencies. Their price fluctuations provide an opportunity for many professional cryptocurrency traders to earn significant profits, while inexperienced traders are subject to substantial losses. The ANFIS system and the fuzzy type-2 method were selected from a variety of forecasting methods due to the advantages offered by the combination of fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks, which form the basis of the ANFIS algorithm. In the fuzzy type-2 system, model optimization will be performed using the particle swarm algorithm (PSO). The results will be compared with traditional forecasting methods, such as auto regression (AR) and auto regression moving average (ARMA), for further evaluation of the outcomes.

description: We introduce phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) into metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide systems to realize chipscale plasmonic modulators and switches in the telecommunication band. Benefitting from the high contrast of optical properties between amorphous and crystalline GST, the three proposed structures can act as reconfigurable and non-volatile modulators and switches with excellent modulation depth 14 dB and fast response time in nanosecond, meanwhile possessing small footprints, simple frameworks and easy fabrication. This work provides new solutions to design active devices in MIM waveguide systems, and can find potential applications in more compact all-optical circuits for information processing and storage.

description: Abstract: Diphtheria is a respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Although the development of a toxin-based vaccine in the 1930s has allowed a high level of control over the disease, cases have increased in recent years. Here, we describe the genomic variation of 502 C. diphtheriae isolates across 16 countries and territories over 122 years. We generate a core gene phylogeny and determine the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes and variation within the tox gene of 291 tox+ isolates. Numerous, highly diverse clusters of C. diphtheriae are observed across the phylogeny, each containing isolates from multiple countries, regions and time of isolation. The number of antimicrobial resistance genes, as well as the breadth of antibiotic resistance, is substantially greater in the last decade than ever before. We identified and analysed 18 tox gene variants, with mutations estimated to be of medium to high structural impact.
Modulational stability of nonlinear saturated gravity waves

description: Stationary gravity waves, such as mountain lee waves, are effectively described by Grimshaw's dissipative modulation equations even in high altitudes where they become nonlinear due to their large amplitudes. In this theoretical study, a wave-Reynolds number is introduced to characterize general solutions to these modulation equations. This non-dimensional number relates the vertical linear group velocity with wavenumber, pressure scale height and kinematic molecular/eddy viscosity. It is demonstrated by analytic and numerical methods that Lindzen-type waves in the saturation region, i.e. where the wave-Reynolds number is of order unity, destabilize by transient perturbations. It is proposed that this mechanism may be a generator for secondary waves due to direct wave-mean-flow interaction. By assumption the primary waves are exactly such that altitudinal amplitude growth and viscous damping are balanced and by that the amplitude is maximized. Implications of these results on the relation between mean-flow acceleration and wave breaking heights are discussed.

description: The rapid increase of fish prices has recently casused public concern. Consumers as well as fishermen have often attributed rises in fish retail prices to increases in marketing costs. To find the cause of the difference between the price the fisherman receives for his product and the ultimate price paid by the consumer, the distribution of the consumer's dollar paid to the retailer as well as to the wholesaler, processor, and fisherman is analyzed. Selected for this study are four groundfish fillets (haddock, flounder, cod, and ocean perch), salmon and halibut in steak and dressed form, canned tuna, canned salmon, and five shellfish products: shrimp, blue crabs, norhtern lobsters, sea scallops, and oysters. Their production accounts for 36% of total sea fish harvested in this country in 1969 on a round weight basis. The difference or margin between selling and purchasing prices of each level and the fisherman's share of the consumer's dollar are presented for each fish product over the period from 1950 to 1969. In addition, the report analyzes the costs and proftis incurred by each marketing function and describes the major influences on margin differences.

description: One of the first massive stars detected in X-rays, Schulte 12 has remained a puzzle in several aspects. In particular, its extreme brightness both in the visible and X-ray ranges is intriguing. Thanks to Swift and XMM-Newton observations covering ~5000d, we report the discovery of a regular 108d modulation in X-ray flux of unknown origin. The minimum in the high-energy flux appears due to a combination of increased absorption and decreased intrinsic emission. We examined in parallel the data from a dedicated spectroscopic and photometric monitoring in the visible and near-IR domains, complemented by archives. While a similar variation timescale is found in those data, they do not exhibit the strict regular clock found at high energies. Changes in line profiles cannot be related to binarity but rather correspond to non-radial pulsations. Considering the substantial revision of the distance of Schulte 12 from the second GAIA data release, the presence of such oscillations agrees well with the evolutionary status of Schulte 12, as it lies in an instability region of the HR diagram.

