Full textA pesar de la importancia estratégica de la actividad política corporativa (APC) y de los esfuerzos realizados para estudiar sus diferentes características, hay pocos estudios sobre cómo las empresas pueden organizar y gestionar sus unidades de asuntos gubernamentales (AG) de una manera más efectiva. Esta tesis trata de contribuir a mejorar la comprensión sobre este importante aspecto de la APC. En concreto, esta tesis se centra en explorar cómo las empresas pueden diseñar sus unidades de AG de manera que puedan mejorar su capacidad de procesar información. Con este objetivo, se ha empleado la metodología del estudio de caso. El foco de análisis es la unidad de AG de las grandes empresas y sus actividades de tratamiento de la información. Esta unidad canaliza el flujo de información entre las unidades de negocio internas de la empresa y su entorno político exterior. Basándose en la teoría de diseño organizativo, esta tesis muestra los antecedentes organizativos de la APC. Finalmente, esta tesis muestra a los profesionales un conjunto de mecanismos organizativos, complementarios entre sí, que pueden emplear las unidades de AG para mejorar su capacidad de gestionar la información política.
Despite the strategic importance of firms’ corporate political activity (CPA) and the efforts to study its different aspects, little has been researched about how firms can organise and manage their government affairs (GA) units more effectively. This thesis seeks to shed further light into this relevant aspect of CPA. Specifically, the focus of this thesis is on exploring how firms can design their GA units in ways to improve their ability to perform their information processing activities. To this end, this thesis relies on the case study methodology. The empirical focus is the GA unit working in large firms and its information processing activities as a boundary-spanning unit. This unit mediates the flow of information between its external political environment and the firms’ internal business units. Drawing on organisational design theory, this thesis contributes to CPA scholarship by exposing organisational antecedents of CPA. Ultimately, this thesis offers practitioners a set of mutually-reinforcing organizational mechanisms that can be put in place to improve the ability of their GA units to manage political information.

Full textMaster's Thesis: 128 pp., 40 figs., 31 tables, 9 formulas, 75 literature sources, 5 applications. Purpose: to estimate the parameters of the processes of extraction of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Object of study: processes of purification of natural and waste water from heavy metal ions. Subject of study: extraction of Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ ions from aqueous solutions of different concentrations by adsorption, nanofiltration and ion exchange methods. The processes of removal of heavy metal ions from dilute solutions using magnetite sorbents, OPMN-P membrane and various types of cation exchange filters have been studied. It is shown that the efficiency of the process depends on the presence of hardness ions in water and pH at ion exchange purification, sorption time, initial concentration of metal ions in solution and pH at adsorption, as well as the choice of complexes in nanofiltration. The dependence of the selectivity of the nanofiltration membrane on heavy metals and rigidity ions on the type of complexing agent used was investigated.

Объект исследования: процессы очистки природной и сточной воды от ионов тяжелых металлов. Предмет исследования: изъятие ионов Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ из водных растворов различных концентраций методами адсорбции, нанофильтрации и ионного обмена. Изучены процессы удаления ионов тяжелых металлов из разбавленных растворов при использовании сорбентов на основе магнетита, мембраны ОПМН-П и различных типов катионообменных фильтров. Показано, что эффективность процесса зависит от наличия ионов жесткости в воде и рН при ионообменной очистке, времени сорбции, исходной концентрации ионов металла в растворе и рН при адсорбции, а также от выбора комплексонов при нанофильтрации. Исследована зависимость селективности нанофильтрационной мембраны по тяжелым металлам и ионам жесткости от типа комплексообразователя, который использовался.

Full textHuvudsyftet med det här avhandlingsarbetet var att öka förståelsen för den låga friktion som finns i vissa biologiska system, med fokus på synergistiska effekter mellan de smörjande molekylerna. För detta ändamål studerades ytkrafter och friktion med hjälp av atomkraftsmikroskopi. Mätningarna utfördes med hydrofila och hydrofoba modellytor i lösningar med hög salthalt (≈ 150 mM) i närvaro av smörjande biomolekyler. Det var också nödvändigt att få information om de adsorberade skikten av biomolekyler. Det åstadkoms med hjälp av en rad tekniker så som AFM PeakForce avbildning, kvartskristallmikrovåg, dynamisk ljusspridning och röntgen reflektometri. Genom att kombinera data från dessa tekniker erhölls detaljerad information om de smörjande skikten.De smörjande biomolekyler som valdes ut för studierna var en fosfolipid, hyaluronan, lubricin, and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) vilka alla finns i synovialledsområdet. Först undersöktes den smörjande förmågan hos dessa komponenter var för sig, och sedan fokuserade vi på två par av biomolekyler som man vet eller antar bildar associationsstrukturer i synovialleder. Av de enskilda biomolekyler som undersöktes var det endast fosfolipiden 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-fosfokoline (DPPC) som visade sig vara en effektivt smörjande molekyl. Deponerade biskikt av DPPC på silikaytor gav upphov till mycket låga friktionskoefficienter (≈ 0.01) upp till höga pålagda tryck, ≈ 50 MPa. DPPC bilager i flytande kristallin fas visade sig ha högre lastbärande förmåga än DPPC bilager i geltillstånd.Det första synergistiska par som undersöktes var DPPC och hyaluronan vilka man vet associerar på broskytan, och vi visade att hyaluronan associerar med såväl DPPC vesiklar som med DPPC bilager. Genom att kombinera dessa två komponenter uppmättes en smörjande förmåga som var jämförbar med den som DPPC ensam uppvisar. Även om friktionskoefficienten var något högre i närvaro av hyaluronan. Synergieffekten här består inte av en bättre smörjande förmåga, utan istället gör närvaron av hyaluronan att de smörjande fosfolipiderna kan ansamlas i stora mängder där de behövs, dvs. på de glidande ytorna.Det andra synergiparet var lubricin och COMP vilka nyligen har visats vara lokaliserade på samma platser på broskytan, vilket tyder på att de associerar med varandra. På egen hand var lubricins smörjande förmåga av PMMA, våra hydrofoba modellytor, dålig. Emellertid, om COMP först adsorberades på PMMA och sedan lubricin tillsattes uppmättes en låg friktionskoefficient (≈ 0.03). I det här fallet består synergin av att COMP möjliggör en stark inbindning till ytan av lubricin i konformationer som ger god smörjande förmåga.

