description: Abstract

The focus of this research is to gain insight into brand loyalty after rebranding literature by investigating: (a) the comparative change in customer trust for a brand; (b) the comparative change in customer brand commitment; (c) the comparative change in attitudinal and behavioural loyalty of the customers towards the brand after the change in the brand name. We have checked the customers loyalty towards the brand after the name change. The study makes a unique contribution by segmenting loyalty into attitudinal and behavioural forms. Survey methodology is employed to gather responses from 1137 Glow & Lovely face cream customers. Data is collected through a structured questionnaire with statements rated on a 7-point Likert scale. Convenience sampling is utilized, and the data analysis is conducted using Partial Least Square (PLS) 4.0.9.9. The key objective of the research is to offer comprehensive information regarding the customers loyalty after rebranding.

description: This poster introduces a datasheet template that has been adapted specifically to accompany culturalheritage datasets. The template proposes, amongst others, to incorporate semi‐structured informationon the motivation and the selection criteria, the digitisation pipeline, data provenance, and versioninformation. It has been created by a Working Group set up within the Europeana Research Communityand the EuropeanaTech Community (pro.europeana.eu/project/datasheets‐for‐digital‐cultural‐heritage‐working‐group). Given the rapid development of the field, the datasheet template is explicitly introducedas a proposal: a first working version for gaining experience and to collect feedback. The group intends tocontinue working on it.

REMARKS
The specimens recovered from the present material are very close to Costoanachis terebralis (Grateloup, 1834), which is a rather widespread European species. Its members present morphological variations that mainly concern the width of the shell and the spacing of axial sculpture. The present specimens are on the more slender side of the morphology, most similar to the specimens described in A.W. Janssen (1984).
It differs from C. corrugata (Brocchi, 1814) in having a smaller shell and no spiral sculpture, although some very inconspicuous spiral threads are observed between the axial ribs in a juvenile specimen from Felli. The protoconch is multispiral and dome-shaped, the corrosion of the recovered shells does not allow for a detailed description.

description: II. Aclerda sp. C.
USA: Texas, Weslaco, on Johnson Grass (Poaceae), 11.v.1949, P.T. Riherd, Vial 7, 49-1028 (USNM): 1/1ad ♂.
Both A. holci and Aclerda sp. C were very similar to the species described above, sharing the following characters: (i) the presence of the sclerite on the membranous area bounded by the mesopostnotum laterally and the scutellum anteriorly; (ii) the absence of a “proper” postnotal apophysis; (iii) the presence of a well-developed prealare ridge; (iv) the same basic head structure; (v) presence of a well-developed preoral tentorial bridge; (vi) presence of convex pores on the dorsum; (vii) presence of spiracular disc-pores; (viii) particularly large lateropleurite; (ix) arms of furca rather parallel; (x) posterior position of metathoracic spiracles posterior to mesocoxae; (xi) a narrow, parallel-sided prealare; (xii) wings long and narrow; (xiii) scutum reticulated laterad to scutellum; (xiv) pronotal ridge fused; and (xv) the same basic genital structure. Both species differed from three of the species described in detail above in having a long ventral median crest, which extended posteriorly to almost level with the base of each scape. A. holci also had the trochanter rather swollen as in some of the species above, each with a short trochanter seta, while the trochanter of Aclerda sp. C were not noticeably swollen. Both species lack glandular pouches but have a long pleural seta on abdominal segment VIII, with those of A. holci longer than the penial sheath. The ocelli on Aclerda sp. C were very obvious, those on A. holci much less so.
General comment. Aclerdid males seem to share very few characters with male coccids, perhaps the main ones being the presence of the membranous area on the scutum and the absence of the tarsal campaniform pore.
In addition to the genus Aclerda, the Aclerdinae include Lecanoclerda and Nipponaclerda. The adult male of Lecanoclerda macropoda is the only Aclerdinae species where the adult female has well-developed legs; the adult male is shown in Fig. 84. Nipponaclerda includes 4 species, all from Asia. The adult male of only the type species has been briefly described and illustrated (McConnel, 1954). Whilst the adult female clearly belongs to the Aclerdinae (but has marginal setae around the entire margin), the adult male (Fig. 85) is apterous, without any dermal sclerotised thoracic plates, the legs are very much reduced, with the anterior legs 1 segmented and the meso- and metathoracic legs 3 or 4 segmented, the antennae are one-segmented, each with a bunch of setae, and the penial sheath is very short and blunt. Morphologically, there are thus very few clues as to its relationships based on the adult male.

