Substantial research has been carried out to explain the effects of economic variables on obesity, typically considering only a few factors at a time, using parametric linear regression models. Recent studies have made a significant contribution by examining economic factors affecting body weight using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data with 27 state-level variables for a period of...
The study explored how authentic leadership (AL) affected employees' work engagement (WE) both directly and through the mediating role of employees' Psychological Capital (PsyCap). Using a correlation research design, the authors collected valid responses from 304 employees across organizations through a paper survey in Beijing (China). The results showed both authentic leadership and PsyCap positively...
The study aims to explore the influence of work-family conflicts on job involvement and organizational commitment, we also investigated the moderating effect of perceived supervisor support and the mediating effect of job satisfaction. 558 employees from small and middle size enterprise participated in our research, they came from 19 organizations including Eight different regions such as Beijing,...
Taking the group of IT R&D personnel as the research subject, we investigated 267 employees through the questionnaire of work-family conflict, work-family promotion, psychological contract and turnover intention. The results showed: 1) Work-family conflict negatively affects psychological contract, and positively affects turnover intention; 2) Work-family promotion positively affects psychological...
The purpose of this article is to explore the impact of different plan form of circulation systems on spatial information processing and orientation abilities of newcomers in unfamiliar large-scale commercial environments. Two shopping malls in Beijing were chosen to apply the same field experiments, which were in the same conditions except different types of circulation systems— one with multi-atriums...
A leading edge 14 nm SoC platform technology based upon the 2nd generation Tri-Gate transistor technology [5] has been optimized for density, low power and wide dynamic range. 70 nm gate pitch, 52 nm metal pitch and 0.0499 um2 HDC SRAM cells are the most aggressive design rules reported for 14/16 nm node SoC process to achieve Moore's Law 2x density scaling over 22 nm node. High performance NMOS/PMOS...

The influence of online store belief and product category on impulse buying was investigated in this study through empirical research. Path analysis technologies were applied to evaluate the research model based on the survey. The results showed that the consumer impulse buying for both hedonic and utilitarian products was influenced by the online store belief. This study will provide theoretical...
This study aims to probe the effects of teachers' and peers' communication style and quality on adolescents' cognitive and emotional learning by questionnaires and regression analysis. The relations between impact of emotional learning and academic learning are examined; and the intermediate variable of learning performance is found out to be learning motivation. Results show that students' perception...
Group buying online has become more and more popular in years. This article is expected to provide valuable references for sales activities in food and beverage service through the research and investigation on risk sources and the factors that affect the purchase intention. The questionnaire survey method is adopted in this paper of the research and investigation on risks sources and the factors...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used method to obtain high quality medical image of the brain. Post-processing MR images with segmentation algorithms enhances the visualization and measurement of soft tissues and lesions. However, the conventional algorithms are not perfect and there are still some regions which are not partitioned accurately. In this paper, a new ant colony algorithm...
In our previous work, we have developed an interactive system of artificial fish school for Visual Marine Museum in Hisashi Kawabayashi and Yen-Wei Chen (2009), Kanami Kobayashi (2005), Craig W. Reynolds (1987). In this paper, we focus our researches on its fast implementation and remote control. We propose to use parallel processing techniques and space blocking method for fast implementation. The...
In this paper, a uniformly redundant array camera (URA camera) using a heuristic method is proposed. The URA camera is one of the coded aperture imaging techniques. It has been used or proposed for X-ray imaging. In URA camera, the pinhole is replaced by multi-pinholes arrays arranged in m-sequences. So the URA camera can provide a two-dimensional image with a high resolution and high SN ratio. But...
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive technique in which biochemical information can be obtained in vivo. LCModel and QUEST are two quantization tools for magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In this paper, a comparison between LCModel and QUEST is presented. After a description of the methods, we compared their performance on quantification of dominant metabolites in the brains of a...
The purpose of this study was to explore the time course of cerebral lactate concentration in ischemic rat brain after sacrifice, in which area the morphology signal was still normal in the early phase. Ischemic rat model was used in this study. Eighty rats were fasted overnight before sacrifice and divided into 16 groups randomly. Lactate concentration was measured by using LD kit. Results showed...
In this paper, we study the grid based routing scheme of wireless sensor networks. First, by considering the transmission cost, the selection of the distance between grid nodes is mathematically analyzed. The optimal grid distance, which has the least transmission cost, is obtained to be the square root of the ratio between the radio energy dissipation and the amplifier energy dissipation. Based on...
Recently a growing interest has been seen in minimally invasive treatments with open configuration magnetic resonance (open-MR) scanners. In this paper, we proposed a semi-automatic non-rigid MR-CT registration technique for MR-guided liver cancer surgery in which cancer tissues are coagulated by microwave ablation. Because of the lower magnetic field (0.5 T) and various different surgical conditions,...
