Group Matching and Group Contingencies
… (Kraft & Baum, 2001) will engage in emergent group behavior that is distinct from individual matching relations. To more completely understand group matching in humans, group relations beyond foraging must be investigated. This study expands on the findings of Kraft and Baum (2001) and …

Group representation learning for group recommendation
Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual preferences and then aggregate them into a group preference. This thesis takes a …

The effects of group membership and task experience on asynchronous computer-mediated group performance, group competencies and group member reactions
… dependent on the permeation of virtual work groups throughout the organizational structure. In this era of distributed work, it is imperative to determine which factors affect the efficiency and effectiveness of asynchronous computer-mediated groupwork. Two factors are identified in the …

Group 3 and Group 13 Metal Hydride Compounds
… this thesis was to synthesize (and characterize) group 3 and group 13 metal alkyl and hydride complexes. These complexes were supported by aminopyridinato, guanidinato and phenolato ligands. Guanidinato ligand stabilized aluminum alkyl complexes were synthesized through alkane elimination. …

How Kaizen Group Leader Selection Affects Group Participation
… communication research indicates group member participation increases as the legitimate power differences among group members decreases. Lean principles and practices indicate Kaizen Event members will contribute regardless of legitimate power levels, due to member training, …

Group mechanisms and group cohesion: an examination of the effects of group properties on cohesiveness
… area of investigation in the analysis of groups in that at least a minimum amount of cohesion is necessary for group formation and group elaboration. This research project was designed with two related purposes in mind. One purpose was to investigate the effects of a number of independent …

Effects of Altering Group Goal Content on Group Outcomes
… of Boggle® to examine goal content effects on group processes, development, and collective efficacy. Goal content was hypothesized to have important implications for directing attention to important group processes. The study employed a 3 (a learning goal condition, a performance goal …

The Locally Free Cancellation Property of The Group Ring Zg (Eichler Condition, Quaternion Group, Kernel Group)
… in many applications where ZG is the integral group ring of a finite group G over Z. Jacobinski's cancellation theorem implies that cancellation holds unless some quotient G/N is a binary poly- hedral group. Swan's theorem which investigates the extent to which the converse of Jacobinski's …

The Macdonald group
Given α ∈ Z, the Macdonald group G(α) is defined by G(α) = ⟨ A,B | A[A,B] = Aα, B[B,A] = Bα ⟩. It is known that G(α) is finite if and only if α ̸= 1, in which case the prime factors of |G(α)| are those of α − 1. It is also known that G(α) is nilpotent in certain cases. We show that G(α) is always …

Infinite Product Group
… been studied in the case of the Hawaiian earring group, and has been seen to simplify the description of that group. In this paper we try to extend the theory of infinite multiplication to other groups and give a few examples of how this can be done. In particular, we discuss the theory as applied …

In-group / out-group dynamics and effectiveness in partially distributed teams
… Team there exist at least two distinct sub-groups. In addition, at least one of the sub-groups has two or more members that are geographically co-located. Co-located members can meet face to face; chat in the hallway; have lunch together; and otherwise socialize with one another. On the …

Geometric and homological methods in group theory: constructing small group resolutions
Given two groups K and H for which we have the free crossed resolutions, B* --> K and C* --> H respectively. Our aim is to construct a free crossed resolution, A* --> G, by way of induction on the degree n, for any semidirect product G = K x H. First we show how to find a set Z1 of generators for …
