Performance Appraisal is most traditional but widely used method of measuring employee performance on the job, his relative abilities and skills to enable him to take up higher job responsibilities The organizations today are putting increased accentuate on performance appraisal practices to improve employee performance on the one hand and use it as a motivational tool on the other. It is one o...

“Code-Switching”, an important issue in the field of both language classroom and sociolinguistics, has been under consideration in investigations related to bilingual and multilingual societies. First proposed by Haugen (1956) and later developed byGrosjean (1982), the termcode-switching refers to language alternation during communication. Although code-switching is unavoidable in bilingual and...

Congenital cleft-Lip and cleft palate has been the subject of many genetic studies, but until recently there has been no consensus as to their modes of inheritance. In fact, claims have been made for just about every genetic mechanism one can think of. Recently, however, evidence has been accumulating that favors a multifactorial basis for these malformations. Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are bir...

Findings from psychological research on human development carried out primarily in Western cultures may not be universally valid. Research in other cultures reveal hitherto unknown facts and processes. Thus, a cross-cultural approach provides an essential contribution to the understanding of developmental processes and the influence of genetic and environmental factors, for example universals a...

We show that modes of axially uniform waveguides of arbitrary cross section can be made to have anomalous dispersion relations resulting from strong repulsion between two modes. When the axial wave vector k is 0, the two modes have different TE/TM symmetry and thus can be brought arbitrarily close to an accidental frequency degeneracy. For nonzero k, the symmetry is broken causing the modes to ...

Traditionally, the Reverberation Chamber (RC) has been used for EMC testing, but recently it has been developed for measuring antennas and mobile terminals designed for wireless applications. It is a metal cavity, large in terms of wavelength which supports several cavity modes at the operation frequency. The modes are stirred by appropriate stirring methods producing a rich scattering environm...

Drawing from empirical literature on ecological psychology, affective neuroscience, and philosophy of mind, this article describes a model affect-as-motivation in the intentional bond between organism environment. An epistemological justification for motivating role emotions is provided through articulating perceptual context as embodied, situated, functional, positing salience biasing signal a...
