title: A Structural Model of Satisfaction and Brand Attitude in Hotels
Creators: name: Wilkins, Hugh Charles
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Customer satisfaction
subject: hotel management
subject: accommodation industry
subject: hospitality industry
subject: brand attitude

description: This thesis is about the customer experience in hotels. The thesis evaluates the customer experience in relation to the antecedents of behavioural loyalty. Behavioural loyalty is evaluated in relation to customer satisfaction, brand trust and brand attitude. Customer satisfaction is also evaluated in relation to the antecedents of hotel performance, service quality and perceived value. The broad research underpinning this research is: How do consumers perceive and relate to luxury and first class hotel brands? The hotel industry is a large and highly diverse industry that includes a wide range of property styles, uses and qualities (Chon & Sparrowe, 2000; Go & Pine, 1995; Olsen, 1996; Powers & Barrows, 1999). The industry covers the spectrum of small, medium and large enterprises (Brotherton, 2003; Jones, 2002) and makes a significant contribution to national and international economies. The research incorporated data collection in three stages. The first stage was a qualitative study of consumers who self selected as first class or luxury consumers. The data from the focus groups were used to develop items for inclusion in a survey instrument. The focus groups data, together with information gathered from a literature review, were used to develop scales across a number of hotel performance dimensions. In addition scales were included in the survey instrument on customer satisfaction, perceived value, brand trust, brand attitude and behavioural loyalty. The second stage of the research was a pilot study with the survey instrument being distributed to a convenience sample. The data collected at this stage were used to purify and refine the survey instrument. The final stage was data collected from consumers in a number of Australian hotels. The resultant data set comprised 693 completed and useable responses. The data were examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to confirm the hotel performance and other dimensions. The resultant dimensions showed good psychometric properties. A number of hypotheses were proposed in the thesis and examined using structural equation modelling. Although two hypotheses were rejected the resultant structural model showed strong relationships between the dimensions included. The research identified that service quality is a strong contributor to behavioural loyalty. The stronger pathway from service quality to behavioural loyalty was through customer satisfaction ( = 0.63) although the pathway through brand attitude ( = 0.22) was also significant. Both customer satisfaction and service quality had a significant effect on brand trust and service quality also influenced brand attitude. A number of recommendations for further research were made. These included the replication of this study in different geographic and industry contexts.
Analytical model for gravitational-wave echoes from spinning remnants

description: Gravitational-wave echoes in the post-merger signal of a binary coalescence are predicted in various scenarios, including near-horizon quantum structures, exotic states of matter in ultracompact stars, and certain deviations from general relativity. The amplitude and frequency of each echo is modulated by the photon-sphere barrier of the remnant, which acts as a spin- and frequency-dependent high-pass filter, decreasing the frequency content of each subsequent echo. Furthermore, a major fraction of the energy of the echo signal is contained in low-frequency resonances corresponding to the quasi-normal modes of the remnant. Motivated by these features, in this work we provide an analytical gravitational-wave template in the low-frequency approximation describing the post-merger ringdown and the echo signal of a spinning ultracompact object. Besides the standard ringdown parameters, the template is parametrized in terms of only two physical quantities: the reflectivity coefficient and the compactness of the remnant. We discuss novel effects related to the spin and to the complex reflectivity, such as a more involved modulation of subsequent echoes, the mixing of two polarizations, and the ergoregion instability in case of perfectly-reflecting spinning remnants. Finally, we compute the errors in the estimation of the template parameters with current and future gravitational-wave detectors using a Fisher matrix framework. Our analysis suggests that models with almost perfect reflectivity can be excluded/detected with current instruments, whereas probing values of the reflectivity smaller than $80\%$ at $3σ$ confidence level requires future detectors (Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, LISA). The template developed in this work can be easily implemented to perform a matched-filter based search for echoes and to constrain models of exotic compact objects.

