Abstract:

The Robot Operating System (ROS) is one of the most used software framework to develop robot applications. Although it is possible to reuse packages and code from other ROS projects, ROS applications remain low level and reasoning at a higher level of abstraction is not possible. Using Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) in the context of ROS applications would allow to increase the accessibility of ROS, leverage the reusability of packages and supply validation of the software earlier in the design, using formal methods. For instance, formal verification methods would improve the overall dependability of robotic systems. Our view is that we should increase the abstraction of the systems through models using MDE methodology in order to enable the use of formal methods on ROS applications. In this paper we do a first step toward this and propose a comparative study of existing modeling alternatives aiming to help roboticists to smoothly adopt MDE. This study compares the use of modeling in ROS systems in three different ways: by means of direct UML modeling, a ROS UML profile and a ROS Domain-Specific Language. That allows us to pick the solution that better fits our needs.

Abstract:

What potential will the fit-for-purpose land administration concept have of working in the Republic of South Africa? This question is asked against the existence of a high-quality cadastre covering most of the South African landmass. However, a large proportion of the people living in South Africa live outside of this secure land tenure system. Many citizens and immigrants reside on communal land, in informal settlements, in resettled communities, in off-register housing schemes, and as farm dwellers, labour tenants and other occupants of commercial farms. Reasonable estimates suggest that there are more than 5 million land occupations that exist outside the formal land tenure system and hence outside the formal land administration system. This paper looks at the current bifurcated system and considers how the application of the fit-for-purpose land administration system can expand the existing cadastral system and provide security of tenure that is beneficial and acceptable to all. It demonstrates that, not only could it work, but it is also considered to be necessary. This paper uses South Africa as a case study to demonstrate how adjustments to institutional, legal and spatial frameworks will develop a fully inclusive, sufficiently accurate land administration system that fits the purpose for which it is envisioned. These country-specific proposals may well be of international interest to assist with the formulation of fit-for-purpose land administration systems being developed in other countries.

Abstract. Current map viewers that run on modern web browsers are mainly requesting images generated on the fly in the server side and transferred in pictorial format that they can display (PNG or JPEG). In OGC WMS standard this is done for the whole map view while in WMTS is done per tiles. The user cannot fine tune personalized visualization or data analysis in the client side. Remote sensing data is structured in bands that are visualize individually (manually adjusting contrast), create RGB combinations or present spectral indices. When these operations are not available in map browsers professional are forced to download hundreds of gigabytes of remote sensing imagery to take a good look at the data before deciding if it fits for a purpose. A possible solution is to create a web service that is able to perform these operations on the server side (https://www.sentinel-hub.com). This paper proposes that the server should communicate the data values to the client in a format that the client can directly process using two new additions in HTML5: canvas edition and array buffers. In the client side, the user can interact with a JavaScript interface changing symbolizations and doing some analytical operations without having to request any data again to the server. As a bonus, the user is able to perform queries to the data in a more dynamic way, applying spatial filters, creating histograms, generating animations of a time series or performing complex calculations among bands of the different loaded datasets.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTCurrently, the mechanism in which informal institutions, recently discovered as an influential, new paradigm in business and management studies interact with and shape formal institutions remains unclear. Helmke and Levitsky (2004) proposed an outcome-based typology for the interaction of informal institutions with formal ones. By using a structured approach for literature aggregation, we test the proposed typology of Helmke and Levitsky by applying this method to 74 empirical studies to investigate the influence of guanxi on formal institutions. We conclude that guanxi fits into none of the proposed categories perfectly. As a result, we propose the relationship between guanxi and formal institutions as auxiliary as well as competing concurrently, leading to convergent and divergent outcomes, respectively. Moreover, we propose a third category to add to the existing typology, namely ‘formal institutions in transition’. We furthermore incorporate a dynamic aspect to the model by adding two further categories, concerned with the direction of the development. We believe the resulting extension to the original typology of Helmke and Levitsky accurately accounts for the dynamic nature of informal institutions as well as their important role in shaping effective formal institutions.

