A Construction of Lancaster Probabilities with Margins in the Multidimensional Meixner Class

The well-known Meixner class (Meixner, 1934) of probabilities on R has been extended recently to R ^d (Pommeret, 1996). This generalized Meixner class corresponds to the simple quadratic natural exponential families characterized by Casalis (1996). Following Lancaster (1975), the present paper offers a characterization of the joint probability of a randomvector ( X, Y ) such that the two variables X and Y on R ^d belong to the multidimensional Meixner class and fulfil a bi-orthogonality condition involving orthogonal polynomials. The joint probabilities, called Lancaster probabilities, are characterized by two sequences of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the margins and a sequence of expectations of products. Some multivariate probabilities are studied, namely the Poisson-Gaussian and the gamma-Gaussian.     

Comparing Protest and Conflict: A Time-Series Analysis of Peasant Unrest in Japan, 1800-1877

Abstract  The objective of this study is to explore the mechanisms of peasant political protest and social conflict in nineteenth-century Japan. While political protest and social conflict have often been referred to as constituting two major categories of peasant unrest throughout feudal Japan, past studies on nineteenth-century peasant uprisings, based mainly on a class conflict paradigm, did not treat them as such. This study aims at examining differential mechanisms between protest and conflict, and at assessing the applicability of the class conflict paradigm.
A time-series analysis is performed using the annual data of peasant uprisings and antecedent socioeconomic and political conditions during the period 1800-1877. The study results strongly suggest that differential mechanisms between political protest and social conflict existed in the nineteenth-century, and that the applicability of a class conflict paradigm is, at the very least, dubious. Based on the results, combined with historical-contextual knowledge, an alternative explanation is also suggested.     

创建培养学生英语口语能力的特色课堂

大学英语教学改革以来，教学重点逐渐转向听说教学，侧重培养实用型人才，尤其是培养学生的口语能力更是课堂教学的重要内容。为达到这一教学改革目的，改变以往“哑巴”英语的课堂教学模式，利用有限的课堂时间，结合课堂教学的实际情况和学生的现状，制定一个循序渐进的课堂教学计划，从口语的基本功抓起，采用“瞬间记忆法”训练学生养成口语表达的辨析能力，并在课堂教学中充分展示英美语言的幽默内涵，借助一系列的教学手段和现有教学设备及辅助活动，激发学生的口语学习兴趣，创立以学生为主体的口语课堂教学，以培养学生的语言表达能力。

现代学术视野中的红学学科架构

学科体系之重建，是“红学”与现代学术接轨并与国际学界对话的前提条件。如果说“红学”是独立于文、史、哲等人文基础学科之外的“一级学科”，现代学术视野中的这门中华固有专学，至少应包括学科理论与方法研究、作者及其家世研究、版本文献研究、文本研究、红学史、红楼文化、翻译与比较研究、海外红学研究八个“二级学科”。     

《共产党宣言》中两大阶级发展轨迹的心理学阐释

《共产党宣言》从社会历史角度展现了资产阶级和无产阶级鲜明的阶级特点和独特的发展轨迹,厘清了阶级整体为开展无产阶级革命斗争起到的作用。但要细究阶级推动历史进步的动力,就要从构成阶级整体的个体入手,抽象出阶级中大多数人的共同特点,为研究阶级特点和发展历程的行为选择提供一条崭新的道路。站在心理学的角度,以全新视角看待阶级中的人和阶级的选择,有利于认清阶级发展的轨迹。
