Marine organic-rich shale is widely distributed in the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation (WF-F) and Silurian Longmaxi (LMX-F), making it an important target for gas exploration development. In order to clarify paleoenvironment evolution characteristics effect of depositional environment on organic matter (OM) accumulation marine Formations, a series geochemical petrological experiments were car...

This article proposes a model of antecedents and consequences of justice perceptions in the appraisal context. Procedural, interactional, and distributive justice perceptions are examined in terms of their theoretical and measurement properties. Antecedents of justice perceptions include due process characteristics, organizational culture, pre-appraisal leader–member exchange (LMX), perceived o...

Leadership is important for nurturing employee creativity. Although how leaders can influence employee creativity is somehow unclear, previous studies show that leadership can enhance employees’ willingness to share knowledge.

Building on theories of differentiated leadership and knowledge sharing, this study investigated the influence of dual-level transformational leadership on three group climates, leader–member exchange (LMX), and knowledge sharing. Using data from 275 employees of 71 work groups in five companies, we found that group-focused leadership and individual-focused leadership both facilitated knowledge...

Here we show that, in vertebrates, these functions appear to be performed by two separate proteins. Lmx-1 is necessary and sufficient to specify dorsal identity and Lhx2 regulates limb outgrowth. Our results suggest that Lhx2 is closer to apterous than Lmx-1, yet, in vertebrates, Lhx2 does ...