Abstract:

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a personality for the robotic user interface “iCat”. An application was developed that helps users find a TV-programme that fits their interests. Two experiments were conducted to investigate what personality users prefer for the robotic TV-assistant, what level of control they prefer (i.e. how autonomous the robot should behave), and how personality and the level of control relate to each other. The first experiment demonstrated that it is possible to create convincing personalities of the TV-assistant by applying various social cues. The results of the second experiment showed that an extravert and agreeable TV-assistant was preferred over a more introvert and formal one. Overall, the most preferred combination was an extravert and friendly personality with low user control. Additionally, it was found that perceived level of control was influenced by the robot’s personality. This suggests that the robot’s personality can be used as a means to increase the amount of control that users perceive.

Abstract:

Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code has many shortcomings. One of the most persistent, yet understudied, problems judges face in chapter 9 is also a problem that exists in other areas of bankruptcy law: the sheer difficulty of applying generalized plan confirmation standards to wildly different, highly specialized entities. In practice, judges have turned to experts—individuals well versed in municipal finance, mediation, and the particular debtor com-munity—to help overcome this problem in chapter 9. These experts often per-form critical roles in a municipal bankruptcy case, including conducting mediations, investigating the municipality’s finances, and even helping to craft the municipality’s plan of debt adjustment. Despite the important roles experts play in bankruptcy, their appointment and selection process receives little attention, and the scope of their role is often ill defined. This Article highlights the concerns that arise due to the lack of proce-dures surrounding experts in municipal bankruptcy. After exploring the bene-fits and pitfalls associated with using experts in chapter 9 and elsewhere, this Article provides detailed guidance for designing formal procedures for select-ing, appointing, and using experts in chapter 9.

Abstract:

Abstract The era of big data in oncology has led to the promise of precision medicine for individual patients. However, many therapy decisions continue to be made based on “one size fits most” approaches, primarily since there exist few theoretical and practical tools to deal with a patient’s data over time. In parallel with this growing interest in personalized medicine, cancer is being increasingly recognized as an eco-evolutionary system that adapts to treatments, suggesting that static therapy regimens are often doomed to eventual failure. Here, we present preliminary results from a novel pilot clinical trial (NCT04343365), the Evolutionary Tumor Board (ETB), which uses eco-evolutionary theory (based on experiments and modeling) to assist with clinical decision making for each patient. We developed an informational and computational framework for applying evolutionary therapy approaches to individual patients in a dynamic fashion, using their clinical data in real time. The framework relies on detailed data curation and imaging measurements for each patient, as well as a mathematical modeling approach that accounts for multi-lesion tumor growth, treatment-induced death, and the evolution of resistance. The models are calibrated by historical datasets of similar patients, as well as the patient’s own temporal data. We use a “Phase i trial” approach to account for prediction uncertainty and provide decision support for therapy options available to the patient at any given time point. Crucially, this is presented in a way that harmonizes with the treating oncologist’s intuition. Fifteen patients at Moffitt have been enrolled into the ETB, many of whom have proceeded through the entire process, including follow-up analysis. The ETB generated outcome predictions and therapy recommendations for each case, and subsequent follow-up predictions and recommendations. Our current results demonstrate that the ETB approach has provided both novel and useful decision support for the clinicians. At the same time, numerous opportunities for further research and development have been identified. Our efforts show that there are both challenges and opportunities in the area of personalized therapy, particularly in the context of real-time clinical care. Early results from the ETB show great promise for improving patient outcomes in cancer using mathematical modeling and evolutionary therapy.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the antecedents of volunteer commitment and intention to remain volunteering for the same event in the future, in the context of two annually held Norwegian cycling race events. Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional design was used, applying a questionnaire that was developed and distributed to the cycling events volunteers both in hard copies and as online format by QuestBack. Findings – The volunteers were motivated by egoistic, altruistic, connection to the sport, and external factors. They were highly committed and intended to remain as a volunteers in the future events. Older age; satisfaction from their own contribution and type of work, from recognition; and motivation as personal connections to the sport predicted commitment. Higher levels of education, commitment, and motivation by personal connections to the sport predicted intention to remain as a volunteer for future events. A factor-based structure of sport event volunteer satisfaction was presented, which, to the best of the knowledge is the first of its kind. Research limitations/implications – The study should be replicated across several events to test the external validation of the models. Practical implications – This understanding of motivation and satisfaction can be beneficial for the management of volunteers in order to retain the experienced and motivated volunteers and to ensure the continuation of the event in the future. Originality/value – The study adds new knowledge to the research field by presenting an extensive, updated literature review, development of a fist factor-analysed scale for volunteer satisfaction, and the first application of the model including volunteer demographics, satisfaction, motivation, and commitment in predicting intention to remain volunteers for the biking event in the future.

