Organizing for success: Finnish export partner groups in focus

Studies of Finnish export partner groups have revealed that a fundamental problem exists concerning the limping cooperation between the smalland medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the groups. Cooperation is strongly connected to the organization and coordination of the groups. Different organizational forms imply that the export manager’s role likewise differs. This paper examines the organization of export partner groups and the role of the export manager in relation to the organizational form and how this can enhance cooperation between the participating SMEs. Individuals who have worked as export managers were interviewed. In export partner groups, organization depends primarily on the companies’ technology, the compatibility between their products and services, and the goals of the groups. Different organizational forms have different benefits, and the export manager’s role concerning sales preparation and coordination, as well as management of other net activities, varies accordingly to the organizational form.
GENETIC EVALUATION OF THE TEXEL BREED IN URUGUAY : II . MEAT QUALITY TRAITS

The present study reports preliminary estimates of heritabilities of meat quality traits and genetic correlation among them and with carcass quality based on data on 424 lambs of the Texel Central Progeny Testing in Uruguay. Moderate heritabilities were estimated for color parameters, Warner-Braztler shear force (WBSF), intramuscular fat content (IMF) and fatty acid profile (percentage of saturates, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids). Genetic correlations between fat thickness by ultrasound and GR were positive and moderate between them and with IMF. In contrast, rib eye area, which is an indicator of carcass muscling, was negatively correlated with IMF. This meat quality trait is relevant given its association with eating quality traits and nutritional value of lamb meat. The correlation between IMF with WBSF was -0.29 indicating that leaner lamb meat will tend to be less tender. On the other hand, genetic correlations of IMF with fatty acids percentages suggest that lower contents of IMF will have higher proportions of “healthier” fatty acid. Genetic improvement for higher meat yield is possible given the genetic variability estimated, but these preliminary associations suggest the need to take into account simultaneously meat quality traits to avoid any unfavorable effects, due to correlated responses.
Asteroseismology of the Hyades red giant and planet host ǫ Tau ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆

Context. Asteroseismic analysis of solar-like stars allows us to determine physical parameters such as stellar mass, with a higher precision compared to most other methods. Even in a well-studied cluster such as the Hyades, the masses of the red giant stars are not well known, and previous mass estimates are based on model calculations (isochrones). The four known red giants in the Hyades are assumed to be clump (core-helium-burning) stars based on their positions in colour-magnitude diagrams, however asteroseismology offers an opportunity to test this assumption. Aims. Using asteroseismic techniques combined with other methods, we aim to derive physical parameters and the evolutionary stage for the planet hosting star ǫ Tau, which is one of the four red giants located in the Hyades. Methods. We analysed time-series data from both ground and space to perform the asteroseismic analysis. By combining high signalto-noise (S/N) radial-velocity data from the ground-based SONG network with continuous space-based data from the revised Kepler mission K2, we derive and characterize 27 individual oscillation modes for ǫ Tau, along with global oscillation parameters such as the large frequency separation ∆ν and the ratio between the amplitude of the oscillations measured in radial velocity and intensity as a function of frequency. The latter has been measured previously for only two stars, the Sun and Procyon. Combining the seismic analysis with interferometric and spectroscopic measurements, we derive physical parameters for ǫ Tau, and discuss its evolutionary status. Results. Along with other physical parameters, we derive an asteroseismic mass for ǫ Tau of M = 2.458± 0.073 M⊙, which is slightly lower than previous estimates, and which leads to a revised minimum mass of the planetary companion. Noting that the SONG and K2 data are non-simultaneous, we estimate the amplitude ratio between intensity and radial velocity to be 42.2±2.3 ppm m−1 s, which is higher than expected from scaling relations.
Cytochrome P 450 , CYP 93 A 1 , as defense marker in soybean