description: Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient that participates in several plant metabolisms. Soil application of Zn is an effective strategy to increase the productivity and Zn concentration in maize grains, but the effect of Zn fertilizers on the nutrients uptake and biofortification still needs more studies. In this study, a greenhouse plot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the optimum Zn fertilizer doses (0, 5.7, and 11.4 kg ha−1) on the nutrients uptake and Zn biofortification of maize crops. Zn applications were found to increase significantly the transpiration rate; photosynthesis rate, Zn, and P concentration in the maize shoot at the VT (Tasseling) stage as well as the grain Zn and maize grain yield. P, Mg, and phytic acid (PA) concentration in grains was also increased with a Zn application of 11.4 kg ha−1. The PA/Zn molar ratio in grains decreased due to the Zn application doses as compared with the control treatment, but there was no significant difference between Zn 5.7 and 11.4 kg ha−1 doses, while Zn 5.7 kg ha−1 achieved a higher PA/Fe molar ratio in maize grains compared to other treatments.

REMARKS
Two specimens of the species were recovered, that can be easily distinguished from other species of Melongena mainly by having a spiral sculpture of spiral angular cords separated by deep furrows (of variable width), an elongated slightly pyriform shape, and has a single row of shoulder spines.
Melongena lainei has been found in the neighbouring location of Agapi in the Aquitanian of the Mesohellenic Basin (Harzhauser & Kowalke 2001). Melongena lainei semseyiana (Erdös, 1900) is found in the late Oligocene of the Mesohellenic Basin; it is considered to represent a chrono-subspecies (Harzhauser 2004) and is treated as belonging to the M. semseyana lineage by Landau et al. (2013). In the middle Miocene of the Proto-Mediterranean (Turkey), this melongenid is replaced by M. jaapi Landau, Harzhauser, İslamoğlu & Silva, 2013, a species easily distinguished from M. lainei in having shorter spires and a more inflated last whorl.
Modern representatives of Melongena live in the intertidal zone (some can be found up to depths of 30 m) of the Caribbean, the Panama, and Indo-Pacific bio-provinces and are predators mainly on bivalves (including burrowing species) (Lozouet & Londeix 2014b). In the fossil record, M. lainei is present in brackish-water paleocommunities in the Proto-Mediterranean during the Aquitanian and the Burdigalian (Harzhauser & Kowalke 2001; Lozouet et al. 2001).

description: Abstract

Creating alternative economic activities that generate additional income for fishermen is a method to alleviate poverty in their households. One such endeavor is diversifying household income sources through activities beyond fishing. Implementing IMTA as an environmentally friendly cultivation system is a potential alternative livelihood for Banda fishermen. This study aims to devise strategies to make IMTA a viable alternative livelihood for the Banda Islands fishing community. Using a descriptive method, data collection involved observing IMTA cultivation pilot projects over six months, conducting FGDs with 50 participants including fishermen, local government officials, and academics, and reviewing relevant literature. Research data underwent SWOT analysis. Livelihood development strategies derived from IFAS and EFAS analysis, with weighted scores of (S = 3.57; W = -2.86) and (O = 3.90; T = -3.84) respectively, with X = 0.92 and Y = 0.26. The intersection of X and Y axes yielded S-O strategies in quadrant I, comprising (1) Socialization and training on IMTA cultivation techniques for the community, (2) Mapping suitable areas for IMTA cultivation, (3) Developing a seasonal calendar for IMTA cultivation activities, and (4) Providing assistance in using local seeds and natural feed to minimize production costs and post-harvest handling in IMTA cultivation.

