Building on conservation of resources theory, we cast resource depletion as a novel explanatory mechanism to explain why employees' experience of psychological contract violation results in harm to third parties outside the employee-organization exchange dyad. This resource-based perspective extends and complements the dominant social exchange perspective which views employee reactions to psych...

We study contributions of supersymmetric CP phases to the CP violation ε/ε in models with asymmetric A-matrices. We consider asymmetric Amatrices, which are obtained from string-inspired supergravity. We show that a certain type of asymmetry of A-matrices enhances supersymmetric contributions to the CP violation ε/ε and the supersymmetric contribution to ε/ε can be of order of the KTeV result, ...

The possibility of a non-zero value for neutron EDM continues to be of central importance in physics and cosmology. A non-zero neutron EDM would be a direct evidence for time-reversal symmetry violation. It also implies CP-violation under the assumption of CPT invariance. To date, only two examples of CP-violation have been found: decays of neutral K mesons and B mesons. CP-violation is believe...

Percutaneous and open pedicle screw placements have been widely used in lumbar fusion surgery. However, there are conflicting reports of cranial facet joint violation rate for the 2 techniques. To better determine the rate of cranial facet joint violation, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed in the present study. We searched the established electronic literature databases includ...

The present study investigated the role of proficiency in late second-language (L2) processing using comparable stimuli in German and Italian. Both sets of stimuli consisted of simple active sentences including a word category violation, a morphosyntactic agreement violation, or a combination of the two. Four experiments were conducted to study high- and low-proficiency L2 learners of German as...

The magnitude of R-parity violating coupling constants depends on which direction in the space of weak doublets with hypercharge = −2 corresponds to the Higgs. To address this “basis dependence”, one can construct combinations of coupling constants that are invariant under these basis transformations, and which parametrise how much R parity violation is present in the Lagrangian (analogous to J...

There is broad consensus that features such as causality, mental states, and preventability are key inputs to moral judgments of blame. What is not clear is exactly how people process these inputs to arrive at such judgments. Three studies provide evidence that early judgments of whether or not a norm violation is intentional direct information processing along 1 of 2 tracks: if the violation i...

This experiment was carried out to determine whether reading diatonic violations in a musical score elicits similar endogenous ERP components when hearing such violations in the auditory modality. In the behavioral study, musicians were visually presented with 120 scores of familiar musical pieces, half of which contained a diatonic violation. The score was presented in a measure-by-measure man...

The origin of CP violation is one of the fundamental questions of particle physics. Currently, we know of only two distinct examples of CP violation: the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe and CP violation in the neutral kaon system. Although there are several manifestations of CP violation in the neutral kaon system, all of them (with the possible exception of the measurements of = wh...

Research in language processing has established that semantic information can influence (a) online sentence interpretation when syntactic cues are indeterminate, and (b) offline judgments of syntactically unambiguous but semantically anomalous sentences. The question of whether semantic information can influence online sentence interpretation when semantic cues oppose unambiguous syntax remains...