Cytochrome P450, CYP93A1, is involved in the synthesis of the phytoalexin glyceollin in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr). The gene encoding CYP93A1 has been used as defense marker in soybean cell cultures, however, little is known regarding how this gene is expressed in the intact plant. To further understand the tissue-specific role of CYP93A1 in soybean defense, we analyzed the expression of this gene in mechanically damaged leaves and stems. In leaves, CYP93A1 was constitutively expressed; its expression did not change in response to mechanical damage. In stems, however, expression of CYP93A1 was induced as quickly as 4 h after mechanical damage and remained upregulated for at least 48 h. The induction of CYP93A1 was associated with the synthesis of glyceollins. In comparison to several other defense-related genes encoding cysteine protease inhibitors L1 and R1 and storage proteins vspA and vspB, CYP93A1 was the most strongly induced by stem wounding. The induction of CYP93A1 was observed only locally, not systemically. Similar stem expression patterns were consistently observed among three different soybean genotypes. The strong induction of CYP93A1 in mechanically damaged stems suggests an important role in the soybean stem defense response; therefore, this study expands the use of CYP93A1 as a defense response marker to stems, not just soybean cell cultures. Additional key words: cysteine protease inhibitors, glyceollin, jasmonic acid, mechanical damage, storage proteins.

A high-resolution image time series of the Gornergletscher-Swiss Alps-derived from repeated UAV surveys

Modern drone technology provides an efficient means to monitor the response of alpine glaciers to climate warming. Here we present a new topographic dataset based on images collected during ten UAV surveys of the Gornergletscher glacial system (Switzerland) carried out approximately every two weeks throughout the summer of 2017. The final products, available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2630456 (Benoit et al, 2018), consist of a series of 10 cm resolution ortho-images, digital 15 elevation models of the glacier surface, and Matching Maps that can be used to quantify ice surface displacements. Used on its own, this dataset allows mapping the glacier and monitoring surface velocities over the summer at a very high spatial resolution. Coupled with a classification or feature detection algorithm, it enables extracting structures such as surface drainage networks, debris or snow cover. The approach we present can be used in the future to gain insights into ice flow dynamics.
Prediction of Vortex Cavitation Inception Using Coupled Spherical and Non-Spherical Models and UnRANS Computations

A spherical and a non-spherical bubble dynamics model were developed to study cavitation inception, scaling, and dynamics in a vortex flow. The spherical model is a modified Rayleigh-Plesset model modified to account for bubble slip velocity and for non-uniform pressures around the bubble. The non-spherical model is embedded in an Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes code with appropriate free surface boundary conditions and a moving Chimera grid scheme around the bubble. The effect of non-spherical deformation and bubble/flow interaction on bubble dynamics is illustrated by comparing spherical and non-spherical models. It is shown that non-spherical deformations and bubble/flow interactions are important for accurate prediction of cavitation inception. The surfaceaveraged pressure modified Rayleigh-Plesset scheme is a significantly improvement over the conventional spherical model and is able to capture the volume changes of the bubble during its capture. It presents a fast scheme to study scaling. Scaling effects on cavitation inception is preliminarily studied using two different Reynolds number due to two different chord lengths. The nuclei size effect on the prediction of cavitation inception is also studied and its important effect highlighted.
The factors affecting Logistics Service Quality

This study is developed with the objectives of identifying factors affecting logistics service quality and measuring quantified effects of these factors in the case study of Saigon New Port Logistics Company. A research model was deployed with Logistics Service Quality as the dependent variable and four independent variables including personnel quality, information quality, order quality, and timeliness. A questionnaire survey was developed and it was given to the customers of the company. The sample size is 100 people who are the customers of the company. A data collection process is established with the questionnaire distributed by email. There were 100 responses obtained and the data was inputted into data analysis process, including descriptive statistics, reliability test, explanatory factor analysis, and linear regression. Descriptive statistics provide useful information related to demographic characteristics of the respondents, including location of the head quarter, number of years since they are established, the net profit margin, and the logistics cost as percentage of the total operating cost. The result revealed that the customers of SNPL are mostly based in Hanoi and HCMC and most of them have operating time less than 5 years. The net profit margin and the logitics cost percentage of total operating cost are both captured. Preliminary analysis was generated with reliability test and exploratory factor analysis. The result obtained showed that all factors which are captured in the research model satisfy the requirements. Linear regression shows that personnel quality, information quality, timeliness, and order quality explain for 56.2% of variance of logistics service quality. There was no difference between information quality, order quality and timeliness. In addition, personnel quality seems to be slightly less important. Each, however, independently contributed to explain LSQ.

