Distinct Terms Research Articles

Food tourism and regional development: A systematic literature review

Using food as a differentiating asset of destinations and its potential in influencing tourists’ travel decisions is being much discussed in academia. Different countries use distinct terms to relate food to tourism. Concepts such as culinary tourism, food tourism and gastronomy tourism are used interchangeably. This paper aims to explore regional innovation strategies based on food and tourism and on how they can contribute to destination management. The study adopts a systematic literature review by focusing on two main databases, namely SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science. In total, 538 articles (from 1985 to 2017) published in English peer-reviewed academic journals were analysed. The systematic review revealed that food and tourism has been approached from varied perspectives, from interactions with traditional protection strategies under European food quality labels, such as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), to innovative actions, which encapsulate the reengineering of places transforming them into creative food spaces or food clusters. Finally, this paper seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge on food and tourism, under the perspective of regional innovation strategies, applying a qualitative systematic literature review of a 27 selected articles within the scope of the research.

Figure and Ground in spatial language: evidence from German and Korean

abstractWe investigate how German and Korean speakers describe everyday spatial/motion events, such as putting a cup on the table. In these motion events, the moving object (e.g., cup) and the non-moving reference object (e.g., table) take on the roles of Figure and Ground, respectively. Figure(F) and Ground(G) thus have distinct perceptual properties and assume conceptually asymmetric roles (entity moving along a trajectory vs. stationary reference frame). We examine the degrees to which speakers distinguish between F and G semantically (spatial/Path terms, e.g., on, in) and syntactically (grammatical roles, e.g., subject, object). Participants described events involving two objects that switched their F-G roles (put cup(F) on board(G) and put board(F) under cup(G)). German speakers use distinct Path terms (e.g., auf, in) for differential F-G relations, thus encoding the F-G asymmetry. In contrast, Korean speakers use the same terms (e.g., kkita ‘fit.tightly’) and the same syntactic constructions regardless of switches in F-G roles. These cross-linguistic differences are evident for Non-typical events (Put board(F) under cup(G)), showing that the encoding of the asymmetry interacts with speakers’ everyday experiences of motion events. We argue that the differences reflect the interactions between the Path lexicon and spatial syntax, and language-specific viewpoints of the F-G relation.

Topological terms in Composite Higgs models

We apply a recent classification of topological action terms to Composite Higgs models based on a variety of coset spaces G/H and discuss their phenomenology. The topological terms, which can all be obtained by integrating (possibly only locally-defined) differential forms, come in one of two types, with substantially differing consequences for phenomenology. The first type of term (which appears in the minimal model based on SO(5)/SO(4)) is a field theory generalization of the Aharonov-Bohm phase in quantum mechanics. The phenomenological effects of such a term arise only at the non-perturbative level, and lead to P and CP violation in the Higgs sector. The second type of term (which appears in the model based on SO(6)/SO(5)) is a field theory generalization of the Dirac monopole in quantum mechanics and has physical effects even at the classical level. Perhaps most importantly, measuring the coefficient of such a term can allow one to probe the structure of the underlying microscopic theory. A particularly rich topological structure, with 6 distinct terms, is uncovered for the model based on SO(6)/SO(4), containing 2 Higgs doublets and a singlet. Of the corresponding couplings, one is an integer and one is a phase.

Elastic models of dislocations based on atomistic Kanzaki forces

© 2018 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. This paper studies the relationship between the atomistic representation of crystalline dislocations as Kanzaki forces and the continuum representation of dislocations as Burridge-Knopoff (BK) force distributions. We first derive a complete theory of the BK force representation of dislocations in an anisotropic linear elastic continuum, showcasing a number of fundamental features found when dislocations are represented as distributions of body forces in defect-free continuum media. We then build, within the harmonic approximation, the Kanzaki force representation of dislocations in atomistic lattice models. We rigorously show that in the long-wave limit, the Kanzaki force representation converges to the continuum BK representation. We therefore justify employing the Kanzaki forces as source terms in continuum theories of dislocations. We do this by establishing a methodology to compute the Kanzaki forces of dislocations via the force constant matrix of the material's perfect lattice. We use it to study a model of a screw dislocation in bcc tungsten, where we show the existence of two distinct Kanzaki force terms: the slip Kanzaki forces, which we show directly correspond with the BK forces implied by a Volterra dislocation; and the core Kanzaki forces, which are computed from the relaxed dislocation structure, and serve to model all core effects not captured by the Volterra dislocation. We build a multipolar field expansion of both the core and the slip Kanzaki forces, showing that the dislocation core is agreeable to correction via the multipolar field expansion of the core Kanzaki forces.