Abstract:

AbstractA new set of software applications and libraries for use in the archival and analysis of pulsar astronomical data is introduced. Known collectively as the psrchive scheme, the code was developed in parallel with a new data storage format called psrfits, which is based on the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS). Both of these projects utilise a modular, object-oriented design philosophy. psrchive is an open source development environment that incorporates an extensive range of c++ object classes and pre-built command line and graphical utilities. These deal transparently and simultaneously with multiple data storage formats, thereby enhancing data portability and facilitating the adoption of the psrfits file format. Here, data are stored in a series of modular header–data units that provide flexibility and scope for future expansion. As it is based on FITS, various standard libraries and applications may be used for data input, output, and visualisation. Both psrchive and psrfits are made publicly available to the academic community in the hope that this will promote their widespread use and acceptance.

Abstract:

This study offers to determine the ability of 20 types of MSMEs to trade in the environment around the Universitas Galuh Ciamis campus. The research method used was an experimental method, in which we applied a simple accounting format to their business. The analysis technique used is a different test (t-test) through scores obtained from test results to them before and subsequently applied to a simple accounting format. The results obtained show their low skills in preparing financial statements, as evidenced by the tests before applying a simple accounting format obtained an average score of 27.80. After applying the accounting format, improvements are made to those who prepare financial statements using a simple accounting format. From the test results applied a simple accounting format, obtained an average score of 71.20. So it can be concluded from the changes that occur before and after applying a simple accounting format for MSMEs in the type of business in the environment around the Universitas Galuh Ciamis campus.

Abstract:

Low power Design is the challenge for the current SoC Designers. With the growing complexity of the chips and the shrinking technology, power consumption in ASIC’s has become a major challenge for the ASIC Engineer. The low power challenge is at every level of the ASIC Design flow. The low power techniques are applies at the Micro architecture level, RTL Design Level, Functional Verification level, Logic Synthesis level, Design for Test level, and Physical Design level. Nowadays, with the complexity gradually increasing at the SoC level, some of the EDA companies like Synopsys and Cadence are integrating the low power techniques in the tool itself. For instance, the two most commonly used low power flows are Unified Power Format (UPF) and Common Power Format (CPF). The Unified power format is from Synopsys flow while the Common Power format is from Cadence flow. In this paper, the emphasis is on reducing power by taking an Asynchronous FIFO with two separate clocks and applying the Unified power format flow in it. This paper presents the results of the research reported by the Synopsys Design Compiler before applying the UPF flow and after applying the UPF flow.

Abstract:

Purpose Austerity approaches in higher education require choosing the highest leverage strategies of increasing student satisfaction. Attending to student perceptions of program/service quality (SERVQUAL) is a means to identify areas that have the greatest return on investment. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This study explores how a program has applied the SERVQUAL model and survey to identify areas for growth. Findings The survey of 57 students in a cohort-based doctoral program demonstrated the smallest gaps (highest satisfaction) with the domains of empathy (1.33) and responsiveness (1.30) and the lowest with reliability (2.03), tangibles (1.97) and assurance (1.90). Practical implications While not all of the five dimensions are within the purview of a program to address (some may require funding that is determined at a college or university level), many of the gaps can be addressed by adopting procedures and policies that increase transparency so that students can moderate their expectations and faculty and staff can provide reliable information. Additionally, the use of the SERVQUAL model provided this program with specific, actionable information that could be used to improve the program. Originality/value The study includes a review of studies that have applied the SERVQUAL model in higher education. The application of SERVQUAL to a cohort-based doctoral program to identify program improvements and steward program image fits into a gap in the extant literature.

