试论王昌龄绝句中的“厚”意蕴

唐代诗人王昌龄的绝句创作体现了中国古典诗学的重要审美范畴——厚。这种"厚"的审美意蕴具体表现为:绝句思想内容的充实丰厚,性情意绪的真朴内敛,风格特色的含蓄深曲,艺术构思的缜密细致。无论是有意而为还是无意而成,王昌龄的绝句都与"厚"这一审美范畴有着紧密联系。     

Cell-to-switch level planning in mobile wireless networks for efficient management of radio resources

A major step in effectively managing radio resources in a cellular network is to design an appropriate scheme for assigning cells to a location area (LA), serviced by a switch, and allocate resources for individual switches. However, this assignment is already proven in the literature to be an NP-hard problem [Merchant A, Sengupta B. Assignment of cells to switches in PCS networks. IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking 3(5) (1995) 521–6] that requires efficient heuristic search techniques for obtaining real-time solutions. This work presents a state-space search technique, which is a variant of best first search heuristic technique. The algorithm called the block depth first search (BDFS), allocates cells to switches during switch level resource planning. Under various simulated performance criteria, we compare the performance of the proposed technique with other similar procedures in the literature. Our results indicate that the BDFS outperforms the meta-heuristic procedures in terms of both efficiency and quality of solutions. Hence, we conclude that our proposed technique can be effectively used for switch level planning leading to an efficient management of scarce radio resource in cellular networks.     

Depth Measures for Multivariate Functional Data

In this article, we address the problem of mining and analyzing multivariate functional data. That is, data where each observation is a set of possibly correlated functions. Complex data of this kind is more and more common in many research fields, particularly in the biomedical context. In this work, we propose and apply a new concept of depth measure for multivariate functional data. With this new depth measure it is possible to generalize robust statistics, such as the median, to the multivariate functional framework, which in turn allows the application of outlier detection, boxplots construction, and nonparametric tests also in this more general framework. We present an application to Electrocardiographic (ECG) signals.     

Exploring the Importance of Business Clockspeed as a Moderator for Determinants of Supplier Network Performance*

As the importance of supplier networks becomes increasingly recognized as a vital factor to company performance, researchers and practitioners alike are focusing their attention on this subject. The study's main objective is to test the specific hypotheses that effective use of Information Technology (IT) and the depth of company relationships with suppliers are directly related to Supplier Network (SN) performance, and that industry clockspeed moderates these relationships. A convenience sample of 135 manufacturing organizations was used to empirically test these hypotheses. Our results indicate that clockspeed does moderate the relationship between IT use effectiveness and supplier network performance. The same is true in the case of supplier relations depth, and hence, managers are encouraged to pay attention to the items comprising network performance as a determinant of supplier network performance.     

Poverty,Government Policy and Public Opinion in Britain and Israel: A Comparative Analysis

What are the effects of public opinion on social welfare policies? To what extent is increased financial strain associated with stronger support for anti‐poverty policies? This article tests welfare state theory by comparing poverty, government policy and public opinion on poverty in the UK and Israel, based on rich and detailed comparable survey data on the conditions of the poor in both countries. The results show that, despite similar levels of income poverty and inequality, the poor have a considerably lower standard of living in Israel than the UK. There is considerably greater public support for the poor in Israel but limited government action to end poverty, whereas in the UK there is more limited public support for the poor but significant government action on poverty and exclusion. In both countries there appears to be only a limited connection between social solidarity with the poor and the political elite's rhetoric and action.     

Nonparametric depth-based multivariate outlier identifiers, and masking robustness properties

In extending univariate outlier detection methods to higher dimension, various issues arise: limited visualization methods, inadequacy of marginal methods, lack of a natural order, limited parametric modeling, and, when using Mahalanobis distance, restriction to ellipsoidal contours. To address and overcome such limitations, we introduce nonparametric multivariate outlier identifiers based on multivariate depth functions, which can generate contours following the shape of the data set. Also, we study masking robustness, that is, robustness against misidentification of outliers as nonoutliers. In particular, we define a masking breakdown point (MBP), adapting to our setting certain ideas of Davies and Gather [1993. The identification of multiple outliers (with discussion). Journal of the American Statistical Association 88, 782–801] and Becker and Gather [1999. The masking breakdown point of multivariate outlier identification rules. Journal of the American Statistical Association 94, 947–955] based on the Mahalanobis distance outlyingness. We then compare four affine invariant outlier detection procedures, based on Mahalanobis distance, halfspace or Tukey depth, projection depth, and “Mahalanobis spatial” depth. For the goal of threshold type outlier detection, it is found that the Mahalanobis distance and projection procedures are distinctly superior in performance, each with very high MBP, while the halfspace approach is quite inferior. When a moderate MBP suffices, the Mahalanobis spatial procedure is competitive in view of its contours not constrained to be elliptical and its computational burden relatively mild. A small sampling experiment yields findings completely in accordance with the theoretical comparisons. While these four depth procedures are relatively comparable for the purpose of robust affine equivariant location estimation, the halfspace depth is not competitive with the others for the quite different goal of robust setting of an outlyingness threshold.     

Envisioning emerging nanotechnologies: a three-year panel study of South Carolina citizens

This article reports results from a three-year panel study of a nonrandom sample of 76 South Carolina citizens, recruited from a variety of walks of life, and their impressions of emerging nanotechnology. This discussion focuses on material from depth interviews conducted alongside a baseline opinion and awareness inventory at the beginning of the study, the most intensive data-gathering phase. These results are placed in the context of data from three additional surveys conducted at about equal intervals over the three years, plus exit interviews from 21 of the 34 individuals who completed the entire study. The results give insight into popular thinking about technology but little indication of strong emerging concerns, a trajectory of amplification of those concerns, or opinion polarization over time, despite some awareness of risks and potential ethical dimensions. Nanotechnology may stand out more as an example of risk attenuation than of risk amplification, consistent with most results from national surveys.
