Perceiving Organisational Culture Influence on Knowledge Management Performance

In this paper we analyze the relationships between certain knowledge management, organizational culture, and the results of petrochemical industries. Facing high competitive market, the enterprises should be encouraged to reform and develop knowledge management performance. The objective of this research is to identify petrochemical firms by using Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approaches to solve this KM adoption problem, and ranks the gaps of the KM aspects in control items to achieve the aspired level of performance. This paper is matrix method-oriented, and the depth of investigation into any individual case is limited. Therefore, the methods proposed in same fields of study should preferably be used to associate deeper and more practical implications.
THE PAndAS VIEW OF THE ANDROMEDA SATELLITE SYSTEM. I. A BAYESIAN SEARCH FOR DWARF GALAXIES USING SPATIAL AND COLOR–MAGNITUDE INFORMATION

We present a generic algorithm to search for dwarf galaxies in photometric catalogs and apply it to the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS). The algorithm is developed in a Bayesian framework and, contrary to most dwarf galaxy search codes, makes use of both the spatial and color–magnitude information of sources in a probabilistic approach. Accounting for the significant contamination from the Milky Way foreground and from the structured stellar halo of the Andromeda galaxy, we recover all known dwarf galaxies in the PAndAS footprint with high significance, even for the least luminous ones. Some Andromeda globular clusters are also recovered and, in one case, discovered. We publish a list of the 143 most significant detections yielded by the algorithm. The combined properties of the 39 most significant isolated detections show hints that at least some of these trace genuine dwarf galaxies, too faint to be individually detected. Follow-up observations by the community are mandatory to establish which are real members of the Andromeda satellite system. The search technique presented here will be used in an upcoming contribution to determine the PAndAS completeness limits for dwarf galaxies. Although here tuned to the search of dwarf galaxies in the PAndAS data, the algorithm can easily be adapted to the search for any localized overdensity whose properties can be modeled reliably in the parameter space of any catalog.
Pathological studies on some parasitic diseases of Eel (Anguilla anguilla ) By

SUMMARY The prevalence of pathogenic parasites (single or mixed infection) was 22 out of 65 eels (33.85%). The identified parasites were Anguillicola cras- sus (7 cases) (10.7 %), Dactylogyrus species (4 cases) (6.1 %), Pseudo- dactylogyrus species (5cases) (7.7%), Myxidium species (2 cases) (3.07%), Trichodina species (3 cases) (4.6 %), and Proteocephalus spe- cies (one case) (1.5 %). It could be concluded that the parasitic fauna markedly impairs the Egyp tian eel's production and produce mild to severe degenerative, necrotic and inflammatory changes in the affected organs.
ASTEROSEISMOLOGY OF RED GIANTS FROM THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF KEPLER DATA: GLOBAL OSCILLATION PARAMETERS FOR 800 STARS

We have studied solar-like oscillations in ∼800 red giant stars using Kepler long-cadence photometry. The sample includes stars ranging in evolution from the lower part of the red giant branch to the helium main sequence. We investigate the relation between the large frequency separation (Δν) and the frequency of maximum power (νmax) and show that it is different for red giants than for main-sequence stars, which is consistent with evolutionary models and scaling relations. The distributions of νmax and Δν are in qualitative agreement with a simple stellar population model of the Kepler field, including the first evidence for a secondary clump population characterized by M ≳ 2 M☉ and νmax ≃ 40–110 μHz. We measured the small frequency separations δν02 and δν01 in over 400 stars and δν03 in over 40. We present C-D diagrams for l = 1, 2, and 3 and show that the frequency separation ratios δν02/Δν and δν01/Δν have opposite trends as a function of Δν. The data show a narrowing of the l = 1 ridge toward lower νmax, in agreement with models predicting more efficient mode trapping in stars with higher luminosity. We investigate the offset ϵ in the asymptotic relation and find a clear correlation with Δν, demonstrating that it is related to fundamental stellar parameters. Finally, we present the first amplitude–νmax relation for Kepler red giants. We observe a lack of low-amplitude stars for νmax ≳ 110 μHz and find that, for a given νmax between 40 and 110 μHz, stars with lower Δν (and consequently higher mass) tend to show lower amplitudes than stars with higher Δν.
Psychological effects of long term army naval missions on their families; a qualitative study

