An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Lowest electronic states of neutral and ionic LiN
No full textWe have investigated the potential energy curves (PECs) of the LiN heteronuclear diatomic molecule, including its ionic species LiN+ and LiN−, using explicitly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI-F12) calculations in conjunction with the correlation consistent quintuple- basis set. The effect of core–valence correlation, scalar relativistic effects, and the size of the basis sets has been investigated. A comprehensive set of spectroscopic constants determined based on the above-mentioned calculations are also reported for the lowest electronic states and all systems, including dissociation energies, harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies, and rotational constants. Additional parameters, such as the dipole moments, equilibrium spin-orbit constants, excitation energies, and rovibrational energy levels, are also documented. We found that the three triplet states of LiN, namely, X 3∑−, A 3Π, and 2 3∑−, exhibit substantial potential wells in the PEC diagrams, while the quintet states are repulsive in nature. The ground state of the anion also shows a deep potential well in the vicinity of its equilibrium geometry. In contrast, the ground and excited states of the cation are very loosely bound. Charge transfer properties of each of these states are also analyzed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the interatomic interactions. We found that the core–valence correlation has a substantial effect on the calculated spectroscopic constants.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Atmospheric Remote Sensin

Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
Full text linkThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.
Clustering using ordered weighted averaging operator and 2-tuple linguistic model for hotel segmentation: the case of TripAdvisor
No full textDataset related to this article can be found at https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2002.06854, an open-access repository hosted atarXiv (Antognini & Faltings, 2020)With the growth of online tourism, it is important to analyze the reviews left by numerous customers on social networks to improve the hotel’s online reputation. Hotel segmentation based on online reviews has attracted an increasing interest from many academics. The problem is that many hotel segmentation models overlook the fact that some customers focus on positive reviews when choosing a hotel, while others focus on negative ones. To address this shortcoming, this paper develops a novel approach to classify hotels using the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator, the 2-tuple linguistic model, and K-means clustering. The proposed approach has been evaluated with a real dataset from TripAdvisor, which contains more than 50 million customer online reviews on eight aspects of the hotel. The results show that the proposed model can produce denser and more separated clusters than the model without linguistic quantifiers. From a business point of view, this model enables hotels to distinguish customers’ perceptions (from the less demanding to the most demanding) about their eight aspects, allowing them to specify which of them need to be improved and develop strategies more quickly. At the same time, it introduces a new way of ranking hotels online, allowing customers to create personalized rankings of hotels based on their degree of demand for various hotel aspects (better location, cleaner rooms, etc.) rather than the average ratings, so that they can select the most suitable hotels more quickly.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Comunidad de Madrid (España)European CommissionDepto. de Estadística y Ciencia de los DatosFac. de Estudios EstadísticosTRUEpu
Enhancing set constraint solvers with bound consistency
No full textConstraint solvers have proved to be a powerful tool for both expressing and solving complex problems in many contexts, in particular in Automated Planning and Scheduling. In this work, we propose new constraints to enhancing an implementation of a constraint solver for sets of integers (ic_sets) embedded in the ECLiPSe system. This way, we confer a new vision of modelling that in particular allows a task to be planned on alternate days. In addition, these new constraints make finite domain and finite sets domains to cooperate, reducing the search space and improving the efficiency of the existing set solvers for some specific cases. We report on a prototype implementation and apply these constraints to modelling scheduling problems as benchmarks for a performance analysis. Experiments reveal a relevant improvement with respect to the standard ic_sets solver which only features cardinality as cooperation mechanism between domains. Both enhanced expressiveness and performance are key points for practical applications of such solvers.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (España)European CommissionComunidad de MadridDepto. de Sistemas Informáticos y ComputaciónFac. de InformáticaTRUEpu
