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
No full textWe 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
Restricted Four-Valued Logic for Default Reasoning
No full textIn Reiter's default logic, it is possible that no useful information can be brought from inconsistent knowledge or no extension of incoherent default theories exists. In this paper, based on Belnap's four-valued logic, we propose a new variant of default logic called the restricted four-valued default logic to tolerate inconsistency and incoherency of knowledge in default reasoning. Our proposal can maintain both the expressive power of full default logic and the ability of default reasoning. Moreover, we present a transformation-based approach to compute the restricted four-valued extensions.EICPCI-S(ISTP)[email protected]; [email protected]

A fault-tolerant default logic
No full textReiter's default logic can not handle inconsistencies and incoherences and thus is not satisfactory enough in commonsense reasoning. In the paper we propose a new variant of default logic named FDL in which the existence of extension is guaranteed and the trivial extension is avoided. Moreover, Reiter's default extensions are reserved and can be identified from the other extensions in FDL. Technically, we develop a paraconsistent and monotonic reasoning system based on resolution as the underlying logic of FDL. The definition of extension is also modified in the manner that conflicts between justifications of the used defaults and the conclusions of the extension, which we call justification conflicts, are permitted, so that justifications can not be denied by "subsequent" defaults and the existence of extension is guaranteed. Then we select the desired extensions as preferred ones according to the criteria that justification conflicts should be minimal.Computer Science, Artificial IntelligenceSCI(E)EICPCI-S(ISTP)
Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis 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.
Restricted Four-Valued Semantics for Answer Set Programming
No full textIn answer set programming, an extended logic program may have no answer set, or only one trivial answer set. In this paper, we propose a new stable model semantics based on the restricted four-valued logic to overcome both inconsistences and incoherences in answer set programming. Our stable models coincide with classical answer sets when reasoning on consistent and coherent logic programs, and can be solved by transformation in existing ASP solvers. We also show the connection between our stable models and the extensions of default logic.EICPCI-S(ISTP)[email protected]; [email protected]

Abstract
By：Chou chen- tsung Advisor：Lin en-chung
The purpose of this research is to understand the current situation of the citizen’s subjective impressions on the spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam in Shu Lin City. The survey is carried out by self-designed questionnaires. The parents of the students in 10 ele mentary schools of Shu Lin City were taken as samples, 1000 que stionnaires were released, in which 825 effective copies were responded and returned (reaching a 93.0% share of all return questionnaires). The methods for analyzing the data are adopted from SPSS Statistic Software, which includes avera
ges, standard deviation,t-test,ANOVA…etc to analyze.The main findings are as below:
1. The subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the
Mainland spouses tends to be “ordinary” to “slightly
good.”
2. Regarding the subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens
on the Mainland spouses, there is a significant
difference on the four out of six different variants,
which are gender, occupations, marital status, and their
experience of contacting Mainland China spouses.
3. The subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the
Vietnamese spouses tends to be “ordinary”to “slightly
good.”
4. Regarding the subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens
on the Vietnamese spouses, there is a significant
difference on the three out of six different variants,
which are occupations, marital status, and educational
background.
5. There is a significant difference on the citizens’
subjective impres sion between the spouses from Mainland
China and those from Vietnam.
“Focus Group Interview” was also practiced to enrich the study. Based on the research result, some suggestions regarding the effective community educational policies are proposed.
1.Publicize the positive impressions of Shu Lin citizens
toward the spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam.
2.More researches and studies should be done by th
government and the academic institutes in order to
facilitate the positive understanding.
3.Encourage the positive reports from the media which
should be carefully regulated by the government and the
non-gover nmental organizations.
4.For schools, enhance multicultural teaching
environment;for the government, host more multicultural
exhibitions about the spouses from Mainland and Vietnam.
5.Make good use of the resources from schools and
communities to popularize the idea of “multicultural
community educati on” as well as to facilitate the
integration of different races.
6.The spouses from Mainland and Vietnam should learn
actively and positively to adapt themselves to the
lifestyles of the ir family and the community; therefore,
they are able to gain more positive interaction and
feedback from the peoplein the community.
Key words: Mainland China spouses, Vietnamese spouses,
Transnational marriage, Subjective impression
