    Notes: The creep-fatigue crack-growth behavior of HAYNES® 188, a cobalt-based superalloy, wasstudied at the temperatures of 649, 816, and 927 oC under isothermal conditions. Various hold timesat the maximum load were introduced to study the effects of hold time and temperature on thecrack-growth behavior. The experiments were conducted under constant stress-intensity-factorrangecontrol modes. Crack lengths were measured by a direct current potential method. Theintroduction of hold times led to an increase in the cyclic crack-growth rate. As the temperatureincreases, the time-dependent crack-growth behavior was dominant

    Notes: In the context of Aboriginal–Anglo Australian relations, we tested the effect of framing (multiculturalism versus separatism) and majority group members' social values (universalism) on the persuasiveness of Aboriginal group rhetoric, majority collective guilt, attitudes toward compensation, and reparations for Aboriginals. As predicted, Anglo Australians who are low on universalism report more collective guilt when presented with a multiculturalist than a separatist Aboriginal frame, whereas those high on universalism report high levels of guilt independent of frame. The same pattern was predicted and found for the persuasiveness of the rhetoric and attitudes toward compensation. Our data suggest that (a) for individuals low in universalism, framing produces attitudes consonant with compensation because it produces collective guilt and (b) the reason that universalists are more in favor of compensation and reparation is because of high collective guilt. We discuss the strategic use of language to create power through the manipulation of collective guilt in political contexts.

    A Self-Categorization Explanation for the Third-Person Effect (2005)

    Notes: Three studies tested a self-categorization theory explanation for the third-person effect. In Study 1 (N= 49) undergraduate students judged the influence of the National Enquirer, Wall Street Journal, and TV show Friends on themselves, relative to low- and high-status outgroup members, and other undergraduate students. The profile of first- and third-person perceptions was largely consistent with predictions, and the size of the third-person effect decreased as perceived similarity to target others increased—but only for media that were normative for comparison others. Study 2 (N= 49) provided evidence for this process with different media and showed that the profile of first- and third-person perceptions matched closely with perceived norms of media consumption—but not the social desirability of those media. Study 3 (N= 64) showed that the third-person effect for the same media and target other shifts with the frame of reference in which the judgment is made. Taken together, the findings are consistent with self-categorization theory and difficult to reconcile with other explanations.

    Dilute to taste? The impact of the working time regulations in the hospitality industry (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Employee relations 27 (2005), S. 532-546 
    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - To investigate the impact of the working time regulations (WTR) in the hospitality industry and dynamics of the employment relationship within the case study firms. Design/methodology/approach - A qualitative case study approach was used, interviewing 18 respondents over two case study organisations. Line managers, personnel specialists, employees and trade union representatives were interviewed in each case. Findings - Both case studies were largely unaffected by the WTR. This was due to both the high amount of numerical and temporal flexibility afforded by large part-time workforces and to harmonious employment relations. The design of the Regulations also brings the Government's commitment to the WTR into doubt. On rare occasions where there was a departure from the basic regulations these were generally accounted for by the many derogations contained within the legislation and were with the full consent of employees. Research limitations/implications - It is hard to generalise from this research alone which is relatively small-scale. The study suggests reasons for the unproblematic nature of the WTR which could be tested using large-scale statistically representative methods. The occurrence of "accidental compliance" is of particular interest for future research. Practical implications - Identifies the way in which the WTR allow "accidental compliance" and would be useful for review by policy makers. Originality/value - The WTR remains relatively under-researched and the study draws interesting comparisons with earlier research. The qualitative approach allows the role of the actors to be identified in determining the effect of the dynamics of the employment relationship on compliance patterns, which covers an empirical "gap" in the literature.

