    Epidius ganxiensis (Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999), new combination (Figs. 3 A–J, 7) Philodromus ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999: 356, Fig. 2 A–G (types in HNU, examined) Material examined. – 2 males, 3 females (HNU), Ganxi Township, Tongdao County (26°03'N 109°17'E), Hunan Province, China, coll. C. Yin, X. Peng and Y. Zhang, 1 Jun.1996. Description. – Male palp with a spatulate VTA and 6 macrosetae in a row at tibial apex, conductor transparent, twisted and concave at apex; embolus slender, apically hidden under the conductor. Epigyne with a pair of spatulate sclerotized plates posteriorly; copulatory openings slit like, copulatory ducts complexly twisted; spermathecae curved in n-shape. Diagnosis. – This species can be separated from E. gongi (Song & Kim, 1992) by: the atrium slit-shaped laterally (pit like medially); the ratio of length of palpal tibia to palp = 1.2 (5.0 in E. gongi). Distribution. – China (Hunan). Remarks. – The species was firstly placed under the spider family Philodromidae. However, the male palp has a spatulate VTA and a row of macrosetae, which are the typical diagnostic characters of the genus Epidius of family Thomisidae. Philodromus ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999, should be transferred to the genus Epidius as E. ganxiensis (Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999), new combination.Published as part of Tang, Guo, Yin, Changmin, Peng, Xianjin & Griswold, Charles, 2009, Six Crab Spiders Of The Subfamily Stephanopinae From Southeast Asia (Araneae: Thomisidae), pp. 39-50 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 57 (1) on page 44, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.450821

    Comparison between a phenomenological approach and a morphoelasticity approach regarding the displacement of extracellular matrix

    Plastic (permanent) deformations were earlier, modeled by a phenomenological model in Peng and Vermolen (Biomech Model Mechanobiol 19(6):2525–2551, 2020). In this manusctipt, we consider a more physics-based formulation that is based on morphoelasticity. We firstly introduce the morphoelasticity approach and investigate the impact of various input variables on the output parameters by sensitivity analysis. A comparison of both model formulations shows that both models give similar computational results. Furthermore, we carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the skin contraction model containing the morphoelasticity approach. Most statistical correlations from the two models are similar, however, the impact of the collagen density on the severeness of contraction is larger for the morphoelasticity model than for the phenomenological model.Numerical Analysi

    [[alternative]]The study of the ocean sport’s attraction, service quality and behavioral consequences in Peng-hu

    [[abstract]]The main purpose of this study were to explore the relations between the ocean sport’s attraction, service quality and behavioral consequences in Peng-hu. The researcher applied the questionnaire of “the ocean sport’s attraction, service quality and behavioral consequences in Peng-hu “ and I drew 500 visitors as the research samples who participated in ocean sports in Peng-hu during August and September in 2005. The data collected from valid questionnaires were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation, stepwise multiple regression analysis and canonical correlation analysis. The results are as followed: 1. The ocean sports in Peng-hu attracted visitors to a certain degree and the whole service quality is comfortable to them. 2. The relationship between the ocean sport’s attraction and service quality in Peng-hu was positive to a certain degree, and the higher service quality is, the greater ocean sport’s attraction in Peng-hu is. 3. Within each factors of the ocean sport’s attraction and the service quality, “the specialty of designing activity “and “the comfort of the environment “ had the best prediction to the loyalty of behavioral consequences; “advertisement and spread of the main activity” and “personal requirement” explain “better than any other factors. 4. The canonical correlation analysis of the study was the ocean sport’s attraction and service quality in Peng-hu have a high and positive correlation with the loyalty of behavioral consequences; the ocean sport’s attraction in Peng-hu has a moderate and positive correlation with the tendency of complaint of behavioral consequences. Based on the results, we suggest the related organizations should:(1)strengthen the diversity of activity and develop package route of travel;(2)enforce the communication of information and promote the quality of complementary service;(3)integrate the resources and set up conservation area to build the continuous managing mold of ocean sport’s tourism. For further research in the future: incorporate the follow-up issue of ocean sport’s tourism with profound interview and pay equal attention to qualitative research and quantitative research. Extending the subjects to related organization administrators、managers and dealers、local people and foreign tourist etc. and proceeding a comprehensive research.

    Quasi-Static Voltage Scaling for Energy Minimization with Time Constraints

    No full text
    Supply voltage scaling and adaptive body-biasing are important tech-niques that help to reduce the energy dissipation of embedded systems. This is achieved by dynamically adjusting the voltage and performance settings according to the application needs. In order to take full ad-vantage of slack that arises from variations in the execution time, it is important to recalculate the voltage (performance) settings during run-time, i.e., online. However, voltage scaling (VS) is computationally ex-pensive, and thus significantly hampers the possible energy savings. To overcome the online complexity, we propose a quasi-static voltage scal-ing scheme, with a constant online time complexity O(1). This allows to increase the exploitable slack as well as to avoid the energy dissipated due to online recalculation of the voltage settings. We conduct several experiments that demonstrate the advantages of the proposed technique over the previously published voltage scaling approaches
