    The Impact of Communication Structure and Interpersonal Dependencies on Distributed Teams

    Abstract—In the past decade, we have witnessed an explosive growth of the Web, online communities, and social media. This has led to a substantial increase in the range and scope of electronic communication and distributed collaboration. In distributed teams, social communication is thought to be critical for creating and sustaining relationships, but there is often limited opportunity for team members to build interpersonal connections through face to face interactions. Although social science research has examined some relational aspects of distributed teams, this work has only recently begun to explore the potentially complex relationship between communication, interpersonal relationship formation, and the effectiveness of distributed teams. In this work, we analyze data from an experimental study comparing distributed and co-located teams of undergraduates working to solve logic problems. We use a combined set of tools, including statistical analysis, social network analysis, and machine learning, to analyze the influence of interpersonal communication on the effectiveness of distributed and co-located teams. Our results indicate there are significant differences in participants ’ self- and group perceptions with respect to: (i) distributed vs. co-located settings, and (ii) communication structures within the team.

    Secondary Sources, a Dublin Dance Festival 2010 commission, by choreographer Liz Roche that brings together renowned collaborators and performers from the US, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Spain and Ireland. Liz Roche creates a tapestry of movements that reflect on the performers' embodied connections between primary and secondary sources of inspiration, exploring the influences that we carry in our bodies that come from other people, places and events. The work began nearly two years ago in New York as a quartet made during a residency at Movement Research NY and has been developing ever since through an on-going process between Liz Roche and an exceptional group of dancers/collaborators who are joined in performance by musician/composers Justin Carroll and Edward RosenBerg with lighting by Nick McCall and costumes by Jeni Roddy.

    Wavelength dependent photocatalytic H 2 generation using iridium-Pt/Pd complexes

    Novel cyclometallated iridium-Pt/Pd dinuclear complexes containing the bridging ligand 2,2′:5′,2′′-terpyridine (BPP) and the peripheral phenylpyridine (ppy) ligand produced hydrogen under both visible (470 nm) and UV (350 nm) irradiation. The turnover numbers using visible light were found to be significantly higher, indicating an interplay between two independent excited states, only one of which produces H 2 efficiently. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry
