Standardized Hudup dataset based on Film Trust data
Standardized Hudup dataset receives information from raw data, which is composed of ten units such as “hdp_config”, “hdp_account”, “hdp_attribute_map”, “hdp_nominal”, “hdp_user”, “hdp_item”, “hdp_rating”, “hdp_context_template”, “hdp_context”, and “hdp_sample”. Each unit has particular functions, which is described in the section of data description. Hudup dataset is meta-data which models any raw data with abstract level. The raw data which is source of Hudup dataset here is Film Trust data. It is possible to consider that Hudup dataset is secondary data whereas Film Trust is primary data. The raw rating data Film Trust has 35,497 ratings from 1,508 users on 2,071 films (items), which is available at https://guoguibing.github.io/librec/datasets/filmtrust.zip

Increased invasive potential of non-native Phragmites australis: Elevated CO2 and temperature alleviate salinity effects on photosynthesis and growth
The prospective rise in atmospheric CO2 and temperature may change the distribution and invasive potential of a species; and intraspecific invasive lineages may respond differently to climate change. In this study, we simulated a future climate scenario with simultaneously elevated atmospheric CO2 and temperature, and investigated its interaction with soil salinity, to assess the effects of global change on the ecophysiology of two competing haplotypes of the wetland grass Phragmites australis, that are invasive in the coastal marshes of North America. The two haplotypes with the phenotypes 'EU-type' (Eurasian haplotype) and 'Delta-type' (Mediterranean haplotype), were grown at 0‰ and 20‰ soil salinity, and at ambient or elevated climatic conditions (700 ppm CO2, +5 °C) in a phytotron system. The aboveground growth of both phenotypes was highest at the elevated climatic conditions. Growth at 20‰ salinity resulted in declined aboveground growth, lower transpiration rates (E), stomata conductance (gs), specific leaf area, photosynthetic pigment concentrations, and a reduced photosynthetic performance. The negative effects of salinity were, however, significantly less severe at elevated CO2 and temperature than at the ambient climatic conditions. The Delta-type P. australis had higher shoot elongation rates than the EU-type P. australis, particularly at high salinity. The Delta-type also had higher maximum light-saturated rates of photosynthesis (Asat), maximum carboxylation rates of Rubisco (Vcmax), maximum electron transport rates (Jmax), triose phosphate utilization rates (Tp), stomata conductance (gs), as well as higher Rubisco carboxylation-limited, RuBP regeneration-limited and Tp-regeneration limited CO2 assimilation rates than the EU-type under all growth conditions. Our results suggest that the EU-type will not become dominant over the Delta-type, since the Delta-type has superior ecophysiological traits. However, the projected rise in atmospheric CO2 and temperature will alleviate the effects of salinity on both phenotypes and facilitate their expansion into more saline areas. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd
Photosynthesis of co-existing Phragmites haplotypes in their non-native range: Are characteristics determined by adaptations derived from their native origin?
The Gulf Coast of North America (GC) is a 'hot spot' of Phragmites diversity as several lineages (defined according to the haplotypes of their chloroplast DNA) differing in origin, genetic traits and phenotype co-exist and interbreed in this area. We analysed differences in photosynthetic characteristics among and within four haplotypes to understand if differences in gas exchange can be attributed to adaptations acquired in their native ranges. We collected rhizomes of four GC haplotypes (I2, M1, M and AI; including the phenotypes 'Land-type', 'Delta-type', 'EU-type' and 'Greeny-type') and propagated them in a common controlled environment to compare photosynthesis- irradiance responses, CO2 responses, chlorophyll fluorescence, the activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rubisco), specific leaf area (SLA), pigment contents, stomatal density and guard cell length. The maximum light-saturated photosynthetic rate, Amax, in the haplotype I2 (Land-type) and haplotype M1 (Delta-type) (34.3-36.1 μmol CO2 m-2 s1) was higher than that in the invasive Eurasian haplotype M (22.4±2.3 μmol CO2 m-2 s 1). The Amax of haplotype AI (Greeny3-type) was 29.1±4.0 μmol CO2 m-2 s1 and did not differ from the Amax of the other haplotypes. The carboxylation rate (Vcmax) and electron transport rate (Jmax) followed the same pattern as Amax. The haplotypes also differed in SLA (17.0-24.3 m2 kg-1 dry mass) and pigment content, whereas stomatal density and guard cell length, Rubisco activity and chlorophyll fluorescence did not differ significantly among haplotypes. The high photosynthetic activity and gas-exchange capacity of the two haplotypes originating in tropical Africa and the Mediterranean area (haplotypes I2 and M1) are apparently adaptations derived from their native ranges. Hence, the haplotypes can be regarded as ecotypes. However, it remains unclear how these differences relate to plant competitiveness and fitness in the GC of North America environment. © 2013 The Authors
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Developing sustainable marketing plan for plant-based products
By developing a sustainable marketing strategy, the aim of this study was to raise awareness of plant-based alternatives to meat while also promoting sustainability and green values in the food industry, restaurant, and café industry. The author focusses on discussing about the concept of sustainability, sustainability marketing and the tools of marketing in order to attract more customers towards sustainability products. The theory part of this thesis focusses on the concept of sustainable marketing, the benefit of switching to plant-based product, the impact of meat industry to the environment.
In this thesis, the author has conducted a semi-structured interview to gain in-depth knowledge about operating system and sustainable practice theoretically and practically.The outcome of this study could give an idea for restaurant owner an idea on how to develop a sustainable marketing plan
