Determinants of organizational performance: a proposed framework

The purpose of this paper is to review the existing literature on determinants that influence organizational performance and to develop a framework that could be beneficial for leaders.  This paper uses a systematic review of articles on the factors that influence organizational performance. The purpose of this systematic review is to collect and summarize all empirical evidence from literature that fits the context of this study.  The findings of the study have been weaved together in a proposed framework for the role of cognitive, emotional, and social competencies on leadership competencies that in turn influence both employee and organizational performance.  This paper is a literature review, a framework on the determinants of organizational performance has been proposed but has not yet been tested empirically.  Leaders can leverage the results of this study to enhance their leadership competencies for the purpose of improving the performance on both individual employee and organizational levels.  There are few research based studies on the determinants of organizational performance. This paper has identified key variables that play a significant role in helping organizations perform effectively.
Direct and configurational paths of absorptive capacity and organizational innovation to successful organizational performance

This study investigates how firms can achieve high levels of organizational performance under different configurations of absorptive capacity and organizational innovation. The study uses partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to test relationships among dimensions of absorptive capacity, organizational innovation, and organizational performance. The results provide support for the absorptive capacity's role for organizational innovation and performance. Furthermore, different configurations of absorptive capacity and organizational innovation conditions lead to better organizational performance.
Webly supervised Fine grained Visual Categorization via Deep Domain Adaptation.
Venue: IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence

Learning visual representations from web data has recently attracted attention for object recognition. Previous studies have mainly focused on overcoming label noise and data bias and have shown promising results by learning directly from web data. However, we argue that it might be better to transfer knowledge from existing human labeling resources to improve performance at nearly no additional cost. In this paper, we propose a new semi supervised method for learning via web data. Our method has the unique design of exploiting strong supervision, i.e. in addition to standard image level labels, our method also utilizes detailed annotations including object bounding boxes and part landmarks. By transferring as much knowledge as possible from existing strongly supervised datasets to weakly supervised web images, our method can benefit from sophisticated object recognition algorithms and overcome several typical problems found in webly supervised learning. We consider the problem of fine grained visual categorization, in which existing training resources are scarce, as our main research objective. Comprehensive experimentation and extensive analysis demonstrate encouraging performance of the proposed approach, which, at the same time, delivers a new pipeline for fine grained visual categorization that is likely to be highly effective for real world applications.

Bas relief generation from face photograph based on facial feature enhancement
Venue: Multimedia Tools and Applications

This paper describes a novel method for generating a bas relief surface from the photographic image of a human face. One of the simplest methods is to take each pixel brightness as a depth value and use it to elevate the resulting surface. Although this approach can generate a bas relief surface with realistic textures, it has the disadvantage of generating erroneous 3D depth. This problem is especially serious in the areas of facial features, such as hair, eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips, because they are often composed of dark pixel values, and hence make the corresponding area sunken on the resulting surface. Our main contribution is to resolve this problem by detecting the facial features and making them protrude by adjusting the brightness values of the areas. The experimental results show that our method generates realistic and natural looking bas relief surfaces that represent more accurate 3D depth, especially in the areas of facial features.
Bas relief Generation from Face Photograph Based on Facial Feature Detection

In this paper, we propose a method that creates bas relief surfaces by brightness dark parts on the face in the photograph. The proposed approach includes two phases: firstly, we detect the special parts on the face, then the second phase determines the dark parts and adjusts the brightness of image. By this way, we detected face parts which combine with the knowledge of the Equations of Lines to make the nose part will not be sunk suddenly in 3d environment and make them look like realistically. We called the proposed method is abEL (adjust brightness by the Equations of Lines) Additionally, we use some image processing techniques (such as the morphological opening closing by reconstruction with suitable thresholds to invert color of the hair part and the other parts which are outside of the face).By this way, using this technique is not only make eyebrows brighter, but also make the whites of the eyes more darker which make the photograph becomes better.
Tip Clearance Measurement in the First Stage of the Compressor of an Aircraft Engine
Venue: Sensors

