Using Dark Side Personality Traits to Identify Potential Failure

Silzer and Church (2009) synthesize the literature on high potential, provide a model highlighting its key components, and offer three stages for identifying potential. Within this framework, potential is used to refer to an employee’s capacity to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to succeed in advanced positions within the organization. Identifying someone who has the capacity to advance, however, does not ensure that he/she will do so; careers often derail before potential can be realized. An estimated 50–75% of managers derail before ever reaching their full potential (Burke, 2006; Hogan, 1994; Hogan, Curphy, & Hogan, 1994; Hogan & Hogan, 2001). Character attributes including arrogance, mischievousness, and rigidity (Burke; Hogan & Hogan) have been shown to relate to career derailment. Such tendencies, however, often coexist with traditional indices of success (Burke; Denton & van Lill, 2006; Hogan et al.; Hogan & Kaiser, 2005). Achieving employee potential, therefore, appears contingent not only on the presence of positive attributes relating to performance, but also on the absence of negative attributes indicative of derailment (Hogan; Hogan et al.). In this commentary, we present a case for the
Doubly Logarithmic Communication Algorithms for Optical-Communication Parallel Computers

In this paper, we consider the problem of interprocessor communication on parallel computers that have optical communication networks. We consider the completely connected optical-communication parallel computer (OCPC), which has a completely connected optical network, and also the mesh-of-optical-buses parallel computer (MOB-PC), which has a mesh of optical buses as its communication network. The particular communication problem that we study is that of realizing an h-relation. In this problem, each processor has at most h messages to send and at most h messages to receive. It is clear that any 1-relation can be realized in one communication step on an OCPC. However, the best previously known p-processor OCPC algorithm for realizing an arbitrary h-relation for h > 1 requires $\Theta(h + \log p)$ expected communication steps. (This algorithm is due to Valiant and is based on earlier work of Anderson and Miller.) Valiant's algorithm is optimal only for $h=\Omega(\log p)$, and it is an open question of Gereb-Graus and Tsantilas whether there is a faster algorithm for h=o(log p). In this paper, we answer this question in the affirmative and we extend the range of optimality by considering the case in which $h\leq \log p$. In particular, we present a $\Theta(h + \log\log p)$-communication-step randomized algorithm that realizes an arbitrary h-relation on a p-processor OCPC. We show that if $h\leq \log p$, then the failure probability can be made as small as $p^{-\alpha}$ for any positive constant $\alpha$. We use the OCPC algorithm as a subroutine in a $\Theta(h + \log\log p)$-communication-step randomized algorithm that realizes an arbitrary h-relation on a $p\times p$-processor MOB-PC. Once again, we show that if $h\leq \log p$, then the failure probability can be made as small as $p^{-\alpha}$ for any positive constant $\alpha$.
Three-dimensional structure of single-shelled bluetongue virus

The three-dimensional structure of single-shelled bluetongue virus has been determined to a resolution of 3 nm by using electron cryomicroscopy and image-processing techniques. The single-shelled virion has a diameter of 69 nm. The three-dimensional structure of the virion has icosahedral symmetry with a triangulation number of 13 in a left-handed configuration. The three-dimensional structure can be described in terms of two concentric layers of density surrounding a central core density. Two distinctive features of the outer layer are the 260 knobby capsomeres located at all the local and strict threefold axes and the aqueous channels located at all the five- and six-coordinated positions. These protrusions extend outward from an inner radius of 28 nm. They are interconnected out to a radius of 30 nm by saddle-shaped densities across the local and strict twofold axes. The aqueous channels surrounded by these capsomeres are about 8 nm wide at the outer surface and 8 nm deep. Some of these channels extend inward, penetrating the inner layer. These channels may provide pathways for transporting the metabolites and mRNA during the transcriptase activity of the particles. The inner layer is a featureless smooth bed of density except for the indentations in register with the channels of the outer layer. We propose that the 260 capsomeres in the outer layer are made up of trimers of the major protein, VP7, and that the inner layer is composed of the second major protein, VP3. The density in the central portion of the structure at a radius of less than 21 nm is likely due to the minor proteins and the genomic RNA.
A Review: Hemodynamics of Cerebral Aneurysm with Mathematical Modeling

