The result shows that the relationship between organizational slack and the performance of pharmaceutical and chemical firms is inverse N-shaped, and task orientation moderates this relationship in the same direction. The results broadly demonstrate that relationships differ based on industry circumstances and organizational slack. Additionally, this study is the first to empirically identify an inverse N-shaped relationship between slack and performance, indicating that, in certain industry circumstances, little and much slack is bad for performance. Moreover, this paper also studies the moderating effects of firm management style on the relationship between organizational slack and performance for the first time. Overall, results highlight the importance of additional research into intervening factors impacting the slack–performance relationship","PeriodicalId":14377,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Biophysical Chemistry","volume":"120 1","pages":"123-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88471331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During treating target sites especially in lung cancer cases, breathing motion may result unintended variations in the dose distribution. Based on image registration, segmentation and pseudo-color algorithm, the work conducts a study on the calculation and visualization of the heavy dose distribution for 3D superimposed conformal irradiation and dose evaluation. Then the paper investigates the respiratory motion effects on the dosimetric redistribution on target and critical tissues during heavy ion radiotherapy. In our experiments, ten patients have been undergone routine free breathing CT scan, two additional CT scans at the end of inspiration and the end of expiration. The results have showed that clinical target volume (CTV) coverage is compromised markedly due to respiration. The paper suggests a real-time respiratory gating system and adjustable dramatic multi-leaf collimator should be adopted in lung cancer cases for heavy ion radiotherapy with small CTV-to-PTV margin","PeriodicalId":14377,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Biophysical Chemistry","volume":"26 1","pages":"103-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74302898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When linked to a gel permeation chromatography system, they become even more powerful tools, providing information on molecular weight averages and their distributions (polydispersity). LALLS has essenttially been superseded by the development of on-line MALLS and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC)/MALLS systems, which have facilitated the greater application of light scattering theory in structure elucidation. For example, the determination of root mean square radii, molecular conformation and structure, branching ratios etc., are now readily achievable. This paper reviews the “theoretical backbone” of light scattering methods and the technology available for use in this particular aspect of macromolecular characterisation.

We proposed a novel algorithm which does not embrace the universal approach but instead tries to focus on local ties and model multiscales of biological interactions in these networks. It identifies functional leaders and modules around these leaders using local information. It naturally supports overlapping information by associating each node with a membership vector that describes its involvement of each community. In addition to uncover overlapping communities, we can describe different multi-scale partitions allowing to tune the characteristic size of biologically meaningful modules. The high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm make it feasible to be used for accurately detecting community structure in real biomolecular networks","PeriodicalId":14377,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Biophysical Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"96-102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76034914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is true in both the rapidly growing cities and in the rural areas. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that more than half of the world’s population does not have access to adequate health care services. This is due to the fact that poor people neither have access to nor could afford the present health care services. Therefore, innovative alternative approaches are needed to solve this problem. Medicinal plants offer alternative remedies with tremendous opportunities. They not only provide access and affordable medicine to poor people; they can also create income, employment and foreign exchange for developing countries. Many traditional healing herbs and plant parts have been shown to have medicinal value, especially in the rural areas and that can be used to prevent, alleviate or cure several human diseases. One of the important traditional plant used in treatment of various types diseases is Boswellia serrata.

Normal hexane was used as solvent for the extraction. 63.05g of oil was extracted from 275g of pawpaw seeds to give oil yield of 22.93%. Lyed methanol in  60% excess was reacted with the heated oil with thorough agitation for some minutes. Fuel properties such as cloud point, API gravity, cetane number, diesel index etc were found not only to be competitive with biodiesel made from other oils but also meet some of the requirements of the ASTM Standards (American Standard for Testing and Methods ) against which biodiesel must be measured and therefore fits to be used as a blend with fossil fuel diesel in trucks and other machineries.

It is an N-methyl piperazine derivative with two benzimidazole groups and one phenol group. It is the best known of the bis-benzimidazole family of minor groove binders. Since the early 1970s, Hoechst 33258 has been widely used as a fluorescent DNA stain because it has ready access into cells. Hoechst derivatives are used in plant cell biology for chromosome and nuclear staining, analysis of nuclear DNA content values (flow cytometry), analysis of plant chromosomes, etc. Hoechst analogues also find uses as radioprotectors and topoisomerase inhibitors.
