A GENERAL APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF SPATIAL SYSTEMS II. Two Examples of Application

The emphasis in this work is on the practical application of ideas set forth in Part I. Two studies involving spatial distribution are discussed: the distribution of human population in the Indianapolis, Indiana Region, and the world distribution of mammals. In the first, populations over the period 1890–1980 of Ihe 393 townships making up the study area are used to produce classifications involving various numbers of classes of township types. A test of the theoretical structure posed in Part I is then detailed. On the theory that the underlying relations involved cannot sustain a real world structure involving more than five functional classes, it is hypothesized that classifications involving more than five classes will be associated with township distribution patterns that conflict with Central Place Theory. This is shown to be clearly so. In the second study, the derivation of a five region partitioning of world mammalian distribution patterns is described. Discussion includes the introduction of a wholly new rationale for taxonomic revision based on biogeographic criteria (and ultimately the principles described in Part I). The study closes with a short argument regarding why the model described in Part I should not be labelled as either social physics or anti-humanistic.     

Spring Maize Yield Estimation based on Radiation Use Efficiencyand Multi-temporal Remotely Sensed Data

In order to develop highly accurate model for crop yield estimation,an approach of retrieving regional crop yield was studied by Radiation Use Efficiency (RUE) and remote sensing data,the Jifangzha irrigation is of Hetao irrigation district of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was selected as a research case.Based on this model,the difference of the Dry Matter Accumulation (DMA) between the maize’s different growing stages is made and a comparative analysis of the measured yields,and the predicted results based on this model.The results show that the DMA of the maize’s jointing stage is maximal,about 40% of total amount.The measured yield and the predicted ones based on the model has a greater correlation,the Correlation Coefficient was 0.853 and passed the reliability of 0.01.The difference of the DMA in different growing stages showed that the sensitive degree was displayed between main growing stages and yield,and that were some key aspects:the main limiting factor in growing stages and raising yield.These results indicate the model for spring maize yield estimation is feasible and effective based on the RUE and multi-temporal remotely sensing data.     

The surprising potency of implicit egotism: A reply to Simonsohn.

This article addresses Simonsohn's (2011) critique of field studies of implicit egotism. We argue that Simonsohn provides no compelling theoretical reason to believe that implicit egotism should be valid only in the laboratory. In addition, we argue that a careful analysis of most of Simonsohn's studies of implicit egotism shows that they provide little or no power to reveal real effects of implicit egotism. We conclude that it is more constructive to try to identify theoretically derived moderators of implicit egotism than to try to document that it is always spurious in the field.

WIPO Panels’ interpretation of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) three-prong test

The Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a unique process that resolves domain name disputes effectively and inexpensively. This paper, through an analysis of the UDRP three-prong test, revealed that even though the UDRP affords a great degree of discretion to the WIPO Panels deciding any given case, there is some consistency and predictability inherent in the UDRP process.     

一种基于词网名称策略的本体映射算法

分析传统名称策略在本体映射中的不足。提出一种新的基于WordNet名称策略算法,该算法实现名称核心词汇的WordNet定位用以消除词义模糊性。从而提高词相似度计算的精确度,并在词相似度合并中采用C—C原则,改善传统词相似度合并的盲目性。实验结果显示,该算法在保证查全率的同时有效的提高了查准率。

In the Hands of the People: Harnessing the Collective Power of Village Life in India

Top-down attempts by governments and charities to rebuild rural communities after natural disasters, or to rehabilitate slums, can leave communities feeling fractured. The Hunnarshala Foundation instead focuses on re-establishing social capital, providing funding and professional support for residents so that they can work together to improve their lot. This also reinforces the value of traditional artisans' knowledge in solving modern problems. Hunnarshala's Executive Vice Chairman Sandeep Virmani explains.
