push-pull test
step-rate test

description: To analyse the potential of an ATES in the centre of Berlin, the ATES research well Gt BChb 1/2015 was hydraulically tested. A sandstone of the Exter Formation was chosen as target horizon. This aquifer is characterized by a temperature of 17 • C at a depth between 220 und 230 m below ground surface. Several hydraulic tests including Slug-Withdrawal Tests (SWTs), a Step-Rate-Test (SRT), production tests, and Push-Pull tracer Tests (PPTs) with hot and cold water were performed during 40 days of operation in 2017 to analyse the aquifer characteristics. These tests were accompanied by Distributed-Temperature-Sensing (DTS) monitoring which allows a continuous and spatial distributed temperature profiling in the well. The temperature measurements provide indications of injection areas based on the warmback period during a push-pull test with 90 • C hot water. Slug-withdraw tests were performed at the beginning and at the end of the test campaign to evaluate the changes of the hydraulic performance during testing and to compare the results to the conventional well-testing methods like production and step rate tests.

description: Enzymatic reactions are used to detect analytes in a range of biochemical methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). To measure the presence of an analyte, they are conjugated to a recognition unit and convert a substrate into a (colored) product that is detectable by visible (VIS) light. Thus, the lowest enzymatic turnover that can be detected sets a limit on sensitivity. Here, we report that substrates and products of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and β-galactosidase change the near-infrared (NIR, 800-2400 nm) fluorescence of (bio)polymer modified single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Therefore, SWCNTs translate a VIS signal into a beneficial NIR signal. Moreover, the affinity of the nanosensors cause a higher effective local concentration of the reactants for the optical measurement. This leads to a non-linear sensor-based signal amplification and translation (SENSAT). We find signal enhancement up to ≈ 120x for the HRP substrate p-phenylenediamine (PPD), which means that reactions below the limit of detection in the VIS can be followed in the NIR (≈ 1000 nm). The approach is also applicable to other substrates such as 3,3’-5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and direct observation of the HRP reaction. An adsorption-based theoretical model fits the observed signals and corroborates the sensor-based enhancement mechanism. This approach amplifies signals, translates them into the NIR and increases sensitivity of biochemical assays.
title: Interaction of Ethanol and Insulin on Motor Activity and Hypoglycemia in Rats

description: The present study investigated the effects of ethanol on insulin-induced hypoglycemia in rats. Measurements were made on the interaction of insulin at a dose of 2 units/kilogram in combination with four ethanol doses on motor activity and on blood glucose levels. Nine rats were administered eight treatment conditions (insulin or no insulin; combined with ethanol dosage of either: 0, 300, 600, or 1000 mg/kg). In a counterbalanced sequence of treatments, the rats were injected with insulin and placed into activity detectors for 20 minutes. At this time their blood glucose was measured, they were injected with ethanol, and placed hack into the activity detectors for 60 minutes. Blood glucose was again measured after the 60 minutes had elapsed. Insulin caused a decrease in motor activity both prior to and after ethanol injections. Without insulin a dose of 1000 mg/kg of ethanol was required to significantly decrease activity. However, with insulin pre-treatment, significant decreases were seen at 300 mg/kg and higher doses of ethanol. Insulin decreased blood glucose before and after ethanol injections, but ethanol did not influence blood glucose levels, nor did it interact with the insulin produced hypoglycemia.

description: Small perturbations in the structure of materials significantly affect their properties. One example are single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which exhibit chirality-dependent near infrared (NIR) fluorescence. They can be modified with quantum defects through the reaction with diazonium salts and the number or distribution of these defects determine their photophysics. However, the presence of multiple chiralities in typical SWCNT samples complicates the identification of defect-related emission features. Here, we show that quantum defects do not affect aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) of different SWCNT chiralities into different phases, which pinpoints to low numbers of defects. For bulk samples the bandgap emission (E11) of monochiral (6,5)-SWCNTs decreases and the defect related emission feature (E11*) increases with diazonium salt concentration and represents a proxy for the defect number. The high purity of monochiral samples from ATPE allows us to image NIR fluorescence contributions (E11 = 986 nm, and E11* = 1140 nm) on the single SWCNT level. Interestingly, we observe a stochastic (Poisson) distribution of quantum defects. SWCNTs have most-likely 1 to 3 defects (for low to high (bulk) quantum defect densities). Additionally, we verify this number by following single reaction events that appear as discrete steps in the temporal fluorescence traces. We thereby count single reactions via NIR imaging and demonstrate that stochasticity plays a crucial role for the optical properties of SWCNTs. These results show that there can be a large discrepancy between ensemble and single particle experiments/properties of nanomaterials.

