The concept of work style denotes the unique, idiosyncratic stylistic variations in how one works, variations which override the demands of the job and which express the person in relation to the ...task. 5 dimensions of work style are defined in the context of the role of early work experience in personality development. 52 white 8-14 yr. old males who worked at a variety of part-time jobs were rated on these dimensions on the basis of extensive interview data. Ratings correlated positively with both the pervasiveness and intensity of hostility expressed in imaginative though products (TAT stories). The relation between work-style dimensions and hostility expression is examined in the context of psychoanalytic ego-psychology theory.
Contends that most content analysts of psychotherapy materials have failed to consider the possibility that the frequency of units coded to the categories of the content analysis system might be ...correlated with the total number of units produced. The existence of such relationships may confound interpretation of the association between content analysis variables and other external variables. When investigators have attempted to control for response productivity, they have usually divided the frequency of units in each category by the total number of units. This procedure does not control for response productivity and is often uninterpretable. The issues involved are discussed and demonstrated, and appropriate techniques of controlling for productivity are described. (43 ref)
We present the maps, source catalogue and number counts of the largest, most complete and unbiased extragalactic submillimetre survey ever undertaken: the 850-micron SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic ...Survey (SHADES). Using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), SHADES mapped two separate regions of sky: the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (SXDF) and the Lockman Hole East (LH). These SCUBA maps cover 720 square arcmin with an RMS noise level of about 2 mJy and have uncovered >100 submillimetre galaxies. In order to ensure the utmost robustness of the resulting source catalogue, data reduction was independently carried out by four sub-groups drawn within the SHADES team, providing an unprecedented degree of reliability with respect to other SCUBA catalogues available from the literature. Individual source lists from the four groups were combined to produce a robust 120-object SHADES catalogue; an invaluable resource for follow-up campaigns aiming to study the properties of a complete and consistent sample of submillimetre galaxies. We present differential and integral source number counts of submillimetre galaxies and find that the differential counts are better fit with a broken power-law or a Schechter function than with a single power-law; the SHADES data alone significantly show that a break is required at several mJy, although the precise position of the break is not well constrained. We also find that an 850-micron survey complete down to 2 mJy would resolve 20-30 per cent of the Far-IR background into point sources. abridged
For practical reasons, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) has to be measured over a particular temperature range, for example 20–120
°C, 20–400
°C or 500–700
°C. However, in many cases, ...engineers or scientists involved in the assessment of graphite components such as nuclear reactor moderator bricks, electrodes or moulds require CTE over temperature ranges other than that of the original measurement. This paper compares three different techniques used to convert CTE from one temperature range to another. The method used by the UK nuclear industry is compared with techniques proposed by two international companies. There was close agreement between two of the methods. However there was some divergence in the case of the third method. This may be related to the type of graphite (fine-grain) for which the third method was developed.
Zeeman–Doppler imaging (ZDI) has successfully mapped the large-scale magnetic fields of stars over a large range of spectral types, rotation periods and ages. When observed over multiple epochs, some ...stars show polarity reversals in their global magnetic fields. On the Sun, polarity reversals are a feature of its activity cycle. In this paper, we examine the magnetic properties of stars with existing chromospherically determined cycle periods. Previous authors have suggested that cycle periods lie on multiple branches, either in the cycle period–Rossby number plane or the cycle period–rotation period plane. We find some evidence that stars along the active branch show significant average toroidal fields that exhibit large temporal variations while stars exclusively on the inactive branch remain dominantly poloidal throughout their entire cycle. This lends credence to the idea that different shear layers are in operation along each branch. There is also evidence that the short magnetic polarity switches observed on some stars are characteristic of the inactive branch while the longer chromospherically determined periods are characteristic of the active branch. This may explain the discrepancy between the magnetic and chromospheric cycle periods found on some stars. These results represent a first attempt at linking global magnetic field properties obtained from ZDI and activity cycles.
