The influence of common methods variance (CMV) has been a pervasively cited concern in organizational research (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003). As outgoing editor of Journal of Applied Psychology, John Campbell explicitly cited exclusive use of self report measures as an indication that a study contributes little to the literature (Campbell, 1982). Additionally, reviewers continu...

Like other constituents of ecosystems, insects are exposed to the action of many man-made chemicals, some of which accumulate in live and inanimate parts of the environment. Insects constitute an important group of organisms, because of the diversity of their morphology and physiology, their abundance, economic importance, and numerous effects on human health. Insects seem to display the greate...

Instruments currently being used to assess cognitive dysfunction do not grant us the granularity to pinpoint the specific cognitive impairments associated with various disorders. With the advent of sophisticated neuroimaging methods and lesion data, we are in a better position to understand the component processes of the various psychological functions. Here we describe 2 such functions and elu...

"Personality has different meanings for theologians, philosophers and sociologists, and in psychology it has been used in many ways" wroteGW Allport some 50 years ago.' Writing today, he might well have included epidemiologists amongst those challenged to develop their own approach to the problem of personality. Popularly, personality is understood largely in terms of traits or types using cate...

Semantically unpredictable (SU) sentences are often used to assess intelligibility of TTS systems, but analyses of listener responses to SU sentences can be a labor-intensive process. In this paper we compare several approaches to the analysis of data from an SUS task. Data from a study comparing five TTS systems were analyzed in a variety of ways ranging from string edit measures based on care...

Equipment specifications tend to quote highest achievable performance; but this specification does not tell the whole story of machine behaviour. In the case of shovels, many criteria are used for selecting new equipment, generally related to capital and operating cost, capacity, digging forces, reach, loading rate, and propel rate. Some are competing objectives, such as high loading capacity a...

Phytases are nutritionally important for increased bioavailability of dietary minerals and phosphate for monogastric animals including humans. Release of minerals and phosphate is accomplished by the enzymatic stepwise degradation of phytate (inositol hexaphosphate, IP6). Activity determinations of phytase is often based on analysis of total released phosphate (Pi), but phytase activity in its ...