REMARKS
Although the protoconchs of the recovered specimens are corroded, the sculpture and the overall shape of the shells are indicative of Pusia pyramidella. As Landau et al. (2013) mention, this species has many similarities with P. ebenus (Lamarck, 1811) but differs in protoconch sculpture, a feature that cannot be assessed here. Most of the specimens from Felli bear ribs on early teleoconch whorls that dissipate and are absent on later whorls. All of the specimens are juveniles, showing the characteristic sculpture of the species on the first four teleoconch whorls.
A full list of synonyms and a discussion on related species is presented in detail in Landau et al. (2013). Due to the conchological similarities with Pusia ebenus (Lamarck, 1811), which is assigned to Pusia (Ebenomitra) subgenus by Fedosov et al. (2017), we chose to include the present species in the genus Pusia with no certainty regarding its subgeneric affinities.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) might offer a solution for the lack of trained health personnel, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. However, their strengths and weaknesses remain unclear. Here we benchmark different LLMs (Bard 2023.07.13, Claude 2, ChatGPT 4) against six consultants in otorhinolaryngology (ORL). Case-based questions were extracted from literature and German state examinations. Answers from Bard 2023.07.13, Claude 2, ChatGPT 4, and six ORL consultants were rated blindly on a 6-point Likert-scale for medical adequacy, comprehensibility, coherence, and conciseness. Given answers were compared to validated answers and evaluated for hazards. A modified Turing test was performed and character counts were compared. LLMs answers ranked inferior to consultants in all categories. Yet, the difference between consultants and LLMs was marginal, with the clearest disparity in conciseness and the smallest in comprehensibility. Among LLMs Claude 2 was rated best in medical adequacy and conciseness. Consultants’ answers matched the validated solution in 93% (228/246), ChatGPT 4 in 85% (35/41), Claude 2 in 78% (32/41), and Bard 2023.07.13 in 59% (24/41). Answers were rated as potentially hazardous in 10% (24/246) for ChatGPT 4, 14% (34/246) for Claude 2, 19% (46/264) for Bard 2023.07.13, and 6% (71/1230) for consultants. Despite consultants superior performance, LLMs show potential for clinical application in ORL. Future studies should assess their performance on larger scale.

Indecorous thinking

description: This dissertation considers how questions of poetic form in literary studies converge with questions of epistemology in the early modern period. As early modern pedagogues sought to define the relationship between the arts of speaking and of thinking – rhetoricand dialectic – they spent a good deal of time describing what poetic figures might and might not do in an attempt to preserve thinking, and the mind itself, from the threat of linguistic mutability. I examine how Edmund Spenser’s poetic practices pushed againstprevailing pedagogical proscriptions, driving a wedge between an ideal of decorous proportion and the natural limitations this ideal claimed to represent. Drawing on a range of humanist theories and practices – from Latin lectures on rhetoric and dialectic tovernacular handbooks of eloquence – I argue that Spenser experimented with poetic forms as instruments of thinking at a moment when the university characterized these same forms as the mere ornaments of speaking. While recent scholarship has done much to revive form as an object of study, Spenserian poetics teaches us to read form not as an effect of ideology or circumstance but as the engine of a certain kind of thinking that early modern schoolrooms were looking to exclude. I call this thinking “indecorous” and my dissertation tracks its activity from the disciplinary reforms of 1570s Cambridge to the borders of Elizabeth’s empire, arguing that forms as varied as the pun, the couplet, and the simile offer a model of the mind in which thinking is embedded in the time andlabor of poetic production.