A feasible quantum optical experiment capable of refuting noncontextuality for single photons

description: Elaborating on a previous work by Simon et al. [PRL 85, 1783 (2000)] we propose a realizable quantum optical single-photon experiment using standard present day technology, capable of discriminating maximally between the predictions of quantum mechanics (QM) and noncontextual hidden variable theories (NCHV). Quantum mechanics predicts a gross violation (up to a factor of 2) of the noncontextual Bell-like inequality associated with the proposed experiment. An actual maximal violation of this inequality would demonstrate (modulo fair sampling) an all-or-nothing type contradiction between QM and NCHV.

description: Background and purpose — Differences in stress distribution in a mobile-bearing and fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) design might lead to a difference in fixation of the tibial component. We compared tibial component migration of a mobile-bearing (MB) UKA and a fixed-bearing (FB) UKA using radiostereometric analysis. Patients and methods — In a randomized, patient-blinded clinical trial 62 patients received either the MB Oxford UKA or the FB Sigma UKA. The patients were followed for 24 months with radiostereometric analysis. Clinical outcome was assessed with Oxford Knee Score (OKS), RAND-36 and leg extension power. Results — Migration of the tibial components was similar between groups throughout follow-up. At 12 months, MTPM of the tibial component was 0.44 mm (95% CI 0.34–0.55) for the MB group and 0.40 mm (CI 0.31–0.50) for the FB group. Between 12 and 24 months, the tibial components migrated with a median MTPM increase of 0.03 mm (CI –0.02 to 0.08) in the MB group and 0.03 mm (CI –0.02 to 0.07) in the FB group. Continuous migration of the tibial component was found for 1 MB UKA and 2 FB UKAs. Both groups showed similar and clinically relevant improvement in clinical outcome. Interpretation — MB and FB tibial components had similar good fixation and clinical improvement until 2 years. Based on this study, a low 5- to 10-year revision rate can be expected for both implants. Trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03434600.

 T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype: Irkutsk Area: Angarskiy distr., Angarsk, environs of Elovskoe water reservoire, 8.VII.2009, in Daedaleopsis tricolor (BULL.) BOND. & Sing., leg. I. Enushchenko (ZMUC).
D e s c r i p t i o n: Measurements of the holotype: LA: 0.601; LH: 0.171; WH: 0.314; LE: 0,086; LT: 0,057; WP: 0.357; LP: 0.228; LEl: 0.285; WE: 0.471; WA: 0.428; LAed: 0.285; TL: 1.285.
Body unicoloured, dark-brown; legs, antennae and mouthparts yellowish-brown. Head moderately transverse, with irregular and indistinct punctation, with weak microsculpture between punctures. Eyes large, 1.5 times longer than temples. Antenna as in Fig. 1; antennomere I and II with the same width; antennomere III 3 times narrower than II and IV; antennomere IV weakly transverse; antennomeres V-VIII with the same proportions; antennomere X as long as wide. Length/width of antennomeres are: I: 0.09 × 0.03; II: 0.06 × 0.03; III: 0.04 × 0.01; IV: 0.04 × 0.03; V-VIII: 0.04 × 0.04; IX: 0.06 × 0.04; X: 0.06 × 0.06; XI: 0.09 × 0.06. Pronotum 1,56 times as wide as long; with indistinct microsculpture and small punctures scattered elsewhere. Elytra with fine and sparse punctures, with indistinct microsculpture.
Male. Aedeagus as in Fig. 2. Posterior margin of tergite VIII (Fig.3) with four thin lateral teeth, medial pair significantly shorter.
Female unknown.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Based on body size, colour, arrangement of pronotal punctures and elytral microsculpture, Gyrophaena aedugena is similar to G. manca, from which it can be distinguished by the shapes of antennal segments (4 th segment elongate not transverse and 5-9 segments less transverse as in G. manca), shape of tergite VIII and the different shape and structure of the aedeagus.
 C o m m e n t: Based on the structure of the aedeagus, the new species belongs to the coniciventris species group, which was defined by SEEVERS (1951: 697); species of this group are distributed in North America except for the Palaearctic G. manca.
E t y m o l o g y: The species name (Lat., pers.) is derived from Aedugen (=Otugen), the name of the goddess of the Earth of Alarian Buryat`s.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Known only from the type locality.
 B i o n o m i c s The holotype was collected from Daedaleopsis tricolor (BULL.) BOND. & SING.