Semantic term weighting for clinical texts

Term weighting is an essential step to process textual data and generate input data (vector) for machine learning algorithms. In order to appropriately represent documents into computable forms for a certain task (such as text classification, clustering, sentiment analysis, recommendation and information retrieval), semantic term weighting which considers term meanings is significant for specific applications of machine learning. Two challenging issues of semantic term weighting for clinical texts are how to determine the meaning of a medical term in a given clinical text and how to give semantic weights for a huge amount of distinct terms in clinical texts. To address those challenges, this work proposes a two-phase framework for determining semantic weights of terms in clinical texts. The proposed framework derives a two-part hierarchy where each of the nodes is categories of terms. All terms in a clinical text is classified into the categories in the hierarchy and terms in the leaf nodes are assigned with the same semantic weights. Fundamentally, the deeper the hierarchy, the higher the semantic weights. The first phase classifies all terms into the categories which are commonly significant for any tasks, by using UMLS and ICD-10. These categories are organized at the first part of the hierarchy. The second phase flexibly organizes specific categories for a certain task as the second part of the hierarchy as well as the subcategories of the first part, by specific medical domain knowledge regarding the aspect under consideration. The implementation of the proposed framework for mortality prediction with semantic weights is validated by experimental comparative evaluation using the well-known EMRs database MIMIC II. The experimental results showed that the performance is considerably improved when combining frequency-based weights and semantic weights with its significant difference derived from a paired t-test. Although the proposed framework can be applied to only medical domain, various tasks in medical domain can be covered by the proposed framework which flexibly organizes the second part (deeper levels in the hierarchy) by specific medical knowledge regarding the aspect under consideration.

The unreasonable rigidity of Ulam sequences

An Ulam sequence U(a,b) is defined as a sequence starting with integers a,b such that 0<a<b, and such that every subsequent term is the smallest integer that can be written as the sum of distinct previous terms in exactly one way. We investigate a new rigidity phenomenon for families U(a,b), where a is fixed and we allow b to increase, centering around a result proved using a novel model theoretic argument. For the specific case U(1,n), we provide an algorithm for computing relevant coefficients, together with a proof of correctness.

Abstract LB-310: hnRNPM drives cell-state specific alternative splicing during EMT through combinatorial regulation with other RNA binding proteins

Abstract The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental developmental program that is abnormally activated in cancer cells, resulting in therapeutic resistance and metastasis. Dramatic changes in alternative splicing occur during EMT, however the master regulators of this critical regulatory layer are poorly understood. We previously identified the ubiquitously expressed RNA binding protein hnRNPM as a causal driver of EMT and breast cancer metastasis whereby hnRNPM drives alternative exon skipping of the cancer stem cell marker CD44 in a mesenchymal-cell-state restricted manner. However, the scope of hnRNPM-mediated regulation of the EMT post-transcriptional landscape and the mechanisms by which hnRNPM functions in a cell-state specific fashion remain uncertain. By integrating breast epithelial and mesenchymal hnRNPM-depletion RNA-sequencing datasets coupled with individual nucleotide crosslinking and immunoprecipitation of hnRNPM, we identified cell-state specific hnRNPM target RNAs undergoing alternative splicing. hnRNPM cell-state specific targets enrich for distinct gene ontology terms where epithelial targets are enriched in genes critical for the cell cycle while mesenchymal targets cluster in pathways associated with cell migration and EMT. Strikingly, we found hnRNPM regulates splicing to oppose EMT in the epithelial state but then promotes EMT in the mesenchymal state. This unexpected regulatory switch where hnRNPM maintains the cell-cycle in epithelial cells while driving cell migration and metastasis in mesenchymal cells suggests a dual role for hnRNPM in sustaining epithelial and mesenchymal-type breast cancers. Motif analysis and regulon overlap of cell-state specific hnRNPM targets identify ESRP1 and other RNA binding proteins as putative mediators of hnRNPM cell-state specific activity during EMT. Together, this study extends our functional understanding of how hnRNPM regulates the EMT post-transcriptional program and functions in different subtypes of breast cancer. Citation Format: Samuel E.

