The interplay of structural and relational governance in innovation alliances
Authors: Garbade P.J.P. , Omta S.W.F. , Fortuin F.T.J.M. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The present paper aims to extend the discussion in the governance literature about whether structural and relational governance mechanisms complement or substitute each other in innovation alliances. Where structural governance mechanisms refer to the division of tasks within the alliance and to upfront contractual and non-contractual input, output and risk-related agreements, relational governance mechanisms refer to trust, using informal norms and rules for coordination purposes. In innovation literature much attention has been paid to relational governance, which is expected to offer more of the flexibility needed for innovation than the regulations in structural governance that are perceived as rigid. However, the authors argue that the essential role of structural governance as a solid basis for creating trust, especially in alliances in which the partners do not know each other, is clearly underexposed in management literature. To fill this gap, a model conceptualizing the innovation alliance from inception to performance was tested using Partial Least Squares, employing a cross-sectional dataset of 94 innovation alliances in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria. The results do indeed show the essential role of structural agreements in creating a platform for trust on which relational governance can strive, while a clear task division can help to reduce the complexity of the inter-organizational innovation process, by reducing the interdependency of the partners. Both structural mechanisms ease communication among the alliance partners, leading to a higher level of knowledge exchange, and ultimately leading to better alliance performance.
Pratiques de recrutement et formes de discrimination des femmes diplômées – le cas du Chili
Authors: Undurraga Rosario , Barozet Emmanuelle 
Published: December 2015

Cet article analyse les rapports entre les pratiques de sélection du personnel et la faible présence des femmes diplômées à des postes de direction dans le cas du Chili. Nous problématisons le discours sur les pratiques de recrutement et de sélection du personnel, par comparaison avec la législation en vigueur. L’article met en lumière l’existence de différentes formes de discrimination de genre, qu’elles soient directes ou indirectes, selon les secteurs de production. Malgré la standardisation des procédés pour les diplômé-e-s, la discrimination est présente à toutes les étapes du processus de sélection. Ces formes de discrimination ne se limitent pas seulement l’intégration et l’évolution des femmes aux postes de direction ; elles démontrent que la modernisation économique et sociale néolibérale met sous tension différents principes éthiques sous-jacents dans la société chilienne. L’étude est fondée sur 43 entretiens réalisés auprès d’employeurs, de recruteurs et de candidat-e-s diplômé-e-s.
Imágenes del mar de Chile. Benjamín Subercaseaux e Ignacio Balcells, paralelo literario distante
Authors: Chiuminatto Pablo , del Río Rodrigo 
Published: December 2015

El Océano Pacífico invita a quienes lo habitan a proyectar la imaginación del territorio hacia el elemento acuático. Sin embargo, estas representaciones a veces no coexisten en perfecta coherencia. En este artículo se mostrarán dos versiones del territorio chileno basadas en la contemplación del océano. Por un lado, Benjamín Subercaseaux, quien imagina en su libro Tierra de océano (1946) un mar construido para el despliegue de una epopeya a través de la imagen de los barcos y las campañas de la armada nacional. Por otro, Ignacio Balcells, quien en La mar (2001) muestra una prosa itinerante por un territorio disgregado, articulado alrededor de la imagen y la cosmovisión de la isla. El ejercicio crítico consistirá no solo en el análisis exclusivo de la escritura. Se preferirá también, en el presente ensayo, la vocación por la inserción, en ambos textos, de imágenes visuales. Estos complementos visuales del texto, lejos de ser una ilustración inocua, plasman los principios sobre los que los autores escriben una literatura marina desde el Pacífico Sur.

Published: December 2015

This	paper	presents the	design and analysis of new proposed topology micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) inductor. This new symmetric MEMS inductor is designed to reduce the total length of the conductor strip and hence reduce the resistance of the metal tracks. This results significant increases in the quality (Q) factor of the inductor. In this paper, the MEMS inductor is designed using CoventorWare®, which is powerful software for MEMS computer aided design (CAD), modeling and simulation. Results indicate that new symmetric inductor topology has thehighest Q-factor and it hasbeenimproved bytwo times compared to circular inductor. The analysis revealed that area of the symmetric inductor has reduced by37.5% compared to the circular inductor. Result has proved that the reduction of length of the conductor strip has reduced the resistance of the metal tracks and results in a high Q-factor inductor.

