Making a significant difference with burnout interventions: Researcher and practitioner collaboration

Burnout research over the past 30 years has yielded both knowledge and tools to apply to interventions at unit and organizational levels. Examples of innovative partnerships between researchers and practitioners point to the importance of multi‐level approaches in generating relevant and effective solutions to the burnout problem.

Demography and disappearing merchandise: How older workforces influence retail shrinkage

Prior research on retail shrinkage has taken a largely individual‐level approach to theorizing about why it occurs, showing that older employees are less prone to theft and more vigilant in preventing customer shoplifting than younger personnel. However, given the influence of organizational contexts on organizational behavior, theorizing about shrinkage may be enhanced by the consideration of business‐unit level contextual variables. The present study addressed this concern by examining the relationship between store‐level age composition, whistle‐blowing (WB) climate, and shrinkage in 726 retail stores. Results indicated that the negative mean age–shrinkage relationship was stronger when there was less age diversity or a climate more supportive of WB. Moreover, the negative WB climate–shrinkage linkage was stronger when the mean age was higher. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The many benefits of employee well‐being in organizational research

We undertake three objectives in this Incubator. We begin with a discussion of how well‐being has been considered in organizational research. Second, we provide an overview of the relationship between employee well‐being and such workplace outcomes as job performance, employee retention, and cardiovascular health. Third, we introduce exciting research directions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thermal hazard accident investigation of hydrogen peroxide mixing with propanone employing calorimetric approaches

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), historically, due to its broad applications in the chemical industries, has caused many serious fires and explosions around the world. Its thermal hazards may also be incurred by an incompatible reaction with other chemicals, and a runaway reaction may be induced in the last stage. This study applied thermal analytical methods to explore the H₂O₂ leading to these accidents by incompatibility and to discuss what might be formed by the upset situations. Thermal hazard analysis contained a solvent, propanone (CH₃COCH₃, so-called acetone), which was deliberately selected to mix with H₂O₂ for investigating the degree of thermal hazard. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vent sizing package 2 (VSP2) were employed to evaluate the thermal hazard of H₂O₂. The results indicated that H₂O₂ is highly hazardous while mixed with propanone, as a potential contaminant. The time to maximum rate (TMR) was used as emergency response time in the chemical industries. Therefore, TMR of H₂O₂ was calculated to be 70 min for runaway reaction (after T₀) and TMR of H₂O₂/propanone was discovered to be 27 min only. Fire and explosion hazards could be successfully lessened if the safety-related data are properly imbedded into manufacturing processes.     

电袋复合除尘器中产生氧化性物质的研究

针对电袋复合除尘器前级电场电晕放电有可能会产生臭氧,而臭氧又迅速与烟气中NO反应生成NO2这一猜想,通过对实际工况下电袋复合除尘器中臭氧含量和NOX浓度进行的测试,得出电袋复合除尘器中并无臭氧产生,且NO2浓度也未增加。但烟气中NO2浓度已经接近除尘器PPS滤料在使用温度下(150℃)所能承受的最高限值,PPS滤料会因发生氧化而失效,缩短滤料使用寿命。     

矿用聚氨酯注浆材料阻燃及加固性能研究

为获得压缩强度和阻燃性能兼顾的聚氨酯注浆材料,通过L9(34)正交试验,研究Mg(OH)2含量、甲基膦酸二甲酯(DMMP)含量、异氰酸酯指数、辛酸亚锡含量对聚氨酯注浆材料的阻燃性能及压缩性能的影响。获得这种聚氨酯注浆材料的最佳制备条件。对比分析最佳制备条件试样及不加阻燃剂试样的热稳定性。结果表明:DMMP含量和Mg(OH)2含量对平均燃烧时间影响显著;Mg(OH)2还有补强加固作用,对压缩强度影响最为显著,其次为异氰酸酯指数。在Mg(OH)2,DMMP,辛酸亚锡质量分数分别为16%,24%和0.4%,异氰酸酯指数为1.10时,聚氨酯注浆材料兼顾阻燃性能和压缩性能,平均燃烧时间为13.9 s,压缩强度为19 MPa,其热稳定性明显优于不添加阻燃剂样品。     

理化因素对锰细菌Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus MN1409氧化Mn2+的影响

Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus MN1409是1株分离自锰矿样品的高效锰氧化细菌。为了建立该菌株氧化Mn2+的适宜条件,研究了接种量、装液量、摇床转速、温度、pH值、Fe2+初始质量浓度和Mn2+初始质量浓度等理化因素对其锰氧化效率的影响。结果表明,接种量、装液量、转速和Mn2+初始质量浓度在一定范围内变化对锰氧化率影响不大;而温度、pH值和Fe2+初始质量浓度变化对锰氧化率有较大影响。当接种量为4%,装液量为60 mL,温度为25℃,摇床转速为100r/min,pH值为7,且有一定的Fe2+存在时,Arthrobacter chlorophenolicusMN1409对锰的氧化效率最高。     

水杨酸对镉、锌复合胁迫下小麦幼苗生长及生理特性的影响

在水培条件下,以辽春10号小麦品种为供试材料,研究了10-4mol.L-1、10-5mol.L-1、10-6mol.L-13种不同浓度的水杨酸(SA)对1mmol.L-1Cd2+、5mmol.L-1Zn2+复合胁迫下小麦幼苗生长及生理特性的影响。结果表明:与对照组(未加SA处理的Cd2+、Zn2+复合污染)相比,经SA处理Cd2+、Zn2+复合胁迫下小麦幼苗地上及地下生物量都有明显增高,特别是10-4mol.L-1SA处理组分别增加23.78%和24.7%;10-4mol.L-1SA处理组小麦幼苗根系活力提高6.74%。在试验第6 d、11 d根系和叶片中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)分别达到峰值且以10-4mol.L-1SA处理组最高;在整个试验期间3个SA处理组过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性始终高于对照,其中10-4mol.L-1SA处理组为对照组的146.6%;SA处理使丙二醛(MDA)含量降低,在试验第11 d,10-4mol.L-1SA处理组叶片和根系中丙二醛含量分别为对照组的85.5%和87.6%。但是在试验第14 d各组小麦幼苗叶片和根系中丙二醛含量全部有所回升。综合来看,不同浓度的SA处理均能提高小麦幼苗的抗氧化酶活性且高浓度SA(10-4mol.L-1)处理效果最明显。这表明,水杨酸能够通过促进保护酶活性的升高,抑制活性氧含量的增加,从而有效缓解Cd2+、Zn2+复合胁迫对小麦的毒害。
