The spectroscopy of high Rydberg states of ammonia

This paper extends our knowledge of the higher excited states of the ammonia molecule by presenting detailed measurements of the 2+1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectrum of both NH3 and ND3 obtained following excitation in the wavelength range 298–242 nm, i.e., at energies up to the first ionization energy. Complementary analyses of the wavelength resolved REMPI spectrum and the accompanying REMPI-photoelectron spectra leads to the identification of ten new Rydberg origins of NH3 (four for ND3) with principal quantum numbers n⩽8 and, in most cases, of the accompanying out-of-plane bending vibrational progression. Symmetry assignments for the various newly identified excited states are offered, based on band contour simulation and/or quantum defect considerations. Dominant amongst these are the Ẽ″ 1A2″ (5sa1′←1a2″) state: ν0=74 118(2) cm−1 [NH3], ν0=74 258(2) cm−1 [ND3], the F″ 1E″ (5pe′←1a2″) state: ν0=76 220(50) cm−1 [NH3], ν0=76 240(50) cm−1 [ND3], the F′ 1A1′ (5pa2″←1a2″) state:.
Predicting turnover intention through organizational support and organizational commitment: The case of a manufacturing company

This paper reports a research that investigated factors that might relate to employees’ turnover intention.The study was a cross-sectional study where respondents’ perception was measured at one point in time. 105 respondents participated in this study.Two factors, namely organizational support and organizational commitment (effective commitment and continuance commitment) were tested to predict turnover intention among employees in the company.Results from the study reveal that only effective commitment is significantly negatively related to turnover intention.The findings were discussed and implications were also put forward.
Physicochemical Analysis of Argon Plasma-Treated Cell Culture Medium

The effects of cold plasma under atmospheric pressure are being explored for medical ap‐ plications. It was found that plasma effects on cells correspond to a plasma–medium in‐ teraction; thus, plasma-treated cell culture medium alone is able to influence the cell behavior. Here, we discovered that the liquid-mediated effect of atmospheric-pressure ar‐ gon plasma on mouse liver epithelial cells persists up to 21 days of storage; i.e., the liquid preserves the characteristics once induced by the argon plasma. Earlier investigations of our group revealed that temperature and pH, hydrogen peroxide production and oxygen content can be excluded as initiators of the detrimental biological changes. As we found here, the increased osmolality in the media caused by plasma treatment can also be ex‐ cluded as a reason for the observed cell effects. Conversely, we found changes in the components of cell culture medium by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and decreased cell viability in plasma-treated media independent of the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS) during plasma treatment. The persistent biological effect on plasma-treated liquids observed here could open up new medical applications. Stable plasma-treated liq‐ uids could find application for dermatological, dental, or orthopedic therapy. cells were ascertained. We discovered that the liquid-mediated effect of atmospheric-pressure argon plasma on mouse liver epithelial cell–cell contacts and cell membrane microvilli persists up to even 21 days or 7 days of storage, respectively. Earlier investigations of our group revealed that temperature and pH (both were constant) as well as hydrogen peroxide production and oxygen content (both decreased within 1 day) can be excluded as initiators of the detrimental biological changes. As we found here, increased osmolality in the media caused by plasma treatment can also be excluded as a reason for the observed cell effects. On the other hand, we found an additional peak in size-exclusion chromatography analysis in basic DMEM after plasma treatment and significantly decreased cell viability in plasma-treated media independent of the presence of FCS during plasma treatment. High molecular compounds generated during plasma treatment of DMEM without
Challenges Affecting Adoption and Use of Mobile Banking : A Case of Equity Bank , Kenya

