Abstract Based on the theory of ecological organization, this paper analyzes the operation mechanism of chemical industry park (CIP) ecosystem by means of dynamic simulation. The research shows that the CIP ecosystem is a complex ecological system whose operation mechanism includes two levels, namely individual enterprises and ecosystem. At the level of individual enterprise, there are competition, symbiosis, invasion and other interactions between enterprises in the CIP ecosystem. Through the pre-determined judgment of the competition effect coefficient and the symbiosis effect coefficient, we calculate how the enterprises influence each other, and then generate their respective operation paths, and finally realize the… More >

Abstract Value creation is a major factor not only in the sustainability of organizations but also in the maximization of profit, customer retention, business goals fulfillment, and revenue. When the value is intended to be created from Big Data scenarios, value creation entails being understood over a broader range of complexity. A question that arises here is how organizations can use this massive quantity of data and create business value? The present study seeks to provide a model for creating organizational value using Big Data Analytics (BDA). To this end, after reviewing the related literature and interviewing experts, the BDA-based organizational… More >

Abstract Organizations are currently more dependent on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources. The main purpose of this research is to help the organization in order to maintain the quality of their ICT project based on evaluation criteria presented in this research. This paper followed several steps to support the methodology section. Firstly, an experimental investigation conducted to explore the values assessment criterion, an organization may realize from ICT project such as information systems, enterprise systems and IT infrastructure. Secondly, the investigation is further based on empirical data collected and analyzed from the respondents of six case studies using questionnaire based… More >

Abstract As a real-time and authoritative source, the official Web pages of organizations contain a large amount of information. The diversity of Web content and format makes it essential for pre-processing to get the unified attributed data, which has the value of organizational analysis and mining. The existing research on dealing with multiple Web scenarios and accuracy performance is insufficient. This paper aims to propose a method to transform organizational official Web pages into the data with attributes. After locating the active blocks in the Web pages, the structural and content features are proposed to classify information with the specific model.… More >

Abstract Background: Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) have traditionally been viewed as an underinsured population. Whether this is true in the Affordable Care Act era is unknown. We determined insurance patterns in ACHD patients compared to the non-ACHD cardiology population in a contemporary cohort.
Methods: All cardiology outpatient visits between July 2016 and February 2017 to a large referral center in the United States were reviewed. The primary payer was categorized as health maintenance organization (HMO), preferred provider organization (PPO), Medicare, Medicaid, self-pay, or other. Diagnosis and lesion severity of ACHD were extracted from ICD-10 diagnostic codes and assigned according… More >

Abstract Employee well-being has received considerable attention over the past decades. Little has been done to examine the linkage between organizational socialization and work engagement, one of the most important indicators of wellbeing at work. Drawing upon the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we propose and test relationships between organizational socialization, employee psychological capital, work engagement, and leader psychological capital. Using data from 268 newcomers nested within 36 teams, the results show that (1) organizational socialization is positively related to work engagement; (2) employee psychological capital mediates the relationship between organizational socialization and work engagement; (3) leader psychological capital moderates the… More >

Abstract This study aims to understand how leader narcissism predicts employees’ organizational citizenship behaviors to supervisor (OCB-S). Based on the transactional model of stress, we argue that perceived leader narcissism triggers employees’ OCB-S through hindrance stress. We also consider how employees’ self-monitoring moderates the relationship between perceived leader narcissism and OCB-S. By collecting data from a matching questionnaire survey 48 leaders and 183 employees, we tested our conceptual model using adopted hierarchical regression method and plug-in Process. The results showed that perceived leader narcissism imposed a negative effect on employees’ OCB-S through hindrance stress. Moreover, we found that self-monitoring moderated the… More >

Abstract Workplace deviance is an important problem in organization management. Previous studies focused too much on the influence of various factors in the workplace and ignored the interference of family factors. We integrate emotional social function theory and emotional labor theory, and examine the effect of (in) congruence between work and family status on workplace deviance. Using longitudinal data and polynomial regression, we find that: (1) Emotional exhaustion is higher when work and family status are congruent; (2) In the case of work-family congruence, emotional exhaustion is higher when work and family status are aligned at a low level than when… More >

Abstract Cellular and subcellular organization and distribution of actin filaments have been studied with various techniques. The use of fluorescence photo-oxidation combined with phalloidin conjugates with eosin has allowed the examination of the precise cellular and subcellular location of F-actin. Correlative fluorescence light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies of F-actin distribution are facilitated with this method for morphological and physiological studies. Because phalloidin-eosin is smaller than other markers, this method allows the analysis of the three-dimensional location of F-actin with high-resolution light microscopy, three-d serial sections reconstructions, and electron tomography. The combination of selective staining and three-dimensional reconstructions provide a… More >

Abstract The dramatic re-organization of chromatin during mitosis is perhaps one of the most fundamental of all cell processes [1,2]. It remains unclear how epigenetic histone modifications, despite their crucial roles in regulating chromatin architectures, are dynamically coordinated with chromatin reorganization in controlling this process. Mechanical cues have also been shown to play important roles in modulating gene expressions and cellular functions [3,4]; however, it is still unclear about the mechanical regulations of epigenetics and chromatin organization. In this study, we have developed and characterized biosensors with high sensitivity and specificity based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). These biosensors were… More >
