...experienced the Cross-Race Effect (CRE) phenomenon. Before, I could never differentiate between East -Asians (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). My interest in Japanese culture motivated me to study about them and now I can differentiate a Japanese person from a Chinese or Korean person. A summary of what I did: My primary interest was to know that, “How was I able to differentiate between East Asians races just by studying and watching videos about them?” To get my answer I first started by research material available on the Cross-Race effect. To really understand CRE I read abstracts of 9 to 10 books. All in all it has been a pleasure in reading all those books especially D.T. Levin books which helped me in getting a convincing answer to my questions. Cross-Race Effect: The cross-race effect, also known as own-race bias (ORB), is a well established phenomenon in face recognition research. In brief, it has been found that individuals show superior performance in identifying faces of their own race when compared with memory for faces of another, less familiar race. Mechanisms underlying the Cross-Race Effect: Percept versus concept: CRE has been of interest to social psychologists for more than half a century. A number of theoretical explanations for this effect have been proposed but coming to agreement on a satisfying theoretical account for this effect has proven difficult. Perhaps, the longest standing explanation for the CRE is the perceptual expertise hypothesis...

...Markets (212) 309–3475 michael.popkin@towerswatson.com BACKGROUND The convergence market is alive and well. The property catastrophe reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) markets are witnessing this convergence along a spectrum and across a range of differing attributes. This paper will review this continuum across key characteristics in the catastrophe risk transfer arena. To provide a specific example, we will conclude with a brief case study of OakLeaf Re 2011 and describe where it fits across the various attributes. Though there are many ways to divide the market, we have chosen to break it into three main categories: reinsurance; collateralized reinsurance (CRE); and catastrophe bonds. We will cover the similarities and differences for the following topics: (1) type of collateral; (2) payment flow; (3) reinstatement; (4) collateral release & commutation; (5) premium adjustment; (6) fees & expenses; (7) risk analysis; (7A) tradability; and (8) trigger type. Multi-year vs. single-year contracts are not explored in depth in this paper because this is a feature that can be utilized in all three forms of execution. 1. Type of Collateral The nature of the collateral for the cedant varies depending on the type of protection they purchase. A cedant following the traditional reinsurance route takes the reinsurer’s “paper.” Though somewhat of an over-generalization, the value of the paper is a binary assessment from a credit perspective. Is the provider of that...

...three murine homologues Cdx1, Cdx2 and Cdx4 [2]. The Cdx gene products impact anterior-posterior vertebral patterning not only by direct regulation of Hox gene expression, but are also targets of non-Hox such as Wnt, Shh, RA and Notch pathways among others[3] [2]. The authors focus upon the Notch pathway, especially Notch ligand Dll1 as it is involved in intestinal differentiation. Cdx1 is responsible for the axial positional information and the null mutants have an abnormal axial patterning only and no overt intestinal phenotype [4, 5]. Cdx2 is important for trophoblast differentiation, axial patterning and extension, and morphological specification of gut endoderm [5]. Homozygous Cdx2 null mutants are peri-implantation lethal as the blastocyst fails to undergo uterine implantation [3]. The Cdx1-Cdx2 conditional mutants show an abnormal somite formation and an increase in the number of Goblet cells in the small intestine [2]. Both Cdx1 and Cdx2 are important for the maintenance of the intestinal epithelium in adults. Though there is considerably more information available about the different pathways that require Cdx function, the mechanisms behind it have not completely been understood. Hence, the authors wish to determine the Cdx-dependant mechanisms in the somites and the small intestine that control this phenotype seen in the Cdx1-Cdx2 mutants [2]. SUMMARY The authors used Cdx1-/-, Cdx2f/f, Dll1f/f, actin-Cre ErT and villin-Cre ERT mice to produce heterozygote mutants...

Kassim Department of Management and Marketing, College of Business and Economics, University of Qatar, Doha, Qatar, and Heung-Ja Hong Faculty of Sociology, Kansai University, Osaka, Japan Abstract Purpose – The paper aims to investigate both Western and Eastern corporate branding thoughts and examine the interrelation among four corporate branding dimensions (i.e. corporate name, image, reputation and loyalty) and their joint impact on consumers’ product evaluation. Design/methodology/approach – Building on extensive literature, a model of consumers’ product evaluation that includes the major determinants of corporate branding is proposed. Based on a sample of 218 Japanese and American consumers, structural equation modeling and general linear model analyses are used to test hypotheses. Findings – The research reveals that Japanese and American consumers have different perceptions with respect to the effect of corporate image and corporate loyalty. The corporate name was found to have a significant impact on corporate image and corporate reputation was found...

