The authors investigated the role of perceived discrimination in association between adverse childhood experiences and psychological distress adulthood a sample individuals (n = 125) at university-based couple family therapy clinic. Results showed that majority had experienced four or more experiences, indicating high risk negative health outcomes. A significant indirect effect through on distress, even with gender, race/ethnicity, household income as covariates, was noted. Findings...

Because rice is one of China’s staple foods, studying the total factor productivity (TFP) great importance for food security. There are many similarities between production in China and Japan. Japan has achieved an effective supply high-quality under constraints insufficient resources limited environmental capacity. In this paper, we use DEA Malmquist index method to comparatively analyze efficiency industry Japan, as well its trends changes. The contribution each decomposition analyzed by...

Cd hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum L. was a promising plant used to simultaneously remediate Cd-PAHs combined pollution soil through its extra accumulation capacity and rhizosphere degradation. This article compared the strengthening remediation role of cysteine (Cys), glycine (Gly) glutamic acid (Glu) with EDTA TW80. The results showed that addition 0.03 mmol L(-1) Cys, Gly, Glu didn't significantly impact (p < 0.05) shoot biomass S. nigrum, but obviously increased concentration. Therefore,...

The important role of teaching evaluation system is embodied in: starting from the goal and vocational education activities. This paper studies optimization algorithm system, it not only makes involve basic mathematical operations, computer support required for data processing process high, but also improves degree optimization. In view these characteristics, this has conducted in‐depth research to fully prove feasibility superiority content article. specific summary as follows: (1)...

The principal objective of this study is to analyze welfare effects Japan’s rice import quota focusing on the simultaneous buy and sell (SBS) importation minimum access (MA) policy. Based utility function specified in study, constructed model adopted measure consumption patterns through estimating elasticity substitution between imported domestic rice, consumers’ preference parameters for different kinds rice. results showed that Japanese households prefer Besides, three scenarios adjusting...

Disaster water sources in underground coal seam always danger mining safety. The current electromagnetic methods are not effective to detect the disaster due noise interference generated by large metal equipment. To address this problem, direct resistivity method is proposed seams. relationship between distribution and faults was investigated, we found that a low indicates source. verify method, both numerical simulations field test have been carried out analysis results show can be used...

The study analyses the influence of technical barriers to agricultural trade carried out by Japan on China's fruit exports. In order measure tariff equivalents barriers, price wedge method is utilized. Based utility function specified in study, constructed model adopted evaluate elasticity substitution between imported fruits and Japanese domestic fruits, consumers' preference parameters for different kinds fruits. Sample data are chosen from beginning 2002 end 2015. estimated substitution,...

Abstract In this article, we explore the group output tracking consensus problem for discrete‐time strict‐feedback ‐order nonlinear multiagent systems that run repeatedly on finite time . A novel distributed adaptive iterative learning protocol is designed, which consists of two main components. The first component based time‐varying neural networks, used to approximate unknown function in ‐step ahead predictor. general, not all followers can access information regarding leader, complicates...

An improved generalized flexibility matrix-based method using matrix partitioning technique for structure damage identification is proposed. As an effective method, the requires fewer vibration frequencies and corresponding modal shapes compared with traditional method. By introducing a new of matrices involved in constructive process governing equation, simplifies calculation dramatic reduction computational cost while maintaining accuracy results. In case incomplete measured data, based on...

Abstract With the support of fund, recovery and dismantling volume WEEE in China have been greatly improved, but it is far away from provisions long term planning for construction renewable resources system. In paper, development waste electrical electronic products processing field analyzed, which we find shortcomings existing fund operation China. First all, paper analyzes influence household appliances on production industry by using partial equilibrium model, finds that expropriation not...

In this paper, the problem of perfect group consensus tracking is discussed for first-order discrete-time multi-agent systems with linear and nonlinear dynamic under directed communication topology. First all, two subgroups, distributed control protocols are constructed using iterative learning method, based on matrix theory compression mapping principle, sufficient conditions derived to achieve proposed protocol. The novel initial state laws proposed, which can make each follower agent...

Along with the strong propositions of freer bilateral or multilateral trade advocated by numerous organizations, traditional customs tariffs have been reducing even cutting down in recent years. However, more and non-tariff barriers to (NTBs) are prevailing attracting attentions from policy makers academic researchers nowadays. As a matter fact, there large amounts measures can be regarded as NTBs which refer all that distort excluding tariffs. This dissertation attempts study influence...

Introduction Homophobic discrimination and stigmatization, especially from healthcare professionals, are important stressors for gay men. Homophobia may be partly rooted in seeing some men having casual sex many sexual partners as a signal of mental problems. Sexual Strategies Theory (SST) suggests that such behavior is result different strategies women tend to adopt unrelated orientation per se . This study aimed investigate (1) the effectiveness providing an SST explanation men’s reducing...

Some men who have sex with (MSM) having more casual and sexual partners is interpreted to be a sign of mental disorder used justify negative attitudes toward them by some. MSM may internalize this attitude causing internalized homophobia (IH). According the strategies theory, result differences between men's women's unrelated orientation. We investigated whether explanation would reduce IH improve health in MSM. recruited 255 Chinese online using Wenjuanxing, Douban, Weibo, Tieba, Blued...

A generalized flexibility–based objective function utilized for structure damage identification is constructed solving the constrained nonlinear least squares optimized problem. To begin with, flexibility matrix (GFM) proposed to solve problem recalled and a modal expansion method introduced. Next, iterative optimization process based on GFM formulated, Trust-Region algorithm obtain solution of multiple cases. And then computing gradient, sensitivity analysis regarding design variables...

Abstract A generalized flexibility matrix-based objective function utilized for structure damage identification is firstly constructed. After transforming the into a constrained nonlinear least squares optimization problem, trust-region algorithm applied to find solution of inverse problem in multiple cases. Thereinto, sensitivity analysis with respect design variables derived using Nelson's method. At last, two numerical examples several cases are investigated, including steel truss bridge...

It is popular for people to purchase goods online, the college students are main part of customs shopping online. This study figure out what factors can influence online satisfaction by using a self-compiled questionnaire. Then this paper uses regression model analyze data collected from students. The results show that most shop once or three times week, and their average monthly consumption amount around 1,000 yuan. whole attitude presents positive among What’s more, affecting consumers...

This study evaluated the impacts of food safety policies on Japan’s Simultaneous Buy and Sell rice imports through measuring tariff equivalents policies. In order to construct an estimated model, a Japanese consumer’s utility function is introduced developed with preference parameters elasticity substitution. empirical part, positive list system traceability were analyzed assessed as critical Results showed that after implementation system, consumers’ for foreign substitution diminished....
