An Empirical Study Of The Overall Satisfaction Of Hospitality Students Towards Library Services, Jyothi Mallya, Valsaraj Payini Dec 2018

An Empirical Study Of The Overall Satisfaction Of Hospitality Students Towards Library Services, Jyothi Mallya, Valsaraj Payini

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the significant dimension of LibQUAL+ that has a greater influence on hospitality students’ satisfaction towards the quality of the overall service provided by a library. Authors of this study have used a modified (a shorter performance-only) LibQUAL+ tool to measure the perceived service quality of a library. The data for this study is collected from both graduate and post-graduate students from a single hospitality institute in Karnataka, India. The regression analysis is used to test the hypotheses. “Affect of Service” emerged as a significant dimension accounting for hospitality students’ satisfaction. …

Culture As A System Of Shared Meaning: Exploring Intercultural Leadership Identity Through Practical Application, Emily Patrick Dec 2018

Culture As A System Of Shared Meaning: Exploring Intercultural Leadership Identity Through Practical Application, Emily Patrick

M.A. in Leadership Studies: Capstone Project Papers

This explorative, inductive, applied research study aims to examine the intersection of intercultural communication of values and leadership identities and capacities. Using existing and guiding cultural value theories, experiential learning techniques, meaning making ideologies, and adult learning principles, a two-and-a-half-hour intensive workshop was designed for a group of twenty-eight leadership and entrepreneurship students, predominantly Mexican nationals at the Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico, City. Specifically, the study demonstrates how culture affects leadership identities and capacities using the agreed-upon symbols, rituals, heroes and values that make up each culture’s perspectives, practices or applications of culture in everyday life. The expressed values …

Identification And Quantification Of Wave Breaking Effects In Single-Polarization Along-Track Insar Imagery Of The Coastal Ocean, Conor J. Smith Dec 2018

Identification And Quantification Of Wave Breaking Effects In Single-Polarization Along-Track Insar Imagery Of The Coastal Ocean, Conor J. Smith

Open Access Dissertations

Spaceborne Along-Track Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (along-track InSAR) has been used successfully to produce estimates of the surface current velocity field on a number of occasions. Along-track InSAR data are comprised of two complex images with a very short time lag, with each pixel containing an amplitude and phase. The phase difference allows a direct measurement of the line-of-sight velocity of the Bragg scattering ripples, which includes contributions of the horizontal surface current as well as the phase velocity of the Bragg ripples and orbital motions of longer waves. To calculate the surface current field, the complicated wave-related contributions to …

The Ukrainian Crisis: An Eclectic Analysis, Christian Brodermann Dec 2018

The Ukrainian Crisis: An Eclectic Analysis, Christian Brodermann

Open Access Theses

The Ukraine Crisis is a complex and nuanced situation in the modern day. The interactions between the various actors involved in it, from the Western powers, to Ukraine and Russia themselves are examined by examining the secondary literature using an eclectic theoretical framework combining Constructivism and Neorealism. The Russian and Ukrainian socio-political frameworks are used as points of reference for the positions they play not just in the crisis, but in Russia and Ukraine’s relationship over time. This shared history of the two nations informs us of the social construction of the identity of what it means to be Russian …

Method For Determining Clay Minerals Content In Soil, A Akhatov, G. A. Akhmetkanova Dec 2018

Method For Determining Clay Minerals Content In Soil, A Akhatov, G. A. Akhmetkanova

Irrigation and Melioration

The paper describes a new method for determining clay minerals (hydromica) content in soils. In 100% of total mineral mass, the content of clay minerals estimated by the calculated method is 60.2%; chlorite -11.4%; kaolinite - 7%; montmorillonite - 21.4%. The method described in the paper makes it possible to determine the interzone and intertype distribution of clay minerals in soils, the humus content in soil, etc. It is proposed to determine the clay mineral content in the silty fraction using Fe2O3, K2O, and other silicate oxides. As an example of calculation, brown soils of the mid-mountain belt of the …

Irrigation and Melioration

The problem of dramatically changing river flow in the reaches of hydro-technical structures is considered in the paper. The discharge capacity of these structures is determined by the well-known formula of a spillway with a wide threshold based on the Saint-Venant system of equations. It was stated that the Froude number in an undisturbed flow increases at the narrowing of the channel and decreases with its widening, and in a turbulent flow the Froude number decreases with the narrowing of the channel, and increases with its widening. Proceeding from this, the transition of a flow from a calm regime to …

Study Of Dynamic Behavior Of Earth Dams Considering The Dam Base, M. M. Mirsaidov, E. S. Toshmatov, S. M. Takhirov Dec 2018

Study Of Dynamic Behavior Of Earth Dams Considering The Dam Base, M. M. Mirsaidov, E. S. Toshmatov, S. M. Takhirov

Irrigation and Melioration

The methods have been developed for solving various dynamic problems for inhomogeneous viscoelastic "structure-base" systems taking into account wave entrainment of energy, i.e. non-reflecting conditions at the boundary of the finite site of the base. The dynamic behavior and the stress-strain state of the inhomogeneous “viscoelastic dam-elastic base” system using wave entrainment of energy through the boundaries of the finite site of the base under short-term intense effect in the base are investigated.

Strain Characteristics Of Soils And The Methods Of Their Determinatio, K. S. Sultanov, P. V. Loginov, Z. R. Salikhova, S. M. Takhirov

Irrigation and Melioration

A method is proposed for determining the strain characteristics of soils under dynamic loads, based on the results of experiments on dynamic compression of soils in laboratory conditions on a device of dynamic loading and for solving a wave problem, the statement of which is identical to the statement of the experiment. With the proposed method, the dynamic and static compression moduli, the unloading modulus, the viscosity coefficient of loess soil in the range of seismic loads were determined in accordance with the elastic-viscoelastic soil model developed by G.M. Lyakhov.

Effect Of Bedload Sediment Natural Composition On Geometric And Dinamic Characteristics Of Channel Forms, N. M. Ikramov, T. Sh Majidov, A. G. Khodzinskaya Dec 2018

Effect Of Bedload Sediment Natural Composition On Geometric And Dinamic Characteristics Of Channel Forms, N. M. Ikramov, T. Sh Majidov, A. G. Khodzinskaya

Irrigation and Melioration

The article brings up data on sediment diversity at watercourse bed and on their movement in the form of ridges. The ridge form movement of sediment leads to the reduction of reservoir volume and canal cross section area, which has an effect on their carrying capacity, filling of pump station forechambers and hydroelectric station pressure basins with sediment. The presence of sediment in flow leads to abrasive deterioration of pumps, water motors and pressure pipes and to other negative consequences. Research work tasks on the study of these effects have been examined with the purpose of preventing such negative consequences. …
