Development of an in-basket exercise designed to measure potential leadership skills by Coleen Beth Dennison.
This research is to develop in-basket work samples to measure an individual\u27s willingness and ability to display behaviors that are often associated with successful leadership in organizations as described by Bass
Elliptic flow of resonances at RHIC: probing final state interactions and the structure of resonances
We propose the measurement of the elliptic flow of hadron resonances at the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider as a tool to probe the amount of hadronic final
state interactions for resonances at intermediate and large transverse momenta.
This can be achieved by looking at systematic deviations of the measured flow
coefficient from the scaling law given by the quark recombination
formalism. Our method can be generalized to explore the structure of exotic
particles, such as the recently found pentaquark .Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures; v2: accepted version for publication in Physical

Hadronic freeze-out following a first order hadronization phase transition in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
We analyze the hadronic freeze-out in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions
at RHIC in a transport approach which combines hydrodynamics for the early,
dense, deconfined stage of the reaction with a microscopic non-equilibrium
model for the later hadronic stage at which the hydrodynamic equilibrium
assumptions are not valid. With this ansatz we are able to self-consistently
calculate the freeze-out of the system and determine space-time hypersurfaces
for individual hadron species. The space-time domains of the freeze-out for
several hadron species are found to be actually four-dimensional, and differ
drastically for the individual hadrons species. Freeze-out radii distributions
are similar in width for most hadron species, even though the Omega-baryon is
found to be emitted rather close to the phase boundary and shows the smallest
freeze-out radii and times among all baryon species. The total lifetime of the
system does not change by more than 10% when going from SPS to RHIC energies.Comment: 11 pages, 4 eps-figures included, revised versio
Exploring leadership communication in the United Arab Emirates: Issues of culture and gender
This study aims to identify what makes a successful leader in the UAE within the paradigms of leadership styles and leadership communication. In order to do this, we explore, and potentially challenge, a number of the existing leadership stereotypes that are germane to the region, along with the stereotypical discourse strategies that have been associated with the ways in which men and women enact leadership. We wanted to find out if Emirati nationals would prefer the type of discursive leadership that has been associated with women leaders, that is transformational leadership and collaborative communication, or if they would prefer the discursive leadership that has been stereotypically associated with men in equivalent positions, that is laissez-faire, transactional or paternalisticleadership styles, together with the use of a direct and competitive style of communication. Our findings show that a Western understanding of leadership may be too strictly delineated to account for leadership styles in the Gulf, and also that leaders in the region may effectively draw on a combined set of communication strategies that have been stereotypically attributed elsewhere to male and female leaders
