A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Developing a Typology of Korean Women Leaders' Resistance to Their Token Status in the Workplace

open access: yesHuman Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite remarkable economic development in South Korea (Korea), there are only a few women leaders, and they face challenges in the gendered workplace where organizational constraints and traditional values coexist. In a reanalysis of narratives of Korean women leaders (KWLs), using an ideal‐type analysis as a novel qualitative research method,

“Thinking Out Loud” and “Pivoting on the Fly”—An Empirical Review and Critical Incident Study of How Physicians Engage in Incidental Learning Amidst Complexity

open access: yesHuman Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores incidental learning among physicians navigating uncertainty during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using a constructivist research design, we conducted a literature review of 13 empirical studies on incidental learning in complexity and analyzed critical incident interviews with 12 emergency medicine and intensive care physicians ...

A systematic review of the prevalence, risk factors, and protective factors of posttraumatic stress disorder among paramedics

open access: yesJournal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Paramedics are frequently exposed to trauma and may be at elevated risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). This review aimed to map PTSD prevalence among paramedics, identify risk and protective factors, and scope existing literature on CPTSD in paramedics.

Imposterism and Self‐Efficacy Among Canadian Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Residents: A National Survey

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this national survey of Canadian OHNS residents, imposter phenomenon was highly prevalent, with nearly 80% of trainees reporting moderate to intense symptoms. Female and junior residents demonstrated significantly higher imposter scores, while greater self‐efficacy was associated with lower levels of impostorism.

New Integrality Gap Results for the Firefighters Problem on Trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The firefighter problem is NP-hard and admits a $(1-1/e)$ approximation based on rounding the canonical LP. In this paper, we first show a matching integrality gap of $(1-1/e+ε)$ on the canonical LP. This result relies on a powerful combinatorial gadget that can be used to prove integrality gap results for many problem settings.

Conceptualizing the Street‐Level Bureaucrat Construct

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differences among street‐level bureaucrats—across professions, institutional settings, regions, and countries—are largely overlooked in research. We propose conceptualizing the street‐level bureaucrat construct as a general variable that varies across institutional settings, professions, cultures, times, and locations. We analyze variations in

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

The coarse geometry of Hartnell’s firefighter problem on infinite graphs

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics, 2017
In this article, we study Hartnell's Firefighter Problem through the group theoretic notions of growth and quasi-isometry. A graph has the $n$-containment property if for every finite initial fire, there is a strategy to contain the fire by protecting $n$ vertices at each turn.
