AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether a tethered-swimming incremental test comprising small increases in resistive force applied every 60 seconds could delineate the isocapnic region during rapidly-incremented exercise. Sixteen competitive swimmers (male, n = 11; female, n = 5) performed: (a) a test to determine highest force during 30 seconds of all-out tethered swimming (Favg) and the ΔF, which represented the difference between Favg and the force required to maintain body alignment (Fbase), and (b) an incremental test beginning with 60 seconds of tethered swimming against a load that exceeded Fbase by 30% of ΔF followed by increments of 5% of ΔF every 60 seconds. This incremental test was continued until the limit of tolerance with pulmonary gas exchange (rates of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production) and ventilatory (rate of minute ventilation) data collected breath by breath. These data were subsequently analyzed to determine whether two breakpoints defining the isocapnic region (i.e., gas exchange threshold and respiratory compensation point) were present. We also determined the peak rate of O2 uptake and exercise economy during the incremental test. The gas exchange threshold and respiratory compensation point were observed for each test such that the associated metabolic rates, which bound the heavy-intensity domain during constant-work-rate exercise, could be determined. Significant correlations (Spearman’s) were observed for exercise economy along with (a) peak rate of oxygen uptake (ρ = .562; p < 0.025), and (b) metabolic rate at gas exchange threshold (ρ = −.759; p < 0.005). A rapidly-incremented tethered-swimming test allows for determination of the metabolic rates that define zones for domain-specific constant-work-rate training.

Aggregation means the organization of elements of a system into patterns that tend to put highly compatible elements together and less compatible elements apart. Landscape theory Predicts how aggregation will lead to alignments among actors (such as nations), whose leaders are myopic in their assessments and incremental in their actions. The predicted configurations are based upon the attempts of actors to minimize their frustration based upon their pairwise Propensities to align with some actors and oppose others. These attempts lead to a local minimum in the energy landscape of the entire system. The theory is supported by the results of two cases: the alignment of seventeen European nations in the Second World War and membership in competing alliances of nine computer companies to set standards for Unix computer operating systems. The theory has potential for application to coalitions of political Parties in parliaments, social networks, social cleavages in democracies and organizational structures.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test whether supportive workspace design, cultivation of high-quality leader–member relationships and vision alignment explain incremental variance in job satisfaction, work engagement and overall life satisfaction beyond antecedents identified in an earlier model of healthy workplace practices. Design/methodology/approach This paper reports the results of a survey study with a diverse sample of 214 employees. Findings In a series of regression analyses, the findings revealed that supportive workspace design, cultivation of high-quality leader–member relationships and vision alignment each explain incremental variance in one or more outcome variables (job satisfaction, work engagement and overall life satisfaction) beyond that of antecedents identified in an earlier model of healthy workplace practices. Research limitations/implications The present study identifies additional important variables to consider when conducting future research on healthy workplace practices. Future research could use longitudinal or experimental designs to further investigate the causal direction of the relationships identified in the present paper. Practical implications Managers can implement the practices identified in this paper to improve employees’ work engagement, job satisfaction and overall life satisfaction. Social implications This paper offers insights about how to improve employees’ lives, and thus, the potential impact is far-reaching and meaningful. Originality/value This paper empirically assesses workplace variables that were not included in tests of the prior healthy workplace practices model.

International protests against global capitalism have focused scholars' attention on the highly visible activities of transnational activists and advocates; but the tough, incremental, and deeply embedded work of grassroots social movements has too often been sublimated under the slogan: "Think globally; act locally!" Are transnational activists isolated from domestic social movements, extensions of domestic contention, or bridges between the local and the global? Three problems in particular will be examined: First, the difficulty of establishing durable transnational coalitions; Second, the problem of bridging the gap between movement protesters and NGO advocates; and, third, that of escaping movement structuration by national cleavages, alignments, and opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
A PMSM drive with an incremental encoder or using sensorless control requires alignment to a predetermined rotor position (initial position) or initial rotor position detection at start-up. It is desired to lock the rotor to a known state (usually zero angle) at start-up if the initial rotor position detection is not available or difficult to obtain. In this work, a simple and proper zero angle initial rotor position alignment of four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverter-based PMSM drive is proposed. Low-frequency voltage signal is applied to the d-axis voltage reference of the open-loop FSTPI based PMSM drive scheme without requiring complex trigonometric calculations, PI current regulators and current sensing. Therefore, fluctuated capacitor voltages at the DC-link are obtained allowing current flown through phase a locking the rotor with zero angle, properly. The proposed method has been implemented using a low-cost FSTP voltage source inverter (VSI) for PMSM drive with a floating-point TMS320F28335 DSP. The effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed zero angle initial rotor position alignment method for PMSM driven by FSTP inverter have been demonstrated through experimental results.

