Evaluation of the one-sided percentage points of the singular multivariate normal distribution

This paper presents a new theorem, as a substitute for existing results which are shown to have some errors, for evaluating the exact one-sided percentage points of the multivariate normal distribution with a singular negative product correlation structure. By extending the result from the multivariate normal distribution to the multivariate t-distribution with corresponding singular correlation structure, we tabulate the one-sided critical points for the Analysis of Means procedure.     

“真的知识阶级”:鲁迅的现代阐释与价值选择

：现代知识分子是掌握知识，超越各种狭隘功利关系，能够依照人类生存理想引领人类精神，设计社会发展蓝图，走在社会最前列的先进群体。1927年，鲁迅提出了西方现代意义上的“真的知识阶级”概念，主要内涵是指精神上始终保持独立，疏远和偏离约束他们的体制，坚持自己的原则和道德标准，站在平民立场说话，不计利害，反抗专制，揭露谎言，说出真理，维护人类公平正义的社会批判者。     

Thinking of age: Personal reflections on critical gerontology

This essay is a reflection on how personal experience has inspired and shaped my ideas about critical gerontology. It is a writing from the inside about the outside world of intellectual discovery, apart from the typical narratives about career and research. I take this opportunity to explore the life of thought through my own life, and conclude that our ideas about aging are bred in those places where humor, tragedy, conflict, passion and sympathy make it imperative that we ask the questions we do as critical thinkers.     

看丁玲的不同距离与角度--评2012年出版的两部丁玲传记

2012年出版的两部丁玲传记各有特色，各有新建树。涂绍钧先生的《图本丁玲传》面向普通读者，以图文并茂见长，追求知识性与趣味性结合，尽量贴近传主生命本体，提供被人忽略的第一手历史资料及日常生活细节。秦林芳教授的《丁玲评传》面向的是专业研究者，以学理的剖析论说见长，作者站在独立的启蒙思想者立场，从文本细读入手，从作品看作家和论作家，追求学术性与创新性，力图以新的历史高度审视传主。     

论我国英语阅读教学中批判性思维培养的缺失

在英语教学过程中注意培养学生的批评性思维能力无疑具有极大的现实意义。调查研究发现,我国英语阅读教学一向过于强调传授英语知识,而忽略了对学生思维能力的培养。文章指出,传统文化的束缚、教育理念的落后、教师批判性意识的缺失等因素共同导致了英语阅读教学中批判性思维培养的严重缺失。     

翻译研究中的批评话语分析:政治语篇的视角

政治语篇(包括译文)与权力密切关联。虽然翻译研究中对译文和权力(包括意识形态)之间的关系有所研究,但尚未提出严格基于语篇的系统性方法来描述政治语篇及其译文,因而,研究结果不能比较,政治语篇的译文的描述和分析不能统一。因此,文章提出,批评话语分析可作为描述政治语篇的译文的一个系统性的工具。     

Designing Variables Sampling Plans with Process Loss Consideration

For the implementation of an acceptance sampling plan, a problem the quality practitioners have to deal with is the determination of the critical acceptance values and inspection sample sizes that provide the desired levels of protection to both vendors and buyers. Traditionally, most acceptance sampling plans focus on the percentage of defective products instead of considering the process loss, which doesn't distinguish among the products that fall within the specification limits. However, the quality between products that fall within the specification limits may be very different. So how to design an acceptance sampling plan with process loss consideration is necessary. In this article, a variables sampling plan based on L _e is proposed to handle processes requiring low process loss. The required sample sizes n and the critical acceptance value c with various combination of acceptance quality level are tabulated. The proposed sampling plan provides a feasible policy, which can be applied to products requiring low process loss where classical sampling plans cannot be applied.     

A One Sided Test Based on Sample Quasi Ranges

Abstract

Let the data from the ith treatment/population follow a distribution with cumulative distribution function (cdf) F _i (x) = F[(x ? μ _i )/θ _i ], i = 1,…, k (k ≥ 2). Here μ _i (?∞ < μ _i  < ∞) is the location parameter, θ _i (θ _i  > 0) is the scale parameter and F(?) is any absolutely continuous cdf, i.e., F _i (?) is a member of location-scale family, i = 1,…, k. In this paper, we propose a class of tests to test the null hypothesis H ₀ ? θ₁ = · = θ _k against the simple ordered alternative H _A  ? θ₁ ≤ · ≤ θ _k with at least one strict inequality. In literature, use of sample quasi range as a measure of dispersion has been advocated for small sample size or sample contaminated by outliers [see David, H. A. (1981). Order Statistics. 2nd ed. New York: John Wiley, Sec. 7.4]. Let X _i1,…, X _in be a random sample of size n from the population π _i and R _ir  = X _i:n?r  ? X _i:r+1, r = 0, 1,…, [n/2] ? 1 be the sample quasi range corresponding to this random sample, where X _i:j represents the jth order statistic in the ith sample, j = 1,…, n; i = 1,…, k and [x] is the greatest integer less than or equal to x. The proposed class of tests, for the general location scale setup, is based on the statistic W _r  = max_1≤i<j≤k (R _jr /R _ir ). The test is reject H ₀ for large values of W _r . The construction of a three-decision procedure and simultaneous one-sided lower confidence bounds for the ratios, θ _j /θ _i , 1 ≤ i < j ≤ k, have also been discussed with the help of the critical constants of the test statistic W _r . Applications of the proposed class of tests to two parameter exponential and uniform probability models have been discussed separately with necessary tables. Comparisons of some members of our class with the tests of Gill and Dhawan [Gill A. N., Dhawan A. K. (1999). A One-sided test for testing homogeneity of scale parameters against ordered alternative. Commun. Stat. – Theory and Methods 28(10):2417–2439] and Kochar and Gupta [Kochar, S. C., Gupta, R. P. (1985). A class of distribution-free tests for testing homogeneity of variances against ordered alternatives. In: Dykstra, R. et al., ed. Proceedings of the Conference on Advances in Order Restricted Statistical Inference at Iowa city. Springer Verlag, pp. 169–183], in terms of simulated power, are also presented.     

Global schemas and local discourses in Cosmopolitan

This paper investigates the representation of female identity and practice in the U.K., Dutch, German, Spanish, Greek, Finnish, Indian and Taiwanese versions of Cosmopolitan magazine . It shows how a 'problem–solution' discourse schema underlies a range of articles that do not all use a problem–solution genre. While this schema is clearly global and occurs in all the versions of the magazine, it allows for local variation in terms of the kinds of problems and solutions it can accommodate. The schema is described as an interpretive framework which constructs social life as an individual struggle for survival in a world of risky and unstable relationships. The community of readers of the magazine is described as a globally dispersed and linguistically heterogeneous speech community which nevertheless shares an involvement with the same modalities and genres of language and the same linguistic constructions of reality and which can signify its allegiance to the values of the magazine through dress, grooming and other behaviours.
