description: Particle cascades initiated by ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos in the lunar regolith will emit an electromagnetic pulse with a time duration of the order of nano seconds through a process known as the Askaryan effect. It has been shown that in an observing window around 150 MHz there is a maximum chance for detecting this radiation with radio telescopes commonly used in astronomy. In 50 hours of observation time with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope array we have set a new limit on the flux of neutrinos, summed over all flavors, with energies in excess of $4\times10^{22}$ eV.

description: We present X-ray observations of the northern outskirts of the relaxed galaxy cluster A1413 with Suzaku, whose XIS instrument has the low intrinsic background needed to make measurements of these low surface brightness regions. We excise 15 point sources superimposed on the image above a flux of $1\times 10^{-14}$ \fluxunit (2--10keV) using XMM-Newton and Suzaku images of the cluster. We quantify all known systematic errors as part of our analysis, and show our statistical errors encompasses them for the most part. Our results extend previous measurements with Chandra and XMM-Newton, and show a significant temperature drop to about 3keV at the virial radius, $r_{200}$. Our entropy profile in the outer region ($> 0.5 r_{200}$) joins smoothly onto that of XMM-Newton, and shows a flatter slope compared with simple models, similar to a few other clusters observed at the virial radius. The integrated mass of the cluster at the virial radius is approximately $7.5\times10^{14}M_{\odot}$ and varies by about 30% depending on the particular method used to measure it.

PATRIMONY, SUSTAINABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT RECONSIDERED: A CRITICAL REVIEW
Creators: name: Maximiliano, Korstanje
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2012

description: Development and sustainability are terms under a hot debate in anthropology academy today and for a long time more. For one hand, the anthropology for development will argue that societies are located in a continuum in search for rationalization and social evolution; for the other hand, neo-Marxist anthropologists (known as well as anthropology of development) will emphasize the idea that some countries monopolize a major grade of capital with the aim to dominate politically to others weaker counties. By utilizing the ideology in educating undeveloped countries for an efficient economic resources administration, First World deploys a combination of financial assistance and ideological discourses enrooted in the paradigm of development, heritage, cultural tourism and sustainability to keep the control in a changing world. Likewise, the development not only is a troublesome concept -in part very difficult to grasp- but also comprises a mechanism to create a bridge between material exploitation and human’s necessities. The present paper insists in the importance of development critical in these types of issues.

description: The role of social media in fashion industry has been blooming as the years have continued on. In this work, we investigate sentiment analysis for fashion related posts in social media platforms. There are two main challenges of this task. On the first place, information of different modalities must be jointly considered to make the final predictions. On the second place, some unique fashion related attributes should be taken into account. While most existing works focus on traditional multimodal sentiment analysis, they always fail to exploit the fashion related attributes in this task. We propose a novel framework that jointly leverages the image vision, post text, as well as fashion attribute modality to determine the sentiment category. One characteristic of our model is that it extracts fashion attributes and integrates them with the image vision information for effective representation. Furthermore, it exploits the mutual relationship between the fashion attributes and the post texts via a mutual attention mechanism. Since there is no existing dataset suitable for this task, we prepare a large-scale sentiment analysis dataset of over 12k fashion related social media posts. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our model.

description: The capital structures of the enterprises and the factors that affect these structures have been dealt with extensively in literature. The experimental studies of Modigliani-Miller conducted within the context of developed countries’ economic and institutional structures showed that capital structure does not affect the enterprise value. On the other hand, other studies revealed that the changes in the market affected the enterprises’ finance structure and their finance preferences. In this study, the factors that determine the structure of the tourism enterprises are studied in an environment where market deficiencies abound. The study also looks at the changes that are caused by these factors especially during the crisis of during crisis period of 1998 – 2006.

We construct potentially cosmologically relevant solutions using gradient flow for the first time and present the strongest evidence to date that they are stable to axial and, more importantly, non-axial perturbations. More importantly, we illustrate quantitative agreement with semi-analytic predictions based on the thin string approximation which validates worldsheet action approaches to their formation and evolution.

