Abstract

A sample of 115 professional coaches provided benefit estimates of four types of coaching (leadership, performance, life/personal, third generation) believed to result when coaching occurs within four distinct organization cultures (hierarchical, market, clan, and adhocracy). All forms of coaching were estimated to have higher benefits within clan and adhocracy cultures than within hierarchical and market cultures. Leadership coaching was assessed as most beneficial across all benefits and organizational cultures, though benefit estimates of other coaching types varied depending on culture and the specific benefit under consideration. Averaging across all cultures and coaching types, coaching was estimated as most beneficial for promoting personal growth.

7. Local and Global Analytic Solutions for a Class of Characteristic Problems of the Einstein Vacuum Equations in the 'Double Null Foliation Gauge'

Author

Caciotta, Giulio and Nicolò, Francesco

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, Mathematical Physics, 83C05
Abstract

The main goal of this work consists in showing that the analytic solutions for a class of characteristic problems for the Einstein vacuum equations have an existence region larger than the one provided by the Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem due to the intrinsic hyperbolicity of the Einstein equations. To prove this result we first describe a geometric way of writing the vacuum Einstein equations for the characteristic problems we are considering, in a gauge characterized by the introduction of a double null cone foliation of the spacetime. Then we prove that the existence region for the analytic solutions can be extended to a larger region which depends only on the validity of the apriori estimates for the Weyl equations, associated to the "Bel-Robinson norms". In particular if the initial data are sufficiently small we show that the analytic solution is global. Before showing how to extend the existence region we describe the same result in the case of the Burger equation, which, even if much simpler, nevertheless requires analogous logical steps required for the general proof. Due to length of this work, in this paper we mainly concentrate on the definition of the gauge we use and on writing in a "geometric" way the Einstein equations, then we show how the Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem is adapted to the characteristic problem for the Einstein equations and we describe how the existence region can be extended in the case of the Burger equation. Finally we describe the structure of the extension proof in the case of the Einstein equations. The technical parts of this last result is the content of a second paper., Comment: 68 pages

8. The non linear perturbation of the Kerr spacetime in an external region

Author

Caciotta, Giulio and Nicolò, Francesco

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

We prove, outside the influence region of a ball of radius $R_0$ centered in the origin of the initial data hypersurface, the existence of global solutions near to Kerr spacetime, provided that the initial data are sufficiently near to those of Kerr; This external region is the "far" part of the outer region of the perturbed Kerr spacetime. Moreover if we assume that the corrections to the Kerr metric decay sufficiently fast, $o(r^{-3})$, we prove that the various null components of the Riemann tensor decay in agreement with the "Peeling theorem"., Comment: 118 pages

9. The peeling in the 'very external region' of non linear perturbations of the Kerr spacetime

Author

Nicolò, Francesco

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

Let an initial data metric $\overline{g}$ be, outside a ball $B_{R_0}$ centered in the origin, the induced metric on $\Sigma_0$ of a Kerr spacetime (with a mass $M$ and angular momentum $J$ whose ratio, $J/M$, depends on the size of $R_0$) plus small corrections which decay at spacelike infinity faster than $r^{-3}$; let, in the same region, a symmetric tensor $\overline{k}$ be the second fundamental form of the Kerr spacetime plus small corrections which decay at spacelike infinity faster than $r^{-4}$, let $\overline{g}$ and $\overline{k}$ satisfy the constraint equations. Then, using the previous results of \cite{Ch-Kl:book} and \cite{Kl-Ni:book}, the global existence of the external region of a global spacetime, outside the region of influence of $B_{R_0}$ follows. In this external region the various components of the Riemann tensor decay along the outgoing null directions in agreement with the "Peeling Theorem".

11. Global characteristic problem for the Einstein vacuum equations with small initial data, (II): The existence proof

Author

Caciotta, Giulio and Nicolò, Francesco

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

This is the second part of our result on a class of global characteristic problems for the Einstein vacuum equations with small initial data. In the previous work denoted by (I), our attention was focused on prescribing the initial data satisfying the costraints imposed by the characteristic problem. Here we show how the global existence result can be achieved. This part is heavily based on the global results of D.Christodoulou, S.Klainerman and S.Klainerman, F.Nicolo`., Comment: 32 pages, 7 figures

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

We show how to prescribe the initial data of a characteristic problem satisfying the costraints, the smallness, the regularity and the asymptotic decay suitable to prove a global existence result. In this paper, the first of two, we show in detail the construction of the initial data and give a sketch of the existence result. This proof, which mimicks the analogous one for the non characteristic problem in [Kl-Ni], will be the content of a subsequent paper., Comment: 77 pages, no figures; corrected misprints and minor errors, to appear on Journal of Hyperbolic Differential Equations (JHDE)

Abstract

Unilateral visuo-spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome commonly resulting from right hemisphere strokes at the temporo-parietal junction of the infero-posterior parietal cortex. Neglect is characterised by reduced awareness of stimuli presented on patients’ contralesional side of space and has previously been shown to be improved by a number of motivational influences, including listening to preferred music and numerical sequence completion. Here we examined whether playing musical sequences on chime bars – an instrument with a horizontal alignment – would bring about clinically significant improvement in chronic neglect.Two left neglect patients completed an intervention comprising four weekly 30-minute music sessions involving playing scales and familiar melodies on chime bars from right to left. Two cancellation tests (Mesulam shape, BIT star), the line bisection test, and the neglect subtest from the computerised TAP (Test for Attentional Performance) battery were administered three times during a preliminary baseline phase, before and after each music session during the rehabilitation phase to investigate short-term effects, as well as one week after the last intervention session to investigate whether any effects would persist.Both patients demonstrated significant short-term and longer-lasting improvements on the Mesulam shape cancellation test. One patient also showed longer-lasting effects on the BIT star cancellation test and scored in the normal range one week after the intervention. These findings provide preliminary evidence that active music-making may help neglect patients attend more to their affected side.

Abstract

Mental practice (MP) has been shown to improve movement accuracy and velocity, but it is not known whether MP can also optimize movement timing. We addressed this question by studying two groups of expert pianists who performed challenging music sequences after either MP or physical practice (PP). Performance and motion-capture data were collected along with responses to imagery questionnaires. The results showed that MP produced performance improvements, although to a lower degree than PP did. MP and PP induced changes in both movement velocity and movement timing, promoting the emergence of movement anticipatory patterns. Furthermore, motor imagery was associated with greater changes in movement velocity, while auditory imagery was associated with greater movement anticipation. Data from a control group that was not allowed to practice confirmed that the changes in accuracy and kinematics were not due to mere repetition of the sequence during testing. This study provides the first evidence of an anticipatory control following MP and extends the present knowledge on the effectiveness of mental practice to a task of unparalleled motor complexity. The practical implications of MP in the motor domain are discussed.
