Advice networks in teams: The role of transformational leadership and members' core self-evaluations.

This article examines the team-level factors promoting advice exchange networks in teams. Drawing upon theory and research on transformational leadership, team diversity, and social networks, we hypothesized that transformational leadership positively influences advice network density in teams and that advice network density serves as a mediating mechanism linking transformational leadership to team performance. We further hypothesized a 3-way interaction in which members' mean core self-evaluation (CSE) and diversity in CSE jointly moderate the transformational leadership–advice network density relationship, such that the relationship is positive and stronger for teams with low diversity in CSE and high mean CSE. In addition, we expected that advice network centralization attenuates the positive influence of network density on team performance. Results based on multisource data from 79 business unit management teams showed support for these hypotheses. The results highlight the pivotal role played by transformational leadership and team members' CSEs in enhancing team social networks and, ultimately, team effectiveness.

塔里木河下游土壤水分和地下水位变化对植被的影响

Based on data collected over five years of monitoring the Lower Tarim River, we analyzed the variability of soil moisture content (SMC) and the relationship between SMC,groundwater table depth (GWD) and vegetation by using the methods of coefficient of variation (Cv), Pearson correlation and regression. The results of the variability of SMC indicate that it rose with increase in depth of soil layer - SMC in the soil layer of 0-60 cm was relatively small compared to SMC in the soil layer of 100-260 cm which showed a significant increase in variability. SMC and GWD before and after ecological water diversions exhibited significant differences at the site of the Yingsu transect and its vicinity of the watercourse,especially SMC in the soil layer of 100-260 cm increased significantly with a significant rise of GWD and reached maximum values at a GWD of about 4 m. Plant coverage and species diversity significantly improved with increases in SMC in the soil layer of 100-260 cm, both of them approached the maximum values and 92.3% of major plant species were able to grow when SMC was ＞ 10%. To restore the ecosystem of desert riparian forest along the Lower Tarim River, the GWD must be maintained at ＜ 4 m in the vicinity of the watercourse and at about 4 m for the rest of this arid region.     

An ecological analysis of research examining the experiences of students of color in graduate school.

This article critically reviews methodologies and theoretical orientations of 27 published empirical studies examining the graduate school experiences of students of color using Bronfenbrenner's (1979, 1994) bioecological model. Despite the urgent need for evidence-based approaches to increase the number of scholars of color, the findings in this review indicate an inadequate number of studies explaining how to realize that goal. Furthermore, much of the existing literature examined individual-level characteristics rather than how environmental factors benefit students. Specific recommendations for future ecological research are provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved)

基于LDDMA的多用户分集性能分析

针对线性离散多址复用（LDDMA）系统,文章研究在线性迫零（Zero-Force）接收机条件下的多用户选择分集与调度算法。对于用户子集选择算法,遍历搜索是最优的,但它所引起的繁重的计算复杂度,很难在实际中应用。基于此考虑,本文提出三种次优的贪婪选择准则：最大信道增益选择,最大信道容量选择与最大最小后验SNR选择。数值仿真结果表明：最大最小后验SNR准则可以提供较好的BER性能。

异步协作通信中三协作方信道与延迟估计算法

无线通信是采用多节点协作分集方式发送信号的,故具有很大的优势,但缺点是所传输的信号是异步的,因此采用协作分集方式发送信号亟需消除这种异步的影响。为此,给出了块平坦衰落信道延迟估计算法,采用训练序列附加在信息码上作为循环前缀,通过循环前缀来获得已知符号,再利用已知符号来消除异步。结果表明,该方案完全能消除异步,信道估计达到了克拉默拉奥下限,误码率和MRC（最大比合并）方式相同,且带有完全的分集阶数,初步达到了消除信号异步影响的目的。