Finite frequency current noise in the Holstein model

We investigate the effects of local vibrational excitations in the nonsymmetrized current noise $S(\omega)$ of a nanojunction. For this purpose, we analyze a simple model - the Holstein model - in which the junction is described by a single electronic level that is coupled to two metallic leads and to a single vibrational mode. Using the Keldysh Green's function technique, we calculate the nonsymmetrized current noise to the leading order in the charge-vibration interaction. For the noise associated to the latter, we identify distinct terms corresponding to the mean-field noise and the vertex correction. The mean-field result can be further divided into an elastic correction to the noise and in an inelastic correction, the second one being related to energy exchange with the vibration. To illustrate the general behavior of the noise induced by the charge-vibration interaction, we consider two limit cases. In the first case, we assume a strong coupling of the dot to the leads with an energy-independent transmission whereas in the second case we assume a weak tunneling coupling between the dot and the leads such that the transport occurs through a sharp resonant level. We find that the noise associated to the vibration-charge interaction shows a complex pattern as a function of the frequency $\omega$ and of the transmission function or of the dot's energy level. Several transitions from enhancement to suppression of the noise occurs in different regions, which are determined, in particular, by the vibrational frequency. Remarkably, in the regime of an energy-independent transmission, the zero order elastic noise vanishes at perfect transmission and at positive frequency whereas the noise related to the charge-vibration interaction remains finite enabling the analysis of the pure vibrational-induced current noise.

Macromolecular crowding effects in flexible polymer solutions

Biological environments are often “crowded” due to high concentrations (300–400[Formula: see text]g/L) of macromolecules. Computational modeling approaches like Molecular Dynamics (MD), rigid-body Brownian Dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations have recently emerged, which allow to study the effects macromolecular crowding at a microscopic level and to provide complementary information to experiments. Here, we use a recently introduced multiple-conformation Monte Carlo (mcMC) approach in order to study the influence of intermolecular interactions on the structural equilibrium of flexible polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers under self-crowding conditions. The large conformational space accessible to PEG polymers allows us to evaluate the general applicability of the mcMC approach, which describes the intramolecular degrees of freedom by a finite-size ensemble of discrete conformations. Despite the simplicity of the approach, we show that influences of intermolecular interactions on the intramolecular free energy surface can be described qualitatively using mcMC. By varying the magnitude of distinct terms in the intermolecular potential, we can further study the compensating effects of repulsive and nonspecific attractive intermolecular interactions, which favor compact and extended polymer states, respectively. We use our simulation results to derive an analytical model that describes the effects of intermolecular interactions on the stability of PEG polymer conformations as a function of the radius of gyration and the corresponding solvent accessible surface. We use this model to confirm the role of molecular surfaces for attractive interactions that can counteract excluded volume effects. Extrapolation of the model further allows for the analysis of scenarios that are not easily accessible to direct simulations as described here.

Behavioural location theory – evolution, tools and future

The behavioural location theory emphasises high importance of the limited rationality and the subjective perception of space in selecting of the location for a business activity. The article discusses key competencies from the scope of behavioural location theory. Ac-cording to the Authors, the behavioural location theory is rather complementary than competitive in relation to the neoclassical or modern approach, as it allows to explain the deviations of the decision-makers from the optimisation behaviour.

