Efficient Work

The efficient work of the employees is important for the adaptation of the business to the rapidly changing environmental conditions. Businesses should identify the factors that affect employee productivity and emerging threats because the efficient level of performance and the measurability of this output lead to rational use of the resources. Employees who do not fulfill their duties and responsibilities in the organization and take a share from the group product may lead to deviations in reaching the targets set by the organization. Justice in the organization, trust, the deterioration in the values may adversely affect the process. The existence of such employees is the indicator of parasitic relations in organizations. In literature, the number of applied studies is limited. The strength of the study is to provide a detailed evaluation and measurement tool in the subject of parasitism in organizations. The scale of parasitism was developed with self-directed and community-directed dimensions consisting of 20 statements and was validated by EFA, CFA, and reliability analysis.

Pendulum Clock

This volume centres on a clock, known as Clock B, built in the mid-1970s that achieved considerable acclaim after an extraordinary performance in a 2015 peer-reviewed public trial at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The clock was built according to an understanding of John Harrison’s unique theoretical approach to making precision pendulum clocks, which defies the standard approaches to making accurate clocks. The clock represents the culmination of over forty years of collaborative research into Harrison’s writing on the subject, which is scattered across a number of manuscripts and a book, printed shortly before his death. Ostensibly, Harrison set out to describe how to make his precision pendulum clock, but it is a mixture of his peripheral interests. Horological information is almost completely lost among vitriolic sentiments relating to his experiences with the Board of Longitude. However, as one reviewer surmised: ‘we are sorry to say that the public will be disappointed’ and another concluded that ‘it can only be excused by superannuated dotage’. The chapters provides contextual history and documentation of the analysis and decoding of the cryptic written descriptions. It presents this in parallel to the modern horological story of making, finishing, and adjusting Clock B; the process of testing, using electronic equipment to monitor the its performance and reaction to changes in environmental conditions, and, indeed, the mechanics behind the various compensating features of the design.

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless communication network. Because of the dynamic and infrastructureless characteristics, MANET is vulnerable in reliability. This paper presents a novel reliability analysis for MANET. The node mobility effect and the node reliability based on a real MANET platform are modeled and analyzed. An effective Monte Carlo method for reliability analysis is proposed. A detailed evaluation is performed in terms of the experiment results.

The article introduces a short outline of the concept of a scientific approach to the subject of search and rescue. Next, the model presents the mapping of selected assets with an indication of the assets essential for the rescue operation's configuration critical to the system. The crucial elements of the rescue operation that must be included in the model are: determining the location of the sought entity, environmental conditions during the rescue operation, survival conditions at the crash site, available assets (e.g. helicopters, described in the system model), the structure of the necessary commands to manage a rescue operation.

Making use of theoretical approximations for the computation of the wave-induced slow-drift forces is a common procedure in the early stages of design of a new floating unit. They can help reducing the computational burden in two different fronts: for generating the QTFs in a frequency domain analysis, and during the subsequent execution of time-domain simulations. In a previous paper, we have discussed a simple procedure for making use of the white-noise approximation in FAST, without the need for any modification of the software. The proposal only requires restricting the computation of the QTFs to pairs of frequencies that are indeed essential to the slow-drift dynamics. For this, however, an additional assumption is made, considering that each motion is decoupled from those in the other dofs. In the present paper, a more detailed analysis of the subject is made, in order to clarify the theoretical aspects of the procedure and supplement the previous analysis. Once again, the results are based on the data available for the OC4 FOWT. The accuracy obtained with the procedure is discussed not only in terms of the resulting motions, but also comparing its effects on the second-order force spectra. A more detailed evaluation of the dynamic couplings is presented, and comparisons with the results obtained with Newman’s approximation are made in simulations involving waves only.

Abstract Calophyllum brasiliense is a species native to Brazil and has potential for use in the timber industry, in the reforestation of degraded areas, besides having medicinal properties. Its propagation is mainly by seeds which, depending on their recalcitrant characteristics, leads to difficulty in conservation, due to changes in its physiological potential during storage. Aiming to contribute to the expansion of its cultivation, rational use and conservation, the objective of this study was to investigate the behavior of C. brasiliense seeds during storage. Different packings (paper, aluminum and polyethylene) and environmental conditions (room temperature and cold chamber) were quarterly tested over 12 months, by evaluating germination viability and vigor. Based on the results, it was concluded that packaging in polyethylene and freezer storage provided the best conditions for the conservation of seeds, keeping them viable for a period of nine months.

Abstract Environmental contours are applied in probabilistic structural reliability analysis to identify extreme environmental conditions that may give rise to extreme loads and responses. Typically, they are constructed to correspond to a certain return period and a probability of exceedance with regards to the environmental conditions that can again be related to the probability of failure of a structure. Thus, they describe events with a certain probability of being exceeded one or more times during a certain time period, which can be found from a certain percentile of the underlying distribution. In this paper, various ways of adjusting such environmental contours to account for the expected number of exceedances within a certain time period are discussed. Depending on how such criteria are defined, one may get more lenient or more stringent criteria compared to the classical return period.

Among the many requirements posed today for the education system, the question of teacher competence deserves special attention. Previous explorations have demonstrated the unquestionable excellence of professional competences over formal qualifications, including in other professions. Psychological competences, increasingly appreciated by psychologists, are still searching for their place in pedagogy and other scientific disciplines. When I examined the social competence profiles of a particular group of teachers of academic military universities, I decided to show a new perspective on education in the army. I presented the subject matter with the help of a standardized measurement tool on the example of The War Studies University in Warsaw.
