description: The role of nearby galactic sources, the supernova remnants, in formation of observed energy spectrum and anisotropy of high-energy cosmic rays is studied. The list of these sources is made up based on radio, X-ray and gamma-ray catalogues. The distant sources are treated statistically as ensemble of sources with random positions and ages. The source spectra are defined based on the modern theory of cosmic ray acceleration in supernova remnants while the propagation of cosmic rays in the interstellar medium is described in the frameworks of galactic diffusion model. Calculations of anisotropy are made to reproduce the experimental procedure of getting the two-dimensional anisotropy. The detailed comparison of calculations with cosmic ray data is made. We explained simultaneously the new cosmic ray data on a fine structure of all particle spectra around the knee and the amplitude and direction of the dipole component of anisotropy in the wide energy range 1 TeV - 1 EeV. Made assumptions do not look exotic, and they confirm the modern understanding of cosmic ray origin.

description: Deep learning in combination with improved training techniques and high computational power has led to recent advances in the field of reinforcement learning (RL) and to successful robotic RL applications such as in-hand manipulation. However, most robotic RL relies on a well known initial state distribution. In real-world tasks, this information is however often not available. For example, when disentangling waste objects the actual position of the robot w.r.t. the objects may not match the positions the RL policy was trained for. To solve this problem, we present a novel adversarial reinforcement learning (ARL) framework. The ARL framework utilizes an adversary, which is trained to steer the original agent, the protagonist, to challenging states. We train the protagonist and the adversary jointly to allow them to adapt to the changing policy of their opponent. We show that our method can generalize from training to test scenarios by training an end-to-end system for robot control to solve a challenging object disentangling task. Experiments with a KUKA LBR+ 7-DOF robot arm show that our approach outperforms the baseline method in disentangling when starting from different initial states than provided during training.

description: The importance of studying the rational technology for reclamation of disturbed developed space in open cast mining during the field’s operation is shown. The most targeted methods of forming the worked-out area of quarries depending on the climatic conditions of the area of development of the field and the creation of a natural-technical landscape are given. The proposed rational options for the restoration of quarries improve the environmental conditions of the territory of an open-pit mine.

description: Using AdS/CFT correspondence we study non-equilibrium phase transition in the presence of a constant external magnetic field. The transition occurs when the sign of differential conductivity reverses. Utilizing numerical method we show that the type of transition depends on the value of magnetic field as well as the temperature of gauge theory. Moreover we show that this transition does not depend on the supersymmetry and the subspace on which the fundamental matter fields live.

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new dynamical parameter, the f-indicator, is introduced and used in order to distinguish between regular and chaotic motion in galactic Hamiltonian systems. Two kinds of galactic potentials are used: (i) a global potential, which describes the whole galaxy and (ii) a local potential, which is made up of perturbed harmonic oscillators and describes motion near an equilibrium point. The new indicator is based on the energies of the separable system along the x, y and z axis. Comparison between the outcomes obtained using the new dynamical parameter and other methods, such as the maximum Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent (L.C.E), or the S(c) dynamical spectrum, shows that the new dynamical indicator gives fast and reliable results concerning the regular or chaotic character of the orbits. The new indicator was tested in several Hamiltonian systems of two (2D) degrees and three (3D) degrees of freedom.

How corporate social responsibility influences employee job satisfaction in the hotel industry
Creators: name: Chiang, Chia-Chun Saprina
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether strategic CSR programs in the hotel industry influence individual job satisfaction. Based on Valentine and Fleischman's study in company ethics programs and employees' perceived CSR, job satisfaction is related to many significant organizational factors and is usually a major concentration of business research that investigates employee-based phenomena (Valentine & Fleischman, 2008, p. 160). In addition, this paper will seek for the literature supporting the positive correlation between a company's strategic CSR activities and its employees' job satisfaction. In other words, this study will identify whether and how employees' perceptions of their company's external CSR practices influence their commitments to the organization. Ultimately, the information summarized in this paper should provide the hotel industry's management and operators with the information they need to utilize CSR strategies that will improve the company morale and job satisfaction rate for their employees. This paper will be presented in the following sequence. In the first section, the implications that arise from the concept of CSR in the hotel industry will be briefly discussed. The second section will review previous studies' findings on strategic CSR and employees' reactions to these practices. The third and final section of this paper will analyze the rationale and effectiveness of strategic CSR and summarize its findings and conclusions.
First principles studies of the size and shape effects on reactivity of the Se modified Ru nanoparticles