D.R.O.P.S. : drop-off recognition optical processing system
Creators: name: Saxena, Pranav
name: Yee, Rosanna
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this project is to design and develop a drop-off detection system to assist people with vision loss in navigating their surroundings. The system uses two cameras to successfully detect sudden drop-offs, such as stairs, curbs, edges of sky train platforms, etc. The system then provides aural feedback to appropriately notify the user of drop-offs. The research objectives involved learning how to analyze and process images from two cameras to detect drop-offs, using edge detection in conjunction with stereo vision to accurately and consistently locate drop-offs. From testing, it was found that the depth calculations were reasonably accurate with an error of 4.22 cm and meet our error margin of 7.62 cm (3 inches). However, the coefficient of variation was much higher than expected at 48.8%. The average processing speed was 6.21 frames per second which is one-fifth of the Minoru’s sampling speed. In our testing we found that the Minoru camera was not designed for outdoor use in very bright conditions, as the lighting can overwhelm the input and make it difficult to perform analysis. It was also required for street curbs to have an edge on the road, so that there is an edge to compare with the edge of the curb as seen in the image. There are various improvements that could be made to the current system. Currently, speech feedback is not implemented; instead, a series of beeps are used to warn the user. Outdoor performance could be improved by adding an optical filter to the Minoru camera. Calculations for the distance between the user and the drop-off are inaccurate, due to correlation errors from edge-noisy drop-offs. The fixture holding the Minoru could be redesigned to be more user-friendly. Optimization of the algorithms could also improve processing speeds. A working prototype has been demonstrated to the project sponsor Dr. Leung. This project has the potential to greatly benefit people that are visually impaired by providing a cost-effective, user-friendly, and useful tool to help them navigate their everyday environment.

description: Engineering deterministic photonic gates with simple resources is one of the long-standing challenges in photonic quantum computing. Here, we design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters. The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes with different resonant momenta at the emitter's transition frequency. By studying the system's multi-photon scattering response, we demonstrate that, in certain limits, this configuration induces a non-linear $π$-phase shift between the polariton eigenstates of the system without distorting spectrally the wavepackets. Then, we show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings, with a fidelity arbitrarily close to 1 in the limit of large number of emitters and coupling efficiency. Our configuration can be implemented in topological photonic platforms with multiple chiral edge modes, opening their use for quantum information processing, or in other setups where such chiral multi-mode waveguide scenario can be obtained, e.g., in spin-orbit coupled optical fibers or photonic crystal waveguides.

description: Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is one of the hardest tasks in natural language understanding and knowledge engineering. The glass ceiling of 80% F1 score is recently achieved through supervised deep-learning, enriched by a variety of knowledge graphs. Here, we propose a novel neurosymbolic methodology that is able to push the F1 score above 90%. The core of our methodology is a neurosymbolic sense embedding, in terms of a configuration of nested balls in n-dimensional space. The centre point of a ball well-preserves word embedding, which partially fix the locations of balls. Inclusion relations among balls precisely encode symbolic hypernym relations among senses, and enable simple logic deduction among sense embeddings, which cannot be realised before. We trained a Transformer to learn the mapping from a contextualized word embedding to its sense ball embedding, just like playing the game of darts (a game of shooting darts into a dartboard). A series of experiments are conducted by utilizing pre-training n-ball embeddings, which have the coverage of around 70% training data and 75% testing data in the benchmark WSD corpus. The F1 scores in experiments range from 90.1% to 100.0% in all six groups of test data-sets (each group has 4 testing data with different sizes of n-ball embeddings). Our novel neurosymbolic methodology has the potential to break the ceiling of deep-learning approaches for WSD. Limitations and extensions of our current works are listed.