Abstract:

In December 2016, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) carried out the first regular observations of the Sun. These early observations and the reduction of the respective data posed a challenge due to the novelty and complexity of observing the Sun with ALMA. The difficulties with producing science-ready, time-resolved imaging products in a format familiar to and usable by solar physicists based on the measurement sets delivered by ALMA had limited the availability of such data to this point. With the development of the Solar ALMA Pipeline, it has now become possible to routinely reduce such data sets. As a result, a growing number of science-ready solar ALMA data sets are now offered in the form of the Solar ALMA Science Archive (SALSA). So far, SALSA contains primarily time series of single-pointing interferometric images at cadences of one or two seconds, accompanied by the respective single-dish full-disc solar images. The data arrays are provided in FITS format. We also present the first version of a standardised header format that accommodates future expansions and fits within the scope of other standards including the ALMA Science Archive itself and SOLARNET. The headers include information designed to aid the reproduction of the imaging products from the raw data. Links to co-observations, if available, with a focus on those of the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, are also provided. SALSA is accompanied by the Solar ALMA Library of Auxiliary Tools (SALAT), which contains Interactive Data Language and Python routines for convenient loading and a quick-look analysis of SALSA data.

Full text

Abstract:

Parameters for generalized Lotka-Volterra equations, expressed as difference equations, have been estimated from actual data on wolves and their prey. The functional response is represented by a single constant, while the numerical response is expressed as a ratio-dependent limitation on predator abundance. Parameters for the Lotka-Volterra equations were estimated by multiple-regression fits to data on moose (Alces alces) and wolves (Canis lupus) on Isle Royale, and from other sources. Observed prey-predator ratios are highly variable, but much of the variability may arise from nonequilibrium conditions. A multiple-prey model has been developed by assuming that utilization rates vary in proportion to relative current biomass. If analyses are to be useful, the dynamic, nonlinear nature of predator-prey systems requires that a system of equations be developed, along with extensive series of observations of actual abundances of predator and prey.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate, using stakeholder map methodology, showing power, urgency, legitimacy and concerns of different actors, the current state of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Switzerland. Previous research on CSR in Europe has made few attempts to identify stakeholders and their contribution to this topic. Design/methodology/approach – To derive this map, publicly available documents were explored, augmented by 27 interviews with key stakeholders (consumers, media, government, trade unions, non-profit organisations [NPOs], banks, certifiers and consultants) and management of different companies (multinational enterprises [MNEs], small- and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs] and large national companies). Using MAXQDA, the quantified codes given for power, legitimacy and urgency were triangulated between self-reporting, external assessments and statements from publicly available documents and subsequently transferred into stakeholder priorities or, in other words, into positions in the map. Further, the codes given in the interviews for different CSR interests and the results from the document analysis were linked between stakeholders. The identified concerns and priorities were quantitatively analysed in regard to centrality and salience using VennMaker. Findings – The paper identified SMEs, MNEs and cooperating NPOs as being the most significant stakeholders, in that order. CSR is, therefore, not driven primarily by regulators, market pressure or customers. Further network parameters substantiated the importance of SMEs while following an unconventionally informal and idiosyncratic CSR approach. Hence, insights into these ethics-driven, unformalised business models that pursue broader responsibility based on trust, traditional values, regional anchors and the willingness to “give something back” were formed. Examples of this strong CSR habit include democratic decisions and abolished hierarchies, handshake instead of formal contracts and transparency in all respects (e.g. performance indicators, salaries and bonuses). Research limitations/implications – In total, 27 interviews as primary data that supplements publicly available documents are clearly only indicative. Practical implications – The research found an innovative, vibrant and practical CSR model that is emerging for reasons other than conventional CSR agendas that are supposed to evolve. In fact, the stakeholder map and the CSR practices may point at a very different role businesses have adopted in Switzerland. Such models offer a useful, heuristic evaluation of the contribution of formal management systems (e.g. as could be found in MNEs) in comparison to the unformalised SME business conduct. Originality/value – A rarely reported and astonishing feature of many of the very radical SME practices found in this study is that their link to commercial strategies was, in most cases, not seen. However, SMEs are neither the “poor relative” nor the abridged version of CSR, but are manifesting CSR as a Swiss set of values that fits the societal culture and the visionary goals of SME owners/managers and governs how a sustainably responsible company should behave. Hence, as a new stance and argument within CSR-related research, this paper concludes that “informal” does not mean “weak”. This paper covers a myriad of management fields, e.g. CSR as strategic tool in business ethics; stakeholder and network management; decision-making; and further theoretical frameworks, such as transaction cost and social capital theory. In other words, this research closes scientific gaps by at once applying quantitative as well as qualitative methods and by merging, for the first time, network methodology with CSR and stakeholder research.

