An Empirical Analysis on Why People Run Away from In-Feed Ads under Manufacturing Industry Innovation
Authors: Ziniu Jin Xiaobo Tao,
Published: August 2021

Thanks to the innovation in manufacturing industry,the rapid development ofdigital technologies such as mobile Internet and social media enables the appearance of up-to-date intelligent marketing methods. As one of them, In-Feed advertising becoming a fashionable approach due to its precise positioning and growing market share, problems such as loss of privacy and lack of trust arise which promote the avoidance behavior of consumer. Based on these facts, our study designs three experiments to explore the mechanism between the In-Feed advertising and the avoidance behavior of consumer. Furthermore, in order to give instructions on enhancing the communication effect of In-Feed ads, we tries to clarify the boundary conditions of consumers processing ads information. Experiment 1 examines the moderating effects of ad reviews between perceived relevance, threat appraisal and coping appraisal; Experiments 2 and 3 respectively examine the moderating effects of the connection strength and interaction frequency between consumers and ad-likers between the above variables. These three experimental results provide theoretical support and practical guidance for intelligent digital marketing and advertising.

Value Correlation of Deferred Income Tax In Industrialization
Authors: Wanzhen Yu Tao Zhang,
Published: August 2021

This paper collects 2670 deferred income tax samples from 211 listed industrial companies that have been surviving and continuously disclosing deferred income tax accounting information from 2007 to 2019. On the basis of ohlson model, earnings per share and net flow of operating activities per share are added as adjustment variables to analyze the impact of deferred income tax on stock prices. The results show that:(1) In the long run, DTAs are positively correlated with enterprise stock prices, while DTLs are negatively correlated with enterprise stock prices; (2) After adding the adjustment variable earnings per share, it is found that when EPS level is high, DTAs have a slightly downward negative impact on stock prices, while DTLs have little negative impact on stock prices. When EPS level is low, DTAs have a positive impact on stock prices, while lower earnings per share will accelerate the negative impact of DTLs on stock prices. (3) After adding the adjustment variable CFO, it is found that only when the CFO is sufficient, DTAs are really good news. It has a positive impact on stock price. If the CFO is poor, the positive impact of recognized DTAs on stock price is almost zero. In addition, when the CFO is high, the negative impact of DTLs on price will be accelerated.
Detection of Node Capture under Asynchronous Sleep Mode Based on Recurrent Neural Network
Authors: Jianyu Wang, Hao Sun Jintao Gu,
Published: August 2021

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have found numerousapplications in industrial manufacturing and people’s daily lives. However, security risks associated with the use of WSNs have also become increasingly pronounced. An attacker launching an internal attack on a WSNmust first physically capture several nodes, i.e., take control of the target nodes by acquiring, cracking, and analyzing important information carried by the target nodes, thus laying the groundwork for subsequent attack steps. Therefore, physical node capture is a critical step in an internal attack on aWSN. Detecting behaviorsthat indicatephysical capture of nodes provides an early warning of anetwork attack, allowing steps to be taken to prevent further attacks from being launched from the captured nodes. This paper proposes an RNN (recurrent neural network)-based detection method that can be used to detect node capture in WSNs with asynchronous sleep mode at an early stage (i.e., before captured nodes rejoin the network).Thus, the methodenables early detection of network attacks. During the decision-making process, a common monitoring mechanism that relies on cooperation between neighboring nodes is employed to improve detection accuracy. The proposed method obtains the sensor nodes’ states and makes a judgment with the help of RNN, achieving accurate detection of node capture under the condition of unsynchronized clocks. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed method’s capability to achieve high detection accuracy.
Engineering Characteristics of Natural Wide Grading Gravelly Soil in Construction of Extra-High Earth-Rockfill Dam
Authors: Et al. Zhan Zhenggang,
Published: August 2021