Mobile banking has been in place since late 1990s upon the inception of smart phones with WAP support. Mobile banking has been argued to be as a result of technological and demographic developments. Mobile banking was initiated by European banks. Many firms in Kenya have implemented mobile payment services. The current study is on the challenges that affect adoption and use of mobile banking in Kenya. The study was conducted amongst the staff of Equity Bank, Nakuru town branches. The study specifically sought to establish the relationship between relative advantage and adoption and use of mobile banking. Descriptive research design and cross-sectional survey method were employed in the study. A total of 171 members of staff of Equity Bank constituted the target population. Due to the relatively small target population, a census survey was carried out implying that the sample was equal to the target population. A structured questionnaire which sought responses on a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data. A pilot study constituting 10 per cent of the target population (18 respondents) was conducted prior to the main study in order to determine the presence of any potential weaknesses in the research instrument. In tandem both reliability and validity of the instrument were tested using the data collected during the pilot study. The Cronbach alpha was employed to test the reliability while expert opinion from the University supervisors was sought as a way of determining the content validity of the research instrument. Data was processed and analyzed by use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software. Data analysis was in both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive analysis involved determination of measures of central tendencies (mean) and measures of variability (standard deviation, frequencies and percentages). On the other hand, inferential analysis was in form of Pearson’s correlation. The study findings were presented in form of tables that will reflect summary statistics in form of both descriptive and inferential statistics. It was established that, there exists a strong, positive, and significant relationship between relative advantage and adoption of mobile banking. Relative advantage was inferred to influence the adoption and use of mobile banking. It is recommended that, commercial banks should demonstrate to their customers the advantage they are bound to have by adopting and using mobile banking over using conservative banking methods. It is also advisable to examine the effects of mobile banking on profitability of commercial banks in Kenya

Explaining Trade Flows: Traditional and New determinants of Trade Patterns

An empirical tradition in international trade seeks to establish whether the predictions of factor abundance theory match with the data. The relation between factor endowments and trade in goods (commodity version of Hecksher-Ohlin) provide mildly encouraging empirical results. But in the analysis of factor service trade and factor endowments (factor content version of HO), the results show that it performs poorly and reject strict HOV models in favor of modifications that allow for technology differences, consumer's preferences differences, increasing returns to scale or cost of trade. In this paper we test if these “new” determinants help us to improve our estimation of trade patterns in commodities. Since the commodity version allows obtaining a large panel data we also compare two periods, pre and post 1980. We use a Heckman procedure to allow for non linearity in the relation between factors endowments and net exports and between trade intensity and net exports. The results show that adding the “new” determinants of factor content studies help us to improve the prediction of being specialized in the different manufactured products. However specialization according to factor endowments is stronger than ever, especially concerning the specialization according to human capital endowment. Trade patterns are also determined by trade intensity. Here differences in technology, trade policy, transport and transaction costs, explain the difference in trade intensity.
Posteucritic magmatism on Vesta: Evidence from the petrology and thermal history of diogenites

We report on the petrology and the thermal histories of 13 diogenites in order to constrain the formation processes of the Vestan crust. We classify diogenites into unequilibrated and equilibrated diogenites in a scheme similar to that for basaltic eucrites. Pyroxenes in unequilibrated diogenites are chemically zoned, indicating that they crystallized rapidly from melts and escaped from global crustal metamorphism. The presence of unequilibrated diogenites casts doubt on the fact that all the diogenites formed at depth in the parent body, as commonly thought. Some diogenites probably crystallized in shallow intrusions or were extruded on the surface. These facts strengthen the geochemical evidence that diogenites and eucrites are not directly cogenetic and suggest that at least some diogenites have intruded the early formed eucritic crust. Thus, diogenites are certainly not the products of the crystallization of the magma ocean that triggered the differentiation of Vesta but are more likely cumulates associated with a later stage of magmatism. Furthermore, the intrusion of diogenites could have significantly thickened the early formed crust, making it difficult to excavate deep‐seated olivine mantle by moderate impact events.
A WAVELET REGULARIZATION METHOD FOR AN INVERSE HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM WITH CONVECTION TERM

In this article, we consider an inverse heat conduction problem with convection, which is ill-posed; i.e., the solution does not depend continuously on the given data. A special projection dual least squares method generated by the family of Shannon wavelets is applied to formulate an approximate solution. Also an optimal-order estimate for the error between the approximate solution and exact solution is obtained.
Ducks and Decoys: Revisiting the Exit-Voice- Loyalty Framework in Assessing the Impact of a Workplace Dispute Resolution System