Voice in Later Medieval English Literature: Public Interiorities by David Lawton

Reviewed by: Voice in Later Medieval English Literature: Public Interiorities by David Lawton James B. Harr III Voice in Later Medieval English Literature: Public Interiorities By David Lawton. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. <https://global.oup.com/academic/product/voice-in-later-medieval-english-literature-9780198792406?cc=us&lang=en&> Characterization and the use of framework narrative in the traditional sense have long dictated academic approaches to late-medieval literature, and while there have certainly been deviations, particularly as emerging critical theories are embraced by medieval scholarship, focus often returns to standard hermeneutical approaches to literature of the Middle Ages. In his recent book, Voice in Later Medieval English Literature, David Lawton takes a fresh look at late-fourteenth to fifteenth-century literature and examines the medieval voice specifically articulated in (but certainly not limited to) the works of Chaucer and Langland through the analysis of public interiorities and modern criticism. "Public interiorities," as Lawton defines them, "are pieces of language—as speech or text—which already exist before they are revoiced by a new user" (8). He uses this term to uncover a layer of text neglected by previous studies as a means to reveal an interlinear voice, while concurrently repositioning medieval scholarship away from its preoccupation with "authority." In doing so, the intertextuality between classical, biblical, and medieval examples is exposed and a prevalent—and overlooked—element in medieval literary studies emerges. The book commences with a clear presentation of authorial objectives while briefly anticipating possible counterarguments. For example, Lawton mentions that he deliberately omits John Gower from the discussion as the breadth of his work and his place in Chaucerian discourse require a separate and devoted project. After briefly providing instances of public interiorities as a means to introduce the reader to the term, Lawton moves to the use of voice in literature. He carefully foreshadows his integration of modern examples to parallel and further elucidate the voice in medieval texts. In doing so, he simultaneously projects a relationship between the literary past and present, emulating "the practice of medieval authors" (11). Arguably, a significant challenge for Lawton [End Page 124] is in acknowledging a conceptualization of the voice while temporarily obscuring any delineation between the spoken word and the written word. As he readily admits, "Voice will not be easy to define, for it is not a determinate order of signs like figures or tropes but a volatile series of suggestions or cues that move between theme and address, between text and reader" (2). However, it is apparent by the end of the book that he has surmounted this difficulty. Divided into two parts, the book first focuses on voice and public interiorities. The second half of the book takes the concepts explicated in Chapters 1–4 and applies them to Piers Plowman, The Canterbury Tales, and fifteenth-century poetry. In Chapter 1, Lawton uses an example that would have been both recognized and embraced by the late-medieval writer: Saint Paul. In the context of Chaucerian texts, he uses Paul's voice to initially set up a conversation that has Chaucer, "the opposite pole to Paul on voice" (19), conversing with the apostle through his characters. For example, Paul's tenets are reflected in the sermon given by the Pardoner and (indirectly) rejected by the Wife of Bath. It is in this chapter that Lawton connects the voice to the soul, referencing several examples including those found in medieval art, making the concept of voice abstract. Chapter 2 moves to articulating the relationship between voice and public interiorities, thus imbricating the two distinct terms while using the modern (Proust) to juxtapose the medieval (Chaucer and Machaut). Lawton sums up this chapter by writing, "The voice…is complicated, bitter, full both of other texts and of more personalized grievance. It is a strange mixture of anger and urbanity, but no less public a voice for that" (60). Chapter 3 looks to modern critical theory and invokes Habermas's Offentlichkeit (public sphere) to define "public interiorities." Lawton is careful not to suggest that the two are the same but clearly asserts, "Public interiorities are not public spheres, however, though they arise precisely from the convergences and divergences...

Evaluation of the Pivot Profile©, a new method to characterize a large variety of a single product: Case study on honeys from around the world

Honey is a natural product with very diverse sensory attributes that are influenced by the flower source, the bee species, the geographic origin, the treatments and conditions during storage. This study aimed at describing 50 honeys from diverse flower sources in different continents and islands, stored under various conditions. Many articles have been published on the sensory characterization of honeys, thus a common list of attributes has been established, but it appeared to be poorly suited to describe a large number of honeys from around the world. This is why the novel and rapid sensory evaluation method, the Pivot Profile©, was tested, with the participation of 15 panelists during five sessions. The first objective was to obtain a sensory description of the 50 honeys that were tested. From 1152 distinct terms, a list of 29 sensory attributes was established and the attributes divided into three categories: color/texture (8 terms), aroma (16 terms), and taste (5 terms). At first, the honeys have been ranked according to their level of crystallization from fluid/liquid to viscous/hard. Then color was the second assessment factor of the variability. In terms of aroma, honeys from Africa were characterized by smoky, resin, caramel and dried fruit as opposed to floral and fruity, mainly for honeys from South America and Europe. Finally, the honeys were ranked according to their sweetness. The second objective of this study was to test the new sensory method, called Pivot Profile© which is used to describe a large number of products with interpretable results.

