Abstract:
The present study intended to investigate the effect of managers’ similar-to-me bias on the job satisfaction and organizational trust between public organizations staff. The current study is a descriptive-correlational applied research with quantitative data collection (questionnaire). The results of structural equation modeling analyses conducted for 80 employees of Public organizations in Ardabil, Iran, offered strong support for the proposed model. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship between similar-to-me effect and job satisfaction; furthermore, organizational trust mediated the relationship between similar-to-me effect and job satisfaction. It is worth noting that there was a positive relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction.

Abstract:
Three experiments were conducted to examine the effects of self-select feeding to 40 weeks of age on food, protein and metabolizable energy (ME) intakes and egg mass output of pullets previously trained to this feeding system between 15 and 19 weeks of age and kept at cool (10�-20�C) and hot (25�-35�C) temperatures. In two experiments different lighting patterns were also compared without noticeable effect. Except for ME intake on the low-ME diet in Experiment 2, protein and ME intakes were significantly improved when pullets fed a low-ME (10.2 MJ/kg) or high-ME (12.0 MJ/kg) complete layer diet at both temperatures were offered a separate protein concentrate on a self-select basis. Increases in egg mass output were most pronounced when the high-ME complete diet was fed with the protein concentrate at the hot temperatures. The resulting egg mass output was similar to that obtained when the low-ME complete diet was fed with the protein concentrate or when a highly concentrated, complete diet, based on the intakes of the high-ME diet and the separate protein concentrate selected by pullets of similar age in an earlier study, was fed. Providing a separate granular source of calcium had no significant effect on the responses to self-select feeding.

Abstract:
Samenvatting en Sacco et al. (2003) vonden geen effect van demografische gelijkenis tussen beoordelaar en kandidaat op beoordelingen van het selectie-interview. Beide studies onderzochten hiërarchisch lineaire modellen (HLM). Gebruikmakend van eenzelfde HLM-procedure is binnen het huidige onderzoek nagegaan wat het effect is van gelijkenis op scores die gegeven zijn aan cultureel diverse kandidaten tijdens de selectie van politieagenten op een ander veelgebruikt instrument, namelijk het assessment center (AC). Meer specifiek onderzochten we het similar-to-me-effect van demografische gelijkenis (d.w.z. culturele gelijkenis van de beoordelaar ten aanzien van de kandidaat) en van waargenomen gelijkenis (d.w.z. gelijkenis ten aanzien van specifieke culturele groepen, zoals waargenomen door individuele beoordelaars) op scores op het AC. Demografisch similar-to-me bleek gerelateerd te zijn aan Agency-scores van autochtoon Nederlandse kandidaten en kandidaten met een migratieachtergrond, maar niet aan Communion-scores. Waargenomen similar-to-me had geen effect op de beoordelingen van het AC (d.w.z. Agency en Communion). In zijn algemeenheid bleken de effectgrootten erg klein (R2 < .015). Derhalve kan worden geconcludeerd dat we geen bewijs vonden voor een differentieel effect van gelijkenis op de beoordeling van het AC van cultureel diverse kandidaten, wat bevindingen van McCarthy et al. en Sacco et al. repliceert en uitbreidt.

Abstract:
We investigated the response to drought of nine NAD–malic enzyme (NAD–ME) and nine NADP–malic enzyme (NADP–ME) C4 grasses. Species were grown from seeds in potted soil in a glasshouse. Seedlings were either watered regularly or exposed to two successive drying cycles of 8–10 d each, after which plants were harvested. Under well-watered conditions, average water use efficiency (WUE; dry mass gain per unit water transpired) was similar for NAD–ME and NADP–ME C4 grasses, and ranged between 6.0 and 8.7 g dry mass kg–1 H2O. Drought enhanced WUE of most species, but to a significantly greater extent in NAD–ME (1.20-fold) than NADP–ME (1.11-fold) grasses. Inhibition of dry matter accumulation (average of 12%) and shoot elongation under drought was similar among the C4 grasses. Leaf dry matter carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope compositions were significantly different between the two C4 subtypes. Leaf δ13C averaged –13.3 and –12.2, and leaf δ18O averaged 26.0 and 26.9 in well-watered NAD–ME and NADP–ME grasses, respectively. Drought significantly reduced leaf δ13C in most C4 grasses by an average 0.5. Leaf δ18O was not significantly affected by drought, indicating that leaf δ18O does not reflect drought-induced changes in leaf transpiration of C4 grasses. In the experiment reported here, NAD–ME grasses increased their WUE under drought to a greater extent than their NADP–ME counterparts. Increased WUE of the C4 grasses under drought was primarily related to control of water loss relative to carbon gain at the leaf, rather than the plant, level.