Information extraction

description: The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has boosted performance and possibilities in various NLP tasks. While the usage of generative AI models like ChatGPT opens up new opportunities for several business use cases, their current tendency to hallucinate fake content strongly limits their applicability to document analysis, such as information retrieval from documents. In contrast, extractive language models like question answering (QA) or passage retrieval models guarantee query results to be found within the boundaries of an according context document, which makes them candidates for more reliable information extraction in productive environments of companies. In this work we propose an approach that uses and integrates extractive QA models for improved feature extraction of German business documents such as insurance reports or medical leaflets into a document analysis solution. We further show that fine-tuning existing German QA models boosts performance for tailored extraction tasks of complex linguistic features like damage cause explanations or descriptions of medication appearance, even with using only a small set of annotated data. Finally, we discuss the relevance of scoring metrics for evaluating information extraction tasks and deduce a combined metric from Levenshtein distance, F1-Score, Exact Match and ROUGE-L to mimic the assessment criteria from human experts.
Rapid Synthesis of Ligand-Based Radicals from Chromium(II) Compounds

description: The existence of metal complexes that contain ligand-based radicals has been known for years, yet has mainly been regarded as a spectroscopic oddity. More recently, the effects of these redox non-innocent ligands on the reactivities of first-row transition metals during catalytic processes has been examined. In an effort to study the reactivities of some of these complexes, a series of octahedral Cr(III) complexes with both redox innocent and non-innocent ligands was synthesized. The square planar Cr(II) compound Cr(DPM)2 was found to be an excellent single electron reductant for a variety of neutral diimines to give the corresponding octahedral Cr(DPM)2(LX•) complexes. In addition, the use of a variety of Cr(II) compounds as single electron reductant prior to protonolysis of the resulting Cr(bpy) complex with a variety of ligands of the form H(R,R’-acac) was found to give the corresponding Cr(R,R’-acac)2(bpy•) complex, allowing for greater tuning of the ancillary ligands. The radical complexes were found to be intensely coloured and air sensitive, and were primarily characterized by UV/vis spectrophotometry. In addition, the complex Cr(DPM)2(bpy•) was found to rapidly and quantitatively react with trityl bromide via an outer-sphere single electron transfer mechanism, generating the trityl radical and the cationic Cr(DPM)2(bpy) complex.

description: Các chi tiết quang học độ chính xác cao đóng vai trò đặc biệt quan trọng trong quá trình bùng nổ phát triển các sản phẩm công nghệ cao ở rất nhiều các lĩnh vực từ giải trí, công nghiệp đến an ninh-quốc phòng những năm gần đây. Ví dụ, thấu kính (lens) quang học của máy ảnh, máy quay kĩ thuật số hiện tại yêu cầu độ chính xác hình dáng nhỏ hơn 1m và độ nhám bề mặt Ra nhỏ hơn 20nm. Các phương pháp gia công tinh bao gồm mài và đánh bóng yêu cầu lựa chọn chế độ công nghệ vô cùng khắt khe, và trong nhiều trường hợp không thể thỏa mãn các chi tiết yêu cầu độ chính xác cao và hình dáng phức tạp. Hơn nữa, về mặt kinh tế, các phương pháp gia công truyền thống này đòi hỏi chi phí trang bị công nghệ cao, thời gian gia công lớn dẫn tới năng suất rất thấp và không phù hợp cho sản xuất hàng loạt. Công nghệ dập khuôn thủy tinh chính xác (Precision Glass Molding) gần đây được tập trung nghiên cứu và phát triển tại Viện Fraunhofer IPT, CHLB Đức cho phép đồng thời thỏa mãn yêu cầu kể trên, bao gồm độ chính xác đặc biệt của các chi tiết quang học trong các sản phẩm công nghệ cao và giá thành phù hợp. Bài báo giới thiệu khả năng công nghệ của phương pháp dập khuôn chính xác; đồng thời chỉ ra tiềm năng ứng dụng to lớn trong lĩnh vực quang học trên thế giới và tại Việt Nam.
description: Ultra-precision optics has greatly contributed their significance in the emerging developments of high technology products in various ranges from entertainment, industry to military defense. Optical lenses of camera, for example, require an accuracy of less than 1m and surface roughness Ra less than 20nm. The direct manufacturing, including grinding and polishing is not able to fulfil such those precious requirements. Moreover, due to the expensive investment of the machining systems together with high machining time, this traditional method becomes not appropriate for volume production of the precision optics. Precision Glass Molding has been developed in Fraunhofer IPT in Germany, which allows to succeed in fabricating ultra-precision optics and requires less time consumption. This paper presents this innovative technology in molding of glass optics and illustrates obviously potential applications in the today’s optical markets.

