...for employee well-being and motivation as well as organizational performance. However, team autonomy is challenged when its processes and outputs need to be aligned with actors and factors external to a team. There are likely challenges and conflicts between team autonomy and the need for coherence in...

...stretchable and transparent ionic conducting materials have enabled new concepts of electronic devices denoted as iontronics, with a distinguishable working mechanism and performances from the conventional electronics. However, the existing ionic conducting materials can hardly bear the humidity and temperature...

The influence of the lithium inventory on the performance and degradation mechanism of NCA||Si cells operating at a third of the theoretical silicon capacity is analysed. The lithium inventory was increased by electrochemical prelithiation to a value of 300 mAhg−1(Si). Full-cells were cycled at harsh...

...algorithmic-based market manipulation in stock and power markets has considerably increased, and it is difficult to identify all such manipulation cases. This causes serious challenges for market regulators. This work highlights and lists various aspects of the monitoring of stock and power markets, using as test cases...

...research on power lines and wildlife from the Norwegian Research Council (NFR) through the RENERGI Programme. The project is named “Optimal design and routing of power lines; ecological, technical and eco-nomic perspectives” (OPTIPOL). It is scheduled for 5 years (2009-1013) and is part of the ac-tivities...

... wheat, and rape straw, was studied at various temperatures: 200, 225, 250, 275, and 300 °C. The thermal stability and formation of the decomposition products of the untreated and treated samples were measured by the thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry method. The degree of hemicellulose and cellulose...

...the major aging mechanism in wet-designed cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables causing a reduced lifetime. Several factors affect the initiation and growth of water trees. Without the presence of an electrical field, contaminants or moisture above a certain level, no water trees are observed. In addition...
