Optimum constant-stress life test plans for Pareto distribution under type-I censoring

The paper considers the case of constant-stress partially accelerated life testing (CSPALT) when two stress levels are involved under type-I censoring. The lifetimes of test items are assumed to follow a two-parameter Pareto lifetime distribution. Maximum-likelihood method is used to estimate the parameters of CSPALT model. Confidence intervals for the model parameters are constructed. Optimum CSPALT plans that determine the best choice of the proportion of test units allocated to each stress are developed. Such optimum test plans minimize the generalized asymptotic variance of the maximum-likelihood estimators of the model parameters. For illustration, Monte Carlo simulation studies are presented.     

Open Access and Promotion and Tenure Evaluation Plans at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire

Department and program evaluation plans at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire were examined to see if these documents provide evidence that could be used to justify supporting the publication of peer-reviewed open access articles toward tenure and promotion. In an earlier study, the authors reveal that faculty members at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire are more unaware of open access publishing than their counterparts at larger universities. These findings dovetail with other studies that show that faculty members are reluctant to publish in open access journals because of concerns about the quality of those journals. The existing body of scholarship suggests that tenure-line faculty fear publishing in open access journals because it could adversely impact their chances of promotion and tenure. The authors of this current study sought to determine if department and program evaluation plans could influence negative perceptions faculty have of open access journals. The implications of this study for librarians, scholarly communication professionals, tenure-line faculty, departments, and programs are addressed.

Adolescents' Plans for Family Formation: Is Parental Socialization Important?

This study examines adolescents' plans for family formation (marriage and parenthood) and the congruence between their plans and their mothers' expectations and behaviors within these spheres. Using log‐linear and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models to analyze data from the National Survey of Children (N= 724 ), this study addresses mechanisms of family socialization (e.g., modeling and defining influence) informed by social learning and symbolic interactionist theories. It also reveals whether and how these mechanisms vary according to gender. Results reveal that family factors best predict children's plans, although peer groups also may be important. In addition, defining influence is stronger than modeling influence.     

中原文化及其在市场经济下的影响

中原文化是在长期的历史积淀中形成的区域性文化,其精神内核是质直忠厚、勤劳节俭、正统保守等,它以深厚的历史积淀孕育、熏陶了在这里生息的中原儿女,并创造了灿烂的古代文明。在社会主义市场经济条件下,中原文化的某些落后、消极成份,制约了社会的进步、经济的发展和人们观念的更新。     

辽宁沿海经济带发展规划风险问题初探

辽宁沿海经济带发展规划存在宏观战略风险,但是由于缺乏责任主体、风险损失难以度量、风险意识不强等因素,宏观战略风险容易被忽视。宏观战略风险主要来自外部环境的不确定性和实施部门内部组织管理体系的复杂性。借鉴企业战略风险问题研究方法,分析认为增强战略风险意识,加强宏观战略风险问题的理论研究,建立政府风险应对机制,把握政府参与经济的尺度,有助于降低风险,确保辽宁沿海经济带发展规划战略目标的实现。
