Non-profit event marketing: case study of Do práce na kole 2013
No full textThe thesis Social Event Marketing in Non-Profit Sector: Case Study of Do práce na kole 2013 aims to illustrate the specific environment of motivational campaigns supporting the growth of urban cycling. The grounds of UCC (Urban Commuter Cycling) act as a crossection of several communication theory and practice fields, which are examined. The non-profit Do Práce Na Kole (Bike To Work) campaign acts as an example, threading together social and event marketing, while encompassing aspects of CSR, company culture and gamification. This work describes the characteristics of the overall UCC problematic and the connected social trends, the author describes aspects of communication, that have been overlooked or might have been developped further. This work draws out the specifications, the history and communicational goals of Do Práce Na Kole 2013, the event is further analysed based on it's concept and realisation. It analyses it's main focus and lays ground for possible ways of development of it's communication strateg

Popular E(fnod) and E(λ^2) criterion have been used as a measure of non-orthogonality for the designs generated. The algorithm also ensures that no two columns in the designs generated are fully aliased. A catalogue of 120 optimal supersaturated designs for different number of factors m, design runs n, with 5 ≤ n < 16 runs, and different number of factor levels q, with 3 < q < 6, has been prepared. All the designs generated are fnod-optimal; some designs are λ^2-optimal too.Not Availabl

Tydskrif Vir Letterkunde, 41(2):142-156, doi:10.4314/tvl.v41i2.29680.The original publication is available at https://journals.assaf.org.zaIn this article - the text of the annual P.J. Nienaber Memorial Lecture which was held at Stellenbosch on 11th March 2004 - the author mentions the important bibliographies and lists of sources which Nienaber published and which served as the necessary data and preliminary spadework for the writing of a history of Afrikaans literature. He outlines the main task of the literary historian and refers to the controversy that arose after the publication of his own work in the 1980s. He mentions other publications in the field of literary history, including Michael Chapman's Southern African Literatures, and in conclusion formulates his own vision of what a history of literature ought to be.https://journals.assaf.org.za/index.php/tvl/article/view/5005Publisher's versio
Discrete frequency chemical imaging with stimulated Raman scattering microscopy
No full textChemical imaging, the process of using chemically-specific label-free light-matter interactions as a contrast mechanism for imaging or microscopy, is a powerful set of tools for performing investigations where the distribution of chemical constituents within a specimen is of importance. This can include the locations of distinct cell types within a tissue biopsy, the distribution of oriented molecules within a polymer sample, or the concentration of a dissolved analyte in a fluidic system. Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) spectroscopies have gained increasing attention in recent years, as they represent a class of techniques which affords high-resolution, z-stack capable, not-perturbative, rapid chemical imaging. Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is particularly attractive because a linear response to analyte concentration allows for quantitative investigation. Unlike more traditional vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption and spontaneous Raman scattering, CRS instruments are often operated in a single-frequency or limited bandwidth fashion and investigate only one small piece of the specimen’s vibrational spectrum at any given time. This difference has implications for experimental design, imaging protocols, and subsequent data analysis. Nevertheless, the increasing interest in and apparent utility of these tools is driving many implementations of chemical imaging towards this ‘discrete-frequency’ approach. Here, we describe the construction and deployment of an SRS microscope, followed by the evaluation of this technology as a tool for the label-free classification of tissue biopsies. Additionally, we explore applications which are better-suited to the specific strengths of this imaging modality, namely those which benefit from 3D volumetric imaging or the investigation of aqueous systems, both of which are not achievable with most implementations of infrared absorption measurements.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Matthew Kole, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-16 at 19:45.The student, Matthew Kole, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-04-16 at 19:56.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-04-18 at 11:27.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10786 on 2017-08-10 at 15:05:39Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T20:32:57Z (GMT).