Timber harvesting within a supply and value chain optimization context
Creators: name: Motsa, Cornelius
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In the forest sector, the supply chain starts with growing stock and proceeds to single or multiple series of transformation. Value chain optimization is an approach that maximizes value across the entire supply chain (Karlsson, Ronnqvist and Weintraub, 2007). The chain starts with raw material (standing timber), where physical activities have been implemented to get the raw material to different markets. This paper aims to discussing forest supply chain from an operative planning perspective within forest operations: timber harvesting, primary transport, and secondary transport to various markets. Short-term planning (harvesting and distribution) needs to become integrated with sawmilling planning and production. In order to optimize value across the entire supply chain, it is crucial to realize that timber harvesting operations have a major influence on the value being optimized. Arguably, for a holistic supply and value chain optimization, harvesting operations should be aimed at value maximization in consideration of the entire supply chain. The real challenges in forest harvesting supply and value chain optimization are bucking, production and logistics planning.

† Protosiphonorhinus patrickmuelleri sp. nov.
Derivation of name.
From Greek “ prôtos ” (first, earliest) + pre-existing generic name Siphonorhinus, meaning ancestor of the extant genus. Gender masculine.
Diagnosis.
Protosiphonorhinus gen. nov. species are small (7 mm), short (<40 tergites) (Figs 2 A, B, 3 A), setose siphonorhinids with neither paranota nor spines surrounding the ozopore (Figs 2 F, 3 G). Metazonites smooth except for setation; ozopores located in posterior-most lateral corners of tergite, without peculiarities (Figs 2 C, 3 G). First leg in males is unmodified; coxa not fused to sternite / stigmatic plate (Fig. 3 E). Head pear-shaped (Figs 2 D, 3 A – C). Anterior gonopod consists of 7 podomeres with a rectangular posterior process on podomere 5 (Fig. 4 A – E). Antenna features an only weakly elongated but slender antennomere 2 and a massively enlarged and swollen (resembling a citron) antennomere 6, with deep pits present laterally on antennomeres 5 and 6 (Figs 2 D – F, 3 A – C).
Protosiphonorhinus gen. nov. differs with 7 podomeres in the anterior gonopod (Figs 4 A – E) – as present in Illacme (see Marek et al. 2016, 2023), Notiorhinus (see Moritz and Parra-Gómez 2023), and Madagascarhinus (see Wesener 2023) from Kleruchus (see Attems 1938), Nematozonium (see Shelley and Hoffman 2004), and Siphonorhinus (see Anilkumar et al. 2024) with 6 podomeres in the anterior gonopods.
Protosiphonorhinus gen. nov. differs from all known genera in the small number of segments present in mature specimens (<40), with species of Madagascarhinus Wesener, 2023, and Siphonorhinus being closest (starting at 60). Protosiphonorhinus gen. nov. shares only with the Asian representatives of the family – the monotypic Kleruchus Attems, 1938, and Siphonorhinus – the presence of pits on antennomeres 5 and 6 (Fig. 2 D, E), which are absent in all other Siphonorhinidae genera. Protosiphonorhinus gen. nov. differs from both extant Asian genera in the absence of paranota (Fig. 2 C) (present in both Siphonorhinus and Kleruchus), as well as the presence of a lemon-shaped antennomere 6 which reaches its greatest width medially (Figs 2 D, 3 A – C) (antennomere 6 cylindrical in Kleruchus, vastly swollen reaching its greatest width more apically in Siphonorhinus).

description: Die vorliegende Studie vermittelt einen Überblick über die IST-Situation der Pflegedokumentation in Krankenhäusern. Innerhalb der Studie wird eine Befragung von Pflegekräften zur Einschätzung der Pflegedokumentation durchgeführt. Ein besonderes Ziel war die Ermittlung der Zeitaufwände, welche direkt der Pflegedokumentation zugewiesen werden können sowie die Ermittlung der Technikbereitschaft der Pflegefachkräfte zur Einführung neuer Technologien. Ergänzt wird die Befragung um eine sensorbasierte Messung im Krankenhaus zur erstmaligen Erfassung von Zeitaufwänden für die Pflegedokumentation. Die Studie wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes »Eingabefreie Station - Bewegungsbasierte Aufnahme von Pflegetätigkeiten zur automatisierten Dokumentation im Krankenhaus«, in Zusammenarbeit mit den Projektpartnern, durchgeführt. Ziel des Forschungsprojekts ist es, pflegerische Tätigkeiten mithilfe einer technischen Lösung, basierend auf Sensorik und künstlicher Intelligenz, automatisiert zu erkennen, um sie nachträglich und selbstständig in der digitalen Patientenakte zu dokumentieren. Das Projekt soll dazu beitragen Pflegefachkräfte von patientenfernen und administrativen Tätigkeiten zu entlasten sowie mehr Zeit und Raum für die Patienteninteraktion zu schaffen.

