Mutuality and Reciprocity in the Psychological Contracts of Employees and Employers.

The authors assessed the joint perceptions of the employee and his or her employer to examine mutuality and reciprocity in the employment relationship. Paired psychological contract reports were obtained from 80 employee-employer dyads in 16 university-based research centers. On the basis of in-depth study of the research setting, research directors were identified as primary agents for the university (employer) in shaping the terms of employment of staff scientists (employees). By assessing the extent of consistency between employee and employer beliefs regarding their exchange agreement, the present study mapped the variation and consequences of mutuality and reciprocity in psychological contracts. Results indicate that both mutuality and reciprocity are positively related to archival indicators of research productivity and career advancement, in addition to self-reported measures of Met Expectations and intention to continue working with the employer. Implications for psychological contract theory are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

大牛地气田大12-大66井区沉积微相与储层产能关系

以大牛地气田大12—大66井区为研究对象,基于物质供给和沉积水动力条件、河道结构与特征,探讨了沉积微相纵向结构与产能分布之间的成因关系,沉积微相横向结构与产能分布之间的内在关系。研究表明,物质供给和沉积水动力条件的组合关系是影响沉积微相纵向产能分布规律,其中物质供给充分、稳定的强水动力条件下,主要为中高产气层;分流河道微相中心位置,测试产能相对稳定,中高产气层分布比较多。分流河道微相边部,测试产能有不稳定的特点。两个强水动力沉积的河道交汇处,是中、高产气层的密集发育区。另外,曲流化的固定河道,因复杂化而形状变化大、难钻遇,但潜力大。不稳定河道,储层整体产能低,但强水动力沉积区仍具挖潜价值。研究结果与大12—大66井区生产测试结果吻合。     

Energy productivity and Chinese local officials’ promotions: Evidence from provincial governors

Improving energy productivity is one of the most cost-effective ways to achieve a sustainable development target. The existing literature has shown some factors that have driven the improvement in China’s energy productivity. However, these studies do little to tackle the role of Chinese local officials. Political promotions can be seen as the most important career incentive for Chinese local officials. Hence, we intend to study whether energy productivity affects Chinese local officials’ promotions in this paper. The data of position changes for the 31 provincial governors during 1978‐2012 are utilized. We adopted probit models to empirically examine the correlation between provincial governors’ political promotions and energy productivity. The empirical results demonstrate that (1) energy productivity has a significantly positive impact on provincial governors’ political promotions in China, meaning that the provincial governors have the momentum to improve energy productivity; and (2) the effect of energy productivity on provincial governors’ political promotions has evolved, dynamically changing along with the transformation of the economic growth mode and the adjustment of the local officials’ promotion mechanism. The results are helpful in understanding the drivers of the improvement in China’s energy productivity and provide insightful implications for conducting energy policy in China.     

Vision-based action recognition of earthmoving equipment using spatio-temporal features and support vector machine classifiers

Video recordings of earthmoving construction operations provide understandable data that can be used for benchmarking and analyzing their performance. These recordings further support project managers to take corrective actions on performance deviations and in turn improve operational efficiency. Despite these benefits, manual stopwatch studies of previously recorded videos can be labor-intensive, may suffer from biases of the observers, and are impractical after substantial period of observations. This paper presents a new computer vision based algorithm for recognizing single actions of earthmoving construction equipment. This is particularly a challenging task as equipment can be partially occluded in site video streams and usually come in wide variety of sizes and appearances. The scale and pose of the equipment actions can also significantly vary based on the camera configurations. In the proposed method, a video is initially represented as a collection of spatio-temporal visual features by extracting space–time interest points and describing each feature with a Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). The algorithm automatically learns the distributions of the spatio-temporal features and action categories using a multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. This strategy handles noisy feature points arisen from typical dynamic backgrounds. Given a video sequence captured from a fixed camera, the multi-class SVM classifier recognizes and localizes equipment actions. For the purpose of evaluation, a new video dataset is introduced which contains 859 sequences from excavator and truck actions. This dataset contains large variations of equipment pose and scale, and has varied backgrounds and levels of occlusion. The experimental results with average accuracies of 86.33% and 98.33% show that our supervised method outperforms previous algorithms for excavator and truck action recognition. The results hold the promise for applicability of the proposed method for construction activity analysis.     

CO2 welding with an additional cold filler wire

The results of investigations carried out to improve the quality of the CO₂ welding process with an additional filler wire (AFW), fed into the tail part of the molten pool in the cold state, are presented. The effect of the AFW on the quality of the produced bead is studied. The results of metallographic studies of the welded joint and also of the impact bend test are presented. When using the AFW, the quality of the welded joint is considerably higher with better external appearance of the welded joint, and the productivity of the process is also increased.     

A spatial decomposition of the shift-share components of labour productivity inequality in Italy

This paper explores the components of aggregate labour productivity inequality between Italian regions from 2000 to 2013. The Gini index of inequality in aggregate labour productivity is decomposed, showing the extent to which sector productivity differentials and differences in industry-mix contribute to regional productivity inequality. In addition, the contribution of the interaction between differences in industry-mix and sector productivity differentials is revealed by the decomposition. Each of these contributions to inequality is measured by considering the spatial dimension of regional inequality, since the contributions of inequality between non-neighbouring regions and inequality between neighbouring regions are separated.     

Service quality,technical efficiency and total factor productivity growth in Pakistan's post-reform electricity distribution companies

Pakistan's energy sector has undergone substantial reforms during the last three decades with the aim to improve its operational performance and to cater to the growing energy needs of the economy. In the wake of these reforms, the WAPDA Act was passed in 1998 to achieve operational and financial efficiencies. Pakistan's electricity market is still hampered by issues like extended blackouts, electricity thefts, high circular debt and poor service quality. The electricity distribution sector is thus an interesting case to investigate its efficiency in the post-reform period by examining the impact of service-quality parameters (SQPs), which have generally been neglected in the literature. Stochastic frontier analysis has been used to estimate technical efficiency, while the Malmquist Productivity Index is implemented to decompose total factor productivity (TFP) into scale change, technical change and efficiency change from 2006 to 2016. We conclude that the technical efficiency score declines from 98 percent to 36 percent with the inclusion of SQPs in the models. The results also indicate a negative trend in scale change, implying that distribution companies are not operating at the technically optimal scale. We propose that the regulatory body should change its governance regime and focus on incentive-based regulation instead of rate-of-return regulation.     

考虑应力敏感的致密气藏水平井产能计算方法

除启动压力梯度外致密气藏还存在应力敏感,在实验确定应力敏感参数的基础上,引入虚拟裂缝概念,利用保角变换方法,考虑应力敏感和启动压力梯度建立了气藏水平井产能方程,同时分析了应力敏感、启动压力梯度、水平井长度等对产能的影响。结果表明:产能方程与试采产能的误差小于7%,验证了产能方程的可靠性;应力敏感和启动压力梯度均使产能降低,其中应力敏感占主要作用;应力敏感在低井底流压时对产能影响严重,启动压力梯度在高井底流压时对产能影响较大;水平井长度是影响产能的主控因素。该研究丰富了致密气藏水平井产能计算方法,并为水平井长度和生产压差的优化提供了理论指导。
