"Howdy Amigo," brochure on Los Lunas, New Mexico, ca. 1960's.
No full text"Howdy Amigo" was a pamplet that contained a brief history of Los Lunas and information on local transportation, utilities, shopping, schools, churches, sports, and industry, ca. 1960's. Los Lunas Mayor Howard Simpson was known to distribute these flyers to persons inquiring about the area. Barbara D'Spain, a member of the Los Lunas Jaycettes and daughter of Mayor Simpson, sponsored the project, Jesse Harman, pen name Jesse Morris, gathered and wrote the material for the brochure, and First National Bank of Belen published it. It was then mailed out to local businesses to entice growth and development in the area
Suitability of soxhlet extraction to quantify microalgal fatty acids as determined by comparison with in situ transesterification
No full textAuthor Posting. © The Author(s), 2011. This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of Springer for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Lipids 47 (2012): 195-207, doi:10.1007/s11745-011-3624-3.To assess Soxhlet extraction as a method for quantifying fatty acids (FA) of microalgae, crude lipid, FA content from Soxhlet extracts and FA content from in-situ transesterification (ISTE) were compared. In most cases, gravimetric lipid content was considerably greater (up to 7-fold) than the FA content of the crude lipid extract. FA content from Soxhlet lipid extraction and ISTE were similar in 12/18 samples, whereas in 6/18 samples, total FA content from Soxhlet extraction was less than the ISTE procedure. Re-extraction of residual biomass from Soxhlet extraction with ISTE liberated a quantity of FA equivalent to this discrepancy. Employing acid hydrolysis before Soxhlet extraction yielded FA content roughly equivalent to ISTE, indicating that acidic conditions of ISTE are responsible for this observed greater recovery of FA. While crude lipid derived from Soxhlet extraction was not a useful proxy for FA content for the species tested, it is effective in most strains at extracting total saponifiable lipid. Lipid class analysis showed the source of FA was primarily polar lipids in most samples (12/18 lipid extracts contained 15%). This investigation confirms the usefulness of ISTE, reveals limitations of gravimetric methods for projecting biodiesel potential of microalgae, and reinforces the need for intelligent screening using both FA and lipid class analysis.2012-11-0
Fluid-mediated sources of granular temperature at finite Reynolds numbers
No full textWe derive analytical solutions for hydrodynamic sources and sinks to granular temperature in moderately dense suspensions of elastic particles at finite Reynolds numbers. Modelling the neighbour-induced drag disturbances with a Langevin equation allows an exact solution for the joint fluctuating acceleration–velocity distribution function P(v′,a′;t). Quadrant-conditioned covariance integrals of P(v′,a′;t) yield the hydrodynamic source and sink that dictate the evolution of granular temperature that can be used in Eulerian two-fluid models. Analytical predictions agree with benchmark data from particle-resolved direct numerical simulations and show promise as a general theory from gas–solid to bubbly flows.This article that has been published by Cambridge University Press as Lattanzi, Aaron M., Vahid Tavanashad, Shankar Subramaniam, and Jesse Capecelatro.

Impact of service quality on customer satisfaction
No full textTitle: Impact of service quality on customer satisfaction. Case study: Liberia Revenue Authority Level: Master Thesis in Business Administration Author: Ehigie Clifford Johnson, Jesse S. Karlay Supervisor: Maria Fregidou-Malama Examiner: Akmal Hyder Date: May 2018 Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse how service quality affects customer satisfaction. Method: To fulfil the aim of this study, an inductive qualitative research method was employed. . Results and conclusions: Responsiveness, empathy and assurance are influential to customer satisfaction. Price of service is the most influential variable on customer satisfaction. . The digitalization of taxation services fosters the likelihood of taxpayers paying their taxes on time and consistently. Suggestions for future research: We recommend future research on the impact of e-tax payment on revenue generation in Liberia Revenue Authority. We suggest a similar kind of research be conducted in other governmental organizations in developing countries. Finally, we suggest a future research on the impact of culture on service quality in government organizations. Contributions of the thesis: This thesis has shown that the most influential service quality dimension on customer satisfaction are responsiveness, empathy and assurance. This is in contrast to empathy, reliability and assurance as observed by Khan & Fashi (2014); Kaura, Datta & Vyas (2012); Naidoo (2011, 2014); Jayasundara et al.(2009); Aga & Safakli (2007) and Ismail et al.(2006). .. This thesis also shows that price of service is the most influential variable on customer satisfaction in developing nations.