Hemodynamic parameters of cerebral aneurysm play an important role in the progression, growth and rupture of an aneurysm. Therefore, the knowledge of hemodynamic parameters may provide physicians with understanding of aneurysm initiation, growth and rupture. Progression of medical imaging technology and improvement of the computer has enabled to predict the hemodynamics of aneurysm with increase accuracy using computational analysis. In this paper, computational hemodynamic studies on cerebral aneurysm initiation, growth and rupture are reviewed. A mathematical model to govern the flow in an aneurysm is also presented. A mathematical model and the computational of hemodynamics in cerebral aneurysm are expected to provide for planing and decision for treatment.
Leukocyte‐derived growth factor links the PDGF and CXC chemokine families of peptides

Leukocytes produce many biological mediators that orchestrate the subsequent cellular events during wound healing. We have identified a novel cytokine, leukocyte‐derived growth factor (LDGF), which is mitogenic for connective tissue cells. Sequence analysis of the LDGF peptide revealed that it is a precursor of other known peptides including platelet basic protein (PBP), connective tissue activating peptide III (CTAP‐III), and neutrophil activating peptide 2 (NAP‐2). None of these shorter peptides are active as mitogens for fibroblasts. LDGF appears to stimulate fibroblast growth by stimulation of tyrosine kinase activity of the PDGF receptors. One of the truncated products of LDGF, NAP‐2, is a potent neutrophil chemoattractant. Peptides larger than NAP‐2, such as PBP and CTAP‐III, are not active as neutrophil chemoattractants. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that the LDGF peptide must remain intact in order to retain its fibroblast mitogenic activity. If the LDGF peptide is processed to release the carboxyl terminal half to generate NAP‐2, a peptide with proinflammatory activity is generated. These results indicate that the multiple peptides produced from the LDGF‐PBP gene posses divergent biological activities that could regulate different phases of the repair process. —Iida, N. , Haisa, M. , Igarashi, A. , Pencev, D. , Grotendorst, G.

Efecto de dos protocolos de ejercicios en personas mayores de 65 años institucionalizadas

Among older people, the health is one of the most important aspects of the quality of life, especially emphasizing the important of the physical condition as the ability to attain and maintain their maximum independence. The general objective is to quantify the effect on the dynamic and static balance, strength and flexibility of the extremities for a period of 3 months and then, the consequences of another three months without exercises. Methodology: Study pre- and post-training with a random sample with 36 institutionalized old men, people over 65 years old with normal-mild cognitive impairment, divided into three groups: vestibular exercises, power exercises, and a non-intervention control group. Results: A significant improvement with balance, flexibility and muscle strength of the lower limbs in each of the group in relation to the control group. The decline of functional capacities measured by a battery of tests after three months without intervention. Conclusions: Balance, muscle strength and flexibility of the lower and upper extremities in institutionalized people over 65 of this study improve following the treatment protocols designed from the lower-limbs power exercises and vestibular exercises in relation to the control group. The functional capacity goes down unless they exercise regularly to improve results.
Viruses, cancer cells, and the genetic concept of virus infection.

The experimental evidence for the role of vi ruses in the etiology of some cancers has recently been reviewed by several investigators active in this field (3, 25). A review by an outsider would only add confusion to an already complex field. This is one justification for not attempting any detailed survey of tumor viruses in this paper. Another, possibly a more valid one, is that this conference may concern itself at least as much with the place of virology in cancer research as with the role of viruses in cancer. A useful intro duction for the presentations that will follow mine may be, therefore, a survey of recent ad vances in basic virology, which have produced some unifying concepts on the relation of viruses to cellular constituents and to cellular functions. Before discussing viruses, however, it seems desirable to state some problems of cancer etiol ogy in very simple terms, so that we can see what is required of viruses when they are called upon to act as carcinogenic agents. A cancer cell is a cell that has become intrin sically altered and capable of multiplying by es caping the normal growth regulation by certain control mechanisms. The control mechanisms can be either internal or external to the cell. The in ternal control mechanisms presumably include interactions among cellular constituents, as well as receptor systems for external factors. The ex ternal mechanisms that regulate cellular multi plication are partially known from studies on compensatory hyperplasia and regeneration, on the function of endocrine glands, and on tissue transplantation ( 77 ). They include hormonal and immunological mechanisms, as well as somewhat elusive mechanisms of local regulation. The sites of action of hormones on cell functions are main-
Evaluating the Employment Impact of a Mandatory Job Search Program: The New Deal for Young People in the UK

