Not Your Child's Playground: Workplace Bullying Among Community College Faculty

Community colleges have provided an entree into higher education for many women. Yet, women faculty perceive the overall climate of community colleges as “chilly. ” To deconstruct the interpersonal dynamics that may lead to perceptions of a chilly climate, this study examines the prevalence of workplace bullying among and between community college faulty. The purpose is to understand the nature of harassment, the ways in which women define and respond to it, and the importance of contextual factors in the prevalence. Workplace bullying is a form of interpersonal aggression that has implications for how individuals perceive the organizational climate, job productivity, and job satisfaction. Findings from this study indicate that workplace bullying among faculty includes many subtle practices characterized by informal and formal use of power, faculty workplace bullying is affected by several enabling structures specific to the context, and victims typically respond with avoidance. This study has implications for harassment policies, faculty involvement in institutional governance, and the gendered nature of interpersonal dynamics.
On the generality of the affective Simon effect

In affective Simon studies, participants are to select between a positive and negative response on the basis of a nonaffective stimulus feature (i.e., relevant stimulus feature) while ignoring the valence of the presented stimuli (i.e., irrelevant stimulus feature). De Houwer and Eelen (1998) showed that the time to select the correct response is influenced by the match between the valence of the response and the (irrelevant) valence of the stimulus. In the affective Simon studies that have been reported until now, only words were used as stimuli and the relevant stimulus feature was always the grammatical category of the words. We report four experiments in which we examined the generality of the affective Simon effect. Significant affective Simon effects were found when the semantic category, grammatical category, and letter-case of words was relevant, when the semantic category of photographed objects was relevant, and when participants were asked to give nonverbal approach or avoidance responses on the basis of the grammatical category of words. Results also showed that the magnitude of the affective Simon effect depended on the nature of the relevant feature.
Safety and efficacy of CT-P13 in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis in an extension phase or after switching from infliximab

Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of CT-P13 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during long-term treatment or after switching from innovator infliximab (IFX). Methods: Patients who completed 54 weeks of treatment in a phase I/II study (PI/II) received CT-P13 at an initial dose of 3 mg/kg at Week 62, with dose increases permitted up to 10 mg/kg. The primary endpoint was adverse event (AE) incidence. Results: Thirty-four of 38 patients in the maintenance group and 29 of 33 in the switch group reported at least one AE. Safety profiles in both groups were similar to those in PI/II. Eleven of 28 patients who were positive for anti-drug antibodies (ADA) at Week 62 discontinued the study before Week 110. Forty-one of 43 ADA-negative patients remained negative, and 10 of 28 ADA-positive patients became negative during the study. The mean DAS28 (ESR) at Week 134 was 3.166 in the maintenance group and 3.955 in the switch group. Conclusions: CT-P13 was well tolerated in patients who maintained the treatment after 54 weeks and in patients who switched to CT-P13 after 54 weeks of IFX treatment. The study also demonstrated a stable clinical efficacy of CT-P13 in RA patients.
The Black-and-White Model of Attitude Stability: A Latent Class Examination of Opinion and Nonopinion in the American Public

Latent class analysis is used to examine Philip Converse's propositions about political opinion and nonopinion in the American public. Data were taken from the 1956, 1958, 1960 and the 1972, 1974, 1976 American voter panel studies conducted by the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. Results support Converse's black-and-white model of attitude stability which posits the existence of some stable opinion holders and a group of "nonopinion" respondents whose positions vary unpredictably over time. Rates of opinion holding in the population were estimated to range from a low of 19% for the utilities and housing item, which was Converse's focus, to an atypical high of 59% for the busing item in the second panel. Models allowing for true score change estimated that the number of true score changers was small. The nonopinion respondents were apparently responsive enough to item content that their aggregated responses reflected the climate of opinion among those whose attitudes were better crystallized. As Converse had concluded, there was relatively little overlap of "issue publics"-those who held opinions on one issue were not necessarily opinion holders on other questions. There were not consistent differences in education or political involvement between opinion holders and nonopinion respondents. Relationships of education and political involvement to opinion holding suggest that respondents hold stable opinions on those issues that have greatest personal relevance for them.
A capacitor mismatch insensitive technique for RSD cyclic ADC

A new cyclic ADC structure achieving capacitor mismatch insensitivity is presented. This technique enables cyclic ADC to obtain a very precise residue voltage in cycles independent of matching of capacitors. In addition, this new structure saves the die area of capacitors in the switched capacitor network by 25% and significantly reduces power consumption by up to 40%. A 12-bit 1.67MS/s cyclic ADC using the new structure is implemented in 0. 35µm CMOS.
Reduction of Cortisol Levels and Participants' Responses Following Art Making

