Using a large national sample based on Workplace and Employee Survey data collected by Statistics Canada in 2001 and 2002, we examined the effects of employee usage of seven organizational work–life interface benefits on promotions. Analysis predicted promotions in 2002 when number of promotions received by 2001 were controlled. The main effect of using work–life interface benefits on promotion...

Knowledge workers manage multiple tasks, collaborate effectively, and leverage the spatial organization of their work area; all of these practices have a relationship to the construct of activity. In this research, I have synthesized data about knowledge workers’ practices, findings from the development and evaluation of early activity-based systems, and theoretical understandings of cognition ...

purpose: web sites are considered as an important tool on the internet and it has an important role in the utilization of students from the internet. in this study, we tried to evaluate iranian schools web sites. method: research population consists of 122 school websites. we used a check list for evaluation of school websites. findings: we found that all aspects of iranian school websites (aut...

Designing user interface has special importance in Virtual Learning. Considerable portion of students’ time is spent in attempting to learn system, work with present lists in user interface and so forth. Perhaps virtual education system has several computational powers, but it lacks adequate user interface. Then, using system would be difficult and user may encounter many confuses during the wo...

recent research in the area of second language acquisition has proposed that bilinguals and l2 learners show syntactic indeterminacy when syntactic properties interface with other cognitive domains. most of the research in this area has focused on the pragmatic use of syntactic properties while the investigation of compliance with a grammatical rule at syntax-related interfaces has not received...

Although critical to health and well-being, relatively little research has been conducted in the organizational literature on linkages between the work-family interface and sleep. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, we use a sample of 623 information technology workers to examine the relationships between work-family conflict, family-supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB), and sleep qu...

The majority of work in auditory user interfaces has focused on adding auditory cues to a visual interface. This paper presents work in designing interactive auditory-only interfaces where the design of the interface is driven by a challenging task -providing access to graphical user interfaces for people who are blind. This task requires that the auditory-only interface must be able to provide...

We demonstrate hybrid organic photovoltaic (HOPV) bilayer devices with very high open circuit voltages (VOC) of 1.18 V based on a sol-gel processed zinc oxide (ZnO) acceptor and a vacuum deposited boron subphthalocyanine chloride (SubPc) donor layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Kelvin Probe (KP) measurements of the ZnO/SubPc interface show that the ZnO preparation conditions have...

Protein-protein interactions play essential roles in protein function implementation. A computational model is introduced in this work for predicting protein interface residues based on amino acid chemicophysical properties only. 17 amino acid properties are selected from AAindex database and used as input features of a prediction model which is constructed by support vector machines method to ...