Aims: Investigating the different psychological aspects and the life quality of navy forces is important for improving their military power and efficiency and therefore improving the military power. The aim of this study was determining the psychological effects of long term naval missions on the family members of the Iranian Navy staff. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 2011, on 20 military families residing in one of the towns of the navy's 1st area in Bandar-Abbas city and had at least experienced three naval missions. Then the occupational history, life biography, marriage status, the number of children and the history of psychological hurt due to job conditions and war missions were investigated based on free interviews. Questions were designed based on ENRICH Inventory, the Occupational Stress Questionnaire and the job satisfaction questionnaire. Results: The remaining psychological effects of long term missions on families were correlated with age, education level, marriage age and the number of children, job experiences, military responsibility, mission location and duration and the possibility of fighting adversaries. Having a positive view about the necessity of missions was an important factor in tolerating problems. Conclusion: Understanding the psychological effects of naval missions would result in finding appropriate solutions such as teaching life skills with the aim of lowering and preventing these effects.
MAX-DOAS observations of the total atmospheric water vapour column and comparison with independent observations

Abstract. We developed an algorithm for the retrieval of the atmospheric water vapour column from Multi-AXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) observations in the yellow and red spectral range. The retrieval is based on the so-called geometric approximation and does not depend on explicit a priori information for individual observations, extensive radiative transfer simulations, or the construction of large look-up tables. Disturbances of the radiative transfer due to aerosols and clouds are simply corrected using the simultaneously measured absorptions of the oxygen dimer, O4. We applied our algorithm to MAX-DOAS observations made at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, from March to August 2011, and compared the results to independent observations. Good agreement with Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) H2O vertical column densities (VCDs) is found, while the agreement with satellite observations is less good, most probably caused by the shielding effect of clouds for the satellite observations. Good agreement is also found with near-surface in situ observations, and it was possible to derive average daily H2O scale heights (between 1.5 km and 3 km). MAX-DOAS measurements use cheap and simple instrumentation and can be run automatically. One important advantage of our algorithm is that the H2O VCD can be retrieved even under cloudy conditions (except clouds with very high optical thickness).
Duration of Greenland Stadial 22 and ice-gas Δage from counting of annual layers in Greenland NGRIP ice core

High-resolution measurements of chemical impurities and methane concentrations in Greenland ice core samples from the early glacial period allow the extension of annual-layer counted chronologies and the improvement of gas age-ice age difference (Δage) essential to the synchronization of ice core records. We report high-resolution measurements of a 50 m section of the NorthGRIP ice core and corresponding annual layer thicknesses in order to constrain the duration of the Greenland Stadial 22 (GS-22) between Greenland Interstadials (GIs) 21 and 22, for which inconsistent durations and ages have been reported from Greenland and Antarctic ice core records as well as European speleothems. Depending on the chronology used, GS-22 occurred between approximately 89 (end of GI-22) and 83 kyr b2k (onset of GI-21). From annual layer counting, we find that GS-22 lasted between 2696 and 3092 years and was followed by a GI-21 pre-cursor event lasting between 331 and 369 yr. Our layer-based counting agrees with the duration of stadial 22 as determined from the NALPS speleothem record (3250 ± 526 yr) but not with that of the GICC05modelext chronology (2620 yr) or an alternative chronology based on gas-marker synchronization to EPICA Dronning Maud Land ice core. These results show that GICC05modelext overestimates accumulation and/or underestimates thinning in this early part of the last glacial period. We also revise the possible ranges of NorthGRIP Δdepth (5.49 to 5.85 m) and Δage (498 to 601 yr) at the warming onset of GI-21 as well as the Δage range at the onset of the GI-21 precursor warming (523 to 654 yr), observing that temperature (represented by the δ15N proxy) increases before CH4 concentration by no more than a few decades.
To evaluate the production performance of carps stocked at various stocking densities

Four different rearing densities T1 (800), T2 (1200), T3 (1600) and T4 (2000) were stocked with ratio of 80% labeo rohita, 10% Catla catla and 10% Cirrhinus mrigala in 12 earthen ponds (in triplicate) of same size in polyculture system to study their effect on growth, survival, condition factor, feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and net production. Each group was fed with same diet; 30% protein @ 3% of entire wet body weight for six months. The growth parameters were inversely affected by stocking density; in T1, maximum weight, length, SGR and PER were observed in all three fish species and gradually decreased in T2, T3 and T4. Condition factor and survival rate showed variation in different groups indicating no effect of their interaction. The best feed conversion ratio was observed in T1 at lower density with insignificant difference. Labeo rohita showed maximum weight and length gain (904.25% and 195.4%) followed by Cirrhinus mrigala (884.11% and 187.08%) and Catla catla (521.84% and 163.87%). Maximum production was observed in T4 in all fish species with maximum number of fish. The overall results presented here indicate that the best growth performance of all fish species was obtained at T1 with maximum production at T4 stocking
Today ' s teens : a digital generation

