description: In this work, a Carbon Footprint (CF) calculator developed to the tourism sector in Portugal, was validated. The CF calculator self-validation was based on the comparison of the results obtained with two tools available online (Carbon Footprint Ltd-CFL and Climate Care-CC) and with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) performed using the SimaPro PhD software. The calculator is based in the CO2e emissions of 6 components: electricity, water, laundry, fuels, waste and food. These tools were applied to a 3 stars Hotel, located in Viseu region (Portugal) with 50 guests’ rooms and an occupied area of 1500 m2. CF results attained with calculator developed were slightly higher than CFL and lower than CC results, as it has a different emission from electricity component. For LCA two scenarios were considered, Scenario 1 (same assumptions as CF calculator) and Scenario 2 (assumptions based on LCA methodology) a higher emission was obtained of more than 23975.7 kgCO2e/year and 72680 kgCO2e/year, respectively. For both scenarios the difference was caused by electricity consumption and additional by fuel consumption in Scenario 2. The emission factors chosen used for each component were the main responsible for these differences. Self-validation process demonstrated that the CO2e emissions from the different tools were very similar when the same assumptions were considered, so the calculator is consistent.

description: We study special linear systems of surfaces of $\mathbb{P}^3$ interpolating nine points in general position having a quadric as fixed component. By performing degenerations in the blown-up space, we interpret the quadric obstruction in terms of linear obstructions for a quasi-homogeneous class. By degeneration we also prove a Nagata type result for $\mathbb{P}^2$ that implies a base locus lemma for the quadric. As an application we establish Laface-Ugaglia Conjecture for linear systems with multiplicities bounded by 8 and for homogeneous linear systems with multiplicity m and degree up to 2m+1.

Publisher: name: Journal of Tourism & Development
Year: 2022

description: This article portrays the relationship between CBT and entrepreneurship and unpacks them in context where culture and capacity building are important. It develops a model that serves to facilitate entrepreneurship for CBT development taking into account concepts of sustainability and entrepreneurship. This article was written using secondary data sources only from extant literature on community-based tourism, entrepreneurship, innovation and capacity building. It is a conceptual paper. It argues that sustainable development could be a viable pathway for inclusive development in which entrepreneurs innovate in their collective groups or cooperatives. The article suggests that entrepreneurship has no boundaries, does not discriminate and can be practiced anywhere and anytime. To achieve that, the role of institutions is fundamental for capacity building in CBT development of government, Non-governmental organizations, the private sector and universities must prioritize capacity building as a sine qua non for sustainable tourism development. The article posits that within discourses of entrepreneurship, sustainable development and local culture, the university is situated in a reciprocal relationship with CBT ventures and communities to undertake directed and focused capacity building that facilitates CBT development and holistic community development.

description: The development of village tourism based on local potential is increasingly important for economic improvement and community welfare in sustainable development. The objectives of this study were: (1) to analyze the development of a sustainable community-based forest of Oro-Oro Ombo Ecotourism Village; (2); to analyze the effect of the construction of the West Ring Road of Batu City on the development of ecotourism in Oro-Oro Ombo Village; and (3) to examine the problems and challenges in managing sustainable ecotourism in Oro-Oro Ombo Village. This study was quantitative descriptive. Data involved primary data and secondary data. Primary data were collected through observations and interviews. Secondary data were collected from related agencies such as the Central Statistics Agency and the Tourism Office. Data were analyzed using a scoring and single tabulation method and SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis results showed that Oro-Oro Ombo Tourism Village had the potential to grow well as a tourist destination. Oro-Oro Ombo Village was very underdeveloped compared to other areas in Batu. However, it started to grow rapidly, including its tourism sector after the West Ring Road of Batu City was built in 2018. Findings confirmed that cooperation between the State Forest Company (Perhutani), the community, and investors as the Oro-Oro Ombo Tourism Village developer went very well in developing tourism. The challenge is to maintain the sustainability of the forest and the waterfalls (Coban Rais, Coban Putri, and Coban Kaca) in the forests on the slopes of Mount Panderman. Oro-Oro Ombo Tourism Village is in the stable growth strategy stage according to the IFAS and EFAS quadrants, so sustainable tourism development according to the SDG’s (UNWTO) criteria needs to be pursued.

description: We critically examine the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior observed in heavy fermion systems located close to a magnetic instability and suggest a conceptual advance in physics in order to explain its origin. We argue that the treatment of electronic states responsible for magnetism near the Quantum Critical Point (QCP), should not be accomplished within the quantum mechanical formalism; instead they should be treated semi-classically. The observed NFL behavior can be explained within such a scenario. As a sequel we attempt to discuss its consequences for the explanation of high-TC superconductivity observed in Cuprates.

