Design and implementation of a pilot orientation program for new NASA engineering employees

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper describes the design and field testing of an orientation program for new employees of NASA Lewis Research Center's Engineering Directorate. A group of new employees designed the program using a series of TQM analysis techniques. The program objectives were: provide consistent treatment for new employees; assist management and clerical staff with their responsibility for orientation; introduce the employee to as many facets of the organization as possible; allow the employee to feel like a member of the organization as early as possible; maximize the use of existing services; and use up-to-date information. The major aspects of the program included: training of management and clerical staff; lab tours and briefings describing the organization; shepherding, using senior employees as shepherds; a handbook of information about the center and the directorate; a package of information about northeast Ohio; and social activities involving the new employees and shepherds. The program was tested on a pilot group of six new employees over a four month period and was considered to be highly successful by both the employees and management. Aspects of the program have subsequently been adopted for center-wide use.
Porous Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Film Solar Cells: Final Report, 24 May 1999--24 May 2002

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The initial focus of this project was to build on previous work performed in our group and investigate the use of porous polycrystalline silicon (Psi) as an active material in a solar cell to take advantage of potential bandgap tuning, light trapping, and blue-harvesting photoluminescence effects. However, through our work on various substrate materials, we have found that the electrical characteristics of thick (several microns) PSi layers needed for active devices are extremely sensitive to the substrate doping profiles and crystalline morphology. This sensitivity makes reproducibility difficult even in a well-controlled research environment, and therefore, prospects for commercial thick-film PSi devices are limited. We have now focused our investigation on the use of thin PSi layers for antireflective coating applications. By isolating these layers in the heavily doped surface region of a solar cell, the electrical properties of the p-n junction are relatively unaffected. Provided that good electrical contacts can be made to the material under the porous layer, the electrical properties of the PSi film are not critical, and only the optical properties need to be optimized.

New world, other value

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Recent studies on artistic modernism pay particular attention to the art histories of the non-West by doing less with Western theoretical conducts and how they define “modern art.” The present book, in line with these studies, surveys artistic modernism while it recognizes “modernism” as a response to confluences of social, economic and political forces. The book thus skips frameworks of a comparative study for the strategies that mainly aim to unveil similarities or dissimilarities between what is modern and what is not. It instead returns to and captures the ways artists conceived their works as modern art; moreover, it collects documents which better display the relation between these works and their contextual causes: What is needed more now is an understanding of the necessities which encouraged artists into creating new forms as absolute responses. Parastoo Jafari completed her master’s degree in art research at IAU Tehran with an interest in artistic developments of post–Islamic Revolution Iran. She received a doctoral degree in art history at LMU Munich focusing on material and intellectual contexts of artistic modernism. She collaborated as research assistant with Walter De Gruyter and University of Munich, contributed to curatorial projects on Iranian art and, as an author and translator, works with topics relating to modern and contemporary art with particular attention to Iran.
Six‐Axis Ground Motion Measurements of Caldera Collapse at Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai'i—More Data, More Puzzles?

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Near‐field recordings of large earthquakes and volcano‐induced events using traditional seismological instrumentation often suffer from unaccounted effects of local tilt and saturation of signals. Recent hardware advances have led to the development of the blueSeis‐3A, a very broadband, highly sensitive rotational motion sensor. We installed this sensor in close proximity to permanently deployed classical instrumentation (i.e., translational seismometer, accelerometer, and tiltmeter) at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (USGS). There, we were able to record three ~Mw 5 earthquakes associated with large collapse events during the later phase of the 2018 Kīlauea summit eruption. Located less than 2 km from the origins of these sources, the combined six‐axis translational and rotational measurements revealed clear static rotations around all three coordinate axes. With these six component recordings, we have been able to reconstruct the complete time history of ground motion of a fixed point during an earthquake for the first time.
A single amino acid deletion at the amino terminus of influenza virus hemagglutinin causes malfolding and blocks exocytosis of the molecule in mammalian cells.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

