Los resultados obtenidos de la Investigación de Mercado arrojaron diversos resultados, de los cuales se destacan, la mala utilización de Mewes, en relación a sus Canales de Comunicación como el Sitio Web Oficial, el cual es el único medio para promocionar el Servicio, la poca identificación de la Marca, como evidencia física, la falta de retroalimentación por parte de los Clientes y por último la no existencia de una política diferenciadora de precios en relación al Mercado, el cual es altamente competitivo, existiendo hoy en día más de 300 competidores en el rubro. A través de estos resultados se propusieron diferentes estrategias a corto mediano y largo plazo directamente relacionadas con las 7p de Servicios, La Flor de Servicios y el Modelo de Servucción, los cuales se propone su implementación por intermedio de un Plan de Marketing. El fin último de la Implementación de este Plan es lograr posicionar aún más a la Agencia dentro del Mercado, atraer nuevos Clientes y Retener y Fidelizar a la cartera de Clientes actuales, para poder incrementar las Ventas de la Agencia

    Magnetization Dynamics in Ultrathin Films and Multilayers

    No full text
    Electronic Thesis or DissertationRobust understanding of magnetization dynamics is very crucial to design and fabricate novelmaterials for next generation spintronic applications. A combination of experimental techniques and theoretical modeling facilitates fundamental research to establish new concepts. This dissertation discusses the magnetization dynamics of ultrathin films and multilayers using broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) techniques and micromagnetic simulations. Chapter one includes the theoretical background on magnetization dynamics, the explanation of FMR experiments with schematic diagrams and data analysis, and insight in micromagnetic simulations using the in-house developed MATLAB-based code M^3. All simulations are performed with M^3. Chapter one also includes a summary of various publications which I co-authored during my time as a graduate student in the Mewes’ Magnetics Laboratory at UA. Chapter two discusses the limitations of the macrospin model of materials with inhomogeneous perpendicular anisotropy. This is a micromagnetic study motivated from experimental FMR measurements of [Co/Ni]_N multilayers. Chapter three is devoted to experimental FMR measurements carried out on FeGa thin films. These results show significantly lower Gilbert damping and linewidth in comparison to previous publications in similar structures, indicating the high quality of these thin films. This is also confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements. These films are particularly interesting because of their well known superior magnetostrictive behavior. Motivated from previous FMR experiments in IrMn/CoFe and MnN/CoFeB exchange bias systems, we investigated the anisotropic damping in multilayer spintronic devices using micromagnetic simulations in chapter four. With the introduction of a damping tensor in the Landau-Lifshitz- Gilbert (LLG) equation, this study explains the observed unidirectional relaxation in IrMn/CoFe bilayers and co-existence of unidirectional and uniaxial relaxation in MnN/CoFeB bilayers

    Bounds on higher-order Lorentz-violating photon sector coefficients from an asymmetric optical ring resonator experiment

    Available online 7 August 2015Optical resonators provide a powerful tool for testing aspects of Lorentz invariance. Here, we present a reanalysis of an experiment where a path asymmetry was created in an optical ring resonator by introducing a dielectric prism in one arm. The frequency difference of the two fundamental counter-propagating modes was then recorded as the apparatus was orientation-modulated in the laboratory. By assuming that the minimal Standard-Model Extension coefficients vanish we are able to place bounds on higher-order parity-odd Lorentz-violating coefficients of the Standard-Model Extension. The results presented in this work set the first constraints on two previously unbounded linear combinations of d=8 parity-odd nonbirefringent nondispersive coefficients of the photon sector.Stephen R.Parker, Matthew Mewes, Fred N.Baynes, Michael E.Toba

    MPact: The MIPS protein interaction resource on yeast.

