description: This dissertation investigates the extended full-range of leadership model – including laissez-faire, transactional, transformational, and instrumental leadership – in 14 cultures. Cross-cultural leadership has increasingly attracted the attention of practitioners as well as scholars in recent years due to important challenges that international firms are facing on the global market. The aim of this dissertation is, thus, to examine cultural impacts on leader behaviors in relation to the leadership styles of the extended full-range of leadership framework to provide a comprehensive model of leadership behaviors, underlying processes (mediators), and conditions (moderators) in an intercultural context. For this purpose, three complementary and concerted empirical studies were carried out. The first study simultaneously explores all of the extended full-range of leadership styles (laissez-faire, transactional, transformational, and instrumental leadership) to identify which of these leader behaviors are most effective to enhance job satisfaction and affective commitment across cultures. The second study sheds light on the influence of cultural and individual openness values as moderators in order to investigate under which conditions the influence of transformational and instrumental leadership is particularly strong. The third study looks at the leader’s communicator style as a mediator to investigate the underlying processes of transformational and instrumental leadership in greater detail. In summary, this dissertation represents an important step towards a more robust understanding of the effectiveness of the extended full-range of leader behaviors across cultures. It contributes to the leadership literature in two key ways. On the one hand, it scrutinizes the extended full-range of leadership model – including instrumental leadership – in a wide range of different cultures. On the other hand, it expands this model in the sense of an input-process-output model which additionally includes boundary conditions. As such, this dissertation helps to reveal differentiated insights on underlying processes and conditions that shape the micro-level dynamics of leadership processes in different cultures. The main result of this dissertation is that – in line with theoretical expectations – transformational and instrumental leadership were the best predictors for job satisfaction and affective commitment across cultures. Moreover, although culture did not impact the direct relationships between transformational and instrumental leadership and job attitudes, more fine-grained analyses showed that culture had an influence on micro-processes of leadership.

description: Safety in the automotive domain is a well-known topic, which has been in constant development in the past years. The complexity of new systems that add more advanced components in each function has opened new trends that have to be covered from the safety perspective. In this case, not only specifications and requirements have to be covered but also scenarios, which cover all relevant information of the vehicle environment. Many of them are not yet still sufficient defined or considered. In this context, Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) appears to ensure the system when it might fail because of technological shortcomings or misuses by users. An identification of the plausibly insufficiencies of ADAS/ADS functions has to be done to discover the potential triggering conditions that can lead to these unknown scenarios, which might effect a hazardous behaviour. The main goal of this publication is the definition of an use case to identify these triggering conditions that have been applied to the collision avoidance function implemented in our self-developed mobile Hardware-in-Loop (HiL) platform.

description: In this paper, we study double charmonia production in Upsilon peaks, especially, a S-wave charmonium $η_c$ and a P-wave charmonium $h_c(^1P_1)$, or a S-wave charmonium $J/ψ$ and the $X(3940)$ and $X(4160)$ within the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) approach which is a powerful tool to realize the factorization of double charmonia production in electron-positron annihilation. The $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ state $Υ(nS)$ can provide an ideal laboratory for studying the properties of double-heavy quarkonium and also can separate the perturbative and nonperturbative parts due to the large heavy quark mass compared with the typical hadron scale $Λ_{QCD}$. Explanation of the $X(3940)$ and $X(4160)$ as the $3 ^1S_0$ and $4 ^1S_0$ states, respectively, are compatible with the observed upper limits for the branching fractions of $Υ(1S,2S)\to J/ψ+X$, where $X=X(3940)$, $X(4160)$ by the Belle Collaboration. The branching fractions of $Υ(1S,2S,3S)\to η_c+h_c(^1P_1)$ are predicted to be around $10^{-6}$, which shall be tested in Belle-II experiments.