description: Combining data from various sources empowers researchers to explore innovative questions, for example those raised by conducting healthcare monitoring studies. However, the lack of a unique identifier often poses challenges. Record linkage procedures determine whether pairs of observations collected on different occasions belong to the same individual using partially identifying variables (e.g. birth year, postal code). Existing methodologies typically involve a compromise between computational efficiency and accuracy. Traditional approaches simplify this task by condensing information, yet they neglect dependencies among linkage decisions and disregard the one-to-one relationship required to establish coherent links. Modern approaches offer a comprehensive representation of the data generation process, at the expense of computational overhead and reduced flexibility. We propose a flexible method, that adapts to varying data complexities, addressing registration errors and accommodating changes of the identifying information over time. Our approach balances accuracy and scalability, estimating the linkage using a Stochastic Expectation Maximisation algorithm on a latent variable model. We illustrate the ability of our methodology to connect observations using large real data applications and demonstrate the robustness of our model to the linking variables quality in a simulation study. The proposed algorithm FlexRL is implemented and available in an open source R package.

The potential effects of the mountain pine beetle on the five species of Pacific salmon in the Fraser River Basin
Creators: name: Toda, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The effects of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic in British Columbia have the potential to affect the five species of Pacific salmon that spawn in the Fraser River basin. The lifecycles of all five species were studied to try and create a comparison among the species. Facts about the beetle, the Fraser River and Pacific salmon were collected from multiple sources to showcase what they have in common. It was found that the Mountain Pine Beetle has the potential to impact Pacific salmon directly and indirectly, in both positive and negative ways. Fewer coarse woody debris inputs into small streams, increases in small tributary temperatures, peak flow levels and timing, and increased nutrient levels can be seen to affect both adult and juvenile salmon at different points in their life cycles. Future research needs to be collected, and awareness of the potential effects needs to be shared.

title: Senegal Manuel du Formateur des Maitres de Classes Multigrades

Subjects: subject: Bilingual, Multilingual, and Multicultural Education
subject: International and Comparative Education

description: Depuis que les classes multi grades existent dans notre pays (et cela, depuis le temps colonial), la problématique de la formation des maîtres dans les stratégies d’enseignement multi grade s’est toujours posée. Les formateurs dans les structures de formation des instituteurs et les inspecteurs chargés de conduire la formation continuée des maîtres disposaient de peu d’outils pour prendre en charge cette problématique. Avec ce manuel que le Projet LIRE (Learning Initiatives in Rural Education) propose aux formateurs, un vide vient d’être comblé. Ce projet financé par un fonds en fidéicommis de la Banque Mondiale, Sénégal, numéro de contrat 7145279l, veut contribuer à l’accroissement de l’accès et à l’amélioration de la qualité de l’éducation dans les zones rurales à faible densité de population du Sénégal et de la Gambie.
description: Avec un Taux Brut de Scolarisation (TBS) de 86% en 2007, le Sénégal est résolument engagé dans la lutte pour réaliser les objectifs d’une Education de Qualité Pour Tous d’ici l’an 2015. Mais pour y arriver, il faudra identifier les meilleures stratégies permettant d’enrôler dans le système tous les enfants en âge d’aller à l’école. Ces enfants, pour la plupart, se trouvent dans les hameaux les plus reculés en zone rurale. Les classes multi grades apparaissent ainsi comme une alternative incontournable dans les zones rurales et urbaines à faible densité de population si le pays veut réaliser la scolarisation universelle dans les délais fixés. C’est toute la signification qu’il faut donner à l’expansion des classes multi grades au Sénégal depuis quelques années, dans un contexte marqué par : Le dénuement quasi total des écoles rurales ; L’absence de formation initiale et continuée des maîtres dans les stratégies d’enseignement multi grade; La réticence des communautés villageoises face à ce qu’elles considèrent comme « une école pour pauvres ». C’est dans un tel contexte qu’est né le Projet LIRE dont la mise en œuvre a permis la réalisation de ce manuel du formateur de maîtres des CMG. La première partie présente les objectifs de la formation et les stratégies à mettre en œuvre ainsi que le cadre de référence ; La deuxième partie aborde l’étude des différents modules, sous forme de thèmes, structurés en séances. Les approches sont fondées sur la participation active du bénéficiaire de la formation en s’appuyant sur ce qu’il sait du sujet d’étude et sur ce qu’il veut en savoir. La stratégie mise en œuvre au cours des sessions de formation, et que nous vous suggérons, c’est de parler le moins possible etde laisser l’apprenant s’investir pour la conquête du savoir en le faisant produire individuellement puis en groupe comme dans une classe multi grade, à partir de consignes de travail précises.