Abstract:
<p>This study investigated the effects of different sugars (sucrose, fructose, glucose) and sugar alcohols (mannitol, sorbitol) applied alone and in solution with methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) on the anthocyanin content in the roots of <em>Kalanchoe blossfeldiana</em>. None of the sugars used individually in the experiment affected anthocyanin accumulation in the roots of intact plants. The anthocyanin level was similar to that in the control. Sucrose at concentrations of 0.5% and 3.0%, and glucose at a concentration of 3.0% inhibited anthocyanin accumulation induced by JA-Me. Only fructose at a concentration of 3.0% stimulated anthocyanin accumulation induced by JA-Me. The sugar alcohols, mannitol at a concentration of 3.0% and sorbitol at 0.5% and 3.0%, inhibited anthocyanin accumulation in the roots of intact <em>K. blossfeldiana</em> plants induced by JA-Me. In excised roots, both sugars and JA-Me used individually did not affect the formation of anthocyanins. Also, the sugar alcohols (mannitol and sorbitol) applied simultaneously with JA-Me had no effect on the accumulation of anthocyanins. However, roots treated with sugars (sucrose, fructose, glucose) in solution with JA-Me promoted the induction of anthocyanins in the apical parts of the roots. </p><p>The results suggest that anthocyanin elicitation in the roots of <em>K. blossfeldiana</em> by methyl jasmonate may be dependent on the interaction of JA-Me with sugars transported from the stems (leaves) to the roots.</p>

It is widely accepted that the fermentation characteristics of grass silages will affect the voluntary intake of animals offered silage. Relationships between voluntary silage intake and various parameters measurable in silage have beei demonstrated and they provide, with varying degrees of accuracy, methods of predicting voluntary silage intake. The objective of this study was to compare the voluntary intake and animal performance supported by two grass silages with similar ME contents but differing FME: ME ratios.

Full text
Abstract:
The present study compared the effects of natural senescence and methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) treatment on the levels of terpene trilactones (TTLs; ginkgolides and bilobalide), phenolic acids, and flavonoids in the primary organs of Ginkgo biloba leaves, leaf blades, and petioles. Levels of the major TTLs, ginkgolides B and C, were significantly higher in the leaf blades of naturally senesced yellow leaves harvested on 20 October compared with green leaves harvested on 9 September. In petioles, a similar effect was found, although the levels of these compounds were almost half as high. These facts indicate the importance of the senescence process on TTL accumulation. Some flavonoids and phenolic acids also showed changes in content related to maturation or senescence. Generally, the application of JA-Me slightly but substantially increased the levels of TTLs in leaf blades irrespective of the difference in its application side on the leaves. Of the flavonoids analyzed, levels of quercetin, rutin, quercetin-4-glucoside, apigenin, and luteolin were dependent on the JA-Me application site, whereas levels of (+) catechin and (−) epicatechin were not. Application of JA-Me increased ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid esters in the petiole but decreased the levels of these compounds in the leaf blade. The content of p-coumaric acid glycosides and caffeic acid esters was only slightly modified by JA-Me. In general, JA-Me application affected leaf senescence by modifying the accumulation of ginkogolides, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. These effects were also found to be different in leaf blades and petioles. Based on JA-Me- and aging-related metabolic changes in endogenous levels of the secondary metabolites in G. biloba leaves, we discussed the results of study in the context of basic research and possible practical application.

