TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce and discuss a theory of organizational behavior in HSOs, integrating their own experiences with the works of Bell, Jaques, Weick, Weisbord, and others.
Abstract: The dominant paradigm of organizations, on which organization development (OD) is based, is industry-specific in theory and practice. The traditional manner by which OD technology has been transferred to the human services field presumes that the same theories and practices prevail here as well. The authors challenge this presumption. They suggest that the behavior of human services organizations (HSOs) is based on a fundamentally different paradigm, which necessitates both a new organizational theory and a different OD practice. The authors introduce and discuss a theory of organizational behavior in HSOs, integrating their own experiences with the works of Bell, Jaques, Weick, Weisbord, and others. They suggest that HSOs are comprised of three distinct domains-the Policy Domain, the Management Domain, and the Service Domain. They maintain that each domain operates by different and contrasting principles, success measures, structural arrangements, and work modes, and that the interactions between these c...

TL;DR: Using 30 Sprague-Dawley female rats, threshold to pain was measured over the course of recovery from REM sleep deprivation and the REM-deprived animals showed significantly reduced pain thresholds which were still evident 96 hours after the termination of the REM deprivation.
Abstract: Using 30 Sprague-Dawley female rats, threshold to pain was measured over the course of recovery from REM sleep deprivation. Relative to the untreated controls and to their own pretreatment thresholds, the REM-deprived animals showed significantly reduced pain thresholds which were still evident 96 hours after the termination of the REM deprivation. Possible implications of these data for research with analgesic drugs were noted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of extrinsic feedback in inter-language learning is discussed and six tentative conclusions about the role in IL fossilization are presented and discussed in light of the hypotheses made by Vigil and Oller.
Abstract: This paper, a discussion of the model presented in Vigil and Otler (1976), relates to one parameter of “fossilization” in inter-language (IL) learning: the role of “extrinsic feedback.” The notion of “extrinsic factors” in second language acquisition is defined, and permanent fossilization is carefully distinguished from temporary stabilization of IL forms and systems. Six tentative conclusions about the role of extrinsic feedback in IL fossilization are presented and discussed in light of the hypotheses made by Vigil and Oller.