Abstract This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of visual art making on the cortisol levels of 39 healthy adults. Participants provided saliva samples to assess cortisol levels before and after 45 minutes of art making. Participants also provided written responses about the experience at the end of the session. Results indicate that art making resulted in statistically significant lowering of cortisol levels. Participants' written responses indicated that they found the art-making session to be relaxing, enjoyable, helpful for learning about new aspects of self, freeing from constraints, an evolving process of initial struggle to later resolution, and about flow/losing themselves in the work. They also reflected that the session evoked a desire to make art in the future. There were weak associations between changes in cortisol level and age, time of day, and participant responses related to learning about one's self and references to an evolving process in art making. There were no significant differences in outcomes based on prior experiences with art making, media choice, or gender.
Structural exon database, SEDB, mapping exon boundaries on multiple protein structures

UNLABELLED Comparative analysis of exon/intron organization of genes and their resulting protein structures is important for understanding evolutionary relationships between species, rules of protein organization and protein functionality. We present Structural Exon Database (SEDB), with a Web interface, an application that allows users to retrieve the exon/intron organization of genes and map the location of the exon boundaries and the intron phase onto a multiple structural alignment. SEDB is linked with Friend, an integrated analytical multiple sequence/structure viewer, which allows simultaneous visualization of exon boundaries on structure and sequence alignments. With SEDB researchers can study the correlations of gene structure with the properties of the encoded three-dimensional protein structures across eukaryotic organisms. AVAILABILITY SEDB is publicly available at http://glinka.bio. neu.edu/SEDB/SEDB.html SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION On the SEDB Web site.
Cost consciousness: conceptual development from a management accounting perspective

Purpose - – This paper aims to take note of the need to better understand cost consciousness from a management accounting perspective and serves as an exploratory study striving to analyze how the notion has been addressed by management accounting scholars. Design/methodology/approach - – This paper presents the findings of a thorough literature review identifying the drivers, interpretations, definitions and results which management accounting scholars have associated with cost consciousness. Findings - – This paper has synthesized the definitions and interpretations by considering their conceptual broadness and the subjects that cost consciousness characterizes. In addition, various potential drivers of cost consciousness have been identified where management control systems play a major role. Also, this paper summarizes both the positive and negative outcomes which scholars seem to expect from an increase of cost consciousness. Research limitations/implications - – Given that no prior work has focused on the conceptual development of cost consciousness, it was necessary to infer most of the interpretations, drivers and results which management accounting scholars have associated to the cost consciousness notion. Originality/value - – Cost consciousness is a concept that appears in hundreds of peer-reviewed articles on management accounting. However, only a handful of management accounting scholars have defined or evaluated this concept to a certain degree. As a result, what management accountants believe cost consciousness to be, how it is driven and what result may be expected from it, is nowhere to be found in any synthesized manner. The findings of this paper develop the concept of cost consciousness by illuminating the common use of the construct across various disciplines.
Design aspects of satellite-cellular hybrid wireless systems

In this paper we investigate various issues related to the design of satellite–cellular hybrid systems. First, we review the fundamental problems of channel partitioning and call admission/assignment. Second, we study the impact of different frequency reuse constraints, in both layers, on the optimum channel partitioning. Third, we investigate, analytically and via simulation, the effect of reducing the cell size. We emphasize the blocking-forced termination probabilities trade-off for pure cellular and satellite–cellular hybrid systems. Accordingly, an optimization problem with respect to the cell size is formulated. Finally, we search for the optimum dynamic call re-assignment policy that improves the system capacity at the expense of the complexity associated with tearing down a connection in one system and setting-up an alternative one in the other system. For a small hybrid system, we characterized the optimum re-assignment policies that minimize the blocking probability, dropping probability, and a weighted cost function of these probabilities.

Predictor-Estimator using Multilevel Task Learning with Stack Propagation for Neural Quality Estimation

In this paper, we present a two-stage neural quality estimation model that uses multilevel task learning for translation quality estimation (QE) at the sentence, word, and phrase levels. Our approach is based on an end-to-end stacked neural model named Predictor-Estimator , which has two stages consisting of a neural word prediction model and neural QE model. To efﬁciently train the two-stage model, a stack propagation method is applied, thereby enabling us to jointly learn the word prediction model and QE model in a single learning mode. In addition, we deploy multilevel task learning with stack propagation, where the training examples available for all QE subtasks (i.e., sentence/word/phrase levels) are used to train a Predictor-Estimator for a speciﬁc sub-task. All of our submissions to the QE task of WMT17 are ensembles that combine a set of neural models trained under different settings of varying dimensionali-ties and shufﬂing training examples, eventually achieving the best performances for all subtasks at the sentence, word, and phrase levels.
Power in Leader–Follower Work Relationships

