An examination of the professional socialisation process is critical in changing the way graduates are trained and how they are supported post graduation. This article summarises key mechanisms to facilitate socialisation from recent socialisation studies undertaken in the fields of medicine, physical therapy nursing, occupational therapy, and certified athletic coaches. The article outlines the design of a survey of undergraduate university property program directors in the Pacific Rim to determine their awareness of professional socialisation and how the development of graduates' professional socialisation is accommodated at orientation and in subsequent years of their program.

The latest Eocene-early Oligocene White River sequence of the Great Plains and central Rocky Mountains contains numerous, widespread tuff beds. These tuffs, which range in age between 36 to 30 Ma, can be recognized over large areas of Wyoming, northern Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota. To date, however, the tuffs have generally been used only for local, not regional, correlations. The volcanic sources for these tuffs have been conjectural. The results of the authors' study of the stratigraphy, mineralogy, and geochemistry of 27 of these tuffs suggest source regions primarily in the Great Basin and secondarily in Colorado. The tuffs were correlated by a combination of methods, including single-crystal [sup 40]Ar/[sup 39]Ar dating, determination of mineral suites, microprobe analysis of mineral species and glass, and relation of the tuffs to previously determined bio- and magnetostratigraphies. The tuffs include rhyolitic, rhyo-dacitic, dacitic, and andesitic compositions, in decreasing order of abundance. A major shift in tuff compositions from predominantly rhyolite or rhyo-dacite to dacite occurred about 32 Ma. Mineral grain sizes in 10 of the most widespread tuffs show a decrease to the east and north, indicating wind transport to the northeast. Northeast-trending margins of several of the tuffs indicate a similarmore » transport direction. So far, only one tuff can be correlated to a major eruption from a Colorado vent. With this exception, the radiometric dates and compositions of all the tuffs suggest a source region in Utah and Nevada.« less


We perform a complete calculation at the one-loop level for the Zggg and Z'ggg couplings in the context of the minimal 331 model, which predicts the existence of a new Z' gauge boson and new exotic quarks. Bose symmetry is exploited to write a compact and manifest SU_C(3)-invariant vertex function for the Vggg (V=Z,Z') coupling. Previous results on the $Z\to ggg$ decay in the standard model are reproduced. It is found that this decay is insensitive to the effects of the new exotic quarks. This in contrast with the $Z'\to ggg$ decay, which is sensitive to both the standard model and exotic quarks, whose branching ratio is larger than that of the $Z\to ggg$ transition by about a factor of 4.


Substrate-induced electron energy band alignments of ultrathin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) films are investigated using photoemission spectroscopy. Thin layer MoS2/Al2O3 and MoS2/ZrO2 interfaces show valence band offset (VBO) values of 3.21 eV and 2.77 eV, respectively. The corresponding conduction-band offset (CBO) values are 3.63 eV and 1.27 eV. Similarly, the calculated VBO and CBO values for an ultrathin layer of MoS2/SiO2 are estimated to be 4.25 and 2.91 eV, respectively. However, a very thick layer of MoS2 on Al2O3 and ZrO2 layers increases the CBO and VBO values by 0.31 eV and 0.2 eV, respectively, due to the shifting of the Mo 4dz2 band toward the Fermi level. The atomic force microscopy images show that the films are atomically smooth and favor the formation of a high-quality interface between the substrate and the film. The investigated luminescence spectra reveal that the MoS2 films show very strong interactions with different high-k surfaces, whereas the Raman spectrum is only weakly influenc...


Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment for complex vesicovaginal fistulas.Methods The causes,pre-operation condition,operation style and clinical efficacy of 41 patients with complex vesicovaginal fistula from January 2000 to December 2009 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Factors relating to obstetrics and gynecology were the main causes of complex vesicovaginal fistulas.All 41 patients were obtained the operation.Thirty patients were successful treated at stage Ⅰoperation while 8 patients at stageⅡ operation.There was no recurrence during the follow up period of 12 months to 10 years.Conclusion Making sufficient preparations pre-operatively,operating carefully during the operation and strengthening the management post-operatively are the keys to improve the successful rate of the operation for complex vesicovaginal fistulas.


The principle of three similar kinds of spinning methods,compact-siro,siro and compact spinning were introduced.Yarns with 9.7tex,7.3tex,5.9tex were produced by compact-siro,siro and compact spinning.The properties of yarns spun by the three kinds of methods were compared,including strength,strength irregularity,elongation percentage at break,uneveness,thick and thin slub,neps,hairiness index.The results showed that the properties of compact-siro yarn are the best.The causes of the increase in strength,unevenness and the decrease in hairiness for the compact-siro yarn were discussed through a systematic theory analysis.
