Recent developments in optical studies of single molecules at room temperature are reviewed, with an emphasis on the underlying principles and the potential of single-molecule experiments. Examples of single-molecule studies are given, including photophysics and photochemistry pertinent to single-molecule measurements, spectral fluctuations, Raman spectroscopy, diffusional motions, conformation...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to measure the level of quality of work life (QWL) among hospital employees in Iran. Additionally, it aimed to identify the factors that are critical to employees' QWL. It also aimed to test a theoretical model of the relationship between employees' QWL and their intention to leave the organization. METHODS A survey study was conducted based on a sampl...

A 'first-passage-time' analysis is applied to enzyme kinetics. It is shown that the residence times determined in this way are directly related to the steady-state parameters and are particularly useful in analysis of isotopic exchange. A simple linear means is used for the calculation of these residence times that makes this method easily applicable to the numerical evaluation of complex model...

Research indicates that the total cost of employee turnover is about 150% of an employee’s salary. Because of this high cost of turnover, the organization that is the focus of this article sought to understand their employee’s turnover intentions and the reasons for the potential turnover. Through a series of surveys, observations, and interviews, it was determined that the location of the comp...

Drawing on theory and research on ethical leadership and ethical climate, we examine ethical climate as a mediator of the relationship between ethical leadership and employee misconduct. Using a sample of 1,525 employees and their supervisors in 300 units in different organizations, we find support for our hypothesized model. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

This paper investigated the impact of organizational commitment and perceived organizational support on the turnover intention of Telecom employees in Pakistan. Data from 230 respondents was used to measure the impact of two factors on turnover intentions. Correlation and regression analysis techniques were used to analyze the relationship of organizational commitment and perceived organization...

The ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates protein degradation in every eukaryotic cell. Recent work has shown that protein turnover mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a key role in synaptic plasticity.