    No full text
    In recent years, the Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS) yeast protein-protein interaction (PPI) dataset has been used in numerous analyses of protein networks and has been called a gold standard because of its quality and comprehensiveness [H. Yu, N. M. Luscombe, H. X. Lu, X. Zhu, Y. Xia, J. D. Han, N. Bertin, S. Chung, M. Vidal and M. Gerstein (2004) Genome Res., 14, 1107-1118]. MPact and the yeast protein localization catalog provide information related to the proximity of proteins in yeast. Beside the integration of high-throughput data, information about experimental evidence for PPIs in the literature was compiled by experts adding up to 4300 distinct PPIs connecting 1500 proteins in yeast. As the interaction data is a complementary part of CYGD, interactive mapping of data on other integrated data types such as the functional classification catalog [A. Ruepp, A. Zollner, D. Maier, K. Albermann, J. Hani, M. Mokrejs, I. Tetko, U. Güldener, G. Mannhaupt, M. Münsterkötter and H. W. Mewes (2004) Nucleic Acids Res., 32, 5539-5545] is possible. A survey of signaling proteins and comparison with pathway data from KEGG demonstrates that based on these manually annotated data only an extensive overview of the complexity of this functional network can be obtained in yeast. The implementation of a web-based PPI-analysis tool allows analysis and visualization of protein interaction networks and facilitates integration of our curated data with high-throughput datasets. The complete dataset as well as user-defined sub-networks can be retrieved easily in the standardized PSI-MI format. The resource can be accessed through http://mips.gsf.de/genre/proj/mpact

    The Phenion (R) Full-Thickness Skin Model for Percutaneous Absorption Testing

    No full text
    In recent years many efforts have been made to replace dermal toxicity testing of chemicals in the animal by in vitro assays. As a member of a German research consortium, we have previously contributed to the validation of an in vitro test protocol for percutaneous absorption studies on the basis of reconstructed human epidermis and both human and pig skin ex vivo. Aiming to assess the barrier properties of a newly developed reconstructed skin model, this protocol has now been transferred to the Phenion (R) Full-Thickness Skin Model (FT model). The permeation of testosterone and caffeine was quantified in parallel to that of pig skin using Franz-type diffusion cells. In addition, the permeation of benzoic acid and nicotine was studied. As expected, the FT model is more permeable than pig skin, yet its barrier properties are well in accordance with those of reconstructed human epidermis when compared to previous data. In fact, the FT model most efficiently retards testosterone as the compound of highest lipophilicity, which can be explained by an additional uptake by a reservoir formed by the dermis equivalent. Thus, the structure closely parallels human skin. In consequence, the Phenion FT model appears to be suitable for percutaneous absorption studies in hazard analysis and should be subjected to a catch-up validation study. Copyright (C) 2009 S.

    Wolfgang Ketterle was honoured with the Nobel Prize in Physics (2001) at 44 years of biological age and at 20 years of research publishing career. He had 115 publications during 1982 – 2002 in domains: Bose-Einstein Condensation (68), Laser Spectroscopy (30), and Atomic Physics (17) which were analysed for authorship pattern with his 68 collaborators. Most active researchers having number of publications with Wolfgang Ketterle were : S. Inouye (26), A. P. Chikkatur (20), M. R. Andrews (19), D. M. Stampur-Kurn (18), D. S. Durfee (17), H. J. Miesner (17), D. E. Pritchard (17), H. Walther (12), M. O. Mewes (12), D. M. Kurn (12), C. Raman (12), J. Stenger (12), J. Wolfrum (11), A. Arnold (10), N. J. van Druten (10), A. Gorlitz (10), and S. Gupta (10). His productivity coefficient was 0.78 which clearly indicates that his productivity increased after 50 percentile age. Highest collaboration coefficient (1) for Wolfgang Ketterle was found in 1983-1985, 1988, 1991-1995, and 2001. The publication concentration was 5.21% and publication density was 2.01. The core journals publishing his papers were: Phys. Rev. Lett. (30), Applied Physics-B (7), Journal of Chemical Physics (5), Nature (5), Physics Review-A (5), and Science (5). Most prolific keywords in titles were: Bose-Einstein condensate (38), Bose-Einstein condensation (15), Observation (9), Helium hydride (8), Emission spectrum, (6) Suppression (4). The ‘biobibliometrics’ term is used for a method of retrieving and visualizing biological information that uses co-occurrence of gene naming terms in Medical Sciences to generate semantic links between genes. Therefore it is suggested that ‘Scientometric Portrait’ is the appropriate phrase for the studies on scientists and ‘Informetric Portrait’ for the studies pertaining to researchers in other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and social sciences
