Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Economic Growth:The Case of Yangtze River Delta in China

This paper firstly discusses why the economic growth in the Yangtze River Delta has been slowed down recently and suggests a need totransform the current input-based economic growth pattern into aninnovation-based one. Next, through our theoretical analysis, we find that the change of current economic growth pattern is just the innovative reallocationof production factors, and the new economic growth driven by innovation is mainly initiated by the transmutation of entrepreneurship. Finally, we test our belief with real-world evidence. It shows that the Delta has formed a mechanism in which entrepreneurship and human capital mutually promote each other. However, the interactive relationship between R&D expenditure and entrepreneurship has not been developed in general. In addition, excessive government interventions will do harm to the growth of entrepreneurs and economic development.
Plant diversity in tropical deciduous forests of Eastern Ghats, India: A landscape level assessment

A landscape level plant diversity and population inventory was made in northern portion of eastern Ghat region of India comprising mostly dry deciduous and moist deciduous forests. A total of 444 transects of 0.5 ha (5 × 1000 m) area each was used for enumerating trees. Diversity and density of herbs, shrubs, lianas and regeneration of tree species were assessed from 5 x 5 m size plots within transects. A total of 882 species belonging to 532 genera and 129 families were recorded comprising of 263 tree species, 78 species of shrubs, 138 species of climbers/twinners and 403 species of herbs. Shorea robusta, Lannea coromandelica, Madhuca india and Diospyros melanoxylon were the predominant tree species where members of Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae, Fabaceae and Combretaceae contributed to maximum species richness, stand density and basal area. The stand density ranged from 268 to 655 stems ha −1 while basal area varied from 6.65 to 22. 28 m 2 ha −1 . The tree density and species richness decreased with increasing girth class; highest number of species and maximum density was recorded for 30 to 60 cm girth class. Shannon-Weiner Index and Simpson Index varied in the range of 1.85-2.05 and 0.013-0.018, respectively. Regeneration of many tree species was observed to be poor.
SIMULATION OF A LIVING CELL : PART II *

This paper, which is being presented in two parts, is concerned with the problem of a realistic and useful simulation of a living cell, the simple unicellular bacterium Escherichia coli, the program being written in Fortran IVfor an IBM 360167 computer. The object is to represent the cell in such a way as to simulate its growth in real environments of a living cell, as well as during changes from one chemical environment to another. This simulation could also supply useful information for answering current questions in biology. In Part 2 of this paper the authors describe the method of evolving DNA and discuss cancer in relation to the computer simulation under consideration. Literature references cited in both parts of the paper, as well as the appendix to the work, are also presented.
Identifying of rice phosphorus stress based on machine vision technology

At present, the identifying of rice nutrition stress by the chemical analysis is time-consuming and laborious. Machine vision technology can be used to non-destructively and rapidly identify rice nutrition status, but image acquisition via digital camera is vulnerable to external conditions, and the images are of poor quality. In this research static scanning technology was used to collect images of the rice's top-three leaves that were fully expand in 4 growth periods. From those images, 14 spectral and shape characteristic parameters were extracted by R,G,B mean value function and Regionprops function in MATLAB. The R, G, leaf area and Area/Perimeter ratio were chosen as the key characteristics for identifying phosphorus stress by One-Way ANOVA.The results showed that the overall recognition accuracy of phosphorus stress were 87.5 %, 100 %, 92 %, and 100% respectively. Based on the result, the methodology developed in the study is capable of identifying phosphorus stress accurately in the rice. (L. S. Chen, S. J. Zhang, K. Wang, Z. Q. Shen, J. S. Deng.

Diet overlap between burbot (Lota lota (L.)) and whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus (L.)) in a subarctic lake

The growth of burbot in ultraoligotrophic Kilpisjarvi, a lake in northern Finland, is slow. The mean lengths of age-5 and age-9 burbot were 198 mm and 217 mm, respectively. Stomach contents of 45 burbot (144–274 mm) and 331 whitefish (117–345 mm) were analysed to determine any possible diet overlap between the studied species. According to logistic regressions, the main diet of burbot longer than 257 mm was fish, whereas the smallest burbot ( 294 mm) ingested insect larvae during the ice-covered period and insect pupae during the openwater period. Independently of season, most large whitefish (> 274 mm) ingested molluscs. The diet overlap between burbot and whitefish was thus highest during the icecovered period.

Physical Programming: A Review of the State of the Art

Most traditional multi-criteria optimization techniques require that the decision maker construct an aggregate objective function using the weights determined as a result of a trial and error process. Physical programming (PP) eliminates this tedious weight assignment process by providing decision makers with a flexible and more natural problem formulation. In PP, the decision maker specifies ranges of different degrees of desirability instead of defining weights. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of PP studies by classifying them into four major categories (viz., methodological papers, industrial engineering applications, mechanical engineering applications and other applications). Insights from the review and future research directions conclude the paper.

