Contribution of Personnel Management to the Generation of Innovation Capabilities in Medium and Large Companies in Colombia by Rubio-Rodríguez Gustavo Adolfo, Ortiz Yeison Farid Méndez, Cardoso Elizabeth Palma, Perdomo Efraín Enrique Granados

“…Since the population to be studied is finite and known, a stratified random probability sampling with finite population adjustment is carried out, since the possibility of selecting one or another element is equal. In addition, the aim is to ensure that all the units of analysis (medium and large companies) are duly represented. …”

Elementary school teachers’ understanding of unit fractions by Arthur Powell, Muteb Alqahtani, Özlem Temur, Daniela Tirnovan

“…In semi-structured interviews, 19 teachers engaged the task and reasoned whether the shaded portion equals 1/3 of the frame. Our findings indicate that about three-quarters of the participants believe that either (1) to have one-third of a quantity, a section needs to be one of three parts, or (2) a section cannot be 1/3 of an object if the object is partitioned into three unequal sections. …”

Dynamic Large Deflection Response of RC Beams under Low-Speed Impact Loading by Lu Guo, Renwei Mao, Zhifang Liu, Shiqiang Li, Guiying Wu, Zhihua Wang

“…Two simple methods such as extended Hamilton’s principle and equivalent static hypothesis are used to establish the theoretical models for both simply supported and fully clamped RC beams; analytical formulas for the maximum midspan deflection-input impact energy are obtained. The “equal area” method based on the deflection history of beams is only used during these derivations to determine the plastic bending moment and the stress distribution of the structure. …”

The Oscillating Component of the Internal Jugular Vein Flow: The Overlooked Element of Cerebral Circulation by Francesco Sisini, Eleuterio Toro, Mauro Gambaccini, Paolo Zamboni

“…If this is true, then it will imply the following: (i) the blood velocity in the IJV is a periodic function of the time with period equal to the cardiac period and (ii) the instantaneous blood velocity is given by a time function that can be derived from a flow-dynamics theory that uses the instantaneous pressure gradient as a parameter. …”

Seismic Response and Vibration Reduction Analysis of Suspended Structure under Wave Passage Excitation by Wenhua Cai, Bujun Yu, Fajong Wu, Jianhua Shao

“…Moreover, the upper bound of the maximum acceleration response at the structures’ top under nonuniform input motions equals that of the uniform motion. However, there is a hysteresis in the acceleration response under wave travelling excitations, and the smaller the apparent wave velocity, the more obvious the hysteresis.…”

Modification of Jet Structure in High-Multiplicity pp Collisions due to Multiple-Parton Interactions and Observing a Multiplicity-Independent Characteristic Jet Size by Zoltán Varga, Róbert Vértesi, Gergely Gábor Barnaföldi

“…We give predictions for multiplicity-differential jet structures and present evidence for a nontrivial jet shape dependence on charged hadron event multiplicity that can be used as a sensitive tool to experimentally differentiate between equally well-preforming simulation tunes. We also propose a way to validate the presence and extent of effects such as multiple-parton interactions (MPI) or color reconnection (CR), based on the detection of nontrivial jet shape modification in high-multiplicity events at high pT. …”