There is perhaps no more important dyadic relationship than that between a leader and a follower. Nonetheless, few studies examine the implications of both leader and follower power on important work outcomes. Therefore, using resource dependence and role theories, the authors examined the process by which leader power affects important work outcomes, namely, work relationship quality and job tension, through met relationship expectations. Additionally, the authors suggest that the leader power–met expectations relationship is conditional on follower power. A state agency was sampled to obtain and analyze 100 leader–follower work relationship dyads, whereby both dyadic partners were surveyed. Results indicated that leader power affected both leader–follower relationship quality and job tension through followers’ met relationship expectations. However, contrary to our hypothesis, the leader power–met expectations relationship was not conditional on follower power. Contributions of this study, strengths and limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
Ethnic Role Identity among Black and White College Students

This article examines a structural symbolic interactionist approach to the process of ethnic identity formation among black and white college students. This approach, termed identity theory, considers an ethnic identity (like all identities) to be a portion of the self that contains shared understandings of what it means to be a member of a given ethnic group. Within the framework of identity theory, ethnic identification is hypothesized to be related to self-esteem, identity salience, identity commitment, and other structural characteristics. Using the Burke-Tully method, a black-white ethnic identity dimension is developed and used to measure ethnic identity among a sample of college students. The nature of this identity dimension is discussed and its relation to the other self variables is investigated. The study confirmed that identity salience, commitment, and self-esteem, as hypothesized by identity theory, are related to ethnic identity among students. However, it was also noted that these ethnic identity processes seemed to work somewhat differently for blacks and for whites as a result of differences in dominant and minority position.
Effects of season on boar semen parameters and antioxidant enzymes in the south subtropical region in Brazil

Although boar semen productivity is affected by seasonality, its effects are not equal among different regions which raise concerns regarding the profitability of boar stud farms. Therefore, the goals of this study were (i) to evaluate the seasonal effect on semen production in a commercial boar stud farm located in a subtropical climate region and (ii) to verify whether the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in spermatozoa and seminal plasma were associated with seminal traits of fresh and cooled semen. Nine boars were collected twice per season, and routine seminal parameter analyses were performed together with superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in seminal plasma and spermatozoa. Despite a reduction in sperm concentration in spring and summer, most seminal parameters were constant year‐round. Temperature–humidity index was higher in the summer compared to spring, autumn and winter (p < .05). Superoxide dismutase activity in spermatozoa was increased in summer compared to autumn and winter (p < .05). The activities of both enzymes in seminal plasma and spermatozoa glutathione peroxidase remained unaltered throughout the seasons. In conclusion, seasonality showed little influence in overall boar seminal parameters despite microclimatic differences among seasons, and spermatozoa collected during summer increased superoxide dismutase activity.
Cautions about car telephones and collisions.

Lawmakers in many countries are waiting for direct evidence that the use of cellular telephones in cars contributes to roadway collisions. In this issue of the Journal, a study of collisions in Toronto provides the first such evidence.1 By comparing the times of cellular-telephone calls, obtained from billing data, with the times of collisions, Redelmeier and Tibshirani estimated that the risk of a collision was between 3.0 and 6.5 times as high within 10 minutes after a cellular-telephone call began as when the telephone was not used. Our further analysis of their data confirmed that the risk more than doubled . Keywords: Driver distraction; Language: en
Contribution of the cortico-claustral loop to receptive field properties in area 17 of the cat

The contribution of the cat's claustrum to the response properties of cells in area 17 was studied by destroying the left claustrum and examining receptive field properties of cells in both the left and right area 17. For each cell we assessed sharpness of orientation tuning, degree of direction selectivity, length summation, end- stopping, ocular dominance, responsiveness, and several other properties. On the lesioned side, 462 cells were studied, and on the control side, 636 cells. All cats showed a reduction in the number of end-stopped cells in area 17 on the side of the lesion. This was particularly marked in layers 2 + 3 and 4, where end-stopped cells are normally most abundant. In the control hemisphere, 43% of the sample from these layers showed at least moderate end-stopping whereas, in contrast, only 21% exhibited this degree of end-stopping on the side of the lesion. There was no obvious change in other response properties. We conclude that one function of the cat's claustrum is to help regulate the length selectivity of cells in area 17.
CESifo-Delphi Conferences : Designing the New EU Delphi Conference Centre , Delphi 4-5 June 2004 Designing the New EU : Welfare Policy Integration Issues