description: We present here the results of our density-functional-theory-based calculations of the electronic and geometric structures and energetics of Se and O adsorption on Ru 93- and 105-atom nanoparticles. These studies have been inspired by the fact that Se/Ru nanoparticles are considered promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the direct methanol fuel cell cathodes and the oxygen binding energy is a descriptor for the catalyst activity towards this reaction. We find the character of chemical bonding of Se on a flat nanoparticle facet to be ionic, similar to that obtained earlier for the Se/Ru(0001) surface, while in the case of a low coordinated Ru configuration there is an indication of some covalent contribution to the bonding leading to an increase in Se binding energy. Se and O co-adsorbed on the flat facet, both accept electronic charge from Ru, whereas the adsorption on low-coordinated sites causes more complicated valence charge redistribution. The Se modification of the Ru particles leads to weakening of the oxygen bonding to the particle. However, overall, O binding energies are found to be higher for the particles than for Se/Ru(0001). High reactivity of the Se/Ru nanoparticles found in this work is not favorable for ORR. We thus expect that larger particles with well-developed flat facets are more efficient ORR catalysts than small nanoparticles with a large fraction of under-coordinated adsorption sites.

title: An Analysis of the environmental content of Las Vegas Strip hotels
Creators: name: Levey, Andrew M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2007

description: This study examines the environmental content of hotel properties websites. The central question of this study is whether Las Vegas Strip properties have gone green, or plan to go green. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the frequency of the environmental content of twenty-three Las Vegas Strip hotels’ websites as well as five upcoming hotel projects and one hotel expansion project on the Strip. The twenty-eight hotels are all located along Las Vegas Boulevard, also known as the Strip. All properties examined have over two thousand rooms each. The goal is to determine how prevalent and important the environment is to these Strip properties and if the verbiage on their websites matches their actions. Each hotel’s website will be thoroughly examined to determine what they have posted as far as their current and future environmental plans and policies with respect to the following four areas: management support and concerns for the environment; environmental planning; environmental leadership qualities internally and externally; and validation or certification of environmental programs (Jose et al 2007). If there are no results from the website search, the corporation’s annual reports will be examined for such content. The next step after that is to conduct interviews with employees, managers, and executives of the hotels.

description: We analyze the dynamics of a superconducting qubit and the phenomenon of multiorder Rabi oscillations in the presence of a time-modulated external field. Such a field is also presented as a bichromatic field consisting of two spectral components, which are symmetrically detuned from the qubit resonance frequency. This approach leads to obtaining qualitative quantum effects beyond those for the case of monochromatic excitation of qubits. We calculate Floquet states and quasienergies of the composite system "superconducting qubit plus time-modulated field" for various resonant regimes. We analyze the dependence of quasienergies from the amplitude of an external field, demonstrating the zeros of difference between quasienergies. We show that, as a rule, populations of qubit states exhibit aperiodic oscillations, but we demonstrate the specific important regimes in which dynamics of populations becomes periodically regular.

description: This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic based Adaptive Super-twisting Sliding Mode Controller for the control of dynamic uncertain systems. The proposed controller combines the advantages of Second order Sliding Mode Control, Fuzzy Logic Control and Adaptive Control. The reaching conditions, stability and robustness of the system with the proposed controller are guaranteed. In addition, the proposed controller is well suited for simple design and implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed controller over the first order Sliding Mode Fuzzy Logic controller is illustrated by Matlab based simulations performed on a DC-DC Buck converter. Based on this comparison, the proposed controller is shown to obtain the desired transient response without causing chattering and error under steady-state conditions. The proposed controller is able to give robust performance in terms of rejection to input voltage variations and load variations.

description: This paper presents findings from a study of e-commerce adoption by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia. Only tiny number of Saudi commercial organizations, mostly medium and large companies from the manufacturing sector, in involved in e-commerce implementation. The latest report released in 2010 by The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) in Saudi Arabia shows that only 8% of businesses sell online. Accordingly new research has been conducted to explore to what extent electronic mall (e-mall) would enable SMEs in Saudi Arabia to adopt and use online channels for their sales. A quantitative analysis of responses obtained from a survey of 108 SMEs in Saudi Arabia was conducted. The main results of the current analysis demonstrate the significant of organizational factors, and technology and environmental factors. Interestingly, traditional & cultural factors have no significance in this regard.

description: We prove upper bounds on the rate, called "mixing rate", at which the von Neumann entropy of the expected density operator of a given ensemble of states changes under non-local unitary evolution. For an ensemble consisting of two states, with probabilities of p and 1-p, we prove that the mixing rate is bounded above by 4\sqrt{p(1-p)} for any Hamiltonian of norm 1. For a general ensemble of states with probabilities distributed according to a random variable X and individually evolving according to any set of bounded Hamiltonians, we conjecture that the mixing rate is bounded above by a Shannon entropy of a random variable X. For this general case we prove an upper bound that is independent of the dimension of the Hilbert space on which states in the ensemble act.

