Experimenting With Team Norms in a Marketing Simulation

Journal for Advancement of Marketing Education, 2009
The dynamics of functional groups are well understood and rely partly on a foundation of communally held norms formed and supported by group members. Given time constraints for classroom teams to develop group norms, this research seeks to understand the

Multi-functional flexible 2D carbon nanostructured networks

Nature Communications, 2020
Creating two-dimensional carbon nanoscale building blocks is of fundamental importance, but is extremely challenging. Here, the authors report a facile electro-spraying/netting technique for self-assembly of two-dimensional carbon nanostructured networks

Covid-19 and Functionality: By Providing Social Distancing of Indoor Common Spaces in Residential Building

Journal of Studies in Science and Engineering, 2021
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, people spent on average around 90% of their time indoors. Nowadays, more than ever, with work-from-home commands in place, it is important that they rethink the design and procedure of buildings.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

The effect of openings in URM infills on the seismic resilience of a reinforced concrete building

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
In high seismicity regions, the use of unreinforced masonry (URM) infills in reinforced concrete buildings is massive. In most of them, the openings in URM infills due to architectural requirements cause a variation in lateral stiffness which, in turn ...

Rethinking buildings. Should buildings simply be enclosures that house different functions?

Emerald Open Research, 2020
This document presents BasES, which is a tool kit disseminated as an open educational resource. BasES is focused on the topic of buildings-as-energy services, promoting the knowledge integration to envisage buildings as components of future distributed renewable and interactive energy systems (DRIs).

The interaction of lean and building information modeling in construction [PDF]

, 2010
Lean construction and Building Information Modeling are quite different initiatives, but both are having profound impacts on the construction industry. A rigorous analysis of the myriad specific interactions between them indicates that a synergy exists ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Pre-disaster mapping with drones: an urban case study in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019
We report a case study using drone-based imagery to develop a pre-disaster 3-D map of downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This represents the first drone mapping mission over an urban area approved by Canada's aviation authority. The goal was to

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.
