To reduce carbon emissions resulted from tourism industry, low-carbon tourism is advocated and has become an important tourism policy in many countries. Previously, studies concerned about low-carbon tourism were focused on how to plan and design low-carbon tourism activities and itinerary products. However, little research was paid attention to the low-carbon tourism behavior of tourists and t...

Detergents are a viable method for earwax removal. Specifically, bile salts such as cholate and deoxycholate, work well for this function especially when placed in alkaline solution provided by sodium phosphate in the presence of 0.1 M sodium chloride. In vitro studies reveal these agents to quickly penetrate earwax, as visualized by yellowish color of the solution and lack of cohesion of the r...

The first academic researchers of music and dance games focused their primary attentions on ethnographic observations of game play, how the shift from arcade to console play affects game play strategies, defining embodied aesthetics, and analyzing the rise of a competitive play circuit in Dance Dance Revolution fan culture [Chan; Demers, 2006; Smith, 2004; Behrenshausen, 2007]. The Dance Dance ...

In this issue of The Lancet Neurology, Anthony Ngugi and colleagues report important insights into the epidemiology of epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa through a multicountry, population-based study of epilepsy prevalence and risk factors. Although populationbased reports of epilepsy prevalence data from Africa are readily available, substantial prevalence heterogeneity—sometimes even within the ...

“Go ahead, take your shoes off and walk toward the beach. This way head won't heat up along path.” Kai begins to walk. Sol had been wandering for months in a speculative postnatural expedition when she met him on littoral of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. They could see mountains horizon from accidented landscape. As they what Palomino village, planty growths burst light as pronounces seem be th...

The main aim of this thesis is to provide insight into the interaction of the syntactic and pragmatic properties of German, particularly with respect to the issue of congurationality. This language is particularly di cult to classify as it displays both subject-object asymmetries (a feature of \con gurational" languages), but also has a topic position (a feature of \discourse-con gurational" la...

Two experiments explored the effect of arm positions of approach and avoidance on food intake. In Experiment 1, arm extension, an expression of avoidance behavior, led to smaller food intake than arm flexion, an expression of approach behavior. In Experiment 2, this effect was found only for a delicious drink (i.e. orange juice), but not for a neutral drink (lukewarm water). Different theoretic...

Use of automatic incident detection algorithms (AIDA) in advanced freeway management systems has been sporadic and scarce. The current study investigates the causes of such limited implementation. A survey was carried out among the system managers, operators and end users, as well as the decision makers who set the operational policies and the priorities for future system enhancements. The surv...

There are numerous discourses associated with knowledge management but it is only in recent times that e-learning has been identified as a strategic resource that can be utilised in an increasing diversity of venues (home, workplace, cultural and entertainment venues, as well as traditional institutions of learning, education, and training). This chapter focuses on this issue and is concerned w...

We set out to explore a class of stochastic processes, called "adaptive dynamics", which supposedly capture some of the essentials of long term biological evolution. These processes have a strong deterministic component. This allows a classification of their qualitative features which in many aspects is similar to classifications from the theory of deterministic dynamical systems. But they also...