Modified Saez–Ballester scalar–tensor theory from 5D space-time

In this paper, we bring together the five-dimensional Saez–Ballester (SB) scalar–tensor theory (Saez and Ballester 1986 Phys. Lett. 113A 9) and the induced-matter-theory (IMT) setting (Wesson and Ponce de Leon 1992 J. Math. Phys. 33 3883), to obtain a modified SB theory (MSBT) in four dimensions. Specifically, by using an intrinsic dimensional reduction procedure into the SB field equations in five-dimensions, a MSBT is obtained onto a hypersurface orthogonal to the extra dimension. This four-dimensional MSBT is shown to bear distinctive new features in contrast to the usual corresponding SB theory as well as to IMT and the modified Brans–Dicke theory (MBDT) (Rasouli et al 2014 Class. Quantum Grav. 31 115002). In more detail, besides the usual induced matter terms retrieved through the IMT, the MSBT scalar field is provided with additional physically distinct (namely, SB induced) terms as well as an intrinsic self-interacting potential (interpreted as a consequence of the IMT process and the concrete geometry associated with the extra dimension). Moreover, our MSBT has four sets of field equations, with two sets having no analog in the standard SB scalar–tensor theory. It should be emphasized that the herein appealing solutions can emerge solely from the geometrical reductional process, from the presence also of extra dimension(s) and not from any ad-hoc matter either in the bulk or on the hypersurface. Subsequently, we apply the herein MSBT to cosmology and consider an extended spatially flat FLRW geometry in a five-dimensional vacuum space-time. After obtaining the exact solutions in the bulk, we proceed to construct, by means of the MSBT setting, the corresponding dynamic, on the four-dimensional hypersurface. More precisely, we obtain the (SB) components of the induced matter, including the induced scalar potential terms. We retrieve two different classes of solutions. Concerning the first class, we show that the MSBT yields a barotropic equation of state for the induced perfect fluid. We then investigate vacuum, dust, radiation, stiff fluid and false vacuum cosmologies for this scenario and contrast the results with those obtained in the standard SB theory, IMT and BD theory. Regarding the second class solutions, we show that the scale factor behaves in a similar way to a de Sitter (DeS) model. However, in our MSBT setting, this behavior is assisted by non-vanishing induced matter instead, without any a priori cosmological constant. Moreover, for all these solutions, we show that the extra dimension contracts with the cosmic time.

Erdős–Birch type question in [formula omitted

TextA set A of nonnegative integers is said to be complete if every sufficiently large natural number is the sum of distinct terms taken from A. In 1959, Birch confirmed a conjecture of Erdős by proving that the set {pnqm:n,m=0,1,…} is complete, where p and q are two coprime integers greater than 1. In this paper, we study extensively the set P(Sp1,…,pr) of all vectors (m1,…,mr) with integer coordinates which can be represented as ∑(p1α1,…,prαr), where p1,…,pr are integers greater than 1 and α1,…,αr are nonnegative integers. We find many regular parts in P(Sp1,…,pr), for example, discrete rectangles. To study the problem, we find a new matching principle.