The Internet has brought about many changes in people's lives, at the social, psychological and educational level, but excessive use can cause a particular addiction, called Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD), which consists in not being able to control the need to connect to the internet, remaining connected many hours and losing track of time. This addiction can cause various kinds of problems: physical, financial, within relationships, at work or at school. Some of the different kinds of addiction include the addiction to internet sex, virtual relationships, internet activity, excessive information and virtual games. Therefore, we need to identify the guidelines to regulate the use in terms of time, to prevent internet addiction and avoid falling into the many traps of the internet.

Ultimate pH values in reindeer meat with particular regard to animal sex and age, muscle and transport distance

The distribution of ultimate pH values and the frequency of high pH values in three reindeer muscles (AL longissimus, M. biceps femoris and M. triceps brachii) from bulls, cows and calves after short and long distance transport were studied. About 3400 reindeer carcasses from 12 different herds were included in this study. The post mortem processes in reindeer meat seemed to develop very rapidly, and therefore an early measurement (approx. 15h post mortem) of ultimate pH can be done without electrical stimulation of the carcasses. In a comparison between muscles, M. triceps brachii had a higher ultimate pH value than M. longissimus and M. biceps femoris. Meat from reindeer calves had higher ultimate pH values than meat from adult animals, indicating that calves are more susceptible to stress than adult animals and hence deplete their energy stores more readily. Road transport by lorry did not cause any increase in ultimate pH values in bulls and calves. Reindeer cows, however, did have an increase in ultimate pH, while more borderline cases of DFD (5.80<pH<6.20) were observed when cows were transported over more than 500 km. The physical condition and energy balance of the animals before transport were suggested to determine their ability to tolerate transport stress.
The Study of Computer Industry Company's Performance: the Roles of Technology Strategy and External Network

Technology Strategy becomes gradually important in these years, when the technology divides into various segments so that the firms are enforced to collaborate with external network linkage. This is a survey research to study the influential factors of the company performance in computer industry in Taiwan. The two independent factors are technology strategy and external network. By using the random sampling method, the questionnaire was mailed to members of Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufactures Association. We collected one-hundred-and-forty-four valid responds that were used for the statistic analysis. The empirical results show that the external network does not directly affect the company’s performance, but through the technology strategy. In addition, because the model fit computed by the LISREL is not satisfactory, several adjusted models are added for the result comparison.
BLACK HOLE–GALAXY CORRELATIONS WITHOUT SELF-REGULATION

Recent models of black hole growth in a cosmological context have forwarded a paradigm in which the growth is self-regulated by feedback from the black hole itself. Here we use cosmological zoom simulations of galaxy formation down to z = 2 to show that such strong self-regulation is required in the popular spherical Bondi accretion model, but that a plausible alternative model in which black hole growth is limited by galaxy-scale torques does not require self-regulation. Instead, this torque-limited accretion model yields black holes and galaxies evolving on average along the observed scaling relations by relying only on a fixed, 5% mass retention rate onto the black hole from the radius at which the accretion flow is fed. Feedback from the black hole may (and likely does) occur, but does not need to couple to galaxy-scale gas in order to regulate black hole growth. We show that this result is insensitive to variations in the initial black hole mass, stellar feedback, or other implementation details. The torque-limited model allows for high accretion rates at very early epochs (unlike the Bondi case), which if viable can help explain the rapid early growth of black holes, while by z ∼ 2 it yields Eddington factors of ∼1%–10%. This model also yields a less direct correspondence between major merger events and rapid phases of black hole growth. Instead, growth is more closely tied to cosmological disk feeding, which may help explain observational studies showing that, at least at z ≳ 1, active galaxies do not preferentially show merger signatures.
The effects of alternative forced-molting methods on the performance and egg quality of commercial layers

