At this point it may be useful to hypothesize how a typical North American IT organization might evolve in psychological awareness/emotional intelligence. Such a vision may be useful in showing IT managers, in encapsulated form, what may indeed be possible. In 1974, Richard Nolan identified six stages of data processing growth within an organization: initiation, contagion, control, integration, data administration, and maturity. Here, a similar attempt is made to identify and describe growth stages in enhanced emotional intelligence within an IT organization.

Environmental approvals take time, and scheduling and planning for their preparation and submission should be high on the list of priorities when planning a project. Understanding the regulatory process and knowing what level of information is required at each stage is critical. Providing quality environmental support to the oil and gas industry requires not only an understanding of the range of petroleum activities and their potential impacts and risks, but extensive knowledge of environmental receptors in each operational area, an understanding of complex technical methods for impact and risk quantification and a solid understanding of relevant regulations with an ability to navigate complex approval processes. A common environmental competency framework could support the industry to: • identify gaps in skills and knowledge for individuals, teams or across industry sectors • develop people across the broad range of skills they require • recruit the right people into the right positions for more effective teams • engage environmental professionals to encourage longevity in their careers • develop learning and development solutions including mentoring and coaching opportunities that will have increased relevance to the industry. Green Light Environmental have developed an internal environmental competency framework as a means of assessing and documenting competency for staff and contractors working under the Green Light Environmental brand. The framework consists of a series of competency standards that reflect the core responsibilities for environmental consultant resources during planning, construction, operation and decommissioning of petroleum activities. Each standard clearly identifies the knowledge and experience required to achieve competence and is supported by assessment tools. The adoption of a shared competency framework would further support the shared desire across industry, regulator and stakeholders to increase collaboration and transparency in environmental approval processes and documentation.

Unpredictable transaction requirements of IT business lead to miss design the right size of data center. Over design data center contributed to surplus capital investment and lifetime operations. Legacy data centers designed before the 2nd millenniums over design capacity more than 60% of actual load. The research objectives are created a model transformation approach from legacy data center to mobile and modular data center M2DC and proposed multivariate optimization for the right sizing of data center as business needs by using case study. The research method is investigation and assessment through 21 sample data centers and in-depth interviews with IT managers (32) and data center consultants (8). The fact findings have shown the standardized modular of M2DC force requirements to fit in the building boxes and expansion as needs.

Cloud computing is one contemporary technology in which the research community has recently embarked. This paradigm shifts the location of the infrastructure to the network to reduce the costs associated with the management of hardware and software resources. Developers with innovative ideas for new Internet services no longer require the large capital outlays in hardware to deploy their service or the human expense to operate it. Organization adopts cloud computing services through service provider via Internet. In recent years, numbers of cloud service providers are increase.  However, there is no study that focuses on search engine and web portal for cloud computing for users who want to find cloud service. At the same time, “vendor lock in” issues and the lack of common cloud standards delayed the interoperability across these providers. Thus, lead the cloud customer to face challenges and problems in selecting the right service provider who meets their needs. This research focus on meeting the user requeriment in cloud environment whereby, user requirements reflect to search query that entered by the end users and how these search queries are exactly matched with accurate cloud service. Therefore, end of the research cloud service search engine was developed as a proposed tool for meeting the user requirements.

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.

What face familiarity feelings say about the lateralization of specific entities within the core system

Abstract The target article carefully describes the memory system, centered on the temporal lobe that builds specific memory traces. It does not, however, mention the laterality effects that exist within this system. This commentary briefly surveys evidence showing that clear asymmetries exist within the temporal lobe structures subserving the core system and that the right temporal structures mainly underpin face familiarity feelings.

It is well known that for reflections corresponding to large interplanar spacings (i.e., sin θ/λ small), the electron scattering amplitude, f, is sensitive to the ionicity and to the charge distribution around the atoms. We have used this in order to obtain information about the charge distribution in FeTi, which is a candidate for storage of hydrogen. Our goal is to study the changes in electron distribution in the presence of hydrogen, and also the ionicity of hydrogen in metals, but so far our study has been limited to pure FeTi. FeTi has the CsCl structure and thus Fe and Ti scatter with a phase difference of π into the 100-ref lections. Because Fe (Z = 26) is higher in the periodic system than Ti (Z = 22), an immediate “guess” would be that Fe has a larger scattering amplitude than Ti. However, relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations show that the opposite is the case for the 100-reflection. An explanation for this may be sought in the stronger localization of the d-electrons of the first row transition elements when moving to the right in the periodic table. The tabulated difference between fTi (100) and ffe (100) is small, however, and based on the values of the scattering amplitude for isolated atoms, the kinematical intensity of the 100-reflection is only 5.10-4 of the intensity of the 200-reflection.

A redesigned specimen holder and cap have made possible the freeze-etching of both fracture surfaces of a frozen fractured specimen. In principal, the procedure involves freezing a specimen between two specimen holders (as shown in A, Fig. 1, and the left side of Fig. 2). The aluminum specimen holders and brass cap are constructed so that the upper specimen holder can be forced loose, turned over, and pressed down firmly against the specimen stage to a position represented by B, Fig. 1, and the right side of Fig. 2.

Pituitary Carcinomas

The production of adrenocorticotropic hormone by non-pituitary carcinomas has been documented in several tumors, most frequently small cell carcinoma of the lung, islet cell carcinomas of the pancreas, thymomas and carcinoids. Electron microscopy of these tumors reveals typical membrane-limited "neurosecretory" granules. Confirmation of the granules as adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) requires the use of OsO4 as a primary fixative to give the characteristic cored granule appearance in conjunction with immunohistochemical demonstration of the hormone peptide. Because of the rarity of ectopic ACTH production by mammary carcinomas and the absence of appropriate ultrastructural studies in the two examples of such ectopic hormone production in the literature of which we are aware (1,2), we present biochemical and ultrastructural data from a carcinoma of the breast with apparent ACTH production.The patient had her primary tumor in the right breast in 1969. The tumor recurred as visceral and subcutaneous metastases in 1976 and again in 1977.
