A coiling robot for elevator compensation chain
Authors: Shi Xianchuan , Gao Liang , Qian Lei , Cheng Mingya , Jiang Kyle 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a coiling robot in the production of coated elevator compensation chains to replace the manual coiling operations and improve the quality of compensation chains.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper introduces both mechanical and servo control system designs of the coiling robot. The structure of two friction wheels stabilizes the conveying speed of compensation chain, so the chain speed matches with the car speed. A centering mechanism pushes the chain to its original position. Seven servo motors are integrated into the system, and they are controlled by a servo control system based on programmable logic controller, positioning controller, analog output block and touch screen.

Findings
The results of the project show that the coiling robot can both greatly reduce the number of workers and the intensity of the work and improve the quality of the chain. The chain lid by the robot is not only neat, but also uniform in its inner stress.

Research limitations/implications
When the output speed of the compensation chain from the rear friction wheel does not match the coiling speed, the coiling operation has to be halted. Then, the operator adjusts the chain speed and restarts the coiling operation.

Practical implications
The coiling robot is proven working. It has been adopted by a leading company manufacturing compensation chains.

Originality/value
This is the first coiling robot which is practically used in a production line of compensation chains. Its design, mechanism and control systems are of great reference values to people.
Survey of the research capacity of clinical psychologists in Ireland
Authors: McHugh Patrick , Corcoran Mark , Byrne Michael 
Published: June 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to profile the research activity, research skills and enablers of research of clinical psychologists in the Republic of Ireland.Design/methodology/approach– All clinical psychologists working in the Health Service Executive (HSE) or HSE-funded organisations were requested to complete an online survey examining their research capacity. A total of 170 clinical psychologists completed the survey, with an estimated response rate of 20-25 per cent.Findings– Within the preceding two years, 60 per cent (n=102) of the clinical psychologists sampled had engaged in research. These research active participants were involved with a median of three projects and the majority spent 10 per cent or less of their work time engaged in research. The weakest research skills of research active and research inactive participants were applying for research funding and publishing research. Research active participants indicated a reliance on their own personal motivation to maintain their research activity and indicated a need for more protected time for research.Practical implications– Managers within the health service need to be incentivised to allocate protected work time for research that directly contributes to service provision. Greater collaboration with academic institutions is needed with regard to targeting the research skills development of clinical psychologists, as well as identifying opportunities for collaborative research.Originality/value– This is the first survey to profile the research activity and skills of clinical psychologists in the Republic of Ireland and provides an evidence base for future research capacity development.
Exploring the impact of the recovery academy: a qualitative study of Recovery College experiences
Authors: Zabel Elisabeth , Donegan Grace , Lawrence Kate , French Paul 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
– Recovery Colleges strive to assist individuals in their journey of recovery and help organisations to become more recovery focused. The evidence base surrounding Recovery Colleges is still in its infancy and further research is required to investigate their effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to explore the subjective experience of people involved with a Recovery College: “The Recovery Academy” based in Greater Manchester.

Design/methodology/approach
– A qualitative study using data collected from four focus groups of Recovery Academy students who have either lived experience of mental health problems, are health professionals or are family members or carers. The data were analysed using thematic analysis.

Findings
– Four main themes emerged from discussing experiences of the Recovery Academy and its courses: ethos of the Recovery Academy; personal and organisational impact; value of co-production; and barriers to engagement and impact. The Recovery Academy can have a positive impact on the lives of students who attend the courses and offer benefits to the organisation in which it is run.

Originality/value
– Recovery Colleges are gaining large interest nationally. However, to date there is a paucity of research on Recovery Colleges. This is the first paper to be presented for publication specifically on the Recovery Academy. The findings of this study suggest Recovery Colleges have the potential to positively impact students and facilitate recovery oriented organisational change. The findings can add valuable data to the emerging Recovery College evidence base.

