A Random Coefficient Degradation Model With Ramdom Sample Size

In testing product reliability, there is often a critical cutoff level that determines whether a specimen is classified as failed. One consequence is that the number of degradation data collected varies from specimen to specimen. The information of random sample size should be included in the model, and our study shows that it can be influential in estimating model parameters. Two-stage least squares (LS) and maximum modified likelihood (MML) estimation, which both assume fixed sample sizes, are commonly used for estimating parameters in the repeated measurements models typically applied to degradation data. However, the LS estimate is not consistent in the case of random sample sizes. This article derives the likelihood for the random sample size model and suggests using maximum likelihood (ML) for parameter estimation. Our simulation studies show that ML estimates have smaller biases and variances compared to the LS and MML estimates. All estimation methods can be greatly improved if the number of specimens increases from 5 to 10. A data set from a semiconductor application is used to illustrate our methods.     

The social worlds of immigrant youth

This introductory chapter uses a detailed case study to illustrate the interconnection of multiple social influences on one particular youth's path of migration. It further identifies some of the major influences on immigrant youth development, including the stresses of migration, separations and reunifications, changing networks of relations, poverty and segregation, and identity formation.     

美育与人的全面发展

"培养德、智、体、美全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人",是我党教育方针的主要内容和核心。随着社会的进步、经济的发展以及人们生活水平的提高,审美已日益成为经济发展、社会进步和民族素质提高的迫切需要。因此,我们要深刻理解美育对人的全面发展的重要意义,并寻求有效方式或途径,进一步推进高校美育工作,激发受教育者对美的热爱和追求,使他们在德育、智育、体育、美育等方面获得全面和谐的发展。     

关于完善我国见义勇为立法的思考

见义勇为既是道德问题,也是法律问题。我们对见义勇为行为在道德上给予高度评价,却很少从法律角度加以观察。本文通过对现行法中见义勇为法律救济模式的评析,提出了发挥道德和法律的互动作用,完善见义勇为立法的设想,以期对相关立法及管理机关有所借鉴。     

An Empirical Investigation in Sustaining High‐Quality Performance

Many organizations that were once quality leaders have had challenges sustaining high‐quality performance. Although research has examined frameworks and concepts that lead to high‐quality performance, few studies examine how to sustain high‐quality performance. Sustaining performance may require additional capabilities from what it takes to achieve it. Drawing on quality management literature, organizational resilience literature, and the theory of dynamic capabilities in the strategy literature, this study empirically investigates the effects of four capabilities that help sustain high‐quality performance. The analysis shows that capabilities in improvement, innovation, sensing weak signals, and responsiveness all help sustain high‐quality performance. This suggests that what it takes to achieve high‐quality performance is different, in part, from what it takes to sustain it. The data comes from a survey of 147 manufacturing business units. The analysis shows that the relative benefits of these capabilities may depend on the level of competitive intensity and environmental uncertainty. The findings provide empirical support for a theoretical model and practical guidance for sustaining quality performance.     

论新生代农民工的媒介话语空间构建

徘徊于城乡文明之间的新生代农民工,以生存移民的方式负载了个体价值实现和身份转化的梦想,在社会资本和文化资本均处于弱关系的城市生存竞争中,新生代农民工不再囿于政策赋予的权益表达缺失,期望获取日常化和生活化的表达渠道。从被动的由媒介传播的话语代言,到洞悉媒介话语的舆论引导效力,新生代农民工在媒介传播情境中发生角色转变,逐步体认和识别媒介表达的符号释义,并依据农民工分层体系,建立差异化的媒介使用和依存关系。基于新生代农民工教育水平提高和媒介素养的成长性提升,新生代农民工与大众传播媒介发生了互动关联,在话语表达主体意识和能力上有所提高,为弥合新生代农民工遭遇的城乡文化断裂起到影响作用。

蚕丛鱼凫:蜀地迁徙中的文化寻根

从李白的《蜀道难》去追溯,可以探寻有关古蜀国的文化遗迹。蚕丛是古蜀王国的开国始祖,也是中华人文始祖黄帝的后裔,娶蜀山氏女为妻,并繁衍出一支蜀人。其中岷江上游是其发源地,后又迁到今茂县一带,创造了营盘山文化。而鱼凫部落是其第三代传承古蜀人部落,在成都平原发现的大约公元3000～4000年前的遗址大多属于鱼凫时代。他们的后人是教民务农的望帝以及成功治水的丛帝。他们在每一次国破家亡的灾难中,都迈向了更遥远的他乡,并创造了一个又一个的文化遗迹。探寻古蜀人从远古走来的足迹,可以发掘出古蜀人的文化传承意义。
