The need to adapt climate change brings about moral concerns that according ‘eco-centric’ critiques cannot be resolved by modernist ethics, as this takes humans the only beings capable of intentionality and rationality. However, if rationality are reconsidered ‘counterfactual hypotheses’ it becomes possible align ethics with eco-centric approaches. These counterfactual hypotheses guide developm...

With the evolution in cloud technologies, users are becoming acquainted with seamless service provision. Nevertheless, clouds are not a user centric technology, and users become completely dependent on service providers. We propose a novel concept for clouds, where users self-organize to create their clouds. We present such an architecture for user-centric clouds, which relies on self-managed c...

One fundament. One firework. Plant it and retreat. Sadly, the result seems to have been barely a fizzle. Roger Cooter tried to provoke a debate in these pages about how ‘medico-centric historians’ should engage with what he sees as the fundamentally ‘bio-centric’ contemporary world. Well, I for one feel like I’ve had a firework stuck up the centre of my bio-existence, and I intend to return the...

Electronic word-of-mouth a technique of communicating with consumers in order share their experiences, it significant marketing tool for hotels. This paper aims identify main themes shared online reviews by tour...

Relative centricity RC values of vertices/atoms are calculated within the Distance Detour and Cluj-Distance criteria on their corresponding Shell transforms. The vertex RC distribution in a molecular graph gives atom equivalence classes, useful in interpretation of NMR spectra. Timed by vertex valences, RC provides a new index, called Centric Connectivity CC, which can be useful in the topologi...

A student-centric research education program with the active participation of undergraduate students is initiated. The aim is to imbibe ―responsible citizenship behavior‖ in them so that each member becomes conscious and well trained to take up environmental-related issues and challenges for long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. In this work, we report spectrophotometer-based estimation of...