Year: 2012

description: Today the role of cultural heritage in the process of creation of the images of national identity becomes the sphere of intent research interest. In the focus of this interest there are the following matters: participation of tourists in the processes of globalization and cultural exchange. Touristic world is structured according to aesthetic criteria. In the pictures of the artists of the XIX century who took off to travel down Volga, to observe and to work in the open air we can trace artistic evolution of landscape painting. The largest European river is a spatial object regularly recalled in academic and artistic discourses, which is also scenery and a place of observation for many generations of aborigines and tourists. Volga River serves a certain highlighter of construction of national identity, symbolizes historical succession of cultural heritage, is a culturalaesthetic topos of tourism and travelling filled with personal images.

Measuring Cosmic Elements with Gamma-Ray Telescopes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gamma-ray telescopes are capable of measuring radioactive trace isotopes from cosmic nucleosynthesis events. Such measurements address new isotope production rather directly for a few key isotopes such as 44Ti, 26Al, 60Fe, and 56Ni, as well as positrons from the beta^+-decay variety. Experiments of the past decades have now established an astronomy with gamma-ray lines, which is an important part of the study of nucleosynthesis environments in cosmic sources. For massive stars and supernovae, important constraints have been set: Co isotope decays in SN1987A directly demonstrated the synthesis of new isotopes in core-collapse supernovae, 44Ti from the 340-year old Cas A supernova supports the concept of alpha-rich freeze-out, but results in interesting puzzles pursued by theoretical studies and future experiments. 26Al and 60Fe has been measured from superimposed nucleosynthesis within our Galaxy, and sets constraints on massive-star interior structure through its intensity ratio of ~15%. The 26Al gamma-ray line is now seen to trace current star formation and even the kinematics of interstellar medium throughout the Galaxy. Positron annihilation emission from nucleosynthesis throughout the plane of our Galaxy appears to be mainly from 26Al and other supernova radioactivity, but the striking brightness of the Galaxy's bulge region in positron annihilation gamma-rays presents a puzzle involving several astrophysics issues beyond nuclear astrophysics. This paper focuses mainly on a discussion of 26Al and 60Fe from massive star nucleosynthesis.

Neutrino Oscillation Probability from Tri-Bimaximality due to Planck Scale Effects

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Current neutrino experimental data on neutrino mixing are well describes by Tri-bi-maximal mixing, which is predicts sin^{2}θ_{12}=1/3,zero U_{e3} and θ_{23}=45^{o}. We consider the planck scale operator on neutrino mixing. We assume that the neutrino masses and mixing arise through physics at a scale intrimediate between planck scale and the electroweak braking scale. We also assume, that just above the electroweak breaking scale neutrino mass are nearly degenerate and the mixing is tri-bi-maximal. Quantum gravity (Planck scale) effects lead to an effective SU(2)_{L}\times U(1) invariant dimension-5 Lagrangian symmetry involving Standard Model. On electroweak symmetry breaking, this operator gives rise to correction to the neutrino masses and mixings these additional terms can be considered as perturbation to the tri-bimaximal neutrino mass matrix. We compute the deviation of the three mixing angles and oscillation probability. We find that the only large change in solar mixing angle and % change in maximum P_{μe} is about 10%.

Year: 2012

description: Mountains occupy approximately one/fifth of the total surface of the earth and have been progressively transformed into important tourist destinations. Many developed countries have traced and implemented remarkable state interventions to promote tourism development in their mountain areas. State planning, fundamentally, intervenes in a compensating and balancing way, creating the necessary terms and conditions for the smooth formation of the necessary tourist capital at national, regional and local level. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the state tourism policy in selected mountain prefectures of Greece (Ioannina, Evritania and Kastoria), according to the mountain zone typology used by UNEPWCMC. The evaluation of the three entirely mountain prefectures according to selected aspects of the tourism policy implemented and the hotel evolutionary geographical distribution highlights a policy gap as regards tourism development in the Greek mountain areas; such tourism development has been progressively incorporated in the general regionalisation policy adopted of Greek tourism.

