Increasing the number of psychologists of color: Public policy issues for affirmative diversity.

This article identifies the key issues involved in the debate about affirmative action. The June 2003 Supreme Court decisions allowing consideration of race to ensure that there is a "critical mass" of African American, Latino/Latina, and Native American applicants to higher education are addressed. Social psychologists have identified key myths and provided clarifications about the need for and consequences of strategies used to promote equal opportunity for persons of color and women. A brief history of affirmative action and of the problems it was designed to solve is provided. The accomplishments, benefits, and compelling interest of diversity and affirmative action are described, as well as the concerns and counterpoints. The lack of a substantial applicant pool in psychology hinders progress toward diversity. Alternative strategies for remedying this lack beyond affirmative admissions policies in psychology are briefly discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

LTE下行MIMO模式自适应切换算法

由于用户在各种不同场景下采用不同的MIMO模式可以达到不同的传输效果,为了使用户达到平均吞吐量和频谱效率的最佳要求,提高系统传输率,研究了TDD LTE系统下行MIMO模式切换技术。搭建TDD LTE下行业务控制信道PDSCH仿真平台,对MIMO传输模式进行仿真实验,通过比较不同模式下的误码率和吞吐量的仿真结果,确定切换门限,提出MIMO模式自适应切换算法。在实际应用中,根据这种算法自适应地配置适合的MIMO技术,可以最大限度的提高系统频谱利用率,此方法优于单独采用一种MIMO技术达到的传输效率。     

卷积融合文本和异质信息网络的学术论文推荐算法

针对交互数据稀疏和推荐多样性问题,基于卷积协同过滤推荐框架提出卷积融合文本和异质信息网络的学术论文推荐算法（WN-APR）。首先学习不同语义下用户和论文的多样化特征,缓解数据稀疏问题;然后基于外积设计不同语义特征相互增强的方式融合它们,并使用三维卷积神经网络代替二维卷积神经网络充分挖掘不同特征对性能的影响;最后改进贝叶斯个性化排序损失函数增强推荐多样性。在CiteuLike-a、CiteuLike-t数据集上的实验结果表明,相比于基线模型,WN-APR在准确率和多样性的四个指标上都有所提升。     

基于种群多样性的自适应PSO算法求解VRPSPD问题

为有效求解逆向物流车辆路径(VRPSPD)模型,本文提出一种基于种群多样性的自适应PSO算法(SDAPSO)。在SDAPSO运行时,根据种群多样性,自适应地对种群中运行较差的粒子进行扰动操作,提升这些粒子向最优解收敛的能力;同时,对全局最优粒子进行概率扰动,以增加种群的多样性。标准检测函数的仿真结果表明SDAPSO算法是对基本PSO算法的有效改进。在对VRPSPD模型求解中,通过与其它粒子群算法相比,表明SDAPSO是求解该类问题的一种有效方法。

Good ergonomics and team diversity reduce absenteeism and errors in car manufacturing

Prior research suggests that ergonomics work design and mixed teams (in age and gender) may compensate declines in certain abilities of ageing employees. This study investigates simultaneous effects of both team level factors on absenteeism and performance (error rates) over one year in a sample of 56 car assembly teams (N = 623). Results show that age was related to prolonged absenteeism and more mistakes in work planning, but not to overall performance. In comparison, high-physical workload was strongly associated with longer absenteeism and increased error rates. Furthermore, controlling for physical workload, age diversity was related to shorter absenteeism, and the presence of females in the team was associated with shorter absenteeism and better performance. In summary, this study suggests that both ergonomics work design and mixed team composition may compensate age-related productivity risks in manufacturing by maintaining the work ability of older employees and improving job quality.     

一种基于混合量子粒子群的快速运动目标跟踪算法研究

量子粒子群算法在优化过程中需要权衡局部探索性和全局开拓性,进化后期由于全局开拓能力的丧失使得种群多样性减少,设计了一种基于欧式距离的混合量子粒子群算法,通过计算粒子的种群多样性,当种群多样性低于阈值范围时加入基于欧式距离的种群划分策略划分子种群,从而保证获得全局最优解。利用标准测试函数验证提出的混合量子群算法有效性。提出了基于混合量子粒子群的Mean Shift算法(HQPSO Mean Shift)完成目标快速跟踪,克服传统Mean Shift算法的在跟踪快速移动目标时出现"跟丢"的问题。     

当代广告文化多元性的表现形式与应对策略

在信息时代发展的过程中,广告作为一种较为独特的信息传播形式,也有着较久远的历史。社会生产力和文化相互结合促使了广告文化形成和发展,不同地区的经济水平、地域环境、民族传统、风俗习惯、宗教信仰的多元化赋予广告文化新的内涵,从特征和表现形式上呈现出显著的多元性。文章从当代广告符号元素背后蕴含的文化入手,呈现多元化特征,着重论述了广告文化多元性的表现形式,即时空多元性及性质多元性,旨在为当代广告人应对广告文化多元性提供应对策略和有益的指导。     

Relationship between Creativity, Imitation, and Cultural Diversity

There are both benefits and drawbacks to cultural diversity. It can lead to friction and exacerbate differences. However, as with biological diversity, cultural diversity is valuable in times of upheaval; if a previously effective solution no longer works, it is good to have alternatives available. What factors give rise to cultural diversity? This paper describes a preliminary investigation of this question using a computational model of cultural evolution. The model is composed of neural network based agents that evolve fitter ideas for actions by (1) inventing new ideas through modification of existing ones, and (2) imitating neighbors'' ideas. Numerical simulations indicate that the diversity of ideas in a population is positively correlated with both the proportion of creators to imitators in the population, and the rate at which creators create. This is the case for both minimum and peak diversity of actions over the duration of a run.