Determinants of perceived success in management consulting
Authors: Bronnenmayer Matias , Wirtz Bernd W. , Göttel Vincent 
Published: June 2016

PurposeThis paper aims to conceptualizeperceived management consulting success, derive relevant success factors based on principal-agent theory and the resource-based view as well as investigate the particular factors’ influence. Management consulting has become important for improving the competitiveness of a variety of firms. Surprisingly, there is little empirical evidence clarifying what constitutes a successful management consulting project.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct a survey to empirically investigate the hypotheses. They develop the survey instrument through a literature review, expert interviews, a pre-test and an item-sorting test. To analyze the data from 348 management consultants, the authors apply structural equation modeling. Additionally, they choose a triangulation approach by asking secondary informants about the originally surveyed consultants’ responses.FindingsInitially, the authors develop the second-order constructperceived management consulting success, consisting of the factorscompliance with budget and schedule,degree of target achievement,profitabilityas well asexpansion and extension. Additionally, they develop an understanding of management consulting’s success factors. In this regard, five of six factors show a significant impact onperceived management consulting success.Originality/valueAccording to the results, the factorintensity of collaborationis of highest importance forperceived management consulting success. Further, the factorscommon vision,consultant expertiseandtop management supportshow comparably strong significant influences. Yet, the authors have to reject the hypothesis about trust. This result conveys the complicacy of the consultant–client relationship and shows that building a trustful relationship between both parties is hard to accomplish.

Authors: Shams Nateri A. , Dehnavi E. , Hajipour A. , Ekrami E. 
Published: June 2016

PurposeThe aim of the paper was to study the effects of mordanting methods on the absorption behaviour of cochineal natural dye on polyamide fibres.Design/methodology/approachIron sulphate and aluminium potassium sulphate salts were used as mordanting agents, and bottom mordanting, meta-mordanting and after mordanting methods were applied in the dyeing of polyamide samples with the cochineal natural dye. Colourimetric evaluations were carried out, and the principal component analysis was used to investigate the spectrophotometric properties of the dyed samples. Fastness properties of the dyed samples were also assessed.FindingsThe obtained results indicate that the method of mordanting has a great effect on the obtained shades, absorption behaviour and fastness properties. Based on the results, it was concluded that polyamide fabrics could be successfully dyed with cochineal and combination of dyeing with different mordanting methods, and different mordanting agents would develop the range of obtainable shades.Originality/valueThe textile and apparel industries have been widely criticised for their role in polluting the environment. So, the use of synthetic dyes has been limited and the use of natural dyes has increased. The literature survey indicates that there have been relatively few works investigating the dyeing of polyamide with cochineal natural dye. This research studies the effects of mordanting methods and mordant types on colourimetric and fastness properties of cochineal-dyed polyamide samples.

Published: June 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify different automotive coatings using Confocal Raman microscope which could hardly be differentiated with Fourier transform infrared microscope (FTIR).Design/methodology/approachRaman spectroscopy was used to provide extra vibration information to infrared spectroscopy. Paints preparation was not necessary, and only 30 s was needed for each sample in an optimised method. Paints were first analysed by FTIR and then compared with Raman microscope.FindingsRaman microscope was used to address the lack of ability of FTIR in discriminating four groups of paints in same colours. This study indicated that Raman microscopy is especially effective in sensing pigments and could successfully identify all pigments in the paints.Research limitations/implicationsThe two instruments in combination produce accurate results than when used individually, especially in complex and multi-layered paints analysis.Practical implicationsThe method proved to be fast, accurate and non-destructive, and it could be easily applied to real cases.Originality/valueWith this method, scientists could discriminate some coating types which were hard to be discriminated by other techniques.
Hispanics and public libraries
Authors: Yoo-Lee EunYoung , Rhodes Tamara , Peterson Gabriel M. 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
The fastest-growing and the largest minority group in the USA, Hispanics are known to have low health literacy because of their limited English proficiency (LEP) and other socio-economic and cultural factors. This paper aims to examine the health information-seeking behaviors of Hispanics in the e-health environment and their use of public libraries as a health information source/service.

Design/methodology/approach
An interviewer-administered survey was conducted using a semi-structured instrument. The questionnaires inquired about Hispanics’ health information needs, source use and source preference; use of the library for health information needs; and their perceptions and satisfaction about the library’s consumer health information services. A total of 26 Hispanics were recruited from a Hispanic community organization, a public library and an ethnic grocery store in North Carolina.