Wide grading gravelly soil is an advantageous anti-seepage material in construction of high earth-rock dam. From the experience of earth-rockfill dam construction at home and abroad, it is more and more common to use wide grading gravelly soils such as moraine soil, weathered rock and gravel soil as anti-seepage material in construction of high earth-rockfill dams. Regarding the engineering characteristics of natural wide grading of soil material for 300m core-wall earth-rockfill dams in this paper, a series of physical and numerical tests were carried out to study its permeability and mechanical properties. By comparing the characteristics of impermeable soil materials of the projects already built and to be built at home and abroad, the preliminary indicators of impermeable soil materials are as follows: 1) Combined with the existing engineering experience and test results, the content of particles with particle size greater than 5mm should be neither over 50% nor lower than 30%. The content of particles with particle size less than 0.075mm should not be less than 15%; the content of clayey particles with particle size less than 0.005mm should not be less than 6%. 2) It is appropriate to control the permeability coefficient of impermeable soil material at less than 1×10-5cm/s.
Research on Bearing Fatigue Life of New Type Tire Unloader based on Ncode DesignLife
Authors: Et al. Jingxiu Ling,
Published: August 2021

The new tire unloading machine is used for unloading and turning over the giant radial tire (weighing 6t). During the turning process, due to the huge inertial force of the tire and the collision force between the plywood and the tire, the tire unloading machine bearing is subjected to complex alternating stresses. It is difficult to predict the fatigue life of a bearing. To this end, the paper combines Ncode DesignLife, ADAMS and Workbench numerical analysis platform to predict the fatigue life of tire unloading machine bearings. At the same time, the ISO bearing life standard calculation method is used to evaluate the bearing life and compare the two calculation results. The research results show that the simulation prediction of the bearing life at the lowermost rocker arm of the tire unloader is 2190.56h, and the bearing life of the uppermost guide wheel bearing is 2025.56h. Accordingly, the ISO prediction results are 1717.12h and 1128.44h, which are basically in the same order of magnitude. It shows that the simulation method of bearing life prediction used in the article is reasonable. The research can provide theoretical guidance for the bearing type matching and service life of the giant tire unloader.

The Prospect Analysis of Sino-US Manufacturing Trade Friction Based on the Perspective of Evolutionary Game
Authors: Jing Yang, Xiaocheng Huang Jianjun Zhou,
Published: August 2021

The Sino-US trade friction since 2018 is an important turning point in trade relations between these two countries. As the world's two major manufacturing powers, the friction will have a profound impact on the world. This articlesorts out the comparison of economic and trade strength between these two countries in the past ten years, the dependence of import and export, and the changes in trade structure. Then we construct a dynamic evolutionary model of the strategic choices of these two countries in trade friction from the perspective of evolutionary game. Finally, we analyze the stability of the equilibrium point of the evolutionary game by copying the dynamic equation. The results show that when at least one of these two countries has a cooperative benefit less than the speculative benefits brought about by competition, (competition,competition) is the only evolutionary stable strategy combination, andboth of them will adopt competitive measures. The prerequisite for the combination of (cooperation, cooperation) strategies adopted by these two countries are that the net benefits obtained by the two countries' cooperation strategies are greater than the speculative benefits obtained when one side chooses to cooperate and the other side adopts competitive strategy. The probability that two countries choose cooperation strategy is directly proportional to benefits brought about by cooperation and inversely proportional to the cost of cooperation, the loss of sticking to the cooperation strategy, and the speculative benefits of abandoning cooperation. The trade policies of these two countries cannot be achieved overnight, but can gradually tend to be stable and balanced through mutual imitation and learning.

Optimization Extraction of Cladonia foliacea (Huds.) Willd: Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of the Key Enzymes Linked to Type II Diabetes
Authors: DOĞAN Nurcan , DOĞAN Cemhan , KOCAKAYA Mustafa
Published: August 2021

Cladonia foliacea (CF) is a type of lichen belonging to the Cladoniaceae family, used as traditional medicine for various diseases. It is known that CF has strong antioxidant and antidiabetic effects originating from various secondary components. However, the bioactivity of CF is significantly affected by extraction conditions such as temperature, liquid/solid ratio, and solvent type/concentration. Herein, the extraction parameters (temperature, liquid/solid ratio, and methanol concentration) of CF were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) based on maximum total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity, and α-glucosidase/α-amylase inhibitor activity. In the methanolic extraction of CF, 48.8 °C, 12.3 mL g-1 liquid/solid ratio, and 86.4% methanol concentration were determined as the optimum point. TPC, antioxidant capacity, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibition activities of CF extracted under optimum conditions were determined as 5.55 mg GAE g-1, 33.10 g sample/g DPPH, 68.78%, and 50.03%, respectively. These results suggest that extraction conditions may be a limiting factor in terms of bioactive properties and optimized extraction parameters may improve the potential antioxidant and inhibitory activity of key enzymes associated with type II diabetes of CF.
Natural Noise Can Influence Bird Foraging and Vigilance Behavior
Authors: Sweet Kate Antonia
Published: August 2021