Dysfunkcyjna nostalgia? Mikroświat bazaru na warszawskim Kole
No full textThe study that the author conducted with his students was based on in-depth interviews and participant observation. It posed a series of questions concerning place, people, objects and interactions within the space of Warsaw’s flea market in the city’s Koło neighborhood. The goals of this research were (1) to capture the social specificity of this place and (2) to identify the functions that the market fulfills in the lives of the community that sustains it. A thesis that emerged during the study is that the more the vendor community idealizes its past, the less effectively it performs its integrative functions in the present. In other words, the more it is “imagined” and “suspended” in a lost past, the more detrimental this becomes for the community. The study focuses on the issue of nostalgia, which, although it partly unites the vendor community, is fundamentally dysfunctional for it.Badanie, które autor przeprowadził wraz ze swoimi studentami, zostało oparte na wywiadach pogłębionych i obserwacji uczestniczącej. Obejmowało szereg pytań o miejsce, ludzi, rzeczy i interakcje w przestrzeni warszawskiego targu staroci (bazaru na Kole). Jego celem było:(1). uchwycenie społecznej specyfiki tego miejsca, a także (2) określenie funkcji, jakie bazar pełni w życiu społeczności, która go tworzy. W trakcie badania wyłoniła się teza, że im bardziej wspólnota sprzedawców idealizuje swoją przeszłość, tym słabiej wypełnia swoje funkcje integracyjne w teraźniejszości. Innymi słowy: im bardziej jest „wyobrażona” i „zawieszona” gdzieś w utraconej przeszłości, tym dla niej gorzej. Badanie ogniskuje się na zagadnieniu nostalgii, której oddziaływanie, jakkolwiek częściowo łączy społeczność kupców, to zasadniczo jest dla niej dysfunkcjonalne

On the Rain-Wind Induced Vibrations of a Mass-Spring System
No full textIn this report, the rain-wind induced vibrations of cables are studied. This is done by modeling the cable cross-section as a mass-spring system with two time-varying masses. Thereafter, the solution of this model is approximated using a multiple timescale perturbation method. Lastly, for some choicesof the time-varying masses the eigenfrequencies are analyzed, stability properties are derived, and approximations of the solutions are given
Constructing level-2 phylogenetic networks from trinets
No full textPhylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary trees that can be used to represent reticulate events. Level-k phylogenetic networks are such networks, but with a at most k reticulations per biconnected component of the network. For level-1 networks there exists an algorithm, called TriLoNet (Trinet Level-one Network algorithm), that constructs these networks directly from sequence alignments which works by piecing together smaller level-1 networks on three taxa. Here, we introduce TriL2Net (Trinet Level-2 Network algorithm), an algorithm similar to TriLoNet that works for the larger class of level-2 networks. More specifically, TriL2Net constructs a level-2 phylogenetic network from a set of level-2 trinets. We show that TriL2Net performs better on sampled level-2 networks than TriLoNet performs om sampled level-1 networks. We hypothesize that this result is either due to the different ways the data is sampled, or the difference in heuristics used. Moreover, we applied TriL2Net to level-1 trinet sets derived from real sequence data involving recombination. When comparing the networks generated by TriL2Net from these data sets to the networks generated by TriLoNet from these same data sets, we found that TriL2Net’s networks are at least as consistent with the input as TriLoNet’s networks. TriL2Net has been implemented in Python and is freely available at https://github.com/KSjors/TriL2Net.Applied Mathematic

No full textNot AvailableThis article describes a general method of construction of supersaturated designs for asymmetric factorials obtained by exploiting the concept of resolvable orthogonal arrays and Hadamard matrices. The supersaturated design constructed here has a restricted form of t.q^ξ // n, where ξ factors are at q-levels each and one factor is at t-levels and the number of runs is n. The designs obtained have the factor at t-levels always orthogonal to the ξ factors with q levels each in the symmetric design q^ξ // n. The method of construction is illustrated with the help of examples. A catalogue of designs obtained is prepared and f_NOD-efficiency and chi-square-efficiency of the designs are given. Many designs are optimal while other designs have high efficiencies. The efficiency of the resulting design is better than that of the symmetric design q^ξ // n.Not Availabl
