The Impact of strategic implementation on the employees and contractors of the Hewlett-Packard Company.
No full textConducted within the global corporation of the Hewlett-Packard Company, (HP),this research examines employee and contractor responses to strategic implementation. The research environment is a relatively small UK group withinthe corporation that has continuously experienced significant change as new strategies were implemented. Employee and contractor responses to three separate cycles of change are analysed together with data drawn from the wider corporation by using a psychological contract framework, semi-structured interviewing, a research diary and secondary data from the literature and electronic sources. The research is essentially qualitative but draws on quantitative data where appropriate. A case study approach within an action research paradigm is the chosen methodology to allow consideration and triangulation of multiple sources of data relevant to the natural workplace setting. The research has confirmed a change from old or original psychological contracts to new contracts where employees and contractors are more insecure in, and more cynical of, their employment. This change is perceived as a
violation of their psychological contract and is causing employees and contractors to adopt a more mercenary approach to their employment with HP. The special bond between HP and its employees generated by the values and
egalitarian working environment created by its founders has been broken by new leadership. Acquisition of the Compaq Computer Company has further impacted employees and contractors resulting in declining morale and increasing scepticism about its proposed benefits. Indeed the very legitimacy of the acquisition and the leadership of HP are being questioned as HP changes to a new form. According to the founders, the values established that made HP successful in its first fifty years were expected to continue for at least another fifty years. This research shows how changing these values has collectively impacted
employees and contractors resulting in a major threat to the continuing existence of HP in its present form
Tower Blocks UK: Hackney London Colville Estate (Block 11) and Hobbs Place (with Block 2), s42.jpg

The Tower Block UK image archive is a searchable database of around 4,000 images of every multi-storey social housing development built in the UK. The photographs were largely taken in the 1980s by Miles Glendinning and are made available here for public use. As many of the blocks documented and photographed have since been demolished, the archive functions in part as a repository of information on an important aspect of UK heritage that is now vanishing. The archive itself catalogues multi-storey blocks as part of the developments within which they were initially commissioned and built. It gives details of notable dates, such as when local authorities approved the developments and when construction began or finished. Alongside this, the archive provides information on the local authorities, architects, and other agents involved in the processes of commissioning, designing, and constructing mass social housing. While the most historically 'accurate' identification labels in the database are the original overall development or project names, the archive also contains details of the individual blocks built
Analisa Dan Perancangan Cylinder Block Mesin Compressor Tipe SDP 07-25 ¾ HP 25L
Get PDFA compressor is a mechanical device used to increase fluid pressure, both gas and air pressure. The most used compressors are SDP 07-25 ¾ HP 25L compressors. Then Cylinder Block is a component inside the compressor that functions as the place where the piston and ring work to take place to do the work process, suction, compression and exhaust. The emergence of the idea of the process of reproducing Cylinder Block is so that an organization or company is able to produce independently of the Cylinder Block and to minimize costs in the production process. The most basic thing that is done for this process of reproduction / reverse engineering is by doing Machining techniques. Machining technique is the production process of a component in an easy wa
hp-Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for neutron transport criticality problems
Get PDFIn this article we consider the application of high-order/hp-version adaptive discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEMs) for the discretization of the keff-eigenvalue problem associated with the neutron transport equation. To this end, we exploit the dual weighted residual approach to derive a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimate for the computed critical value of keff. Moreover, by exploiting the underlying block structure of the hp-version DGFEM, we propose and implement an efficient numerical solver based on exploiting Tarjan's strongly connected components algorithm to compute the inverse of the underlying transport operator; this is then utilised as an efficient preconditioner for the keff-eigenvalue problem. Finally, on the basis of the derived a posteriori error estimator we propose an hp-adaptive refinement algorithm which automatically refines both the angular and spatial domains. The performance of this adaptive strategy is demonstrated on a series of multi-energetic industrial benchmark problems. In particular, we highlight the computational advantages of employing hp-refinement for neutron transport criticality problems in comparison with standard low-order h-refinement techniques
