Handling Editor: Stephanie Castro In this study, we develop and examine a model of leaders' impression management during organizational decline by elaborating on the roles of publicity, image concerns, and incentive compensation. We propose that the publicity of decline is an important antecedent of leaders' impression management during decline. We also examine how leaders' image concerns media...

Abstract The article deals with the physical and mechanical aspects of transportation raw cotton in a pneumatic transport system. During collides working surfaces outlets pipelines front body separator at various angles. A theoretical analysis influence angle impact on degree damage to system was performed. Based constructed model interaction use an experimental setup increase speed cotton, see...

Seeds are in a natural oxidative context leading to protein oxidation. Although inevitable for proper progression from maturation to germination, protein oxidation at high levels is detrimental and associated with seed aging. Oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide is a common form of damage observed during aging in all organisms. This damage is reversible through the action of methioni...

Abstract: The occurrence of damage and empty space inside the seed can directly affect germination. aim this study was to evaluate relationship between or cowpea seeds physiological potential. In study, seven lots cultivar ‘BRS Guariba’ were subjected X-ray test identify by tissue deterioration, mechanical damage, insects malformed and, later, germination test. percentage embryonic area coat de...

one of the most important oilseed plants in iran is rapeseed. seed quality is affected by deterioration and aging during storage. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the roles of various chemicals on the recovery of germination characteristics in deteriorated seeds of rapeseed. in this study, one commercial brassica napus cultivar (okapi) was used. this experiment had two parts. in the fi...

Aging is associated with decline in a multitude of cognitive processes and brain functions. However, a growing body of literature suggests that agerelated decline in cognition can sometimes be reduced through experience, cognitive training, and other interventions such as fitness training. Research on cognitive training and expertise has suggested that age-related cognitive sparing is often qui...

BACKGROUND Aging may cause various functional abilities gradually deteriorate. With changes in social forms, the trend of functional fitness decline will change accordingly. Therefore, this study endeavored to identify the trends in functional fitness decline by comparing the differences in the functional fitness of females in various age groups. METHODS Thirty six healthy females were divide...

How do subsistence communities conceptualize their seed sovereignty? What peasants perceive to be the principal threats sovereignty and how they respond these threats?; local initiatives relate broader ideologies, goals, strategies of global movement? Local conceptions seeds as a commons are contributing multidimensional decommodification project peasant agriculture indigenous autonomy. I analy...

Though cryogenic storage is presumed to provide nearly infinite longevity to cells, the actual shelf life achieved under ultra-cold temperatures has not been addressed theoretically or empirically. Here, we report measurable changes in germination of dried seeds stored under liquid nitrogen conditions for >10 years. There was considerable variability in the extent of deterioration among species...