In this article, we report the design of a reflective intensity modulated optical fiber sensor for blade tip clearance measurement, and the experimental results for the first stage of a compressor of an aircraft engine operating in real conditions. The tests were performed in a ground test cell, where the engine completed four cycles from idling state to takeoff and back to idling state. During these tests, the rotational speed of the compressor ranged between 7000 and 15,600 rpm. The main component of the sensor is a tetrafurcated bundle of optical fibers, with which the resulting precision of the experimental measurements was 12 um for a measurement range from 2 to 4 mm. To get this precision the effect of temperature on the optoelectronic components of the sensor was compensated by calibrating the sensor in a climate chamber. A custom designed MATLAB program was employed to simulate the behavior of the sensor prior to its manufacture.
Real time temperature monitoring of Si substrate during plasma processing and its heat flux analysis

Actual Si wafer temperatures during plasma etching processes were temporally measured using a real time wafer temperature monitoring system with autocorrelation type frequency domain low coherence interferometry. Indeed, the Si wafer temperature, which was 20 degC before the process, rapidly increased in 10 s. Then, the temperature rise gradually slowed, but continued to increase and reached 45 degC after 600 s. This can be due to the fact that there exists a heat source for the wafer other than the plasma. Reasonably, the Si wafer was found to be sensitive to the temperature of the disk covering the area around the wafer, i.e. the focus ring. Usually, the temperature of the focus ring is not controlled and causes the radial distribution of Si wafer temperature. Consequently, the Si wafer temperature should be controlled with the temperature increase of other heat sources, especially the focus ring.

Balancing setup workers' load of flexible job shop scheduling using hybrid genetic algorithm with tabu search strategy

This paper describes optimisation of a multi objective flexible job shop scheduling problem (MO FJSP) in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) where widely various products are manufactured in make to order (MTO) mode. A genetic algorithm using tabu search strategy was applied to solve the MO FJSP incorporating weighted tardiness, setup worker load balance, and work in process. From experiments using data based on real world SME, the solutions obtained using the proposed method are compared with those obtained by conventional earliest due date (EDD) and GA using multi island. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results imply that the proposed approach is applicable not only for production scheduling but also for estimating the investment of resources such as machine and worker capacity.
IMAGE SEGMENTATION BY USING THRESHOLDING TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICAL IMAGES

Image binarization is the process of separation of pixel values into two groups, black as background and white as foreground. Thresholding can be categorized into global thresholding and local thresholding. This paper describes a locally adaptive thresholding technique that removes background by using local mean and standard deviation. Most common and simplest approach to segment an image is using thresholding. In this work we present an efficient implementation for threshoding and give a detailed comparison of Niblack and sauvola local thresholding algorithm. Niblack and sauvola thresholding algorithm is implemented on medical images. The quality of segmented image is measured by statistical parameters: Jaccard Similarity Coefficient, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR)
Progress on Optimizing Miscanthus Biomass Production for the European Bioeconomy: Results of the EU FP7 Project OPTIMISC
Venue: Front. Plant Sci.

This paper describes the complete findings of the EU funded research project OPTIMISC, which investigated methods to optimize the production and use of miscanthus biomass. Miscanthus bioenergy and bioproduct chains were investigated by trialing 15 diverse germplasm types in a range of climatic and soil environments across central Europe, Ukraine, Russia, and China. The abiotic stress tolerances of a wider panel of 100 germplasm types to drought, salinity, and low temperatures were measured in the laboratory and a field trial in Belgium. A small selection of germplasm types was evaluated for performance in grasslands on marginal sites in Germany and the UK. The growth traits underlying biomass yield and quality were measured to improve regional estimates of feedstock availability. Several potential high value bioproducts were identified. The combined results provide recommendations to policymakers, growers and industry. The major technical advances in miscanthus production achieved by OPTIMISC include: (1) demonstration that novel hybrids can out yield the standard commercially grown genotype Miscanthus x giganteus; (2) characterization of the interactions of physiological growth responses with environmental variation within and between sites; (3) quantification of biomass quality relevant traits; (4) abiotic stress tolerances of miscanthus genotypes; (5) selections suitable for production on marginal land; (6) field establishment methods for seeds using plugs; (7) evaluation of harvesting methods; and (8) quantification of energy used in densification (pellet) technologies with a range of hybrids with differences in stem wall properties. End user needs were addressed by demonstrating the potential of optimizing miscanthus biomass composition for the production of ethanol and biogas as well as for combustion. The costs and life cycle assessment of seven miscanthus based value chains, including small and large scale heat and power, ethanol, biogas, and insulation material production, revealed GHG emission and fossil energy saving potentials of up to 30.6 t CO2eq C ha 1y 1 and 429 GJ ha 1y 1, respectively. Transport distance was identified as an important cost factor. Negative carbon mitigation costs of 78EUR t 1 CO2eq C were recorded for local biomass use. The OPTIMISC results demonstrate the potential of miscanthus as a crop for marginal sites and provide information and technologies for the commercial implementation of miscanthus based value chains.
Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration in Japan: Controlling for the Big Five Personality Traits