This paper exploits the differential timing of the introduction of a labor market program across areas as well as agerelated eligibility rules to identify the treatment effect of a targeted active labor market program. We are especially concerned about substitution and equilibrium wage effects. The program studied is the “New Deal for the Young Unemployed” in the UK and uses an administrative panel data on individuals between 1982 and 1999. This mandatory program involves extensive job assistance for young unemployed followed by various other options, including wage subsidies. Estimates of the employment effects of the mandatory job search assistance part of the program are presented using a variety of estimation techniques exploring combined "difference in differences” and matching procedures. Based on the pilot study we find that the New Deal program raised employment by a significant about 5 percentage points.
Facilitators and Barriers to Linkage to HIV Care among Female Sex Workers Receiving HIV Testing Services at a Community-Based Organization in Periurban Uganda: A Qualitative Study

Introduction. While four in ten female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa are infected with HIV, only a small proportion is enrolled in HIV care. We explored facilitators and barriers to linkage to HIV care among FSWs receiving HIV testing services at a community-based organization in periurban Uganda. Methods. The cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted among 28 HIV positive FSWs from May to July 2014. Key informant interviews were conducted with five project staff and eleven peer educators. Data were collected on facilitators for and barriers to linkage to HIV care and manually analyzed following a thematic framework approach. Results. Facilitators for linkage to HIV care included the perceived good quality of health services with same-day results and immediate initiation of treatment, community peer support systems, individual's need to remain healthy, and having alternative sources of income. Linkage barriers included perceived stigma, fear to be seen at outreach HIV clinics, fear and myths about antiretroviral therapy, lack of time to attend clinic, and financial constraints. Conclusion. Linkage to HIV care among FSWs is influenced by good quality friendly services and peer support. HIV service delivery programs for FSWs should focus on enhancing these and dealing with barriers stemming from stigma and misinformation.
On the Capacity of Special Classes of Gaussian Relay Networks with Orthogonal Components and Noncausal State Information at Source

In this paper, we study relay networks with orthogonal components in presence of noncausal channel state information (CSI) available at the source. We propose an upper bound on the capacity of the discrete memoryless model (DM)for the case in which just the source component intended for the destination is encoded against the CSI known non-causally at the source. Also, we derive capacity for two special classes of the Gaussian structure of the model. The first class is the one for which we have obtained the upper bound and the second class is the one in which all of the source components intended for the relays and destination are encoded against the noncausal CSI, however, no interference at the relays and destination exists in this case.
The Kundum Festival in Ghana: Ritual Interaction with the Nonhuman among the Akan

During the Kundum festival in Ghana, people ritually express their wishes for productive farming and fishing seasons, social progress, spiritual protection, and a healthy natural environment, bringing into play the nonhumans expected to uphold or oppose these objectives. This article contributes to an improved analysis of the perspectives of intersubjectivity, relationship, and community in African rituals by examining the interaction between nonhumans and humans in the Kundum festival. It analyzes some of the transitional rites that constitute Kundum. These rites are less the markers of life-cycle or seasonal transitions than the very cultural resources by which transitions are put into effect in creating hope for the fertility of farmlands and rivers. They are linked to the creation of a purified food production season, to healing, to the roles assigned to nonhumans in the initiation of the festival, and to a configuration of relationships in a shared world.
Quickest detection of an abrupt change in a random sequence with finite time change

This paper proposes a new procedure for quickest detection of an abrupt change in a random sequence, where a change is known to occur with probability one. Applications include on-line speech segmentation, edge detection in image processing, and communications channel monitoring. In contrast to Shiryayev's (1963) problem formulation, prior knowledge of a change-time distribution is not required. The optimality criterion considered is similar to Shiryayev's, except that the expected delay is to be minimized subject to both overall false alarm probability and false alarm average run length constraints under this criterion, theoretical study shows that the new procedure approximates an optimal but unrealizable Bayesian procedure, particularly for small signal changes or for low probability of false alarm. Simulations confirm that under such conditions, the new procedure compares favorably with Page's (1954) CUSUM, an optimized moving-window fixed-sample-size (FSS) procedure, and a special ease of the Girshick-Rubin-Shiryayev (1952) procedure. >
RNAiDB and PhenoBlast: web tools for genome-wide phenotypic mapping projects

