description: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of collaboration in the performance of supply chain management of organic coffee, based on the opinion of the managers. One hundred and seven managers with experience in subjects related to supply chain management (SCM) in organic coffee were involved in the study. Data were collected and processed by means of structural equation modeling. A valid relation between the following constructs was found: [SCM and Collaboration] and [SCM and Performance]. However, was also found that the collaboration did not affect the operational performance. Based on these results, we may conclude that, although the collaboration is valid for improving the performance of the SCM in organic coffee, its importance was not found by the managers. Therefore, this work sought to contribute to the broadening of knowledge about the SCM in organic coffee. We also sought to find support in the corporate environment to easy the understanding of possible impacts of collaboration in the operating performance of SCM of organic coffee.

Global Standards in National Contexts: The Role of Transnational Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives in Public Sector Governance Reform
Creators: name: Brockmyer, Brandon Isaac
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Multi-stakeholder initiatives (i.e., partnerships between governments, civil society, and the private sector) are an increasingly prevalent strategy promoted by multilateral, bilateral, and nongovernmental development organizations for addressing weaknesses in public sector governance. Global public sector governance MSIs seek to make national governments more transparent and accountable by setting shared standards for information disclosure and multi-stakeholder collaboration. However, research on similar interventions implemented at the national or subnational level suggests that the effectiveness of these initiatives is likely to be mediated by a variety of socio-political factors. This dissertation examines the transnational evidence base for three global public sector governance MSIs—the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative, and the Open Government Partnership—and investigates their implementation within and across three shared national contexts—Guatemala, the Philippines, and Tanzania—in order to determine whether and how these initiatives lead to improvements in proactive transparency (i.e., discretionary release of government data), demand-driven transparency (i.e., reforms that increase access to government information upon request), and accountability (i.e., the extent to which government officials are compelled to publicly explain their actions and/or face penalties or sanction for them), as well as the extent to which they provide participating governments with an opportunity to project a public image of transparency and accountability, while maintaining questionable practices in these areas (i.e., openwashing). The evidence suggests that global public sector governance MSIs often facilitate gains in proactive transparency by national governments, but that improvements in demand-driven transparency and accountability remain relatively rare. Qualitative comparative analysis reveals that a combination of multi-stakeholder power sharing and civil society capacity is sufficient to drive improvements in proactive transparency, while the absence of visible, high-level political support is sufficient to impede such reforms. The lack of demand-driven transparency or accountability gains suggests that national-level coalitions forged by global MSIs are often too narrow to successfully advocate for broader improvements to public sector governance. Moreover, evidence for openwashing was found in one-third of cases, suggesting that national governments sometimes use global MSIs to deliberately mislead international observers and domestic stakeholders about their commitment to reform.

description: Successive Zambian governments have committed to coordinated, all-inclusive developing planning to assure food and nutrition security and reduce poverty. Despite these efforts, questions remain around policy coherence and consistency in the agricultural sector and this—it is argued—is likely to crowd out private sector investment and engagement in the sector. This paper addresses several questions around the policy processes space in Zambia. What drives policy change? How does it happen? What accounts for the policy reversals or failure to fully adopt agreed upon policy changes?

description: Pressure effects on the electron transport and structure of Nd1-xSrxMnO3 (x = 0.45, 0.5) were investigated in the range from ambient to ~6 GPa. In Nd0.55Sr0.45MnO3, the low-temperature ferromagnetic metallic state is suppressed and a low temperature insulating state is induced by pressure. In Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3, the CE-type antiferromagnetic charge-ordering state is suppressed by pressure. Under pressure, both samples have a similar electron transport behavior although their ambient ground states are much different. It is surmised that pressure induces an A-type antiferromagnetic state at low temperature in both compounds.

description: We show that irradiation induced stellar winds can explain two important metallicity effects in X-ray binaries - the higher numbers and the softer spectra of the X-ray binaries in metal rich globular clusters compared to the metal poor ones. As has been previously noted by Iben, Tutukov and Fedorova, the winds should be stronger at lower metallicity due to less efficient line cooling. This will speed up the evolution of the LMXBs in metal poor clusters, hence reducing their numbers. These winds can also provide extra material near the accreting object which may create an intrinsic absorber to harden the X-ray spectra of the metal poor cluster systems relative to the metal rich ones, as suggested by observations. We outline some additional observational predictions of the model.