description: Equations governing the evolution of a star involve multiple coupling constants. Thus, the time it spends as a main-sequence star can be expected to depend on whether or not such constants vary over the time scale of stellar evolution. When the star belongs to a globular cluster, the star's age cannot exceed that of the globular cluster, and the latter cannot exceed the age of the Universe. This fact can be used to constrain or verify the variation of the coupling constants, i.e., the speed of light c, the gravitational constant G, the Planck constant h, and the Boltzmann constant k. We have estimated the age of the main-sequence star analytically from the time it takes to synthesize all its hydrogen into helium under fixed and varying coupling constants scenarios. When we permitted the interrelated variation of the four constants ($G\thicksim c^{3}\thicksim h^{3}\thicksim k^{3/2}$) and differentiated between the cosmological energy and local energy conservation laws, we could show that the variation of the constants established in our earlier studies, i.e., $(\dot{G}/G)_{0}=3(\dot{c}/c)_{0}=(\dot{h}/h)_{0}=1.5 (\dot{k}/k)_{0}=5.4H_{0} =3.90(\pm 0.04)\times 10^{-10} yr^{-1}$ at the current cosmic time is consistent with the present work. Nevertheless, the challenge remains to come up with an experiment, astrometric or terrestrial, that can unequivocally prove or falsify the predicted variation.

description: All cells respond to osmotic stress by implementing molecular signaling events to protect the organism. Failure to properly adapt can lead to pathologies such as hypertension and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are activated in response to osmotic stress, as well as by signals acting through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). For proper adaptation, the action of these kinases must be coordinated. To identify second messengers of stress adaptation, we conducted a mass spectrometry-based global metabolomics profiling analysis, quantifying nearly 300 metabolites in the yeast S. cerevisiae. We show that three branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolites increase in response to osmotic stress and require the MAPK Hog1. Ectopic addition of these BCAA derivatives promotes phosphorylation of the G protein α subunit and dampens G protein-dependent transcription, similar to that seen in response to osmotic stress. Conversely, genetic ablation of Hog1 activity or the BCAA-regulatory enzymes leads to diminished phosphorylation of Gα and increased transcription. Taken together, our results define a new class of candidate second messengers that mediate cross talk between osmotic stress and GPCR signaling pathways.

description: In a search for common proper motion companions using the VISTA Hemisphere Survey and 2MASS catalogs we have identified a very red (J-Ks=2.47 mag) late-L dwarf companion of a previously unrecognized M dwarf VHS J125601.92-125723.9, located at a projected angular separation of 8.06"+/-0.03". From low-resolution optical and near-IR spectroscopy we classified the primary and the companion as an M7.5+/-0.5 and L7+/-1.5, respectively. The primary shows weaker alkali lines than field dwarfs of similar spectral type, but still consistent with either a high-gravity dwarf or a younger object of hundreds of millions of years. The secondary shows spectral features characteristic for low surface gravity objects at ages below several hundred Myr, like the triangular shape of the H-band continuum and alkali lines weaker than in field dwarfs of the same spectral type. The absence of lithium in the atmosphere of the primary and the likely membership to the Local Association allowed us to constrain the age of the system to the range of 150-300 Myr. We report a measurement of the trigonometric parallax pi=78.8+/-6.4 mas, which translates into a distance of 12.7+/-1.0 pc; the pair thus has a projected physical separation of 102+/-9 AU. We derived the Lbol of the components and compared them with theoretical evolutionary models to estimate the masses and effective temperatures. For the primary, we determined log(Lbol/LSun)=-3.14+/-0.10, and a mass of 73 (+20,-15} MJup at the boundary between stars and brown dwarfs and Teff of 2620+/-140 K. For the companion we obtained log(Lbol/LSun)=-5.05+/-0.22 and a mass of 11.2 (+9.7,-1.8) MJup placing it near the deuterium-burning mass limit. The effective temperature derived from evolutionary models is 880 (+140,-110) K, about 400-700 K cooler than expected for field late-L dwarfs.

