Tourist citizenship behavior (TCB) is crucial for tourist destination management because of the benefits it provides to destinations. Despite importance this discretionary and altruistic behavior, however, scant research has analyzed TCB at level. The present study addresses gap. It examines relationships between identification, perceived value, TCB. also explores relationship willingness sacri...

BACKGROUND Hyperbilirubinemia occurs in most healthy term and late-preterm infants, and must be monitored to identify those who might develop severe hyperbilirubinemia. Total serum bilirubin (TSB) or transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) nomograms have been developed and validated to identify neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. This study aimed to review previously published studies and compare the TcB nomog...

OBJECTIVE to prospectively validate a previously constructed transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) nomogram for identifying severe hyperbilirubinemia in healthy Chinese term and late-preterm infants. METHODS this was a multicenter study that included 9,174 healthy term and late-preterm infants in eight hospitals of China. TcB measurements were performed using a JM-103 bilirubinometer. TcB values wer...

This paper presents improvement of a core-based chip’s test control architecture that uses Std IEEE 1149.1 TAP to access core level register Test Control Blocks (TCB). We show enhancements for the register TCB, to improve its test coverage, to enable IEEE 1149.1 compliant RUNBIST and to optimize chip level TCB access. In addition, Test Control Expansion (TCE) is presented. TCE automatically val...

We show that developmental exposure of the laboratory rat to the coplanar polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) and the structurally similar congener 3,4,5,3',4'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PtCB) elevates dopamine (DA) concentrations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). To determine whether these coplanar congeners are estrogenic, and may thus contribute to the elevati...

Photodegradation of five strategically selected PCBs was carried out in acetonitrile/water 80:20. Quantum chemical calculations reveal that PCBs without any chlorine on ortho-positions are closer to be planar, while PCBs with at least one chlorine atoms at the ortho-positions causes the two benzene rings to be nearly perpendicular. Light-induced degradation of planar PCBs is much slower than th...

BACKGROUND The tissue culture banana (TCB) is a biotechnological agricultural innovation that has been adopted widely in commercial banana production. In 2003, Africa Harvest Biotech Foundation International (AH) initiated a TCB program that was explicitly developed for smallholder farmers in Kenya to help them adopt the TCB as a scalable agricultural business opportunity. At the heart of the c...

This paper presents a Chinese word segmentation system submitted to the closed training evaluations of CIPSSIGHAN-2010 bakeoff. The system uses a conditional random field model with one simple feature called term contributed boundaries (TCB) in addition to the “BI” character-based tagging approach. TCB can be extracted from unlabeled corpora automatically, and segmentation variations of differe...
