Categorizing health-related cues to action: using Yelp reviews of restaurants in Hawaii

Yelp, a social media site, undeniably has an influence on consumers' food choice in spite of its ability to reflect consumers' real voice being criticized. Since unhealthy food choices contribute to health problems, such as obesity and malnourishment, we attempted to examine these problems by better understanding consumers through health-related cues to action—a construct from the Health Belief Model (HBM)— on Yelp Honolulu's restaurant reviews. Our research revealed 13 main categories: Ingredient, Type of food, Taste, Lifestyle, Cooking, Option, Price, Portion, Well-being, Nutrition, Hygiene, Emotional attachment and indulgence, and Feeling. We argue that these categories may ultimately lead consumers to make healthier food choices. In search of the most appealing way to communicate with the target group, underlying concepts that derived from these categories can be tested. Marketers in food industry (or public health policy-makers) can craft their strategies for healthy food brands/products (or healthy eating scheme) based on the concept test research. Moreover, Yelp can apply these insights in the development of their algorithm and filter system in order to help consumers find healthy food if they wish to do so. Restaurants can also improve their strategy, menu, and communication execution to meet the growing demands of health conscious consumers.     

TYPHOON PROCESS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE SURFACE CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHERN SOUTH CHINA SEA

A severe typhoon Utor,occurring between July 3 and 8,2001,brought heavy rainfall,strong wind and storm surge.Utor was responsible for tremendous destruction and economic losses in Philippines,Taiwan and Guangdong.An air-sea model system (MM5 and Princeton Ocean Model(POM))was built to simulate meteorological dynamics and ocean circulation in the South China Sea(SCS).In the POM the output of MM5 was used as the input data.With an increased number of vertical levels,a high-resolution planetary boundary layer scheme and updated landuse/vegetation data,the accuracy of computing wind,temperature and other meteorological fields are improved in near surface and upper levels in MM5 simulations.The simulated trajectory and wind speed of Utor are close to the observed results.The simulated distribution of rainfall is accorded well with measured data in the Pearl River Delta(PRD)area.At different meteorological stations in Hong Kong,the wind,temperature and sea surface pressure are well simulated.The simulated ocean surface current and surface temperature fields have an obvious rightward-biased response to the typhoon Utor,and the maximum velocity and the lowest temperature region appear in the 30 km of the right side of the typhoon track.The typhoon Utor could make the water 50m under the surface ocean unwell to surface and the ocean surface temperature decrease by about 2°C.

不同算法下生成的数字高程模型对比分析研究

目前数字高程模型的生成在大多数商用地理信息系统软件或遥感图像处理软件中都能实现,但提供的算法有所不同.结合目前常用专业软件提供的不同算法,对同一数据源的高程数据分别生成数字高程模型(DEM),进行对比分析后发现:使用现有专业软件生成的DEM均存在着差异,这些差异主要来源于不同软件采用的算法差别,并且DEM的差异具有空间分布的规律性和负高差多于正高差的特点.由此得出以下结论,TIN算法具有生成的DEM精度高等优点,LRS和Non-LRS算法具有生成的DEM结构简单等优点.若要进行三维显示、土方量计算等,则选择TIN算法生成;若要检查高程数据错误,则选择LRS或Non-LRS算法生成.     

基于中心与邻域系数均值关系的盲水印算法

为了能够更好的满足水印的鲁棒性和不可见性,提出了一种基于关系的DWT域盲水印算法,首先对原始图像进行二级小波变换,在小波系数的中频子带中,根据比较中心系数与邻域系数均值关系的方法来嵌入水印,水印嵌入前进行了最优置乩处理,使得修改的中频系数最少,从而保证了较好的不可见性.在水印的提取过程中无需参考原始图像,实现了全盲检测.通过对嵌入水印的图像进行加入噪声、滤波、压缩以及裁剪等大量图像处理实验,均能正确检测出水印,结果表明算法具有很好的感知效果以及较强的鲁棒性,可用于数字图像的版权保护.
