Drinking motives have been linked to alcohol consumption and drinking-related problems in western countries, but evidence about this relationship is largely lacking for Asian countries. We aim to assess the relationship between drinking motives and drinking-related outcomes in China, where alcohol use disorders are an increasingly important contributor to the overall burden of illness.Validated Chinese...
Introduction and Aims
The 20‐item Drinking Motives Questionnaire‐Revised (DMQ‐R)—which assesses social, enhancement, coping and conformity‐related motives for drinking—has not previously been used in China. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the DMQ‐R in China.
Design and Methods
DMQ‐R was administered to 612 current drinkers identified from a representative sample...
Wind power penetration to power systems is increasing rapidly in the recent years due to its environmental benefit, while wind power fluctuation also brings some problems to power system operation which impacts the transmission company's willingness to accept wind power. The most serious conflict influencing wind power development is that the currently adopted price of wind power on-grid does not...
We studied changes in landscape patterns, especially the trend of dessication at Zhalong Wetland using remote sensing, GIS techniques and analysis of a time series of satellite images from 1979-2006. Our results show: (1) The landscape pattern at Zhalong changed significantly. (2) The centroid of wetland shifted from northeast to southwest from 1979-2006, indicating the distribution of water changed...
Technology of O3-lmmobilized Bacterial Activated Carbon (IBAC) was used to develop a set of high quality drinking water producing system equipment. Water quality of influent and of effluent were monitored, results showed that permanganate index declined to 1.42 mg/L from 4.15 mg/L, which meant removal rate was 65.87%. Turbidity of influent was 2.75 NTU and of effluent was 0.53 NTU, which meant average...
