Trust in the tourism and hospitality industries : a stakeholder perspective (2014)

Trust is important in both inter-organizational and inter-personal relationships, making it a hot research topic in various areas. Scholars from the tourism and hospitality industries showed interests in it since the 1990s. As a complex concept, trust has been studied from divergent perspectives like employees, customers, and product/service suppliers, reflecting multiple stakeholders involved. Given varying interests and stances of different stakeholders in the tourism and hospitality context, it is necessary to examine trust-related literature in a cohesive and systematic manner. Such efforts would contribute to the knowledge dissemination, proving researchers and practitioners a comprehensive angle to examine lines of enquiries of trust. The current study reviewed extant trust research and attempted to find out influencing factors for relevant stakeholders to form trust, findings of which offer managerial and academic implications. Furthermore, some promising future research directions of trust were proposed.
The Icewater Language and Interpreter (1984)

A symbolic circuit design language for describing the topology and topography of a VLSI design in a simple and hierarchical manner is described. The language was intended to provide a simple manner of structuring a VLSI design, based on the Mead and Conway design methodology. Cells may be constructed from other cells and technology specific devices. Terminals for interconnecting cells are explicitly named, and may be accessed in a symbolic fashion from the language. The restriction of methods of interconnecting cells to simple abutment and specific wiring provides a simple and clear method of maintaining the connectivity of the design. The methodology proposed obviates the need for overly complex geometrical design rules. Other tools will provide design compaction, mask generation, and circuit extraction using a technology specific database and the design description.
The autocrine motility factor receptor gene encodes a novel type of seven transmembrane protein<sup>1</sup> (1999)

Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR) is a cell surface glycoprotein of molecular weight 78,000 (gp78), mediating cell motility signaling in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Here, we cloned the full-length cDNAs for both human and mouse AMFR genes. Both genes encode a protein of 643 amino acids containing a seven transmembrane domain, a RING-H2 motif and a leucine zipper motif and showed a 94.7% amino acid sequence identity to each other. Analysis of the amino acid sequence of AMFR with protein databases revealed no significant homology with all known seven transmembrane proteins, but a significant structural similarity to a hypothetical protein of Caenorhabditis elegans, F26E4.11. Thus, AMFR is a highly conserved gene which encodes a novel type of seven transmembrane protein.
Span-based Joint Entity and Relation Extraction with Transformer Pre-training (2019)

We introduce SpERT, an attention model for span-based joint entity and relation extraction. Our key contribution is a light-weight reasoning on BERT embeddings, which features entity recognition and filtering, as well as relation classification with a localized, marker-free context representation. The model is trained using strong within-sentence negative samples, which are efficiently extracted in a single BERT pass. These aspects facilitate a search over all spans in the sentence. In ablation studies, we demonstrate the benefits of pre-training, strong negative sampling and localized context. Our model outperforms prior work by up to 2.6% F1 score on several datasets for joint entity and relation extraction.
Potential for natural evaporation as a reliable renewable energy resource (2017)

About 50% of the solar energy absorbed at the Earth's surface drives evaporation, fueling the water cycle that affects various renewable energy resources, such as wind and hydropower. Recent advances demonstrate our nascent ability to convert evaporation energy into work, yet there is little understanding about the potential of this resource. Here we study the energy available from natural evaporation to predict the potential of this ubiquitous resource. We find that natural evaporation from open water surfaces could provide power densities comparable to current wind and solar technologies while cutting evaporative water losses by nearly half. We estimate up to 325 GW of power is potentially available in the United States. Strikingly, water's large heat capacity is sufficient to control power output by storing excess energy when demand is low, thus reducing intermittency and improving reliability. Our findings motivate the improvement of materials and devices that convert energy from evaporation.The evaporation of water represents an alternative source of renewable energy. Building on previous models of evaporation, Cavusoglu et al. show that the power available from this natural resource is comparable to wind and solar power, yet it does not suffer as much from varying weather conditions.
An editor for adaptive XML-based policy management of IPsec (2004)

