TL;DR: The structure of the hydrated Cu(II) complex is determined by both neutron diffraction and first-principles molecular dynamics and it is argued that this picture is also consistent with experimental data obtained previously by visible near-infrared absorption, x-ray absorption near-edge structure, and nuclear magnetic resonance methods.
Abstract: We determined the structure of the hydrated Cu(II) complex by both neutron diffraction and first-principles molecular dynamics. In contrast with the generally accepted picture, which assumes an octahedrally solvated Cu(II) ion, our experimental and theoretical results favor fivefold coordination. The simulation reveals that the solvated complex undergoes frequent transformations between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal configurations. We argue that this picture is also consistent with experimental data obtained previously by visible near-infrared absorption, x-ray absorption near-edge structure, and nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The preference of the Cu(II) ion for fivefold instead of sixfold coordination, which occurs for other cations of comparable charge and size, results from a Jahn-Teller destabilization of the octahedral complex.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the links between employees' satisfaction with HR practices and their commitment to the organisation and find that satisfaction with some HR practices appears to be linked to the commitment of all employees, while the link for others varies between the three employee groups.
Abstract: This article examines the links between employees' satisfaction with HR practices and their commitment to the organisation. It draws on recently collected data to examine these links for three groups of employees: professionals, line managers and workers. Satisfaction with some HR practices appears to be linked to the commitment of all employees, while the link for others varies between the three employee groups. These findings pose a challenge to the universalistic model of HRM and have implications for those seeking to design practices that will improve organisational commitment.

TL;DR: A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme has been developed for the unambiguous characterization of encapsulated and noncapsulated Haemophilus influenzae isolates, finding significant congruence between many of the trees reconstructed from the sequences of the seven individual loci.
Abstract: A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme has been developed for the unambiguous characterization of encapsulated and noncapsulated Haemophilus influenzae isolates The sequences of internal fragments of seven housekeeping genes were determined for 131 isolates, comprising a diverse set of 104 serotype a, b, c, d, e, and f isolates and 27 noncapsulated isolates Many of the encapsulated isolates had previously been characterized by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE), and the validity of the MLST scheme was established by the very similar clustering of isolates obtained by these methods Isolates of serotypes c, d, e, and f formed monophyletic groups on a dendrogram constructed from the differences in the allelic profiles of the isolates, whereas there were highly divergent lineages of both serotype a and b isolates Noncapsulated isolates were distinct from encapsulated isolates and, with one exception, were within two highly divergent clusters The relationships between the major lineages of encapsulated H influenzae inferred from MLEE data could not be discerned on a dendrogram constructed from differences in the allelic profiles, but were apparent on a tree reconstructed from the concatenated nucleotide sequences Recombination has not therefore completely eliminated phylogenetic signal, and in support of this, for encapsulated isolates, there was significant congruence between many of the trees reconstructed from the sequences of the seven individual loci Congruence was less apparent for noncapsulated isolates, suggesting that the impact of recombination is greater among noncapsulated than encapsulated isolates The H influenzae MLST scheme is available at wwwmlstnet, it allows any isolate to be compared with those in the MLST database, and (for encapsulated isolates) it assigns isolates to their phylogenetic lineage, via the Internet

TL;DR: Commonly used methods for assessing status and estimating timing and two relatively recent anthropometric (non-invasive) methods (status—percentage of predicted near adult height attained at observation, timing—predicted maturity offset/age at PHV) are described and evaluated.
Abstract: The search for talent is pervasive in youth sports. Selection/exclusion in many sports follows a maturity-related gradient largely during the interval of puberty and growth spurt. As such, there is emphasis on methods for assessing maturation. Commonly used methods for assessing status (skeletal age, secondary sex characteristics) and estimating timing (ages at peak height velocity (PHV) and menarche) in youth athletes and two relatively recent anthropometric (non-invasive) methods (status—percentage of predicted near adult height attained at observation, timing—predicted maturity offset/age at PHV) are described and evaluated. The latter methods need further validation with athletes. Currently available data on the maturity status and timing of youth athletes are subsequently summarised. Selection for sport and potential maturity-related correlates are then discussed in the context of talent development and associated models. Talent development from novice to elite is superimposed on a constantly changing base—the processes of physical growth, biological maturation and behavioural development, which occur simultaneously and interact with each other. The processes which are highly individualised also interact with the demands of a sport per se and with involved adults (coaches, trainers, administrators, parents/guardians).

TL;DR: This review addresses the need to compare the approaches to achieving the best performance in order to identify their effectiveness in improving gas transport properties and in mitigating aging, and provides perspectives on a few key aspects of research related to high free volume polymer membranes.
Abstract: Hundreds of polymers have been evaluated as membrane materials for gas separations, but fewer than 10 have made it into current commercial applications, mainly due to the effects of physical aging and plasticization. Efforts to overcome these two problems are a significant focus in gas separation membrane research, in conjunction with improving membrane separation performance to surpass the Robeson upper bounds of selectivity versus permeability for commercially important gas pairs. While there has been extensive research, ranging from manipulating the chemistry of existing polymers (e.g., thermally rearranged or cross-linked polyimides) to synthesizing new polymers such as polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), there have been three major oversights that this review addresses: (1) the need to compare the approaches to achieving the best performance in order to identify their effectiveness in improving gas transport properties and in mitigating aging, (2) a common standardized aging protocol that all...