I am investigating the role of protein folding in the transport of influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), a membrane-bound protein, along the exocytotic pathway. From a previous work (Gething, M.-J., McCammon, K., and Sambrook, J. (1986) Cell 46, 939-950), it has been shown that a subset of alterations of the COOH-terminal sequences of the HA molecule inhibit folding and impede its transport to the cell surface. Current studies establish that the integrity of the NH2-terminal sequences of the HA is essential for assembly and transport of the molecule. Mutants lacking just 1 or 2 amino acids immediately COOH-terminal to the signal cleavage site are translocated and core glycosylated, but also incorrectly folded. The mutant molecules are not terminally glycosylated and are thus confined inside the cells. A hypothesis will be presented to explain why sequences at opposite ends of the HA molecule are essential for the assembly of native structures and why correct folding is necessary for transport along the exocytotic pathway of mammalian cells.
An efficient Micropropagation Protocol for Nutritionally Rich Varieties of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

An efficient and reproducible plant regeneration protocol for nutritionally rich varieties of sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas L.), Gouri and Bhu Sona was developed. The effect of different hormone combinations and types of explants on shoot regeneration was evaluated to optimize the regeneration protocol. Among the explants and hormone combinations tested, only nodal explants with axillary bud of both the varieties produced shoots and the maximum per cent shoot induction in Gouri (100%) was observed in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 BAP and 1.0 mg l-1 BAP along with 1.0 mg l-1 GA3. Similarly, maximum per cent shoot induction (96.67%) in Bhu Sona was observed in the medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l-1 BAP along with 1.0 mg l-1 GA3 and 1.0 mg l-1 BAP. Leaf, petiole and root explants produced compact callus, which did not regenerate into shoots in shoot induction medium. Regenerated shoots were transferred to different rooting media and maximum rooting in both the varieties were observed in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l-1 IBA. An efficient, reproducible plant regeneration protocol developed for sweet potato varieties, Gouri and Bhu Sona can be used for mass production of planting materials of these varieties and/or any other plant biotechnological approaches.
Characteristics of Olfactory Threshold and Cerebral Blood Flow during Olfactory Stimulation in Patients with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is characterized by somatic distress upon exposure to odors. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Patients with MCS process odors differently compared with controls. Previously, we suggested that this odor-processing was associated with activation in the prefrontal area connecting to the anterior cingulate cortex, which has been suggested to be an area of odorant-related activation in MCS patients. Activation was defined as a significant increase in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) because of odorant stimulation. In this study, near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) imaging was used to investigate changes in rCBF in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) after olfactory stimulation by a T&T olfactometer with two different odorants (sweet and fecal) at three concentrations (zero, recognition threshold, and normal). NIRS imaging was performed in 12 MCS patients and 10 controls. The T&T olfactometer threshold test and subjective assessment of perception of irritating and hedonic odors were also performed. The results indicated that the scores of both unpleasant and pungent odors were significantly higher for sweet odor at normal concentration in MCS patients than in the controls. The responses for normal concentrations in the PFC were stronger in MCS patients than in controls. However, significant differences in the detection and recognition thresholds and odor intensity score between the two groups were not observed. This study suggests that cognition to general odors in MCS patients is unpleasant and pungent, and the responses in the PFC are strong for such odors in MCS patients. Further investigations regarding the cognitive features of sensory perception and memory for general odorants and the associations of the odors with prefrontal information processing involving odor-processing neuronal circuits are needed to understand the possible pathophysiological mechanisms underlying various symptoms of MCS.
Third-body Wear Damage Produced in CoCr Surfaces by Hydroxyapatite and Alumina Ceramic Debris: A 10-cycle Metal-on-Metal Simulator Study

