Automated Temperature Profiling During Hot-Mix Asphalt Construction
Authors: Stroup-Gardiner Mary , Nixon Jeff , Das Priyabrata (Thomas)
Published: April 2007

The prototype infrared sensor bar originally developed for NCHRP-IDEA Project 73 was adapted and used for monitoring temperature profiles during the reconstruction of selected test track sections at the Auburn University National Center for Asphalt Technology. The sensor bar provides automatic temperature data collection across the back of the paver. The unit, and all electronics, can be mounted on the paver in less than 2 min. Results from the sensor bar correlate well with handheld infrared gun data once an offset to calibrate the sensor bar readings is applied. Sensor bar temperature measurements can accurately predict the hot-mix asphalt cooling curve theoretically predicted from the PaveCool software program. Temperature contour plots can be obtained easily from the temperature data automatically collected during construction. These contour maps can be used to identify the start of paving, the consistency of the operation, and the length of time of any stops.
Process for Selecting Innovative Quality Assurance Practices for Materials
Authors: Benson Paul E.
Published: April 2007

A process used in California to evaluate and implement innovative quality assurance practices for materials is described. The process involves three distinct phases: an audit of current practice, a structured evaluation of innovative practices, and the planned development of a materials management system (MMS). More than 1,600 performance elements were identified and categorized by material type. The quality assurance practice for each element was documented, and an assessment was made of its criticality on the basis of the consequence of failure. Testing and inspection workload for each materials category is determined through workload standards, sampling frequencies, and bid quantities. Analyses of these data reveal that testing and inspection costs are higher, dollar for dollar, for materials whose consequence of failure is low. This suggests that innovative practices such as quality control–quality assurance (QC/QA), pre- or postqualification of bidders, and warranties should be considered seriously for these materials. Evaluation of recent QC/QA projects indicates that adoption of innovative practices may not save dollars in the short term, but it can free resources for redirection to more critical needs and may provide higher quality work. The structured evaluation process used to assess the appropriateness of 18 primary and 11 supporting quality assurance options by performance element is described, and tables detail the decision logic used. Many of these options rely on an effective method for storing materials test information and tracking contractor and producer compliance. Design considerations for an MMS capable of providing this ability are discussed.
Context-Sensitive Construction Solutions
Authors: Edson Charles T.
Published: April 2007

Many infrastructure improvements concern citizens who would like to have their interests addressed in a productive manner. Most agencies involve the public in the planning and design phases to some extent, which may not alleviate concerns, and thus concerns continue into the construction phase and can generate negative press and upset people. An effective community relations program can address citizen concerns. Several project approaches include segments that can be used in combination to develop future plans. The experience gained can be viewed as applying only to that particular situation at that time and as not valuable for any project in the future, but some community relations activities can be evaluated for effectiveness under particular project circumstances. Then these activities can be segmented and categorized to be placed in future project plans. If the community relations activities include previous successes, a project can be successful in a manner acceptable to all. How community concerns were addressed during a construction project is outlined. Acceptable techniques are developed and linked to special situations. Some of these techniques relate to commercial activities, some to service providers, and some to local residents. The research product is a cookbook approach for developing plans to address community concerns during the construction of an infrastructure improvement. This approach forms a base from which a comprehensive model may be developed to address concerns on all construction projects.
Adventures in Building Another Washington Monument: Rebid Outcomes of Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project
Authors: Douglass Robert , Healy Robert , Mohler Thomas , Cleveland Shirlene
Published: April 2007

In December 2001, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SKA) opened a single bid for the substructure and superstructure contract to replace the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, the crossing of the Potomac River for I-95 and I-495 (Capital Beltway) traffic. This contract was part of the larger Woodrow Wilson Bridge project, a $2.5 billion project to build the new Potomac River crossing and to reconstruct the four interchanges in its vicinity. The contract’s estimate was a record for SHA at $487 million. The single bid was for a budget-wrecking $860 million and was rejected. The design team regrouped and focused its efforts on innovative means for bringing the project back on budget. Maryland SHA convened an independent review committee (IRC). Composed of industry experts, the IRC advised the design team on making the contract less expensive and more attractive to contractors to increase competition and reduce costs. Ultimately, the work was readvertised as three separate contracts. The outcome of redesigning and readvertising was to reduce the total bid amount for the work by $362 million. Several lessons were learned in handling megaprojects: reach out to the construction industry early and often to rouse and maintain interest in the project; make terms of the contracts as contractor friendly as reasonable; and, when sizing the contract, ensure that it is manageable and that it balances competition and contract interface risk.
Does empathy predict adolescents' bullying and defending behavior?
Authors: Gini Gianluca , Albiero Paolo , Benelli Beatrice , Altoè Gianmarco
Published: April 2007