Thermally driven long-range magnon spin currents in yttrium iron garnet due to intrinsic spin Seebeck effect

The longitudinal spin Seebeck effect refers to the generation of a spin current when heat flows across a normal metal/magnetic insulator interface. Until recently, most explanations of the spin Seebeck effect use the interfacial temperature difference as the conversion mechanism between heat and spin fluxes. However, recent theoretical and experimental works claim that a magnon spin current is generated in the bulk of a magnetic insulator even in the absence of an interface. This is the so-called intrinsic spin Seebeck effect. Here, by utilizing a non-local spin Seebeck geometry, we provide additional evidence that the total magnon spin current in the ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) actually contains two distinct terms: one proportional to the gradient in the magnon chemical potential (pure magnon spin diffusion), and a second proportional to the gradient in magnon temperature ($\nabla T_m$). We observe two characteristic decay lengths for magnon spin currents in YIG with distinct temperature dependences: a temperature independent decay length of ~ 10 ${\mu}$m consistent with earlier measurements of pure ($\nabla T_m = 0$) magnon spin diffusion, and a longer decay length ranging from about 20 ${\mu}$m around 250 K and exceeding 80 ${\mu}$m at 10 K. The coupled spin-heat transport processes are modeled using a finite element method revealing that the longer range magnon spin current is attributable to the intrinsic spin Seebeck effect ($\nabla T_m \neq 0$), whose length scale increases at lower temperatures in agreement with our experimental data.

Average number of Zeckendorf integers

TextBy Zeckendorf's theorem each positive integer is uniquely written as a sum of distinct non-adjacent terms of the Fibonacci sequence. This representability remains true for so called the Nth order Fibonacci sequence, and for a further generalization to linear recurrences with positive coefficients. In this paper we consider sequences {Gn} that have the same linear recurrence relations as the Nth order Fibonacci sequence but has different initial values, and investigate the number of positive integers up to X that are written as a sum of distinct terms of Gn. We also introduce a converse of Zeckendorf's theorem that does not require the increasing condition. Our method extends to general linear recurrences, and a generalization is introduced in this paper. VideoFor a video summary of this paper, please visit https://youtu.be/vSwSJ_sppns.

Sundanese ancient manuscripts search engine using probability approach

Today, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a regular thing for every aspect of live include cultural and heritage aspect. Sundanese ancient manuscripts as Sundanese heritage are in damage condition and also the information that containing on it. So in order to preserve the information in Sundanese ancient manuscripts and make them easier to search, a search engine has been developed. The search engine must has good computing ability. In order to get the best computation in developed search engine, three types of probabilistic approaches: Bayesian Networks Model, Divergence from Randomness with PL2 distribution, and DFR-PL2F as derivative form DFR-PL2 have been compared in this study. The three probabilistic approaches supported by index of documents and three different weighting methods: term occurrence, term frequency, and TF-IDF. The experiment involved 12 Sundanese ancient manuscripts. From 12 manuscripts there are 474 distinct terms. The developed search engine tested by 50 random queries for three types of query. The experiment results showed that for the single query and multiple query, the best searching performance given by the combination of PL2F approach and TF-IDF weighting method. The performance has been evaluated using average time responds with value about 0.08 second and Mean Average Precision (MAP) about 0.33.

Electric Manipulation of Laminar Nonpremixed Counterflow Propane Flames

The effect of the electric field on laminar nonpremixed counterflow propane flames was analyzed computationally. The computations were conducted using ANSYS fluent platform associated with a detailed kinetic mechanism. The mechanism was supplemented with a set of three reactions accounting for the consumption/production of three chemi-ions. It was established that the position of the flame could be only controlled through altering the intensity of the applied electric field. The effect of the applied electric field was included within the reactive flow equations via introducing two distinct terms: a body force term that accounts for the electric field effects on the momentum of the reactive mixture, and an extra diffusion term that accounts for the mobility charged species, namely ambipolar diffusion. This study clearly shows that electric force provides a potential for controlling the location of propane flames without affecting their structure.

Semantic Reconciliation of Electronic Health Records Using Semantic Web Technologies

In this paper, the authors present an approach to reconcile the semantics of distinct medical terms found in personal health records (PHRs - that store data controlled by patients) and electronic medical records (EMRs - that store data controlled by providers) that are utilized to describe the same concept in different systems. The authors present a solution for semantic reconciliation based on RDF and related semantic web technologies. As part of the solution, the authors utilize a centralized repository of ontologies to: uniformly interrogate the medical coding systems in which those terms are defined, extract all of their published synonyms, and save the results as RDF triples. The final step in the process is to employ a reasoner to infer non-explicit synonymy among those terms, hence evidencing the underlying semantics to the PHR and EMR systems for possible further processing.