Large Ring Cyclodextrins - Recent Progress

Large Ring Cyclodextrins Recent Progress Summary Cyclodextrin (CD) is a common name for cyclic a-1,4-glucans. Not only the well known α-, βand γ-CDs, which are composed of six, seven and eight D-glucopyranose units, but also large-ring CDs (LR-CDs), with more than nine D-glucopyranose units, exist in the group. LR-CDs were found by French et al. in the 1960s; however, because of difficulties in the purification and isolation of LR-CDs, there were only two papers, written by French et al., before 1985. After the development of a preparation method for the mixture of LR-CDs in 1986, studies on LR-CDs started again. In the last decade, knowledge about the enzymatic production, physicochemical properties, structural features and inclusion complex formation abilities of LR-CDs has increased substantially. In this mini review, recent findings on the production, physicochemical properties, inclusion complex formation ability and applications of LR-CDs are discussed and shown.
W.Afzal, J. Prausnitz FOUR METHODS FOR MEASURING THE SOLUBILITIES OF GASES AND VAPORS IN LIQUIDS AND POLYMERS Introduction. Solubilities of gases and vapors at low or moderate pressures and ordi-

Introduction. Solubilities of gases and vapors at low or moderate pressures and ordinary temperatures have attracted attention from physical chemists and chemical engineers for more than a century. Experimental methods for measuring such solubilities have been reviewed in numerous publications; particularly noteworthy are the reviews by Weissberger and Rossiter [1] and by Battino and co-workers [2, 3]. The IUPAC Commission on Thermodynamics published a multi-volume series on Experimental Thermodynamics; in that series, Volume VII: Measurement of the Thermodynamic Properties of Multiple Phases [4] presents a valuable state-of-the-art summary. Other useful studies include discussions by Richon [5, 6], Raal and Mühlbauer [7], Malanowski [8, 9], Hala et al. [10], and Dohrn and Brunner [11]. This review is limited to four relatively new methods that, in our experience, are particularly useful for informing chemical process design; in a sense, it is a somewhat personal review because it emphasizes studies performed at Berkeley. No attempt is made here to provide a global review. Each of the four methods has particular advantages and disadvantages, depending on the nature of the solute and that of the solvent, and on operating conditions such as pressure. Accurate determination of solubility is not easy, especially if the solubility is very small. However, with care and attention to detail, the methods reviewed here can provide solubilities with uncertainties of no more than about 3 or at most 5 percent. Only the syntheticvolumetric method is applicable for those systems where the gas solubility at ordinary pressures is very small.
eFMEA — RAISING EFFICIENCY OF FMEA BY MATRIX-BASED FUNCTION AND FAILURE NETWORKS

Failure Mode and Effect Analyses (FMEAs) have been carried out and developed further for the last 60 years. The benefit of FMEAs is so significant that its application has become a standard in modern product development. It is even compulsory in some of the major industries. Under-lying methods and available software tools have been steadily improved and adapted to a wide variety of applications. But this support still does not assure completeness nor does it provide adequate efficiency. The approach presented in this paper enhances the procedure and software support of conventional FMEAs. The “enhanced Failure Mode and Effects Analysis” (eFMEA) pro-vides improved ergonomics and increased efficiency while guaranteeing the completeness of all required examinations at any time.

INTEGRATING PERSONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

The present project aims to introduce the use of Personal Learning Environment, PLE, in the educational practices at the Post-Graduate of Educational Psychology. Currently, this Post-Graduate program uses a Virtual Community as a platform for the promotion of the relationship between teachers and students from the several promotions of Master degree and Ph. D. The program also offers virtual classrooms to support the face-to-face sessions for mandatory subjects and for the complementary curricular activities. Our next step will be to add a new level between on-line classrooms and the virtual community and offering students the opportunity to build their own PLE. The main objective of our proposal is related with the use of a PLE platform in order to promote innovation in the design of higher education environments. The design should offer more flexibility and possibilities to combine the institutional (formal) virtual environment with a more customizable environment that the students should configure following their interests and preferences. In this way, students could have more control over managing their own learning processes. Using PLE platform, our aim is to encourage students to explicit and share with other some resources, services and online applications even to share their own network learning whereby they participate in different educational and professional contexts. In this proposal we describe the first phase of the Project. The main focus of this phase has been a pilot study in order to evaluate Elgg, an Open Source Social Networking Engine, as the technological platform to allow the students configuring their personal learning environments. We detail the overall design decisions regarding the selection and configuration of Elgg’s tools or widgets for building PLE. From our perspective, PLE building should consider three different levels of resources or widgets: widgets for elaborating information, widgets for sharing information and widgets for publicizing information. The different widgets, at the three levels, should offer the possibilities to work in three levels of "activity”: personal level, small group level and the whole community level. In short, from of our point of view, building a PLE suppose decide how to create, organize and maintain both the personal network of resources for learning as the persons from whom to learn at any moment. Finally, we analyze the structure of the PLEs configured by a group of 16 students over a semester and the effective uses of the possibilities offered by the several tools. We contrast too these results with the assessment of the students themselves about their experience in configuring and using these environments for learning.
The Translation of Active Participles and Hyperbolic Patterns into English