(Fig. 12 A-F)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Sample F10: AMPG (IV) 2473 (one specimen).
DIMENSIONS. — Height: 26.0 mm; width: 14.5 mm.
DISTRIBUTION. — Early Miocene. Proto-Mediterranean Sea: Greece (this paper).
DESCRIPTION
Shell inflated, sides slightly convex. Protoconch not preserved. Moderately low spire; whorl tops with 3 cords; last whorl with prominent, slightly rounded shoulder. Spiral sculpture in adapical half of the shell, consists of irregularly-spaced striae.Aperture poorly preserved, appears moderately wide. Colour pattern consists of irregularly-spaced dots of variable sizes.
REMARKS
The specimen recovered in the present material although incomplete, shows some characters that would place it closer to the genus Lautoconus Monterosato, 1923. These are mainly the whorl tops with sculpture, the shouldered last whorl and the spiral sculpture at the base of the shell. Some doubts arise since the early teleoconch spiral structure cannot be assessed and the subsutural flexure cannot be measured due to the preservation of the specimen. This does not allow for a certain attribution to the genus Lautoconus. Nevertheless, the present specimen has similar spiral and whorl top sculpture with the type specimen of the genus.
The species seems to have only a primary colour pattern, with the bands of dots being equidistant whereas spirally, their disposition is irregular (distance between each dot). The pattern is comparable to that of Kalloconus berghausi (Michelotti, 1847) from the middle Miocene of Turkey as illustrated in Landau et al. (2013).

description: The planktonic and benthic foraminifera from the lower to middle Miocene shales of the Carapita Formation of Eastern Venezuela in three exploration wells and one outcrop section are analyzed with the objectives of establishing a precise biostratigraphy of the formation and its bathymetric history. Comparison with the well-preserved microfaunas of the correlative Cipero Formation of Trinidad made possible the achievement of these objectives. The formation, up to 4500 to 6000 m thick in outcrops, extends from northeastern Anzoátegui and North of Monagas States to the Gulf of Paria and is both an important oil reservoir towards the east and the main seal rock for the Oligocene reservoir in the north of Monagas State. In the area studied the Carapita Formation spans lower to lower middle Miocene Zones N6/M3 to N9/M6; its upper part is unconstrained as only rare long ranging early Miocene to early Pliocene planktonic foraminifera occur above the Orbulina datum. Unexpectedly, we found that the four lower to middle Miocene sections are highly discontinuous, with hiastuses as long as 4 Myr. Based on the abundance patterns of sixty-nine species of benthic foraminifera and analysis of morphotype abundance following the methodology of Corliss and Chen (1988) and Corliss and Fois (1993), we show that the Carapita Formation was deposited at outer neritic to middle bathyal depths (≥ 200-1000 m), whereas the Cipero Formation was deposited at middle to lower bathyal depths (≥600-2000 m). Importantly, the bathymetric changes are associated with unconformities in all sections, strongly suggesting that both (shallowing and associated unconformities) were tectonically induced.
The application of a micrometeorological technique to measure air-water exchange of polychlorinated biphenyls

description: In this study, a micrometeorological technique was applied for the first time to investigate the air-water exchange of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). By measuring the concentrations of PCBs at two heights above the water surface as well as in the dissolved phase, air-water exchange fluxes and mass transfer coefficient (vaw), also known as air-water exchange velocity, were determined for individual PCB congeners in the Hudson River. The average gas-phase ΣPCB concentration was 1.1 ng m-3, and ranged from 0.62-2.2 ng m-3, these values are elevated over regional background by about a factor of 6. The atmospheric stability factor of water vapor (φw), which were used to correct PCB fluxes for non-neutral conditions, ranged from 1.0-3.2 (roughly neutral to stable conditions). Vertical ΣPCB fluxes ranged from +0.5 μg m-2 d -1 to +13.5 μg m-2 d-1. Individual congener fluxes ranged from negative to +1.3 μg m-2 d-1. Mono through tri homologues accounted for about half of ΣPCB fluxes, with tetra through hexa accounting for the other half. The average daily ΣPCB flux was 4 μg m-2 d-1, which suggests that about 400 kg ΣPCBs volatilize from this water body over the three summer months.  Dissolved-phase PCB concentrations ranged from 2.5 to 32 ng L-1, while concentrations in the suspended particle phase ranged from 5.3 to 14 ng L-1. The derived vaw values for individual congeners averaged 0.81 m d-1, with a median of 0.49 m d-1 and a range of 0.042 to 8.4 m d-1. Average uncertainty in vaw is about 70%. Compared to other studies, our vaw values are more precise (lower uncertainty) and more selective (measured for individual congeners) than values determined by the Whitman two-film model.  The results from multiple regression analysis indicate that the relationship of vaw with meteorological and PCB physicochemical properties were significant. However, minute r2 values suggest that other parameters may play a pivotal role on vaw in this system. Future studies should extend the range of temperature and wind speed over which vaw is measured and should also focus on understanding the role of the surface micro layer and surfactants on air/water exchange of PCBs.