This study aimed at studying alternative methods to induce molting and to compare them with the conventional forced-molting method (fasting). In the experiment, 420 70-week-old layers were used. The total experimental period was 140 days. Molting was induced during the first 28 days, when birds were submitted to the experimental treatments, and bird performance and egg quality parameters were determined during 112 subsequent days. A completely randomized experimental design was applied in a 5x2 factorial arrangement of five feed restriction regimes (0, 15, 30, 45, or 60g feed/bird/day) and with or without the addition of coarse-particle limestone to the feed, with seven replicates of six birds each. Egg quality was evaluated at the end of each 28-day period for three consecutive days, using three eggs per experimental unit (21 eggs/treatment), with a total of 210 eggs. It was concluded that feeding 15g feed/bird/day to induce molting is feasible, as birds submitted to this treatment presented similar performance and better egg quality than those submitted to fasting during molting. The use of coarse-particle limestone during molting did not influence postmolting bird performance or egg quality.
Mathematical and neural networks modeling of thin-layer drying of peach(Prunus persica) slices and their comparison

Fast ripening and decay after harvesting are the factors limiting peach storage, so drying peach slices is a solution for this problem. To introduce an accurate model to simulate the drying curves under different conditions, peach slices were dried to equilibrium moisture in thin-layer dryer set using different air temperatures (40, 50, 60, 70 and 80°C) and velocities (1, 1.5 and 2 m/s). In this research, 13 mathematical equations have been used to fit peach slices drying curve. Results indicated that Midilli et al. model with RMSE between 0.01273 to 0.00463 and r2 0.9996 to 0.9982 was the best mathematical model that satisfactorily represented the experimental values. Artificial neural network is a well-known tool for solving complex, non-linear biological systems. The Multi-layer perceptron network was used for modeling drying kinetics. With regard to the results, the network with LOGSIG-TANSIGPURELIN activation function and 3-6-4-1 topology showed the best performance, in which RMSE was 0.00196 and r2 was 0.99996. At last, by comparing final unique neural network model with Midilli et al. model for the whole range of experiments, it was clear that neural network model is more accurate than Midilli model in each experiment conditions.
The effect of curricular and extracurricular activities on university students’ entrepreneurial intention and competences

This paper examines the effect of curricular and extracurricular activities on the entrepreneurial motivation and competences of university students. In order to address these issues, the authors have used Ajzen's model of planned behaviour, including curricular and extracurricular activities, analysing their effect on university students’ attitude and behavioural control and their entrepreneurial intention as well as competences. Using a convenience sample of university students, we chose two Spanish institutions, with a total sample size of 1475 students. The analysis demonstrates the effects of curricular and extracurricular activities on the entrepreneurial intention of university students. Such activities generate positive attitudes for entrepreneurship but at the same time they lower capacity and intention to start a business. Similarly, the study shows the different effects of such variables on the competencies for entrepreneurship. Strategic and methodological implications of these results are discussed.
Landmark vs. Geometry Learning: Explaining Female Rats' Selective Preference for a Landmark.

Rats were trained in a triangular-shaped pool to find a hidden platform, whose location was defined in terms of two sources of information, a landmark outside the pool and a particular corner of the pool. Subsequent test trials without the platform pitted these two sources of information against one another. In Experiment 1 this test revealed a clear, although selective, sex difference. As in previous experiments, females spent more time in an area of the pool that corresponded to the landmark, but here only when it was a cone but not when it was a pyramid. Males, on the other hand, always spent more time in the distinctive corner of the pool. Experiments 2 and 3 were only with female rats. In Experiment 2 two identical shaped cylinders were used as landmark cues (one plain white and the other vertically patterned with four different patterns). The results of the preference test revealed that only the females trained and tested with the plain cylinder spent more time in the area of the pool that corresponded to the landmark than in the distinctive corner of the pool. Finally, Experiment 3 replicated the results of Experiment 2 while eliminating an alternative explanation in terms of differential contrast between the two cylinders and the black curtain.
Simulating carbonaceous pollutant nanoparticles an aid to discovery

Steven L. Fiedler and Angela Violi are both with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. E-mail: avioli@umich.edu. Particulate matter (PM) ranks as one of the principal air pollutants linked to acute and chronic physiological ailments. Sized 200 times smaller than a grain of sand, PM is generated by both natural and anthropogenic sources with the latter primarily consisting of fuel combustion processes from utilities, vehicles, and industrial emitters.1 Since 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set an air quality standard for inhalable “coarse” PM sized less than 10 μm (PM10) and in 1997, the agency set stricter standards for “fine” PM, defined to be sized less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5). This action was taken to address determinations of greater health risks associated with PM in this category. A subsequent revision in 2006 further highlighted the recognized size-based health risk distinctions by respectively tightening and eliminating the 24-hour PM2.5 and annual PM10 standards.3 Simulating Carbonaceous Pollutant Nanoparticles An Aid to Discovery