Natural sounds are an often overlooked, yet important component of an animal's habitat. The acoustic environment
may be especially significant during foraging, because a noisy world can limit auditory surveillance. Here, we
investigated how natural noise structures the foraging vigilance trade-off to understand how intense acoustic
environments may have shaped antipredator behavior across the evolutionary past, and better inform conservation efforts in the present.

First, in Chapter 1, I directly compared the foraging and vigilance behaviors of captive song sparrows (Melospiza melodia)
in anthropogenic and natural noise. We recorded foraging trials in 4 playback conditions (roadway traffic, whitewater rivers, whitewater
rivers shifted upwards in spectrum, and amplitude-modulated rivers), along with an ambient control to assess which acoustic
characteristics make a foraging habitat risky. We found that sparrows increased vigilance or decreased foraging in 4 of 6
behaviors when foraging in higher sound levels, regardless of playback type, indicating a broad role for noise in antipredator behavior.

Next, in Chapter 2, I sought to understand the ecological relevance of these findings by examining wild bird behavior.
To do so, we broadcast the same whitewater river noise as used in our lab experiment across a riparian landscape. To
understand if the spectra of the acoustic environment affected bird behavior, we also presented spectrally-shifted
whitewater noise to produce a gradient of frequencies. Using 18 bird feeders placed across this landscape, we recorded
and analyzed behavior of the three most common bird species. Black-headed grosbeaks (Pheucticus melanocephalus)
and lazuli buntings (Passerina amoena) demonstrated an increase in at least one vigilance
behavior in high sound levels, while American goldfinches (Spinus tristis) and grosbeaks
altered some behaviors according to background frequency. Clearly, adjusting antipredator behavior in noise
is conserved across diverse bird species.

Taken together, our findings imply that natural soundscapes have likely shaped behavior long before anthropogenic
noise, and that high sound levels negatively affect the foraging vigilance trade-off in both anthropogenic and
naturally intense acoustic environments. These results are concerning in light of ever-increasing anthropogenic noise pollution.
“Original Environmentalists”
Authors: LeDonne Gregory B.
Published: August 2021

Scholars and the broader public have commonly viewed ranchers in the American West as part of the “environmental opposition,” a group of natural resource, or extractive, industries that opposed the modern environmental movement that developed during the 1960s and 1970s. Yet ranching differed from other natural resource industries in ranchers’ relationship with the environment and in the development of ranchers’ own form of environmentalism. This rancher environmentalism emphasized the conservation and wise use of the environment but was more complex and nuanced than observers typically recognized and did not view ranchers’ relationship with the natural world as merely transactional. Their environmentalism encompassed an appreciation for the sublime and sentimental feelings toward the land as well as the central belief that humans were a fundamental, necessary part of nature. Ranchers’ disagreements with traditional environmentalists largely resulted from those environmentalists’ emphasis on the preservation of the environment rather than maintaining a role for people in nature. This study uses the rewilding movement and the buffalo commons as examples to illustrate ranchers’ environmental beliefs. Rancher environmentalism led ranchers to contest the rewilding movement that evolved in the 1990s due to its association with radical environmentalists and its goal of recreating wilderness without humans. Their antagonism extended to the idea of the buffalo commons, a proposal to return bison and other native species to the Great Plains, and the real-world attempts to establish such an expanse. Ranchers did not support the buffalo commons because they equated it with rewilding and viewed it as calling for their removal. This opposition persisted despite the proposal’s origins as a land-use plan open to maintaining a place for humans on the Great Plains.
Freeport, the Environment, and the Amungme
Authors: Dawson Kole A.
Published: August 2021