Through structural equation modeling, this study tested a path of relations in which different levels of empathic responsiveness were posited to be differently associated to bullying and defending behavior. Three hundred and eighteen Italian adolescents (142 girls and 176 boys; mean age = 13.2 years) completed the Davis's Interpersonal Reactivity Index [Davis, 1983] for empathy and the Participant role scales [Salmivalli et al., 1996] for bullying and defending behavior. The results revealed that the model fitted the data adequately, but only in the case of boys. As hypothesized, low levels of empathic responsiveness were associated to students' involvement in bullying others. In contrast, empathy was positively associated with actively helping victimized schoolmates. However, the estimates algorithm did not reach convergence with girls' data. The current findings confirm and extend the literature on the relation between empathy, prosociality and aggressive behavior. Educational implications are also discussed. Aggr.

Weakly aggressive behaviour towards nymphs in the cockroach Schultesia nitor (Blattaria: Zetoborinae)
Authors: Baaren Joan Van , Deleporte Pierre , Vimard Aurélie , Biquand Véronique , Pierre Jean‐Sebastien
Published: April 2007

This paper describes aggressive behaviour in the cockroach Schultesia nitor, a tropical forest species living in bird nests. Young S. nitor nymphs are known to show active dispersal while old nymphs and adults are contrastingly strongly gregarious, a combination of features never observed in other cockroach species. Our laboratory experiments using video recording of confrontations between pairs show that aggressive behaviour towards conspecific nymphs is not exhibited towards nymphs of the species Phoetalia pallida, and thus can be considered species specific in S. nitor. But, it is not kin oriented: the mother and all adults of both sexes in different physiological states exhibit this behaviour as well. Six types of aggressive interactions were discriminated, occurring in age‐symmetric pairs of nymphs and adults. Even more frequent aggression was exhibited by adults and last instar nymphs towards younger nymphs of all instars. The frequency of aggressive acts and types of aggressive interactions varied according to sex and size of the two interacting individuals. The possible function and evolution of this behaviour is discussed, with emphasis on the difficulty of interpreting obvious but weak and not kin‐biased aggression. Aggr.

Carbonyldinitrosyltris(fluorosulfato)tungstate(II) and ‐Molybdate(II) Anions: Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Density Functional Theory Calculations
Authors: Xu Qiang , Tsumori Nobuko , Jiang Ling , Kondo Masanobu , Arakawa Ryuichi
Published: April 2007

Carbonyldinitrosyltris(fluorosulfato)tungstate(II) and ‐molybdate‐(II) anions, [fac‐M(CO)(NO)2(SO3F)3]− (M=W, Mo), which are novel weakly coordinating anions that contain a metal carbonyl/nitrosyl moiety, have been generated in fluorosulfonic acid and completely characterized by multinuclear NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy as well as ESI mass spectrometry. ESI MS measurements performed for the first time on a superacidic solution system unambiguously reveal the formation of the monoanionic, mononuclear W and Mo complexes formulated as [M(CO)(NO)2(SO3F)3]− (M=W, Mo). Multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies at natural abundance and 13C and 15N enrichment clearly indicate the presence of one CO ligand, two equivalent NO ligands, and two types of nonequivalent SO3F− groups in a 2:1 ratio. The IR and Raman spectra reveal that the two equivalent NO ligands have a cis conformation, thus indicating a fac structure. Density functional calculations at the B3LYP level of theory predict that these anions have a singlet ground state (1A′) with a Cs symmetry along with C–O and N–O vibrational frequencies that are in agreement with the experimental observations. Mulliken population analysis shows that the monovalent negative charge is dispersed on the bulky sphere, the surface of which is covered by all the negatively charged O and F atoms with charge densities much lower than SO3F−, suggesting that [fac‐M(CO)(NO)2(SO3F)3]− (M=W, Mo) are weakly nucleophilic and poorly coordinating anions.
Gliclazide: pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic relationships in rats
Authors: Štětinová V. , Květina J. , Pastera J. , Polášková A. , Pražáková M.
Published: April 2007

