A note on the proof of magnetic flux quantization from ODLRO

It is noticed that the excellent proof of the connection of magnetic flux quantization and off-diagonal long range order (ODLRO) presented recently by Nieh, Su and Zhao suffers from an imperfection, namely, the f-factors in the case of finite translation do not satisfy $f(a)f(b)=f(a+b)$, which was employed in the proof. A corrected proof is proposed to remedy this point.Comment: 6 pages, LATEX, no figure

The Landmark on Film: Representations of Place and Identity

This paper examines two documentary essays focusing on landmark architecture in the transnational Øresund region comprising Copenhagen and Malmö. I argue that the motif of construction and deconstruction is congruous to our understanding of the ways identities are negotiated vis-à-vis spatial experience. In the lms, the multiple trajectories of characters of diverse nationalities and cultures are woven into the (de)construction of the landmark structures, producing a visual space that interrogates what ‘identity’ means in an increasingly networked and global world

Classifying Multilingual Text in Quality Assurance

Machine learning systems play an important role in helping and assisting engineers in their daily activities. Many jobs can now be automated, and one of them is in handling and processing customers’ complaints before they could proceed with failure investigation. In this paper, we discuss a real-life challenge faced by the manufacturing engineers in a life science multinational company. This paper presents a step by step methodology of multilingual translation and multiclassification of Repair Codes. This solution will allow manufacturing engineers to take advantage of machine learning model to reduce the time taken to manually translate row by row and verify the Repair Codes in the file

The limitations of musical fit effects

This thesis examines the limitations of the impact of musical fit on consumers‟ behavior. Musical fit is a recent concept in the literature, concerning how a correspondence between the properties of a product and those of concurrent background music can influence choice between competing products or prime recall of those products. The first chapter reviews theories concerning the impact of music on consumer behaviour. Seven further chapters follow, each describing one or two lab-based experiments. The first study showed that musical fit cannot influence preferences between utilitarian products. Studies 2, 3 and 4 found that musical fit influenced consumers only when they do not have pre-existing product preferences and are motivated to consider competing products. Study 5 found that musical fit influenced product choices only when consumers had limited (rather than ample) time in which to consider competing products. Studies 6 and 7 suggested that musical fit operates by priming product-related thoughts: it led to greater recall of associated products and to these products being recalled more quickly. The concluding chapter summarises the findings, describes the limitations of the research (and provides guidance for future research), and addresses the theoretical and practical implications of the current work

Regional screen ecosystems at the peripheries: Production and talent development in Tromsø and Aarhus

This article addresses the regionalisation of screen culture in Norway and Denmark, focusing on how regional screen entities in Tromsø and Aarhus are working to professionalise production and talent development at the peripheries of both countries. We outline their distinctive characteristics and circumstances as regional hubs and delineate the key actors that constitute the respective screen ecosystems. We analyse the interplay between regional film policy, production, and talent development in relation to regional development, geography, creativity, innovation, and the economy of culture. Based on an analysis of policies, strategy documents, and interviews conducted with practitioners in Aarhus and Tromsø over the period 2014–2019, we explore the diverse strategies that these regional production hubs employ to develop and—more challengingly—retain talents in the region, and argue that despite the increased attention given to ‘diversity’ in film policy, structural and cultural obstacles remain in the way of sustainable growth

The effects of employer knowledge and product awareness of job seekers' application decision

This present study attempts to discover the relational influence of product awareness and employer knowledge to give insight to job seekers? application decisions. Cable and Turban?s (2001) employer knowledge framework was proposed as a conceptual model to formulate hypotheses about the effects of employer familiarity, employer reputation and job information on job seekers? decision to pursue or accept an employment offer. The results suggested that product awareness and the three dimensions of employer knowledge significantly contributed to applicants? job pursuit decisions. The findings of this study were derived from a sample of 280 final-year pursuants of hospitality and tourism courses at four tertiary schools located in the Klang Valley. As a further measure to verify the employer knowledge model, it was discovered that the relationship between job seekers? employment decisions and job information were particularly high. Findings gathered from this context indicated that the framework of employer knowledge warrants further investigation

The effectiveness of a floor gully with grating to prevent the oviposition of aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linneaus): a laboratory study

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a floor gully come with grating to prevent the oviposition of Aedes aegypti in the floor trap. In order to conduct the test, two containers were placed into a mosquito cage (30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm). Both containers were filled with declorinated seasoned tap water and covered with floor gully c/w grating and normal floor gully, respectively. A total of 50 gravid Ae. aegypti females were then released into the cage and left for a week. All the eggs obtained from the test were allowed to remain inside the containers for the eggs to hatch. The number of hatched larvae was counted and recorded. Five replicates were conducted concurrently. There was a significant difference of Ae. aegypti larvae obtained between container with floor gully c/w grating and normal floor gully (p < 0.05). A total of 96.41% reduction of Ae. aegypti larvae was obtained in the container with floor gully c/w grating compared with the normal floor gully, indicating that the floor gully c/w grating used in this study was able to prevent oviposition of Ae. aegypti in holding water