The Amungme and Kamoro managed their environments for thousands of years in what is now Papua, Indonesia. In the late 1960s, seeking foreign capital to boost the nation’s economy, the president of Indonesia signed a contract with Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold, which by 1988 began mining one of the world’s largest gold mines with almost no environmental regulations in place. Freeport’s close relationship to the Suharto regime resulted in the company’s ability to evade consequences for environmental and social damage. In the 1990s, NGOs began publicly criticizing the company’s substandard environmental and social record, pressuring the company through negative international attention. Freeport hurried to shield its reputation by investing in environmental management plans and addressing the social tensions with the indigenous population. Although many have addressed Freeport’s involvement in the abuses leveled on the environment and the indigenous populations in the mining concession, there is yet to be an analysis of this relationship through the lens of environmental justice history. While demonstrating how the political, material, and cultural levels of an environmental analysis aptly describe the relationship between Freeport, the environment, and the indigenous people, this thesis will argue that Freeport’s attempts at remediation were simply a veneer to ward off critics against the mining operations; all the while the company’s social and environmental records worsened over time. Freeport disrupted the lives of the indigenous people, who nevertheless showed complexity and agency in the face of great change.
Developing Reading Instruction Observation Protocols for Special Education Teachers
Authors: Moylan Laura Ann
Published: August 2021

Considerable resources have been invested in identifying effective reading instruction methods for students with disabilities. Unfortunately, students are not routinely receiving instruction aligned with these practices, impacting their ability to reach their potential. To improve reading instruction, teachers need to receive observation feedback and evaluations reflecting instructional practices shown to be effective. One way to ensure teachers are provided with feedback consistent with evidence based reading instruction is to develop observation protocols aligned to these practices. This dissertation addresses this problem with three distinct, yet interconnected, articles detailing the development of reading instruction observation protocols designed to provide accurate teacher evaluations and feedback to improve reading instruction for students with disabilities. Each protocol is part of the larger Recognizing Effective Special Education Teachers (RESET) observation system. The first article explains the framework that was applied to develop both the observation system and an explicit instruction observation protocol. The second and third articles describe the development of a comprehension and a decoding instruction observation protocol. Development included a comprehensive review of literature and rigorous testing. Results indicate the explicit instruction, comprehension, and decoding instruction protocols will provide reliable evaluations of a teacher’s ability to implement instruction consistent with practices most effective for students with disabilities. Implications for practice and further research are discussed.

Authors: Guo Changyu
Published: August 2021

The abundant spectrum available at mmWave band can provide high capacity, high throughput, and low latency. In this thesis, we present experimental measurements for 73 and 81 GHz mmWave bands. Wideband propagation measurements were performed at the Boise Airport concourse C area and tarmac for both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of sight (NLOS) scenarios. Power delay profiles were recorded and analyzed with close-in free space reference path loss models and floating intercept path loss models. In addition, building material attenuation at 28, 73, and 91 GHz is presented. Measurements at 73 GHz for wideband and narrowband signal are performed with directional antennas. Moreover, wideband spatial fading measurements were performed at the Boise State University Micron Engineering Building and Boise Airport. The power delay profiles are recorded and analyzed with Rayleigh, Ricean, and log-normal models. Large scale path loss parameters at the airport, material attenuation and small scale fading parameters were computed. The results can help researchers and network designers in simulation and design of mmWave wireless networks.
A Low Cost Sensor System for Monitoring and Predicting Corrosion of Long Term Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage
Authors: Patel Vikram M.
Published: August 2021

With the closing of the Yucca mountain storage facility, on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel at reactor sites has increased and will continue to increase until a permanent storage facility is prepared. Dry storage canisters are used to store spent nuclear fuel waste over long periods of time, but are susceptible to mechanical failure via corrosion. This dissertation presents a system to monitor the integrity of the storage canister. Sensor data fusion algorithms have been designed to predict the integrity of the storage system and provide feedback for preventative maintenance. The environmental conditions that lead to corrosion have been replicated and detected by the sensor system within an environmental chamber and the predictive model has been able to estimate the time till failure of a sacrificial corrosion sensor.
First-Principles Studies of Nucleation of Atomic-Layered Molybdenum Disulfide by Atomic Layer Deposition
Authors: Lawson Matthew
Published: August 2021

This dissertation implements first-principles calculations to understand the nucleation mechanisms for
atomic layer deposition (ALD) of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) using MoF6 and H2S precursors.
ALD is a self-limiting process that can deposit a range of materials at the nanoscale, while maintaining chemical
stoichiometry, atomic scale thickness control, and can conform to high-aspect ratio substrate designs. ALD is extremely
sensitive to surface chemistry and morphology; therefore, it is critical to understand how these factors control deposition.