This paper reports on the findings of a survey that explores the translation of active participles and hyperbolic patterns from Arabic into English. The participants of the study were B.A senior students at the University of Jordan majoring in English language and literature. The data were collected through a researcher–developed survey of 60 items divided into 30 target sentences and 30 fillers. The findings suggest that the students’ translations were determined by several factors including the existence of equivalents for the hyperbolic patterns in English, having the knowledge about the availability of such equivalents, the belief that a word's class must be maintained in the target language in addition to the extent to which students understand hyperboles in Arabic. Moreover, the findings show that the students rendered hyperbolic patterns as nominal, adjectival or verbal depending on the semantic features of the target word and on the availability of the same notion with the same syntactic class in the target language. ةمجرت مسا لعافلا ةغيصو ةغلابملا ةيزيلجنلال صخلم : مدقت هذه ةساردلا جئاتن نايبتسا فدهي حاضيلإ ةيفيك ةمجرت بلاط نم ةعماجلا ةيندرلأا نم صصخت ةغللا ةيزيلجنلإا اهبادآو يف ةجرد سويرولاكبلا مسلا لعافلا ةغيصو ةغلابملا نم ةيبرعلا ةيزيلجنلإل . امأ لمج نايبتسلاا يهف نم دادعإ نيثحابلا ثيح غلب اهددع نوتس ةلمج ، نوثلاث اهنم يوحت ةلثمأ ىلع مسا لعافلا ةغيصو ةغلابملا نوثلاثو لا ةقلاع اهل عوضومب ثحبلا . ريشتو جئاتن ثحبلا ىلإ نأ ةمجرت ةبلطلا دق ترثأت ديدعلاب نم لماوعلا ، نم اهنمض دوجو ريظن ةغيصل ةغلابملا ةيزيلجنلإاب ةفرعمو ةبلطلا دوجوب اذه ريظنلا يف ةيبرعلا داقتعلااو هنأب يغبني ظافحلا ىلع ماسقأ ملاكلا ) مسا لعفو ةفصو فرظو ( دنع ةمجرتلا ةفاضلإاب ىلإ ىدم مهف بلاطلا ىنعمل ةغيص ةغلابملا ةيبرعلاب . امك ريشتو جئاتنلا ىلإ نأ ةبلطلا دق اومجرت غيص ةغلابملا ىلإ ءامسأ تافصو لاعفأو نيدمتعم يف مهرايتخا ىلع تازيملا ةيللادلا ةملكلل ةفدهتسملا ىلعو رفاوت سفن موهفملا عم سفن ةئفلا ةيوحنلا يف ةغللا ةفدهتسملا .

Probit-Based Traffic Assignment: A Comparative Study between Link-Based Simulation Algorithm and Path-Based Assignment and Generalization to Random-Coefficient Approach

Probabilistic approach of traffic assignment has been primarily developed to provide a more realistic and flexible theoretical framework to represent traveler’s route choice behavior in a transportation network. The problem of path overlapping in network modelling has been one of the main issues to be tackled. Due to its flexible covariance structure, probit model can adequately address the problem. Despite that probit is one of the most appealing choice models, due to the lack of closed form expressions for evaluating choice probabilities; it has not received extensive attention by network modeling researchers. This study is set out to focus on this approach of traffic assignment. Computational difficulty of application of probit model in the large-scale network equilibrium problem has triggered development of some link-based probit network loading methods which exempt the analyst from generating and maintaining path-flow variables explicitly. To the best of our knowledge, however, the bias of these heuristic link-based methods has not been studied so far. This contribution primarily focuses on investigation of such potential bias in link-based probit assignment methods. In this research, this bias for a certain simulated link-based method proposed in the literature is empirically considered and investigated through comparison with path-based probit equilibrium solution. Our findings indicate considerable level of bias for the examined link-based algorithm. Capable of representing utility correlation and heteroscedasticity, probit model has always been one of the most theoretically attractive models for representing route choice behavior. However, this soundness of theory could further be enhanced through combining the ideas of probit and random-coefficient modeling which enables the analyst to capture random taste heterogeneity over travelers as well. To do this, the notion of mixed probit model, as a generalization to classical fixed-coefficient probit, is introduced and applied to an illustrative network in this study, in addition to the main contribution of the article.
SIMULATION AND CALCULATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF HYPERPOLARIZATION-ACTIVATED CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE-GATED CHANNELS TO ACTION POTENTIALS

