The Dual Effect of Participation Level on Consumer Participation in Participatory CSR: The Role of CSR Fit and Social Support.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) provides companies with two benefits: creating social value and strengthening consumer relationships. Companies implement various types of CSR to maximize the positive effects of CSR, participatory CSR being one of these types. However, although the number of companies using participatory CSR in practice is increasing, academic interest in the effectiveness of participatory CSR has been insufficient.

Charge injected proton transfer in indigo derivatives.

In analogy with excited-state proton transfer, proton transfer is significantly facilitated in cationic and anionic molecules of indigo derivatives generated in field-effect transistors. We have prepared extended and truncated indigo derivatives and investigated their ambipolar transistor properties. Since the proton transfer reduces the energy gap from 2.

Effects of Thermal Conductive Materials on the Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Concrete.

To solve the problem of black ice, many studies are being carried out. The key in recent days is enhancing the thermal conductivity of concrete. In this study, to improve the thermal conductivity, silicon carbide was used to substitute 50% and 100% of the fine aggregate.

Transistor properties of salen-type metal complexes.

Schiff base complexes derived from salicylaldehyde and ethylene-, propylene-, and -1,2-cyclohexane-diamines exhibit p-channel transistor properties. The Cu complexes are open-shell compounds, but the oxidation and the hole transport occur at the highest occupied molecular orbital, where the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) does not participate in conduction. Although Ni complexes tend to show larger mobilities than Cu complexes owing to the molecular planarity, the presence of SOMO is not harmful to the transistor properties.

Transistor Characteristics of Charge-Transfer Complexes Observed across a Neutral-Ionic Transition.

For basic understanding of transistor properties of doped organic semiconductors, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine charge-transfer complexes are investigated, which change from neutral to ionic by varying the acceptors. When going into the ionic state, the bulk conduction increases more rapidly than the mobility, but sufficiently thin devices exhibit transistor properties. The resulting ambipolar characteristics are analyzed in the linear regions at small drain voltages in analogy with graphene transistors.

Flexible Foil of Hybrid TaS /Organic Superlattice: Fabrication and Electrical Properties.

TaS nanolayers with reduced dimensionality show interesting physics, such as a gate-tunable phase transition and enhanced superconductivity, among others. Here, a solution-based strategy to fabricate a large-area foil of hybrid TaS /organic superlattice, where [TaS ] monolayers and organic molecules alternatively stack in atomic scale, is proposed. The [TaS ] layers are spatially isolated with remarkably weakened interlayer bonding, resulting in lattice vibration close to that of TaS monolayers.

Carrier Charge Polarity in Mixed-Stack Charge-Transfer Crystals Containing Dithienobenzodithiophene.

Dithieno[2,3- d;2'3'- d']benzo[1,2- b;4,5- b']dithiophene forms mixed-stack charge-transfer complexes with fluorinated tetracyanoquinodimethanes (F TCNQs, n = 0, 2, and 4) and dimethyldicyanoquinonediimine (DMDCNQI). The single-crystal transistors of the F TCNQ complexes exhibit electron transport, whereas the DMDCNQI complex shows hole transport as well. The dominance of electron transport is explained by the superexchange mechanism, where transfers corresponding to the acceptor-to-acceptor hopping ( t) are more than 10 times larger than the donor-to-donor hopping ( t).

Effect of short-term fasting on urinary excretion of primary lipid peroxidation products and on markers of oxidative DNA damage in healthy women.

The goal of this study was to determine whether short-term fasting changes in urinary biomarkers related to oxidative stress: malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-isoprostaglandin F2alpha (8-isoPGF), 8-hydroxydeoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG) and 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (epsilondA) among female volunteers participating in the short-term fasting program in South Korea. The study subjects were 52 healthy women (mean age 28, range 15-48 years old) who provided urine samples both before and after the fasting program (average 7.2, range: 3-11 days).