Temperature dependence of near-field radiative heat transfer above room temperature

description: Stefan-Boltzmann's law indicates that far-field blackbody radiation scales at the fourth power of temperature. The temperature dependence of radiative heat transfer in the near field is expected to be very different due to the contribution of evanescent waves. In this work, we experimentally observe such deviation on the radiative thermal conductance by bringing a hot micrometric sphere in the nearfield of a room-temperature planar substrate, down to a separation distance of few tens of nanometers. The influence of materials is assessed by using either SiO2 or graphite spheres, and SiO2, graphite and InSb substrates. Temperature differences as large as 900 K are imposed. A maximum near-field radiative thermal conductance of about 70 nW.K-1 is found for a graphite-graphite configuration. The experimental results demonstrate that the temperature exponent weakens in the near field, ranging from 2.2 to 4.1, depending on the gap distance and the materials. These results have broad consequences, in particular on the design of high-temperature nanoscale radiative energy devices.
FINANCIALS MENU AT EUROPEAN RESTAURANTS

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2012

description: This paper highlights the main profiles of SME’s (small and medium enterprises) financial structures, focusing particularly on hospitality and tourism. A sample of European hotels and restaurants is empirically investigated. Financial and accounting statements are analysed through comparisons between several European countries. Tourism is known to experience two different management issues: real estate and industry-specific management. Although they are very similar, tourism property management is strongly related to seasonality. The business cycle impact on financial structure is significant, and so does the effect on risk. Therefore, this research also investigates both short and long-term financing. The former needs specific control of cash inflows and outflows. It is necessary to deal with specific financial needs to set up specialized financing facilities. Seasonality also impacts on the financing cycle. Operation management is smoothed during overloaded periods by using various strategies. Additionally, cash flow management benefits from better financial forecasts.

description: The impact of surface roughness on conductive heat transfer across nanoscale contacts is investigated by means of scanning thermal microscopy. Silicon surfaces with out-of-plane rms roughness of ~0, 0.5, 4, 7 and 11 nm are scanned both under air and vacuum conditions. Three types of resistive SThM probes spanning curvature radii over orders of magnitude are used. A correlation between thermal conductance and adhesion force is highlighted. In comparison with a flat surface, the contact thermal conductance can decrease as much as 90% for a microprobe and by about 50% for probes with curvature radius lower than 50 nm. The effects of multi-contact and ballistic heat conduction are discussed. Limits of contact techniques for thermal conductivity characterization are also discussed.

description: We consider the detection of correlated information sources in the ubiquitous Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) scheme. We propose a message-passing based scheme for detecting correlated sources directly, with no need for source coding. The detection is done simultaneously over a block of transmitted binary symbols (word). Simulation results are provided demonstrating a substantial improvement in bit-error-rate in comparison with the unmodified detector and the alternative of source compression. The robustness of the error-performance improvement is shown under practical model settings, including wrong estimation of the generating Markov transition matrix and finite-length spreading codes.

Studies on tumour antigens associated with human bronchogenic carcinomata
Creators: name: Watson, Robert Dale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Bronchogenic carcinomata of various pathologies were obtained either at post-mortem or post surgically for the purpose of this study. Normal lung tissue as control material was obtained from individuals who died-from non-malignant causes. Antigenic materials were extracted from both normal and tumour tissue with 3.0 M KCl in order to determine whether bronchogenic tumours contained either tumour specific transplantation antigens (TSTA -cell surface antigens recognized as non-self by the host immune system) or tumour associated antigens (TAA - components not found in normal tissue which may or may not be antigenic in the host but which are antigenic in a heterologous species). Attempts to identify tumour associated antigens by direct chemical comparisons between normal and tumour extracts were made using disc gel electrophoresis in conjunction with ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography of the extracts. A tumour associated antigen was detected in this way but it was not found in other tumour extracts and therefore its significance was limited. Autoradiographic studies using sections of tumour or normal lung, patients' or normal sera, and ¹²⁵I-labelled anti-human Ig indicated that patients with bronchogenic carcinoma may produce antibodies reactive with their own and other tumours. Skin test reactions to fractions of homologous tumour extract also suggested that patients may react to tumour antigens, but neither of these methods were found to be suitable as an assay for tumour antigens. Efforts to raise antisera against tumour antigens by rendering rabbits neonatally tolerant to normal lung antigens followed by immunization with tumour extract proved unsuccessful. Greater success was obtained by hyperimmunizing rabbits to tumour extracts and passing resultant antisera through solid immunoadsorbents of normal lung extracts. The absorbed antisera, in many instances, reacted specifically with antigens in tumour extracts. Broad studies using immunodiffusion with absorbed antisera and a panel of tumour extracts indicated that bronchogenic carcinomata may contain at least two tumour associated antigens which cross-react widely. One of these antigens appeared to share properties with an antigen in foetal lung extracts, but was neither carcinoembryonic antigen nor α₁-foetoprotein. When summarized, the results suggested that some TAA were associated with tumour pathology and possibly aetiology; squamous cell, oat cell and anaplastic carcinomas (carcinogen induced) appeared to contain related TAA which were distinguished from TAA in adenocarcinomas and alveolar cell carcinomas (not known to be associated with carcinogens).