description: According to the Monterey County Chamber of Commerce, each year an estimated 3 million tourists, who spend nearly $2 billion and create 36,600 jobs, visit the Monterey Peninsula in California (Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, 2000). Unfortunately, this area suffers from hospitality industry-wide low occupancy from late fall until early spring, mainly due to the cooler, rainy weather (Boerner, 2004). During these periods of low occupancy, I believe that there is a challenge in maintaining employee morale. The impetus of this research is my belief that there is a correlation between an increase or decrease in employee morale and the ability to maintain established service standards. The goal of the research is to give managers more information on employee morale with the ultimate goal of maintaining high service standards during low occupancy. What I learn about moral may be applicable to hospitality properties in other regions that have an off season.

description: In January 2019, the American Council for Graduate Medical Education [ACGME] approved a new subspecialty, Complex Family Planning [CFP], for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology [ABOG]. “Complex Family Planning” is a euphemism for late-term abortion. Since all obstetricians and gynecologists have been trained to manage miscarriage and fetal demise at all gestational ages, there is no scientific purpose to mandate training in induced abortion of a viable fetus. Instituting the new ABOG abortion subspecialty, Complex Family Planning, will further violate the conscience rights of medical students and resident physicians by forcing them to participate in performing abortions. Taking advantage of the Blütkeit phenomenon, elite academic abortionists violate the innocence of young professionals. They force them to be complicit in committing atrocities, victimizing vulnerable girls and women. This rite of initiation ensures their shared responsibility and diminishes the possibility of subsequent moral dissent.

description: We perform a Bohmian-trajectory analysis of high-order harmonic generation (HHG), focusing on the fact that typical HHG spectra are best reproduced by the Bohmian trajectory starting at the innermost part of the core [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{88}, 023415 (2013)]. Using ensemble averages around this central trajectory, we show that, for the high-plateau and cutoff harmonics, small ensembles of Bohmian trajectories are sufficient for a quantitative agreement with the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE), while larger ensembles are necessary in the low-plateau region. Furthermore, we relate the Bohmian trajectories to the "short" and "long" trajectories encountered in the Strong-Field Approximation (SFA), and show that the time-frequency maps from the central Bohmian trajectory overestimate the contributions of the long SFA trajectory, in comparison to the outcome of the TDSE computations. We also discuss how the time-frequency profile of the central trajectory may be influenced nonlocally by degrading the wave-packet propagation far from the core.

description: Many methods for machine learning rely on approximate inference from intractable probability distributions. Variational inference approximates such distributions by tractable models that can be subsequently used for approximate inference. Learning sufficiently accurate approximations requires a rich model family and careful exploration of the relevant modes of the target distribution. We propose a method for learning accurate GMM approximations of intractable probability distributions based on insights from policy search by using information-geometric trust regions for principled exploration. For efficient improvement of the GMM approximation, we derive a lower bound on the corresponding optimization objective enabling us to update the components independently. Our use of the lower bound ensures convergence to a stationary point of the original objective. The number of components is adapted online by adding new components in promising regions and by deleting components with negligible weight. We demonstrate on several domains that we can learn approximations of complex, multimodal distributions with a quality that is unmet by previous variational inference methods, and that the GMM approximation can be used for drawing samples that are on par with samples created by state-of-the-art MCMC samplers while requiring up to three orders of magnitude less computational resources.
Mesopause Temperature Retrieval from SATI Measured Spectra with a Linear Background Component. Results from the Numerical Simulation

description: The Spectral Airglow Temperature Imager is a ground-based spectral instrument for spatial registration of airglow emissions. The basic aim of the instrument development is the investigation of gravity waves based on the spatial characteristics of the temperature field at the altitude of mesopause and its evolution in the time. The temperature retrieval is based on matching measured and preliminary calculated synthetic spectra. Possibilities are presented for generalization of the basic regression equation which connects the measured and the synthetic spectra. A linear change of the background for the entire filter transmittance interval was presumed. Numerical experiments by Monte-Karlo simulation were conducted. The presented results show a bigger stability of the proposed approach in comparison with the traditional one, without considering the linear background.

description: We have found an optical/X-ray counterpart candidate for the bright, but presently unidentified, Fermi source 2FGL J1311.7-3429. This counterpart undergoes large amplitude quasi-sinusoidal optical modulation with a 1.56h (5626s) period. The modulated flux is blue at peak, with T_eff ~14,000K, and redder at minimum. Superimposed on this variation are dramatic optical flares. Archival X-ray data suggest modest binary modulation, but no eclipse. With the gamma-ray properties, this appears to be another black-widow-type millisecond pulsar. If confirmation pulses can be found in the GeV data, this binary will have the shortest orbital period of any known spin-powered pulsar. The flares may be magnetic events on the rapidly rotating companion or shocks in the companion-stripping wind. While this may be a radio-quiet millisecond pulsar, we show that such objects are a small subset of the gamma-ray pulsar population.
