Authors: Cooper Sir Cary L. , Stokes Peter , Liu Yipeng , Tarba Shlomo Y. 
Published: November 2017

SummaryOrganizational behavior is a well‐established academic field comprising a comprehensive and wide range of extant literature. In contrast, sustainability and micro‐foundational literature constitute significant but nevertheless more relatively recent emergent bodies of work with each having developed particular predilections in the manner in which they are cast and discussed. There is scope, therefore, to bring to bear a range of organizational behavioral insights in conjunction with these areas thereby creating a fusion that surfaces the drivers and antecedents that operate and play out in the dynamic between these domains. The mechanism employed to do this is through the development of a special issue of papers, drawing on a range of methodological approaches and sectorial perspectives. This is important and has the aim of generating fresh insights and challenging conventional ways of viewing the behavioral dimensions of sustainability and especially through a micro‐foundational lens. The analyses in special issue underline and demonstrate the value of engaging a range of national contexts, sectorial settings, and historical and contemporaneous perspectives that shed novel light on the confluences of sustainability, organizational behavior, and micro‐foundations. Special issue also suggests future directions that subsequent research may take in these arenas.

Authors: Hudgins Joel D. , Bacho Matthew A. , Olsen Karen L. , Bourgeois Florence T. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractPurposeGreater than 50% of drugs lack pediatric labeling information, resulting in widespread “off‐label” use in children. To increase pediatric prescribing information, the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) was passed in 2003, requiring new drug applications to include pediatric assessments. We evaluated the study of new drugs in children since PREA was implemented.MethodsWe performed a cross‐sectional analysis of new drug applications submitted to the FDA from December 2003 to July 2012, using publicly available documents at Drugs@FDA. We calculated the proportion of new drugs that included a pediatric assessment at the time of approval and at a final review performed in July 2016.ResultsWe identified 92 new drugs requiring pediatric assessments. Only 20 (21.7%) had been fully studied in children at the time of approval, while 9 (9.8%) had been partially assessed, and 63 (68.5%) did not have pediatric data. Among drugs approved without pediatric assessments, 4.2% met FDA deferral deadlines and 34.9% eventually submitted pediatric data. At the time of our final review, allowing for a mean of 8.6 years since drug approval, 57.6% of new drugs had not been fully assessed in children. The mean time between approval in adults and availability of pediatric data for drugs approved without pediatric assessments was 6.5 years.ConclusionsThese results represent a comprehensive evaluation of the study of new drugs in children and demonstrate that many drugs continue to be approved without pediatric data. Our findings serve to inform approaches to strengthen adherence to PREA requirements.

Published: November 2017

BackgroundStudies have shown that exposure to environmental chemicals known as endocrine disruptors can cause permanent changes in genital organs, such as the prostate. Among these environmental chemicals stands out bisphenol A (BPA). Another factor associated with prostate changes is the consumption of a high‐fat diet. Although the relationship between the consumption of a high‐fat diet and an increased risk of prostate cancer is well established, the mechanisms that lead to the establishment of this disease are not completely understood, nor the simultaneous action of BPA and high‐fat diet.MethodsAdult gerbils (100 days old) were divided in four groups (n = 6 per group): Control (C): animals that received a control diet and filtered water; Diet (D): animals that received a high‐fat diet and filtered water; BPA: animals that received a control diet and BPA − 50 µg kg−1day−1in drinking water; BPA + Diet (BPA + D): animals that received a high‐fat diet + BPA − 50 µg kg−1day−1in drinking water. After the experimental period (6 months), the dorsolateral and ventral prostate lobes were removed, and analyzed by several methods.ResultsHistological analysis indicated premalignant and malignant lesions in both prostatic lobes. However, animals of the D, BPA, and BPA + D groups showed a higher incidence and larger number of prostatic lesions; inflammatory foci were also common. Markers to assess prostate lesions, such as increased activation of the DNA repair system (PCNA‐positive cells), androgen receptor (AR), and number of basal cells, confirmed the histology. However, serum levels of testosterone did not change under the experimental conditions.ConclusionsThe results indicated that the methodology used was effective in generating metabolic changes, which directly compromised prostatic homeostasis. Diet and BPA appear to modulate the activation of the AR pathway and thereby optimize tumor establishment in the gerbil prostate.
Farmers' perspective on herbicide‐resistant weeds and application of resistance management strategies: results from a German survey
Authors: Ulber Lena , Rissel Dagmar 
Published: November 2017