description: The information regarding the structure of a single protein is encoded in the network of interacting amino acids. Considering each protein as a weighted and unweighted network of amino acids we have analyzed a total of forty nine protein structures that covers the three branches of life on earth. Our results show that the probability degree distribution of network connectivity follows Poisson's distribution; whereas the probability strength distribution does not follow any known distribution. However, the average strength of amino acid node depends on its degree (k). For some of the proteins, the strength of a node increases linearly with k. On the other hand, for a set of other proteins, although the strength increases linaerly with k for smaller values of k, we have not obtained any clear functional relationship of strength with degree at higher values of k. The results also show that the weight of the amino acid nodes belonging to the highly connected nodes tend to have a higher value. The result that the average clustering coefficient of weighted network is less than that of unweighted network implies that the topological clustering is generated by edges with low weights. The ratio of average clustering coefficients of protein network to that of the corresponding classical random network varies linearly with the number (N) of amino acids of a protein; whereas the ratio of characteristic path lengths varies logarithmically with N. The power law behaviour of clustering coefficients of weighted and unweighted network as a function of degree k indicates that the network has a signature of hierarchical network. It has also been observed that the network is of assortative type.

description: It is well known that the clustering of galaxies depends on galaxy type.Such relative bias complicates the inference of cosmological parameters from galaxy redshift surveys, and is a challenge to theories of galaxy formation and evolution. In this paper we perform a joint counts-in-cells analysis on galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, classified by both colour and spectral type, eta, as early or late type galaxies. We fit three different models of relative bias to the joint probability distribution of the cell counts, assuming Poisson sampling of the galaxy density field. We investigate the nonlinearity and stochasticity of the relative bias, with cubical cells of side 10Mpc \leq L \leq 45Mpc (h=0.7). Exact linear bias is ruled out with high significance on all scales. Power law bias gives a better fit, but likelihood ratios prefer a bivariate lognormal distribution, with a non-zero `stochasticity' - i.e. scatter that may result from physical effects on galaxy formation other than those from the local density field. Using this model, we measure a correlation coefficient in log-density space (r_LN) of 0.958 for cells of length L=10Mpc, increasing to 0.970 by L=45Mpc. This corresponds to a stochasticity sigma_b/bhat of 0.44\pm0.02 and 0.27\pm0.05 respectively. For smaller cells, the Poisson sampled lognormal distribution presents an increasingly poor fit to the data, especially with regard to the fraction of completely empty cells. We compare these trends with the predictions of semianalytic galaxy formation models: these match the data well in terms of overall level of stochasticity, variation with scale, and fraction of empty cells.

Клеевой метод крепления низа остается самым распространенным в производстве обуви (80 %), так как позволяет использовать в ее производстве традиционное оборудование и не требует больших вложений при изменении вида подошвы. Таким образом, формирование у обучающихся навыков проектирования моделей обуви со свободной затяжной кромкой является актуальным и востребованным в практической деятельности модельеров-конструкторов изделий из кожи. Для обозначения различий в подходах к проектированию в пособии рассмотрены примеры проектирования моделей открытых туфель строчечно-клеевого метода крепления и полуботинок клеепрошивного метода крепления низа. Предназначено для использования в учебном процессе.

description: A s evidence grows about the role of diet in long-term health, consumers show increasing interest in improving the healthfulness of their diets. Consumers report that they are changing what they eat and the ways they prepare foods. According to a 1995 annual survey by the Food Marketing Institute, 63 percent of respondents reported they were eating more fruits and vegetables, 34 percent reported eating less fats and oils, and 43 percent reported eating less meat to ensure their diet was healthy. A recent study by USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) confirms that consumers are interested in nutrition and changing the types of foods they purchase. According to the study using data on food items that are scanned at the checkout registers, supermarket sales of nutritionally improved foods grew faster than sales of their regular counterparts in U.S. supermarkets between 1989 and 1993---despite their usually costing more than regular versions.

description: The herd behaviors of returns for the won-dollar exchange rate and the KOSPI are analyzed in Korean financial markets. It is shown that the probability distribution $P(R)$ of price returns $R$ for three values of the herding parameter tends to a power-law behavior $P(R) \simeq R^{-β}$ with the exponents $ β=2.2$(the won-dollar exchange rate) and 2.4(the KOSPI). The financial crashes are found to occur at $h >2.33$ when the relative increase in the probability distribution of exteremely high price returns is observed. Especially, the distribution of normalized returns shows a crossover to a Gaussian distribution for the time step $Δt=252$. Our results will be also compared to the other well-known analyses.

