TL;DR: A general survey of glass transition phenomena and concepts is presented in an introductory section as discussed by the authors, and the physical significance of computer simulations of glass transitions in simple liquids and the question of a hidden phase transition underlying an observed glass transition are examined critically.
Abstract: The different physical aspects of glass transitions are reviewed and models aiming at their explanation are described. The following three main aspects are distinguished: the degree of stability of supercooled liquids with respect to crystallisation; the variation of physical properties of supercooled liquids in metastable equilibrium above the glass transition; the arrest of structural relaxation at the glass transition. The physical significance of computer simulations of glass transitions in simple liquids and the question of a hidden phase transition underlying an observed glass transition are examined critically. In relation to the stability problem, the geometrical constraints operative in typical disordered structures, such as random sphere packings and random covalent networks, are also discussed. A general survey of glass transition phenomena and concepts is presented in an introductory section.

TL;DR: In this article, the Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terrorization (LIFT) was factor analyzed and led to seven factors in two samples of mobbing victims (N = 50 and N = 99): mobbing by organizational measures, social isolation, attacking victim's private life, attacking the victim's attitudes, physical violence, verbal aggression, and rumours.
Abstract: This article analyses the relationship between mobbing, job characteristics, social environment variables, and psychological ill-health. The Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terrorization (LIFT) was factor analysed and led to seven factors in two samples of mobbing victims (N = 50 and N = 99): Mobbing by organizational measures, social isolation, attacking the victim's private life, attacking the victim's attitudes, physical violence, verbal aggression, and rumours. Mobbing was correlated with bad job content, a bad social environment, and psychological ill-health. The findings suggest that the more social support supervisors gave, the less the victims reported being shouted at, being constantly criticized, and receiving verbal threats. In contrast, the more social support the victims received from their colleagues the less they reported being socially isolated or being ridiculed with regard to their private life. Moreover, having private life attacked showed the strongest correlation with psyc...

TL;DR: In this paper, the linkages of achievement-related boredom with students' appraisals and performance outcomes were examined in a series of 5 exploratory, cross-sectional, and predictive investigations.
Abstract: The linkages of achievement-related boredom with students' appraisals and performance outcomes were examined in a series of 5 exploratory, cross-sectional, and predictive investigations. Studies 1 and 2 assessed students' boredom in a single achievement episode (i.e., state achievement boredom); Studies 3, 4, and 5 focused on their habitual boredom (i.e., trait achievement boredom). Samples consisted of university students from two different cultural contexts (North America and Germany). In line with hypotheses derived from Pekrun's (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions, achievement-related subjective control and value negatively predicted boredom. In turn, boredom related positively to attention problems and negatively to intrinsic motivation, effort, use of elaboration strategies, self-regulation, and subsequent academic performance. Findings were consistent across different constructs (state vs. trait achievement boredom), methodologies (qualitative, cross-sectional, and predictive), and cultural contexts. The research is discussed with regard to the underdeveloped literature on achievement emotions.

TL;DR: It is shown that when population differentiation is accounted for and dispersal is restricted, forecasts of species range shifts under climate change are even more pessimistic than those using the conventional assumption of homogeneously high plasticity across a species' range.
Abstract: Species are the unit of analysis in many global change and conservation biology studies; however, species are not uniform entities but are composed of different, sometimes locally adapted, populations differing in plasticity We examined how intraspecific variation in thermal niches and phenotypic plasticity will affect species distributions in a warming climate We first developed a conceptual model linking plasticity and niche breadth, providing five alternative intraspecific scenarios that are consistent with existing literature Secondly, we used ecological niche-modeling techniques to quantify the impact of each intraspecific scenario on the distribution of a virtual species across a geographically realistic setting Finally, we performed an analogous modeling exercise using real data on the climatic niches of different tree provenances We show that when population differentiation is accounted for and dispersal is restricted, forecasts of species range shifts under climate change are even more pessimistic than those using the conventional assumption of homogeneously high plasticity across a species' range Suitable population-level data are not available for most species so identifying general patterns of population differentiation could fill this gap However, the literature review revealed contrasting patterns among species, urging greater levels of integration among empirical, modeling and theoretical research on intraspecific phenotypic variation

01 Dec 2008TL;DR: The results show that augmenting photographs with already available 3D models of the world supports a wide variety of new ways for us to experience and interact with the authors' everyday snapshots.
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a novel system for browsing, enhancing, and manipulating casual outdoor photographs by combining them with already existing georeferenced digital terrain and urban models. A simple interactive registration process is used to align a photograph with such a model. Once the photograph and the model have been registered, an abundance of information, such as depth, texture, and GIS data, becomes immediately available to our system. This information, in turn, enables a variety of operations, ranging from dehazing and relighting the photograph, to novel view synthesis, and overlaying with geographic information. We describe the implementation of a number of these applications and discuss possible extensions. Our results show that augmenting photographs with already available 3D models of the world supports a wide variety of new ways for us to experience and interact with our everyday snapshots.
