Purpose Drawing on the literature victim precipitation theory, workplace ostracism (WO) and paranoia, this paper examines mediating role of WO paranoia–service performance (SP) relationship. This further postulates that team cognitive diversity (TCD) moderates paranoia–WO Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 228 nurses a leading hospital located in an eastern province China. Hyp...

A new concept of nanoporous metal organic framework particles stabilising emulsions was investigated. The copper benzenetricarboxylate MOF particles adsorbed at the oil/water interface play an exceptional role in stabilising both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions.

In the study, a MEMS-based benzene gas sensor is presented, consisting of a quartz substrate, a thin-film WO(3) sensing layer, an integrated Pt micro-heater, and Pt interdigitated electrodes (IDEs). When benzene is present in the atmosphere, oxidation occurs on the heated WO(3) sensing layer. This causes a change in the electrical conductivity of the WO(3) film, and hence changes the resistance...

High-frequency spectroscopy has been applied to monitoring the stability of oil-in-water emulsions. It was found that stable emulsions showed absorption peaks at around 550 MHz; further, they shifted from lower to higher frequencies with time. The rate of increase of the frequencies was dependent on the amount of emulsifier added. These results show that the stability of emulsions can be monito...

Let D be a domain in the complex in-plane and let as: D —• R be a regular minimal surface. Let M(K) be the set of points tu 0. The components of M(K) are of three types: isolated points; simple analytic arcs terminating nowhere in D; analytic Jordan curves in D. Components of the third type are r...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the torsion and bending properties of OneShape (OS; Micro Mega, Besançon, France) and WaveOne (WO; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) single-file systems. METHODS The torsional strength of OS size #25, 0.06 taper and WO primary size #25, 0.08 taper was measured by using a torsiometer after fixing the apical 5 mm of the instrument...

Catalytic and spectroscopic properties of alcohol dehydrogenase from horse liver, incorporated in reversed micellar media, have been studied. Two different reversed micellar systems have been used, one containing an anionic [sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate, AOT], the other containing a cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) surfactant. With 1-hexanol as substrate the turnover nu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of sitting posture on lung capacity and expiratory flow (LC-EF) and lumbar lordosis. DESIGN Repeated measures on 1 group of subjects in 4 postures. SETTING Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Seventy able-bodied volunteers. INTERVENTIONS Postures were assumed randomly: normal, with full ischial support and flat lumbar support; slumped, with the pelvis positioned...

This article presents a one-step method for generating complex emulsions that exploits the phase separation of the emulsion droplet generated in the microchannel. This approach easily produces double, triple, quadruple, and Janus emulsions with monodisperse size. These emulsions can be used as useful templates for the synthesis of new functional materials, such as microcapsules, hemispheres, Ja...