Findings
The majority of the participants are foreign born (92.3 per cent) and non-English speakers (84.6 per cent). The internet was the most frequently used source, followed by friends/family, doctors and TV. Eighty-one per cent of the participants were internet users, and most of them (71 per cent) used the internet at home. Only 23 per cent visited a public library to search the internet for health information. Some barriers to using a public library mentioned by the participants include lack of time to visit a library, lack of skills in using the library materials, transportation, LEP, lack of eligibility for a library card, etc.

Social implications
The findings will be useful for libraries and state/federal health services to evaluate and develop library services suitable for the Hispanics’ consumer health information needs.

Originality/value
This study is one of a few studies that use an empirical study of a low health literacy ethnic population to examine the possible roles of public libraries in enhancing health literacy.
A librarian’s role in media effects health literacy
Authors: Kavanaugh Jill R. , Lavallee Kristelle , Rudd Rima 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to assess a pediatric media health effects’ toolkit from a health literacy perspective. A secondary aim is to highlight the collaborative role of an embedded librarian.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors assessed ten items from the toolkit in several formats (text, survey and video) using the following health literacy assessment tools: the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook, the Suitability Assessment of Materials, the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Printed Materials and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audio/Visual Materials.

Findings
Both the toolkit’s readability scores and understandability scores provided a deeper understanding of where improvements to the toolkit need to be made. The review process also highlighted issues with the assessment tools themselves that prevent them from providing a complete analysis of each materials’ readability and suitability.

Research limitations/implications
This initial assessment of the toolkit will serve as the backbone for additional formative research, revisions and pilot tests, which will be conducted for the toolkit to become a viable, available and usable tool for pediatricians and health-care providers. The insight gleaned from this study serves as an example, for other institutions across fields, of the importance of having professionals, such as librarians, become well-versed in health literacy and offer guidance and insight for the development of health-focused patient materials.

Originality/value
This project provides further insight into the evolving role of the embedded librarian. As gatekeepers of information with the responsibility of vetting sources, informing the creation of content, and developing resources, the integration of health literacy knowledge is imperative for librarians to further the work of their institutions and aid in the progression of their field.
Improving health literacy: health sciences library case studies
Authors: Shipman Jean P. , Lake Erica , Weber Alice I. 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
University of Utah has created various partnerships to improve health literacy and health outcomes among patient populations, employees and community members. Health sciences librarians have been key members of these partnerships. This paper aims to describe and share several of these partnerships, including training programs, research efforts and advocacy initiatives, to encourage others to engage in similar activities.

Design/methodology/approach
Case studies include outreach projects and partnerships to foster health literacy and promote healthy living such as: highly visible information resource provision and associated outreach for patients and families; community health fairs; research on providing point-of-need information for vulnerable community populations; health literacy awareness and resources for professionals; health literacy education for interprofessional students; and a competition for interprofessional students to create health videos to address a variety of topics in multiple languages.

Findings
Partnerships and outreach efforts lead to improved awareness by institutional personnel of the importance of health literacy. Research on using health literacy to empower patients and increase patient satisfaction can demonstrate how to lower institutional costs and improve guideline compliance, as well out health outcomes.