Until now, empirical research has been unable to reliably identify the impact of organizational dispute resolution systems (DRSs) on the workforce at large, in part because of the dearth of data tracking employee perceptions preand postimplementation. This study begins to fill this major gap by exploiting survey data from a single, geographically-expansive, US firm with well over 100,000 employees in over a thousand locations. The research design allows us to examine employment relations and human resource (HR) measures, namely, perceptions of justice, organizational commitment, and perceived legal compliance, in the same locations before and after the implementation of a typical, multistep DRS that begins with informal reporting to local managers and culminates with mandatory arbitration. Even after holding all time-constant, location-level variables in place, we find that introduction of the DRS is associated with elevated perceptions of informal procedural justice and interactive justice, but diminished perceptions of formal procedural justice. We also find no discernible effect on organizational commitment, but a significant boost to perceived legal compliance by the company, raising important questions about the tradeoff between voice and exit and formal versus informal aspects of dispute resolution mechanisms. * Author names are in alphabetical order.

Interannual to Decadal Changes in the ECCO Global Synthesis

Abstract An estimate of the time-varying global ocean circulation for the period 1992–2002 was obtained by combining most of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) ocean datasets with a general circulation model on a 1° horizontal grid. The estimate exactly satisfies the model equations without artificial sources or sinks of momentum, heat, and freshwater. To bring the model into agreement with observations, its initial temperature and salinity conditions were permitted to change, as were the time-dependent surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and freshwater. The estimation of these “control variables” is largely consistent with accepted uncertainties in the hydrographic climatology and meteorological analyses. The estimated time-mean horizontal transports of volume, heat, and freshwater, which were largely underestimated in the previous 2° optimization performed by Stammer et al., have converged with time-independent estimates from box inversions over most parts of the World Ocean. Trends in the mode.
CHAPTER 3 Effect of restricted feeding and season on the carcass characteristics of Koekoek chickens

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of feed restriction and season on carcass characteristics of Koekoek chickens. Two hundred and seventy hens and twenty-seven cocks were randomly allocated to four treatments in a completely factorial randomized design being AA, AR RA and RR. The trial was done in summer and winter. Each treatment had seven replicates (10 animals per replicate) with the exception of the RR treatment that had six replicates (10 animals per replicate). Collected data was subjected to SPSS (17.00) package and analyzed by using multifactorial analysis of variance (ANOVA). Feed restriction resulted in reduced slaughter weight, defeathered weight, dressing weight, skin weight, breast muscle weight, shank width, chest width and heart girth in the rearing phase. Intestine weight, liver weight and abdominal fat weight were higher in chickens that were fullfed. Chickens that were allocated to summer treatment had higher shank width, slaughter weight, defeathered weight, chest width, heart girth, breast muscle weight, skin weight and the relative skin percentage. Shank length, dressing percentage and the muscle dressing percentage were higher in chickens that were reared in winter. Chickens that were reared in summer had higher abdominal fat weight, abdominal fat percentage, intestine weight and liver weight. Chickens that were raised in winter registered higher absolute and relative gizzards weights. Abdominal fat weight, abdominal percentage, intestine percentage, liver weight, gizzard weight and gizzard percentage were higher in ad libitum fed chickens. The season demonstrated a role on the performance of internal organs of chickens. ________________________________________________________________________
Aluminium metallisation for interdigitated back-contact silicon heterojunction solar cells

Back-contact silicon heterojunction solar cells with an efficiency of 22% were manufactured, featuring a simple aluminium metallisation directly on the doped amorphous silicon films. Both the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor heavily depend on the parameters of the annealing step after aluminium layer deposition. Using numerical device simulations and in accordance with the literature, we demonstrate that the changes in solar cell parameters with annealing can be explained by the formation of an aluminium silicide layer at temperatures as low as 150 °C, improving the contact resistance and thus enhancing the fill factor. Further annealing at higher temperatures initialises the crystallisation of the amorphous silicon layers, yielding even lower contact resistances, but also introduces more defects, diminishing the open-circuit voltage.
Hadamard renormalized scalar field theory on anti–de Sitter spacetime

We consider a real massive free quantum scalar field with arbitrary curvature coupling on n -dimensional anti–de Sitter spacetime. We use Hadamard renormalization to find the vacuum expectation values of the quadratic field fluctuations and the stress-energy tensor, presenting explicit results for n = 2 to n = 11 inclusive.
Influence of Age and Gender on Haematological Parameters of Apparently Healthy Barbary Sheep in Aljabal Alakhdar , Libya