description: We develop a theoretical framework to study the feed-down effect of higher-lying strange baryons on the spin polarization of the $Λ$ hyperon. In this framework, we consider two-body decays through strong, electromagnetic, and weak processes and derive general formulas for the angular distribution and spin polarization of the daughter particle by adopting the helicity formalism. Using the realistic experimental data as input, we explore the feed-down contribution to the global and the local $Λ$ polarizations and find that such a contribution suppresses the primordial $Λ$ polarization, which is not strong enough to resolve the discrepancy between the current theoretical and the experimental results on the azimuthal-angle dependence of $Λ$ polarization. Our paper may also be useful for the measurement of spin polarization of baryons heavier than $Λ$ (e.g., $Ξ^-$) in future experiments.

description: Objective: To determine the correlation of Glasgow coma scale with Computed Tomography (CT) in patients of intra-cranial injuries. Material and methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytical study with a sample size of 138 patients. Sampling techniques were non-probability convenient sampling. The study was performed in the Department of Radiology in Lahore General Hospital. The study was finished in 3 months after approval of synopsis. Ultrasound was performed with a convex transducer of 3.5 - 5MHz frequency. Outcome variables are Prostate volume and post-micturition residual (PMR). The data collection sheet was used to record observed data, and individual patient personal data will not be published. Sections were taken parallel to the canthomeatal. CT machine: Toshiba Scanner Aquilion 16 SLICE, model no: TSX-101A, model no: CGGT-018A, slice thickness: 5-7mm, gap b/w slices: 5mm, window width: 1600, window length: +350, kV: 120, mA: 200, pitch: 5. Result: Total 138 patients were enrolled in the study, in which 54 (39.1%) were females, and 84(69.9%) were males with a mean age of 37 years with a range of 4-85 ± 16.28 years. The present study was conducted for a period of two years in the Department of radiology with association from Department of Emergency medicine and included 138 patients with a history of intra-cranial injuries. The cases were referred from the Emergency unit after clinical and neurological systemic examination and calculating the GCS score. The score was blinded for the radiologist examining the case for avoiding bias in reporting. Conclusion: To conclude from our study, patients with low GCS score were considered as a severity risk factor in association with more intra-cranial injuries CT findings. Patients with low GCS score are affected by severe morbidity and devastating effects as observed from other studies.

description: This project investigates the aural and musicianship skills of students enrolled in a Bachelor of Jazz Studies Course, with the ultimate goal of improving their improvisation skills. At the core of the project is the idea that students consolidate their theoretical knowledge and link it with their aural skills when they use their voices in an ensemble, rather than relying on their instrumental skills. Participating students were surveyed to gain insight into their thoughts about the effect that the musicianship skills gained during class had on their improvisation skills. Data has been gathered regarding methods of ear training in current use in various jazz schools in Australia as well as surveying current theories of the importance of ear training in jazz education and the extant modes of delivery. Throughout the project repertoire was arranged especially for each group in accordance with the desired learning outcomes. The final result of the project is a syllabus for conducting the course, which is known as A Cappella Ear Training, including excerpts from the author’s arrangements and instructions for delivering the course content.

description: We use a classical analytical and separable elastic energy landscape describing SnO monolayers to estimate the softening of elastic moduli through a mechanical instability occurring at finite temperature in this material. Although not strictly applicable to this material due to its low energy barrier $J$ that leads to a quantum paraelastic phase, the present exercise is relevant as it establishes a conceptual procedure to estimate such moduli straight from a two-dimensional elastic energy landscape. As additional support for the existence of a quantum paraelastic phase, we carry a qualitative WKB analysis to estimate escape times from an individual well on the landscape; escape times increase exponentially with the height of the barrier $J$. We also provide arguments against an additional transformation onto a planar lattice due to its high energy cost. These results continue to establish a case for the usefulness of soft matter concepts in two-dimensional materials, and of the potential lurking of quantum effects into soft matter.