LONG-TERM POPULATION TRENDS OF COLONIAL WADING BIRDS BREEDING IN DOÑANA ( SW SPAIN ) IN RELATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC

—Breeding season counts of nine species of colonial wading birds (Nycticorax nycticorax, Ardeola ralloides, Bubulcus ibis, Egretta garzetta, Ardea cinerea, Ardea purpurea, Ciconia ciconia, Plegadis falcinellus and Platalea leucorodia) nesting at Doñana during 1984-2010 were analysed. The aim of the study was to assess the size and trends of populations and to analyse their environmental and anthropogenic determinants. We used the TRIM programme to test for long-term trends, and Generalised Additive Models to assess the effect of local rainfall, the surface area of ricefields surrounding Doñana and rainfall in the Sahel on breeding population size. All species showed positive population trends, mainly from 1996 onwards. The number of active colonies increased over time, and up to 17,297 nests from the nine studied species were recorded in one year (2010). Low precipitation (< 500 mm) in the previous autumn and winter was associated with reductions in the numbers of breeders, since rainfall determines the flooding extent in the natural marshes of Doñana. The area of ricefields positively influenced the breeding numbers of five species. Only four of these species are considered to be increasing in Europe and increases in Doñana coincide with management changes that have improved nesting and feeding habitat and reduced human disturbance. In addition to large-scale man-made habitat changes, breeding population sizes for the studied species were strongly influenced by high annual variation in rainfall, typical of Mediterranean habitats, therefore making them likely to be affected by climate change.
Assessment and Management of Pain , Alignment , Strength and Stability ( PASS ) in Patellofemoral Pain and

Clinical assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions of different joints may be broken down into considerations of Pain, Alignment, Strength and Stability (PASS). In recent years these factors have allowed a systematic approach and has enabled the development in our understanding of clinical subgroups, which enable targeted or stratified care. This paper considers the use of the PASS concept to determine the most appropriate treatment and interventions, specifically when considering treatment of two common musculoskeletal conditions, patellofemoral pain and low back pain.

A Survey of Methods for the Two Point Seismic Travel Time Calculation

We have surveyed the literature to evaluate approaches to the seismic two-point travel time problem in which one determines the travel time between two geometrically separated points in three dimensions in a medium with a velocity field that may vary both heterogeneously and anisotropically. Our goal here is to evaluate the various methodologies for implementation in a tool that should be fast, accurate, scalable and extensible to the most general specification of velocity field and non-Cartesian grids.
Which Generation Cohort is more “ Open to Change ” : An Ordinal Logistic Regression Model Analysis

This paper tests and determines if generation cohorts – Baby boomers, Xers, and Millennials are significantly different when dealing with changes and challenges in Saudi Arabia. Results indicated that there is a significant difference among the generation cohorts. Millennials are more open to changes than Xers and Baby boomers. The results also indicated that even though Xers and Baby boomers are different, the difference is not statistically significant.
Evaluation of Crowdsourcing Wi-Fi Radio Map Creation in a Real Scenario for AAL Applications

Indoor location at room level plays a key role for providing useful services for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications. Wi-Fi fingerprinting indoor location methods are extensively used due to the widespread availability of Wi-Fi infrastructures. A main drawback of Wi-Fi fingerprinting methods is the temporal cost involved in creating the radio maps. Crowdsourcing strategies have been presented as a way to minimize the cost of radio map creation. In this work, we present an extensive study of the issues involved when using crowdsourcing strategies for that purpose. Results provided by extensive experiments performed in a real scenario by three users during two weeks are presented. The main conclusions are: i) crowdsourcing data improves accuracy location in most studied cases; ii) accuracy of Wi-Fi fingerprinting methods decay along time; iii) device diversity is an important issue even when using the same device model.
TEAM PERFORMANCE 1 Leader Humility and Team Performance : Exploring the Mechanisms of Team PsyCap and Task Allocation Effectiveness

