The N2K Consortium. I. A Hot Saturn Planet Orbiting HD 88133

Abstract: The N2K ("next 2000") consortium is carrying out a distributed observing campaign with the Keck, Magellan, and Subaru telescopes, as well as the automatic photometric telescopes of Fairborn Observatory, in order to search for short-period gas giant planets around metal-rich stars. We have established a reservoir of more than 14,000 main-sequence and subgiant stars closer than 110 pc, brighter than V = 10.5, and with 0.4 0.1 dex for this survey. We outline the strategy and report the detection of a planet orbiting the metal-rich G5 IV star HD 88133 with a period of 3.41 days, semivelocity amplitude K = 35.7 m s^(-1), and M sin i = 0.29M_J. Photometric observations reveal that HD 88133 is constant on the 3.415 day radial velocity period to a limit of 0.0005 mag. Despite a transit probability of 19.5%, our photometry rules out the shallow transits predicted by the large stellar radius.

Stability and Change in Managerial Work Values: A Longitudinal Study of China, Hong Kong, and the U.S.

Abstract: This study presents a 12-year (1989–2001) longitudinal comparison of managerial values systems in China, Hong Kong, and the U.S. Using hierarchical cluster analysis, we test the validity of the three competing perspectives – convergence, divergence, and crossvergence – on values system evolution in these three societies. We use the sociocultural influence and business ideology influence typology as the foundation for developing our hypotheses. Additionally, we assess the contribution of the specific values within the values system to the overall system values findings. Our data most strongly support the multicultural crossvergence perspective. During a time period of stability in the U.S. and substantial change in both Hong Kong and China, the values of Hong Kong and China became more similar, while the values of these two Greater China societies became more different from those of the U.S.

Species–Area Relationships

Abstract: A species–area relationship is simply the observation that the number of biological species found in a region is a positive function of the area in the region. Species–area relationships are depicted graphically as a bivariate plot of species richness on the ordinate and area on the abscissa, a species–area curve. Species–area relationships appear to be ubiquitous, which have been observed for a wide array of taxa ranging from diatoms to fish, insects, birds, vascular plants, and mammals and for geographical entities such as islands, political entities, woodland, grassland, and cropland habitat patches, lakes, river drainages, and artificial substrates from microscope slides to synthetic sponges and slates.