The present study investigated the function of satisfaction and frustration of the basic psychological needs autonomy, competence, and relatedness that contribute to subjective well being (life satisfaction, vitality, and depression) through a back translation procedure of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) A total of 564 Japanese undergraduates (356 males, 205 females, three unknown; M age 18.61 years, SD 1.48) participated in a questionnaire survey. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the BPNSFS had the same six factor structure as that found in the original version. Structural equation modeling showed that satisfaction of each of the three needs contributed to the prediction of subjective well being (life satisfaction and vitality) whereas frustration of each need uniquely contributed to the prediction of ill being (depressed affect) These results support previous findings found in Belgium, China, the USA, and Peru, confirming that satisfaction of basic psychological needs represents a critical element for healthy functioning across cultures. However, controlling for the effects of the Big Five personality traits indicates the possible over estimation for the functions of the needs while clarifying these roles.

18.2 A 1.2V 20nm 307GB/s HBM DRAM with at speed wafer level I/O test scheme and adaptive refresh considering temperature distribution
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)

Demand for higher bandwidth DRAM continues to increase, especially in high performance computing and graphics applications. However, conventional DRAM devices such as DDR4 DIMM and GDDR5 cannot satisfy these needs since they are bandwidth limited to less than 30GB/s. Also, if multiple GDDR DRAMs are used simultaneously for higher bandwidth, then high power consumption and routing congestion on PCBs become a big concern. In order to overcome these limitations, the high bandwidth memory (HBM) DRAM was recently introduced[1] HBM DRAM uses TSV and interposer technologies enabling multiple chip stacks and wide I/Os between the processor and memory: providing high capacity, low power and high bandwidth. This paper proposes the 2nd generation HBM to double the bandwidth from 128GB/s to more than 256GB/s and support pseudo channel mode and 8H stacks  In the pseudo channel mode, a legacy channel is divided into two pseudo channels and the two pseudo channels share the command address pins. Thus, one HBM has 16 pseudo channels instead of 8 legacy channels. To support various stack configurations including 8H stacks, a new architecture is adopted for flexible density ranging from 16Gb to 64Gb maintaining the same bandwidth. Finally, the bandwidth increase requires an active thermal solution to manage hotspots that develop from highly concentrated power consumption; we propose an adaptive refresh considering temperature distribution (ART) scheme as a solution.
F actin waves, actin cortex disassembly and focal exocytosis driven by actin phosphoinositide positive feedback
Venue: Cytoskeleton

Actin polymerization is controlled by the phosphoinositide composition of the plasma membrane. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal regulation of actin network organization over extended length scales are still unclear. To observe phosphoinositide dependent cytoskeletal dynamics we combined the model system of frustrated phagocytosis, total internal reflection microscopy and manipulation of the buffer tonicity. We found that macrophages interacting with IgG coated glass substrates formed circular F actin waves on their ventral surface enclosing a region of plasma membrane devoid of cortical actin. Plasma membrane free of actin cortex was strongly depleted of PI(4,5)P2, but enriched in PI(3,4)P2 and displayed a fivefold increase in exocytosis. Wave formation could be promoted by application of a hypotonic shock. The actin waves were characteristic of a bistable wavefront at the boundary between the regions of membrane containing and lacking cortical actin. Phosphoinositide modifiers and RhoGTPase activities dramatically redistributed with respect to the wavefronts, which often exhibited spatial oscillations. Perturbation of either lipid or actin cytoskeleton related pathways led to rapid loss of both the polarized lipid distribution and the wavefront. As waves travelled over the plasma membrane, wavefront actin was seen to rapidly polymerize and depolymerize at pre existing clusters of FcgRIIA, coincident with rapid changes in lipid composition. Thus the potential of receptors to support rapid F actin polymerization appears to depend acutely on the local concentrations of multiple lipid species. We propose that interdependence through positive feedback from the cytoskeleton to lipid modifiers leads to coordinated local cortex remodeling, focal exocytosis, and organizes extended actin networks.
Occipito Frontal Sharp Waves An Under Recognized EEG Pattern in Self limited Idiopathic Childhood Focal Epilepsy.
Venue: Journal of clinical neurophysiology official publication of the American Electroencephalographic Society

