Positive And Negative Affectivity

Abstract. Positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) are basic traits that affect work-related perceptions and behaviors and should be considered in any assessment of these variables. A quite common method to assess healthy or unhealthy types of work-related perceptions and behaviors is the questionnaire on Work-Related Coping Behavior and Experience Patterns (WCEP). However, the association of PA and NA with WCEP remained unclear. In a sample of teachers, physiotherapists, and teacher students ( N = 745; Mage = 35.07, SD = 12.49; 78% females), we aimed to identify the relevance of these basic traits. After controlling for age, gender, and type of occupation, we found main effects of PA and NA, with the specific combination of PA and NA being decisive for predicting the assignment to a WCEP type. The results highlight the need to include PA and NA in future assessments with the WCEP questionnaire.

Discharge of sewage into the ocean is still a common method of disposal worldwide. Both treated and untreated sewage may contain significant concentrations of waterborne pathogens, such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium, poliovirus and Salmonella. Limited studies exist on the survival of poliovirus and Salmonella in marine waters; however, almost no information exists on the survival of protozoan parasites in marine waters. This study examined the survival of Giardia muris cysts, Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, poliovirus-1 and Salmonella typhimurium in marine waters. The survival of the microorganisms varied according to the presence of light, salinity and water quality (as determined by quantity of enterococci). All microorganisms survived longer in the dark than in sunlight, the order of survival in sunlight being: Cryptosporidium > poliovirus > Giardia > Salmonella.

The electropolymerization of 2,5-di(2-(thienyl)pyrrole) (SNS) on a Pt electrode from ethanolic solution with LiClO4 or LiCl as electrolyte has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). In both media, a quasi-reversible process has been indicated by CV, reversing the scan at low oxidation potentials. Under these conditions, reducible positive charges formed in both oxidized polymers are compensated by the entrance of anions from solution. Elemental analysis reveals that polymers generated at a low oxidation potential by CA contain a 21.03% (w/w) of ClO4- or a 9.56% (w/w) of Cl-. The poly(SNS) doped with Cl- presents higher proportion of reducible positive charges, higher polymerization charge and lower productivity. A much higher electrical conductivity, however, has been found for the poly(SNS) doped with ClO4-. Both polymers are soluble in DMSO, acetone and methanol. The dimer, trimer, tetramer and pentamer have been detected as soluble and neutral linear oligomers by mass spectrometry-fast atom bombardment. The analysis of polymers by infrared spectroscopy confirms the predominant formation of linear molecules with α-α linkages between monomeric units. A condensation mechanism involving one-electron oxidation of all electrogenerated linear and neutral polymeric chains is proposed to explain the SNS electropolymerization.

The corresponding values of the oxidation potentials IE1/2ox and IIE1/2ox (waves I and II, respectively) correlate with the Pickett's and Lever's electrochemical ligand and metal site parameters. This allows to estimate these parameters for the various nitrile ligands, depe and binding sites (for the first time for a FeIII/IV couple). The electrochemical ligand parameter show dependence on the "electron-richness" of the metal centre. The values of IE1/2ox for the ReI complexes provide some supporting for a curved overall relationship with the sum of Lever's electrochemical ligand parameter. The Pickett parametrization for closed-shell complexes is extended now also to 17-electron complexes, i.e. with the 15-electron ReII and FeIII centres in cis-{[ReCl(dppe)2]}+ and trans-{FeBr(depe)2}2+, respectively.

Dating Method

The age of Mars yardangs is significant in studying their development and the evolution of paleoclimate conditions. For planetary surface or landforms, a common method for dating is based on the frequency and size distribution of all the superposed craters after they are formed. However, there is usually a long duration for the yardangs’ formation, and they will alter the superposed craters, making it impossible to give a reliable dating result with the method. An indirect method by analyzing the ages of the superposed layered ejecta was devised in the research. First, the layered ejecta that are superposed on and not altered by the yardangs are identified and mapped. Then, the ages of the layered ejecta are derived according to the crater frequency and size distribution on them. These ages indicate that the yardangs ceased development by these times, and the ages are valuable for studying the evolution of the yardangs. This indirect dating method was applied to the areas of Martian yardangs in the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF). The ages of the selected six layered ejecta range from ~0.50 Ga to ~1.5 Ga, indicating that the evolution of the corresponding yardangs had been ceased before these times. Analysis of more layered ejecta craters and superposed yardangs implies that yardangs in the MFF have a long history of development and some yardangs are still in active development.

Abstract A common method to prepare states in AdS/CFT is to perform the Euclidean path integral with sources turned on for single-trace operators. These states can be interpreted as coherent states of the bulk quantum theory associated to Lorentzian initial data on a Cauchy slice. In this paper, we discuss the extent to which arbitrary initial data can be obtained in this way. We show that the initial data must be analytic and define the subset of it that can be prepared by imposing bulk regularity. Turning this around, we show that for generic analytic initial data the corresponding Euclidean section contains singularities coming from delta function sources in the bulk. We propose an interpretation of these singularities as non-perturbative objects in the microscopic theory.
