Women's Hair Color and Survey Response Rate: A Field Experiment

Previous research found that survey response rates were influenced by physical characteristics of the interviewer. However, the effect of hair color on compliance to a survey request has never been studied. Female confederates wearing blond, brown, black, or red wigs solicited 1,200 male and female pedestrians for a survey. It was found those male passersby, but not the female, agreed more frequently to the confederates wearing blond wigs whereas they agreed less to the same confederates wearing red wigs. Greater youth and healthiness associated with blond hair in women is used to explain these results. The practical interest in face-to-face surveys is addressed.     

日本原生数字化时代的出版规约

今天的出版物不仅仅包括被数字化了的纸媒体,比如书籍和杂志,而且还包括所谓的原生数字化出版物.而且在原生数字化出版物当中开始出现越来越多的未经过编辑程序的产品,即网民直接"上传"的内容.手机小说网站为了管理网民上传的作品采取"自我分级制",取得了较好的效果."信息商材"作为一种新生的网络广告信息产品存在着夸大失实的部分,如何加强对"信息商材"的规制成为一项新课题.移动通信业界建立了自主规约联盟,以"自我分级制"为代表的自主规约将为传统文化市场带来革命.     

Nonparametric regression with cross‐classified responses

In this article, we develop regression models with cross‐classified responses. Conditional independence structures can be explored/exploited through the selective inclusion/exclusion of terms in a certain functional ANOVA decomposition, and the estimation is done nonparametrically via the penalized likelihood method. A cohort of computational and data analytical tools are presented, which include cross‐validation for smoothing parameter selection, Kullback–Leibler projection for model selection, and Bayesian confidence intervals for odds ratios. Random effects are introduced to model possible correlations such as those found in longitudinal and clustered data. Empirical performances of the methods are explored in simulation studies of limited scales, and a real data example is presented using some eyetracking data from linguistic studies. The techniques are implemented in a suite of R functions, whose usage is briefly described in the appendix.

垂直管内汽－液两相间传质及界面对冷凝过程的影响

本文根据冷凝的控制方程和相应的边界条件，得到了传质及界面对冷凝过程影响的解析解，并对影响冷凝过程的机制和主要因素，如表征蒸汽及界面速度的因子Ｂ、表征由传质引起动量传递的因子φ以及反映传质及界面综合作用的因子ω分别进行了讨论．结果表明，传质及界面对冷凝过程有明显的影响，本文解与努塞尔解有显著差别．     

DCT域分形图像压缩编码方法

首先研究了一般分形图像压缩方法存在的缺陷，然后对它进行改进。最后在ＤＣＩ域做进一步的改进。实验结果表明，和原来方法相比较，ＤＣＴ域分形图像压缩编码方法具有明显的优越性。     

Artificial neural networks and center-of-pressure modeling: a practical method for sensorimotor-degradation assessment

Numerous methods for studying the prevention of falls and age-related sensorimotor degradation have been proposed and tested. Some approaches are too impractical to use with seniors or too expensive for practitioners. Practitioners desire a simple, reliable technique. The goals of this research were to develop such an approach and to apply it in exploring the effect of Tai Chi on age-related sensorimotor degradation. The method employed artificial-neural-network (ANN) models trained by using individuals' center-of-pressure (COP) measurements and age. Ninety-six White and Chinese adults without Tai Chi training were tested. In contrast, a third group, Chinese seniors with Tai Chi training, was tested to ascertain any influence from Tai Chi on sensorimotor aging. This study supported ANN technology with COP data as a feasible tool in the exploration of sensorimotor degradation and demonstrated that Tai Chi slowed down the effects of sensorimotor aging.     

象征主义文学的音乐性

象征主义文学作为现代派文学的开始,极力追求作品的音乐性,用音乐的不确定性来表现作者的某种情绪.从音乐性是象征主义诗人共同的追求与渴望、象征主义诗人赋予"音乐性"新的内容、构成象征主义诗歌音乐性基本要素三个方面系统地探讨象征主义文学(诗歌)的音乐性,以及如何辩证地认识象征主义文学的音乐性.     

大学生社交效能感量表的初步编制研究

本研究通过探索性因素分析抽取了大学生社交效能感量表的5个因素,分别是应对陌生人、社交信心、亲和力、社交主动、应对社交困境,再通过验证性因素分析检验,确定了量表五因素结构模型。通过信效度分析,表明量表具有较好的稳定性和有效性,达到了心理测量学的要求,可以用于大学生社交效能感状况的测量,为大学生社交效能感的进一步研究提供了研究工具。     

节制是立法者的美德——兼论立法理念的错位与变革

我国立法速度过快、数量过多以及立法所涉范围过广的问题,应当引起我们对由此可能导致的法律确定性、权威性的减损和法律实施困难等负面效应的警觉,以及对"法律万能论"、立法动机错位和立法权中心化的反思,并在此基础上,努力手求立法理念的转变与提升,扩大立法中的民主参与,鼓励并支持提高社会自治能力,以提高立法质量,遏制过快发展的立法活动.     

The Role of Emotions in Risk Communication

We present two experiments investigating the role of emotions concerning technological and natural hazards. In the first experiment, technological hazards aroused stronger emotions, and were considered to be riskier than natural hazards. No differences were found between the texts versus audio presentations. However, the presence of pictures aroused stronger emotions and increased the perceived risk. Emotions play a mediating role between hazard types and perceived risk, as well as between pictures and perceived risk. The second experiment adopted real‐world materials from webpages and TV. Emotions again play a mediating role between pictorial information and risk perception. Moreover, specific emotions were found to be associated with different types of action tendencies. For example, loss‐based emotions (e.g., fear, regret) tend to lead to prevention strategies, whereas ethical emotions (e.g., anger) lead to aggressive behavior. We also find that loss‐based emotions in the technical hazard scenario trigger more coping strategies (from prevention to retaliation) than in the natural hazard scenario.