description: We analyzed the Subaru/Suprime-Cam images of 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3B and detected no fewer than 154 mini-comets. We applied synchrone-syndyne analysis, modified for rocket effect analysis, to the mini-fragment spatial distribution. We found that most of these mini-comets were ejected from fragment B by an outburst occurring around 1 April 2006. The ratio of the rocket force to solar gravity was 7 to 23 times larger than that exerted on fragment B. No significant color variation was found. We examined the surface brightness profiles of all detected fragments and estimated the sizes of 154 fragments. We found that the radius of these mini-fragments was in the 5- to 108-m range (equivalent size of Tunguska impactor). The power-law index of the differential size distribution was q = -3.34 +/- 0.05. Based on this size distribution, we found that about 1-10% of the mass of fragment B was lost in the April 2006 outbursts. Modeling the cometary fragment dynamics revealed that it is likely that mini-fragments smaller than ~10-20 m could be depleted in water ice and become inactive, implying that decameter-sized comet fragments could survive against melting and remain as near-Earth objects. We attempted to detect the dust trail, which was clearly found in infrared wavelengths by Spitzer. No brightness enhancement brighter than 30.0 mag arcsec^-2 (3sigma) was detected in the orbit of fragment B.

description: Abstract

The study aims to analyse the impact of personality traits on work outcomes of officers working at the Administrative units of the Hanoi People’s Committee in Vietnam. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data from 455 officers at the Administrative units. Collected data were analysed by using structural equation model (SEM) to evaluate the impact of personality traits on work outcomes including job satisfaction, organisational commitment and intention to stay. The results revealed that a positive relationship between the Big Five personality traits with organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and intention to stay. Furthermore, job satisfaction and organisational commitment are positively correlated with intention to stay in an organisation of officers at Hanoi People’s Committee. The result of the study suggested some significant implications for the Administrative units of the Hanoi People’s Committee to increase organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and upgrade intention to stay of officers in the coming time.

description: This paper presents some reflections on the need to contribute to the construction of alternative paradigms for the relationship between tourism, local development and sustainability. These paradigms need to be constructed from an environmental perspective that integrates natural and cultural (social, political and economic) factors rather than analyzing them separately. The paper also exposes the need to include different sectors of society, communities and regions that have so far remained relegated, via community participation, preservation of the environmental, cultures, local identity and autonomy, and diversification of economic activities. Finally the paper presents four categories of analysis that incorporate the principles of sustainable development and responsible tourism: the hommoecosystem, rational-intuitive use, harmonious and ethical tourism, and integrative participatory planning.

description: Solar filaments exist as stable structures for extended periods of time before many of them form the core of a CME. We examine the properties of an erupting filament on 2017 May 29--30 with high-resolution He I 10830 A and Halpha spectra from the Dunn Solar Telescope, full-disk Dopplergrams of He I 10830 A from the Chromospheric Telescope, and EUV and coronograph data from SDO and STEREO. Pre-eruption line-of-sight velocities from an inversion of He I with the HAZEL code exhibit coherent patches of 5 Mm extent that indicate counter-streaming and/or buoyant behavior. During the eruption, individual, aligned threads appear in the He I velocity maps. The distribution of velocities evolves from Gaussian to strongly asymmetric. The maximal optical depth of He I 10830 A decreased from tau = 1.75 to 0.25, the temperature increased by 13 kK, and the average speed and width of the filament increased from 0 to 25 km s-1 and 10 to 20 Mm, respectively. All data sources agree that the filament rose with an exponential acceleration reaching 7.4 m s-2 that increased to a final velocity of 430 km s-1 at 22:24 UT; a CME was associated with this filament eruption. The properties during the eruption favor a kink/torus instability, which requires the existence of a flux rope. We conclude that full-disk chromospheric Dopplergrams can be used to trace the initial phase of on-disk filament eruptions in real-time, which might potentially be useful for modelling the source of any subsequent CMEs.