TL;DR: Dall's porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli (True), is commonly encountered over the continental shelf of North America and in offshore and pelagic waters of the western and eastern North Pacific Ocean as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Dall’s porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli (True), is commonly encountered over the continental shelf of North America and in offshore and pelagic waters of the western and eastern North Pacific Ocean. This striking black and white porpoise is characterized by great speed and a cone-shaped splash it makes when surfacing to breathe. Because of its great speed in the wild, making it extremely difficult to capture alive, and its hyperactivity resulting in high mortality after capture, much important information remains to be disclosed of the basic components of its life cycle.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Minot’s hypothesis that cellular aging and death of metazoan animals are the result of cell differentiation is consistent with reviewed evidence on cellular aging mechanisms in Drosophila and mouse.
Abstract: In this review we evaluate Minot’s hypothesis that cellular aging and death of metazoan animals are the result of cell differentiation. The fine structural data suggest that aging in Drosophila is reflected in cytoplasmic organelle loss with accompanying age pigment accumulation. Apparently, a progressive disorganization of fixed postmitotic cells plays a key role in the aging process of fruit flies. In aging mice, electron microscopic studies suggest that primary senescent deterioration takes place also in fixed postmitotic cells. Intermitotic cells appear to undergo only minimal changes, while many fast dividing cells are not affected by aging. We conclude that Minot’s hypothesis is consistent with reviewed evidence on cellular aging mechanisms in Drosophila and mouse. Theoretical support for the hypothesis is derived from a systems analysis of organism-environment interaction and the consequences of cellular organization in flies and mice.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approximate form of the Boltzmann equation has been used to obtain local ionization rates due to the absorption of galactic cosmic rays in the Jovian atmosphere.
TL;DR: It is concluded that many small and medium sized firms do not utilize computers due to ignorance of their capabilities and a misunderstanding of the cost/ benefit factors involved.
TL;DR: It does not appear that purely structural considerations could explain the deviation between the empirical 0·75-law of basal metabolic rate and the surface law.
TL;DR: As a further test of the hypothesis that REM deprivation decreases fear, the behavior of 40 male rats was measured in a Y-maze adapted to test for preference for novelty and offered convincing evidence in support of the hypotheses.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that in birds the energetic demands of flight have influenced the evolution of home range size as well as that of the relationship between standard metabolic rate and body size for passerines.
Abstract: 1.
Ranging behavior in a nonmigratory population of white-crowned sparrows Zonotrichia leucophrys nuttalli residing in the coastal scrub habitat of central California was studied by trapping and recapture. Over 12,000 captures of more than 1,700 individuals were analyzed. In their first breeding season, young Z. l. nuttalli produced from early broods bred near their own hatching site, but those from later broods bred farther away (Fig. 3).
2.
As adults, females had more restricted movements in summer than did males. In winter, females expanded their ranging movements more than males. We hypothesized that higher vagility of females in winter is related to their being socially subordinate to males in flocks. This causes them to wander among different flocks or to live a solitary existence.
3.
Employing a bivariate statistical model we found the most satisfactory description of home range size to be given by a 50% equal frequency ellipse. By this method, the average Z. l. nuttali home range was estimated to be 6–7 ha (Fig. 6).
4.
The home range of four other passerines in the same trap system has been estimated previously. We compared our results on Z. l. nuttalli with reported results on the four other passerines to examine the relationship between home range size and body size among granivores. The best-fit line has the equation: home range (ha)=0.044 W(g)1.31 (Fig. 7). The slope of this line is much steeper than that published for the relationship of mammalian home range and body size and is slightly steeper than indicated by previous work on birds. Our slope is also steeper than that of the relationship between standard metabolic rate and body size for passerines but is similar to a theoretically derived regression coefficient describing the power required for flight in relation to body size. We hypothesized that in birds the energetic demands of flight have influenced the evolution of home range size.
TL;DR: The observed relationships between handedness and a combination of factors known to be associated with birth risk proved to be trivial and thus the validity of Bakan's hypothesis was questionned.
TL;DR: In this paper, responses of 361 college students to the Jenkins Activity Survey and a self-report sleep questionnaire were used to demonstrate an inverse relationship between normal habitual sleep duration and level of Type A behavior.
Abstract: The responses of 361 college students to the Jenkins Activity Survey and a self-report sleep questionnaire were used to demonstrate an inverse relationship between normal habitual sleep duration and level of Type A behavior. The possibility that patterns of sleep may be implicated in the development of Type A behavior in some individuals was considered.
TL;DR: It was found that mixed-handers tend to sleep less and as a group show significantly greater deviations in habitual sleep durations than either left- or right-handed college students.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that every connected, locally 3-connected graph containing no induced subgraph isomorphic to K(1, 3) is hamiltonian-connected.

09 Apr 1979TL;DR: In this paper, a crosslinked elastomeric polytriazine was prepared by a 4-step procedure which consists of: (1) forming a poly(imidoylamidine) by the reaction under reflux conditions of anhydrous ammonia with certain perfluorinated alkyl or alkylether dinitriles; (2) cyclizing the imidoyamidine linkages by reaction with a perfluoric acid anhydrides or halides; (3) extending the linear poly-triazine chain by further refluxing in
Abstract: New crosslinked elastomeric polytriazines have been prepared by a 4-step procedure which consists of: (1) forming a poly(imidoylamidine) by the reaction under reflux conditions of anhydrous ammonia with certain perfluorinated alkyl or alkylether dinitriles; (2) forming a linear polytriazine by cyclizing the imidoylamidine linkages by reaction with certain perfluorinated alkyl or alkylether acid anhydrides or halides; (3) extending the linear polytriazine chain by further refluxing in anhydrous ammonia; and (4) heating to cyclize the new imidoylamidine linkages and thereby crosslink the polymer
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of Lower Permian rocks in northeastern Nevada and northwestern Utah was undertaken to provide a basis for interpretation of Early Permians history of the Cordilleran Miogeosyncline.
Abstract: This study of Lower Permian rocks in northeastern Nevada and northwestern Utah was undertaken to provide a basis for interpretation of Early Permian history of the Cordilleran Miogeosyncline. The area of study extends from the western margin of the miogeosyncline, along the eastern edge of the old Antler highlands, eastward into the Salt Lake Desert west of Salt Lake City (Fig. 1), where outcrops of Permian rocks are few. It extends along the miogeosyncline in Nevada from northern Lincoln County into northern Elko County. The base of the Permian was selected as the lower stratigraphic limit for this study. The base of the Kaibab Limestone was selected as the upper limit, although the Lower-Upper.*** Permian boundary occurs above it (Baird and Collinson, 1975), because it forms a reliable horizon for correlation and marks the commencement of a new depositional cycle in this region. Work concerning Lower Permian rocks of the central Cordilleran Miogeosyncline includes that of Steele (1959, 1960) and Bissell (1960, 1962a, 1962b, 1964, 1967, 1970, 1974), which are regional in scope, and that of Stevens (1965), Collinson (1968), Zabriskie (1970), and, Marcantel (1975), which presents more details in smaller areas. Many different facies, the distribution of which generally has been credited to various highs depocenters, troughs, basins, highlands, or shelves, often on the basis of tenuous data have been recognized.
TL;DR: The data indicate an inverted-U function and activity level for Rem deprived animals, which was in partial conflict with the only other study that has used this combination of variables.
Abstract: The effects of amount of Rem sleep deprivation and age were measured on locomotor activity in 160 Sprague-Dawley female rats. The data indicate an inverted-U function and activity level for Rem deprived animals. This result was in partial conflict with the only other study that has used this combination of variables. Reasons for this conflict are discussed, as are the implications of these data for the general Rem deprivation-animal behavior literature.

