ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, MACRO AND MICRO EMPOWERMENT DIMENSIONS, AND JOB SATISFACTION: AN APPLICATION OF CONCURRENT MIXED AND MULTI-LEVEL METHODS IN THE FEDERAL SECTOR Timothy L. Bailey, Ph.D. Touro University International 2009 This dissertation examined the interrelationship of organizational culture; macro (structural) and micro (psychological) empowerment; and job satisfaction. Specifically,...

Polymer crystallization in manufacturing is a process where quiescent crystallization and flow-induced crystallization coexists, and heat/mass transfer on a macroscopic level interacts with crystal morphology evolution on a microscopic level. Previous numerical studies on polymer crystallization are mostly concentrated at a single scale; they only calculate macroscale parameters, e.g., temperat...

objective: in patients with diabetes mellitus, increased rate of lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative stress have important role in diabetic angiopathy, including nephropathy. we designed a study for comparing the level of ox-ldl in diabetic patients with macro-albuminuria, micro-albuminuria, versus normo-albuminuric. materials and methods: one hundred and thirty five patients with type 2 diabet...

In this paper the kinematic and Jacobian analysis of a macro–micro parallel manipulator is studied in detail. The manipulator architecture is a simplified planar version adopted from the structure of the Large Adaptive Reflector (LAR), the Canadian design of the next generation of giant radio telescopes. This structure is composed of two parallel and redundantly actuated manipulators at the mac...

In this paper the dynamic analysis of a macro–micro parallel manipulator is studied in detail. The manipulator architecture is a simplified planar version adopted from the structure of the Large Adaptive Reflector (LAR), the Canadian design of next-generation giant radio telescopes. In this structure it is proposed to use two parallel redundant manipulators at the macro and micro level, both ac...

Among the aquatic weeds, water hyacinth is considered to be the most obnoxious of all aquatic weeds and occupies eighth rank in the world. Water hyacinth caused lot of problems to human beings and animals in many ways. The present study is therefore aimed to develop an appropriate technology for recovery of resources from aquatic weeds by pit methods of composting. Compost was prepared from aqu...

Ships have a difficult time sampling the time and space scales relevant for understanding how physics and chemistry regulate marine ecosystems (National Research Council 2000, 2003, Figure 3.1); therefore the biology in the oceans is chronically undersampled. This is a major problem for policy makers and local governments charged with managing coastal resources who are increasingly being asked ...

OBJECTIVE The present study aims to analyze the eating habits and attitudes of a group of soccer referees and linesmen. METHOD A nutritional study was undertaken of thirty-five soccer referees (aged between 18 and 50) refereeing at different levels, from the Spanish national third division down to the provincial second division. Through the use of a 3-day food diary and 24-hour recall, this s...