What purposes should social and labor market policy serve in increasingly interrelated economic systems? And do current arrangements serve them well in the European framework? This paper reviews the relevant issues focusing in particular on assignment of decision power at different levels of governance, and on theoretically clear and empirically apparent sources of incoherent and ineffective policy structures. It discusses proposals of citizenship-based or “delayed integration” welfare systems as a way to enhance cross-border labor market flexibility. It concludes that reform efforts should be better focused on reappraisal and modernization of social responsibilities at all levels of governance in the European Union’s economic system.
Historicising The Present: Late Holocene Emergence of a Rainforest Hunting Camp, Gulf Province, Papua New Guinea

Abstract Historicising the emergence of ethnographic activities provides insights into the reliability of ethnographic analogies to aid archaeological understandings of past human societies, as well as allowing us to explore the historical emergence of ethnographically contextualised cultural traits. Epe Amoho is the largest hunting camp rockshelter used by the Himaiyu clan (Rumu people) of the Kikori River region, southern Papua New Guinea. Contemporary ethnographic information indicates dry season site use with subsistence practices directed towards riverine fishing and shellfishing, mammal hunting and gardening in the surrounding rainforest. But how long has the site been used and when in the past did activities start to resemble those known ethnographically? Archaeological excavations revealed three pulses of activity: Recent Phase (0-500 cal BP), Middle Phase (900-1200 cal BP) and Early Phase (2500-2850 cal BP). Pollen data reveal increasing rainforest disturbance by people through time. While the best match between ethnographic and archaeological practices occurs during the Recent Phase, selected aspects of Rumu subsistence extend back to the Early Phase. As the temporal depth of ethnographically-known practices differs between archaeological sites, a complex picture emerges where Rumu cultural practices unfolded at differing points in time and space over a period of at least 3000 years.
Measurement and modification of biexciton-exciton time correlation from an InAs quantum dot

Entangled photon pairs are an essential tool for various quantum protocols as teleportation [1], entanglement swapping [2], and realisation of quantum gates [3]. The traditional way to produce entangled photon pairs is the spontaneous parametric downconversion [4]. These sources are well developed and reliable. However, the number of photon pairs emitted in downconversion obey the thermal distribution.
Fast GPU-based Visibility Computation for Natural Illumination of Volume Data Sets

Pr e-computed radiance transfer (PRT) has been used to render volumetric data under distant low-frequency illumination at real-time rates, including natural illumination, soft shadows, attenuation from semi-transparent occluders and multiple scattering. PRT requires a lengthy pre-process, which is acceptable only for static volume data. However, in practical volume rendering, general transfer functions are used. Manipulating such a transfer function will result in a dynamic radiance transfer which has to be re-computed. This work proposes a fast way for this re-computation. While previous work has used CPU Monte Carlo ray-tracing for pre-computation and requires time in the order of many minutes, our GPU implementation uses a hierarchical visibility approximation implemented entirely on the GPU and requires only a few seconds for typical scenes.
Rat alpha-crystallin A chain with an insertion of 22 residues.

Rat lens alpha-crystallin contains, besides the usual alphaA and alphaB subunits, an additional minor chain. This subunit was purified by ion-exchange chromatography and its primary structure studied. It appeared to be an elongated alphaA-like chain, having an insertion of 22 residues between position 63 and 64 of an otherwise normal alphaA2 chain. Therefore this subunit was called alphaAIns, i.e. an alphaA chain with an inserted sequence. This inserted region, which contains three methionyl, five basic and no acidic residues, apparently results in an adequately functioning alphaAIns chain. The alphaAIns chain may be the product of a gene which has originated, after duplication of the alphaA gene, by insertion in one of the copies of a stretch of 66 nucleotides of unknown origin, or alternatively be the result of unusual transcription or processing of precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA), leaving an extra 66 nucleotides internally in the mRNA to be translated.
"Self-Serving" Attributions to Valenced Causal Factors

Previous field studies of self-attributions have used correlational methodologies. Consequently, one cannot be sure that the performance outcomes themselves produced the divergent attributions typically found. To address this problem, a field experiment was performed in which ski racers were randomly assigned to manipulated outcomes and then made attributions for these outcomes. A second problem with previous research concerns the wording of items assessing attributions. The wording itself might sometimes produce divergent attributions in the absence of any self-serving motivations. To address this issue, subjects made attributions to positively and negatively valenced factors. Although divergent attributions were found, they do not appear to be self-serving. Although participants attributed success more than failure to internal, facilitating factors, they also attributed failure more than success to internal, debilitating factors. These results support the information-processing, rather than the motivational, explanation for self-attributions.
