The impact of employee communication and perceived external prestige on organizational identification
Description :
Employees' Organizational Identification (OI) is measured in a customer service organization. Particularly the effects of employee communication and perceived external prestige (PEP) on OI were evaluated. Results show that employee communication affects OI more strongly than PEP. One aspect of emplo...

An Equilibrium-Correction Model for Dynamic Network Data
Description :
We propose a two-stage MRQAP to analyze dynamic network data, within the framework of an equilibrium-correction (EC) model. Extensive simulation results indicate practical relevance of our method and its improvement over standard OLS. An empirical illustration additionally shows that the EC model yi...

A study of the adjustment of Western expatriates in Taiwan ROC with the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire (MPQ)
Description :
The present paper examined the validity of the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). As criteria of validity three levels of adjustment were used. The study took place among a sample of expatriates (N = 102) during their assignment in Taiwan. The MPQ has scales for cultural empathy, open-mi...

Description :
Important characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
include airway and vascular remodeling, the molecular mechanisms of which
are poorly understood. We assessed the role of fibroblast growth factors
(FGF) in pulmonary vascular remodeling by examining the expre...

Description :
Two lipid transfer proteins are active in human plasma, cholesteryl ester
transfer protein (CETP), and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Mice by
nature do not express CETP. Additional inactivation of the PLTP gene
resulted in reduced secretion of VLDL and subsequently in decrea...

Molecular epidemiology of pneumococcal carriage among children with upper respiratory tract infections in Hanoi, Vietnam
Description :
To investigate the molecular epidemiology of pneumococcal nasopharyngeal
carriage in Hanoi, Vietnam, we studied 84 pneumococcal strains retrieved
from children with upper respiratory tract infections. Serotypes 23F
(32%), 19F (21%), 6B (13%), and 14 (10%) were found most often. A

Description :
Because minimal information is available about surfactant metabolism in
bronchopulmonary dysplasia, we measured half-lives and pool sizes of
surfactant phosphatidylcholine in very preterm baboons recovering from
respiratory distress syndrome and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasi...

Description :
The interrupter technique is a convenient and sensitive technique for
studying airway function in subjects who cannot actively participate in
(forced) ventilatory function tests. Reference values for preschool
children exist but are lacking for children >7 yrs. Reference values wer...

Description :
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FENO) depends on exhalation
flow; however, children often are unable to perform controlled flow
procedures. Therefore, a device was developed for off-line FENO sampling,
with dynamic flow restriction (DFR). The authors compared off-lin...

Regulation of ovarian function: the role of anti-Mullerian hormone
Description :
Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), also known as Mullerian inhibiting
substance, is a member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily
of growth and differentiation factors. In contrast to other members of the
family, which exert a broad range of functions in multiple tissues, ...
