This article empirically investigates the role of organizational structure in the transformational leadership (TFL) process. We examine organizational centralization, formalization, and size as antecedents of an organization's TFL climate, and as moderators of the relationship between TFL climate and productive organizational energy (POE). Hypotheses are tested using a sample of 125 organizatio...

Control of surface properties in microfluidic systems is an indispensable prerequisite for successful bioanalytical applications. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic devices are hampered from unwanted adsorption of biomolecules and lack of methods to control electroosmotic flow (EOF). In this paper, we propose different strategies to coat PDMS surfaces with poly(oxyethylene) (POE) molecu...

Hinton (in press) recently proposed a learning algorithm called contrastive divergence learning for a class of probabilistic models called product of experts (PoE). Whereas in standard mixture models the “beliefs” of individual experts are averaged, in PoEs the “beliefs” are multiplied together and then renormalized. One advantage of this approach is that the combined beliefs can be much sharpe...

The purpose of this article is to present a "Groupoid proof" the Lefschetz fixed point formula for elliptic complexes. We shall define "relative version" tangent groupoid, describe corresponding pseudodifferential calculi and explain relation with formula.

in this paper we study the existence of commuting regular elements, verifying the notion left (right) commuting regular elements and its properties in the groupoid g(n) . also we show that g(n) contains commuting regular subsemigroup and give a necessary and sucient condition for the groupoid g(n) to be commuting regular.

Part two of this essay looks more closely at the fictionality of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Purloined Letter,” and argues for the importance of the possession of the letter in the story. This importance is delineated by examining the context in which “The Purloined Letter” was composed; in particular, and taking its cues from Kevin J. Hayes’ remarkable Poe and the printed word (2000), ...

There is growing need to develop formal verification tools for Message Passing Interface (MPI) programs to eliminate bugs such as deadlocks and local assertion violations. Of all approaches, dynamic verification is most practical for MPI. Since the number of interleavings of concurrent programs grow exponentially, we devise a dynamic interleaving reduction algorithm (dynamic partial order reduc...

Motivated by Harper Hamiltonians on skeletal graphs and their C∗–geometry, we study a certain class of graph Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians can be thought of as a finite groupoid representation in separable Hilbert spaces. Here the groupoid is the path groupoid of a finite graph. Given such a setup, we consider the possible matrix versions of the Hamiltonian, which are indexed by the choice o...

In the framework of C-algebraic deformation quantization we propose a notion of deformation groupoid which could apply to known examples e.g. Connes’ tangent groupoid of a manifold, its generalisation by Landsman and Ramazan, Rieffel’s noncommutative torus, and even Landi’s noncommutative 4-sphere. We construct such groupoid for a wide class of T-spaces, that generalizes the one given for C by ...
