TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take a look back at different paradigms held for the action of rare-earth additions, and examine key facts that may reconcile controversies, identifying critical gaps and suggest venues to overcome them.
Abstract: Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, is approximately four times lighter than steel—the most widely used metal in industrial applications. Currently available Mg alloys, however, are impractically expensive for use in automotive structural components, as severe ductility problems require forming operations at elevated temperatures and an exclusion from critical safety components. With a strong impetus in research having sprung up during the last two decades, addition of rare-earth elements in small quantities emerged as a potential solution for simultaneously delivering the ductility and weight requirements for automotive applications. These improvements are arguably achieved by virtue of texture weakening and enhancement of non-basal slip. However, ways by which rare-earth elements modify texture remain very elusive, and no consensus on the driving mechanisms has been reached in the literature as of yet. We take a look back at different paradigms held for the action of rare-earth additions, and examine key facts that may reconcile controversies. We attempt to identify critical gaps and suggest venues to overcome them. These gaps, once filled, may promote Mg alloys to become a stronghold for lightweighting, which will exceptionally benefit our environment and wellbeing.

TL;DR: A technique that uses an energy function to guide the placement of streamlines at a specified density is introduced, and the resulting streamlines manifest a more hand-placed appearance than regularly or randomly-placed streamlines.
Abstract: Accurate control of streamline density is key to producing several effective forms of visualization of two-dimensional vector fields. We introduce a technique that uses an energy function to guide the placement of streamlines at a specified density. This energy function uses a low-pass filtered version of the image to measure the difference between the current image and the desired visual density. We reduce the energy (and thereby improve the placement of streamlines) by (1) changing the positions and lengths of streamlines, (2) joining streamlines that nearly abut, and (3) creating new streamlines to fill sufficiently large gaps. The entire process is iterated to produce streamlines that are neither too crowded nor too sparse. The resulting streamlines manifest a more hand-placed appearance than do regularlyor randomly-placed streamlines. Arrows can be added to the streamlines to disambiguate flow direction, and flow magnitude can be represented by the thickness, density, or intensity of the lines.

TL;DR: This article integrated a multidimensional conceptualization of conflict into a model of strategic decision making and organizational performance and developed propositions to guide empirical study of the effects of conflict on strategic decision-making.
Abstract: Strategic decision making influences organizational performance. However, close examination of this relationship reveals a subtle paradox. It appears that the products of strategic decision making, all of which are necessary for enhanced organizational performance, do not peacefully coexist. Conflict seems to be the crux of this conundrum. As such, a better understanding of conflict's effects on strategic decision making is needed This paper integrates a multidimensional conceptualization of conflict Into a model of strategic decision making and organizational performance and develops propositions to guide empirical study of the effects of conflict on strategic decision making.

TL;DR: Results based on data from 814 student participants searching actual organization Web sites support and extend signaling and brand equity theories by showing that job information and organization information are related to intentions to pursue employment when a priori perceptions of image are controlled.
Abstract: Recruitment theory and research show that objective characteristics, subjective considerations, and critical contact send signals to prospective applicants about the organization and available opportunities. In the generating applicants phase of recruitment, critical contact may consist largely of interactions with recruitment sources (e.g., newspaper ads, job fairs, organization Web sites); however, research has yet to fully address how all 3 types of signaling mechanisms influence early job pursuit decisions in the context of organizational recruitment Web sites. Results based on data from 814 student participants searching actual organization Web sites support and extend signaling and brand equity theories by showing that job information (directly) and organization information (indirectly) are related to intentions to pursue employment when a priori perceptions of image are controlled. A priori organization image is related to pursuit intentions when subsequent information search is controlled, but organization familiarity is not, and attitudes about a recruitment source also influence attraction and partially mediate the effects of organization information. Theoretical and practical implications for recruitment are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of spatial variability of soil has been investigated and the extent of surface spatial analysis and interpretation of the variability of soils has been studied, including the distribution of subsurface and stone in site-specific farming.
Abstract: ited on sandy or on loamy sediments. Therefore, it is important to study not only the extent of surface spatial Analysis and interpretation of spatial variability of soils is a keyvariability, but also the distribution of subsurface and stone in site-specific farming.
