Tie Formation and Cohesiveness in a Loosely Organized Group: Knitting Together

Kai Simons: tying things loosely together

His wife Carola, a dentist, his sister Majlen, his brother-in-law, cell biologist Ari Helenius, and he lived in the same house, not only sharing the babysitter for their five children but also taking turns to go home from work at four o’clock to play with the children. In experim...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Unearthed: The Other Side of Group Cohesiveness

One of the most consistently studied constructs in group dynamics research is Cohesiveness. It is a fact, that there is a tendency to see the effects of group cohesiveness as being largely positive. The periodic review of cohesiveness–performance relation had been positive. However, not much attention has been devoted to the fact that group cohesiveness can be detrimental to the group performan...