The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel, which mediates the influx of cations, has an important role in action potential generation. In this article, we describe the contribution of the HCN channel to action potential generation. We simulated several common ion channels in neuron membranes based on data from rat dorsal root ganglion cells and modeled the action potential. The ion channel models employed in this paper were based on the Markov model. After modifying and calibrating these models, we compared the simulated action potential curves under the presence and absence of an HCN channel and calculated that the proportional contribution of the HCN channel in the potential recovery phase was 33.39%. This result indicates that the HCN channel is critical in assisting membrane potential recovery from a hyperpolarized state to a resting state. Furthermore, we showed how the HCN channel modifies the firing of the action potential using mathematic modeling. Our results indicated that although the loss of the HCN channel made recovery of the membrane potential more difficult from the most negative point to resting in comparison with the control, the firing rate of the action potential increased in certain circumstances. We present a novel explanation for the HCN channels’ mechanism in neuron action potential generation using mathematical models.
Chip Formation in the Machining of Al-Si/10% AlN Metal Matrix Composite by using a TiN-coated Carbide Tool

This paper presents a study on chip formation in the milling process of Al-Si/10% AlN Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). It focuses on the effect of cutting parameters on the formation of the chip. Al-Si/10% AlN MMC reinforced with 10% AlN particle is a new-generation material that is suitable for manufacturing automotive and aerospace components. Several advantageous characteristics of this material include low density, light weight, high strength, high hardness and high stiffness. The milling process was carried out at dry cutting conditions by using TiN-coated carbide tool insert, which was developed by Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM). The machining parameters were as follows: a constant cutting speed of 230 m/min, feed rates of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm/tooth and cutting depths of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mm. The analysis of the chip formation was performed using a video microscope (Sometech, SV-35). The chips were formed because of the shear between the work pieces and the cutting chips during dry milling of Al-Si/10% AlN MMC. These chips were small, short and discontinuous with outer face cracks.
MULTIPLE IMPUTATION OF MISSING DATA IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT MODELLING

A multiple imputation technique is proposed to measure sustainable development using models of structural equations (LISREL) for the treatment of missing data. The reliability of such technique is verified comparing the estimation model with missing data to the estimation model with imputed data. The results show that the missing data problem significantly affect the estimation.
THE UTILITY OF EXERCISE TESTING IN RISK STRATIFICATION OF ASYMPTOMATIC PATIENTS 1 WITH TYPE 1 BRUGADA PATTERN 2 Short Title : Risk Stratification in Type 1 Brugada Pattern

26 Introduction:Risk stratification of asymptomatic patients with a Brugada type 1 ECG pattern 27 remains an unresolved clinical conundrum. In contrast to provocative pharmacological 28 testing in Brugada syndrome, there is limited data on the role of exercise stress testing as a 29 risk stratification modality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of exercise 30 testing in asymptomatic patients with type 1 Brugada pattern to prognosticate major 31 arrhythmic events(MAE) during follow-up. 32 Methods and Results:Treadmill exercise testing was conducted for 75 asymptomatic 33 patients with type 1 Brugada pattern and for 88 healthy control subjects. The clinical end 34 point of MAE was defined as the occurrence of sudden cardiac death(SCD) or resuscitated 35 ventricular fibrillation(VF). During a follow-up of 77.9+28.9 months, 8 MAE occurred(5 VF 36 and 3 SCD). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the following were 37 independent predictors of MAE in asymptomatic patients with a type 1 Brugada pattern: 38 increase in S wave upslope duration ratio >30% at peak exercise(HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.0839 10.97,p=0.023),augmentation of J point elevation in lead aVR> 2mm in late recovery(HR 40 1.88, 95% 1.21 – 15.67,p=0.011) and delayed HR recovery(HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.0641 18.22,p=0.042). A high risk cohort was identified by the final step wise regression model 42 with good accuracy (specificity=98.4%,sensitivity=62.5%) and discriminative 43 power(AUC=0.93,95%CI 0.89-0.96,p=0.002). Kaplan Meier analysis revealed that there 44 increasing MAE in subjects with one, two,or three predictors(log rank p<0.001). 45