description: In this paper we study the large N_c limit of SO(N_c) gauge theory coupled to a Majorana field and a real scalar field in 1+1 dimensions extending ideas of Rajeev. We show that the phase space of the resulting classical theory of bilinears, which are the mesonic operators of this theory, is OSp_1(H|H )/U(H_+|H_+), where H|H refers to the underlying complex graded space of combined one-particle states of fermions and bosons and H_+|H_+ corresponds to the positive frequency subspace. In the begining to simplify our presentation we discuss in detail the case with Majorana fermions only (the purely bosonic case is treated in our earlier work). In the Majorana fermion case the phase space is given by O_1(H)/U(H_+), where H refers to the complex one-particle states and H_+ to its positive frequency subspace. The meson spectrum in the linear approximation again obeys a variant of the 't Hooft equation. The linear approximation to the boson/fermion coupled case brings an additonal bound state equation for mesons, which consists of one fermion and one boson, again of the same form as the well-known 't Hooft equation.

description: Abstract: Core-shell nanorod based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with their exposed non-polar surfaces have the potential to overcome the limitations of planar LEDs by circumventing the quantum confined stark effect. In this experiment, InGaN/GaN core-shell nanorods were fabricated by a combination of top-down etching and bottom-up regrowth using metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy. When viewing the nanorods along their long axis, monochromatic cathodoluminescence maps taken at the GaN near-band-edge emission energy (3.39 eV) reveal a ring-like region of lower emission intensity. The diameter of this ring is found to be 530 (±20)nm corresponding to the ∼510 nm diameter nickel etch masks used to produce the initial GaN nanopillars. Thus, the dark ring corresponds to the regrowth interface. To understand the origin of the ring, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and cathodoluminescence (CL) hyperspectral mapping at 10K were performed. STEM imaging reveals the absence of extended defects in the nanorods and indeed near the regrowth interface. Monochromatic CL maps recorded at 10K show that the ring remains dark for monochromatic maps taken at the GaN near-band-edge emission energy (3.47 eV) but is bright when considering the donor-acceptor pair emission energy (3.27 eV). This peculiar anticorrelation indicates that the dark ring originates from an agglomeration of point defects associated with donor-acceptor pair emission. The point defects are incorporated and buried at the GaN regrowth interface from the chemical and/or physical damage induced by etching and lower the radiative recombination rate; limiting the radiative efficiency close to the regrowth interface.

description: We present a new method for measuring the CP phase α. It requires the measurement of the pure penguin decays Bd(t) -> K(*) Kbar(*) and B_s -> K(*) Kbar(*). The method is quite clean: we estimate the theoretical uncertainty to be at most 5%. By applying the method to several K(*) Kbar(*) final states, αcan be extracted with a fourfold ambiguity. An additional assumption reduces this ambiguity to twofold: {α, α+ π}. Since no \pi0 detection is needed, this method can be used at hadron colliders.
description: 8 pages, LaTeX, no figures. The first version of the paper had an error in it: we had assumed that corrections to the LEET limit go like 1/EK, and are thus small. In fact, they go like 1/log(EK), and can be sizeable. The present version of the paper corrects this error, with the result that the conclusions are somewhat weaker. The proposed method for obtaining alpha, however, is still valid

JAK-STAT signaling maintains homeostasis in T cells and macrophages

description: Immune cells need to sustain a state of constant alertness over a lifetime. Yet, little is known about the regulatory processes that control the fluent and fragile balance that is called homeostasis. Here we demonstrate that JAK-STAT signaling, beyond its role in immune responses, is a major regulator of immune cell homeostasis. We investigated JAK-STAT-mediated transcription and chromatin accessibility across 12 mouse models, including knockouts of all STAT transcription factors and of the TYK2 kinase. Baseline JAK-STAT signaling was detected in CD8+ T cells and macrophages of unperturbed mice – but abrogated in the knockouts and in unstimulated immune cells deprived of their normal tissue context. We observed diverse transcription-regulatory programs, including gene regulation by STAT2 and IRF9 independent of STAT1. In summary, our large-scale dataset and integrative analysis of JAK-STAT mutant and wildtype mice uncovered a crucial role of JAK-STAT signaling in unstimulated immune cells, where it contributes to a poised epigenetic and transcription-regulatory state and helps prepare these cells for rapid response to immune stimuli.

description: The overall conclusion that can be drawn from the existing body of research is that the FISP has helped increase smallholder fertilizer use. It has also had a positive but modest direct impact on maize yields and overall smallholder maize production in Malawi. There is conflicting evidence as to whether rural poverty rates have risen or declined in recent years, and it is unclear how FISP has directly impacted household poverty.