    Rural development in China: Industry policy, regionalism, integration and scale (2005)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 32 (2005), S. 17-33

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - The Chinese government has increasingly turned to industry policy as a means of promoting rural development. These industry policies have not necessarily led to an improvement in rural incomes nor to the achievement of other social and environmental goals. This paper examines ways of designing these policies to achieve better rural development outcomes. Design/methodology/approach - The approach adopts a detailed micro-level analysis of industry policy through the window of the cattle and beef industries. Intensive fieldwork and interviews are conducted with all segments of and participants in the industry in all major beef production and consumption regions. A series of normative analyses examines issues of integration, scale of development, regionalism and specialisation. Findings - Industry policy is a powerful mechanism by which to influence regional and rural development. Improving development outcomes requires that central and local government goals converge and that regions in inland China are well integrated with other regions and sectors of the economy. Large-scale development projects must be carefully designed to avoid displacing individual households from industry development. Originality/value - By crossing institutional, geographic and industry segment lines in a comprehensive manner, the research will aid Chinese decision makers concerned with rural development in the design of their industry development policies.

    Notes: The future of the profession and practice of marriage and family therapy (MFT) rests with those who promote the integration of research and clinical practice. The Boulder scientist–practitioner model is useful in conceptualizing MFT training, but it is not the perfect solution. Four MFT programs (two master's and two doctoral) are featured in this article for their work in integrating research and practice. Helpful strategies presented include: Encouraging students to question the therapy process; integrating research in the curriculum and supervision; discussing the positives and negatives of empirically supported treatments; focusing on change; and developing creative classroom experiences to use within the scientist–practitioner model.

    The relationship between immunodominance, DM editing, and the kinetic stability of MHC class II:peptide complexes (2005)

    Notes: Summary:  Immunodominance refers to the restricted antigen specificity of T cells detected in the immune response after immunization with complex antigens. Despite the presence of many potential peptide epitopes within these immunogens, the elicited T-cell response apparently focuses on a very limited number of peptides. Over the last two decades, a number of distinct explanations have been put forth to explain this very restricted specificity of T cells, many of which suggest that endosomal antigen processing restricts the array of peptides available to recruit CD4 T cells. In this review, we present evidence from our laboratory that suggest that immunodominance in CD4 T-cell responses is primarily due to an intrinsic property of the peptide:class II complexes. The intrinsic kinetic stability of peptide:class II complexes controls DM editing within the antigen-presenting cells and thus the initial epitope density on priming dendritic cells. Additionally, we hypothesize that peptides that possess high kinetic stability interactions with class II molecules display persistence at the cell surface over time and will more efficiently promote T-cell signaling and differentiation than competing, lower-stability peptides contained within the antigen. We discuss this model in the context of the existing data in the field of immunodominance.

    Evaluation of biochemical methods for the non-destructive identification of sex in upstream migrating salmon and sea trout (2005)

    Notes: Female-specific markers of reproductive activity [plasma 17β-oestradiol (E2), vitellogenin (VTG) and alkali-labile phosphoprotein phosphorous (ALP)] were measured over 12 months in a captive population of brown trout Salmo trutta. During the early months of the reproductive season (February to May) and using the concentration of plasma E2 or plasma ALP as a marker for females the proportion of fish in which sex was misidentified was high (15–50%). The misidentification rate was considerably lower (1–8%) using plasma VTG. Preliminary evaluation of a commercial immunochromatographic VTG test system as a screen for the presence or absence of VTG in plasma from brown trout provided results that were consistent with those obtained from direct measurement of plasma VTG levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These preliminary conclusions were verified by sampling upstream-migrating anadromous brown trout, sea trout, and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar trapped over a 6 month period. Plasma E2 levels did not satisfactorily discriminate between male and female sea trout and Atlantic salmon. Plasma VTG levels in both species, however, were bimodally distributed and it was assumed that this divergence corresponded to male (plasma VTG levels 〈10 μg ml−1) and female (plasma VTG levels 〉800 μg ml−1) fishes. Plasma ALP provided a more accurate indication of sex in the wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout than was suggested by the pilot study on captive brown trout. The commercial immunochromatographic VTG test system provided results that were wholly consistent with the data obtained from the trapped fishes by direct measurement of plasma VTG.