Full text
Abstract:
The McCollough effect (ME) refers to the phenomenon that, after a few minutes' exposure to gratings differing in both orientation and colour, subjects perceive similarly oriented achromatic gratings as if they were tinted with complementary hues. The traditional explanation of the ME as an adaptation of detectors selective for colour and orientation suffers from a number of inconsistencies: (i) the ME lasts much longer than ordinary adaptation, the decay of the effect being completely arrested during a night's sleep, or by occluding the eye for a long time; (ii) the strength of the ME is practically independent of the intensity of the adapting light; and (iii) a set of related pattern-contingent aftereffects discovered later would require, for explanation on similar lines, new detectors specific to other patterns. These properties can be explained, however, in the framework of associative memory and novelty filters. A computational model has been developed which consists of (i) an input layer of two (left and right eyes) square matrices with two analog receptors (red and green) in each pixel; (ii) an isomorphic associative neural layer, each neuron being synaptically connected with all receptors of both eyes; and (iii) an output layer (novelty filter). Modification of synaptic efficacies conforms to the Hebb learning rule. After a few presentations of coloured gratings the model displays the ME, which is slowly destroyed by subsequent presentations of random pictures. With a sufficiently large receptor matrix the effect lasts a thousand times longer than the period of learning. Continuous darkness does not change the strength of the effect. Like the real ME, the model does not display interocular transfer, but with other adapting patterns it shows the disparity-contingent colour aftereffect (thus confirming the connections with both eyes). The model can account for different pattern-contingent colour aftereffects without assuming any predetermined specific detectors. Such detectors are constructed in the course of adaptation to specific stimuli (gratings).

Abstract:
AIM: There is some evidence to suggest that exercise in the evening, compared with exercise in the morning, has a more beneficial impact on glycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to examine a possible acute effect of aerobic exercise performed at different times of day on blood glucose levels during and after exercise in patients with T2D. MATERIAL & METHOD: Eight male T2D patients (61.8 ± 6.9 yrs, 27.7 ± 3.1 kg/m2, HbA1c: 6.5 ± 1.1%; mean ± SD), who did not receive insulin, performed 60-min cycling at about 75% maximal heart rate (HRmax) either at 10:30 (Morning-M), or at 17:30 (Evening-E), or 30-min cycling at 10:30 and 30-min cycling at 17:30 (ME). A control condition (C) was also included where volunteers did not exercise but had their blood glucose measured at day-time intervals similar to the time intervals of the three exercise trials. Two days before each condition no physical activity was allowed, while the day before and on the day of each trial participants controlled their diet. RESULTS: Compared to resting levels, blood glucose at the end of exercise decreased at similar levels in M (20 ± 12%), E (28 ± 14%), in the morning of ME (21 ± 10%) and in the evening of ME (26 ± 19%) (p > 0.05). Also, heart rate, blood lactate and rate of perceived exertion responses during exercise were similar between the 3 exercise conditions. Mean area under the blood glucose-time curve over the two-hour post-exercise period in exercise trials, and at similar time intervals in C, was different only between the morning in C (15,173 ± 1830 mg/dL•120 min) and the evening in ME (11,681 ± 1526 mg/dL•120 min, p = 0.045). In addition, overnight fasting serum glucose the morning after each trial was similar between conditions (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: No acute effect of cycling at about 75% HRmax was observed on glycemia in patients with T2D when exercise was performed at different times of day.

Abstract:
The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program facilitated my scientific growth in terms of the questions I can address; the tools, approaches, techniques and data to which I have access; and the diversity of intellectual and disciplinary expertise that I can tap. As a consequence, I am asking questions that cut across much larger spatial and especially temporal scales, and my research projects are more interdisciplinary, complex, and integrated. My ability to mentor students at all levels has been transformed by the variety of resources and opportunities afforded by the LTER program. One consequence is that these students are better prepared to become engaged globally. My role in the LTER program has required me to communicate scientific issues and findings to a broad audience. I have become more interested in the translation of science findings to public policy and practices to help conserve key functions of threatened ecosystems. My involvement with the LTER program has enabled me to forge a much larger circle of national and international collaborators to address questions that require a network of similar sites. The LTER construct has enabled me to broaden the scope of my research by expanding the interdisciplinary nature of my collaborations and the diversity of tools at my disposal. My involvement with the LTER program began in 2000 when I joined the Santa Barbara Coastal (SBC) site as an associate investigator, and it expanded in 2004 to include being the principal investigator of the newly established Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) site. I am privileged to continue to serve as principal investigator of MCR and as an associate investigator at SBC. My research interests center on ecological processes and feedbacks that drive the dynamics of populations and communities. Prior to my involvement in the LTER program, I conducted my research projects either alone or with a small group of like-minded collaborators to address such issues as regulation of (marine) animals with open populations or the effect of indirect interactions on coexistence of species (Figure 28.1). These projects taught me some of the limitations of “small science,” particularly when exacerbated by a lack of relevant long-term data.