AbstractBACKGROUNDA herbicide resistance survey was conducted in Germany to determine farmers' awareness of herbicide resistance and experience with resistant weeds, the information sources on herbicide resistance used and the methods employed to confirm resistance. In addition, the application pattern and perception of resistance management strategies by farmers were assessed.RESULTSThe majority of farmers (88%) were aware of the presence of herbicide resistance cases in Germany and 64% and 50% of farmers reported that resistant weeds had been detected in their county and on their farm, respectively. Resistance management strategies were reported to be applied by 87% of the farmers and three clusters of different resistance management approaches used to minimize the evolution of resistant weed populations were identified and linked to farmers' perception of resistance and farm management characteristics. When asked about obstacles to adopting resistance management strategies, higher cost was the obstacle most cited by farmers, followed by weather and labour intensity/labour costs.CONCLUSIONOutcomes from this survey may help researchers and crop consultants to increase understanding of farmers' perception of herbicide resistance issues, to improve knowledge dissemination concerning herbicide resistance and to develop resistance management programmes with high agronomic practicability and acceptance by farmers. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

Published: November 2017

AbstractCobalt(II) porphyrins bearing ortho/para‐amino and ortho‐nitro groups at meso‐phenyl rings have been prepared and employed for catalytic hydrogen generation. Electrochemical and catalytic studies show that position and electronic nature of the substituents strongly affect catalytic activity and overpotential of catalysis. Our study reveals that the complex with ortho‐aminophenyl substituents on porphyrin core displays higher activity toward H2 evolution with rate constant of 1.1
105 M−1 s−1 at onset potential close to thermodynamic reduction potential of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and 89% efficiency. On the other hand, the reactions involving cobalt porphyrins with para‐aminophenyl or ortho‐nitrophenyl groups showed lower or no activity under the same experimental conditions, implying the significant role of pendant ortho‐amino groups in accelerating the intramolecular proton transfer and the proton‐hydride interactions to thermodynamically favor H2 evolution.

Published: November 2017

AbstractIn this study palladium supported on fluorinated magnesium hydroxide (Pd‐MgF2‐x(OH)x) was synthesized by fluorination of magnesium hydroxide using aqueous HF as fluorinating agent. The Mg(OH)2 dissolves in HF and precipitates as magnesium hydroxide fluoride. The Pd precursor was added in the same pot during precipitation of MgF2‐x(OH)x. The final catalyst after drying at 250 °C has shown very high efficiency for hydrogenation of styrene and range of nitro aromatics at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Hydrogenation of styrene has led to 37% conversion with 100% selectivity for hydrogenation of double bond after 3 h. The catalyst was successfully recycled for styrene hydrogenation without appreciable loss in the activity. Further hydrogenation of nitro‐aromatics was achieved with 99% conversion and 100% aniline selectivity at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The turnover number of ∼21774 was obtained for nitrobenzene hydrogenation. The catalyst has shown mesoporous nature (pore volume 0.25 cc/g, pore diameter 4.8 nm) with very high surface area of 106 m2/g. The palladium particle size was found to be in the range of 10–11 nm. Acidity measurements by FTIR of adsorbed pyridine revealed presence of Lewis acidic sites with moderate acidity. Mechanistic studies using in‐situ FTIR analysis for nitrobenzene hydrogenation revealed activation of nitrobenzene on the Lewis acid sites of the support whereas activation of hydrogen by heterolytic cleavage on Pd center.

