Hotel and Guest Room Technology

Hotels are utilizing a variety of technologies in the guest room and throughout the hotel. Artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), robots, cobots (collaborative robots), and chatbots are changing the service experience and hotel operations. Technology is redefining how we interact with the guest at all touchpoints, and how we manage employees and processes in hotel operations. Hotel and guestroom technologies provide increased management tools and data, to predict reservation demand, guest needs, and even when equipment might fail. While hotel technologies are increasingly automated, the use of technology is balanced by the consumer’s desire for the human touch in service. Adoption of hotel technologies is also limited by costs, the hotel workforce, and hotel organizational and ownership structures

'SNORTER' DWARFISM IN THE BOVINE

An examination of the karyotypes of female homozygous normals, homozygous dwarfs of the 'snorter' type, and heterozygotes in Hereford cattle, using the leucocyte culturing technique, revealed no differences between the three. The karyotypes of an unclassified group of phenotypically normal males were similar except for the male determining chromosome. The latter was clearly shown in the karyotypes to be of the submetacentric X type and about [Formula: see text] the size of the larger X type chromosomes. </jats:p

SOME SKIN CHARACTERISTICS OF "SNORTER" DWARFISM IN THE BOVINE

Four characteristics, namely, skin thickness, the number of sweat glands per square centimeter of skin, the volume of sweat glands and the depth at which these sweat glands were located were investigated in the three genotypes of Hereford cattle.Of the four characteristics studied, only skin thickness differed significantly among the three genotypes. The dwarfs had the thinnest skin and the normal animals had the thickest skin. The heterozygotes showed intermediate values. No significant differences were revealed among the three genotypes for the other three characteristics. </jats:p

CYTOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF CHROMOSOMAL TRANSLOCATIONS IN THE TOMATO: PREFERENTIAL BREAKAGE IN HETEROCHROMATIN

A tester set of eight translocations has been selected involving all 12 chromosomes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Using the entire tester set, seven other translocations were identified. Five others were identified, using information from crosses with certain of the testers and with additional translocations. Three lines are homozygous for two translocations (2 04 in the heterozygotes). There are several instances in which more than one stock involves the same two chromosomes. Cytological analyses of tomato translocations show that breakages that give rise to translocation chromosomes occur more frequently in centromeric and heterochromatic regions than in euchromatic and are not distributed according to pachytene chromosome length. A list of available tomato translocations with information on mode of production, source, and breakpoints is included.</jats:p
