Effect of Surface Finishing State on Fatigue Strength of Cast Aluminium and Steel Alloys.

The endurance limit of structural mechanical components is affected by the residual stress state, which depends strongly on the manufacturing process. In general, compressive residual stresses tend to result in an increased fatigue strength. Post-manufacturing processes such as shot peening or vibratory finishing may achieve such a compressive residual stress state.

Employee Reactions to Interruptions from Family during Work.

In contemporary workplaces, spouses, parents, and children are frequently able to reach employees through telephone, text, or email. Although some employees may welcome this level of accessibility to their families, others may react negatively, but we know little about the individual differences or situational characteristics that relate to these reactions. To examine these reactions, we recruited samples of US residents, employed outside the home in a variety of occupations, who reported that they were recently interrupted at work by a family member.

The role of fairness perceptions and accountability attributions in predicting reactions to organizational events.

Researchers have found that fairness perceptions relate to many different outcomes (e.g., J.