Year: 2022

description: The purpose of this research is to analyze factors influencing the decision making of Muslim Tourists on choosing their tourist destination. The study estimated the model by applying Gravity Model. The general variables influencing tourist demand as well as the specific variables which impact the Muslim Tourist decision making, Global Muslim Tourism Index (GMTI), are included in the model. The research results show that the gross domestic product (GDP) of the origin country, population of origin country, exchange rate, whether they use the same language, sharing of common border, whether they were visa free, have a direct flight, and being ASEAN countries significantly affect increasing the Muslim tourists' demand while the distance between an origin country and a destination country has a negative impact on the number of Muslim tourist arrivals. Additionally, Muslim tourists' requirement variables, which are family friendly destination, number of Muslim visitor arrivals, dining options and assurance, halal friendly accommodation, encourage Muslim tourists to choose the countries as their destinations. The results confirm the Muslim tourists' specic requirements also significantly influence the decision making.

description: In this communication is described a new type of Achromatic phase shifter (APS) suitable for both nulling interferometry and coronagraphy, based on a couple of crossed beamsplitter cubes, well-suited for equipping future spaceborne instruments searching for extra-solar planets located in a habitable zone. We present the general principle of this APS and discuss possible implementations into a nulling coronagraph telescope or into a sparse-aperture interferometer, either of the Fizeau or Michelson type. Expected performance in terms of transmission maps and a preliminary tolerance analysis are also provided. It turns out that the device is cheap, compact, and presents reasonable manufacturing tolerances and costs
description: This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to wrong phase-shifts of the beams transmitted by the semi-reflective cubes. It follows that an achromatic and non polarized null is only achievable with two of the four considered telescopes. A revised paper will be issued soon

description: The ionizing background of cosmic hydrogen is an important probe of the sources and absorbers of ionizing radiation in the post-reionization universe. Previous studies show that the ionization rate should be very sensitive to changes in the source population: as the emissivity rises, absorbers shrink in size, increasing the ionizing mean free path and, hence, the ionizing background. By contrast, observations of the ionizing background find a very flat evolution from z~2-5, before falling precipitously at z~6. We resolve this puzzling discrepancy by pointing out that, at z~2-5, optically thick absorbers are associated with the same collapsed halos that host ionizing sources. Thus, an increasing abundance of galaxies is compensated for by a corresponding increase in the absorber population, which moderates the instability in the ionizing background. However, by z~5-6, gas outside of halos dominates the absorption, the coupling between sources and absorbers is lost, and the ionizing background evolves rapidly. Our halo based model reproduces observations of the ionizing background, its flatness and sudden decline, as well as the redshift evolution of the ionizing mean free path. Our work suggests that, through much of their history, both star formation and photoelectric opacity in the universe track halo growth.

description: The transfer of orbital angular momentum from an optical vortex to an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate changes the vorticity of the condensate. The spatial mismatch between initial and final center-of-mass wavefunctions of the condensate influences significantly the two-photon optical dipole transition between corresponding states. We show that the transition rate depends on the handedness of the optical orbital angular momentum leading to optical manipulation of matter-wave vortices and circular dichroism-like effect. Based on this effect, we propose a method to detect the presence and sign of matter-wave vortex of atomic superfluids. Only a portion of the condensate is used in the proposed detection method leaving the rest in its initial state.

description: A novel approach and methodology is developed to detect and characterize the changes in climate extreme events using Artificial Intelligence. These machine learning techniques, especially neural networks, can process large climate simulation ensembles better than traditional statistical methods. They therefore better assess uncertainties associated with the various projected IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) scenarios and climate assessments, in a Digital Twin environment. The tool will enable end users to perform on-demand what-if scenarios in order to better evaluate the impact of climate change on several real-world applications in specific regions to better adapt and prepare the society.
The resource theory of steering

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an operational framework for Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering as a physical resource. To begin with, we characterize the set of steering non-increasing operations (SNIOs) --i.e., those that do not create steering-- on arbitrary-dimensional bipartite systems composed of a quantum subsystem and a black-box device. Next, we introduce the notion of convex steering monotones as the fundamental axiomatic quantifiers of steering. As a convenient example thereof, we present the relative entropy of steering. In addition, we prove that two previously proposed quantifiers, the steerable weight and the robustness of steering, are also convex steering monotones. To end up with, for minimal-dimensional systems, we establish, on the one hand, necessary and sufficient conditions for pure-state steering conversions under stochastic SNIOs and prove, on the other hand, the non-existence of steering bits, i.e., measure-independent maximally steerable states from which all states can be obtained by means of the free operations. Our findings reveal unexpected aspects of steering and lay foundations for further resource-theory approaches, with potential implications in Bell non-locality.