description: Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques have shown great potential as a surrogate model of expensive physics simulation, with demonstrated ability to make fast predictions, albeit at the expense of accuracy in some cases. For many scientific and engineering problems involving geometrical design, it is desirable for the surrogate models to precisely describe the change in geometry and predict the consequences. In that context, we develop graph neural networks (GNNs) as fast surrogate models for physics simulation, which allow us to directly train the models on 2/3D geometry designs that are represented by an unstructured mesh or point cloud, without the need for any explicit or hand-crafted parameterization. We utilize an encoder-processor-decoder-type architecture which can flexibly make prediction at both node level and graph level. The performance of our proposed GNN-based surrogate model is demonstrated on 2 example applications: feature designs in the domain of additive engineering and airfoil design in the domain of aerodynamics. The models show good accuracy in their predictions on a separate set of test geometries after training, with almost instant prediction speeds, as compared to O(hour) for the high-fidelity simulations required otherwise.

description: This paper introduced the concept of soft quasigroup, its parastrophes, soft nuclei, left (right) coset, distributive soft quasigroups and normal soft quasigroups. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a soft set over a quasigroup (loop) to be a soft quasigroup (loop) were established. It was proved that a soft set over a group is a soft group if and only if it is a soft loop or either of two of its parastrophes is a soft groupoid. For a finite quasigroup, it was shown that the orders (arithmetic and geometric means) of the soft quasigroup over it and its parastrophes are equal. It was also proved that if a soft quasigroup is distributive, then all its parastrophes are distributive, idempotent and flexible soft quasigroups. For a distributive soft quasigroup, it was shown that its left and right cosets form families of distributive soft quasigroups that are isomorphic. If in addition, a soft quasigroup is normal, then its left and right cosets forms families of normal soft quasigroups. On another hand, it was found that if a soft quasigroup is a normal and distributive soft quasigroup, then its left (right) quotient is a family of commutative distributive quasigroups which have a 1-1 correspondence with the left (right) coset of the soft quasigroup.

description: If large language models like GPT-3 preferably produce a particular point of view, they may influence people's opinions on an unknown scale. This study investigates whether a language-model-powered writing assistant that generates some opinions more often than others impacts what users write - and what they think. In an online experiment, we asked participants (N=1,506) to write a post discussing whether social media is good for society. Treatment group participants used a language-model-powered writing assistant configured to argue that social media is good or bad for society. Participants then completed a social media attitude survey, and independent judges (N=500) evaluated the opinions expressed in their writing. Using the opinionated language model affected the opinions expressed in participants' writing and shifted their opinions in the subsequent attitude survey. We discuss the wider implications of our results and argue that the opinions built into AI language technologies need to be monitored and engineered more carefully.

description: Immigration has been one of the major political and economic topics debated by governments in the world. In the United States, migration legislation is debated in the Senate, and impacts every industry throughout the country. Therefore, with further research in this field more answers for why migration occurs can be found. Although various disciplines focus on this phenomenon, each offers reasons specific to the discipline which is searching for an explanation. This thesis acknowledges that economic factors, social aspects, push and pull influences are some of the reasons for immigration, but it also proposes that there are other forces behind this movement of people which have not been explored previously. This research examines the migration from Mexico to the United States and the influence of the Mexican government through its policies. In order to present this viewpoint, the research includes the history of Mexican immigration throughout the 20th century, and the changes from one decade to another. Additional information included are the explanations of the Mexican economy, the push and pull factors, and the dangers of crossing the U.S.-Mexican border illegally. All of these researched areas are crucial in explaining why immigration between Mexico and the United States has been occurring, even with U.S. government policies trying to decrease the flow.

