title: Orienting a protein model by crossing number to generate the characteristic views for identification

authors: Au, Chi Kit

subjects: Characteristic views

abstract: A protein model (such as a ribbon model) can be created from the atomic coordinates in the protein data base files. These coordinates are obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy with the protein arbitrarily oriented. As such, identifying or comparing a novel structure with a known item using protein model in the protein data base can be a timely process since a large number of transformations may be involved. The identification efficiency will be improved if the protein models are uniformly oriented. This paper presents an approach to orient a protein model to generate the characteristic views with minimum and maximum crossings respectively. The projection directions for these characteristic views are determined by a set of crossing maps (C-maps). Re-orientating the protein models in the protein data base to two characteristic views will facilitate the process of identification.

title: Physiological, kinematic and electromyographic responses to patella taping in elite cyclists

authors: Hébert-Losier, Kim

abstract: The use of Kinesiology-Type Tape (KTT) has become increasingly popular in sports for injury prevention, injury management, and performance enhancement.
Many cyclists use patella KTT; however, the benefits of such interventions remain unclear, especially in uninjured elite cyclists.
We aimed to determine the acute physiological, kinematic, and electromyographic (EMG) responses to applying patella KTT in elite cyclists.

title: Consequences of cultural satisfaction at work: A study of New Zealand Māori

authors: Haar, Jarrod M.

subjects: cultural satisfaction at work

abstract: To expand our understanding of indigenous workers and the importance of indigenous culture in the workplace, we tested the outcomes of cultural satisfaction at work using structural equation modelling with a sample of 174 Māori employees. We show that, consistent with social exchange theory, Māori who are more satisfied with the level of understanding of their cultural values in the workplace report better job outcomes. Cultural satisfaction at work directly predicted loyalty and organisational citizenship behaviours (OCBs). Furthermore, direct-effects and mediation models were tested, showing that loyalty fully mediated the influence of cultural satisfaction at work on OCBs. The implications for HRM are that indigenous workers who are more satisfied with the way their cultural beliefs are valued in the workplace are likely to be more loyal and may be superior performance. The findings highlight the importance for employers of having regard to the culture of their indigenous workers.