Published: November 2017

AbstractNovel uniform super small carbon nitride nanospheres with core‐shell structure were prepared in a one step procedure by using SiO2 hollow nanospheres as hard templates. The as‐prepared carbon nitride nanospheres with the average size of 20 nm displayed enhanced activities and durability in photocatalytic hydrogen production and the degradation of methyl orange (MO), compared to the conventional carbon nitride with bulky morphology under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. The enhancement is attributed to the nano‐scaled carbon nitride spheres with unique core‐shell structures and large surface areas, which facilitate the photogenerated charge separation and fast transport.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe synthesis of metal chalcogenide aerogels Co0.5M0.33MoS4 (M= Sb or Y) by the sol‐gel method is reported. In this system, the building blocks [MoS4]2− chelated with Co2+ and (Sb3+) or (Y3+) salts in nonaqueous solvents forming amorphous networks with a gel property. The chalcogels obtained after supercritical drying have BET surface areas of 176 m2 g−1 (Co0.5Sb0.33MoS4) and 145 m2 g−1 (Co0.5Y0.33MoS4). Electron microscopy and physisorption studies reveal that the new materials are porous with wide pore size distribution and average pore width of 16 nm. These chalcogels show higher adsorption capacity of toluene vapor (Co0.5Sb0.33MoS4: 387 mg g−1) and (Co0.5Y0.33MoS4: 304 mg g−1) over cyclohexane vapor and high selectivity of CO2 over CH4 or H2, Co0.5Sb0.33MoS4 (CO2/H2: 80 and CO2/CH4: 21), Co0.5Y0.33MoS4 (CO2/H2: 27 and CO2/CH4: 15). We also demonstrated that the impregnation of various metal species like Li+, Mg2+, and Ni2+ significantly enhanced the uptake capacity and selectivity of toluene and CO2 adsorptions in the chacogels.
Chronic parenting stress and mood reactivity: The role of sleep quality
Authors: da Estrela Chelsea , Barker Erin T. , Lantagne Sarah , Gouin Jean‐Philippe 
Published: November 2017

AbstractSleep is a basic biological process supporting emotion regulation. The emotion regulation function of sleep may be particularly important in the context of chronic stress. To better understand how chronic stress and sleep interact to predict mood, 66 parents of children with autism completed daily diaries assessing parenting stress, negative mood, and sleep quality for 6 consecutive days. Hierarchical linear modelling revealed that daily negative mood was predicted by between‐person differences in parenting stress and between‐person differences in sleep efficiency. Further, between‐person differences in sleep efficiency and within‐person differences in sleep satisfaction moderated the impact of stress on mood. These data suggest that sleep disturbances may exacerbate the association between stress and mood in the context of chronic parenting stress. Further, high parenting stress appears to heighten the impact of transient sleep disturbances on mood.
Organization–stakeholder fit: A dynamic theory of cooperation, compromise, and conflict between an organization and its stakeholders
Authors: Bundy Jonathan , Vogel Ryan M. , Zachary Miles A. 
Published: November 2017

Research Summary: We advance the concept of organization–stakeholder fit (O–S fit) to explain cooperative behavior between an organization and its stakeholders. O–S fit describes the compatibility that exists between an organization and a stakeholder when their characteristics are well matched. We highlight two dimensions of O–S fit: value congruence, or the supplementary fit of organizational and stakeholder values, and strategic complementarity, or the complementary fit of strategic needs and resources. For each dimension, we detail the unique relational factors—including core elements of trust, predictability, attraction/exchange, and communication—that motivate cooperation. We then explicate the ways in which value congruence and strategic complementarity dynamically interrelate over time. Finally, we consider how organization‐stakeholder misfit may result in alternative relational behaviors, such as conflict or compromise.Managerial Summary: We develop a new way of thinking about the relationship between organizations and stakeholders. Recognizing that positive relationships require a degree of fit or compatibility, we argue that cooperative behavior between an organization and its stakeholders is maximized when relational partners share both core values and strategic priorities. We explain that high fit along these two dimensions increases trust, relational predictability, attraction/exchange, and communication. We also describe how positive relationships might be formed with fit along only one dimension, and how negative relationships might result in the presence of misfit. Ultimately, we suggest that managers who want to foster positive relationships with stakeholders should concentrate on aligning their values and priorities, rather than simply concentrating on one or the other.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe graphene with 3D porous network structure is directly laser‐induced on polyimide sheets at room temperature in ambient environment by an inexpensive and one‐step method, then transferred to silicon rubber substrate to obtain highly stretchable, transparent, and flexible electrode of the all‐solid‐state planar microsupercapacitors. The electrochemical capacitance properties of the graphene electrodes are further enhanced by nitrogen doping and with conductive poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) coating. With excellent flexibility, stretchability, and capacitance properties, the planar microsupercapacitors present a great potential in fashionable and comfortable designs for wearable electronics.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe development of highly efficient and durable non‐noble metal electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is significant for clean and renewable energy research. This work reports the synthesis of N‐doped graphene nanosheets supported N‐doped carbon coated cobalt phosphide (CoP) nanoparticles via a pyrolysis and a subsequent phosphating process by using polyaniline. The obtained electrocatalyst exhibits excellent electrochemical activity for HER with a small overpotential of −135 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a low Tafel slope of 59.3 mV dec−1 in 0.5 m H2SO4. Additionally, the encapsulation of N‐doped carbon shell prevents CoP nanoparticles from corrosion, exhibiting good stability after 14 h operation. Moreover, the as‐prepared electrocatalyst also shows outstanding activity and stability in basic and neutral electrolytes.
Pitfalls and sources of variability in two dimensional shear wave elastography of the liver: An overview
Authors: Zelesco Marilyn , Abbott Steve , O'Hara Sandra 
Published: November 2017