description: Meiotic recombination is required for proper homologous chromosome segregation in plants and other eukaryotes. The eukaryotic RAD51 gene family has seven ancient paralogs with important roles in mitotic and meiotic recombination. Mutations in mammalian RAD51 homologs RAD51C and XRCC3 lead to embryonic lethality. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, RAD51C and XRCC3 homologs are not essential for vegetative development but are each required for somatic and meiotic recombination, but the mechanism of RAD51C and XRCC3 in meiotic recombination is unclear. The non-lethal Arabidopsis rad51c and xrcc3 null mutants provide an opportunity to study their meiotic functions. Here, we show that AtRAD51C and AtXRCC3 are components of the RAD51-dependent meiotic recombination pathway and required for normal AtRAD51 localization on meiotic chromosomes. In addition, AtRAD51C interacts with both AtRAD51 and AtXRCC3 in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that these proteins form a complex (es). Comparison of AtRAD51 foci in meiocytes from atrad51, atrad51c, and atxrcc3 single, double and triple heterozygous mutants further supports an interaction between AtRAD51C and AtXRCC3 that enhances AtRAD51 localization. Moreover, atrad51c-/+atxrcc3-/+ double and atrad51-/+atrad51c-/+atxrcc3-/+ triple heterozygous mutants have defects in meiotic recombination, suggesting the role of the AtRAD51C-AtXRCC3 complex in meiotic recombination is in part AtRAD51-dependent. Together, our results support a model in which direct interactions between the RAD51C-XRCC3 complex and RAD51 facilitate RAD51 localization on meiotic chromosomes and RAD51-dependent meiotic recombination. Finally, we hypothesize that maintenance of RAD51 function facilitated by the RAD51C-XRCC3 complex could be highly conserved in eukaryotes.

CLAVATA1 controls distinct signaling outputs that buffer shoot stem cell proliferation through a two-step transcriptional compensation loop
Creators: name: Nimchuk, Zachary L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The regulation of stem cell proliferation in plants is controlled by intercellular signaling pathways driven by the diffusible CLAVATA3 (CLV3p) peptide. CLV3p perception is thought to be mediated by an overlapping array of receptors in the stem cell niche including the transmembrane receptor kinase CLV1, Receptor-Like Protein Kinase 2 (RPK2), and a dimer of the receptor-like protein CLV2 and the CORYNE (CRN) pseudokinase. Mutations in these receptors have qualitatively similar effects on stem cell function but it is unclear if this represents common or divergent signaling outputs. Previous work in heterologous systems has suggested that CLV1, RPK2 and CLV2/CRN could form higher order complexes but it is also unclear what relevance these putative complexes have to in vivo receptor functions. Here I use the in vivo regulation of a specific transcriptional target of CLV1 signaling in Arabidopsis to demonstrate that, despite the phenotypic similarities between the different receptor mutants, CLV1 controls distinct signaling outputs in living stem cell niches independent of other receptors. This regulation is separable from stem cell proliferation driven by WUSCHEL, a proposed common transcriptional target of CLV3p signaling. In addition, in the absence of CLV1, CLV1-related receptor kinases are ectopically expressed but also buffer stem cell proliferation through the auto-repression of their own expression. Collectively these data reveal a unique in vivo role for CLV1 separable from other stem cell receptors and provides a framework for dissecting the signaling outputs in stem cell regulation.

description: Thin garnet films are becoming central for magnon-spintronics and spin-orbitronics devices as they show versatile magnetic properties together with low magnetic losses. These fields would benefit from materials in which heat does not affect the magnetization dynamics, an effect known as the non-linear thermal frequency shift. In this study, low damping Bi substituted Iron garnet (Bi:YIG) ultra-thin films have been grown using Pulsed Laser Deposition. Through a fine tuning of the growth parameters, the precise control of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy allows to achieve a full compensation of the dipolar magnetic anisotropy. Strikingly, once the growth conditions are optimized, varying the growth temperature from 405 °C to 475 °C as the only tuning parameter induces the easy-axis to go from out-of-plane to in-plane. For films that are close to the dipolar compensation, Ferromagnetic Resonance measurements yield an effective magnetization $μ_{0}M_{eff} (T)$ that has almost no temperature dependence over a large temperature range (260 K to 400 K) resulting in an anisotropy temperature exponent of 2. These findings put Bi:YIG system among the very few materials in which the temperature dependence of the magnetic anisotropy varies at the same rate than the saturation magnetization. This interesting behavior is ascribed phenomenologically to the sizable orbital moment of $Bi^{3+}$.