Free Zone Incentives in MERCOSUR Countries and WTO Law
No full textPublished source: Gabriel Gari, 'Free Zone Incentives in MERCOSUR Countries and WTO Law' (2011) 6 Global Trade and Customs Journal, Issue 5, pp. 223–244
ID: GTCJ2011031This article examines the consistency of the incentives offered by free zone regimes in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay with World Trade Organization (WTO) law. It suggests that some of the incentives offered to free zone users are inconsistent with the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) because they constitute a ‘subsidy’ within the meaning of the ASCM, subject de iure or de facto to export performance, most notably, exemptions of direct taxes, exemptions of custom duties on the import of capital goods, exemptions of payment of social welfare charges, unqualified exemptions on payment of indirect taxes, and the possibility to supply goods or services to free zone users at promotional rates. By contrast, this article suggests that there are no significant inconsistencies between free zone incentives and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) but warns that the situation could change in the future if, as a result of multilateral negotiations, MERCOSUR countries opt for extending their GATS commitments to new sectors and modes of supply

Designing 3d-Printed Deployable Structures With Shape Memory Polymers
No full textThe aim of this project was to get a better understanding of the shape memory behaviour of 3D-printed polymers, and the different parameters which affect this, with the ultimate goal to apply shape memory in product design. This project started with a literature study on shape memory polymers and 3D-printing. The material properties, different types of shape memory and different actuation methods were investigated, as well as different 3D-printing techniques and using shape memory polymers in 3D-printing. Existing applications and concepts using shape memory polymers, as well as recent studies in applying these materials were also investigated. In parallel to the literature study, testing was done on the influence of different parameters on the shape memory behaviour of one of the most common FDM 3D-printing materials: PLA. Through an iterative process, a test sample was designed which was used to test parameters related to material (different types of PLA), manufacturing (printing settings), and design (geometry and orientation of models). Knowledge gained through the literature research and testing was combined to create design guidelines for manufacturing shape memory objects using 3D-printing. To demonstrate how the shape memory capabilities of 3D-printed PLA could be applied in product design, A product concept was developed. With a vision as a starting point, ideation and concept development was started by first having a brainstorm session with different people to learn how people not involved with the project envisioned shape memory in product design. Moving on from this, useful results from this session were taken into an ideation phase, where a multitude of different ideas were thought up. From these ideas, four were chosen to be developed into concepts, of which one was chosen to be further developed into a physical prototype. The chosen concept was a wake-up light which uses the heat of the lightbulb inside the lamp to heat the shape memory material and initiate shape recovery, which resulted in the lamp gradually giving off more light. This would wake up the user in a natural way. The concept, which was given the name ‘’DAWN’’, was developed into a physical demonstrator, and the shape memory parts were printed based on the established guidelines. This also served as a test for the guidelines to see how they could be applied in the design process. After testing several printed prototype parts, a final design for the demonstrator was created and produced. At the end of the project, the process and results were evaluated and recommendations were given for further research into 3D-printing shape memory objects.Integrated Product Desig
Observed cloud morphology and inferred microphysics over the South Pacific from MISR and MODIS measurements of shortwave reflectivity
No full textA rapid study of boundary layer clouds over the Southern Ocean compared to their Northern Hemisphere counterparts reveals statistical differences in the probability of glaciation at the same cloud-top temperature, and in the respective plane parallel albedo biases. The preliminary study indicates that a more comprehensive study of these features is merited, with a view to improving the cloud parameterizations currently used in climate models.VoR - Version of Recor
