Formation and behaviour of dust particle clouds in a radio-frequency discharge: results in the laboratory and under microgravity conditions
International audienceIn this paper we report the first observation on submicron dust particle clouds grown in a radio-frequency sputtering discharge under microgravity conditions. These results have been obtained in the PKE-Nefedov (Plasma Kristall Experiment) chamber in the framework of a French–German–Russian programme. A dust-free region, usually called the ‘void', is observed in the laboratory and under microgravity conditions even with submicron particles. In this region, successive generations of particles can be grown, leading to the coexistence of particles with various sizes. Each generation of particles constitutes a cloud separated from the others by a definite sheath. Dynamics of these clouds have been investigated showing vortex-like motions or independent behaviour of small heaps of particles, emphasizing both attractive and repulsive effects between dust clouds. As these particles drastically influence the plasma properties, the growth kinetics is followed through the evolution of the discharge current

Team perfectionism and team performance: A prospective study
Perfectionism is a personality characteristic that has been found to predict sports performance in athletes. To date, however, research has exclusively examined this relationship at an individual level (i.e., athletes’ perfectionism predicting their personal performance). The current study extends this research to team sports by examining whether, when manifested at team level, perfectionism predicts team performance. A sample of 231 competitive rowers from 36 boats completed measures of self-oriented, team-oriented, and team-prescribed perfectionism prior to competing against one another in a 4-day rowing competition. Strong within-boat similarities in the levels of team members’ team-oriented perfectionism supported the existence of collective team-oriented perfectionism at the boat level. Two-level latent growth curve modeling of day-by-day boat performance showed that team-oriented perfectionism positively predicted the position of the boat in mid-competition and the linear improvement in position. The findings suggest that imposing perfectionistic standards on team members may drive teams to greater levels of performance
Report of an independent peer review of A forest management strategy for the proposed Coquille Forest submitted to the Coquille Indian Tribe by the Independent Scientific Advisory Team (ISAT)
"[T]he [Coquille Indian] Tribe requested that the State of Oregon assemble a team of independent scientists to peer review the forest management strategy proposed by the ISAT. The purpose of the independent peer review would be to: 1) assess the degree to which the two major goals assigned by the Tribe are met by the proposed ISAT forest management strategy, 2) validate the scientific soundness of the proposed strategy, 3) identify any gaps in the strategy or components not adequately addressed, and 4) make recommendations to correct deficiencies or to make improvements in the strategy. In response to the Tribe's request, the Governor's Office of Natural Resources assembled a team of independent peer reviewers and structured the process by which the review would be accomplished. The results of the IPR were presented to the ISAT in a conference open to the public which was held on November 21, 1995 at the LaSells Stewart Center, Oregon State University. Following is a consolidated report of major conclusions and recommendations presented by the independent reviewers to the ISAT at the November 21 public forum.

Team Building PKE 2024: words of thanks from KPP / PM. Ir. Dr. Nor Azlan Othman, Wan Salha Saidon and Norsabrina Sihab
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in and contributed to the success of our recent team building (TBPKE2024) event held on the 6th and 7th of July 2024. The two days and one night spent together were filled with adventure, laughter, memorable activities, and camaraderie.
From hiking over 3km through the lush jungle, tubing down a thrilling 1km stretch of river, to conquering the tree top walk, every moment was packed with excitement. The final event, a delightful barbecue by the river featuring marinated lamb and chicken, was the perfect conclusion to our outdoor experiences. Our tasks during the activities, especially creating those short videos, brought out the creativity and spirit of competition in all of us
How the emission spectroscopy can determine the effects of dust particles on a plasma
International audienceDusty plasmas [1] are found in many astrophysical environments such as comet tails, planetary nebulae and rings or in fusion devices like the future ITER. In industrial and laboratory reactors, these dust particles [2] become a huge problem, particularly in microelectronics. However, these particles could be used in many industrial applications related to nanotechnology. So it is important to study the production of these solid particles.At GREMI laboratory, several methods are used to create dust particles in a plasma. They are mainly based on reactive gases or material sputtering. In this work, experiments are performed in a capacitively-coupled RF discharge in the PKE-Nefedov reactor [3], where dust particles are grown by sputtering a polymer layer in Ar or Kr plasmas.The presence of dust particles in plasmas can strongly change their properties like the light emission. This modification is due to a change in the plasma parameters such as electron temperature and density. Emission spectroscopy is used to analyze the light emission, more precisely to study the spatiotemporal evolution of the Ar emission and the molecules involved in the dust particle growth like: CN, CH and C2. When dust particles are growing in the plasma, a laser at 685 nm is also used to highlight their presence. Their localization is determined by recording the scattered light with the spectrometer. Other diagnostics are also used to follow dust particle growth like a CCD camera and the measurement of the discharge current.[1] M. Mikikian, L. Couëdel, M. Cavarroc, Y. Tessier, L. Boufendi, Eur.

Top Management Team Diversity: A systematic Review
Empirical research investigating the impact of top management team (TMT)
diversity on executives’ decision making has produced inconclusive results.
To synthesize and aggregate the results on the diversity-performance
link, a meta-regression analysis (MRA) is conducted. It integrates more
than 200 estimates from 53 empirical studies investigating TMT diversity
and its impact on the quality of executives’ decision making as reflected
in corporate performance. The analysis contributes to the literature by
theoretically discussing and empirically examining the effects of TMT diversity
on corporate performance. Our results do not show a link between TMT
diversity and performance but provide evidence for publication bias. Thus,
the findings raise doubts on the impact of TMT diversity on performance