Abstract:

AbstractSpatial grammars are rule based, generative systems for the specification of formal languages. Set and shape grammar formulations of spatial grammars enable the definition of spatial design languages and the creation of alternative designs. Since the introduction of the underlying formalism, they have been successfully applied to different domains including visual arts, architecture, and engineering. Although many spatial grammars exist on paper, only a few, limited spatial grammar systems have been computationally implemented to date; this is especially true for three-dimensional (3-D) systems. Most spatial grammars are hard-coded, that is, once implemented, the vocabulary and rules cannot be changed without reprogramming. This article presents a new approach and prototype implementation for a 3-D spatial grammar interpreter that enables interactive, visual development and application of grammar rules. The method is based on a set grammar that uses a set of parameterized primitives and includes the definition of nonparametric and parametric rules, as well as their automatic application. A method for the automatic matching of the left hand side of a rule in a current working shape, including defining parametric relations, is outlined. A prototype implementation is presented and used to illustrate the approach through three examples: the “kindergarten grammar,” vehicle wheel rims, and cylinder cooling fins. This approach puts the creation and use of 3-D spatial grammars on a more general level and supports designers with facilitated definition and application of their own rules in a familiar computer-aided design environment without requiring programming.

Abstract:

Optical music recognition is a research field whose efforts have been mainly focused, due to the difficulties involved in its processes, on document and image recognition. However, there is a final step after the recognition phase that has not been properly addressed or discussed, and which is relevant to obtaining a standard digital score from the recognition process: the step of encoding data into a standard file format. In this paper, we address this task by proposing and evaluating the feasibility of using machine translation techniques, using statistical approaches and neural systems, to automatically convert the results of graphical encoding recognition into a standard semantic format, which can be exported as a digital score. We also discuss the implications, challenges and details to be taken into account when applying machine translation techniques to music languages, which are very different from natural human languages. This needs to be addressed prior to performing experiments and has not been reported in previous works. We also describe and detail experimental results, and conclude that applying machine translation techniques is a suitable solution for this task, as they have proven to obtain robust results.

Abstract:

Human factors (HF) can be implemented in various domains to improve usability, and healthcare is no exception. A student team from Georgia Tech was consulted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) about performing a straightforward user-centered redesign of the CDC’s immunization schedule. Using classic design principles (e.g., consistency, simplicity, clarity), the team created a prototype schedule that aims to produce HF-driven efficiency of use while maintaining a form that fits with end-user expectations of the schedule. The CDC implemented some of the team’s design recommendations in its 2017 immunization schedule, and more changes could be implemented in the 2018 version of the schedule.

Applying the reciprocity instinct to monetary transactions implies that the reaction to monetary debt and monetary credit are similar. However, evidence suggests an asymmetry. I suggest that the “autonomy instinct” fits better with human behavior towards money. I show that people value autonomy, and I show how money can serve this instinct.

