The Feildian, 1945, vol. 37, no. 6
No full textThe Feildian was the magazine of Bishop Feild College, a Church of England academy for boys. The first publication of its kind in Newfoundland, it was established in 1893 with a twofold purpose: to foster school feeling and to chronicle the affairs of the College. Its content included news, correspondence, sports and a section on alumni. Publication ceased in 1960. (Vol. 1, no. 1, p. 2; Euguene P. Kennedy, "Bishop Feild College," Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, vol. 1, 195-6.)Frequency: irregular. Includes advertisements. In its first issue (October 1893) The Feildian was entitled Church of England College Magazine, the title being changed the following year when the institution was renamed Bishop Feild College. The Blue Review issue included in this collection appears to be a new school publication from the mid-1960s

The role of zirconium in microalloyed steels
No full textRecently there has been a renewed interest in the addition of zirconium to microalloyed steels. It has been used since the early 1920's, but has never been universally employed, as have niobium, titanium or vanadium. The functions of zirconium in steelmaking are associated with a strong chemical affinity, in decreasing order, for oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and carbon. Historically, the main use of additions of zirconium to steel was for combination preferentially with sulphur and so avoid the formation of manganese sulphide, known to have a deleterious influence of the impact toughness of wrought and welded steel. Modern steelmaking techniques have also raised the possibility that zirconium additions can reduce the austenite grain size and increase dispersion strengthening, due to precipitation of zirconium carbonitrides, or in high nitrogen vanadium-zirconium steels, vanadium nitride. This review gathers information on the compounds of zirconium identified in steels together with crystallographic data and solubility equations. Also brief accounts of the role of sulphides and particles in general on austenite grain size control and toughness are included
The Power of Imagination---From Stagecoach to Bullet Trains

Predicting Managerial Performance: Testing an Integrated Model
No full textIn today’s complex business environment the role of middle managers is critical for organizational success (Hansen & Wernerfelt, 1989; Ren & Guo, 2011). This is because middle managers must deal with high levels of complexity in the process of communicating organizational goals and directives from top management to line workers and simultaneously oversee operations and communicate performance information from line workers back to top management (Ren & Guo, 2011). Given the complexity of their work, a critical characteristic that research suggests contributes to the level of middle manager performance is general mental ability, or g. While the relationship of g to performance is well established, it is surprising that more research has not focused on the relationship of g to managerial performance, or to potential moderators of this relationship. In fact, we lack a well-accepted model that integrates g with critical personal characteristics as moderators that would provide guidance for future research, and provide practical guidance in the selection and development of middle managers. As such, the purpose of this study is to identify constructs that might be influential to managerial performance, and to integrate those constructs into a model that includes potential moderators on the relationship of g to managerial performance. This study contributes to the field of management in two ways. First, it contributes to current theory by identifying several key drivers of middle manager performance and integrating them into a theoretical model. Second, this study contributes to practice by proposing and testing an integrated model for selection and development of middle managers that incorporates constructs organizations can identify and develop to improve managerial performance