AbstractChronic liver diseases are a substantial worldwide problem that are increasing in prevalence. All forms of chronic liver disease have the potential to lead to a deposition of fibrous tissue within the liver resulting in the development of cirrhosis with its consequences – portal hypertension, hepatic failure or hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, new treatments for the management of liver fibrosis have been developed. However, the medical field has not been able to meet the demands for a non‐invasive diagnostic and monitoring method in these patients. Magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound elastography are rapidly becoming the method of choice for the assessment of liver fibrosis; replacing liver biopsy for diagnosis, evaluation of disease progression and treatment monitoring. However, both MR and ultrasound elastography estimate liver stiffness, of which fibrosis is only one cause. Multiple confounding factors are present. This paper looks at these potential sources of variability that sonographers need to consider when undertaking an hepatic two‐dimensional shear wave elastogram.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThis preliminary study examined the effect that five major sources of public science education—schools, science centers, broadcast media, print media, and the Internet—had on adults' science interestvalues and cognitive predispositions. Over 3,000 adults were sampled in three U.S. metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, California, Phoenix, Arizona, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. To minimize potential sampling bias, the results were weighted by current U.S. Census data to be comparable to demographics from each of the three jurisdictions. Participants were asked to self‐report their current and early adolescent usage of these five science‐related resources, the quality of their experiences with each, and their current abilities, values, and cognitive predispositions relative to science. Data showed that overall, a broad cross‐section of adults living in these cities engaged in a wide array of science‐related activities and that large majorities did so frequently. Nearly two‐thirds of all respondents self‐reported currently participating in some kind of science‐related activity every week and nearly half doing so daily. Results suggested that having frequent; positive science‐related experiences in‐ and out‐of‐school, both early and later in life, correlated with having a strong interest in and positive perception of science as an adult. Although a diversity of positive science‐related experiences correlated with current adult science interest values and cognitive predispositions, only five factors uniquely and significantly predicted adult science interest, values, and cognitive predispositions in the multivariate models: (a) early adolescent experiences visiting a science center, (b) early adolescent experiences watching science‐related television, (c) adult visits to a science center, (d) adults reading books and magazines about science, and (e) adults using the internet to learn more about science. Discussed are issues of self‐selection, quality of experiences, and the complex and synergistic nature of the science learning ecosystem.

Abstract
Many applications rely on scanned data, which can come from a variety of sources: optical scanners, coordinate measuring machines, or medical imaging. We assume that the data input to these applications is an unorganized point cloud or mesh of vertices. The objective may be to find particular features (medical diagnostics or reverse engineering) or comparison to some reference geometry (e.g. dimensional metrology). This paper focuses on the feature fitting of a segmented point cloud, specifically for branched, organic structures or structural frames, and targets non-monolithic geometries. In this paper, a methodology is presented for the automated recovery of cross-sectional shapes using centrally located curves. We assume a triangulated surface mesh is generated from the scanned point cloud. This surface mesh is the starting point for our methodology. We then find the curve skeleton of the part which abstractly describes the global geometry and topology. Next after segmenting the curve skeleton into non-branching segments, orthogonal planes to the curve skeleton segments, at preset or adaptive intervals, make slices through the surface mesh edges. The intersection points are extracted creating a 2D point cloud of the cross section. A number of application specific post-processing operations can be performed after obtaining the 2D point cloud cross sections and the curve skeleton paths including: calculations such as area or area moments of inertia, feature fitting or recognition, and digital shape reconstruction. Case studies are presented to demonstrate capabilities and limitations, and to provide insight into appropriate uses and adaptations for the presented methodology.
Highlights Automated cross-sectional extraction for branching structures is presented. Methodology utilized skeletonization of object as reference for sampling planes. Surface mesh is sliced to extract a 2D point cloud. Filter algorithm for exclusion of peripheral slicing is presented. Several case studies demonstrate capabilities and limitations of the method.