Abstract:

Abstract Context.—Eighty-two million surgical pathology and cytology reports were issued in the United States during 2007; a subset of these reports will be misunderstood by readers. Recent attention has focused on standardizing the content of pathology reports, particularly for common malignancies, to facilitate transmission of required information. Comparatively little attention has been focused on the format of reports—the arrangement of headlines, text blocks, and other report elements to optimize communication. Objective.—To provide guidance to report designers and authors about how to format reports to maximize the speed, fidelity, and ease of information transfer. Data Sources.—Review of relevant literature from commercial publishing and aviation and the fields of cognitive psychology and pathology, supplemented with an analysis of 10 000 pathology reports and the author's personal experience as a practicing pathologist. Conclusions.—Four evidence-based and time-tested principles can help pathologists format information to communicate more effectively: (1) use of diagnostic headlines to emphasize key points, (2) maintenance of layout continuity with other reports and over time, (3) optimization of information density for readers, and (4) reduction of extraneous information or “clutter.” Practical advice is also provided to help pathologists minimize corruption of formatting as reports are transmitted electronically between medical information systems.

Abstract:

This article examined response format effects on norm prevalence (i.e., the percent of individuals who could specify a norm). Data were collected in Dilek Peninsula Büyük Menderes Delta National Park, in Turkey. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. In the “semi-open” response format, respondents (n = 458) “wrote a number” for an acceptable number of visitor encounters. In the “closed” format, respondents (n = 459) “circled a number” of acceptable encounters, along a range of possible responses. Results showed that encounter norm prevalence was significantly and consistently higher for the closed format of the survey, as compared to the semi-open version. In addition, among those reporting a norm, the average tolerance levels were statistically higher in the semi-open format. Implications for applying the normative approach across different cultures are discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

Cognitive development theories differ on how young students can meaningfully process new information and retain that information for future knowledge-building through scaffolding within their zone of proximal development. More traditional theories like the cognitive load theory adhere to the rote memorization approach by categorizing students as passive learners and the teachers as initiators who provide information in a structured, often rigid format, to be stored and retrieved for future application using their working memory. In contrast, the more progressive theories, like constructivism, are premised on the belief that students should proactively initiate their own learning while teachers act more as facilitators. The current trend in government policy under ESSA is to embrace the latter approach in the classroom, which is also more inclusive of all types of students, especially neurodiverse students. Moreover, teachers can utilize the wider range of assistive technology tools to accommodate and support their students’ unique learning styles.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the development and the application of biometric systems on one hand, and the large number of hardware and software manufacturers on the other, caused two the most common problems of biometric systems: a problem of interoperability between system's components as well as between different biometric systems and a problem of biometric data security and privacy protection, both in storage and exchange. Specifications and standards, such as BioAPI and CBEFF, registered and published as multiple standards by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), propose the establishment of single platform (BioAPI) to facilitate the functioning of the biometric systems regardless of hardware or software manufacturers, and unique format for data exchange (CBEFF) to secure biometric data. In this paper, these standards are analyzed in detail and considered as possible solutions to aforementioned problems.

Abstract:

Curve fitting refers to the process of finding an appropriate function that fits a finite set of data points. Representing a set of data points by a function is quite beneficial in data analysis and reapplication, and this technique is often used in engineering and technical problems. Fitting accuracy and computational time are usually the most crucial factors to be taken care of in curve fitting problems. Previous researchers have demonstrated that genetic algorithms can effectively solve curve fitting problems, but the difficulty of parameter coding is also widely encountered in computational processes. Hence, this study addresses on applying real-valued genetic algorithm to deal with curve fitting problems. Detailed discussion is made on the optimization efficiency among various data, and finally, some key parameters to curve fitting results are found and presented.

Abstract:

We concluded in a recent study that a one-size-fits-all approach typical of group interventions often does not adequately accommodate the range of situations, life experiences, and current needs of participants. We describe how this limitation informed the design and implementation of an individually delivered intervention format more specifically tailored to the unique needs of each bereaved person. The intervention comprises one of the three interrelated studies within Partners in Hospice Care (PHC), which examines the trajectory from end-of-life care through bereavement among cancer caregivers using hospice. The PHC intervention employs an initial needs assessment in order to tailor the session content, delivery, and sequencing to the most pressing, yet highly diverse needs of the bereaved spouses/partners. Although an individually delivered format has its own challenges, these can be effectively addressed through standardized interventionist training, regular communication among staff, and a flexible approach toward participants’ preferences and circumstances.

