Background. Attention to the loyalty of fans to the long-term success of sports organizations has become increasingly important. On this note, it seems necessary to pay attention to the variables that predict and influence the loyalty of spectators. Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of satisfaction in the effect of team reputation and team quality on the loy...

This is a summary of ve lectures delivered at the CIME course on Advanced Nu merical Approximation of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations held in Cetraro Italy on June Following the introductory lecture I which provides a general overview of approximate solution to nonlinear conservation laws the remaining lectures deal with the speci cs of four complementing topics Lecture II Finite di erence metho...

I worked in a basic science biology laboratory throughout my undergraduate years. But I was not trained in genomics, systems biology, neurophysiology, or modern molecular aspects of medicine. I conducted behavioral intervention studies for my master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation (Powers, Blount, Bachanas, Cotter, & Swan, 1993; Powers & Roberts, 1995). But I did not learn about the phases o...

Although most existing teamwork management systems support userfriendly interface to some extent, few of them have take into consideration of the special requirements of workflow visualisation. This paper realises the unique features of visualisation for run-time workflow, i.e., workflow enactment and execution. We present a detailed discussion of the emerging problems against the general aesth...

global warming is one of the major concerns in environmental issues. its effects are being exposed faster than anticipated recently. it causes adverse ecological and socioeconomical effects. the 4th assessment report issued by the u. n.’s intergovernmental panel on climate change (ipcc) states that it is appropriate to define global warming was caused by greenhouse gases due to human activities...

conclusions the analysis of the findings of the present study through considering the defined categories demonstrated that, to modify and correct the turbulent atmosphere-based management, several important measures are required and need to be continually monitored. results the result of data analysis was the theme “turbulent atmosphere-based management,” which consists of five categories as fo...

the main sources of human exposure to trace metals for non-occupationally exposed individualsare inhalation and ingestion. because the absorption rates of the metals by inhalation are significantly higher (up to 50-60%) than those by ingestion (between 3% and 10%), determination of trace metals in ambient air samples is of special interest. the main purpose of this study was to determine fe, zn...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Cressler for his guidance, support, and insight which contributed greatly to this work. He is an outstanding teacher and advisor, and he is always willing to make time to help work through problems. I would like to express my gratitude to the Air Force Research Laboratory for their support and feedback on my research. I would like to also acknowledge T...

Carbon sequestration by reacting naturally occurring Mg and Ca containing minerals with CO2 to form carbonates has many unique advantages. Most notably is the fact that carbonates have a lower energy state than CO2, which is why mineral carbonation is thermodynamically favorable and occurs naturally (e.g., the weathering of rock over geologic time periods). Secondly, the raw materials such as m...

organisms within a few decades,” says Carol Turley of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Jean-Pierre Gattuso of CNRSUniversity Pierre and Marie Curie, who has researchers in the team said: “The oceans absorb about a quarter of human-made carbon dioxide. This has been limiting the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and mitigating climate change. However, the massive amounts absorbed — about...
