[source] Mechanism of Laccase,TEMPO-Catalyzed Oxidation of Benzyl AlcoholCHEMCATCHEM, Issue 7 2010Sander Abstract The oxidation of benzyl alcohol by air, catalyzed by the organocatalyst TEMPO and the enzyme laccase has been investigated. To establish the kinetically significant pathways and corresponding kinetic parameters, a series of experiments is conducted with synthesized stable oxidized and reduced forms of the organocatalyst, the oxoammonium cation, and hydroxylamine. The time course of TEMPO and its oxidized and reduced derivatives is monitored off line by a combination of GC analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. TEMPO is found to be regenerated through noncatalyzed comproportionation of the oxoammonium cation with hydroxylamine. A kinetic model is presented based on the experimentally determined kinetically significant pathways. The time dependences of the concentrations of the three redox states of TEMPO and benzyl alcohol are adequately described by the model. The results provide new leads for the development of a practical process for a combined laccase,TEMPO-catalyzed selective oxidation of alcohols. [source] An evaluation of the process and initial impact of disseminating a nursing e-thesisJOURNAL OF ADVANCED NURSING, Issue 5 2009Colin Macduff Abstract Title.,An evaluation of the process and initial impact of disseminating a nursing e-thesis. Aim., This paper is a report of a study conducted to evaluate product, process and outcome aspects of the dissemination of a nursing PhD thesis via an open-access electronic institutional repository. Background., Despite the growth of university institutional repositories which make theses easily accessible via the world wide web, nursing has been very slow to evaluate related processes and outcomes. Method., Drawing on Stake's evaluation research methods, a case study design was adopted. The case is described using a four-phase structure within which key aspects of process and impact are reflexively analysed. Findings., In the conceptualization/re-conceptualization phase, fundamental questions about the purpose, format and imagined readership for a published nursing PhD were considered. In the preparation phase, seven key practical processes were identified that are likely to be relevant to most e-theses. In the dissemination phase email invitations were primarily used to invite engagement. The evaluation phase involved quantitative indicators of initial impact, such as page viewing and download statistics and qualitative feedback on processes and product. Conclusion., Analysis of process and impact elements of e-thesis dissemination is likely to have more than intrinsic value. The advent of e-theses housed in web-based institutional repositories has the potential to transform thesis access and use. It also offers potential to transform the nature and scope of thesis production and dissemination. Nursing scholars can exploit and evaluate such opportunities. [source] If We Produce Discrepancies, Then How?JOURNAL OF APPLIED SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 9 2010Testing a Computational Process Model of Positive Goal Revision Within the self-regulation literature on goals, both discrepancy reduction and discrepancy production are considered important theoretical and practical processes. Yet, discrepancy production has only been examined in a limited number of goal-striving contexts, and the analytical strategies employed (e.g., difference scores) are difficult to interpret. This study extends discrepancy production research to multiple goal contexts where the goals are in conflict. Computational modeling and an organizational simulation were used to test a control theory explanation of discrepancy production. The occurrence of discrepancy production in the computational model and participants was assessed using hierarchical linear modeling. Comparing the data from the computational model with participants' data indicated a good fit. Implications of the findings and methods are discussed. [source] Designing for performance, part 2: Selecting your performance technologiesPERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT, Issue 2 2007Ryan Watkins Strategic plans and performance objectives define the results to be accomplished, but selecting a suitable set of performance technologies for your organizations requires more than just knowing the intended benefits. The systematic procedures described in the article will guide you through practical processes and valuable tools for identifying potential performance technologies, evaluating alternatives, and developing a system of performance-focused activities that accomplish desired results.