Abstract:
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a controversial condition, conflicts about which have frequently burst out of the medical literature into the popular media. Whilst these controversies may initially seem to be of limited interest to those who do not routinely treat such patients, they also exemplify important current issues in medicine. These issues include the nature of symptom-defined illness; patient power versus medical authority; and the uncomfortable but important issues of psychological iatrogenesis. The subject is therefore of relevance to all doctors. Fatigue is a subjective feeling of weariness, lack of energy, and exhaustion. Approximately 20 per cent of the general population report significant and persistent fatigue, although relatively few of these people regard themselves as ill and only a small minority seek a medical opinion. Even so, fatigue is a common clinical presentation in primary care. When fatigue becomes chronic and associated with disability it is regarded as an illness. Such a syndrome has been recognized at least since the latter half of the last century. Whilst during the Victorian era patients who went to see doctors with this illness often received a diagnosis of neurasthenia, a condition ascribed to the effect of the stresses of modern life on the human nervous system the popularity of this diagnosis waned and by the mid-twentieth century it was rarely diagnosed (although the diagnosis subsequently became popular in the Far East—see Chapter 5.2.1). Although it is possible that the prevalence of chronic fatigue had waned in the population, it is more likely that patients who presented in this way were being given alternative diagnoses. These were mainly the new psychiatric syndromes of depression and anxiety, but also other labels indicating more direct physical explanations, such as chronic brucellosis, spontaneous hypoglycaemia, and latterly chronic Epstein–Barr virus infection. As well as these sporadic cases of fatiguing illness, epidemics of similar illnesses have been occasionally reported. One which occurred among staff at the Royal Free Hospital, London in 1955 gave rise to the term myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), although it should be emphasized that the nature and symptoms of that outbreak are dissimilar to the majority of those now presenting to general practitioners under the same label. A group of virologists and immunologists proposed the term chronic fatigue syndrome in the late 1980s. This new and aetiologically neutral term was chosen because it was increasingly recognized that many cases of fatigue were often not readily explained either by medical conditions such as Epstein–Barr virus infection or by obvious depression and anxiety disorders. Chronic fatigue syndrome has remained the most commonly used term by researchers. The issue of the name is still not completely resolved however: Neurasthenia remains in the ICD-10 psychiatric classification as a fatigue syndrome unexplained by depressive or anxiety disorder, whilst the equivalent in DSM-IV is undifferentiated somatoform disorder. Myalgic encephalomyelitis or (encephalopathy) is in the neurological section of ICD-10 and is used by some to imply that the illness is neurological as opposed to a psychiatric one. Unfortunately the case descriptions under these different labels make it clear that they all reflect similar symptomatic presentations, adding to confusion. Official UK documents have increasingly adopted the uneasy and probably ultimately unsatisfactory compromise term CFS/ME. In this chapter, we will use the simple term chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Abstract:
The repatriation movement in the USA has had a profound impact on how human remains are viewed by osteologists and archaeologists. Federal repatriation legislation, including the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA, PL 101–610; 25 U.S.C. 3001 et seq., 1990) and the National Museum of the American Indian Act (NMAIA, PL 101–185; 20 U.S.C 80q et seq., 1989) have led museums to transfer control of collections to affiliated descendant communities. Similar laws have been enacted in the states (e.g. A.R.S. §41–844, §41–865 [Arizona]; Cal. Health and Saf. Code, §8010, et seq. [California]; La. R.S. 8:671, et seq. [Louisiana]; Me. R.S. 13:1371– A [Maine]), with some preceding federal action and others a response to it (Seidemann 2010). Ancestral skeletal remains and objects were once regarded as cultural resources under the authoritative control of scientists (Colwell- Chanthaphonh 2009: 6–12). The struggle for the rights of indigenous people and others to determine disposition of ancestral remains challenged scientific authority and led to self-reflection on the part of the profession. Osteologists and archaeologists were reminded that they are dealing with deceased persons and that their actions are socially constructed manipulations of the dead, not unlike the work of other mortuary practitioners. This work is inextricably concerned with reconstructing identities. This involves both an effort to characterize the identities of past individuals or groups in life and to transform the dead anew, creating new identities for a variety of audiences. The process of identity reconstruction may be considered a re-embodiment of the person and that process is what this chapter is about. We illustrate this discussion with a case study of the analysis and repatriation of individuals exhumed from the Alameda-Stone Cemetery, Tucson, Arizona, USA. We use this example to show how individual and community identities are formed, neglected, transformed, and reconstructed in a large multicultural burial assemblage. The human body is universally regarded as an aesthetic object and an inseparable component of personal identity, but its value as an object of scientific inquiry is perhaps uniquely emphasized in Western thought. Once restricted to science and the medical profession, interest in the materiality of the body has now found a much broader audience.