description: Lipid and lipoprotein subclasses are associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, yet the genetic contributions to variability in subclass traits are not fully understood. We conducted single-variant and gene-based association tests between 15.1M variants from genome-wide and exome array and imputed genotypes and 72 lipid and lipoprotein traits in 8,372 Finns. After accounting for 885 variants at 157 previously identified lipid loci, we identified five novel signals near established loci at HIF3A, ADAMTS3, PLTP, LCAT, and LIPG. Four of the signals were identified with a low-frequency (0.005<minor allele frequency [MAF]<0.05) or rare (MAF<0.005) variant, including Arg123His in LCAT. Gene-based associations (P<10−10) support a role for coding variants in LIPC and LIPG with lipoprotein subclass traits. 30 established lipid-associated loci had a stronger association for a subclass trait than any conventional trait. These novel association signals provide further insight into the molecular basis of dyslipidemia and the etiology of metabolic disorders.

description: North China leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis), is the most widespread subspecies of leopard and one of the rare and endangered species in China. It is currently confined to several isolated natural reserves, and little is known about its habitat network connectivity with land use changes. This study was conducted to assess the impacts of land use changes on landscape connectivity for North China leopards in the Great Taihang Region. Circuit theory-based connectivity models and least-cost path analyses were used to delineate pathways suitable for species movement, and evaluate the impacts of land use changes on landscape connectivity. The results revealed that there were 37 least-cost paths in 1990 and 38 in 2020. The area of forest land increased from 57142.74 km2 to 74836.64 km2, with the percentage increasing from 26.61% to 34.85%. In general, the increase of forest land area promoted landscape connectivity for North China leopards at broad spatial scales. The improvement of landscape connectivity was not always consistent with the land use changes, and there was a slightly decreasing trend in connectivity in some key movement barrier areas with high-intensity of human activities. Improving landscape connectivity at broad spatial scales is as important as protecting the habitats (natural reserves) where the species lives. Our study can serve as an example of exploring the relationships between land use changes and landscape connectivity for species conservation at broad spatial scales with limited movement pattern data. This information is proved to be critical for enhancing landscape connectivity for the conservation concerns of North China leopard and planning of natural reserves network.

description: Housing is a cross-cutting issue that is crucial to achieving several of the Sustainable Development Goals. Earthen housing is found across the globe, particularly in developing countries, but there is a lack of up-to-date information about its distribution and trends. This knowledge gap is a barrier to developing more effective research and policy for earthen housing. In this study, national demographic datasets were used to investigate the distribution, trends and attitudes towards earthen housing worldwide. Data was collected and analysed for the most populous 26 countries, which make up >75% of the global population. Globally, earthen housing is in decline relative to non-earthen housing, driven by demographic changes and negative perceptions of earthen materials in developing countries. The proportion of households living in earthen dwellings worldwide is estimated to be 8–10%, and the average across developing countries to be 20–25%. There is a negative correlation between countries’ level of development and prevalence of earthen housing. Whilst data is more sparse for highly developed countries, the development of standards and commercial interest suggests more favourable attitudes to earthen housing. A focus is encouraged on high-quality earthen dwellings which can help meet housing needs in both developing and developed countries.

description: We report the sub-picosecond initialization of a single heavy hole spin in a self-assembled quantum dot with >98.5 % fidelity and without external magnetic field. Using an optically adressable charge and spin storage device we tailor the relative electron and hole tunneling escape timescales from the dot and simultaneously achieve high-fidelity initialization, long hole storage times and high efficiency readout via a photocurrent signal. We measure electric field-dependent Rabi oscillations of the neutral and charged exciton transitions in the ultrafast tunneling regime and demonstrate that tunneling induced dephasing (TID) of excitonic Rabi rotations is the major source for the intensity damping of Rabi oscillations in the low Rabi frequency, low temperature regime. Our results are in very good quantitative agreement with quantum-optical simulations revealing that TID can be used to precisely measure tunneling escape times and extract changes in the Coulomb binding energies for different charge configurations of the quantum dot. Finally, we demonstrate that for sub-picosecond electron tunneling escape TID of a coherently driven exciton transition facilitates ultrafast hole spin initialization with near-unity fidelity.