Strutural [sic] and dynamic NMR studies of the Crk proto-oncogene
Creators: name: Sarkar, Paramita
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: The Crk family of adaptor proteins is ubiquitously expressed in most tissues and mediates the timely formation of protein complexes elicited by a variety of extracellular stimuli, including various growth and differentiation factors. This class of proteins lacks an apparent catalytic domain and may serve as adaptors, coupling different proteins of a signal transduction cascade. Crk adaptor proteins are made up of one modular Src homology 2 (SH2) and two Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. SH2 domains bind to phosphotyrosine (pTyr) containing sequence, while SH3 domain binds to proline rich motifs. The two SH3 domains are separated by long linker containing highly conserved proline reisdues. Although the role of SH2 and N-terminal SH3 (SH3N) domains of Crk has been generally delineated, the role of C-terminal SH3 (SH3C) domain remains entirely unknown. There is, however, increasing evidence that the SH3C domain along with the linker act as a regulatory element. Despite the fact that Crk has provided a model system for understanding how adaptor proteins mediate signal transduction, currently the mechanistic basis for the regulation of its function remain elusive. Such an understanding is now rendered evev more urgent because of Crk has been found to be overexpressed in many human cancers.  Here, using an integrated NMR, thermodynamic, and biochemical approach, we show the presence of a unique regulatory mechanism in Crk. We have shown hat the SH3C domain serves to regulate the binding activity of the SH3N domain through an intramolecular interaction that is controlled by a prolyl cis/trans isomerization. Proline isomeerization toggles rk between two conformations: an autoinhibitory one, stabilized by the intramolecuar association of the two SH3 domains in the cis form, and an unhibited, activated one prompted by the trans form. The data provides atomic insight into the mechanisms that underpin the functionality of this binary switch and elucidate its remarkable efficiency. The results also demonstrate the interactions are mediated by novel SH3 binding surface. Also, the phosphorylation of the regulatory Tyrosine (Y222) by c-Abl is regulated by another set of prolyl-peptidyl bond, which also serve as a substrate for Cyclophilin A (CypA).
Architecture of a programmable system-on-chip platform for flexible radio processing

description: The emergence of multiple radio access technologies (RATs) and their continuous evolution, is driving the need for programmable radio processing. Programmable radio devices with run-time flexibility and resource virtualization features will not only enable faster time-to-market, longer lifetime of devices, and universal connectivity, but also act as building blocks for advanced wireless technologies of adaptive and cognitive radios. These requirements have forced a shift from the traditional ASIC approach. However, most existing flexible solutions are based  on either fully software-defined or software-controlled approaches that lack the power efficiency, performance and determinism (for real-time constraints) needed for wireless processing. In this thesis, we propose a programmable multi-processor system-on-chip (SoC) platform architecture based on a novel Virtual Flow Pipelining (VFP) framework that aims at striking a balance between flexibility (as provided by SDR) and performance (as provided by ASICs). The key highlights of this concept are a simple task-level programming model for provisioning protocol flows, and the use of dedicated hardware-based OS-like support for controlling their run-time execution. We present the evolution of a clustering-based organization for the SoC with distributed-shared controllers. Clustering along with an inherent architectural support for message passing provides a balance between scalability and hardware overhead. Shared controllers with a pipelined microarchitecture and a separate interconnect for control messaging are designed for low hardware complexity and high performance. The proposed architecture is evaluated by creating a bit- and cycle-accurate model in synthesizable register-transfer-level (RTL). It has been built into a virtual platform for 802.11a transmitter, which has successfully executed single and multiple flows for rates of 6, 12 and 24 Mbps. This thesis also presents a characterization and analysis of the architecture to provide key implications such as control overhead for different task sizes, its impact on cluster size etc.
From millions to one