In large technology-based firms, especially in long life cycle industries, often a tension exists between corporate R&D and the business unit (BU) customers. The long term R&D orientation needed to come to the more radical (even disruptive) innovations for the long term survival of the prospector firm being at odds with the need of the BUs for more incremental "sustaining" innovations for their day-to-day activities. This paper takes a new approach to this problem by analyzing the corporate R&D to business relationship from a customer value perspective by identifying R&D flexibility, R&D communication, strategic alignment and R&D performance as the main attributes of the value map of the BU customers of corporate R&D. We then present the Cusvalin instrument (Customer Value Learning in INnovation) that was constructed to overcome the R&D to business incongruence by providing feedback on the gaps between the value maps of R&D and their BU customers. This instrument has been tested in a longitudinal survey from 1997 through 2002 (696 respondents) in a large technology-based supplier company (±30 000 employees world wide). It is concluded that the Cusvalin model is an effective instrument to monitor the strategic alignment of R&D and the BUs, and ultimately leads to better R&D performance, as perceived by the BU customers. From the longitudinal analysis it is concluded that a system that balances radical innovation (via Technology Board-funding, in which R&D management, headquarters, and BU directors jointly decide on long-term radical R&D projects) and incremental innovation (via BU unit-funding) is effective in providing strategic alignment between R&D and business.

Full textAbstract:
The discovery of common RNA secondary structure motifs is an important problem in bioinformatics. The presence of such motifs is usually associated with key biological functions. However, the identification of structural motifs is far from easy. Unlike motifs in sequences, which have conserved bases, structural motifs have common structure arrangements even if the underlying sequences are different. Over the past few years, hundreds of algorithms have been published for the discovery of sequential motifs, while less work has been done for the structural motifs case. Current structural motif discovery algorithms are limited in terms of accuracy and scalability. In this paper, we present an incremental and scalable algorithm for discovering RNA secondary structure motifs, namely IncMD. We consider the structural motif discovery as a frequent pattern mining problem and tackle it using a modified a priori algorithm. IncMD uses data structures, trie-based linked lists of prefixes (LLP), to accelerate the search and retrieval of patterns, support counting, and candidate generation. We modify the candidate generation step in order to adapt it to the RNA secondary structure representation. IncMD constructs the frequent patterns incrementally from RNA secondary structure basic elements, using nesting and joining operations. The notion of a motif group is introduced in order to simulate an alignment of motifs that only differ in the number of unpaired bases. In addition, we use a cluster beam approach to select motifs that will survive to the next iterations of the search. Results indicate that IncMD can perform better than some of the available structural motif discovery algorithms in terms of sensitivity (Sn), positive predictive value (PPV), and specificity (Sp). The empirical results also show that the algorithm is scalable and runs faster than all of the compared algorithms.

Full textAbstract:
The measurement of residual stress using the incremental hole drilling is well established, but the main limitations with the conventional strain gauge approach are the requirements for surface preparation, the need for accurate alignment and drilling, the restricted range of hole geometries commensurate with the specific gauge designs, and the limited range of strain data averaged over the footprint of the strain gauge grid. Recent attempts to extend the method have seen the application of full field optical techniques such as electronic speckle pattern interferometry and holographic interferometry for measuring the strain fields around the hole, but these methods are sensitive to vibration and this limits their practical use to controlled laboratory environments. There are significant potential benefits therefore of using a more robust technique based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and work is presented in this study on the development of the method for measuring surface displacements and strain fields generated during incremental hole drilling. Some of the practical issues associated with the technique development, including the optimization of applied patterns, the development of the optical system and integration with current hole drilling equipment are discussed, and although measurements are only presented for a single load case - the equi-biaxial stress state introduced during shot peening - the novel aspect of this work is the integration of DIC measurements with incremental drilling and an application of the Integral Method analysis to measure the variation of residual stress with depth. Validation data comparing results from conventional strain gauge data and FE models is also presented.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This article explains how design thinking and practices can identify unexplored opportunities for strategic growth. Increasingly practitioners are learning about powerful ways they can work together, with design mindsets and practices improving the strategy development process in multiple ways. Design/methodology/approach By integrating design practices into strategy development, practitioners can produce both incremental improvement in the performance of today’s business model and open opportunities to completely transform it. Findings Using design thinking, to understand the job customers are trying to do and the problem they have doing it allows strategists to craft a new potential offering and shape a value proposition that creates greater value than existing alternatives.” Practical implications The first design practice worth integrating into strategy development is human-centered design (HCD), with its tools that explore multiple pathways for growth through the experience of customers, the perspectives of “uncommon” partners, and the untapped local intelligence of employees. Originality/value The capability set design thinking offers – the focus on customers’ job-to-be-done, the ability to prototype and experiment, to manage a portfolio of bets, and to foster engagement and alignment – can provide what successful growth, whether incremental or disruptive, demands.