The IPsec protocol provides a mechanism to enforce a range of security services for both confidentiality and integrity, enabling secure transmission of information across networks. Dynamic parameterization of IPsec, via the KeyNote trust management system, further enables security mechanisms to adjust the level of security service "on-the-fly" to respond to changing network and operational conditions. However KeyNote requires that an IPsec policy be defined in the KeyNote specification syntax. Defining such a dynamic security policy in the KeyNote policy specification language is complicated and can lead to incorrect specification of the desired policy, thus degrading the security of the network. We present an alternative XML representation of this language and a graphical user interface to create and manage a consistent and correct security policy. The interface has the simplicity of a simple menu-driven editor that not only provides KeyNote with a policy in the specified syntax but also integrates techniques to support administrative policy verification.
W-Band and D-Band Traveling-Wave Tube Circuits Fabricated by 3D Printing (2019)

We present the fabrication and electromagnetic testing of serpentine waveguide traveling-wave tube amplifier circuits operating in the W-band (75-110 GHz) and D-band (110-170 GHz) frequency ranges. The circuit structures were fabricated in a split-block configuration in a photopolymer material using a commercial digital light processing (DLP) 3D printer and, subsequently, covered with a conducting layer by Au sputtering and Cu electroplating. Two-port S-parameter measurements of the W-band circuit demonstrate a transmission band from ~87-104 GHz, with a 26.7-dB return loss and a 0.55-dB insertion loss measured at 95 GHz. The D-band circuit demonstrates a transmission band from ~139 to 145 GHz, with a 21.5-dB return loss and a 2.4-dB insertion loss measured at 140 GHz.
Electrochemical energy storage device (2023)

An electrochemical energy storage device includes an anode having a first mixture which includes a first plurality of electrically conductive carbon-comprising particles having a first average porosity, and lithium metal materials. The weight ratio of the first plurality of carbon-comprising and lithium metal materials is from 30:1 to 3:1. A cathode includes a second mixture having a second plurality of electrically conductive carbon-comprising particles having a second average porosity greater than the first average porosity, and lithium-intercalating metal oxide particles. The weight ratio of the second plurality of carbon-comprising and lithium-intercalating metal oxide particles is from 1:20 to 5:1. The weight ratio between the lithium metal materials loaded in the anode and the second plurality of carbon-comprising particles in the cathode is from 0.1-10%. An electrolyte physically and ionically contacts the anode and the cathode, and fills the pore volume in the anode, cathode and a porous separator.
Identification of a Novel Human Subfamily of Mitochondrial Carriers with Calcium-binding Domains (2004)

Aralar1 and citrin were identified as calcium binding aspartate/glutamate carriers (AGC) in mitochondria. The presence of calcium binding motifs facing the extramitochondrial space allows the regulation of the transport activity of these carriers by cytosolic calcium and provides a new mechanism to transduce calcium signals in mitochondria without the requirement of calcium entry in the organelle. We now report the complete characterization of a second subfamily of human calcium binding mitochondrial carriers named SCaMC (short calcium-binding mitochondrial carriers). We have identified three SCaMC genes in the human genome. All code for highly conserved proteins (about 70-80% identity), of about 500 amino acids with a characteristic mitochondrial carrier domain at the C terminus, and an N-terminal extension harboring four EF-hand binding motifs with high similarity to calmodulin. All SCaMC proteins were found to be located exclusively in mitochondria, and their N-terminal extensions were dispensable for the correct mitochondrial targeting of the polypeptides. SCaMC-1 is the human orthologue of the rabbit Efinal protein, which was reported to be located in peroxisomes, and SCaMC-2 is the human orthologue of the rat MCSC protein, described as up-regulated by dexamethasone in AR42J cells. One of the SCaMC genes, SCaMC-2, has four variants generated by alternative splicing, resulting in proteins with a common C terminus but with variations in their N-terminal halves, including the loss of one to three EF-hand motifs. These results make SCaMC one of most complex subfamilies of mitochondrial carriers and suggest that the large number of isoforms and splice variants may confer different calcium sensitivity to the transport activity of these carriers.
Clostridium difficile Toxin B Causes Epithelial Cell Necrosis through an Autoprocessing-Independent Mechanism (2012)

Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated nosocomial infection in the United States. C. difficile secretes two homologous toxins, TcdA and TcdB, which are responsible for the symptoms of C. difficile associated disease. The mechanism of toxin action includes an autoprocessing event where a cysteine protease domain (CPD) releases a glucosyltransferase domain (GTD) into the cytosol. The GTD acts to modify and inactivate Rho-family GTPases. The presumed importance of autoprocessing in toxicity, and the apparent specificity of the CPD active site make it, potentially, an attractive target for small molecule drug discovery. In the course of exploring this potential, we have discovered that both wild-type TcdB and TcdB mutants with impaired autoprocessing or glucosyltransferase activities are able to induce rapid, necrotic cell death in HeLa and Caco-2 epithelial cell lines. The concentrations required to induce this phenotype correlate with pathology in a porcine colonic explant model of epithelial damage. We conclude that autoprocessing and GTD release is not required for epithelial cell necrosis and that targeting the autoprocessing activity of TcdB for the development of novel therapeutics will not prevent the colonic tissue damage that occurs in C. difficile - associated disease.
Galangin induces human colon cancer cell death via the mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase-dependent pathway (2013)

Galangin is a member of flavonols and found in Alpinia officinarum, galangal root, and propolis. Previous studies have demonstrated that galangin has anti-cancer effects on several cancers, including melanoma, hepatoma, and leukaemia cells. However, anti-cancer activity of galangin on human colon cancer has not been established yet. In this study, we investigated the anti-cancer effects of galangin on two types of human colon cancer cells (HCT-15 and HT-29). We found that galangin induced apoptosis and DNA condensation of human colon cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. We also determined that galangin increased the activation of caspase-3 and -9, and release of apoptosis inducing factor from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm by Western blot analysis. In addition, galangin induced human colon cancer cell death through the alteration of mitochondria membrane potential and dysfunction. These results suggest that galangin induces apoptosis of HCT-15 and HT-29 human colon cancer cells and may prove useful in the development of therapeutic agents for human colon cancer.
Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of Placenta and Endosperm in Developing Maize Kernels in Response to Water Deficit (2003)

The early post-pollination phase of maize (Zea mays) development is particularly sensitive to water deficit stress. Using cDNA microarray, we studied transcriptional profiles of endosperm and placenta/pedicel tissues in developing maize kernels under water stress. At 9 d after pollination (DAP), placenta/pedicel and endosperm differed considerably in their transcriptional responses. In placenta/pedicel, 79 genes were significantly affected by stress and of these 89% were up-regulated, whereas in endosperm, 56 genes were significantly affected and 82% of these were down-regulated. Only nine of the stress-regulated genes were in common between these tissues. Hierarchical cluster analysis indicated that different sets of genes were regulated in the two tissues. After rewatering at 9 DAP, profiles at 12 DAP suggested that two regulons exist, one for genes responding specifically to concurrent imposition of stress, and another for genes remaining affected after transient stress. In placenta, genes encoding recognized stress tolerance proteins, including heat shock proteins, chaperonins, and major intrinsic proteins, were the largest class of genes regulated, all of which were up-regulated. In contrast, in endosperm, genes in the cell division and growth category represented a large class of down-regulated genes. Several cell wall-degrading enzymes were expressed at lower levels than in controls, suggesting that stress delayed normal advance to programmed cell death in the central endosperm. We suggest that the responsiveness of placenta to whole-plant stress factors (water potential, abscisic acid, and sugar flux) and of endosperm to indirect factors may play key roles in determining the threshold for kernel abortion.

El objetivo es averiguar si laAcademia aprovechó este material lexicográfico en la incorporación delas voces de ciencias exactas en las ediciones posteriores de su diccionariogeneral, a la vez que evaluar la conveniencia de su recepción en elNuevo diccionario histórico de la lengua española.
Estimating Annual Average Daily Traffic Using Hourly Traffic Pattern and Grouping in National Highway (2012)

This study shows how to estimate AADT(Annual Average Daily Traffic) on temporary count data using new grouping method. This study deals with clustering permanent traffic counts using monthly adjustment factor, daily adjustment factor and a percentage of hourly volume. This study uses a percentage of hourly volume comparing with other studies. Cluster analysis is used and 5 groups is suitable. First, make average of monthly adjustment factor, average of daily adjustment factor, a percentage of hourly volume for each group. Next estimate AADT using 24 hour volume(not holiday) and two adjustment factors. Goodness of fit test is used to find what groups are applicable. MAPE(Mean Absolute Percentage Error) is 8.7% in this method. It is under 1.5% comparing with other method(using adjustment factors in same section). This method is better than other studies because it can apply all temporary counts data.
Private Investigation and Policing (2021)

