Having the Cake and Eating It Too: First-Order, Second-Order and Bifactor Representations of Work Engagement

Author(s): Salamon J; Tóth-Király I; Bõthe B; Nagy T; Orosz G;

Even though work engagement is a popular construct in organizational psychology, the question remains whether it is experienced as a global construct, or as its three components (vigor, dedication, absorption). The present study thus contributes to the ongoing scientific debate about the dimensionality of work engagement systematically compared one-factor ...

Removal of SARS-CoV-2 using UV+Filter in built environment: simulation/evaluation by utilizing validated numerical method

Author(s): Feng Z; Cao SJ; Haghighat F;

Air cleaning is an effective and reliable method in indoor airborne SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona-Virus 2) control, with ability of aerosol removal or disinfection. However, traditional air cleaning systems (e.g. fibrous filter, electrostatic removal system) have some risks in operation process, including re-aerosolization and elect ...

Expanding the limits towards 'one-pot' DNA assembly and transformation on a rapid-prototype microfluidic device

Author(s): Perry JM; Soffer G; Jain R; Shih SCC;

DNA assembly and transformation are crucial to the building process in synthetic biology. These steps are significant roadblocks when engineering increasingly complex biological systems. To address this, recent development of widespread 'biofoundry' facilities has employed automation equipment to expedite the synthetic biology workflow. Despite si ...

Defensive Traits during White Spruce (Picea glauca) Leaf Ontogeny

Author(s): Antoine-Olivier Lirette

Changes during leaf ontogeny affect palatability to herbivores, such that many insects, including the eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)), are specialist feeders on growing conifer leaves and buds. Developmental constraints imply lower toughness in developing foliage, and optimal defense theory predicts higher investment in chemical ...

Lumbar Multifidus Muscle Morphology Changes in Patient with Different Degrees of Lumbar Disc Herniation: An Ultrasonographic Study

Author(s): Naghdi N; Mohseni-Bandpei MA; Taghipour M; Rahmani N;

Background and Objective: Previous studies demonstrated that the prevalence of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is relatively high. This investigation aimed to evaluate the size of lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle in patients with different degrees of LDH compared to healthy group, during rest and contraction, using ultrasonography. Materials and Methods: In thi ...

On Left Ventricle Stroke Work Efficiency in Children with Moderate Aortic Valve Regurgitation or Moderate Aortic Valve Stenosis

Author(s): Asaadi M; Mawad W; Djebbari A; Keshavardz-Motamed Z; Dahdah N; Kadem L;

The optimal timing for management of pediatric patients with moderate aortic valve disease [moderate aortic stenosis (modAS) or moderate aortic regurgitation (modAR)] remains unknown and largely unexplored. Although usually asymptomatic, the risk of increased left ventricular (LV) wall stress, irreversible myocardial fibrosis and sudden death in untreated ...

Differential patterns of diversity at neutral and adaptive loci in endangered Rhodeus pseudosericeus populations

Author(s): Won H; Jeon HB; Kim DY; Suk HY;

Given the fact that threatened species are often composed of isolated small populations, spatial continuity or demography of the populations may be major factors that have shaped the species' genetic diversity. Thus, neutral loci have been the most commonly-used markers in conservation genetics. However, the populations under the influence of differen ...

Sharp U-Net: Depthwise convolutional network for biomedical image segmentation

Author(s): Zunair H; Ben Hamza A;

The U-Net architecture, built upon the fully convolutional network, has proven to be effective in biomedical image segmentation. However, U-Net applies skip connections to merge semantically different low- and high-level convolutional features, resulting in not only blurred feature maps, but also over- and under-segmented target regions. To address these ...

Exploring the use of alginate hydrogel coating as a new initiative for emergent shoreline oiling prevention

Author(s): Bi H; An C; Mulligan CN; Wang Z; Zhang B; Lee K;

Marine oil spills are often reported as a result of activities associated with oil exploration, production and transportation. The spilled oil may reach the shoreline, and then the stranded oil can persist for a long time, exerting many negative effects on coastal ecosystems. Conventional shoreline cleanup methods cannot effectively remove the oil residue ...

Environmental and anthropogenic effects on the nesting patterns of Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees in North-West Cameroon

Author(s): Fotang C; Bröring U; Roos C; Enoguanbhor EC; Dutton P; Tédonzong LRD; Willie J; Yuh YG; Birkhofer K;

Environmental conditions and human activity influence the selection of nest sites by chimpanzees and may have serious conservation implications. We examined the characteristics of nesting trees preferred by chimpanzees, investigated the effect of vegetation composition and topography on nest site ...

Can you mend a broken heart? Awakening conventional metaphors in the maze

Author(s): Pissani L; de Almeida RG;

Conventional metaphors such as broken heart are interpreted rather fast and efficiently. This is because they might be stored as lexicalized, noncompositional expressions. If so, they require sense retrieval rather than sense creation. But can their literal meanings be recovered or "awakened"? We examined whether the literal meaning of a conventional meta ...