The relationship between the pharmacokinetics of gliclazide and its antidiabetic efficacy were evaluated on the basis of experimental determination of changes with time in the plasma levels of this antidiabetic agent and those of glucose. The experiment included rats with both initial normal glycaemia and alloxan‐induced hyperglycaemia (glycaemia increased by a minimum of 30%). Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were examined in the interval of 30 to 180 min after p.o. administration of a single dose of 25 mg/kg of gliclazide. The drug was administered on day 4, following a single i.v. dose of either 50 mg/kg of alloxan (hyperglycaemic group) or the injection vehicle (control group). Even though the biological availability of gliclazide was similar in both normoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic animals, the gliclazide‐induced hypoglycaemizing response was not uniform: until 60 min, the decrease of glycaemia was smaller in animals with alloxan hyperglycaemia (23% decrease at 60 min) in contrast to the normoglycaemic animals (36% decrease at 60 min), at later times, the intensity of this hypoglycaemizing effect of gliclazide persisted in the hyperglycaemic animals, while in the normoglycaemic ones, a reversal of the hypoglycaemizing effect occurred.

Impact of surgeon volume and specialization on short-term outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery
Authors: Borowski D W , Kelly S B , Bradburn D M , Wilson R G , Gunn A , Ratcliffe A A
Published: April 2007

Background

Several studies have shown a relationship between surgeon volume and outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of surgeon volume and specialization on primary tumour resection rate, restoration of bowel continuity following rectal cancer resection, anastomotic leakage and perioperative mortality.

Methods

The Northern Region Colorectal Cancer Audit Group conducts a population-based audit of patients with colorectal cancer managed by surgeons. This study examined 8219 patients treated between 1998 and 2002. Outcomes were modelled using multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Results

Tumour resection was performed in 6949 (93·8 per cent) of 7411 patients. High-volume surgeons with an annual caseload of at least 18·5 (odds ratio (OR) 1·53 (95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 1·10 to 2·12); P = 0·012) and colorectal specialists (OR 1·42 (95 per cent c.i. 1·06 to 1·90); P = 0·018) were more likely to perform elective sphincter-saving rectal surgery. In elective surgery, the risk of perioperative death was lower for high-volume surgeons (OR 0·58 (95 per cent c.i. 0·44 to 0·76); P < 0·001), but this was not the case in emergency surgery.

Conclusion

High-volume surgeons had lower perioperative mortality rates for elective surgery, and were more likely to use restorative rectal procedures.
A language perspective to environmental management and corporate responsibility
Authors: Joutsenvirta Maria
Published: April 2007

Few environmental management scholars have applied a research approach that focuses on analysing the language use through which managers and other societal actors come to describe, explain or otherwise account for environmental and social problems. This article discusses some of the important benefits that treating linguistic materials as ‘sites of language use’ offers for studying corporate responsibilities in various societal challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty. Findings from a longitudinal discourse analysis of the debate between a leading global forest industry company (Stora Enso) and a global environmental organization (Greenpeace) demonstrate the utility of a research approach that focuses on the discussants' language use. The article shows how the application of a language perspective opens up new avenues for understanding how certain ways of talking about corporate responsibilities may hinder or facilitate our efforts to steer corporate actions into a more balanced relationship with nature and society.