RNA interference (RNAi) is being used in large-scale genomic studies as a rapid way to obtain in vivo functional information associated with specific genes. How best to archive and mine the complex data derived from these studies provides a series of challenges associated with both the methods used to elicit the RNAi response and the functional data gathered. RNAiDB (RNAi Database; http://www. rnai.org) has been created for the archival, distribution and analysis of phenotypic data from large-scale RNAi analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans. The database contains a compendium of publicly available data and provides information on experimental methods and phenotypic results, including raw data in the form of images and streaming time-lapse movies. Phenotypic summaries together with graphical displays of RNAi to gene mappings allow quick intuitive comparison of results from different RNAi assays and visualization of the gene product(s) potentially inhibited by each RNAi experiment based on multiple sequence analysis methods. RNAiDB can be searched using combinatorial queries and using the novel tool PhenoBlast, which ranks genes according to their overall phenotypic similarity. RNAiDB could serve as a model database for distributing and navigating in vivo functional information from large-scale systematic phenotypic analyses in different organisms.
Design of minimal-order unknown input observer for singular systems using generalized matrix inverse

This paper presents the design of a minimal order unknown input observer (UIO) for linear time invariant (LTI) continuous-time singular systems. The approach is based on the knowledge of generalized matrix inverse. An application of this observer for estimation of unknown inputs is described. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed scheme.
Characterization of a shared buffer optoelectronic packet router

The rapid increase in Internet traffic is forcing packet routers to grow in capacity to meet the demand. Optical packet routers with less buffering and a greater degree of optical transparency are actively being researched as a way to improve energy efficiency and capacity scaling over traditional electronic routers. Since it is difficult to buffer packets in the optical domain, in this paper we analyze the performance of a hybrid optoelectronic packet router. The router architecture has multiple optical switch planes and a shared electronic buffer to resolve output-port contention. By using multiple ports on the switch planes for each input and output fiber, and by using some switch-plane ports to inter-connect the planes, we can achieve a relatively low packet loss ratio in a router with no buffer. In this case, most traffic can be switched using only the through optical paths of the router without entering the shared buffer. The shared electronic buffer is primarily used to reduce the packet drop ratio under periods of heavy loads and occasionally for optical regeneration of a packet.We run extensive simulations to evaluate the performance of the router with varying number of switch plane ports, number of connections to the electronic buffer, and number of interconnections between the switch planes. We show that the router can provide good throughput, with realistic on-off bursty traffic and asynchronous packet arrivals.
Higher risk of colic in infants of nonmanual employee mothers with a demanding work situation in pregnancy

In this population-based study, we assessed the relation between socioeconomic and psychosocial conditions in 1,094 pregnant women and subsequent infantile colic by means of self-administered questionnaires measuring exposures in the 17th pregnancy week and telephone interviews at infant age 5 weeks. There was a higher risk of colic in infants born to younger mothers, mothers with low instrumental support in pregnancy, and mothers with nonmanual occupations. Having an “active” job situation, that is, high demands and high decision latitude at work, acted synergistically with a nonmanual occupation, yielding even higher odds ratios for colic as did concomitant low instrumental support and nonmanual occupation. An expected synergy between low social participation and nonmanual occupation could not be demonstrated. Findings from gender-related research may partly explain some of these results.

Identifying Cores of Semantic Classes in Unstructured Text with a Semi-supervised Learning Approach

Cores of semantic classes in scenario descriptions can be extremely valuable in question-answering, information extraction, and document retrieval. We propose a semi-supervised learning approach to automatically identify and classify cores of semantic classes in un-structured text. We perform a case study on medical text. The results show that the selected features characterize the cluster structure of the data, and unlabeled data is effectively explored in the classiﬁcation. Compared to a state-of-the-art supervised approach, the performance of the semi-supervised approach is much better when there is only a small amount of labeled data. The two are comparable when a large amount of labeled data is available.
Entrepreneurship Education in Secondary Education and Training

There has been a significant increase in the use of entrepreneurship education in schools, university colleges and universities in Europe. This paper investigates entrepreneurship education in secondary education and training in Norway. Entrepreneurship is organized as a separate subject, as a topic in other subjects, or is integrated in subjects through projects. The first part of the paper systematizes entrepreneurship education in secondary schools, using a distinction between three approaches: about, for and through entrepreneurship. The second part is empirical, and presents the first high-quality quantitative study of the distribution of entrepreneurship education projects in secondary education and training in Norway. It shows that approximately 90% of secondary schools provide entrepreneurship education. The authors use a combination of data covering the whole population of secondary schools and data from a survey among a representative sample of school leaders.
