Conducive Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, USAThe article introduces a new approach to managing change in the United States industry.
In the United States, managing change is a subject of a separate discipline called Organizational
Change Management. Organizational Change Management studies and manages human behavior
and the ways to influence it and steer it in the desired direction when a change occurs. In the United
States, this discipline is independent and fairly mature. In other countries, however, this field may be
considered as a part of project management, organizational development, or industrial psychology.
In this article, before introducing a new model for managing change, the author provides a definition
of Organizational Change Management and reviews its purpose, benefits, key pillars (components),
and the risks of ignoring or underestimating OCM. This discussion provides those who are
new to change management with a framework for their understanding of the proposed OCM model.
Next, the author introduces the OCM Capabilities model for supporting change management activities
in a company. The United States industry is going through a transition and is experiencing its
own challenges right now. One of these challenges is a conflict between a growing demand for OCM
services and a conservative approach to funding OCM activities. The proposed model allows companies
to efficiently address these challenges. Target audiences for this article include senior management,
members of the Planning and Project Management Organizations (PMO), training teams,
organizational development consultants, and project managers. Рассматривается модель управления внедрением инноваций на предприятиях и в организациях в США. В США управление этим процессом изучается дисциплиной, которая называется Organizational Change Management (ОСМ). ОСМ изучает методы управления поведением
сотрудника предприятия или организации в условиях внедрения инновационных изменений.
Эта область практики достаточно хорошо изучена и широко применяется в индустрии США.
За пределами США, однако, эта область не является самостоятельной и считается частью таких дисциплин, как управление проектами, организационная и индустриальная психология и
организационное развитие.
Перед тем, как начать рассмотрение модели управления внедрением инноваций, автор
рассматривает понятие ОСМ, значение ОСМ в процессе управления, его основные компоненты и риск, который возникает, если значение ОСМ недооценивается. Это введение в ОСМ
поможет тем, кто не знаком с этой дисциплиной, понять смысл ОСМ перед тем, как начать
рассмотрение модели управления. Предприятия и организации в США нуждаются в новом
подходе к существующим вызовам. К числу таких вызовов относится конфликт между воз-
росшей потребностью в услугах ОСМ и консервативным подходом к финансированию отделов ОСМ.
Рассматриваемая модель предлагает новый эффективный подход к разрешению этого
конфликта. Статья рассчитана на руководство компаний, управляющих среднего звена, сотрудников отдела обучения персонала и отдела РR / отдела по связям с общественностью,
консультантов по организационному развитию и менеджеров проектов

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Megakaryoblasric leukemia with an N-ras mutation and late acquisition of a Philadelphia chromosome
No full textA patient is described with de novo acute non-lymphocytic leukemia of megakaryoblastic lineage with tri-lineage myelodysplasia. This patient was studied cytogenetically and using molecular genetic techniques throughout her clinical course. She had an N-ras mutation at diagnosis which persisted despite a bone marrow transplant, and acquired a Philadelphia chromosome associated with a P190 BCR-ABL transcript at clinical relapse 3 months post-transplantatio
Use of dual-color interphase FISH for the detection of inv(16) in acute myeloid leukemia at diagnosis, relapse and during follow-up: a study of 23 patients.
No full textThe value of dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the detection of inv(16), using two contigs of cosmid probes mapping on both sides of the chromosome 16p breakpoint region, was evaluated in 23 acute myeloid leukemias (AML) in different phases of the disease. At diagnosis interphase FISH detected inv(16) in 19/19 (100%) cases with conventional cytogenetics (CC) evident aberration and excluded the rearrangement in two patients with CC suspected inv(16). Moreover, it also identified an associated del(16p) in two patients. At relapse, it revealed the inv(16) in 8/8 (100%) studied cases. These results were concordant with those of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). From 13 patients who obtained at least one complete remission (CR), 31 follow-up samples were analyzed using interphase FISH. Twenty-nine specimens scored negative for inv(16) and two were positive. RT-PCR detected CBFbeta/MYH11 transcripts in four of the nine CR samples analyzed, being more sensitive than interphase FISH. Eight of the 13 patients relapsed at a median time of 6.5 months (range 1-15) from the last negative FISH analysis. Of the two patients with positive FISH in CR, one relapsed soon after. At diagnosis and relapse, interphase-FISH proved to be an effective technique for detecting inv(16) appearing more sensitive than CC. Prospective studies with more frequent controls and possibly additional FISH probes are needed to assess the value of interphase FISH for minimal residual disease (MRD) and relapse prediction
Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukemia: Cytoimmunologic and cytogenetic features
No full textBACKGROUND: Little is known about the morphological and clinical features of the minority of acute myeloid leukemias (AML) that carry the t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cytologic, cytogenetic and clinical features were studied at diagnosis and during disease evolution in 11 patients presenting with de novo AML. Diagnoses according to the FAB criteria were AML-M2 (3 cases), AML-MO and AML-M4 (2 cases each), AML-M4eos, AML-M5, AML-M6, AML-M7 (1 case each). RESULTS: Immunophenotyping disclosed positivity for CD33 or CD13 and for the CD34 stem cell antigen in all cases tested. Lymphoid-associated markers (LM) were detected in 7/9 patients. In 5 cases the expression of at least 2 LM was seen. In addition, evidence of clonal rearrangement of the immunoglobulin (Ig) and/or T-cell receptor (TCR) genes was documented in 3/4 evaluable cases. The Ph chromosome was found as the sole change in 5/11 cases; the karyotype reverted to normal in 2/4 patients who achieved complete remission. Rearrangement in the M-bcr region was detected by Southern blotting in 2/7 cases. CONCLUSIONS: This infrequent cytogenetic subset of de novo AML appears to be characterized by heterogeneous cytologic features, with frequent expression of lymphoid markers, and by unfavorable prognosis. The combination of clinical, cytologic and cytogenetic studies is important in distinguishing de novo AML with the t(9;22) from chronic myelogenous leukemia blast crisi
Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
Preliminary report of the 2019 excavation at Sveduv Stul Cave in the Moravian Karst
No full textSveduv Stul Cave in the Moravian Karst has been excavated several times since Martin Kriz started the first excavation in 1886. Two parts of the site were re-excavated in 2019. The primary aim was to conduct classical as well as innovative and experimental sedimentological and geoarchaeological investigations of sediments from the discarded spoil heap outside the cave entrance (trench C-D). Intact sediments with a small number of lithic artefacts and a large number of animal bones were also excavated during the 2019 excavation (trench A-B) located under the trench excavated by Bohuslav Klima's team in the 1950s. An attempt is being made using pXRF, benchtop ED-XRF and ITRAX techniques to link some of the sedimentary material in the spoil heap (C-D) with the stratified sediments in trench A-B. Animal bones and lithic artefacts were found in both trenches. Numerous samples were collected for geoarchaeological, palaeoenvironmental and dating analyses and the results will be published in upcoming publications
