Conscientiousness as shield, neuroticism as amplifier: divergent roles of personality in linking culture shock and work performance

Purpose Drawing on Stress and Coping Theory, this study investigates how culture shock acts as a chronic stressor impairing expatriate work performance and examines the divergent moderating roles of conscientiousness and neuroticism. Consistent with the measure employed, the foca...

Synchrotron X-ray-informed machine learning for local hardness mapping in a Cu–Ni–Ti–Hf–Zr high-entropy shape-memory alloy

A supervised machine-learning framework was used to relate colocated synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray nanodiffraction (XND), thermodynamic descriptors, and nanoindentation measurements to local hardness in an as-cast Cu 15 Ni 35 Ti 25 Hf 12. 5Zr 12.5 high-entropy shape...

Development of a Ce4W9O33 embedded functionalized halloysite nanotube nanocomposite for sensitive electrochemical detection of phenolic aldehyde vanillin in food matrices

A novel Cerium-Tungsten Heteropolyoxometalate intercalated on Halloysite Nanotubes (Ce 4 W 9 O 33 @f-HNT) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method and utilized to construct an efficient electrochemical sensor. The complete structural, morphological,...