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Ceramic particles are believed to be particularly abrasive due to their extreme hardness. Ceramic debris has been reported in retrieved total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to chipping and fracture of alumina components or by flaking of hydroxyapatite from implant coatings. However there appears to be no abrasion ranking of such particle behavior. The hypotheses in this study were, i) alumina particles would create large scratches in CoCr surfaces and ii) hydroxyapatite would produce very mild scratching comparable to bone-cement particles. Hydroxyapatite beads came in two types of commercial powders while the flakes were scraped from retrieved femoral stems. Alumina beads came in two commercial powders and flakes were retrieved from a fractured ceramic head. Particle morphologies were determined by SEM and CoCr surface damage by interferometry and SEM. Six 38-mm MOM were mounted inverted in a hip simulator and run with ceramic particles inserted for a 10-second test. Surface-roughness ranking after 10-second abrasion test revealed that bone cement and hydroxyapatite produced least damage to CoCr surfaces while alumina produced the most. Alumina increased surface roughness 19-fold greater than either hydroxyapatite or bone-cement particles. The alumina debris produced numerous scratches typically 20-80 µm wide with some up to 140µm wide. Surprisingly the alumina beads and flakes were pulverized within the 10-second test interval and remained adherent to the CoCr surfaces. Additionally, the hydroxyapatite although also a ceramic had no more effect on CoCr than the bone-cement debris. Use of well-characterized and commercially available alumina and hydroxyapatite powders appeared advantageous for abrasion tests. These new data indicated that such ceramic powders have merit.
Getting There, Being There, Staying and Belonging: A Case Study of Two Indigenous Australian Children's Transition to School

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Indigenous Australians are among the most unhealthy populations in the world and yet they reside in a country where the non‐Indigenous population enjoys high standards of well‐being. Education has been identified as the key mechanism for closing this equity gap. At school commencement many Indigenous children are already at risk of disengagement. This four‐year longitudinal study of two Indigenous boys from a socially marginalised community examined key factors affecting transitional trajectories into school. While child characteristics affected level of achievement the critical factors in sustaining positive educational engagement were social support, school practices, inclusion of family and positive expectation.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEPTIONS AND LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE UNDER SELF ASSESSMENT SYSTEM – A STUDY IN THE EAST COAST REGION

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There are three major theoretical perspectives on tax compliance. The first theory perceived that tax compliance is deterred by sanction (Title, C. 1980). Second Theory perceived tax compliance as purely economic decision (Allingham & Sandmo, 1972), while the third theory suggested that tax compliance is determined by non economic factor such as demographic attributes, attitudes and perception towards taxation. In this study, we try to understand tax compliance by using the third model (Kinsey, 1986). Hence, the objectives of this study are (1) to examine the relationship between satisfaction towards the services provided by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) and tax compliance; (2) to examine the relationship between knowledge on taxation and tax compliance; and (3) to determine factors that contributed to the satisfaction towards the services provided by the IRB. Satisfaction towards the services provided and knowledge on taxation are the independent variables of this study, meanwhile tax compliance, which being measured by timeliness of submitting the tax return is the dependent variables. In addition, 9 point Likert Scale questions have being used to measure the level of satisfaction. Meanwhile, to measure the respondents’ knowledge on taxation, 10 questions on taxation are given, and the respondents need to state whether the answer is ‘True’ or ‘False’. 300 questionnaires were distributed to sole proprietors in three states in East Coast Region. In return, we received 199 responses from the respondents, which results to 66.3% response rate. By using Cross tabulation, the result indicates that there are relationship between satisfaction and tax compliance, where out of 10 questions given, 4 questions on satisfaction are significantly correlated with tax compliance. Furthermore, Chi- square analysis also indicates that there is correlation between tax knowledge and tax compliance. In addition, factor analysis conducted depicts that 3 questions contributed to the level of satisfaction, which are overall satisfaction towards the services provided by the IRB, satisfaction towards the time taken to process the tax return, and the time taken to process the tax refund. However, this study cannot be generalized to all the taxpayers in Malaysia, since it was conducted in three states only

Spatial coding of tactual stimulation.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Responses were paired with stimulation from six vibrators, fixed in a T formation, which 5" contacted with the three middle fingers of each hand.After 12 learning trials, the relationship between fingers and vibrators was completely changed by reversing S's hands.In this transfer condition, some •$"5 were allowed to respond spontaneously to the stimuli; others were asked specifically to give the same responses to the same fingers or, alternatively, the same responses to the same vibrators.Results showed that 6"s learned both types of association and could transfer rather well on either basis.For 6"s with unrestricted vision, associations with vibrators (i.e., locations in physical space) were clearly stronger than finger associations; no such difference was found for blindfolded ,9s.This result suggests that spatial location is represented primarily in visual terms, even when based on input from another modality.