description: One of the most significant advances in biology has been the ability to sequence the DNA of organisms.  Even in the shadow of the completion of the human genome, intractable regions of the genome remain incomplete.  Next generation high-throughput short read sequencing technologies are now available and have the ability to generate millions of short read DNA sequences per run. Although greater coverage depths are possible, de novo sequence assembly with these shorter sequences is significantly more complex than resequencing; handling them presents new computational problems and opportunities.  Identifying repetitive regions, coping with sequencing errors, and manipulating the millions of short reads simultaneously, are some of the difficulties that must be overcome.  As a result of these complexities and working with the short read sequences from the Waksman SOLiD sequencing platform, this work explores the problem of de novo assembly. Initially, we develop tools for filtering short read sequence data based on quality scores and find that this procedure is critical for the success of the subsequent de novo assembly.  Next, we analyze the key phenomena responsible for producing contigs that are much shorter than the values provided by theoretical estimates.  Finally, we explore two different routes to circumventing the difficulty imposed by short contigs. The first involves utilization of information from multiple orthologous genomes in a comparative assembly. In particular, we developed a pipeline for using the reference genome of a close by relative to improve genome assembly.  The second approach uses paired read information to build scaffolds that are two orders of magnitude larger than the original contigs.  For typical bacterial genomes, less than one hundred of these scaffolds are required to cover the entire genome.  The combination of short reads from various platforms, assembly, and recovery pipelines brings mid-sized genomes close to completion.  As a result, minimal additional work using conventional sequencing technologies are enough to close the remaining small gaps and return a finished single genome.  Current advancements in sequencing technologies leave us hopeful that it would be possible to provide fairly complete assemblies for complex genomes via these technological approaches.
The principle of double effect and preschoolers' moral intuitions
Creators: name: Saunders, Katharine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: A thought experiment known as the trolley problem has frequently been used to examine whether adult moral judgments follow utilitarian principles; for example, maximize happiness for the greatest number. Previous research has shown that adults find it morally permissible to harm one person to save five others only when the harm to one is a foreseen side effect of saving five, but not when the harm to one is deliberately intended as the means to saving five. However, when asked to justify this moral intuition, few adults can articulate the principles guiding their judgment, suggesting that our moral judgments may be rooted in unconscious processes that evaluate the causal and intentional properties of an event. The current study tested 54 children on age-appropriate trolley dilemmas to examine whether young children make this distinction between harm as side effect and harm as a main effect. Our research indicates that like adults, preschoolers favor a utilitarian outcome when harming one person is simply a foreseen side effect of saving five others, but not when harming one person is the main effect of saving five.
One-loop maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes to all orders in the spacetime dimension

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis we discuss in detail computational methods and new results for one-loop virtual corrections to N = 4 super Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes calculated to all orders in [epsilon], the dimensional regularization parameter. It is often the case that one-loop gauge theory computations are carried out to O[epsilon]⁰, since higher order in [epsilon] contributions vanish in the [epsilon right arrow] 0 limit. We will show, however, that the higher order contributions are actually quite useful. In the context of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills, we consider two examples in detail to illustrate our point. First we will concentrate on computations with gluonic external states and argue that N = 4 supersymmetry implies a simple relation between all-orders-in-[epsilon] one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes and the first and second stringy corrections to analogous tree-level N = 4  amplitudes. For our second example we will derive a new result for the all-orders-in-[epsilon] one-loop superamplitude for planar six-particle NMHV scattering, an object which allows one to easily obtain six-point NMHV amplitudes with arbitrary external states. To make the presentation as self-contained as possible, we extensively review the prerequisites necessary to understand the main results of this thesis.
