This chapter examines the empirical effect of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on employees’ knowledge-sharing behaviour in Pakistan. A research model is developed for this chapter and hypotheses are formulated. The research sample is comprised of 390 respondents from 19 Knowledge Intensive Firms (KIFs) in Pakistan. The authors have employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique...

BACKGROUND Craniofacial growth pattern has been correlated with variations in size of the upper airway spaces. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal airway spaces variations according to the craniofacial growth pattern, by comparing brachyfacial, mesofacial, and dolichofacial in Angle Class I individuals. METHODS To measure the space...

Ithas been nearly 50 years since I started doingmolecular biology as a graduate student in the Department of Biophysics at The Johns Hopkins University. I am still doing molecular biology, but I now findmyself just as interested in geology; and although I will never really be a geologist, I have been on some fascinating field trips in the past eight years to South Africa, Namibia, Oman, Austral...

I could say that the feeling of editing this interview is astonishing. I met Dr. Jim Boley when I was only 10 years old.

METHODS The sample was constituted of 44 Caucasian patients (26 girls and 18 boys), divided in two groups: CG, control group, monitoring the lower arch space with no orthodontic/orthopedic treatment during the ra...

Recent investigations of the three-dimensional (3D) binocular eye positions in near vision have shown that a full characterization of vergence requires incorporation of its torsional component. The latter has a proportional relationship with horizontal vergence and elevation, causing the eyes to have intorsion in near upgaze but extorsion in near downgaze. In this study, we focus on the dynamic...
