The impact of Instagram campaign in the Six Senses Group in Douro valley

Rebelo Vieira, Jessica ; Schegg, Roland (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole de Gestion & Tourisme, 2020.

Social media is an essential marketing tool; platforms such as Instagram are important for companies as it gives a visual aspect for followers to identify themselves with. Through diverse researches, success factors have been identified and compared with results obtained by analyzing Six Senses Douro Valley’s strategy used on the platform. The aim is to determine the impact of Instagram...

Designing A New Tourist Product to Strengthen the Competitiveness of the Trient Valley

Jie, Liu ; Fumeaux, Dominique (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole de Gestion & Tourisme, 2020.

With demographic changes and competition from emerging destinations, lower- altitude small alpine destinations are facing unprecedented challenges to appeal to new tourist demands, such is the case of the Trient Valley—an alpine destination from the 18th century. The herein presented research study looks into the question—will there be a new opportunity for the Trient Valley by developing...

It Takes Two : Instrumenting the Interaction between In-Memory Databases and Solid-State Drives

Lerner, Alberto ; Kwak, Jaewook ; Lee, Sangjin ; Park, Kibin ; Song, Yong Ho ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: CIDR 2020, 10th Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, January 12-15, 2020, Online Proceedings, 2020, p. 1-8

In-memory databases rely on non-volatile storage devices for services such as durability and recovery. SSDs can provide the high-performance these services require. When performance problems occur, however, SSDs offer no mechanism to help analyze them. The only alternative is to instrument the database side of the problem and conjecture about what might be the cause of performance...

How circular dichroism in time- and angle-resolved photoemission can be used to spectroscopically detect transient topological states in graphene

Schüler, Michael ; Giovannini, Umberto De ; Hübener, Hannes ; Rubio, Angel ; Sentef, Michael A. ; Devereaux, Thomas P. ; Werner, Philipp

In: Physical Review X, 2020, vol. 10, no. 4, p. 041013

Pumping graphene with circularly polarized light is the archetype of light-tailoring topological bands. Realizing the induced Floquet-Chern-insulator state and demonstrating clear experimental evidence for its topological nature has been a challenge, and it has become clear that scattering effects play a crucial role. We tackle this gap between theory and experiment by employing microscopic...

Local Berry curvature signatures in dichroic angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy from two-dimensional materials

Schüler, Michael ; Giovannini, Umberto De ; Hübener, Hannes ; Rubio, Angel ; Sentef, Michael A. ; Werner, Philipp

In: Science Advances, 2020, vol. 6, no. 9, p. eaay2730

Topologically nontrivial two-dimensional materials hold great promise for next- generation optoelectronic applications. However, measuring the Hall or spin-Hall response is often a challenge and practically limited to the ground state. An experimental technique for tracing the topological character in a differential fashion would provide useful insights. In this work, we show that circular...

Potential future lakes from continued glacier shrinkage in the Aosta Valley Region (Western Alps, Italy)

Viani, Cristina ; Machguth, Horst ; Huggel, Christian ; Godio, Alberto ; Franco, Diego ; Perotti, Luigi ; Giardino, Marco

In: Geomorphology, 2020, vol. 355, p. 107068

Aosta Valley (Western Alps, Italy) is the region with the largest glacierized area of Italy. Like other high mountain regions, it has shown a significant glacier retreat starting from the end of the ‘Little Ice Age’ that is expected to continue in the future. As a direct consequence of glacier shrinkage, glacier-bed overdeepenings become exposed, offering suitable geomorphological ...

Quench dynamics and Hall response of interacting Chern insulators

Schüler, Michael ; Budich, Jan Carl ; Werner, Philipp

In: Physical Review B, 2019, vol. 100, no. 4, p. 041101

We study the coherent nonequilibrium dynamics of interacting two-dimensional systems after a quench from a trivial to a topological Chern insulator phase. While the many-body wave function is constrained to remain topologically trivial under local unitary evolution, we find that the Hall response of the system can dynamically approach a thermal value of the postquench Hamiltonian, even though...

How clonal are clones? A quest for loss of heterozygosity during asexual reproduction in Daphnia magna

Dukić, Marinela ; Berner, Daniel ; Haag, Christoph R. ; Ebert, Dieter

In: Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2019, vol. 32, no. 6, p. 619–628

Due to the lack of recombination, asexual organisms are predicted to accumulate mutations and show high levels of within‐individual allelic divergence (heterozygosity); however, empirical evidence for this prediction is largely missing. Instead, evidence of genome homogenization during asexual reproduction is accumulating. Ameiotic crossover recombination is a mechanism that could lead to...

Terahertz-driven phonon upconversion in SrTiO 3

Kozina, M. ; Fechner, M. ; Marsik, Premysl ; Driel, T. van ; Glownia, J. M. ; Bernhard, Christian ; Radovic, M. ; Zhu, D. ; Bonetti, S. ; Staub, U. ; Hoffmann, M. C.

In: Nature Physics, 2019, vol. 15, no. 4, p. 387–392

Direct manipulation of the atomic lattice using intense long-wavelength laser pulses has become a viable approach to create new states of matter in complex materials. Conventionally, a high-frequency vibrational mode is driven resonantly by a mid- infrared laser pulse and the lattice structure is modified through indirect coupling of this infrared-active phonon to other, lower-frequency...