We report four children who highlight the potentially under recognized EEG pattern of bilaterally synchronous occipito frontal sharp waves, which may occur in children with Panayiotopoulos type self limited childhood epilepsy but may be easily confused with the patterns of symptomatic generalized epilepsy. Our patients were young, healthy children who had infrequent, predominantly nocturnal, fairly prolonged seizures characterized by altered consciousness, vomiting, and autonomic features, or in one case nocturnal secondary generalized tonic clonic convulsion. Their EEGs showed stereotyped abundant sleep activated sharp waves with maximum negativity in bilateral occipital and frontal greater than centro temporo parietal regions. On a "double banana" bipolar montage, the sharp waves had upward deflections in frontal electrodes, downward deflections at occipital electrodes, and a positive phase reversal in the middle of each chain. The lower amplitude occipital discharges slightly preceded the frontal discharges, consistent with posterior to anterior propagation likely originating from mesial occipital regions. In the proper clinical context, recognizing the EEG pattern of bilateral occipito frontal sharp waves affords confidence in a favorable prognosis, presents the option to possibly defer daily treatment with antiepileptic medication, and shifts the emphasis to rescue medication for isolated seizures.
Single crystal structure determination and refinement of AgZrCu4 and Ag containing Cu10Zr7 by precession electron diffraction and tomography techniques

The Cu Zr Ag ternary system belongs to the Cu based bulk amorphisable alloy systems. The solidification of the amorphisable alloy is still not well understood. The identification and characterization of the crystal structure of the solidified phases are essential for describing the ternary system. A typical Cu rich solidified phase in the Cu Zr Ag ternary system is the so called m phase. The structure of this phase was not known before. Another typical phase is the Ag containing Cu 10 Zr 7 phase. We determined and refined the crystal structures of single crystals of these two phases by transmission electron microscopyusing precession electron diffraction technique and diffraction tomography (performed by ADT3D software) The determination and refinement procedure was achieved in SIR2008, SIR2011 and SHELXL software packages. In conclusion, precession electron diffraction technique combined with diffraction tomography makes it possible to determine the crystal structure of materials with sub micrometer sized crystals such as alloys when single crystal X ray diffraction based structure determination fails.
Novel three dimensional halloysite nanotubes/silica composite aerogels with enhanced mechanical strength and low thermal conductivity prepared at ambient pressure
Venue: Journal of Sol Gel Science and Technology

Novel three dimensional halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)/silica composite aerogels were fabricated to strengthen the nanostructure and overcome inherent fragility of silica aerogel by a sol gel method using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 1,4 Phenylene diisocyanate (PPDI) modified HNTs (p HNTs) as the main materials, followed by an environmentally friendly ambient pressure drying (APD) The modification and dispersion of HNTs were investigated by using FTIR, SEM, TEM. Meanwhile, the morphology, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of aerogels were also studied. The results showed that the p HNTs were uniformly dispersed in the silica aerogel. This resulted in composites with unique interpenetrating network microstructure that could give an enhanced mechanical properties to aerogels. The compressive strength was found to vary from 400 kPa to 1.45 MPa and thermal conductivity from 0.025 to 0.038 W/m K. In addition, randomly oriented p HNTs can obviously reduce both the linear shrinkage and density of composite aerogels. The composites with outstanding properties prepared by APD are potential for building applications.
Superhard W0.5Ta0.5B nanowires prepared at ambient pressure

The primary focus of superhard materials development has relied on chemical tuning of the crystal structure. While these intrinsic effects are invaluable, there is a strong possibility that hardness can be dramatically enhanced using extrinsic effects. Here, we demonstrate that the superhard metal W0.5Ta0.5B can be prepared as nanowires through flux growth. The aspect ratios of the nanowires are controlled by the concentration of boride in molten aluminum, and the nanowires grow along the boron boron chains, confirmed via electron diffraction. This morphology inherently results from the crystal habit of borides and can inspire the development of other nanostructured materials.
