The role and impact of trade unions on the implementation of change in South African organizations
, 2012 M.B.A. The research looks at the role of trade unions in the implementation of change in organizations and some of the factors that determine the success or failure of these initiatives. The need for this research came as a result of the many stand off's experienced between management and trade unions operating in organizations. The research focuses on

Lead‐Free Chiral Hybrid Metal Halides for Circularly Polarized Light‐Emitting Diodes
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Lead‐free chiral hybrid metal halides provide a versatile platform for realizing chiroptical responses through chiral modulation of metal–halide frameworks with diverse dimensionalities, induces inversion‐symmetry breaking and enables dissymmetric excited‐state transitions toward efficient circularly polarized luminescence and electroluminescence. This

Digital Twin of a One‐Sun‐Driven Luminescent‐Concentrator‐Assisted Planar Solar‐Pumped Fiber Laser
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.An experimentally‐validated digital twin of a one‐sun solar‐pumped fiber laser enables a design exhibit 13‐times higher output power at 1064 nm to be achieved. Despite its simple appearance, the multitude of choices in the design parameters make finding this improved very tedious in the lab, thus the digital twin can save significant time and effort ...

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Introducing a 5‐phenylbenzo[b]thiophene unit into the DABNA core lowers the T1 level, enlarging the ΔEST to suppress TADF. This molecular design preserves narrow deep‐blue emission while drastically reducing triplet‐related degradation. Consequently, the resulting emitter, BN‐TPh‐TPA, delivers a threefold operational lifetime over the TADF‐active t ...

An AI‐Enabled All‐In‐One Visual, Proximity, and Tactile Perception Multimodal Sensor
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Targeting integrated multimodal perception of robots, an AI‐enabled all‐in‐one multimodal sensor is proposed. This sensor is capable of perceiving three types of modalities, including vision, proximity, and tactility. By toggling an ultraviolet light and adjusting the camera focus, it switches smoothly between multiple perceptual modalities, enabling ...