Subjects: subject: Work-family conflict

subject: Work-life balance

description: Work - life balance research has generated substantial interest for researchers and applied business professionals over the past two decades. Work - life balance can no longer be considered a personal choice for individuals; it is also a human resource management tool used to attract, motivate, and retain highly skilled employees. Most research investigating work - life balance has tended to focus on the negative aspects of combining work and non - work domains, rather than focusing on how work and non - work roles can be mutually beneficial. This research shifts the focus from the scarcity perspective (that balancing multiple roles inevitably leads to inter - role conflict as demands for time and energy compete for limited resources) to the enhancemen t perspective, which suggests that engaging in multiple roles can be energising, provide more opportunities to the individual, and increase well - being.

description: We study theoretically the phonon-induced relaxation and decoherence processes in the hybrid qubit in silicon. Hybrid qubit behaves as a charge qubit when the detuning is close to zero and as spin qubit for large detuning values. It is realized starting from an electrostatically defined double quantum dot where three electrons are confined and manipulated through only electrical tuning. By employing a three-level effective model for the qubit and describing the environment bath as a series of harmonic oscillators in the thermal equilibrium states, we extract the relaxation and decoherence times as a function of the bath spectral density and of the bath temperature using the Bloch-Redfield theory. For Si quantum dots the energy dispersion is strongly affected by the physics of the valley, i.e. the conduction band minima, so we also included the contribution of the valley excitations in our analysis. Our results offer fundamental information on the system decoherence properties when the unavoidable interaction with the environment is included and temperature effects are considered.

description: L’ascension fulgurante de TikTok, développé par Bytedance, a attiré l’attention mondiale, soulevant des questions cruciales sur son influence. Face à des préoccupations croissantes, de nombreux gouvernements, dont ceux de la France, de la Belgique, des États-Unis et du Canada, ont restreint l’accès à TikTok sur les appareils officiels, alimentant le débat sur la sécurité des données et les risques de fuite d’informations sensibles.

Au-delà des préoccupations de sécurité nationale et de son lien avec la Chine, TikTok inquiète par son impact chez les jeunes utilisateurs, le manque de transparence sur les données récoltées et le fonctionnement de ses algorithmes ainsi que sa modération de contenu et de désinformation. Paradoxalement, malgré ces défis, TikTok demeure une plateforme privilégiée pour le contenu et les campagnes publicitaires de nombreuses entités, y compris celles qui en interdisent l’utilisation à leurs employés. Même le président Joe Biden y a désormais un compte et y fera campagne.

Notre intervention explorera ces dynamiques complexes à travers une analyse de données originales. Nous questionnerons la dualité de TikTok, à la fois vecteur potentiel de désinformation et espace de diffusion de contenus informationnels de qualité, particulièrement dans le contexte canadien et québécois du blocage des nouvelles par Meta.

 Specimens Examined. 3 ♀, Yunnan: Lijiang: Wenbishan.
 Remarks. This species is similar to S. (P.) heyuanus, but obvious differences are the more strongly arched longer side of the terminal segment of maxillary palpi, relatively slender and small pronotal marking, elytron with apical 1/6 brown (incised anteriorly). To have confidence that this is a different species than S. (P.) heyuanus, male specimens are needed with the same elytral color pattern as the three females examined.

description: Background and purpose — Differences in stress distribution in a mobile-bearing and fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) design might lead to a difference in fixation of the tibial component. We compared tibial component migration of a mobile-bearing (MB) UKA and a fixed-bearing (FB) UKA using radiostereometric analysis. Patients and methods — In a randomized, patient-blinded clinical trial 62 patients received either the MB Oxford UKA or the FB Sigma UKA. The patients were followed for 24 months with radiostereometric analysis. Clinical outcome was assessed with Oxford Knee Score (OKS), RAND-36 and leg extension power. Results — Migration of the tibial components was similar between groups throughout follow-up. At 12 months, MTPM of the tibial component was 0.44 mm (95% CI 0.34–0.55) for the MB group and 0.40 mm (CI 0.31–0.50) for the FB group. Between 12 and 24 months, the tibial components migrated with a median MTPM increase of 0.03 mm (CI –0.02 to 0.08) in the MB group and 0.03 mm (CI –0.02 to 0.07) in the FB group. Continuous migration of the tibial component was found for 1 MB UKA and 2 FB UKAs. Both groups showed similar and clinically relevant improvement in clinical outcome. Interpretation — MB and FB tibial components had similar good fixation and clinical improvement until 2 years. Based on this study, a low 5- to 10-year revision rate can be expected for both implants.