Full textWhereas formal relations such as alliances have been well-studied, informal inter-organizational relations still need to be analyzed. This gap in the literature leads to the following research questions: How do organizations manage their informal inter-organizational relations? What are the effects of such relations? How can firms organize influencing activities based on these relations? The theory of dynamic capabilities addresses relations between the firm and its environment. The dynamic capabilities of the firm can be defined as the capacity of the firm to sense and shape opportunities and threats, to seize opportunities and to reconfigure assets. They permit the organization to adapt to and to shape its environment. This work contributes to answering the call from researchers to analyze the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities. It studies the role played by boundary spanners, individuals playing an interfacing role between the firm and its environment, in the dynamic capabilities of the firm. Further, this research leads to the conceptualization of the capacity to manage informal interorganizational relations as a dynamic capability allowing the firm to develop its absorptive capacity, legitimacy and influence on its environment

Full textCondenser microphones are reciprocal transducers whose properties (sensitivity, bandwidth and reliability) make them powerful measurement tools. So far, they have been commonly used as receivers in the audible frequency range, in air at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature, they have been appropriately characterised in this context for nearly thirty years. But nowadays, their miniaturisation (using MEMS processes) and their new use for metrological purposes (as receivers as well as transmitters) require much deeper theoretical and experimental characterisations because they require an accurate knowledge of their behaviour in high frequency ranges (up to 100 kHz), in gas mixtures, whose properties differ from those of air, and under pressure and temperature conditions much higher or much lower than standard conditions. Thus, here, -i/ the effects of the thermal boundary layers are introduced in the model (only viscous boundary layers are usually accounted for), leading, in the first chapter, to an analysis of the thermal diffusion of thin bodies (whose scope is beyond the strict frame of capacitive transducers), ii/ the influence of the holes in the backing electrode on the dynamic behaviour of the membrane is initially handled with an original analytical method which allows expressing the non-uniform boundary conditions at the surface of the backing electrode as fictitious localised sources associated to uniform boundary conditions (second chapter), -iii/ new analytical solutions, depending both on the radial and azimuthal coordinates, for the pressure field and for the displacement field inside the cavities behind the membrane are expressed using modal theories in agreement with the strong couplings which occur between the different parts of the transducer (chapter three), -iv/ "lumped element circuits", which are more or less approximated (presented in the Appendix), more particularly result in expressing and assessing the sensitivity and the thermal noise (end of chapter three), -v/ experimental results, obtained from measurements of the displacement field of the membrane using a laser scanning vibrometer, both highlight and quantify for the first time the complex behaviour of the membrane in the highest frequency range, and finally lead to the validation of the theoretical results and therefore, the models presented here (even if the latter may still be improved as outlined in the conclusion)

Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) have been recognized as a high lateral stiffness and ductility system for building structures. However, this system is still not commonly adopted in practice. It may be due to the following two reasons: 1) The capacity design of the boundary elements must be checked by using strips model, which may be complicated and time-consuming. 2) The column plastic hinge must be formed only at the 1st story column bottom end according to the AISC provisions. Therefore the flexural requirement for the 1st story column may be very large. For the purpose of developing a convenient capacity design method for the 1st story columns in the SPSWs, the equivalent brace model is considered in formulating the design procedures. Allowing the plastic zone to form approximately at 1/4-high of the first-story column, this study purposes a minimum column flexural capacity design requirement to prevent both the flexural and shear plastic hinges form at the top of the 1st story column. In order to verify the accuracy the proposed capacity design method, and to investigate the cyclic performance of the SPSWs with or without the plastic forming at the top of the 1st story column, three full-scale 3.42-meter wide and 3.82-meter high two-story SPSW specimens were tested in National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering. The low yield strength steel plates of 2.7mm and the same boundary beams, but with the boundary columns designed according to three different flexural requirements, were adopted for three specimens. Results of the ABAQUS analyses and the cyclic tests up to a roof drift of 0.045 radians confirm that the proposed capacity design method is suitable for seismic design of 1st story column to achieve good performance and economy. The 1st story column with plastic deformations spreading over mid-high of the column still possesses rather good load-carrying capacity. However, the specimen with plastic hinges forming at the mid-high and the top of the 1st story column have seriously lateral torsional buckling. In addition, test results show the tension field angle changes from boundary elements elastic to plastic. For the 1st story, due to large plastic deformation in the mid-high of boundary columns, the tension field angle inclines to approximately 40 degree. For the 2nd story, however, the plastic deformation concentrates at on boundary beams, so the tension field angle inclines near 45 degree.