description: 0 rganic foods may constitute a small segment of the $334 billion in retail food sales in 1994, but they have carved a niche in a retail food sector growing by leaps and bounds-the natural food industry. As reported by the industry's leading trade publication, the Natural Food Merchandiser (NFM), organic product sales in natural foodstores grew by 21 percent in 1994. The market for organic products has escalated with sales increases of 20 percent or more each year from 1989 to 1994, according to NFM (USDA does not compile retail sales data for organic foods or natural foodstores). The dominant retail outlet for organic foods-natural foodstores- captured 67 percent of the $2.3 billion in total 1994 U.S. organic food sales. In some areas, competition from successful natural foodstores has spurred an increase in the volume of organic products stocked in conventional grocery chains

subject: Creative and professional writing

description: How I learned to Dance in Silence is a work of creative nonfiction framed in ten linked letters from a son to his father addressing issues of family, identity and displacement. Opening on a Saturday morning in the living room of the speaker's brother's apartment, but mostly prompted by his American niece's query about their family's dispersal across the globe, the speaker navigates the family's past from its cradle in Cameroon to her birth city of Chicago. In an attempt to provide answers to his curious niece while coming to terms with his own migration to the US, the speaker in these letters also reflects on the role that history, music, food, and silence has played in their family's trajectory. This work is also a meditation on the dynamics of a father-son relationship in a context where national identity is fluid and fraught. Above all, it is a portrait of a post-colonial African family in a seemingly borderless world.

description: The United States is the world's largest consumer and importer of spices. A growing population, a trend toward using spices to compensate for less salt and fat in food, and a heightened popularity of ethnic foods have pushed U.S. demand for spices to record levels. Rapid expansion of eating away from home in recent years has increased the commercial use of spices. By the early 1990's, about 60 percent of domestically produced spices were used by the food processing and foodservice sectors, compared with 40 percent a decade earlier. Another trend in food manufacturing is the greater use of spice oleoresins (a concentrated form of spice) because they are easier to disperse in products. The American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) defines a spice as "any dried plant produce used primarily for seasoning purposes." This definition includes tropical aromatics (such as pepper, cinnamon, and cloves); leafy herbs of the temperate zone (notably oregano, basil, and sage); spice seeds (sesame, mustard, and caraway); and dehydrated vegetables (such as onion, garlic, and chile peppers).

description: The introduction of a large density of columnar defects in %underdoped Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ crystals does not, at sufficiently low vortex densities, increase the irreversibility line beyond the first order transition (FOT) field of pristine crystals. At such low fields, the flux line wandering length $r_{w}$ behaves as in pristine %Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ crystals. Next, vortex positional correlations along the $c$--axis in the vortex Bose glass at fields above the FOT are smaller than in the low--field vortex solid. Third, the Bose-glass-to-vortex liquid transition is signaled by a rapid decrease in c-axis phase correlations. These observations are understood in terms of the ``discrete superconductor'' model.

description: Protostars and young stars are strongly spatially "clustered" or "correlated" within their natal giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We demonstrate that such clustering leads to the conclusion that the incident bolometric radiative flux upon a random young star/disc is enhanced (relative to volume-averaged fluxes) by a factor which increases with the total stellar mass of the complex. Because the Galactic cloud mass function is top-heavy, the typical star in our Galaxy experienced a much stronger radiative environment than those forming in well-observed nearby (but relatively small) clouds, exceeding fluxes in the Orion Nebular Cluster by factors of $\gtrsim$30. Heating of the circumstellar disc around a median young star is dominated by this external radiation beyond $\sim 50\,$AU. And if discs are not well-shielded by ambient dust, external UV irradiation can dominate over the host star down to sub-AU scales. Another consequence of stellar clustering is an extremely broad Galaxy-wide distribution of incident flux (spanning $>10$ decades), with half the Galactic star formation in a substantial "tail" towards even more intense background radiation. We also show that the strength of external irradiation is amplified super-linearly in high-density environments such as the Galactic centre, starbursts, or high-redshift galaxies.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORK AND POLYMER COMPOSITES FOR USE AS 3D PRINTABLE MATERIALS
Creators: name: Bible, Michael S.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this study, novel metal-organic framework (MOF) and polymer composites were developed for use as 3D printable gas-absorbing materials. Namely, the MOFs HKUST-1 and ZIF-8 were incorporated into ABS polymer matrices at a 10% (w/w) level through the use of a twin-screw compounder. The structure and stability of these novel materials were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and powder x-ray diffractometry. Analyses show that composite materials demonstrate high thermal stability and are resistant to degradation by water and humidity. It was additionally determined that incorporated MOFs do not interact chemically with the ABS matrix (no bond formation is observed) but are merely physically distributed within the polymer. Studies of the gas-absorbing properties of the composite materials reveal that ZIF-8 improves the BET surface-area and gas capacity of ABS by a quantity equal to 10% of ZIF-8 alone, while HKUST-1 improves these values only modestly. It has been concluded here that HKUST-1 may be a piezo-sensitive material and, as a result, composites of this particular MOF will need to be processed and tested differently in future studies. The study additionally demonstrates the printability of these and other MOF composites and paves the way for exciting future research on printed MOF materials through the development of optimized printing parameters and material designs.