"allowable in your court to speak outside the main issue, please bear this in mind. It was they who entered our home by force; they who pursued; they who tried to drag us by force off the street. [47] Remember this and vote for what is just. Do not allow me to be exiled unjustly from my fatherland, for which I have faced many dangers and performed many public services; I have never been responsible for any harm to it, nor has any of my ancestors, but for much benefit. [48] So in justice I should be pitied by you and other men, not only if any of the things Simon wants were to happen to me but also because I have been forced as a result of events like this to face a trial of this nature. The case arises out of a dispute between two rivals for the affections of a youth named Theodotos. The dispute obviously has a long history. The speaker (§5) traces it back to vindictive jealousy on Simon’s part because the boy preferred the speaker’s kindness to Simon’s abusive treatment. Simon for his part appears to be arguing (§22) that he had a sexual contract with the boy and that the speaker induced the boy to breach this arrangement. The speaker’s evasiveness on the subject suggests that Simon may be telling the truth on this point. The rivalry has erupted into violence, and Simon is prosecuting the speaker for allegedly wounding him. The speaker claims that Simon laid an ambush for the boy and that the speaker and the boy were innocent victims. Simon claims that the speaker came to his house and threatened to kill him. The case for the defence relies heavily on a tapestry of contrasting characterization woven by Lysias. Noteworthy is the use of the preliminary narrative in §§5–10, tracing the prehistory of the dispute, to create a vivid impression of Simon in preparation for the main narrative. Simon emerges as consistently drunken, violent and lawless. In contrast, the speaker is a mild-mannered individual, painfully embarrassed at the strength of his passion, unbecoming in a man of his years, and eager to avoid trouble at all costs. As in Lysias 1 (Case I), the characterization effects an implicit argument: could a man as retiring as the speaker be an aggressor, and could a man as violent as Simon be an innocent victim of aggression? So powerful is this contrast that it is only on reflection that we notice that the speaker is our sole source for this characterization. The speaker also, by emphasizing that similar quarrels have taken place before and stressing the triviality of the cause, and by presenting the fight in question as a confused and slightly comic affair, seeks to present the incident as a petty squabble unworthy of the attention of the Areopagos."

Full text
Abstract:
The Morton effect (ME) results from the synchronous, thermal excitation of a rotating shaft because of the uneven viscous shearing in hydrodynamic bearings and the asymmetric temperature distribution in shafts. The temperature difference bends the rotor, reducing the film thickness and increasing the thermal unbalance, which may cause excessive vibration level and unsteady phase angle. To predict the potential thermal instability from the ME, the finite element method is used to solve the transient rotordynamics and temperature distribution in the lubricant, bearing and shaft. The conventional thermal unbalance method is replaced by a more accurate thermal shaft bow model for rotordynamic analysis and the three-dimensional energy equation is utilized for the lubricant temperature prediction. Considering that the temperature change in the shaft and bearing occurs quite slowly relative to the shaft vibration deflection change, a staggered scheme is employed to assign a longer period to update the system temperature distribution and a shorter period to update the vibration orbits. Verified by a real overhung compressor model, the ME instability onset speed predicted by simulation coincides with the tested speed, at which large vibration level is observed. The hysteresis phenomenon, which is quite typical for thermal-induced vibration problems, can be caused by the ME and is demonstrated by the simulation. A stability recovery speed is confirmed, above which the vibration level and the rotor temperature difference will decrease to an acceptable level and the system will become stable. To investigate the influence of bearing configuration on ME, different bearing types including fixed pad bearings (FPBs) and tilting pad bearings (TPBs) with various pad numbers are analyzed. Meanwhile, the bearing clearance and preload intentionally remain unchanged in the comparison. Results show that despite similar critical speeds, the TPBs are better at suppressing the ME with lower average temperature and larger film thickness in the lubricant, especially at high speeds. This is due to the self-tilting ability for the TPBs to maintain a satisfactory bearing clearance. The four-pad TPBs outperform the five-pad TPBs with both lower average temperature and smaller temperature difference in the shaft considering that the effective load-carrying area is larger in the 4-pad bearings. Moreover, the asymmetric pivot offset of 0.6 is simulated to demonstrate its superiority in mitigating the ME compared with the common 0.5 offset. Considering that the ME instability occurs in the vicinity of the critical speeds in most cases, the bearing diameter-length ratio should be carefully designed to achieve a larger separation margin.

