Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Leadership Emergence in Teams

Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Leadership Emergence in Teams Nandagopal, Bharathwaj This paper explores the relationship between motivation (intrinsic & extrinsic) and leadership emergence in order to mitigate extreme (too much or too little) leadership claiming and granting. The study examines DeRue and Ashford’s (2010) research, in addition to a host of other research articles, to hypothesize that intrinsic motivation is positively correlated to leadership claiming, while extrinsic motivation is positively correlated to leadership granting. The participants of this study are college students who have registered for course based credit at a midsize southeastern university. Each participant will join a team (three individuals per team), four teams per session. The four aforementioned teams will work as part of a larger problem-solving group to plan a civil infrastructure project in a fictitious developing nation. Before and throughout the study (at various time points), surveys will be administered that will collect information on motivation and leadership measures. After conducting analysis on the data, if the results support the aforementioned hypotheses, then extreme leadership claiming and granting can be mitigated by optimizing the amount of intrinsically and extrinsically motivated individuals on the team.

The Effect of Sweep and Taper on Static Performance for Small Propellers

The Effect of Sweep and Taper on Static Performance for Small Propellers Kadri, Tobi These past few years have been the years of the UAV. UAVs, also called drones, now have the friendly tasks of filming sports or movie scenes, civilian surveillance, and simple general aviation. Some companies see a future where UAVs are delivering pizza or packages. All of this shows a demand for civilian UAVs, typically in the form of quadcopters, but can also be small R/C planes. These aircraft are usually powered by small propellers and the design for propellers has not changed much despite the recent wave of UAV popularity. Two universities have made serious progress in the tabulation of small and micro propeller performance, but the realm of small and micro propeller geometry has not been pursued. Most propellers today are only classified by diameter and pitch, a measure of how far a propeller would “screw” into a solid object but other geometries of the propeller may lead to enhanced performance as well. In this study, seventeen 9 in. propellers were fabricated and tested. Thrust and torque coefficients were plotted against RPM since the tests were conducted statically. Forward sweep has adverse effects on both thrust and torque with only a hint that a higher sweep magnitude might yield significant performance improvements. Aft sweep yields substantial increases in thrust and torque, at the expense of higher power, and should qualify as a viable parameter for propeller manufactures to include in designs. A taper ratio greater than 1 has negligible increases in both thrust and torque while a taper ratio less than 1 has adverse effects on both. Varying taper ratio, at least solely from root to tip, is therefore not an effective strategy for thrust or torque augmentation, however small taper does reduce the induced power for a given thrust.

Integrating Chinese Data from Sina Weibo to the LITMUS Landslide Detection System

Integrating Chinese Data from Sina Weibo to the LITMUS Landslide Detection System Xie, Jiateng The detection of landslides has been a challenging problem for researchers since there are no dedicated physical sensors to detect landslides. LITMUS is a landslide detection system based on information from both social media platforms and physical sensors. It does have its own limitations, however, because it only supports English data. We propose to integrate the Chinese data from Sina Weibo to the LITMUS landslide detection system to extend its service. The Chinese LITMUS system pipeline starts off by collecting data from Sina Weibo using a web crawler. Then, it applies a few filtering techniques to tackle part of the noise that comes with the dataset. Subsequently, the system uses a combination of Named Entity Recognition (NER)-based and gazetteer-based approach to geo-tag the data items. The data-items that contain the same location entity are grouped to one cluster, which represents a candidate event. The system then classifies each data item to identify the remaining noise by using Word2Vec and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Lastly, the system makes a decision based on the majority label assigned to each cluster by the classifier as to whether or not a candidate event is an actual landslide event. Through our experiments, we show that the classification component of the system achieves about 0.96 in precision, recall and F-measure using the evaluation dataset, and that the system is able to detect a large number of landslides in China.

The Closed Loop Optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation Programming

The Closed Loop Optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation Programming Singh, Ravinderjit Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a procedure used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease. The current procedure for programming the parameters for DBS is time consuming and prone to error. The DBS programming procedure can be significantly improved using a closed-loop optimization approach. Due to recent advances in quantitative assessment metrics, the capability to translate a closed-loop optimization procedure for DBS programming from simulation to clinic has become more possible. Previous literature has presented closed-loop approaches that utilize evolutionary algorithms. It is very difficult to implement an evolutionary algorithm in the clinic because they typically require a large number of parameter evaluations. A parameter evaluation is testing how well a certain set of DBS parameters work. It is difficult to do a large number of parameter evaluations due to time constraints and patient fatigue. A response surface based closed-loop optimization approach for DBS programming is presented that has higher potential to be translated to the clinic because it requires much less parameter evaluations.