Exploring the Potential (Contribution) of Multi-Disciplinary Legal Research for the Analysis of Minorities’ Rights
This article sets out to contribute to the special issue devoted to multi-disciplinary legal research by discussing first the limits of purely doctrinal legal research in relation to a particular topic and second the relevant considerations in devising research that (inter alia) draws on non-legal, auxiliary disciplines to ‘fill in’ and guide the legal framework. The topic concerned is the (analysis of the) fundamental rights of minorities.The article starts with a long account of the flaws in the current legal analysis of the European Court of Human Rights regarding minorities’ rights, particularly the reduction in its analysis and the related failure to properly identify and weigh all relevant interests and variables. This ‘prelude’ provides crucial insights in the causes of the flaws in the Court’s jurisprudence: lack of knowledge (about the relevant interests and variables) and concerns with the Court’s political legitimacy.The article goes on to argue for the need for multi-disciplinary legal research to tackle the lack of knowledge: more particularly by drawing on sociology (and related social sciences) and political philosophy as auxiliary disciplines to identify additional interests and variables for the rights analysis. The ensuing new analytical framework for the analysis of minorities’ rights would benefit international courts (adjudicating on human rights) generally. To operationalise and refine the new analytical framework, the research should furthermore have regard to the practice of (a selection of) international courts and national case studies.
Technical and Economic Feasibility of Storing CO2 in Mature Fractured Monterey Reservoirs of Offshore California
Authors: Zhao Xiaoxi , Ershaghi Iraj 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
In this paper we present a study on the feasibility of utilizing the mature Monterey oilfields of offshore California for sequestering carbon dioxide while potentially enhancing crude oil recovery from the tight matrix.
An important characteristic of these fields is that, because of natural fractures, well productivities have been high and as a result, a significant amount of reservoir voidage has been generated in each field by production of more than 780 million barrels of oil and more than a TCF of natural gas during the last three decades. These productions translate into a computed voidage of about a billion barrels allowing storage of more than 90 Million tons of CO2. This is roughly equivalent to storing 50 years of CO2 from a 400 MW Power plant. Another important observation discussed in the paper is the cap rock sealing nature of these fields allowing preservation of the oil and initial pressure as evidenced from the analyses of the initial GOR data. Furthermore many of these fields will be at the verge of abandonment during the next two decades unless steps are taken to enhance recovery by extracting oil from the tight matrix. CO2 extraction from tight rocks is a technically feasible process and our analysis indicate that CO2 storage can indeed prolong the life of many of these fields and enhance matrix oil recovery. An important infrastructure requirement for CO2 transportation into these offshore fields is the cost of building offshore pipelines. Availability of existing multiple pipelines connecting the fields to their corresponding onshore treatment facilities solves this transportation of CO2 to the offshore fields. Finally, these fields are under active water influx, where aquifers may provide additional CO2 storage possibilities.

Abstract
Transparent conductive Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate, using the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The residual stress of flexible electronics was investigated by a double beam shadow moiré interferometer with phase shifting interferometry (PSI). Moreover, the biaxial stress of AZO thin films can be graphically represented by using Mohr’s circle of stress. The residual stress of AZO thin films becomes more compressive with the increase in sputtering power. The maximum residual stress is −1115.74 MPa, and the shearing stress is 490.57 MPa at a sputtering power of 200 W. The trends of residual stress were evidenced by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and optical properties of AZO thin films. According to the evaluation results of the refractive index and the extinction coefficient, the AZO thin films have better quality when the sputtering power less than 100 W.

Published: December 2015

O presente estudo busca analisar como as mudanças ocasionadas pelo crescimento da empresa afetam o processo decisório, com foco na transição de pequena para média empresa. Tal tema é muito pouco explorado na literatura, principalmente sob os aspectos abordados pelas lógicas Effectuation e Causation, descritas por Sarasvathy (2001). A pesquisa teve caráter qualitativo e exploratório e fez uso do método de estudos de casos, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com empreendedores, sucessores e gerentes de dois hotéis na cidade de Curitiba, setor este que apresenta grande visibilidade e crescimento nos últimos anos. Ao finalizar a pesquisa, concluiu-se que a transição de pequena para média empresa afeta as decisões no sentido de i) aumentar a formalização de processos, ii) ocorrer uma maior delegação de pequenos poderes, iii) haver um maior distanciamento entre funcionários e a cúpula administrativa, iv) ter uma preocupação maior com a capacitação dos funcionários, v) levar em consideração aspectos racionais na decisão, vi) haver uma equipe de suporte para tomada de decisões, vii) haver uma preocupação com o longo prazo, viii) as responsabilidades tornam-se mais claras e ix) mais autonomia é delegada aos funcionários.
Sigma Receptor Binding Assays
Authors: Chu Uyen B. , Ruoho Arnold E. 
Published: December 2015