TL;DR: The effect of ocular compensation is to keep image orientation on the retina fixed relative to gravity, and to prevent large rotational image motions from being caused by the nautilus's own swimming.
Abstract: Nautilus pompilius can rotate its eye relative to its body so as to compensate for changes in its body orientation and maintain its eye fixed with respect to gravity. An ocular compensation reflex stabilizes its eye about the pitch axis against the rocking motions that occur as the animal swims by jet propulsion. The eye is not held absolutely still, as 1–2° spontaneous rotations occur even if the animal is clamped. If the animal is held in an unnatural orientation (rotated about the axis through its laterally directed eyes) the counterrotation of the eye is maintained for many minutes; it may compensate for 50–90% of imposed tilts up to ±30°. If the nautilus is tilted suddenly forward or backward, its compensation reflex is 50% complete within 0.3 s, and is complete in 1–2 s. The time course of the responses explains how the eye, during the 1 Hz rocking caused by swimming, can be held fixed in space to within 1–4°. The ocular compensation of each eye is mediated largely by the homolateral statocyst, as is shown by unilateral and bilateral ablation. The effect of ocular compensation is to keep image orientation on the retina fixed relative to gravity, and to prevent large rotational image motions from being caused by the nautilus's own swimming.
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that identification of quality and source be separated wherever possible to maximize benefits and minimize costs, and that the identification of source and quality should be separated whenever possible.
TL;DR: It is shown that if G has genus γ and isk-connected with k ⩾ 3, then c ( G − X ) ⩽ (2/( k − 2))(| X | − 2 + 2 γ ), for all X ⊆ V ( G ) with | X |⩾ k .
TL;DR: The heat capacity of a high-purity sample of acridinium dietetracyanoquinodimethanide was measured at temperatures from 0.5-10 K in fields of 0, 10, 20, and 40 kOe as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The heat capacity of a high-purity sample of acridinium dietetracyanoquinodimethanide [acridinium ${(\mathrm{TCNQ})}_{2}$ or Ad${(\mathrm{TCNQ})}_{2}$] was measured at temperatures from 0.5-10 K in fields of 0, 10, 20, and 40 kOe. The results are shown to correspond very well, within the experimental accuracy, to a superposition of a ${T}^{3}$ lattice contribution and a random-exchange antiferromagnetic Heisenberg-chain magnetic contribution. The Bulaevski\ifmmode \breve{\imath}\else \u{\i}\fi{} theory parameters derived from these heat-capacity measurements without the use of any exogenous data are found to be $\ensuremath{\alpha}=0.75\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.01$ and $A=(1.69\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ ${\mathrm{K}}^{\ensuremath{-}0.25}$. The Debye temperature is found to be 68.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2 K.

TL;DR: It was found that the variable sleepers showed significantly less Type A behavior than either of the other two groups, which further elaborate the possible role of sleep behavior in the management of stress.
Abstract: The responses to the Jenkins Activity Survey of groups of 40 short sleepers, 40 long sleepers, and 40 variable sleepers were compared. As predicted, it was found that the variable sleepers showed significantly less Type A behavior than either of the other two groups. These data further elaborate the possible role of sleep behavior in the management of stress.
