A través de la consecución de estos objetivos, se espera que este proyecto de grado proporcione una hoja de ruta clara y detallada para el crecimiento y la penetración de mercado de Sunset Sipper en Bogotá. La estrategia digital propuesta se basará en un análisis exhaustivo del mercado, la competencia y el público objetivo, así como en la identificación de oportunidades y la implementación de tácticas innovadoras que permitan a la marca alcanzar sus metas de crecimiento y posicionamiento. 5 Este proyecto de grado se estructura en varias etapas, cada una de las cuales abordará uno de los objetivos específicos planteados. En primer lugar, se llevará a cabo una investigación exhaustiva del mercado y la competencia, lo que permitirá identificar el perfil del nicho de mercado y las oportunidades de diferenciación. A continuación, se explorarán las posibles colaboraciones estratégicas y se evaluarán los canales de venta más adecuados. Posteriormente, se estimará la inversión necesaria para la expansión en Bogotá y se definirá un modelo financiero que optimice los costos. Finalmente, se presentará la estrategia digital integral propuesta, que incluirá las tácticas de posicionamiento, visibilidad y crecimiento recomendadas para Sunset Sipper. Se espera que este proyecto de grado contribuya de manera significativa al éxito de Sunset Sipper en el mercado bogotano, proporcionando una base sólida para su crecimiento y consolidación como marca líder en su nicho. Asimismo, se espera que este trabajo sirva como referencia para otras marcas emergentes que buscan expandir su presencia en el mercado a través de estrategias digitales innovadoras y efectivas

    Reduction by the positive allosteric modulator of the GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor, GS39783, of alcohol self-administration in Sardinian alcohol-preferring rats exposed to the &ldquo;sipper&rdquo; procedure

    The present study was designed to evaluate (a) alcohol self-administration behavior of selectively bred, Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats exposed to the so-called &ldquo;sipper&rdquo; procedure (characterized by the temporal separation between alcohol-seeking and -taking phases), and (b) the effect of the positive allosteric modulator of the GABAB receptor, GS39783, on alcohol self-administration in sP rats exposed to this procedure. To this end, sP rats were initially trained to lever-respond under a reinforcement requirement (RR) 55 (RR55) for alcohol. Achievement of RR55 resulted in the 20-min presentation of the alcohol (15%, v/v)-containing sipper bottle. Once stable levels of lever-responding and alcohol consumption were reached, rats were treated with 0, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg GS39783 (i.g.) 60 min before the self-administration session. Rats displayed robust alcohol-seeking (as suggested by relatively short latencies to the first lever-response and high frequencies of lever-responding) and -taking (as suggested by alcohol intakes averaging approximately 1.5 g/kg) behaviors. Pretreatment with GS39783 inhibited both alcohol-seeking (the number of rats achieving RR55 and the mean RR value were virtually halved) and -taking (the amount of self-administered alcohol was reduced by approximately 60%). The results of the present study suggest the power of the &ldquo;sipper&rdquo; procedure in triggering high levels of alcohol-seeking and -taking behavior in sP rats. Further, these results extend to this additional procedure of alcohol self-administration the capacity of GS39783 to reduce the motivational properties of alcohol and alcohol consumption in sP rats

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    A Simple Cellular Automation that Solves the Density and Ordering Problems

    No full text
    Cellular automata (CA) are discrete, dynamical systems that perform computations in a distributed fashion on a spatially extended grid. The dynamical behavior of a CA may give rise to emergent computation, referring to the appearance of global information processing capabilities that are not explicitly represented in the system's elementary components nor in their local interconnections.1 As such, CAs o?er an austere yet versatile model for studying natural phenomena, as well as a powerful paradigm for attaining ?ne-grained, massively parallel computation. An example of such emergent computation is to use a CA to determine the global density of bits in an initial state con?guration. This problem, known as density classi?cation, has been studied quite intensively over the past few years. In this short communication we describe two previous versions of the problem along with their CA solutions, and then go on to show that there exists yet a third version | which admits a simple solution

    Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses

    No full text
    Following an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