AbstractSigma receptors, both Sigma‐1(S1R) and Sigma‐2 (S2R), are small molecule‐regulated, primarily endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane‐associated sites. A number of drugs bind to sigma receptors, including the antipsychotic haloperidol and (+)‐pentazocine, an opioid analgesic. Sigma receptors are implicated in many central nervous system disorders, in particular Alzheimer's disease and conditions associated with motor control, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Described in this unit are radioligand binding assays used for the pharmacological characterization of S1R and S2R. Methods detailed include a radioligand saturation binding assay for defining receptor densities and a competitive inhibition binding assay employing [3H]‐(+)‐pentazocine for identifying and characterizing novel ligands that interact with S1R. Procedures using [3H]‐1,3‐di(2‐tolyl)guanidine ([3H]‐DTG), a nonselective sigma receptor ligand, are described for conducting a saturation binding and competitive inhibition assays for the S2R site. These protocols are of value in drug discovery in identifying new sigma ligands and in the characterization of these receptors. © 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
In Vitro Binding of [3H]PSB‐0413 to P2Y12 Receptors
Authors: Dupuis Arnaud , Heim Véronique , Ohlmann Philippe , Gachet Christian 
Published: December 2015

AbstractThe P2Y12 /ADP receptor plays a central role in platelet activation. Characterization of this receptor is mandatory for studying disorders associated with a P2Y12 receptor defect and for evaluating P2Y12 receptor agonists and antagonists. In the absence of suitable anti‐P2Y12 antibodies, radioligand binding assays are the only way to conduct such studies. While various radioligands were employed in the past for this purpose, none were found to be suitable for routine use. Described in this unit are protocols for quantitatively and qualitatively assessing P2Y12 receptors with [3H]PSB‐0413, a selective antagonist for this site. The saturation and competition assays described herein make possible the determination of P2Y12 receptor density on cells, as well as the potencies and affinities of test agents at this site. © 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The impact of climatic and atmospheric teleconnections on the brine inventory over the Laptev Sea shelf between 2007 and 2011
Authors: Thibodeau Benoit , Bauch Dorothea 
Published: December 2015

AbstractExport of brine‐enriched water from Siberian shelves is thought to be a key parameter in maintaining the Arctic Halocline, which isolates the fresh and cold surface water from the warm Atlantic water and thus prevent dramatic change in the Arctic sea‐ice thermodynamic. In this study, we used 5 years of oxygen isotope and hydrological summer surveys to better understand the factors controlling the brine inventory and distribution over the Laptev Sea shelf. The inventory was maximal in 2011 and 2007 and minimal in 2010. The brine inventory interannual variations are coherent with the winter Arctic Oscillation index that was maximal in 2011 and 2007 and minimal in 2010, which is known to modulate Arctic winds and sea‐ice export pattern. While we should remain cautious since our record is limited to 5 years, our results suggest that the combined effect of the Arctic Oscillation and of the Arctic Dipole is the main factor controlling the annual variations in the inventory of brine‐enriched waters from the Laptev Sea shelf between 2007 and 2011, especially during extreme negative Arctic Oscillation and Arctic Dipole conditions as in 2010.

Published: December 2015

AbstractTo better understand the stress state and geological properties within the shallow Shikoku Basin, southwest of Japan, two sites, C0011A and C0011B, were drilled in open‐ocean sediments using Logging While Drilling (LWD) and coring, respectively. Resistivity image logging was performed at C0011A from sea floor to 950 m below sea floor (mbsf). At C0011B, the serial coring was obtained in order to determine physical properties from 340 to 880 mbsf. For the LWD images, a notable breakout anomaly was observed at a depth of 615 m. Using resistivity images and a stress polygon, the potential horizontal principal stress azimuth and its magnitude within the 500–750 mbsf section of the C0011A borehole were constrained. Borehole breakout azimuths were observed for the variation by the existence of a fault zone at a depth of 615 mbsf. Out of this fracture zone, the breakout azimuth was located at approximately 109° ± 12°, subparallel to the Nankai Trough convergence vector (300–315°). Our calculations describe a stress drop was determined based on the fracture geometry. A close 90° (73° ± 12°) rotation implied a 100% stress drop, defined as a maximum shear stress drop equal to 1 MPa. The magnitude of the horizontal principal stresses near the fracture stress anomaly ranged between 49 and 52 MPa, and the bearing to the vertical stress (Sv = 52 MPa) was found to be within the normal‐faulting stress regime. Low rock strength and a low stress level are necessary to satisfy the observations.
Influence of anthropogenic groundwater unloading in Indo‐Gangetic plains on the 25 April 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake
Authors: Kundu Bhaskar , Vissa Naresh Krishna , Gahalaut V. K. 
Published: December 2015

