Wellness Tourism Experience on the Rise Post COVID

This chapter synthesizes the emergence of the growing wellness tourism segment in an era of post-COVID-19 travel when consumer mentality has been radically changed and shifted towards different needs. This includes any activity that allows tourists to work on themselves mentally or physically and present several considerations and recommendations for the wellness industry to take full advantage of tourism opportunities moving forward. It aims to help understand consumer behaviour and preferences by predicting wellness tourism trends and developments, acknowledging the gaps in the research available for understanding wellness tourism post covid and reflecting the experience economy perspective in the sector. A research method was developed, including a literature review and survey application to potential wellness tourists. Discussion of results is provided, along with main conclusions, allowing the identification of trends and development measures to help improve wellness tourism in a post-COVID era.

Author-sourced capture of pathway knowledge in computable form using Biofactoid

Making the knowledge contained in scientific papers machine-readable and formally computable would allow researchers to take full advantage of this information by enabling integration with other knowledge sources to support data analysis and interpretation. Here we describe Biofactoid, a web-based platform that allows scientists to specify networks of interactions between genes, their products, and chemical compounds, and then translates this information into a representation suitable for computational analysis, search and discovery. We also report the results of a pilot study to encourage the wide adoption of Biofactoid by the scientific community.

Scientific basis of appropriate sowing of wheat varieties on irrigated land of Uzbekistan

In the irrigated lands of Tashkent province, regionalized wheat varieties are usually planted at a rate of 250 kg/ha, but it would be possible to increase yields and grain quality if a scientifically based optimal sowing rate was recommended for each variety. Another opportunity to increase wheat yields in the region is the development of seed production. Numerous studies and practices have shown that it is possible to increase wheat yields by 20-25 by sowing wheat seeds. In this regard, the most pressing issue is to increase the level of seed germination. In this article, it is important to study the scientifically based sowing norms, physiological maturation of seeds, and their impact on yield and grain quality in order to take full advantage of the potential of regionalized varieties of wheat in irrigated lands. The determination of the most optimal planting norms, taking into account their biological properties, is based on research.

INSCRIBE - College Notes Sharing Application

The lecture is still the primary teaching and learning form in university and will remain so due to its cost effectiveness. However, student disengagement caused by the traditional didactic style of lecture - with its one-way information flow allowing little or no interaction - prevents students from taking full advantage of this learning paradigm. Some work has been done to address this issue by re-designing lectures to incorporate more lecturer-and student interaction, but has yet to be widely adopted. In this paper, we present a novel approach to applying a student centered collaborative learning pedagogy into the lecture environment through a novel real-time collaborative notes sharing application Group Notes on Smartphones to let students voluntarily engage themselves by means of student-to-student interaction and also with the faculty members. Preliminary student feedback has shown that the approach is pedagogically and technically feasible and students are quite open to this approach due to its learning-sharing factor and peer motivation. Keywords: Android, IOS, Dart - Flutter, encryption, collaboration, Smartphones, education.

A clock synchronization method in power dispatching based on BeiDou navigation system

This paper introduces the problems of poor signal condition of a single time source in time synchronization or error in time source switching in the power system. It adopts the two-clock mode timing scheme of BeiDou 2 synchronous satellite and GPS synchronous satellite to ensure the stable output of the main clock within a certain accuracy. The system takes full advantage of the field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware method, aligns the internal clock lock signal with the input second pulse phase, and proposes an improved method for the problem of large clock synchronization deviation based on the network, which proves the effectiveness and superiority of the system to accurately output the pulse and provide reliable time synchronization for the power dispatching system.

Taking full advantage of the diverse assemblage of data at hand to produce time series of abundance. A case study on Atlantic salmon populations of Brittany

Estimation of abundance with wide spatio-temporal coverage is essential to the assessment and management of wild populations. But, in many cases, data available to estimate abundance time series have diverse forms, variable quality over space and time and they stem from multiple data collection procedures. We developed a Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling (HBM) approach that take full advantage of the diverse assemblage of data at hand to estimate homogeneous time series of abundances irrespective of the data collection procedure. We apply our approach to the estimation of adult abundances of 18 Atlantic salmon populations of Brittany (France) from 1987 to 2017 using catch statistics, environmental covariates and fishing effort. Additional data of total or partial abundance collected in 4 closely monitored populations are also integrated into the analysis. The HBM framework allows the transfer of information from the closely monitored populations to the others. Our results reveal no clear trend in the abundance of adult returns in Brittany over the period studied.

Computational Thinking

There’s a lot more to digital health than being excited about digital computing. We need to learn how to think computationally to take full advantage of digital. Computational Thinking is the mature way to think about computing — and digital healthcare.

On normalized Laplacian, degree-Kirchhoff index of the strong prism of the dicyclobutadieno derivative of linear phenylenes

Phenylenes network is applied in several fields of chemistry sciences due to its advantages compared to other several columnar networks, recently. This paper aims to introduce a kind of networks which obtained by a family of dicyclobutadieno derivative of linear phenylene chain Ln which is made up of n hexagons and (n+1) quadrangles. Let L2n be the strong prism of the dicyclobutadieno derivative of linear phenylenes Ln. By taking full advantage of the knowleges about the normalized Laplacian spectra, we induce the explicit expressions, with respect to the index n, of the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and the number of spanning tree based on the graph L2n.
