A method for determining the position of FBG sensors accurately
No full textFibre Bragg grating sensors have gained a lot of attention in damage detection and strain measurement applications in the past few decades. These applications include matrix crack detection and delamination tip monitoring in composite structures, crack detection in concrete and civil engineering structures and etc. The damage localisation accuracy of such methods, directly depends on precise knowledge on the position of the FBG sensor. However, this information is not commonly provided by manufacturing companies with such accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to accurately determine the position of an FBG sensor with a low complexity setup. The proposed method offers an accuracy of below 10 μm, and can consequently increase the spatial resolution of damage detection methods.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Signal Processing SystemsStructural Integrity & Composite
Does early success and market dominance help or hinder future innovative capability?
No full textThesis (S.M.M.O.T.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Management of Technology Program, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (p. 65).Many successful innovative companies are acquired and become absorbed into larger more structured organizations. The innovation capabilities of the company change in the new environment depending on the extent to which they are nurtured or overridden. This thesis looks at one particular story of such an acquisition and follows its progress after it has been formally integrated into the acquiring company. More than five years after the acquisition the company's innovation is struggling, perhaps even more so in recent years. This thesis looks at the underlying causes of that struggle, the inflexibility of the larger more structured organization and the resistance of the acquired company, due to its earlier success, to adapt itself to the rigours of a larger company,. The thesis strives to answer the question: "Does early success and market dominance help or hinder future innovative capability?" The author worked with the acquired company, as a management consultant, for a four year period beginning shortly after the company was acquired. The culture then, was strikingly positive and very enjoyable to work in. It had an almost magnetic draw.(cont.) During the years that followed that culture began to be eroded and the atmosphere changed palpably as people struggled with the manner in which new systems and structures were being established. There was constantly a sense of being imposed on by the parent company rather than being support. That eventually took its toll on people and in recent years some key employees have left. Having stepped back from the organization, the author continues to reflect on what could have been done differently along with what can be done today to retain and restore some of that strong company creativity and innovativeness. The author's underlying purpose for doing this thesis, in addition to answering the research questions, is to reaffirm the belief that profitable, successful businesses and strongly held values can and should coexist.by Sinead E.

A study examining the possible relationships between materialism, neuroticism. gratitude and life satisfaction
No full textThis study aims to examine possible relationships between materialism, neuroticism, gratitude and life satisfaction among psychology students at DBS. This mixed study design consists of both correlative and cross-sectional analysis. Participants (n=100) completed a survey including the Materialism Values Scale, the Gratitude Short-form Scale, the Big Five Inventory and the Life Satisfaction Scale. In line with hypotheses, analysis showed that materialism was negatively correlated with life satisfaction, and positively correlated with neuroticism. Gratitude was positively correlated with life satisfaction, negatively correlated with materialism. Gender differences were only found with neuroticism. Age differences (not applicable due to sample). Conclusions must be taken with caution due to the reactively weak significant correlations found. The complex interactions of personality, materialism, gratitude and life satisfaction are worthy of future research. Author keywords: materialism, gratitude, neuroticism, life satisfactio
Can self-esteem and locus of control predict impulsivity? Including effects of gender and age
No full textThis study examined the underlying factors that predict impulsivity; self-esteem, internal, chance and other/external locus of control, gender and age differences. There were one hundred and one participants; eleven were from ‘Bodywhys’ eating disorder support groups, forty were from a national badminton centre and also fifty non-psychology students. All participants were given a questionnaires booklet containing three questionnaires. The first questionnaire was the Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaire, followed by the Barrats impulsiveness scale then finally the multidimensional locus of control scale. Also age and gender were got from the participants. Two hypotheses were supported that self-esteem, internal, chance, other/external locus of control were correlated to impulsivity. Also that other/external locus of control and self-esteems attributed for 36% of variance in impulsivity. There were experimental issues and future recommendations mentioned in this study.

An Irish investigation into the factors affecting bystander intervention to cyberbullying among adolescents
No full textCyberbullying is a growing and significant problem in the technological societies of today
which has significant effects on adolescent victims, such as increased anxiety, depression and
suicide ideation. The importance of bystander intervention is recognised as playing a
significant role in reducing levels of cyberbullying due to the public nature of some forms of
cyberbullying. The current research project examined factors affecting bystander
intervention to cyberbullying. Three hypotheses were directly tested: (1) Female bystanders
to cyberbullying will be more likely to report or intervene in the cyberbullying than males.
(2) Bystanders with higher levels of self-esteem will be more likely to report or intervene in
the cyberbullying than bystanders with lower levels of self-esteem and (3) Bystanders with
higher levels of altruism will be more likely to report or intervene in the cyberbullying than
bystanders with lower levels of altruism. All three hypotheses were accepted. This study
focuses on understanding factors affecting bystander intervention, as by increasing reporting
levels, cyberbullying levels can ultimately be reduced. School and family support was
recognised as playing a role in increasing bystander intervention. Author keywords: Cyberbullying, bullying, bystanders, gender, self-esteem, altruis
The relationship between self-esteem, social anxiety, body shape concern and BMI among college students
No full textThis project aimed to assess the relationship and differences between social anxiety, selfesteem,
BMI and body shape concern; and to examine gender differences in order to fill a gap
in the literature and gain more knowledge of eating disorders. The research was quantitative
in design and used three self-reported questionnaires that examined each variable and
demographics. Results showed that a relationship existed between the main variables but
there was no difference found between the variables in terms of BMI. Also, a gender
difference in body shape concern was revealed and finally, self-esteem is a predictor of body
shape concern. In conclusion, three hypotheses out of four were either accepted or the null
was partially rejected, which builds upon previous research within the area of eating
disorders. Author keywords: Body shape concern, social anxiety, self-esteem, eating disorders, body mass inde

The relationship between social anxiety, self-esteem, satisfaction with life and social networking among adolescents
No full textOnline socialising among adolescents is believed to be associated with levels of social anxiety (Orr et al, 2009; Ellison et al, 2007), satisfaction with life (Valenzuela et al, 2008; Ellison et al, 2007) and, self-esteem (Gonzales & Hancock, 2011; Mehdizadeh, 2010; Kramer & Winter, 2008; Ellison et al, 2007; AOL, 2005). All participants selected (N=100) met the criteria for participating in online socialising and were at the stage of adolescence. In addition to answering demographical questions, participants were rated on Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (La Greca & Lopez 1998), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg 1965) and The Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985). Results indicated no relationship between social networking, social anxiety, self-esteem and satisfaction with life within an adolescent community. However a significant correlation was found between self-esteem and social anxiety (r=-.390, p < 0.01, 2 tailed). Additional findings also reported significant correlations. The study has highlighted substantial use of online socialising among an adolescent population, as well as implications for future research.