AbstractGroundwater usage in the Indo‐Gangetic plains exceeds replenishment of aquifers, leading to substantial reduction in the mass. Such anthropogenic crustal unloading may promote long‐term fault slip or may modulate seismic activity in the adjoining Himalayan region. Our simulation using Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment data and hydrological models of such a process indicates that the thrust earthquakes on the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT), including the recent 25 April 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake, are probably influenced by the anthropogenic groundwater unloading process in the Gangetic plains. The groundwater withdrawal leading to crustal unloading in the Gangetic plains causes a significant component of horizontal compression which adds to the secular interseimic compression at the seismogenic depth (5–20 km) on the MHT beneath the Himalayan arc and at hypocentral depth of the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake. This effect enhances the Coulomb stress on the locked zone of MHT.

Published: December 2015

AbstractThe fault‐related Yakima folds deform Miocene basalts and younger deposits of the Columbia Plateau in central Washington State. Geodesy implies ~2 mm/yr of NNE directed shortening across the folds, but until now the distribution and rates of Quaternary deformation among individual structures has been unclear. South of Ellensburg, Washington, the Yakima River cuts a ~600 m deep canyon across several Yakima folds, preserving gravel‐mantled strath terraces that record progressive bedrock incision and related rock uplift. Here we integrate cosmogenic isochron burial dating of the strath terrace gravels with lidar analysis and field mapping to quantify rates of Quaternary differential incision and rock uplift across two folds transected by the Yakima River: Manastash and Umtanum Ridge. Isochron burial ages from in situ produced26Al and10Be at seven sites across the folds date episodes of strath terrace formation over the past ~2.9 Ma. Average bedrock incision rates across the Manastash (~88 m/Myr) and Umtanum Ridge (~46 m/Myr) anticlines are roughly 4 to 8 times higher than rates in the intervening syncline (~14 m/Myr) and outside the canyon (~10 m/Myr). These contrasting rates demonstrate differential bedrock incision driven by ongoing Quaternary rock uplift across the folds at rates corresponding to ~0.13 and ~0.06 mm/yr shortening across postulated master faults dipping 30 ± 10°S beneath the Manastash and Umtanum Ridge anticlines, respectively. The reported Quaternary shortening across the anticlines accounts for ~10% of the ~2 mm/yr geodetic budget, suggesting that other Yakima structures actively accommodate the remaining contemporary deformation.
Refinement of the critical angle calculation for the contrast reversal of oil slicks under sunglint

Published: December 2015

AbstractIt has long been observed that oil slicks under sunglint can reverse their optical contrast against nearby oil‐free seawater. Such a phenomenon has been described through both empirical statistical analysis of the sunglint strength and modeled theoretically using a critical angle concept. The critical angle, in this model, is the angle at which the image pixels show no or negligible contrast between oiled and nonoiled seawater. Pixels away from this critical angle show either positive or negative contrast from the oil‐free pixels. Although this concept has been fully demonstrated in the published literature, its calculation needs to be further refined to take into account: (1) the different refractive indices of oil slicks (from natural seeps) and seawater and (2) atmospheric effects in the sensor‐measured radiance. Using measurements from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over oil films in the Gulf of Mexico, we show improvement in the modeled and MODIS‐derived reflectance over oil slicks originated from natural seeps after incorporating these two factors in the model. Specifically, agreement between modeled and measured sunglint reflectance is found for both negative and positive‐contrasting oil slicks. These results indicate that surface roughness and reflectance from oil films can be estimated given any solar/viewing geometry and surface wind. Further, this model might be used to correct the sunglint effect on thick oil under similar illumination conditions. Once proven possible, it may allow existing laboratory‐based models, which estimate oil thickness after such corrections, to be applied to remote sensing imagery.
PDO and ENSO modulations intensified decadal sea level variability in the tropical Pacific
Authors: Moon Jae‐Hong , Song Y. Tony , Lee HuiKyo 
Published: December 2015

AbstractAccording to long‐term sea level reconstruction and steric sea level data, regional sea levels in the tropical Pacific have oscillated between east and west on a decadal time scale over the past 60 years, but the oscillation has been intensified significantly in the last three decades. Using conditional composite analysis, we show that the recent intensification in sea level variability is caused by modulation between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO), i.e., an El Niño in a positive PDO or a La Niña in a negative PDO phase. Our analysis of meteorological fields indicates that atmospheric circulation associated with the changes in ENSO‐PDO phase relationship plays a positive role in enhancing the decadal sea level oscillation. The intensified sea level oscillation, when superimposed on the global trend of sea level rise, will have profound implications for coastal communities, therefore, the combined effect of PDO and ENSO should be taken into account in the decadal sea level prediction in the tropical Pacific.
