“…However, for now, this research gives us a significant insight into how two of the most commonly cited language strategies interact with each other (i.e., I-language and communicating perspective-taking). This research supports the recommendations made by scholars within communication (Hargie, 2011), developmental (Bloomquist, 2012;Heydenberk & Heydenberk, 2007), business (Whitcomb & Whitcomb, 2013), and legal (Howieson & Priddis, 2015;Kidder, 2017;Moore, 2014) fields of scholarship to make use of communicative strategies such as I-language and communicating perspective during conflict to minimise hostility.…”

“…During conflict, a hostile approach typically produces hostility in return from the other person, potentially creating a negative downward spiral (Bowen, Winczewski, & Collins, 2016;Park & Antonioni, 2007;Pike & Sillars, 1985;Wiebe & Zhang, 2017). Therefore, it is not surprising that recommendations abound in the academic and popular literature about specific communication tactics to minimise perceptions of hostility (Bloomquist, 2012;Hargie, 2011;Heydenberk & Heydenberk, 2007;Howieson & Priddis, 2015;Kidder, 2017;Moore, 2014;Whitcomb & Whitcomb, 2013). The present research assesses two specific aspects of language style that theorists have recommended as beneficial tactics for minimising hostility during conflict: the use of I-language instead of you-language, and communicating perspective (Hargie, 2011).…”

Using hypothetical scenarios, we provided participants with potential opening statements to a conflict discussion that varied on I/you language and communicated perspective. Participants rated the likelihood that the recipient of the statement would react in a defensive manner. Using I-language and communicating perspective were both found to reduce perceptions of hostility. Statements that communicated both self-and otherperspective using I-language (e.g., 'I understand why you might feel that way, but I feel this way, so I think the situation is unfair') were rated as the best strategy to open a conflict discussion. Simple acts of initial language use can reduce the chances that conflict discussion will descend into a downward spiral of hostility.

“…Precise and concise presentations that meet the company's objective are crucial for decision making purposes in any engineering profession [28]. This finding concurs with other studies that warrant such competencies to be exhibited in presentations [29,30]. Students, however, exhibit inclination toward socio-cultural competence as emphasis is on the use of memorization skill and receptivity to the audience background.…”

Communicative competence remains an important skill expected of prospective graduates among employers. Despite its importance, this notion lacks clarity in its contextual definition. Such indefinite clarification has created apprehension among stakeholders like engineering students and industry practitioners' who are involved in the business workplace related oral communicative events such as technical oral presentations. In this study, engineering students are final year engineering students from the academic community who are involved in the delivery of final year technical project presentations. Industry practitioners, on the other hand, are professional engineers from the professional engineering community who have been selected to evaluate the students' final year engineering project presentations or technical oral presentations. Technical oral presentations constitute one of the many workplace related oral communicative events. Such concerns, as theoretically implied in the situated learning theory, if left unchecked, may result in the continued academia-industry practitioner discord over the said notion. The investigation is conducted to acknowledge the different interpretations of students and engineering practitioners in order to lessen the apparent academia-industry practitioner divide on communicative competence. The findings will discuss one of the sub-sets of communicative competence construct, i.e. presentations skills and attribute construct.

“…One approach is the null-detection feedback technique employed at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in which the fluorescence signal is processed while one of the XFELO Bragg mirrors is given a small-amplitude oscillation [16]. The method was successfully tested in a pilot experiment with a high-resolution, six-crystal x-ray monochromator at APS Sector 30 [17].…”

X-ray comb generation from nuclear-resonance-stabilized x-ray free-electron laser oscillator for fundamental physics and precision metrology

An x-ray free-electron laser oscillator (XFELO) is a next-generation x-ray source, similar to free-electron laser oscillators at VUV and longer wavelengths but using crystals as high-reflectivity x-ray mirrors. Each output pulse from an XFELO is fully coherent with high spectral purity. The temporal coherence length can further be increased drastically, from picoseconds to microseconds or even longer, by phase-locking successive XFELO output pulses, using the narrow nuclear resonance lines of nuclei such as 57 Fe as a reference. We show that the phase fluctuation due to the seismic activities is controllable and that due to spontaneous emission is small. The fluctuation of electron-bunch spacing contributes mainly to the envelope fluctuation but not to the phase fluctuation. By counting the number of standing-wave maxima formed by the output of the nuclear-resonance-stabilized (NRS) XFELO over an optically known length, the wavelength of the nuclear resonance can be accurately measured, possibly leading to a new length or frequency standard at x-ray wavelengths. A NRS-XFELO will be an ideal source for experimental x-ray quantum optics as well as other fundamental physics. The technique can be refined for other, narrower resonances such as 181 Ta or 45 Sc.