description: High-throughput next-generation sequencing has revolutionized cancer molecular diagnosis and research. Indeed, molecular analysis revealed that the same type of tumor may exhibit diverse molecular subgroups. This technology enables the identification of novel specific genes implicated in tumor progression. Moreover, identification of specific mutations and active molecular pathways play a crucial role in identifying new drug targets. The present study highlights the clinical utility of next-generation sequencing in the management of cancer by reporting three patients with family cancer history (Li-Fraumeni syndrome, breast cancer, and colon cancer), observed in the Medical Genetics Department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca, Morocco.

Quantum coupled-wave theory of price formation in financial markets: price measurement, dynamics and ergodicity

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Trading and Market Microstructure (q-fin.TR)
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: We explore nature of price formation in financial markets and develop a theory of bid and ask price dynamics in which the two prices form due to quantum-chaotic interaction between buy and sell orders. In this model bid and ask prices are represented by eigenvalues of a 2x2 price operator corresponding to 'bid' and 'ask' eigenstates, while randomness of price operator results in price fluctuations that destroy oscillatory effects. We show that this theory adequately captures behavior of bid-ask spread and allows to model bid and ask price dynamics in a coordinated way. We also discuss ergodicity properties of price formation and show how directional price movement occurs due to ergodicity violation in a quantum process instead of the commonly believed forces acting on price. This theory has wide range of applications such as trade execution modeling, large order pricing and risk valuation for illiquid securities.

description: We demonstrate tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) junctions based on a tri layer system consisting of an epitaxial NiMnSb, aluminum oxide and CoFe tri layer. The junctions show a tunnelling magnetoresistance of Delta R/R of 8.7% at room temperature which increases to 14.7% at 4.2K. The layers show clear separate switching and a small ferromagnetic coupling. A uniaxial in plane anisotropy in the NiMnSb layer leads to different switching characteristics depending on the direction in which the magnetic field is applied, an effect which can be used for sensor applications.

title: 'How do Open University students learn from feedback?': A case study research with particular reference to Continental Europe
Creators: name: Cane, Susan Eileen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This study explored the feedback experiences of students and associate lecturers (ALs), who study and work for the Open University (OU) whilst living in Continental Europe (CE). In particular the impact of culture and previous educational experiences on the way native and non-native English speakers interact with, and learn from, assignment feedback was explored. A case study strategy was chosen, cases being bounded by residency in CE and enrolment on OU courses. The national, cultural and linguistic diversity of students plus their interactions and responses to feedback were surveyed. Semi-structured telephone interviews investigated student reaction to, and learning from feedback. Telephone interviews also gave voice to a group of experienced CE based ALs, who described modifications to tutoring and feedback practices, in the light of culturally diverse student groups. Differences were found in the way native and non-native English speakers reacted to, and learnt from assignment feedback. For example native English speakers tended to view and make sense of feedback in a holistic way whereas non-native speakers were more preoccupied with matching feedback comments to individual aspects of assignments. These and other differences observed would appear to be due to many interrelated factors, such as non-native speakers' lack of previous experience with feedback and their personal, cultural and educational history. Additionally, the pedagogical approach used in each national system of higher education is likely to have impinged upon students' reactions to feedback. The study also challenged the notion that all CE students study with the OU for subject based reasons, a significant group enrol to improve or ratify their English, with consequent ramifications for student use of feedback. Although this study centred on OU students and tutors in CE, the findings are of relevance to academic, administrative and student support staff in any university that offers courses in a transnational setting.

description: The high occurrence rates of spiral arms and large central clearings in protoplanetary disks, if interpreted as signposts of giant planets, indicate that gas giants form commonly as companions to young stars ($ 10$\, Myr) have yielded few successes. This discrepancy could be explained if most giant planets form "cold start," i.e., by radiating away much of their formation energy as they assemble their mass, rendering them faint enough to elude detection at later times. In that case, giant planets should be bright at early times, during their accretion phase, and yet forming planets are detected only rarely through direct imaging techniques. Here we explore the possibility that the low detection rate of accreting planets is the result of episodic accretion through a circumplanetary disk. We also explore the possibility that the companion orbiting the Herbig Ae star HD~142527 may be a giant planet undergoing such an accretion outburst.