description: Abstract In natural language processing, languages have a number of ambiguous words and solving such kind of problem for the language can help the development of word sense disambiguation using corpus­based Approach. Due to the absence of automatic word sense disambiguation to the language can be a challenge for the development of natural language processing applications of the language. So, this study was to design a word sense disambiguation prototype model for Geez Language words using Corpus-Based technique to extract training sets that minimize the quantity of the desired human intervention. because of the inaccessibility of the Geez wordNet and annotated datasets, six words were Chosen.These words were ሀለፈ(Halafe), ቆመ(ḱome), ባረከ(bareke), አስተርዓየ(astaraya), ገብረ(gebire), ሰዓለ(Se’ale).Separate information sets victimization six ambiguous words were ready for the event of this Geez WSD model. the ultimate classification task was done on the absolutely labeled coaching set victimization Adaboost, SMO, and AD tree classification algorithms on the WEKA package.We compared the Corpus-­based machine learning approachs which are unsupervised, supervised and semi-supervised and we found that semi­-supervised machine learning approach achieved the best performance. The proposed method achieved an average performance of 92.1%, 91.3%, 91% and 91.1% for Precision, Recall, F1­-score and Accuracy using ADTree algorithm respectively. Window size of 4-­4 has been the optimal window size to identify the meaning of the selected ambiguous words of Geez language using ADTree algorithm.

The research focus on some dynamics observable in Lanzarote (Spain), where different aspects and impacts of tourism development are identified and analyzed to demonstrate the existence of external costs. The ascertainment of external costs in Lanzarote leads the research to examine the theory of the “rent capture” as Hartwick proposes to reach some conclusions as the use of tax revenues for the enlargement of the carrying capacity of physical facilities or the funding of research for improving destination management strategies. The originality of this article is to delve into the theoretical justification for the implementation of a taxation mechanism at tourism destinations.

description: The possible existence of compact stars made of absolutely stable strange quark matter--referred to as strange stars--was pointed out by E. Witten almost a quarter of a century ago. One of the most amazing features of such objects concerns the possible existence of ultra-strong electric fields on their surfaces, which, for ordinary strange matter, is around $10^{18}$ V/cm. If strange matter forms a color superconductor, as expected for such matter, the strength of the electric field may increase to values that exceed $10^{19}$ V/cm. The energy density associated with such huge electric fields is on the same order of magnitude as the energy density of strange matter itself, which, as shown in this paper, alters the masses and radii of strange quark stars at the 15% and 5% level, respectively. Such mass increases facilitate the interpretation of massive compact stars, with masses of around $2 M_\odot$, as strange quark stars.

description: Despite development of transformative learning theory entering its fourth decade, little research exists that investigates the occurrence of this phenomenon on professional psychology training programmes. This study focused on the experiences of transformative learning of Clinical Psychology trainees, from an embodied perspective. A qualitative design was employed to explore this topic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted remotely with seven participants from DClinPsy courses across the country. The interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three super-ordinate themes were created: Recognising practices that transform; Appreciating different ways of knowing; Listening to own voice. The six sub-ordinate themes captured the prominence of relationships for facilitating growth, how participants shifted their stance towards emotional discomfort, reached a deeper understanding of themselves, and created new meaning through their embodied experience. As a result of their learning, participants deepened their understanding of power and oppression. Strengths and limitations in terms of methodological considerations were discussed. Implications for practice included: the importance of safety in the training environment, implementing transformative learning pedagogical techniques, and curriculum renewal with a focus on race awareness. Suggestions for future research included employing different methodological designs and focusing on trainers and supervisors’ experiences and beliefs about facilitating transformative learning.

description: The goal of this study is to examine the supply side hypothesis of tourism demand, that is, to answer the question: Does economic growth in Barbados spur tourism growth. Results suggest that there is a long-run relationship between real GDP in Barbados and tourist arrivals. Specifically, we find that a 1% expansion in real GDP is associated with a 1.2% increase in tourist arrivals. Further, our Granger causality test suggests that the supply-side hypothesis is valid for Barbados.