Private investigators in the media and drama are a common, curious, and appealing occurrence (Livingstone and Hart, 2003). Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Jim Rockford, Magnum PI, Philip Marlowe, Perry Mason, and Veronica Mars are just a fraction of a cast of hundreds who many of us have watched with interest. Security guards, by contrast, have rarely featured in dramas in comparison to their private investigator cousins, but when academic attention is quantified the position is reversed. The vast bulk of private policing research is dedicated to uniformed private security, with very little attention directed at private investigators (See, e.g. Button, 2007; Rigakos, 2002; Wakefield, 2003; Crawford et al., 2005; Thumala et al., 2011; Löfstrand et al., 2016; Nalla et al., 2017). There have been very few studies of private investigators, with the bulk conducted by Gill and...

Fungal foot infection, cellulitis and diabetes: a review (2009)

There is some evidence to suggest that fungal infection of the foot is a factor in the development of lower limb cellulitis, but further robust research is needed to confirm these findings and quantify the risk that fungi pose, particularly to the diabetic foot. Meanwhile, improved surveillance and treatment of tinea infections on the foot by healthcare professionals should be encouraged to reduce potential complications.
Mesostructured hybrid organic–inorganic thin films (2005)

This review discussed the design and different synthetic routes that lead to hybrid thin films that have a periodically organised porosity. The mechanism of formation, the role of the organic functionality and the resulting mesophase, the comparison between one-pot and post-synthesis approaches and the applications domain of this mesostructured hybrid film are described and discussed in this article.
Quantum states with Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations admitting a hidden-variable model (1989)

A state of a composite quantum system is called classically correlated if it can be approximated by convex combinations of product states, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlated otherwise. Any classically correlated state can be modeled by a hidden-variable theory and hence satisfies all generalized Bell's inequalities. It is shown by an explicit example that the converse of this statement is false.
Hybrid energy-integrating and photon-counting micro-CT (2020)

The maturation of photon-counting detector (PCD) technology promises to enhance routine CT applications with high-fidelity spectral information, transforming X-ray CT into a functional and molecular imaging modality, while maintaining the high spatial resolution, fast scanning times, and relatively low cost. We present our novel dual source pre-clinical micro-CT prototype system that combines a photon counting detector (PCD) and an energy integrating detector (EID) in a single system. We compare performance for PCD-only with combined hybrid (i.e. PCD and EID) CT imaging with equal dose. All CT data sets (EID-only, PCD-only, and hybrid) were reconstructed using our iterative, multi-channel algorithm based on the split Bregman method and regularization with rank-sparse kernel regression. We used a post-reconstruction decomposition method with iodine (I), gold (Au), gadolinium (Gd), and calcium (Ca) basis functions. Performance was assessed using micro-CT phantoms. Our results show the spatial resolution of the PCD-only and the hybrid reconstructions were similar and slightly better than for EID-only reconstruction with ~3.5 lp/mm (10% MTF). The NPS of the hybrid reconstruction was similar to PCD-only reconstruction. By co-reconstructing EID and PCD data, we achieved better image quality in the material decomposition but marginal differences in terms of concentration accuracy. Hybrid spectral micro- CT can benefit both nanotechnology and cancer research by providing imaging that can help test and optimize various NPs for theranostics.

Generative adversarial networks: introduction and outlook (2017)

Recently, generative adversarial networks U+0028 GANs U+0029 have become a research focus of artificial intelligence. Inspired by two-player zero-sum game, GANs comprise a generator and a discriminator, both trained under the adversarial learning idea. The goal of GANs is to estimate the potential distribution of real data samples and generate new samples from that distribution. Since their initiation, GANs have been widely studied due to their enormous prospect for applications, including image and vision computing, speech and language processing, etc. In this review paper, we summarize the state of the art of GANs and look into the future. Firstly, we survey GANs U+02BC proposal background, theoretic and implementation models, and application fields. Then, we discuss GANs U+02BC advantages and disadvantages, and their development trends. In particular, we investigate the relation between GANs and parallel intelligence, with the conclusion that GANs have a great potential in parallel systems research in terms of virtual-real interaction and integration. Clearly, GANs can provide substantial algorithmic support for parallel intelligence.