Abstract:
The properties of fibrinogen and fibrin, the levels of fibrincpeptide A (FPA) and fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDP) were studied in 34 patients with AMI who were undergoing thrombolytic and heparin therapy. They were classified into 6 groups accordingto their stage of treatment: group 1, before intravenous administration of 800.000 U streptokinase over 30 min; group 2, after a<Mnistraticn of SK but before adninistraticn of heparin; group 3, during 24 h ofthe 5 ng/h heparin continuous infusion; group 4, during 48-72 h of the 16.6 ng/h heparin continuous infhsion; group 5, after 1 week of administration of SK and with a bolus inyection of 50 rg heparin every 4 h; group 6, patients who were undergoing only heparin treatment. The Fg 1/ Fg II ratio varies during treatment with SK and heparin. In group 1 a sligjnt increase (2.5) is observed. Group 2 shows a significantdecrease (0.6) as a result of fibrinolysis. In group3 the ratio reaches normal value (1.8) while in the fourth group it is twice the normal value (4). The value for group 5 is nearly normal (2.1), and in group 6 it reaches values similar to those obtained in group 4, which implies that the rise in the Fgl/Fgll ratio is not a result of fibrinolytic treatment. TheFPA level shows and increase in patients with AMI (group 1,126 ng/ml). When SK treatment is applied (group 2), FPA decreases to 52 ng/ml. Later treatment with heparin (group-3, 82; group-4, 44 and group-5, 81ng/ml) does not neutralize thrcmbinic activity. Patients treated only with heparin (group 6) show an FPAvalue of 19 ng/ml, which is lower than in the other groups. All of this indicates that thrombin is activated after fibrinolytic treatment. FDP values show asignificant increase in the six groups (1, 53; 2, 430; 3, 128; 4, 270; 5, 139 and 6, 141 ug/ml), which indicates that during treatment with heparin the fibrinolytic activity persists. he formation of highly cross-linked fibrin is altered in groups 1,2,3 and 4,as a consequence of circulating FDP effect and fibrincgeno- lysis.The permeability of the fibrin clotdecreases in groups 1 (0.42), 2 (1.3), 4 (1.1) and 5(0.5 ml/s/ng) and increases in group 2 (23.2 ml/s/nig) with respect to the normal plasma value (3.2 ml/s/nrg). The decrease in permeability must be related to the existence of hypercoagulability resistant to heparinization. FPA values, tine Fgl/Fgll ratio, andfibrin permeability can be used to evaluate the degree of thrcmbin activity during thrombolytic treatmentinAMI.

Abstract:
Viscoelastic material functions such as time domain functions, such as, relaxation modulus and creep compliance, or frequency domain function, such as, complex modulus can be used to characterize the linear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete in modeling and analysis of pavement structure. Among these, the complex modulus has been adopted in the recent pavement Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) design software AASHTOWare-ME. However, for advanced analysis of pavement, such as, use of finite element method requires that the complex modulus function to be converted into relaxation modulus or creep compliance functions. There are a number of exact or approximate methods available in the literature to convert complex modulus function to relaxation modulus or creep compliance functions. All these methods (i.e. exact or approximate methods) are applicable for any linear viscoelastic material up to a certain level of accuracy. However, the applicability and accuracy of these interconversion methods for asphalt concrete material were not studied very much in the past and thus question arises if these methods are even applicable in case of asphalt concrete, and if so, what is the precision level of the interconversion method being used. Therefore, to investigate these facts, this study undertaken an effort to validate a numerical interconversion technique by conducting representative laboratory tests. Cylindrical specimens of asphalt concrete were prepared in the laboratory for conducting complex modulus, relaxation modulus, and creep compliance tests at different test temperatures and loading rates. The time-temperature superposition principle was applied to develop broadband linear viscoelastic material functions. A numerical interconversion technique was used to convert complex modulus function to relaxation modulus and creep compliance functions, and hence, the converted relaxation modulus and creep compliance are compared to the laboratory tested relaxation modulus and creep compliance functions. The comparison showed good agreement with the laboratory test data. Toward the end, a statistical evaluation was conducted to determine if the interconverted material functions are similar to the laboratory tested material functions.