description: The paper examines the factors influencing visitors’ preferences in the mountainous area of Nafpaktia, Greece and the implications for an advertising communication programme. The study is a survey and 500 respondents filled in a questionnaire. It describes visitors’ characteristics, the research and the estimation of the number of visitors of the area, the description of the reasons of visiting the area, the duration of their stay and the research and analysis of their needs and expectations. The empirical work succeeds in making a theoretical and practical contribution to the way sustainable development presented for Nafpaktia, Greece can consist of a typical recourse for mountainous disadvantageous areas of the Mediterranean. Tourism management in mountainous regions may concentrate on the ways of attracting the visitors and mainly on accessibility, tourism infrastructure, preservation of natural beauty contrary to the hypothesis made that informative advertising promotional material locally, nationally and internationally is a necessity.

description: Research suggests that in the United Kingdom (UK), there are over two million children living with a parent experiencing mental health difficulties (MHD). There is a growing body of literature focusing on the experiences and impact on these children, finding that the majority can often experience troubling emotions, and psycho-social difficulties which go unnoticed by health and social care services, leading to difficulties remaining with individuals into adulthood. To date, studies have neglected to explore the impact culture can have on family members, and therefore the aim of this study was to gain a richer understanding of the lived experiences from adult-children identifying as being from an Indian heritage, and who have grown up around parental MHD. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven individuals (four females, and three males) living in the UK, aged 34 to 54 years old, who had grown up with a parent with MHD. Transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis where five master themes were co-constructed describing participants’ experiences; ‘Making sense with a lack of knowledge’, ‘Managing stigmatised silence’, ‘Recognising the internal and external void’, ‘Feeling distant yet accountable’, and ‘Gaining positives from parental mental health difficulties’. The data is discussed in consideration of theory and literature, finding similarities with existing research, and also factors unique to this population. Given the findings from this study, clinical implications are explored, notably, emphasising the need for a whole family approach to interventions, and for services to be more culturally sensitive and relevant to the needs of populations underrepresented in service utilisation. Suggestions for further research are made, in a hope to add to the paucity of literature in the field of parental mental health and culture, and create change.

description: Foodservice operators are being mandated to provide nutritional information (NI) on their menus to enable diners to make informed choices. However, there is little research on who would utilize NI on menus. This study utilizes Cluster Analysis to segment and profile diners at full-service restaurants that need, and would utilize NI on menus in full-service restaurants in the USA. Cluster Analysis identified two distinct segments - Health Cognizants and Fast-Lane Foodies. The Health Cognizant segment, has positive attitudes towards NI, feels the need for NI, and would utilize it to make dining decisions. They tend to be females, those aged 35 to 65, and those belonging to the higher income and college educated strata. This segment already practices a healthy lifestyle and employs various healthful strategies while making dining decisions. The Fast-Lane Foodies are not particularly concerned about NI on menus. Implications are provided.

description: Energy landscapes provide a conceptual framework for structure prediction, and a detailed understanding of their topological features is necessary to develop efficient methods for their exploration. The ability to visualise these surfaces is essential, but the high dimensionality of the corresponding configuration spaces makes this difficult. Here we present Stochastic Hyperspace Embedding and Projection (SHEAP), a method for energy landscape visualisation inspired by state-of-the-art algorithms for dimensionality reduction through manifold learning, such as t-SNE and UMAP. The performance of SHEAP is demonstrated through its application to the energy landscapes of Lennard-Jones clusters, solid-state carbon, and the quaternary system C+H+N+O. It produces meaningful and interpretable low-dimensional representations of these landscapes, reproducing well known topological features such as funnels, and providing fresh insight into their layouts. In particular, an intrinsic low dimensionality in the distribution of local minima across configuration space is revealed.

description: Brand image is a prominent marketing tool for destination marketers. A strong brand image implies having an upper-hand over competitors and thus preventing tourists from shifting their purchase intentions to other destinations. This paper examines the brand image attributes of a small island developing state. It also determines the gap between tourists’ expected and perceived brand image attributes. The study uses a focus group to guide the design of the questionnaire. Using factor analysis, the results indicate that the attributes performances exceed expectations, reinforcing the positive brand image of Mauritius. It is also found that the destination’s attractiveness, up-market products, tourist attractions and the tropical setting were among the key factors in determining the brand image of the destination. The study also suggests that over-promising promotional campaigns may affect the brand image of small island developing destinations.
