An 18S rDNA-Based Molecular Phylogeny of Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

2000

We have obtained a molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) by sequencing the 18S rDNA in 37 aphidiine taxa. Approximately 1857 nucleotides were sequenced in each species. Evolutionary relationships were established by comparing the results of maximum-parsimony, maximum-likelihood, and distance analyses. The most variable region of this gene, V4 (approx 403 nucleotides), was employed to establish the basality of the tribe Ephedrini within this subfamily. All phylogenetic reconstructions yielded trees with very similar topologies that confirmed the existence of two of the four traditionally accepted tribes, Ephedrini and Praini, but questioned the existence o…

The special issue on FDI and multinational corporations: An introduction

2019

Abstract This paper offers an introduction to the special issue on FDI and multinational corporations: http://www.economics-ejournal.org/special-areas/special-issues/fdi-and-multinational-corporations. It summarizes the contents of the five papers included, and relates them to the recent literature on the subject.

Ab initio Calculations of Bulk and (001) Surface F-centers in ABO3 Perovskites

2021

We analyzed systematic trends in BaTiO 3, SrTiO 3 , PbZrO 3 and SrZrO 3 bulk as well as very rarely performed (001) surface F-center ab initio calculations. The nearest neighbor atomic displacements around the bulk F-center in the ABO 3 perovskites are considerably smaller than the relevant neighbor atomic displacements around the (001) surface $F$ -centers. The $F$ -center electrons are more delocalized for the ABO 3 perovskite (001) surface $F$ -center than for the bulk $F$ -center. Our calculated formation energy differences between the BaTiO 3 , SrTiO 3 , PbZrO 3 and SrZrO 3 bulk and its (001) surface $F$ -centers triggers the $F$ -center segregation from the bulk crystal towards the AB…

Continuous Phase Transitions at Surfaces of CuAu Alloy Models — A Monte Carlo Study of Surface Induced Order and Disorder

1996

The influence of surface on phase transitions has found significant attention in recent years, and a number of excellent reviews exists. [1, 2, 3] A variety of complex phenomena occur which are also related to the physics of adsorption and wetting. The scenario of wetting requires three distinct phases, for instance the vacuum, the bulk phase and a third phase intervening in between at equilibrium. In case of surface induced disorder (SID, a film of disordered layers at the surface “wets” the bulk phase as the temperature approaches the bulk transition temperature T c,b. The transition at the surface may be continuous (standard critical wetting phenomena), and, as theoretically investigated…

Mapping 123 million neonatal, infant and child deaths between 2000 and 2017

2019

Since 2000, many countries have achieved considerable success in improving child survival, but localized progress remains unclear. To inform efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.2—to end preventable child deaths by 2030—we need consistently estimated data at the subnational level regarding child mortality rates and trends. Here we quantified, for the period 2000–2017, the subnational variation in mortality rates and number of deaths of neonates, infants and children under 5 years of age within 99 low- and middle-income countries using a geostatistical survival model. We estimated that 32% of children under 5 in these countries lived in districts that had attained ra…

Integrated marketing communication as a business management tool in the context of sustainable development

2018

AbstractThe problem of nowadays is that consumers lack information on food products, their composition and quality, nutritional value, packaging, its impact on the human health and environment, reuse and recycling possibilities, etc. Integrated marketing communications (IMC) as a business management tool may not only draw the consumers’ attention and incite a purchase, but also provide information and serve as a facilitator of consumers’ knowledge and competence on products, their nutritional value, use and utilisation. The goal of the research is to assess the impact of IMC for sustainability upon demand at Latvian food retail chains and the impact of the use of IMC for sustainability upon…

Gastronomic Tourism, an Opportunity for Diversifying the Tourist Offer in the Sibiu Area

1899

In the tourists’ motivation to choose a holiday destination, gastronomy is gaining important insights, which has led to an increasing supply of quality-based local products and a stronger market growth. Gastronomy has become one of the most dynamic segments on the international tourism scene. Gastronomic tourism begins to be viewed as a phenomenon as a new tourist product itself, due to the fact that more than one third of the expenses in the tourist offer of the destination are made food. This shows the importance of gastronomy in the quality of leisure experience. Gastronomic tourism gains more and more importance as motivating the future in choosing the holiday destination. Proof of this…
