Table_1_Role of Peer Coaching in Transmitting the Benefits of Leader Coaching.XLS

Drawing on social information processing theory, the present study examines how and when leader coaching can be beneficial for team performance. Based on a sample of 58 teams from a sanitary product company in China, we found that peer coaching served as a mediator linking leader coaching and team performance. Moreover, the team individualistic/collectivism value moderated the first-stage relationship that the relationship between leader coaching and peer coaching was more positive when the team individualism value was low, but not significant when the team individualism value was high; while team task interdependence moderated the second-stage relationship that the relationship between peer coaching and team performance was more positive when the team task interdependence was high, but not significant when it was low. The findings enrich our understandings of the effectiveness of leader coaching behavior by uncovering the theoretical mechanism and boundary conditions. The study also provides important implications for coaching practice in organizations.</p

A Feasible Post-Treatment of Drying and Rewetting for Preparation of High-Flux Pluronic F127/Polyethersulfone Nanofiltration Membranes

Pluronic F127/polyethersulfone (PES) blend nanofiltration membranes were fabricated by varying polymer weight ratios of WF127/WPES in casting solutions from 0.0 to 100.0 wt %. The initial wet membranes prepared via the phase inversion method were post-treated by drying at room temperature and then immersion into water for rewetting to obtain Pluronic F127/PES nanofiltration membranes. Membrane shrinkage and swelling, cross section and surface morphologies, water uptake, surface hydrophilicity, X-ray diffraction pattern, water flux, and rejection of dyes for Pluronic F127/PES nanofiltration membranes were investigated. The introduction of Pluronic F127 into PES membranes can substantially alleviate the membrane shrinkage during drying treatment. All of the prepared Pluronic F127/PES nanofiltration membranes can completely reject Alcian blue with a molecular weight of 1299. The water permeance of Pluronic F127/PES nanofiltration membrane at WF127/WPES of 80% is as high as 176.2 L/(m2 h MPa). After long-term immersion into sodium hypochlorite solution, Pluronic F127/PES nanofiltration membranes still keep over 95.7% rejection of Alcian blue

Glucose stimulated insulin secretion of INS-1-3 cells.

Cells were incubated with normal medium as control, 16.7mM glucose plus 0.3mM palmitic acid (HG+PA) was added to induce ERS. Insulin secretion was detected by ELISA induced by 20mM glucose as GSIS. *P#P>0.05 compared with Nkx6.1 (normal medium).</p