Evolution of the use, effectiveness and safety of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection between 2013 and 2021 : results from the European registry on H. pylori management (Hp-EuReg)
No full textPublisher Copyright: © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2025.background Bismuth quadruple therapies (BQTs) including bismuth, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics have been shown to be highly effective for treating Helicobacter pylori infection even in areas of high bacterial antibiotic resistance. Objective To describe the time trends of use, effectiveness and safety of BQT in Europe using the European Registry on Helicobacter pylori Management (Hp-EuReg). Design Patients registered in the Hp-EuReg from 2013 to 2021 who had received BQT were included. The regimens prescribed, the number of eradication attempts, effectiveness, adherence and safety were analysed. The effectiveness was assessed by modified intention to treat (mITT). Time-trend and multivariate analyses were performed to determine variables that predicted treatment success. results Of the 49 690 patients included in the Hp-EuReg, 15 582 (31%) had received BQT. BQT use increased from 8.6% of all treatments in 2013 to 39% in 2021. Single-capsule BQT—containing bismuth, metronidazole and tetracycline—plus a PPI (single-capsule BQT, ScBQT) was the most frequent treatment mode (43%). Schemes that obtained an effectiveness above 90% were the 10-day ScBQT and 14-day BQT using tetracycline plus metronidazole, or amoxicillin plus either clarithromycin or metronidazole. Only ScBQT achieved above 90% cure rates in all the geographical areas studied. Using the ScBQT scheme, adherence, the use of standard or high-dose PPIs, 14-day prescriptions and the use of BQT as first-line treatment were significantly associated with higher mITT effectiveness. Conclusion The use of BQT increased notably in Europe over the study period. A 10-day ScBQT was the scheme that most consistently achieved optimal effectiveness.Peer reviewe
Direct numerical simulation of the turbulent flow around an airfoil using spectral/HP method
No full textSince the accuracy of the widely used Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) approach is limited simulating turbulent flow separation on airfoils, we applied a spectral/hp element method to predict the turbulent flow separation at an airfoil for an angle of attack of 12°. The spectral/hp approach allows to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with spectral accuracy on unstructured grids by means of Direct Numerical simulation (DNS). Here we present first results we obtained from DNS of the flow around a fx79-w151a airfoil section for a low Reynolds Number = 5000

Block reduction for arbitrary norms
No full textWe generalize the concept of block reduction for lattice bases from l2-norm to arbitrary norms. This extends the results of Schnorr. We give algorithms for block reduction and apply the resulting enumeration concept to solve subset sum problems. The deterministic algorithm solves all subset sum problems. For up to 66 weights it needs in average less then two hours on a HP 715/50 under HP-UX 9.05
Impact of Regional Block Failure in Ambulatory Hand Surgery on Patient Management: A Cohort Study
No full textInternational audienceRegional anesthesia (RA) is an anesthetic technique essential for the performance of ambulatory surgery. Failure rates range from 6% to 20%, and the consequences of these failures have been poorly investigated. We determined the incidence and the impact of regional block failure on patient management in the ambulatory setting. This retrospective cohort study includes all adult patients who were admitted to a French University Hospital (Hôpital Saint-Antoine, AP-HP) between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2017 for unplanned ambulatory distal upper limb surgery. Univariate and stepwise multivariate analyses were performed to determine factors associated with block failure. Among the 562 patients included, 48 (8.5%) had a block failure. RA failure was associated with a longer surgery duration (p = 0.02), more frequent intraoperative analgesics administration (p 2 (p = 0.03), history of substance abuse (p = 0.01), and performance of the surgery outside of the specific ambulatory surgical unit (p = 0.01). Here, we have documented a significant incidence of block failure in ambulatory hand surgery, with impairment in the organization of care. Identifying patients at risk of failure could help improve their management, especially by focusing on providing care in a dedicated ambulatory circuit
