People who have better relationship and help each other in an organization will be helpful to an organization, because they will have higher sharing willingness. Knowledge is not like the tangible products that we¡¦ll lose them if we share them with other people. In contrast, we can enhance the value of knowledge by sharing. Because human resource strategy is relative to everyone in an organization, and knowledge-oriented culture and knowledge sharing obstructions will also eff...

PWS , Buuterfly

For high-speed laser modules in lightwave communication systems, the butterfly laser modules are widely used. When laser welding is applied to assemble a butterfly package, it is usually necessary to have mechanical elements such as substrates, fiber ferrule, and clips of house materials to facilitate fiber handing and retention within the package. One of the greatest challenges for packaging these optoelectronic components by employing laser welding is to pursue the reliable and accurate joint....

AbstractVasostatin, the N-terminal 180 amino acids domain of calreticulin, induces apoptosis in endothelial cells and inhibits angiogenesis. However, the mechanism underlying the apoptosis induce by vasostatin remains elusive. In the present study, we investigated the role of (1) Fas /FasL pathway, (2) oxidative stress, and (3) nitric oxide (NO) in the apoptotic mechanism of vasostatin in endothelial cells. Recombinant vasostatin was generated and shown to induce apoptosis of bovine aortic endot...

Consumers often have to wait during the process of acquiring and consuming many products and services. These waiting experiences are typically negative and have been known to affect customers¡¦ overall satisfaction with the product or service. To better manage these waiting experiences, many firms have instituted a variety of programs to reduce the actual duration of the wait. However, consumers are influenced by their perceptions of the waiting duration, not the actual one. Th...

AbstractThis thesis aims to analyze metadramatic elements in Shakespearean history plays mainly from the interplay between the actor and the audience. I do not focus on a particular history play but on two characters: Richard III and Prince Hal. Different from most critics of metadrama, I do not search for ruptures in a dramatic text or interpret those ruptures from the deconstructionist¡¦s perspective. Nor do I view metadrama as an established theory when I notice that most cr...

Among Charlotte Bronte s four full-length novels, three are composed in the form of autobiography: Jane Eyre (1847), Villette (1853), and The Professor (published posthumously in 1857). The abundance of first-person narratives in Bronte s juvenile writings also highlights her marked preference for the first-person perspective in telling stories. In fact, due to the vital sense of truth inherent in first-person narration, Bronte is often identified by her readers as the heroines in her novels. Th...