Objective: To report and assess the effect of age and gender on the haematological parameters of Barbary Sheep from the southern region of Aljabal Alakhdar in Libya. Methods: Blood samples were collected from forty nine apparently healthy Barbary sheep consisting of sixteen adult females, aged between 1.5 to 4 years, and thirty three young sheep, less than 12 months (17 males and 16 females). Packed cell volume (PCV), white blood Cell (WBC) count, red blood cell (RBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), differential white blood cells, and platelets counts were determined. The studied parameters were compared between males and females and between young and adult sheep. Results: The PCV values were highly influenced (P=0.001) by both sex and age. Sex highly influenced (P<0.01) the MCV, and MCHC values. There were significantly (P<0.05) higher WBC, MCV, and MCH in adult females than the young ones. MCHC was not influenced by age (P>0.05). WBC, RBC, Hb, and MCH values were not significantly influenced (P>0.05) by sex. The percentage of lymphocytes was higher in male Barbary sheep, while that for granulocytes was higher in female sheep, but the difference was not statistically significant. Age significantly influenced (P<0.05) the lymphocytes values of Barbary Sheep. Age and sex did not influence (P>0.05) the monocytes values. Age greatly influenced (P=0.001) RBC, and Hb values of sheep. Age and sex had no significantly influence (P>0.05) on Platelets counts in Barbary sheep. Conclusions: It can be concluded from the present study that there were significant differences in some of the hematological values between male and female and between young and adult Barbary sheep. The haematological values reported in this study could serve as a baseline information for comparison in conditions of nutrient deficiency, physiological and health status of Barbary sheep in northeastern Libya.
THE OVARY OF FRUIT BAT ROSSETUS AEGYPTIACUS ( MEGACHIROPTERA : PTERPODIDAE ) IN SOUTHERN IRAN

Bat is flying mammals that with eating fruit, interferes in pollination of many plants and with eating insect aid to control of pest and due to balance ecosystem. Therefore, biologic study aid to protecting them. In the present research 4 female egyptian fruit bats (Rossetus aegyptiacus) were captured by mist net in Gorm cave (southern Iran). They were transferred to the laboratory, anesthetized and dissected their ovaries. After measuring weight, length and diameter of ovaries, they were fixed in formalin (4%), were dehydrated in graded series of ethanol (70%-100%), then impregnated with paraffin and serial Sections (5μ thickness) were prepared. The transverse and longitudinal sections were subjected to Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stains, mounted on binocular microscope (40x and 10x) and micrographs were taken with digital camera. Obtained data analyzed by SPPS (20) and ANOVA test. Ovarian morphometric results revealed that there is no significant difference between the left and right ovary (P<0.01). Obtained micrographs showed recognizable germinal layer with high cell junctions, vascular stroma and fat particles. The sexual stages include immature, mature and graafian were detected in ovaries and no significant histological differences were observed in tip, middle and end of ovaries. The most population of follicle belongs to primordial (28. 20 ±0.03) and primary follicles (10.5± 0.05) and one graafian follicles was seen near the epithelium. Microscopic structure is similar to other mammals. According to obtained finding, ovarian tissue in this species is heterogeneous and sexual cycle is active in summer.
Oxidative Stress In Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency In Children

The present study was conducted to evaluate the changes occurring in children affected with glucose 6-phosphate deghydrogenase deficiency(G6PD),this study included 60 children, patients and healthy, 40, children affected with G6PD deficiency and 20 children were used as control group. Their ages ranged between 1 year to 13 years and divided into four groups, first group 1- 3years, second group > 3-5 years, third group > 5-10 years, and fourth group > 10-13 years. The results of packed cell volume (PCV), RBCs count and hemoglobin concentration (Hb) showed significant decrease (P<0.05) in all ages groups when comparison with control. Levels of total serum bilirubin, and direct serum bilirubin, reticulocyte recorded significant increase (P<0.01) in all age groups. The present study also showed significant decrease (P<0.01) in the levels of reduced glutathione and catalase activity. The changes these changes which are above illustrated may be attributed to high levels of RBCs destruction due to the oxidative stress.