Western larch reforestation in British Columbia : opportunity and guidance for expansion by assisted migration to southern interior ecosystems of B.C.
Creators: name: Nash, Robert
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Western larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.) is a vigorous tree species in interior (Kootenay) ecosystems of British Columbia. Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) has been extensively planted as monocultures across the BC interior for many decades and concerns over future forest health and productivity have arisen as many of these lodgepole pine stands have succumb to many damaging agents past “free to grow” status (Mather, et al. 2010). New forest management policies that include western larch reforestation and expansion through assisted migration should be developed in order to diversify our species selection for reforestation in the BC interior. Western larch has many advantages over lodgepole pine which include higher productivity on certain sites and greater wood qualities that fit in well with diversifying our ecosystems and increasing the value of our future timber supply. The Kamloops Future Forest Initiative and the Wood First Initiative are two projects that can streamline the growth and expansion of western larch reforestation into interior ecosystems and forest management plans. There are numerous examples of western larch growing well on sites around Merritt and Kamloops BC which demonstrate the species can adapt well to certain sites out of its natural range. In this paper I discuss why foresters and forest policy makers should enable flexibility in stocking standards for western larch and discuss issues of increasing western larch reforestation in the BC interior.

description: Previous research has documented the numerous negative effects associated with corporal punishment (Gershoff, 2002). The present study examined whether experiencing corporal punishment as a child is related to one's perception of the legitimacy of corporal punishment, race, the nature of the parent-child relationship (i.e., biological parent versus step-parent), and psychological well-being. Compared to college students who did not experience corporal punishment during childhood, college students who experienced higher levels of corporal punishment are expected to report that corporal punishment is a more acceptable form of discipline. College students who grew up with a stepfather were expected to be more likely to report having received corporal punishment as a disciplinary technique during childhood than were biological parents. African-American college students were expected to report higher levels of corporal punishment than were European-American college students. An interaction was expected such that European-American students who reported high levels of corporal punishment would report more depressive symptoms and psychological adjustment difficulties than would European-American students who experienced lower levels of corporal punishment during childhood or African-American college students who reported higher or lower levels of corporal punishment. College students who received corporal punishment as children believed that corporal punishment was a more acceptable form of punishment than college students who were not spanked as children. Results of the other hypotheses were not significant. That is, after controlling for paternal education and family income, African-American college students were not more likely to report having received corporal punishment as children. In addition, individuals who lived with their biological mothers and a stepfather during the majority of childhood were not more likely to have received corporal punishment. Finally, experiencing corporal punishment as a child was not a significant predictor of psychological well-being for college students.

description: Corporate Venture Units (CVUs) appear to be a promising vehicle to strengthen the future competitiveness of corporations by focusing on ambidexterity, i.e., exploiting core strengths and business activities while exploring new business models. Due to their exploratory focus, CVUs operate more independently to circumvent the (organizational) difficulties that incumbents may have when attempting to innovate. In order to address a persistent disparity in the organizational setup and maturity of CVUs, the present study identifies relevant success factors for achieving excellence in establishing and operating Corporate Venture Units. While there are differences in the success factors depending on the strategic mandate, innovation horizon and innovation vehicle, this study identifies eight overarching recommendations that can be observed across multiple successful CVUs. By incorporating these recommendations, the odds of successfully establishing and operating a CVU may be increased.