description: The rapid degradation of the functional properties of many Ti-based alloys is due to the precipitation of the $ω$ phase. In the conventional high-temperature shape memory alloy Ti-Ta the formation of this phase compromises completely the shape memory effect and high (>100°C) transformation temperatures cannot be mantained during cycling. A solution to this problem is the addition of other elements to form Ti-Ta-X alloys, which often modifies the transformation temperatures; due to the largely unexplored space of possible compositions, very few elements are known to stabilize the shape memory effect without decreasing the transformation temperatures below 100°C. In this study we use transparent descriptors derived from first principles calculations to search for new ternary Ti-Ta-X alloys that combine stability and high temperatures. We suggest four new alloys with these properties, namely Ti-Ta-Sb, Ti-Ta-Bi, Ti-Ta-In, and Ti-Ta-Sc. Our predictions for the most promising of these alloys, Ti-Ta-Sc, are subsequently fully validated by experimental investigations, the new alloy Ti-Ta-Sc showing no traces of $ω$ phase after cycling. Our computational strategy is immediately transferable to other materials and may contribute to suppress $ω$ phase formation in a large class of alloys.

description: We report a proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of quantum lithography. Utilizing the entangled nature of a two-photon state, the experimental results have bettered the classical diffraction limit by a factor of two. This is a quantum mechanical two-photon phenomenon but not a violation of the uncertainty principle.

description: The significance of new physics appearing in the loop-induced decays of neutral Higgs bosons into pairs of dibosons $γγ$ and $Zγ$ will be discussed in the framework of the 3-3-1 models based on a recent work~\cite{Okada:2016whh}, where the Higgs sector becomes effectively the same as that in the two Higgs doublet models (2HDM) after the first symmetry breaking from $SU(3)_L$ scale into the electroweak scale. For large $SU(3)_L$ scale $v_3\simeq10$ TeV, dominant one-loop contributions to the two decay amplitudes arise from only the single charged Higgs boson predicted by the 2HDM, leading to that experimental constraint on the signal strength $μ^{331}_{γγ}$ of the Standard Model-like Higgs boson decay $h\rightarrow γγ$ will result in a strict upper bound on the signal strength $μ^{331}_{Zγ}$ of the decay $h\rightarrow\, Zγ$. For a particular model with lower $v_3$ around 3 TeV, contributions from heavy charged gauge and Higgs bosons may have the same order, therefore may give strong destructive or constructive correlations. As a by-product, a deviation from the SM prediction $|μ^{331}_{γγ}-1| \le 0.04$ still allows $|μ^{331}_{Zγ}-1|$ to reach values near 0.1. We also show that there exists an $CP$-even neutral Higgs boson $h^0_3$ predicted by the 3-3-1 models, but beyond the 2HDM, has an interesting property that the branching ratio Br$(h^0_3\rightarrow γγ)$ is very sensitive to the parameter $β$ used to distinguish different 3-3-1 models.

description: We study the dynamics of M-theory on G2 holonomy manifolds, and consider in detail the manifolds realized as the quotient of the spin bundle over S^3 by discrete groups. We analyse, in particular, the class of quotients where the triality symmetry is broken. We study the structure of the moduli space, construct its defining equations and show that three different types of classical geometries are interpolated smoothly. We derive the N=1 superpotentials of M-theory on the quotients and comment on the membrane instanton physics. Finally, we turn on Wilson lines that break gauge symmetry and discuss some of the implications.

description: Inter-system bias (ISB) will affect accuracy and processing time in integrated precise point positioning (PPP), and ISB stochastic models will largely determine the quality of ISB estimation. Thus, the impacts of four different stochastic models of ISB processing will be assessed and studied in detail to further reveal the influence of ISB in positioning. They are ISB-PW considering ISB as a piece-wise constant, ISB-RW considering ISB as random walk, ISB-AD considering ISB as an arc-dependent constant, and ISB-WN considering ISB as white noise. Together with the model without introducing ISB called ISB-OFF, i.e., five different schemes, ISB-OFF, ISB-PW, ISB-RW, ISB-AD, and ISB-WN, will be designed and tested in this study. From the results of pseudorange residuals, it can be noticed that when considering ISB, the Root-Mean-Square (RMS) of ionosphere-free combined pseudorange residuals are much smaller than without ISB (ISB-OFF). The results of convergence time and positioning accuracy analysis show that PPP performance with ISB-AD is even worse than ISB-OFF, when using the precise products from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) named as GBM products here; while the strategies of ISB-RW, and ISB-WN achieve the best results. For the products from Wuhan University called WUM products, a completely different result is achieved. PPP with the stochastic models of ISB-PW and ISB-AD perform best. The most likely reason is the ISB stochastic models applied by the analysis centers are consistent with those used in the PPP on the user side. So, ISB-RW, or ISB-WN is recommended when GBM products are used, and for the WUM products, ISB-PW, or ISB-AD is chosen. From the statistics of PPP precision during the convergence period, it can be concluded that considering ISB also has a great improvement on combined PPP accuracy during the initialization phase.

