Young females' attention toward road safety images: An ERP study of the revised reinforcement sensitivity theory

Objective: This study examined whether reward and punishment sensitivities, as conceptualized by Gray and McNaughton's revised reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST), influenced young female drivers' attention toward a series of positive and negative antispeeding advertisement images. Young females' increasing crash risk is associated with their engagement in risky behaviors, which, in turn, has been associated with a stronger behavioral approach system (BAS; sensitive to rewards). It was predicted that individuals with a stronger BAS would elicit larger N100 and N200 mean amplitudes (reflecting greater attention) toward the positive images. Similar associations were predicted in relation to the fight–flight–freeze system (FFFS; sensitive to punishments) for negative images.

Method: Twenty-four female drivers (17–25 years; final N = 16) completed Corr-Cooper's RST-Personality Questionnaire, prior to undergoing an event-related potential computerized visual task (i.e., oddball paradigm) that included positive, negative, and neutral images as targets against checkerboard image distractors.

Results: Contrary to expectations, individuals with a stronger BAS (Reward Reactivity and Impulsivity) demonstrated significantly larger N200 mean amplitudes at the Cz electrode site on presentation of the negative images than those with a weaker BAS. No other significant RST effects were found.

Conclusions: These findings provide some preliminary objective support for the use of negative emotion-based road safety advertisements for young females. Further, this study provides support for using psychophysiological measures to enhance understanding of traffic injury persuasion.

大跨度公路隧道洞口段爆破对高边坡安全影响研究

为研究大断面公路隧道洞口段爆破开挖对边坡稳定性的影响,以某公路隧道洞口段工程为研究背景,基于Abaqus有限元软件,建立隧道—边坡三维数值计算模型,研究隧道洞口段爆破开挖对两侧高边坡安全性的影响,并分析砂浆锚杆对边坡的加固效果。结果表明:隧道洞口段爆破开挖施工时边坡坡脚处围岩振速最大,爆破对边坡水平振速影响较竖向振速及轴向振速更为显著,爆破时应控制坡脚及坡肩的水平振速;边坡坡面最大振速出现在洞口边坡坡面与仰坡坡面交线位置,边坡坡面与仰坡坡面交线上顶点为坡肩振速最危险的特征点,下端点为坡面振速最危险的特征点;增加锚杆长度对边坡水平位移的控制效果较竖向位移更为显著,锚杆长度宜取14 m。研究结果可为类似工程提供理论借鉴。

筋带密度对尾矿坝漫顶破坏规律影响研究

基于相似理论和溃决侵蚀原理,进行不同加筋密度条件下尾矿坝洪水漫顶破坏模 型试验,探析了筋带密度对尾矿坝漫顶破坏影响规律。试验结果发现:①随着筋带密度 的增加显著提升了尾矿坝的力学强度,但也导致了坝体内的浸润线升高;②筋带密度的 增加使溃口由“Y”型逐渐向“H”型转变;③筋带密度的增加阻滞了漫坝破坏的发展, 坝体位移及内部应力变化量明显减小;④增加筋带密度提高了坝体的抗冲刷能力,减弱 了洪水对蚀沟两岸尾砂的拉拽作用,保证了蚀沟两翼坝体的稳定;⑤随着筋带密度增加 ,可有效减小坝体位移和溃口深度、宽度的发展,当筋带超过2层后,筋带层数的增加 对坝体溃口宽、深基本无影响。研究成果深入探析了筋带密度对漫顶破坏影响规律,在 尾矿坝加筋研究方面提供了科学依据。     

不同筋料对尾矿坝渗透特性影响规律研究

铺设加筋材料作为一种普遍使用的提高土体或坝体稳定性的工程措施,在提高坝 体力学强度的同时,在筋带处形成的混合体也改变了尾矿砂自身的渗透特性。采用理论 分析、渗透试验和数值模拟相结合的研究手段,探析了不同筋带密度下土工格栅与土工 织物对尾矿砂渗透系数的影响。结果表明:土工格栅与土工织物两种加筋方式均会使尾 矿砂渗透系数减小;土工织物加筋在渗流时会阻挡细粒组运移,有效避免细粒组随渗透 水流出,从而降低试件渗透系数;土工格栅则通过横肋对尾矿砂颗粒的嵌锁作用阻滞颗 粒运移,致使渗流过程中孔隙扩展变弱,最终达到降低渗透系数的作用。研究成果加深 了对加筋尾矿坝渗透规律的认识,为研究加筋尾矿坝的稳定性提供了新的思路。     

Is using work–life interface benefits a career‐limiting move? An examination of women,men, lone parents,and parents with partners

Using a large national sample based on Workplace and Employee Survey data collected by Statistics Canada in 2001 and 2002, we examined the effects of employee usage of seven organizational work–life interface benefits on promotions. Analysis predicted promotions in 2002 when number of promotions received by 2001 were controlled. The main effect of using work–life interface benefits on promotions was positive, indicating that using these benefits is not a career‐limiting move. Gender, presence of young children, and marital status interacted with the use of work–life interface benefits. Single parents benefitted less than other employees from using work–life interface options. Altogether, these findings suggest that the ongoing positive effects of conservation of time and energy resources for employees outweigh the initial short‐term negative effects of signaling and stigmatization.