description: Two key subjects stand out in the pursuit of semiconductor research: material quality and contact technology. The fledging field of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) faces a number of challenges in both efforts. This work attempts to establish a connection between the two by examining the gate-dependent conductance of few-layer (1-5L) WSe2 field effect devices. Measurements and modeling of the subgap regime reveal Schottky barrier transistor behavior. We show that transmission through the contact barrier is dominated by thermionic field emission (TFE) at room temperature, despite the lack of intentional doping. The TFE process arises due to a large number of subgap impurity states, the presence of which also leads to high mobility edge carrier densities. The density of states of such impurity states is self-consistently determined to be approximately 1-2x10^13 /cm^2/eV in our devices. We demonstrate that substrate is unlikely to be a major source of the impurity states and suspect that lattice defects within the material itself are primarily responsible. Our experiments provide key information to advance the quality and understanding of TMDC materials and electrical devices.

description: Time-periodic light field has emerged as a control knob for manipulating quantum states in solid-state materials, cold atoms and photonic systems via hybridization with photon-dressed Floquet states in the strong coupling limit, dubbed as Floquet engineering. Such interaction leads to tailored properties of quantum materials, for example, modifications of the topological properties of Dirac materials and modulation of the optical response. Despite extensive research interests over the past decade, there is no experimental evidence of momentum-resolved Floquet band engineering of semiconductors, which is a crucial step to extend Floquet engineering to a wide range of solid-state materials. Here, based on time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements, we report experimental signatures of Floquet band engineering in a model semiconductor - black phosphorus. Upon near-resonance pumping at photon energy of 340 to 440 meV, a strong band renormalization is observed near the band edges. In particular, light-induced dynamical gap opening is resolved at the resonance points, which emerges simultaneously with the Floquet sidebands. Moreover, the band renormalization shows a strong selection rule favoring pump polarization along the armchair direction, suggesting pseudospin selectivity for the Floquet band engineering as enforced by the lattice symmetry. Our work demonstrates pseudospin-selective Floquet band engineering in black phosphorus, and provides important guiding principles for Floquet engineering of semiconductors.

description: A rapid benchtop method to measure the torque associated with minidiscs rotating in water using a sensitive analytical rheometer has been used to monitor the drag caused by marine fouling on coated discs. The method was calibrated using sandpaper surfaces of known roughness. Minidiscs coated with commercial fouling control coatings, plus an inactive control, were exposed in an estuarine harbour. After 176 days the drag on the fouling control-coated discs, expressed as a moment coefficient, was between 73% and 90% less than the drag on the control coating. The method has potential use as a screen for novel antifouling and drag reducing coatings and surfaces. Roughness functions derived using Granville’s indirect similarity law are similar to patterns found in the general hydrodynamics literature, and so rotational minidisc results can be considered with reference to other fouling drag datasets.

description: We extend White's minimally entangled typically thermal states approach (METTS) to allow Abelian and non-Ablian symmetries to be exploited when computing finite-temperature response functions in one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems. Our approach, called SYMETTS, starts from a METTS sample of states that are not symmetry eigenstates, and generates from each a symmetry eigenstate. These symmetry states are then used to calculate dynamic response functions. SYMETTS is ideally suited to determine the low-temperature spectra of 1D quantum systems with high resolution. We employ this method to study a generalized diamond chain model for the natural mineral azurite Cu${}_3$(CO${}_3)_2$(OH$)_2$, which features a plateau at $\frac{1}{3}$ in the magnetization curve at low temperatures. Our calculations provide new insight into the effects of temperature on magnetization and excitation spectra in the plateau phase, which can be fully understood in terms of the microscopic model.