Originality/value
Librarians’ instructional skills create personal health educational content for patients and professionals; engaging colleagues to address health literacy lowers health care costs, institutional costs and increases patient compliance and satisfaction.
Case History: Using time‐lapse vertical seismic profiling data to constrain velocity–saturation relations: the Frio brine pilot CO2 injection
Authors: Al Hosni Mohammed , Caspari Eva , Pevzner Roman , Daley Thomas M. , Gurevich Boris 
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACTCO2 sequestration projects benefit from quantitative assessment of saturation distribution and plume extent for field development and leakage prevention. In this work, we carry out quantitative analysis of time‐lapse seismic by using rock physics and seismic modelling tools. We investigate the suitability of Gassmann's equation for a CO2 sequestration project with 1600 tons of CO2 injected into high‐porosity, brine‐saturated sandstone. We analyze the observed time delays and amplitude changes in a time‐lapse vertical seismic profile dataset. Both reflected and transmitted waves are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. To interpret the changes obtained from the vertical seismic profile, we perform a 2.5D elastic, finite‐difference modelling study. The results show a P‐wave velocity reduction of 750 m/s in the proximity of the injection well evident by the first arrivals (travel‐time delays and amplitude change) and reflected wave amplitude changes. These results do not match with our rock physics model using Gassmann's equation predictions even when taking uncertainty in CO2 saturation and grain properties into account. We find that time‐lapse vertical seismic profile data integrated with other information (e.g., core and well log) can be used to constrain the velocity–saturation relation and verify the applicability of theoretical models such as Gassmann's equation with considerable certainty. The study shows that possible nonelastic factors are in play after CO2 injection (e.g., CO2–brine–rock interaction and pressure effect) as Gassmann's equation underestimated the velocity reduction in comparison with field data for all three sets of time‐lapse vertical seismic profile attributes. Our work shows the importance of data integration to validate the applicability of theoretical models such as Gassmann's equation for quantitative analysis of time‐lapse seismic data.
A generalized effective anisotropic poroelastic model for periodically layered media accounting for both Biot's global and interlayer flows
Authors: Milani Marco , Monachesi Leonardo , Sabbione Juan I. , Rubino J. Germán , Holliger Klaus 
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACTWe present a generalized effective poroelastic model for periodically layered media in the mesoscopic scale range, which accounts for both Biot's global and interlayer wave‐induced fluid flow, as well as for the anisotropy associated with the layering. Correspondingly, it correctly predicts the existence of the fast and slow P‐waves as well as quasi and pure S‐waves. The proposed analytical model is validated through comparisons of the P‐wave and S‐wave phase velocity dispersion and attenuation characteristics with those inferred from a one‐dimensional numerical solution of Biot's poroelastic equations of motion. We also compare our model with the classical mesoscopic model of White for a range of scenarios. The results demonstrate that accounting for both wave‐induced fluid flow mechanisms is essential when Biot's global flow prevails at frequencies that are comparable or smaller with respect to those governing interlayer flow. This is likely to be the case in media of high permeability, such as, for example, unconsolidated sediments, clean sandstones, karstic carbonates, or fractured rocks. Conversely, when interlayer flow occurs at smaller frequencies with respect to Biot's global flow, the predictions of this model are in agreement with White's model, which is based on quasi‐static poroelasticity.
Wading bird functional diversity in a floodplain: Influence of habitat type and hydrological cycle
Authors: de Arruda Almeida Bia , Gimenes Márcio Rodrigo , dos Anjos Luiz 
Published: June 2016

AbstractWaterbirds play important roles in maintaining ecosystem functioning in wetlands. However, the lack of essential information about the levels of interaction between waterbirds and wetland characteristics is a major impediment for service valuation. In this study, we examined the influence of the flood pulse across different freshwater habitats on the functional diversity and possible assembly structuring mechanisms of herons and storks in a neotropical floodplain. We investigated functional richness, evenness and divergence as descriptors of the functional diversity in rivers, channels and both connected and isolated lagoons across different phases of the hydrological cycle. We also compared observed values of functional diversity with expected null models to untangle the main mechanisms driving assemblages. We found spatiotemporal variation in functional diversity in wader assemblages of the high Paraná River floodplain. The functional diversity of Pelecaniformes and Ciconiiformes varied mainly in rivers, channels and connected lagoons opposed to isolated lagoons in a floodplain, and mostly during flood events, right after floods or after a long period of drought. This suggests that the variation in the water level plays different roles in maintaining wading birds' functional diversity in connected and isolated habitats. Also, wading bird assemblages in this floodplain may be structured by neutral mechanisms, independent of habitat type or hydrological period, which may support the idea that species traits are not important in explaining their coexistence patterns. Our study contributes to the understanding of how environmental variations may affect functional diversity, a first step towards understanding how changes in waterbird communities affect the magnitude and stability of services provided by them.