Wisdom of the crowds, Technological capabilities and Functional alignment, which when recognised and utilised in innovation processes, can unlock the ability to source, develop and commercialise ideas at rapid pace. The phenomenon is known as technological convergence. By definition, technological convergence is described as the process by which Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) converge towards new and more unified markets. This convergence often leverages the three dimensions of innovation – economic, technical and functional. On the economic side, the focus of a focal firm is on maximising profits with minimal costs under resource constraints brought about in-part by liberalisation of markets. In this regard, open innovation which involves harnessing wisdom of the crowds at the fuzzy front-end of the innovation process has increasingly been promoted as a pragmatic mechanism for accessing widely distributed knowledge (Thanasopon, Papdopoulos & Vidgen, 2016), in large firms (Brunswicker & Chesbrough, 2018) and SMEs (Vanhaverbeke, Frattini, Roijakkers & Usman, 2018). On the technical side, the main driver has been the rise of enabling technologies, at times revolutioning social behaviour but mostly brought about through incremental shifts in technical abilities. Finally, convergence is realised through functional alignment, characterised by integration of computational, behaviour and communication factors in a unique value-proposition delivered through new product or new service (Canals, Torres & Borés, 2001). The growing prominence of technological convergence means firms can no longer afford to work in silos or rely on proprietory waterfall solutions to achieve competitive advantage and influence societal progress. Here, we build on our July 2018 editorial which emphasised the cumulative importance of management research and management practice working together for societal progress. W-T-F is offered here as the fundamental trilogy that both managers and researchers need to address to survive and thrive in an increasingly digitised and globally-connected world. (...)

La traduction automatique statistique produit des résultats qui en font un choix privilégié dans la plupart des scénarios de traduction assistée par ordinateur.Cependant, le développement de ces systèmes de haute performance implique des traitements très coûteux sur des données à grande échelle. De nouvelles données sont continuellement disponibles,alors que les systèmes construits de manière standard sont statiques, ce qui rend l'utilisation de nouvelles données couteuse car les systèmes sont typiquement reconstruits en intégralité.En outre, le processus d'adaptation des systèmes de traduction est généralement fondé sur un corpus de développement et est effectué une fois pour toutes. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons un cadre informatique pour répondre à ces trois problèmes conjointement. Ce cadre permet de développer des systèmes de traduction à la demande avec des mises à jour incrémentales et permet d’adapter les systèmes construits à chaque nouveau texte à traduire.La première contribution importante de cette thèse concerne une nouvelle méthode d'alignement sous-phrastique qui peut aligner des paires de phrases en isolation. Cette propriété permet aux systèmes de traduction de calculer des informations à la demande afin d'intégrer de façon transparente de nouvelles données disponibles sans re-entraînement complet des systèmes.La deuxième contribution importante de cette thèse est de proposer l'intégration de stratégies d'échantillonnage contextuel pour sélectionner des exemples de traduction à partir de corpus à grande échelle sur la base de leur similarité avec le texte à traduire afin d obtenir des tables de traduction adaptées<br>Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) produces results that make it apreferred choice in most machine-assisted translation scenarios.However,the development of such high-performance systems involves thecostly processing of very large-scale data. New data are constantly madeavailable while the constructed SMT systems are usually static, so thatincorporating new data into existing SMT systems imposes systemdevelopers to re-train systems from scratch. In addition, the adaptationprocess of SMT systems is typically based on some available held-outdevelopment set and is performed once and for all.In this thesis, wepropose an on-demand framework that tackles the 3 above problemsjointly, to enable to develop SMT systems on a per-need with incremental updates and to adapt existing systems to each individual input text.The first main contribution of this thesis is devoted to a new on-demandword alignment method that aligns training sentence pairs in isolation.This property allows SMT systems to compute information on a per-needbasis and to seamlessly incorporate new available data into an exiting SMT system without re-training the whole systems. The second maincontribution of this thesis is the integration of contextual sampling strategies to select translation examples from large-scale corpora that are similar to the input text so as to build adapted phrase tables

The objective of this chapter is to systematize and contextualize relevant theoretical and practical considerations in the dynamics of talent management in a business context, as well as observe the practical implementation in small and medium enterprises in the north of Portugal. Talent management requires the ability to take on each employee's “I's” and their alignment with the organization's “ecosystem,” seeking a shared vision, mission, and growth opportunities for the future. Therefore, creativity and constant innovation are crucial aspects to continually push the “comfort zones” through constant challenges, creating positive difference. About the structure of work, which will consist of two parts: The first part is composed by a literature review related to the theme, aiming to gather the most relevant considerations on the subject. In the second, the authors intend to implement a practical study towards management in talented small and medium enterprises in the north of Portugal.

Full textAbstract:
Tightening method for flange joints proposed by ASME PCC-1 specifies that bolts are tightened by the cross-pattern sequence and tightening torque is raised with several steps. On the other hand, new tightening method has been proposed by Japan BFC committee, in which bolts are tightened in the clockwise-pattern sequence and tightening torque is 100% of the target torque in all steps after an install step with some snug torque. Tightening tests using flanges with various nominal sizes, performed in this study, show that the new tightening method achieves comparable uniformity in bolt preloads and in flange alignment with ASME PCC-1 procedure. This new tightening method is able to reduce both the work volume in the tightening operation and the possibility of human errors like missing the tightening order in it. Step-like increment of the bolt tension under the repeated tightening with small increment of the tightening torque is also discussed. Experimental results show that continuous control of the bolt tension by the repeated tightening is impossible. The step-like increment of the bolt tension is observed in the tightening process of the actual bolted flange joints so that the excessive iteration of the repeated tightening round hardly improves the uniformity of the bolt preloads.
