Visitation to the major nature-based national parks has been declining. This paper specifies an econometric model that estimates the relative impact of consumer incomes, travel costs, entry fees and ...other factors on per capita attendance from 1993 to 2010. Results suggest that entrance fees have had a statistically significant but small impact on per capita attendance. Increasing fuel prices (travel costs) relative to income has had a more significant effect suggesting that park policies reducing the cost of attendance may be desirable.
A series of five Re(pyNHC‐aryl)(CO)3X complexes varying the “X” ligand where pyNHC is a pyridyl N‐heterocyclic carbene have been synthesized and characterized through NMR, UV/Vis absorption ...spectroscopy, IR, mass spectrometry, time‐correlated single photon counting, computational analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor with these complexes is evaluated using a simulated solar spectrum (AM 1.5G). Comparison of Br and CH3CN as the “X” ligand shows the same photocatalytic activity (both 32 TON). The use of Cl, NCS and P(OEt)3 “X” ligands all led to diminished reactivity with as little as 2 TON for the P(OEt)3 complex. These results were rationalized through computational analysis of “X” dissociation and excited‐state lifetime measurements. These results highlight the importance of the “X” ligand selection on catalysis with Re‐pyNHC complexes.
An in‐depth look at a series of rhenium‐based photocatalysts with a pyridyl‐NHC ligand framework that facilitate the reduction of CO2 to CO. The importance of selecting an appropriate “X” ligand is described through detailed photocatalytic, electrochemical, computational, and photophysical studies which reveal a weakly binding “X” ligand is key to catalysis.
Abstract
Era Society 5.0, requires the logistics agents to adapt and follow technology development to create supply chain efficiency. One of the ways is to apply the IoT to warehousing activities, ...creating a system design Warehouse Tracking app that works to increase order picking time efficiency. This system design application method is using the System Development Live Cycle (SDLC) and follows Object-oriented programming (OOP). This final result study is a system design application based on the IoT and QR codes for operating order-tracking goods in a warehouse. With this Tracker Stuff (T-UFF) app, the time it takes for order picking will be decreased so that it can create activity-efficient logistics for the company.
Solitude may be positive or negative, depending on situational and personal factors. From prior research, nine types of solitude were identified. Based on data from a questionnaire study of ...undergraduate participants, factor analysis suggests that these nine types can be reduced to three dimensions, two positive and one negative. These are, respectively, Inner-Directed Solitude (characterized by self-discovery and inner peace), Outer-Directed Solitude (characterized by intimacy and spirituality), and Loneliness. Personality and value correlates, as well as situational correlates, of the various types of solitude also were explored.

Decouvrez le dernier ecrit de Thomas More, alors emprisonne a la tour de Londres.Lorsque Thomas More ecrit ce livre, il vit sa propre passion avant son martyr. Il sait et accepte d'aller tout droit a ...l'echafaud par amour de son Seigneur qui est sa seule verite et sa seule vraie liberte, par respect de sa conscience avec laquelle il ne peut transiger. Alors il contemple et medite la Passion, celle du Christ, pour y trouver sens, joie et bonheur pour la sienne. Plus que cela, c'est le mystere meme de l'Incarnation, fruit de la meditation de toute une vie qui s'exprime dans ce texte comme un veritable testament spirituel. Thomas More, prisonnier, s'identifie peu a peu et de plus en plus a son Seigneur tout amour. Comme le Christ, le futur martyr nous fait partager sa tristesse et son angoisse, mais sublimes par l'amour et la confiance.La Tristesse du Christ clot le parcours personnel de l'auteur de l'Utopie, parue en 1516. Il permet de decouvrir, non seulement de nombreuses facettes de celui que le pape Pie XI, qualifia d'Uomo Completo lors de sa canonisation en 1935, mais encore plus le cheminement spirituel de l'un des plus grands humanistes chretiens confronte a sa propre passion.Cette edition enrichie des commentaires de Jacques Mulliez et Xavier de Bengy, membres de l'association Amici Tomae Mori, montre avec pertinence l'extraordinaire actualite de cette meditation pour notre temps ou tant d'hommes et de femmes vivent des situations perilleuses ou leur conscience est mise a l'epreuve. Elle nous apporte aussi un temoignage de simplicite de vie au quotidien et de juste distance par rapport aux evenements, quels qu'ils soient, qui surviennent dans l'existence.Un texte tesmamentaire redige avec tout le genie du grand ecrivain.EXTRAITDernier ouvrage de Thomas More, La Tristesse du Christ est un tresor. Et comme tout vrai tresor, il n'a pas d'age. Vieux de presque un demi-millenaire, il parle aujourd'hui a chaque chretien, nourrissant notre foi et eclairant notre chemin vers le Christ, chemin dont la Passion, la Croix et la Resurrection sont le sommet.Ce texte sort de la prison de la Tour de Londres en cachette. Il est conserve et dissimule dans les premiers temps de l'Eglise anglicane, epoque tres anti-romaine et donc tres anti-More, lui qui est execute en martyr pour avoir refuse la confusion du temporel et du spirituel, comme victime d'un roi voulant devenir chef de l'Eglise de son pays. Le texte original1 reapparait en 1963 en Espagne, par les hasards de Dieu qui sont les chemins de la Providence.CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUEVeritable testament, puise au cA ur de l'Evangile, ou l'on retrouve la richesse, la simplicite et l'amitie du grand genie que fut saint Thomas More. - Abbaye du BarrouxA PROPOS DES AUTEURSJacques Mulliez est un ancien dirigeant d'entreprise, ancien President des EDC (Entrepreneurs et Dirigeants Chretiens) d'Ile de France. Engage au sein de l'association Internationale des Amici Thomae Mori et de celle des Amis d'Etty Hillesum.Xavier de Bengy, marie et directeur industriel, a trouve avec saint Thomas More, homme complet et plein d'humour, un exemple et une intimite spirituelle qu'il approfondit jour apres jour et souhaite partager.
ABSTRACT**: This paper tests the crowding‐out hypothesis for a balanced panel of nonprofit performing arts organizations between 1998 and 2003. This research uses a number of model specifications ...and estimating techniques to appropriately capture the relationship between government grants and private donations. Under alternative specifications, the relationship between government grants and private donations suggests crowding‐in between $0.14 and $1.15. The crowd‐in relationship does change according to art type: symphony orchestras and music companies experience a modest crowd‐in while dance and ballet companies experience a small crowd‐out. Although the crowd‐in falls to zero under the strictest condition, there is a lack of evidence of crowd‐out for nonprofit performing arts organizations as a group.
The History of King Richard the Third is Thomas More's English
masterpiece. With the help of Shakespeare, whose Richard the Third took More's work
as its principal model, the History determined the ...historical reputation of an
English king and spawned a seemingly endless controversy about the justness of that
reputation. George M. Logan has produced a scholarly yet
accessible edition of the History, designed to make More's exhilarating work fully
accessible to 21st-century readers. More's text is presented here with modern
English spelling and punctuation, and with full annotation of linguistic
difficulties and the historical background. The text is preceded by a general
introduction, a chronology, and suggestions for further reading. An appendix
reprints passages from key sources and analogues, enabling the reader to see how
More worked with his English sources and classical models, and finally how
Shakespeare worked with More.
