Franchising Model for Expansion of the International Travel Business
The hotel sector of the travel industry is the leader according to the indicator of economic growth, which is observed in both developed and developing countries. Even under the economic instability and global natural disasters, the industry has seen growth in recent years. The franchising model for expanding activities is central to all successful hotel chains.
The article deals with the franchising model for the travel business expansion and the economic performance of hotel chains such as Marriott International, Wyndham Hotels, and Hilton. They hold a prominent place in the global hotel business, have a steady tendency to expand their business, hold high positions in the ranking of the best franchises in the world and have been recognized by experts.
The main risks for the franchisor and franchisee are determined when making a decision on the expansion of the international travel business, which must be taken into account when developing new markets for hotel chains. The main advantages of the franchising model of expansion, which promote understanding between the parties of the franchise agreement, dynamicize hotel chains expansion and allow for reducing their expenses and increasing incomes.
It was found that the growth of net profit and total income in the indicated hotel chains was due to the increase in the number of rooms in franchising and the positive dynamics of franchise income. A more dynamic pace occurred after the crisis growth in revenues from the franchisee compared with the managerial model. A closer relationship between revenues and key financial indicators has been proved when using a franchising model

Influence of retardation effects on 2D magnetoplasmon spectrum
Within dissipationless limit the magnetic field dependence of magnetoplasmon
spectrum for unbounded 2DEG system found to intersect the cyclotron resonance
line, and, then approaches the frequency given by light dispersion relation.
Recent experiments done for macroscopic disc-shape 2DEG systems confirm theory
expectations.Comment: 2 pages,2 figure

Effect of gas flow on electronic transport in a DNA-decorated carbon nanotube
We calculate the two-time current correlation function using the experimental
data of the current-time characteristics of the Gas-DNA-decorated carbon
nanotube field effect transistor. The pattern of the correlation function is a
measure of the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensors and suggest that
these gas flow sensors may also be used as DNA sequence detectors. The system
is modelled by a one-dimensional tight-binding Hamiltonian and we present
analytical calculations of quantum electronic transport for the system using
the time-dependent nonequilibrium Green's function formalism and the adiabatic
expansion. The zeroth and first order contributions to the current
and are calculated, where is the Landauer formula. The formula for the time-dependent current
is then used to compare the theoretical results with the experiment.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures and 2 table
First-principles calculations of the Berry curvature of Bloch states for charge and spin transport of electrons
Recent progress in wave packet dynamics based on the insight of Berry
pertaining to adiabatic evolution of quantum systems has led to the need for a
new property of a Bloch state, the Berry curvature, to be calculated from
first principles. We report here on the response to this challenge by the ab
initio community during the past decade. First we give a tutorial introduction
of the conceptual developments we mentioned above. Then we describe four
methodologies which have been developed for first-principle calculations of
the Berry curvature. Finally, to illustrate the significance of the new
developments, we report some results of calculations of interesting physical
properties such as the anomalous and spin Hall conductivity as well as the
anomalous Nernst conductivity and discuss the influence of the Berry curvature
on the de Haas–van Alphen oscillation
Acoustoelectric current and pumping in a ballistic quantum point contact
The acoustoelectric current induced by a surface acoustic wave (SAW) in a
ballistic quantum point contact is considered using a quantum approach. We find
that the current is of the "pumping" type and is not related to drag, i.e. to
the momentum transfer from the wave to the electron gas. At gate voltages
corresponding to the plateaus of the quantized conductance the current is
small. It is peaked at the conductance step voltages. The peak current
oscillates and decays with increasing SAW wavenumber for short wavelengths.
These results contradict previous calculations, based on the classical
Boltzmann equation.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

Localization in non-chiral network models for two-dimensional disordered wave mechanical systems
Scattering theoretical network models for general coherent wave mechanical
systems with quenched disorder are investigated. We focus on universality
classes for two dimensional systems with no preferred orientation: Systems of
spinless waves undergoing scattering events with broken or unbroken time
reversal symmetry and systems of spin 1/2 waves with time reversal symmetric
scattering. The phase diagram in the parameter space of scattering strengths is
determined. The model breaking time reversal symmetry contains the critical
point of quantum Hall systems but, like the model with unbroken time reversal
symmetry, only one attractive fixed point, namely that of strong localization.
Multifractal exponents and quasi-one-dimensional localization lengths are
calculated numerically and found to be related by conformal invariance.
Furthermore, they agree quantitatively with theoretical predictions. For
non-vanishing spin scattering strength the spin 1/2 systems show
localization-delocalization transitions.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX, 4 figures (postscript