Although there is a growing interest toward the topic of leader humility, extant research has largely failed to consider the underlying mechanisms through which leader humility influences team outcomes. In this research, we integrate the emerging literature of leader humility and social information processing theory to theorize how leader humility facilitates the development of collective team psychological capital, leading to higher team task allocation effectiveness and team performance. While Owens and Hekman (2016) suggest that leader humility has homogenous effects on followers, we propose a potential heterogeneous effect based on the complementarity literature (e.g., Tiedens, Unzueta, & Young, 2007) and the principle of equifinality (leaders may influence team outcomes through multiple pathways; Morgeson, DeRue, & Karam, 2010). In three studies conducted in China, Singapore, and Portugal, including an experiment, a multisource field study, and a three-wave multisource field study, we find support for our hypotheses that leader humility enhances team performance serially through increased team psychological capital and team task allocation effectiveness. We discuss the theoretical implications of our work to the leader humility, psychological capital, and team effectiveness literatures; and offer suggestions for future research.
AN APPLICATION OF THE VIC-3 L MODEL IN ASSESSING EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER RESOURCES IN THE HAIHE RIVER BASIN

This paper presents an estimate of hydrologic changes in the Haihe River basin associated with the climate change scenarios using the VIC land surface model at a spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25° under climate change scenarios, which were predicted from the PRECIS regional climate model. Three climate scenarios, recent climate (1969-1990), future climate A2 (2071-2079) and future climate B2 (2071-2079), were considered, among which A2 and B2 are future emissions storylines in the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios. The VIC-3L model with the PRECI predictions as its inputs was applied to runoff simulation over the Haihe River basin. Simulated results show that mean annual runoff under A2 and B2 is predicted to be a decrease in spite of an increase in rainfall, which implies more serious water shortages in the Haihe River basin. If the factor of population increase in the 21st century were taken into consideration, water resources status over the river basin would be even more rigorous. In addition, an increase of runoff in flood season under A2 and B2 is found out, indicating a rise of possibility of the flood occurrence in the Haihe River basin in the future.
Single-Phase PLL Structure Applied to Utility Connected Systems Using the Instantaneous Active Power Theory

Sistemas PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) têm sido usados em vários equipamentos para aplicações de condicionamento de energia, tais como, sistemas de energia ininterrupta (SEI), filtros ativos de potência, retificadores PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), etc., nos quais a informação do ângulo de fase da rede é necessária. Este trabalho apresenta a descrição de um método de detecção de fase aplicado a uma estrutura de PLL monofásica para sistemas conectados à rede elétrica. O sistema PLL proposto é baseado na teoria monofásica modificada da potência reativa instantânea (teoria p-q). Um sistema fictício monofásico é obtido introduzindo um atraso de 90o na tensão monofásica medida da rede. Consequentemente, um novo sistema bifásico pode ser estudado no eixo de coordenadas αβ usando a teoria trifásica da potência reativa instantânea. A análise é realizada usando um modelo do sistema de eixos estacionário bifásico o qual usa a potência ativa instantânea como o sinal de referência do PLL. Para validar a análise teórica, um modelo do sistema PLL é apresentado. A análise matemática do sistema PLL é realizada e sua resposta dinâmica é discutida. Resultados de simulação e experimentais são apresentados para validar as análises teóricas.
Combining Ability and Heterosis Analyses for Earliness and Yield Potential in some Bread Wheat Crosses under Optimum and Late Sowing

This study was carried out during the two successive seasons 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 at the experimental farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt. Eight bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and lines, differing in their earliness were used as parents and evaluated with their 28 F1's under optimum (29 Nov.) and late (29 Dec) sowing dates. The studied characters were earliness, grain yield and its components. significant differences were detected between the two sowing dates and among the studied genotypes in each sowing date and across the two sowing dates. The mean squares of GCA and SCA for most studied characters were significant or heighly significant under both sowing dates. Means of the parents and their crosses were decreased under late sowing date for all the studied characters. The early parents and most of their F1's had the desirable mean values for combining ability and heterosis effects for earliness characters. Moreover, the parents Giza 171, Misr 2 and Line 1 (late parents) were the best parents for mean performance and general combining ability (GCA) for grain yield and its components in most cases. Four crosses resulting from late and early parents under both sowing dates were the highest ones and could be used in advanced studies for earliness and grain yield potential. The GCA/SCA ratios were more than unity for most studied characters under both sowing dates.