description: English is the only compulsory foreign language taught in the public education system in Taiwan. In 2001, the Ministry of Education (MOE) of the Taiwan government put the Grade 1-9 Curriculum in place. This curriculum stipulated that English be implemented in Grades 5-6 and that students in elementary school Grade 3 commenced learning English at the beginning of the 2005 academic year. Based on the general guidelines of the Language Arts within the Grade 1-9 Curriculum, schools and teachers were permitted to select their own textbooks from a select censored collection. This collection included a variety of children’s literature. Since then, the implementation of children’s literature within the regular Language Arts curriculum has grown. In particular, children’s picturebooks have been increasingly acknowledged and implemented in primary language teaching classrooms. This research study is centrally concerned with the way in which the language used in a Western children’s picturebook operates in an EFL classroom in order to achieve particular goal, be it pedagogical, social and/or cultural. Drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics and Ethnomethodology, this research study employs the analytic methods derived from these two methodological perspectives to investigate the nature of teaching practice in an EFL classroom context. One intermediate class of Grand Future Private English School located in Tainan City, Taiwan was selected as the research setting. The participants included the ten primary school students in the nominated class and their two English-teaching teachers, one Chinese English-teaching teacher and one Foreign English-teaching teacher. Yasmin’s Ducks, written in English, was the text taught in the research setting (McGraw-Hill, 2005).

description: Ultrasound, alone or in concert with circulating microbubble contrast agents, has emerged as a promising modality for therapy and imaging of brain diseases. While this has become possible due to advancements in aberration correction methods, a range of applications, including adaptive focusing and tracking of the microbubble dynamics through the human skull, may benefit from even more computationally efficient methods to account for skull aberrations. Here, we derive a general method for the angular spectrum approach (ASA) in a heterogeneous medium, based on a numerical marching scheme to approximate the full implicit solution. We then demonstrate its functionality with simulations for (human) skull-related aberration correction and trans-skull passive acoustic mapping. Our simulations show that the general solution provides accurate trans-skull focusing as compared to the uncorrected case for clinically relevant frequencies, apertures, and targets, with the effects of skull attenuation and amplitude shading included. In the case of source localization, our method leads to an average of 75 % error reduction and 40 to 60 % increase in peak intensity, evaluated over the range of frequencies as compared to the homogeneous medium ASA. Overall, total computation times for both focusing and point source localization of the order milliseconds can be attained with this approach. Collectively our findings indicate that the proposed phase correction method based on the ASA could provide a computationally efficient and accurate method for trans-skull transmit focusing and imaging of point scatterers, potentially opening new possibilities for treatment and diagnosis of brain diseases.

description: We consider several observers who monitor different parts of the environment of a single quantum system and use their data to deduce its state. We derive a set of conditional stochastic master equations that describe the evolution of the density matrices each observer ascribes to the system under the Markov approximation, and show that this problem can be reduced to the case of a single "super-observer", who has access to all the acquired data. The key problem - consistency of the sets of data acquired by different observers - is then reduced to the probability that a given combination of data sets will be ever detected by the "super-observer". The resulting conditional master equations are applied to several physical examples: homodyne detection of phonons in quantum Brownian motion, photo-detection and homodyne detection of resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom. We introduce {\it relative purity} to quantify the correlations between the information about the system gathered by different observers from their measurements of the environment. We find that observers gain the most information about the state of the system and they agree the most about it when they measure the environment observables with eigenstates most closely correlated with the optimally predictable {\it pointer basis} of the system.
