STS payload ground handling mechanism at John F. Kennedy Space Center [PDF]

, 1985
The payload ground handling mechanism (PGHM), which lifts payloads out of the payload canister that brings them to the launch pad, is described. The PGHM then loads the payloads into the orbiter through the open payload bay doors.

Causal Mechanisms in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Management: A Meta‐Synthesis of Micro‐CSR Research

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Much psychologically oriented micro‐CSR research emphasizes intra‐individual processes, leading to a relative omission of the role of interactions among individuals in managing CSR. This limitation hinders the potential of such micro‐CSR research to explain CSR as an organizational‐level outcome.

Intentionality and Attentionality Dynamics in an Institutional Change Process

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we explore how actors' intentionality emerges, develops, and co‐evolves with institutional change. Although intentions are essential in shaping institutional change agents' motivations and actions, our understanding of their dynamics is limited and biased by the assumption that intentions are usually identifiable prior to ...

Carbon Populism and Representative Politics: On Why Fossil Fuel Firms Speaking for ‘The People’ Is a Bad Idea

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite growing recognition that countries around the world must transition to a low‐carbon economy, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. One way that decarbonization has been obstructed, we argue, is by fossil fuel firms intentionally conflating their agenda with ‘the people’, evoking notions of national identity, security and ...

Navigating troubled waters: Posthumanist vulnerability and entanglement in Richard Powers's Playground (2024)

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Richard Powers's most recent novels to date—The Overstory (2018), Bewilderment (2021), and Playground (2024)—engage with some of the environmental and technological threats that loom over our planet, such as deforestation, species loss, the degradation of the ocean bottom, and the risks associated with the development of generative AI ...

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory: An Approach Based On Pan-Protopsychism [PDF]

, 2002
As an alternative to our original dualistic approach, we present here our spin-mediated consciousness theory based on pan-protopsychism. We postulate that consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum mechanical spin since said spin is embedded in ...

Similar Relative Carbon Costs for Construction and Storage of Sun and Shade Branches in Mature Temperate Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irradiance strongly affects the morphology, carbon (C) uptake and construction costs of leaves and branches. Within tree crowns, light decreases from the top downwards, but whether this translates to differences in the C balance of sun and shade branches remains unclear. Here, we combined a light‐driven photosynthesis model, parameterised with

The European contribution to osseous resective surgery for the treatment of residual pockets and furcation defects

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract For decades, osseous resective surgery along with apically positioned flap procedure has been advocated as a predictable treatment option to reduce residual pockets and minimize periodontal complications during supportive periodontal care. More recently, Fiber Retention Osseous Resective Surgery (FibReORS) has been suggested to reduce the ...