Abstract:

The present study investigates the applicability of an information integration hypothesis developed by Wickens and Boles (1983), to display format and response configuration. Twenty paid subjects performed either a dual-task or an integration task. The tasks were similar in all respects with the exception of information integration requirements. Proximity was manipulated via display format and response configuration. Results of the display format manipulation supported a multiple resources interpretation while the effects of response configuration were consistent with the integration hypothesis. These results point to a possible limitation in applying the integration hypothesis to resource demands of displays, but suggest that the hypothesis may apply to response configuration.

For manufacturing high mechanical properties and environmental-friendly particleboard, a formaldehyde-free soybean meal (SM)-based adhesive was developed and applied in the mechanical manufacture of particleboard. The thermal behavior of the adhesive was investigated and the properties of the particleboard were tested according to Chinese Standards methods. The results show that the optimum technical parameters were: hot-pressing temperature was 180 °C, hot-pressing time was 65 s/mm, moisture content was 12 %, and glue content was 15 %. The MOR and IB of particleboard were 20.6 MPa and 0.59 MPa respectively. It fully fits the Chinese National Standards GBT 4897.5-2003. Therefore, it is a practical way for manufacturing environmental friendly particleboard by SM-based adhesive.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide practitioners and students a practical yet comprehensive set of templates for applying Michael Porter's five forces framework for industry analysis. Design/methodology/approach – Based on experiences with practicing managers, small business owners, industry analysts, academics, and students, a set of industry analysis templates that systematically guides an analyst through a comprehensive assessment of the five forces is presented with the following: copies of the templates themselves, descriptions of their structure and use, an example of a completed template (spectator sports industry), and a discussion of possible modifications and extensions. Findings – The industry analysis templates described in this paper retain the comprehensiveness of Porter's framework but in a format much more student/manager-oriented using graphics, visual cues, a uniform structure, and straightforward descriptions of concepts. Template users show evidence of deeper strategic insights and have a sophisticated tool for future analysis. Practical implications – Managers, analysts, students, and others wanting robust industry analysis are provided with a comprehensive, structured, and practical set of templates to use in assessing an industry using the five forces framework. Originality/value – Leading strategic management texts and other sources provide no comprehensive, systematic, and robust format for conducting a five forces analysis of an industry. The set of industry analysis templates described in this paper provides a visually compelling, user-friendly format that can assist those analyzing industries gain important strategic insights not only into industry drivers, but also important competitive advantages for individual firms.

AbstractSpatial conditionally autoregressive (CAR) models in a hierarchical Bayesian framework can be informative for understanding state politics, or any similar population of border-defined observations. This article explains how a hierarchical CAR model is specified and estimated and then uses Monte Carlo analyses to show when the CAR model offers efficiency gains. We apply this model to data structures common to state politics: A cross-sectional example replicates Erikson, Wright and McIver’s (1993) Statehouse Democracy model and a multilevel panel model example replicates Margalit’s (2013) study of social welfare policy preferences. The CAR model fits better in each case and some inferences differ from models that ignore geographic correlation.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTPostpartum depression (PPD) is often detected later than symptom onset, or even undetected, because of lack of prompt or adequate screening. An evidence-based PPD screening protocol using a telephone-based format within a primary care practice was developed to identify symptoms and initiate treatment between 2 and 3 weeks postpartum. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used, with positive screens referred for provider and support services, and then tracked for follow-through. Fifty-two percent of women screened positive. Sixty-four percent accepted both provider and support referrals, with 89% follow-through with provider referrals and 78% follow-through with support referrals. Outcomes support early screening for PPD using a telephone-based format to effectively identify symptoms and acceptance of referrals by participants.