...MINICHROMOSOMES: THE NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGY FOR PLANT GENETIC ENGINEERING Genetic transformation occurs frequently in nature in prokaryotes. The transfer of genes from one organism to another is termed horizontal gene transfer1. For example, bacteria can acquire virulence factors, as well as antibiotic resistance genes, which may lead to the breakdown of the efficacy of antibiotics. Horizontal gene transfers are rare in higher eukaryotes, but years ago scientists found that a pathogenic bacterium, Agrobacterium, could transfer genes from its genome to its plant hosts, where expression of the transferred genes caused crown gall disease2. The development of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation, and direct transformation by biolistics, i.e., the high velocity delivery of DNA attached to metal particles, led to the first generation of transgenic plants and the rapid application of this technology to crop improvement. Genetic engineering as a driving force for modern agriculture Genetic engineering is a powerful tool for improving crop quality and productivity, and reducing labor and resource utilization of farming. For example, farmers saved up to an estimated 60% of costs for pest control by growing Bt (insect resistance) cotton in certain regions of the US in 1997, according to a USDA report3. The reduction of pesticide spray has other safety benefits for both the environment and humans. Because of these and other benefits, the adoption of three primary GE crops...

...COMPONENTS OF FITNESS RELATING TO BIATHLON The Biathlon was made up of a 200m swim followed by a 1km run. The components of fitness relating to this Biathlon were as follows: CARDIOVASCULAR / RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE Cardiovascular / Respiratory Endurance (CRE) is the ability of your body systems to gather, process and deliver oxygen to your muscles. Your cardiorespiratory system, which is made up of your heart, lungs and circulatory system, needs to work together efficiently. You need to have good CRE for aerobic exercise. The running and swimming legs of the biathlon are both aerobic exercises. The energy needed to do aerobic exercise is supplied aerobically which needs your heart and lung and blood system to supply oxygen to the working muscles throughout the biathlon. Since running and swimming in the biathlon are both aerobic activities, you have to have to have good CRE to succeed in the race. Especially to last the full 200m swim and then be able to continue on to do the 1km run. Having a high level of CRE delays the onset of fatigue aswell. This means that your work rate stays high so you can finish both the swimming and the running legs of the race without tiring out. 1. What training we did for this component? 2. How did it improve my performance? STAMINA Stamina is the ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy. The biathlete needs good stamina so that your body efficiently processes, delivers, stores and uses the energy...

...rights, what options they have, and the next steps they can take. By taking legal cases under the Sex Discrimination Act and the Equal Pay Act. These cases help to secure equal treatment for women and men in the areas of pay, pensions and caring. By publishing research and statistics about women's and men's lives. These show clearly and simply where change is needed. By running high-profile campaigns to change public opinion and the law. By investigating organisations or areas of life where sex discrimination is common.. 2. THE COMMISSION FOR RACIAL EQUALITY [CRE] The CRE's legal powers The CRE had statutory powers under the Race Relations Act 1976. These included powers to: • advise or assist people with complaints about racial discrimination, harassment or abuse • conduct formal investigations of companies and organisations where there is evidence of possible discrimination; if the investigation does find discrimination, the CRE can oblige the organisation to change the way it operates • take legal action against racially discriminatory advertisements, and against organisations that attempt to pressurise or instruct others to discriminate — such as employers instructing employment agencies not to send them applicants from ethnic minorities, or companies instructing their workers to discriminate in the way they provide goods or services • assist individuals to take judicial review action in order to challenge decisions made by public bodies, including their...

...1. Company Introduction - TSINGTAO Brewery Co., LTD History. Tsingtao Beer, one of the oldest brewery brands in China, can trace its colonial roots back to 1903, when German forces occupied Qingdao (Coastal city located in Shandong province in China). Beer businessmen from Germany and British founded the Tsingtao brewery factory in Qingdao and started to brew in the European way. Since Japan seized China from Germany during the First World War Japanese took the control of Tsingtao from Germans and run the company in effect until 1945. As the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949, Tsingtao became state-owned enterprise. It was privatized in 1990s with the formation of Tsingtao Brewery Company Ltd. and then issued H-shares in Hong Kong which were listed on the Stock Exchange in 1993, being the first domestic enterprise listed on an overseas stock exchange. Following this, in the same year Tsingtao issued A-shares in China, which were listed on SSE. Shareholders. When Tsingtao was listed on Hong Kong stock market, Anheuser-Busch, the world biggest brewery, acquired 4.5% of shareholding in order to enter Chinese market and extended its shareholding to 27% in 2002. As the Interbrew, Belgium brewery company, merged Anheuser-Busch in 2008, Japanese Asahi group replaced ABInBev’s position with about 20% of shareholding, which is the 2nd largest majority shareholder after Tsingtao Group. (Please see the appendix 1, “Shareholders”) Performance. At present, Tsingtao...