Intra‐articular inclusions of the elbow joint complex
Authors: Mercer Susan R. , Bogduk Nikolai
Published: April 2007

An abundant clinical literature implicates intra‐articular inclusions in various pathological conditions of the elbow, but the anatomical literature offers piecemeal descriptions of these structures. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, disposition, and gross morphology of intra‐articular inclusions of the entire elbow joint complex. Twenty‐eight elbow joints from 17 adult embalmed cadavera were studied by macrodissection. Three types of inclusions were identified. Fat pads and fibroadipose meniscoids were found in all joints while capsular rims occurred in 50% of radiohumeral and humeroulnar joints. Fat pads were located opposite the olecranon, coronoid, and radial fossae. Fibroadipose meniscoids were found in the nonarticular waists of the trochlear notch and protruded into the posterolateral aspect of the radiohumeral joint. Fibroadipose meniscoids and fat pads are characteristic structures of the elbow joint complex. Fat pads appear to act as deformable space fillers, while the radio‐humeral fibroadipose meniscoid appears to protect articular cartilage exposed during normal movement. Arguments are raised whether these structures may act as the nidus for arthrofibrosis and that the radiohumeral meniscoid may be involved in lateral epicondylalgia. Clin.

Cisterna chyli: A detailed anatomic investigation
Authors: Loukas Marios , Wartmann Christopher T. , Louis Robert G. , Tubbs R. Shane , Salter E. George , Gupta Ankmalika A. , Curry Brian
Published: April 2007

With recent laparoscopic advancements in retroperitoneal and thoracic surgical procedures, familiarity with major lymphatic structures, such as including the cisterna chyli (CC) and thoracic duct (TD), has proven beneficial in avoiding misdiagnosis and iatrogenic intraoperative injury. In this light, the aim of our study was to explore and delineate the topography of the CC, classify the different patterns of lymphatic tributaries, and categorize its varying location with respect to the vertebral bodies. The anatomy of the CC was examined in 120 adult human cadavers. The CC was found in 83.3% of the specimens and both the tributaries of the CC and the location, with respect to vertebral level, demonstrated wide variation. The results were classified into four types. The most common tributary configuration (type I), found in 45% specimens, was a single CC formed by the union of the left lumbar trunk (LT) and the intestinal trunk (IT). In 30% the CC was formed where the IT opened into the TD and the right lumbar trunk (RT), LT, retroaortic nodes (RN) and branches from the intercostal lymphatics (IL) joined variably (type II). In 20% the CC was formed by the junction of the RT and IT (type III), while in 5% there was a variable confluence pattern of lymphatic trunks that could not be classified (type IV). The CC was located at L1‐L2 (type A) in 63%, T12‐L1 (type B) in 21%, T11‐T12 (type C) in 8%, T10‐11 (type D) in 5%, and T9‐10 (Type E) in 3%, of the specimens. The CC was found in the retrocrural space and, in 75% of the cases, to the right of the abdominal aorta. We hope that the data supplied by this study will provide useful information in the future to anatomists, radiologists and surgeons alike. Clin. Anat. 20:683–688, 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Mergers and group status: the impact of high, low and equal group status on identification and satisfaction with a company merger, experienced controllability, group identity and group cohesion
Authors: Fischer Peter , Greitemeyer Tobias , Omay Suat Ilkay , Frey Dieter
Published: March 2007

Although mergers are seen as tools to enhance business in today's global marketplace, they have had a low success rate, possibly because the focus has been on financial and legal issues rather than on the human factors involved. In this respect, focusing on the social psychological variables, social identity theory can provide an explanation for the failure of most mergers. An experiment based on this theory involving mergers between two workgroups was conducted to investigate the effects of merger‐related status on participants' psychological responses to the mergers. Thirty‐six small groups were assigned to three different status groups (high, low and equal status groups) using the minimal group paradigm. Most negative responses to the merger—in terms of identification with the merger group, satisfaction with the merger, common in‐group identity, group cohesion and controllability—were given by the members of the low status groups. Contrary to expectations, status was not related to the performance of the groups. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Deformation by examples: a density flow approach
Authors: Leung Hoi‐Chau , Hui Kin‐Chuen
Published: April 2007

In this article, a shape transformation technique is introduced for deforming objects based on a given deformation example. The example consists of two reference shapes representing two different states of an object. The reference shapes are assumed to morph from one state to the other. The evolution between the two reference shapes determines the shape transformation function. Any given objects can then be deformed by the same transformation. A continuous 4D Radial Basis Function is used to construct a density flow field (an extension of the optical flow in computer vision) representing the shape transformation of the example in 3‐space. Objects embedded in the density flow field are deformed by moving vertices of the objects along the density flow vectors. Additional parameters are introduced to control the process of the deformation. This provides explicit control on the shape of the object obtained in the deformation process.