description: Quantum information processing devices need to be robust and stable against external noise and internal imperfections to ensure correct operation. In a setting of measurement-based quantum computation, we explore how an intelligent agent endowed with a projective simulator can act as controller to adapt measurement directions to an external stray field of unknown magnitude in a fixed direction. We assess the agent's learning behavior in static and time-varying fields and explore composition strategies in the projective simulator to improve the agent's performance. We demonstrate the applicability by correcting for stray fields in a measurement-based algorithm for Grover's search. Thereby, we lay out a path for adaptive controllers based on intelligent agents for quantum information tasks.

description: The purpose of this research is to determine the place and importance of digital reputation management in tourism establishments. In this context, it has been attempted to determine what needs to be done to strengthen the digital reputation of tourism establishments. The interview form technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. In this context, 44 digital marketing agencies cooperating with tourism establishments and 11 hotel establishments were determined. Interviews were done with 11 of the determined agencies, and a participation level of 25\% was achieved. The data obtained from the participants were analyzed with the content analysis method using the MAXQDA analysis program. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the website should be kept up-to-date and monitored by considering the customer satisfaction rates. Also, it is crucial for tourism establishments not to reduce their service quality and select or train their personnel from well-equipped and trained individuals to protect their reputation. Finally, it was stated that during the COVID-19 pandemic process, tourism establishments should pay attention to hygiene conditions in order to remain strong in the market and protect their reputation. Digital reputation cannot be achieved without a good website, a practical customer relationship management approach, and social media management, and tourism establishments need to have a corporate social media account to strengthen their reputation.

Behaviour classification of composite beams in natural fires

Subjects: Fire safety engineering

description: When designing composite beams, it is critical to consider the effect of thermal deformation on the adjacent structure and its stability. It is often difficult to judge the type of destabilising forces a composite beam may induce because of the complexity of heat transfer through a composite section consisting of a steel beam and a concrete slab. This paper generates thousands of data points covering the potential behaviour classes of composite beams. This is done by performing heat transfer analyses on a large selection of composite beam sections under different fire exposures and then using an ab-initio analytical approach to estimate the type of behaviour a given beam would have under a specific type of fire exposure. The findings show that long-spanning composite beams with thin slabs under short-hot fires are likely to generate large tensile forces that pull in adjacent supporting structures. Conversely, short-spanning composite beams with thick slabs, and subject to long-cool fires, are expected to generate compressive forces that push against the adjacent structure. The magnitude of these destabilising forces is massive and ought to be considered from the early conceptual design stage.

description: Από τις αρχές του 21ου αιώνα, ο τομέας της επιστήμης των δεδομένων αναπτύσσεται ολοένα και περισσότερο. Σε αυτή την ανάπτυξη οδήγησε η ύπαρξη μεγάλων όγκων δεδομένων και η ανάγκη για ανάλυσή τους. Η αύξηση των δεδομένων οφείλετε αφενός μεν στην εξέλιξη των ΤΠΕ και από την άλλη στη ραγδαία ανάπτυξη της χρήσης του διαδικτύου και ιδιαίτερα των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης. Οι εξελίξεις αυτές επηρεάζουν τη λειτουργία οργανισμών και επιχειρήσεων, με αποτέλεσμα την ανάγκη για αξιοποίηση των νέων τεχνολογιών και μεθόδων ανάλυσης δεδομένων με στόχο τη βελτίωση της λήψης αποφάσεων. Ένα από τα θέματα με τεράστιο ενδιαφέρον είναι η διερεύνηση και ανάλυση της συμπεριφοράς των καταναλωτών. Αυτή βοηθά τα στελέχη των επιχειρήσεων να λαμβάνουν αποφάσεις σε θέματα ανταγωνισμού.
Στόχος της εργασίας αυτής είναι η ανάπτυξη μιας μεθοδολογίας τμηματοποίησης αγορών μέσω της αξιοποίησης των αποτελεσμάτων αναλύσεων δεδομένων, οι οποίες θα πραγματοποιηθούν με τη βοήθεια διαφόρων μεθόδων από τρεις βασικές κατηγορίες. Στην πρώτη κατηγορία ανήκουν οι μέθοδοι εξόρυξης γνώσης από δεδομένα, όπως για παράδειγμα τα Νευρωνικά Δίκτυα, οι αλγόριθμοι της οικογένειας K-means, ο Dbscan και ο Random Forest. Η επόμενη κατηγορία αναφέρεται στις πολυκριτήριες μεθόδους, στις οποίες περιλαμβάνονται οι Utastar, Utadis, καθώς και η Electre Tri, ενώ στην τελευταία κατηγορία μεθόδων περιλαμβάνονται εκείνες της ανάλυσης κειμένων, όπως η Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Τα προς ανάλυση δεδομένα, θα αποκτηθούν τόσο από τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης, όσο και από το διαδίκτυο.

