The quality of the relationships employees have with each other determines the quality of the work outcomes. Personality of employees effects their roles and responsibilities in the organization. However, personality match between employee/employer has a strong impact on the interaction and communication patterns of the employees, as well as the subjective experiences of individuals which results in different forms of organizational integration and also in managing the interrelationships synergistically. On the other hand, every good employee that an organization fails to retain, walks out the door costing the business money, every poor or mismatched recruit can result in missed opportunities and can severely damage your culture and organizational reputation. Our paper is about how personalities matter in work environments and ultimately results in superior organizational performance. Too much difference among personalities at the work place creates difficulty in retaining employees. Mismatch can cause coordination problems. While matching personalities complement each other which lead to motivation at work place. We propose that personality match leads to positive attitudes. Furthermore, it creates emotional alignment at employee level, which contributes to increased organizational performance; develops emotional integration and a deep collaborative culture. Once all these factors are established the whole organization creates fit or connectedness which of course complements other aspects of emotional integration, collaborative culture and positive attitudinal alignment.
This paper propose a novel approach for modeling the end-to-end time delay dynamics of the internet using system identification, and use it for controlling real-time internet-based telerobotic operations. When a single model is used, it needs to adapt to the operating conditions before an appropriate control mechanism can be applied. Slow adaptation may result in large transient errors. As an alternative, we propose to use an adaptive multiple model framework, and determine the best model for the current operating conditions to activate the corresponding controller. We employ multivariable wave prediction method to achieve this objective.
The 2011 Shaw Prize in mathematical sciences is shared by Richard S. Hamilton and D. Christodoulou. However, the work of Christodoulou on general relativity is based on obscure errors that implicitly assumed essentially what is to be proved, and thus gives misleading results. The problem of Einstein’s equation was discovered by Gullstrand of the 1921 Nobel Committee. In 1955, Gullstrand is proven correct. The fundamental errors of Christodoulou were due to his failure to distinguish the difference between mathematics and physics. His subsequent errors in mathematics and physics were accepted since judgments were based not on scientific evidence as Galileo advocates, but on earlier incorrect speculations. Nevertheless, the Committee for the Nobel Prize in Physics was also misled as shown in their 1993 press release. Here, his errors are identified as related to accumulated mistakes in the field, and are illustrated with examples understandable at the undergraduate level. Another main problem is that many theorists failed to understand the principle of causality adequately. It is unprecedented to award a prize for mathematical errors.
This paper presents factors that affect the stress level of female engineering students. The questionnaire is based on the expectations, which the female students have of their institutions as well as from their families. Randomly collected data from 200 students is analyzed on software MINITAB 14. Six sigma techniques of Affinity diagram, Pareto Analysis, SIPOC analysis, Cause and Effect matrix and Scatter plots are used. It is observed that teachers’ discouraging attitude to take females on industrial trips and lack of class tests during the academic session are the most critical factors. This work can guide the teachers as well as the educational leaders to precisely focus their resources for minimizing stress among female engineering students.
Several competitive techniques have been applied for efficient image segmentation and automatic feature extraction through the literatures. There are a lot of open problems and controversial ambiguities regarding to the mechanism which applied by human eye for image segmentation and feature extraction. Here we have first extracted the human vision technique applied for image segmentation and we have implemented this technique for automatic image segmentation and feature extraction. The features have been categorized into the internal and external modalities. We have introduced the negative curvature minima (NCM) points as a dominant external feature and the textures detected using pulse coupled neural networks (PCNNs) and LAWs methods as the dominant internal feature used by human vision to segment and extracts the features of an image. These features have been used to detect suspicious masses in mammogram images using the proposed human eye inspired technique. The results justify the efficiency of the proposed method.
Present study examines different teaching styles, measures adolescents’ psychosocial development and investigates the relationship of teaching styles and adolescents’’ developmental tasks. A total of 130 students and 45 teachers from three Intermediate Colleges of Rawalpindi region were taken as sample of the study. Two instruments namely TSQ & SPSDI were constructed at 5 point Likert scale and validated through two experts of the field. Their reliability was checked through SPSS at Cronbach’s Alpha and it was found to be .85 & .76 respectively. TSQ indicated that most of the teachers were aware of their teaching style and these styles were given five categories namely; expert, formal authority, personal model, facilitator & delegator style. The teachers having personal model style have a strong positive correlation with adolescents’ psychosocial development whereas expert style has negative correlation.
Dr. Cai Wen defined in his 1983 paper:- the distance formula between a point x0 and a one-dimensional (1D) interval [a, b];- and the dependence function which gives the degree of dependence of a point with respect to a pair of included 1D - intervals. This paper inspired us to generalize the Extension Set to two-dimensions, i.e. in plane of real numbers R2 where one has a rectangle (instead of a segment of line), determined by two arbitrary points A (a1, a2) and B (b1, b2). And similarly in R3, where one has a prism determined by two arbitrary points A (a1, a2, a3) and B(b1, b2, b3). We geometrically define the linear and non-linear distance between a point and the 2Dand 3D-extension set and the dependent function for a nest of two included 2D - and 3D - extension sets. Linearly and non-linearly attraction point principles towards the optimal point are presented as well. The same procedure can be then used considering, instead of a rectangle, any bounded 2D-surface and similarly any bounded 3D - solid, and any bounded n –D - body in Rn. These generalizations are very important since the Extension Set is generalized from one-dimension to 2, 3 and even n-dimensions, therefore more classes of applications will result in consequence.
Based on the big bang concepts - in the expanding universe, rate of decrease in CMBR temperature is a measure of the cosmic rate of expansion. If universe is accelerating, CMBR temperature must decrease continuously. It is noticed that, Bohr radius of hydrogen atom, quanta of the angular momentum and the fine structure ratio - are connected with the large scale structure of the massive expanding universe. In the accelerating universe, as the space expands, in hydrogen atom, distance between proton and electron increases and is directly proportional to the size of the universe. ‘Rate of decrease in the laboratory fine structure ratio’ is a measure of cosmic rate of expansion. Considering the integral nature of number of protons (of any nucleus), integral nature of ℏ can be understood. Obtained value of the present Hubble constant is 70.75 Km/sec/Mpc. Instead of the Planck scale, initial conditions can be represented with the Coulomb scale. Finally it can be suggested that, if the primordial universe is a natural setting for the creation of black holes and other non-perturbative gravitational entities, throughout its journey, the whole universe is a primordial (growing and rotating) black hole.
The Nagaon Paper Mill(NPM) discharges their heavily loaded waste effluents @2100 m3/h into the natural wetland system called Elenga Beel located in Morigaon district of Assam(India).Due to higher chemical diversity of Paper Mill Effluents (PME) it impairs with the water quality as well as endangers aquatic life . The effluent altered physico-chemical and biological nature of receiving water body in a number of ways. Among aquatic organisms algae are the first hand indicators and very sensitive to pollutants. Any change in their environment may leads to change in algal communities in terms of tolerance, abundance, diversity and dominance in their habitat. To prove this hypothesis the present study was undertaken.
Credit sale is the need of every small or big firm. It is really crucial for small firms to initiate credit sale to survive in competitive environment. At the same time, the selection of customers to whom goods and services can be sold on credit is also vital. In this paper, a credit control model is developed for numerically scoring the creditworthiness of existing customers for further credit sale. The model is constructed for small manufacturing firms which cannot handle the extra cost of complex methods used for credit evaluation. Such model will support small firms to rank their customers based upon certain forecasted and current sales values and accordingly deciding whether to give credit or not and how much should be given?
