Many neural circuits show fast reconfiguration following altered sensory or modulatory inputs to generate stereotyped outputs. In the motor circuit of Xenopus tadpoles, I study how certain voltage-dependent ionic currents affect firing thresholds and contribute to circuit reconfiguration to generate two distinct motor patterns, swimming and struggling. Firing thresholds of excitatory interneuro...

This study presents an interactive airline network design procedure to facilitate bargaining interactions necessitated by international code-share alliance agreements. Code sharing involves partner airlines individually maximizing their own profits, while mutually considering overall profitability, traffic gains, and quality benefits for the markets in which they cooperate with their partners. ...

Although the therapeutic alliance is a consistent predictor of psychotherapy outcomes, research has not distinguished between the roles of patient and therapist variability in the alliance. Multilevel models were used to explore the relative importance of patient and therapist variability in the alliance as they relate to outcome among 331 patients seen by 80 therapists (therapist average casel...

This paper examines how alliance experience accumulation at the parent firm level and alliance features at the transaction level jointly and interactively shape the termination outcomes of high-tech collaborative agreements. We draw upon the knowledge-based view of the firm and work on governance design to differentiate alliance termination outcomes, investigate where favorable terminations occ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the concept of treatment alliance in the care of adolescents with asthma. METHODS Measures of treatment alliance were obtained from 60 adolescents with severe, chronic asthma admitted to a tertiary care facility, their parents, and their asthma specialists at the referral center. Associations were examined between the alliance measures and multimeasure, multiagent data co...

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the struggling behavior of shackled broiler chickens may be positively related to compression of the shank and the probable associated discomfort: birds with large shanks tend to struggle more violently than do those with smaller shanks. Males are generally heavier and have thicker shanks than females. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that, because the leg ga...

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to research on organizational identity by developing a psychoanalytic perspective. In particular, the author draws on Lacanian theorizing to explore how organizational identity discourse is informed by imaginary constructions of subjectivity. It is proposed that the collective construction of coherent, unitary and definably organizational identity disc...

Research has suggested that alliance experience contribute to value creation in alliances, although mixed findings have been reported in the past. Using the perspective of knowledge integration, this paper explores the roles of a dedicated alliance function and information technology in the process of integrating previous alliance experience. More importantly, it proposes a potential synergisti...
