Dr. Yawei Wang is an Associate Professor and Chairperson of Hospitality and Tourism at Montclair State UniversityThe green concept and management have also been well-recognized strategies to promote a hotel’s competitive advantage. Based on a sample of 43,312 hotels from 328 destinations in 28 countries, we empirically examined antecedents of TripAdvisor’s GreenLeader participation. Our binary logit model indicates that hotels with better online reputations, larger size, lower level of urbanization economies, and higher reliance on business travelers are more likely to join the GreenLeader program. For GreenLeader hotels, online reputation factors and hotel size also explain their ranks. Lastly, implications are discussed

Joint Space Trajectory Planning of Python - Based Delta Robot
No full textRobot trajectory planning is the core to achieve high - speed and high - precision running. Reasonable robot trajectory planning not only needs to meet the requirements of the kinematics, but also needs to meet the requirements of the dynamics. Under the same conditions of drive motor, increasing the speed and load of robot is the difficulty of robot trajectory planning. The robot will be analyzed in depth by advanced python software in this paper. In the joint space, the trajectory by polynomial of degree five is fitted. And dynamic models are added to the trajectory planning. The fitting curves show that the displacement, velocity, acceleration and jerk are continuous and derivable in the joint space and work space. In each time period of peak torque, peak power tends to the same value. The speed and the life of the moving parts are improved effectively

Lessen uit Shanghai voor de financiering van moeilijke projecten
No full textEen vervuild bedrijventerrein, een verlaten haven: gemeenten die een moeilijk stedelijk transformatieproject willen uitvoeren, ondervinden onvermijdelijk problemen met de financiering ervan. Gelukkig bieden innovatieve vormen soelaas, stelt TU Delft-onderzoeker Yawei Chen. Zij keek naar de financiering van vier moeilijke herontwikkelingsprojecten in Shanghai, zoals via private leningen en aandelen, en bespreekt de mogelijkheden hiervan voor de Nederlandse praktijk.Urban Development Managemen
Microcephaly Gene Links Trithorax and REST/NRSF to Control Neural Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
Get PDFMicrocephaly is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing significantly reduced cerebral cortex size. Many known microcephaly gene products localize to centrosomes, regulating cell fate and proliferation. Here, we identify and characterize a nuclear zinc finger protein, ZNF335/NIF-1, as a causative gene for severe microcephaly, small somatic size, and neonatal death. Znf335 null mice are embryonically lethal, and conditional knockout leads to severely reduced cortical size. RNA-interference and postmortem human studies show that ZNF335 is essential for neural progenitor self-renewal, neurogenesis, and neuronal differentiation. ZNF335 is a component of a vertebrate-specific, trithorax H3K4-methylation complex, directly regulating REST/NRSF, a master regulator of neural gene expression and cell fate, as well as other essential neural-specific genes. Our results reveal ZNF335 as an essential link between H3K4 complexes and REST/NRSF and provide the first direct genetic evidence that this pathway regulates human neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation.Stuart H.Q. and Victoria Quan Fellowship Fund in Neurobiology (Fellowship)National Institutes of Health (U.S.).

Measurement of the target single-spin asymmetry in quasi-elastic region from the reaction ³He↑(e, e̷̷̷̷)
No full textA measurement of the inclusive target single-spin asymmetry, A[subscript y] ³He, has been performed using the quasi-elastic ³He↑(e, e̷̷̷̷) reaction with a vertically polarized ³He target at Q̷̷̷̷² values of 0.13, 0.46 and 0.97 GeV̷̷̷². This asymmetry vanishes under the one photon exchange assumption. But the interference between two-photon exchange and one-photon exchange gives rise to an imaginary amplitude, so that a non-zero A[subscript y] is allowed. The experiment, conducted in Hall A of Jefferson Laboratory in 2009, used two independent spectrometers to simultaneously measure the target single-spin asymmetry, A[subscript y] ³He. Using the effective polarization approximation, the neutron single-spin asymmetries, $A[superscript n, subcript y], were extracted from the measured ³He asymmetries. The measurement is the first to firmly establish a non-vanishing A[subscript y]. Non-zero asymmetries were observed at all Q̷̷̷̷² points, and the final overall precision is an order of magnitude improved over the existing proton data. The data provide new constraints on Generalized Parton Distribution (GPD) models and new information on the dynamics of the two-photon exchange process.Ph.

Economics, cost and quality from a design perspective
No full textThe department of MBE was originally called Real Estate & Project Management (BMVB: ‘Bouwmanagement & Vastgoedbeheer’) covering the domains of construction management and real estate management. The “raison d’être” for this new department was based on the recognition that a fair amount of architecture graduates were more interested in managing a building’s design and construction process than in its actual design. These students, however, were not taught management theories and skills at that time. As a result, they would end up in the construction industry poorly equipped for doing the job they were required to do. This lack in education was addressed by our new department. Our graduates are multi-disciplinary schooled, not only in architectural design, computational design and management theories and skills, but very importantly also in building economics. The research domain Building Economics comprises research on the market and the value of buildings, and the relationship between quality and revenues, and costs and fi nance (Soeter et al., 2009). In the real estate market, the space market is interlinked with the asset market and the construction market. The Building Economy research programme analyses the real estate portfolios of investors. In what type of properties do they invest and what are the returns, risk profi les and outcomes? A crucial aspect in this is the expected rental income. To a large extent, the research focuses on the rent level and return on investment, in connection to location and building characteristics (quality) (see for instance Koppels et al., 2009, 2011). A guideline for studies on costs and quality is the consideration that organisations are interlinked with their location and buildings. An optimal solution for accommodation depends on the selected approach. For example, with a lowest cost approach, a minimum of investment costs, running costs and life-cycle costs are sought after, usually resulting in low values as well. Research on the relationship between cost, quality, and willingness-to-pay is important to understand and steer on costs and quality.Real Estate Managemen