description: Superconducting resonators interfaced with paramagnetic spin ensembles are used to increase the sensitivity of electron spin resonance experiments and are key elements of microwave quantum memories. Certain spin systems that are promising for such quantum memories possess 'sweet spots' at particular combinations of magnetic fields and frequencies, where spin coherence times or linewidths become particularly favorable. In order to be able to couple high-Q superconducting resonators to such specific spin transitions, it is necessary to be able to tune the resonator frequency under a constant magnetic field amplitude. Here, we demonstrate a high quality, magnetic field resilient superconducting resonator, using a 3D vector magnet to continuously tune its resonance frequency by adjusting the orientation of the magnetic field. The resonator maintains a quality factor of $> 10^5$ up to magnetic fields of 2.6 T, applied predominantly in the plane of the superconductor. We achieve a continuous tuning of up to 30 MHz by rotating the magnetic field vector, introducing a component of 5 mT perpendicular to the superconductor.

description: The muon transverse polarization in the $K^+ \to μ^+ νγ$ process induced by the electromagnetic final state interaction is calculated in the framework of Standard Model. It is shown that one loop contributions lead to a nonvanihing muon transverse polarization. The value of the muon transverse polarization averaged over the kinematical region of $E_γ\geq 20$ MeV is equal to $5.63 \times 10^{-4}$.

description: Raising agricultural productivity remains a major challenge in developing countries. Farm productivity is especially low in Sub-Saharan Africa, where fertilizer use lags far behind the rest of the world. Identifying effective strategies for raising fertilizer use in Africa has been a longstanding policy priority. While most of the region has struggled to raise fertilizer use in a sustainable manner, several countries have recorded impressive steady growth in fertilizer use, suggesting that there may be important success stories from which to learn.

description: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a known complication of fractures. This study aimed to explore the genetic causal relationship between DVT and fracture sites. The exposures analyzed in this study included fracture of femur (FFE), fracture of lower leg, including ankle (FLLA), fracture of shoulder and upper arm (FSUA), fracture of forearm (FFO), fracture of rib, sternum and thoracic spine (FRSTS) and fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis (FLSP). DVT as the outcome. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was employed to investigate the genetic causal relationship, and a series of sensitivity analyses were conducted. The findings indicated no genetic causal relationship between FFE (p = 0.569, OR 95% CI = 1.001 [0.998–1.003]), FLLA (p = 0.371, OR 95% CI = 0.999 [0.995–1.002]), FSUA (p = 0.871, OR 95% CI = 1.000 [0.998–1.002]), FFO (p = 0.281, OR 95% CI = 1.001 [0.999–1.002]), FRSTS (p = 0.346, OR 95% CI = 0.999 [0.996–1.001]) or FLSP (p = 0.759, OR 95% CI = 1.000 [0.999–1.002]) and DVT. Sensitivity analyses reinforced the robustness. This study indicate that no genetic causal relationship exists between DVT and fracture site, the observed association may be attributable to non-genetic factors.

description: Abstract: This paper repudiates Manuel Vargas’s attempt to supplant the traditional moral influence theory of responsibility (MIT) with his ‘agency cultivation model’ (ACM). By focusing on fostering responsiveness to moral considerations, ACM purports to avoid the chief pitfalls of MIT. However, I contend that ACM is far less distinctive than it initially appears and so possesses all of MIT’s defects. I also assail Vargas’s counterfactual test for assessing whether a wrongdoer can respond to moral considerations. It is argued that the counterfactual test is epistemically redundant because it can only be fleshed out once we have settled the issues it is supposed to resolve. Moreover, it tacitly inverts the relation between freedom and responsibility—we cannot attribute free will to wrongdoers unless we have already established their blameworthiness. The upshot of this is that enquiries into an agent’s freedom are irrelevant to the ethics of holding her responsible.

description: Recommender system is a critically important tool in online commercial system and provide users with personalized recommendation on items. So far, numerous recommendation algorithms have been made to further improve the recommendation performance in a single-step recommendation, while the long-term recommendation performance is neglected. In this paper, we proposed an approach called Adjustment of Recommendation List (ARL) to enhance the long-term recommendation accuracy. In order to observe the long-term accuracy, we developed an evolution model of network to simulate the interaction between the recommender system and user's behaviour. The result shows that not only long-term recommendation accuracy can be enhanced significantly but the diversity of item in online system maintains healthy. Notably, an optimal parameter n* of ARL existed in long-term recommendation, indicating that there is a trade-off between keeping diversity of item and user's preference to maximize the long-term recommendation accuracy. Finally, we confirmed that the optimal parameter n* is stable during evolving network, which reveals the robustness of ARL method.

description: In this paper we study the large $N_c$ limit of SO(N_c) gauge theory coupled to a real scalar field following ideas of Rajeev. We see that the phase space of this resulting classical theory is Sp_1(H)/U(H_+) which is the analog of the Siegel disc in infinite dimensions. The linearized equations of motion give us a version of the well-known 't Hooft equation of two dimensional QCD.