description: We study two different models of optomechanical systems where a temperature gradient between two radiation baths is exploited for inducing self-sustained coherent oscillations of a mechanical resonator. Viewed from a thermodynamic perspective, such systems represent quantum instances of self-contained thermal machines converting heat into a periodic mechanical motion and thus they can be interpreted as nano-scale analogues of macroscopic piston engines. Our models are potentially suitable for testing fundamental aspects of quantum thermodynamics in the laboratory and for applications in energy efficient nanotechnology.

description: Modern complex drilling systems contain communication nodes like sensors, actuators, and controllers, spread along the lower end of a drill string. Here, temperatures of more than 150 °C and pressure levels up to 200 MPa are present. These environmental conditions and mechanical shocks, are extremely challenging for the reliable use of electronic components. A powerline communication system is designed and evaluated to establish a robust communication channel with low amounts of wiring. This system can operate on highly distorted physical transmission channels by adding redundancy at the sender that can then be used to correct errors at the receiver. In order to synchronize the real-time clocks among different powerline stations, a new preamble extension approach that enables precise time synchronization between multiple bus nodes is added. After design and verification, this system was manufactured in XFAB 180 nm Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology allowing operating temperatures of up to 175 °C. The die size is 5.25 mm × 5.25 mm and contains a complete HomePlug 1.0 communication stack with an environment for boot, interfacing, and debugging. Its data rate reaches 6.1 Mbit/s using the fastest transmission mode and the theoretical maximum of 0.55 Mbit/s in the robust OFDM (ROBO) mode, which is of particular interest for harsh environment applications. After verifying the fabricated die, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for climate chamber evaluation was designed and fitted. Measurements in this chamber carried out a maximum ambient temperature of 190 °C for communication with a minimum self-heating of the die of 20 °C measured at room temperature. In combination, this is 35 °C above the specification of the technology process. The timing synchronization evaluation showed a precision of 55.6 ns over the temperature range from -30 °C to 185 °C, which is as low as 1.5 clock cycles. Power measurements of up to 190 °C have shown an average power consumption increase of only 63μW/K below 150 °C and a maximum increase of 394μW/K above 150 °C. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first high-temperature evaluation of a powerline communication ASIC, which is particularly designed for a drilling system's harsh environment.

description: We prove that a nonzero idempotent is zero-diagonal if and only if it is not a Hilbert-Schmidt perturbation of a projection, along with other useful equivalences. Zero-diagonal operators are those whose diagonal entries are identically zero in some basis. We also prove that any bounded sequence appears as the diagonal of some idempotent operator, thereby providing a characterization of inner products of dual frame pairs in infinite dimensions. Furthermore, we show that any absolutely summable sequence whose sum is a positive integer appears as the diagonal of a finite rank idempotent.

description: Spirometry is the most common type of pulmonary function test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, as well as how easily and fast you can blow the air out of your lungs. Despite the importance of spirometry in diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases, the commercial spirometers that perform these tests can be expensive and not accessible to everyone. Our open source spirometer (Spir-O) utilizes readily available electronic components and sensors, which can be easily assembled and calibrated. We believe that this project can help make spirometry more accessible to a wider range of individuals and communities, especially in resource-limited settings.
title: Automatic and Accurate Performance Prediction in Distributed Systems

description: System performance is getting attention by industry as it affects user experience, and much research focused on performance evaluation approaches. Profiling is the most straightforward approach to performance evaluation of software systems, despite being limited to shallow analyses. Conversely, software performance models excel in representing complex interactions between components. Still, practitioners do not integrate performance models in the software development cycle, as the learning curve is too steep, and the approaches do not adapt well to incremental development practices. In this thesis, we propose three approaches towards automatic learning of performance models. The first approach employs a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to extract a full Queueing Network (QN) model of the system; the second one calibrates a Layered Queueing Network (LQN) using an RNN; the third one presents μP, a framework that allows the user to develop microservice systems and obtain the corresponding LQN model from source code analysis. We considered the microservices architecture as it is embraced by influential players (e.g., Amazon, Netflix). Those approaches have two advantages: i) minimal user intervention to flatten the learning curve; ii) continuous synchronization between software and performance model, such as each software development iteration is reflected on the model. We validated our approaches on several benchmarks taken from the literature. The models we generate can be queried to predict the system behavior under conditions significantly different from the learning setting, and the results show sensible advancements in the quality of the predictions.