Density functional theory (DFT) was used to understand what factors can control the nucleation for ALD of MoS2
using MoF6 and H2S. Surface hydroxyls on oxide substrates help facilitate the formation of ionic MFx
(M = metal, x = 1, 2, 3) species, which thermodynamically drive the first-half cycle of ALD. DFT calculations were supported by
experimental measurements to validate computational predictions. DFT and experiment both confirmed that there are different types
of nucleation mechanisms during ALD of MoS2. The types of mechanisms depend on which precursor is introduced, and
highlights the complexities during nucleation of MoS2 during ALD.
Middle School Students' Reported Self-Regulation Strategies in Completing Online Mathematics Homework
Authors: Erlinger Pepper
Published: August 2021

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study is to benefit our understanding of the potential of online homework as it
relates to developing and supporting students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). This descriptive case study explores the use of
self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies reported by students in the context of completing online mathematics homework (OHW).
Eighth-grade students (10 total) from a traditional middle school were interviewed using a validated data collection instrument,
the Self-Regulated Learning Interview Schedule or SRLIS (Zimmerman & Martinez-Pons, 1986, 1988). Students’ open-ended responses
were interpreted using a framework of self-regulation theory and coded using 14 self-regulation strategies to identify the strategies
used and to understand differences or similarities among students among different achievement groups (low or high).

Students reported using a variety of SRL strategies while completing OHW. All but two students reported goal-setting and planning
and seeking social assistance (from teachers, adults, and peers). Additionally, this study identified two new categories of seeking
non-social assistance—online resources in general and those from the Khan Academy in particular.

Among achievement groups, students in the high-achievement group reported greater use of the cognitive SRL strategy organizing and
transforming, whereas students in the low-achievement group had more recurrent reports of no strategy. Students in the low-achievement
group reported use of the motivational SRL strategies, environmental structuring and self-consequences, whereas students in the
high-achievement group reported no use of motivational SRL strategies, but instead reported parent-initiated involvement.

Alcohol abuse is associated with genetic factors and is influenced by certain races and ethnicities. CYP2E1, which works on the endoplasmic reticulum, produces an enzyme that plays a significant role in alcohol metabolism. In relation to it, this study aims to identify the polymorphisms of CYP2E1*5B and CYP2E1*6 genes in alcohol drinkers of Papuan Ethnics. A total of 39 Papuans were analyzed for alcohol drinking habits. Alcohol drinkers were found to be 29 people (74.4%), and 10 people (25.6%) were non-drinkers. The drinkers mainly were late teenagers (89,7%) and males (69,2%). The CYP2E1*5B genotypes were c1/c1 as 94.9% and c1/c2 as 5.1%. Meanwhile, the CYP2E1*6 T/T genotypes were 56.4%, and T/A genotypes were 43.6%. The odd ratio for CYP2E1*5B were 18,5 and 7,7 for CYP2E1*6. p0,05 for CYP2E1*5B and CYP2E1*6 gene polymorphisms for alcohol drinking behavior in the form of frequency, duration, type, and volume of alcohol consumed. Furthermore, c1/c1 and c1/c2 genotype polymorphisms were in CYP2E1*5B; T/T and T/A genotypes were in CYP2E1*6 of Papuan ethnic at Yogyakarta. In conclusion, genotype c1/c1 had 18,5 times of the possibility of being alcoholic drinkers, and genotype T/T had 7,7 times of the possibility of being alcoholic drinkers in Papuan ethnic. It indicated that the type of genotype statistically did not significantly affect alcohol drinking behavior on the subject.
How Can We Improve Air Pollution?: Try Increasing Trust First
Authors: Cafferata Fernando G. , Hoffmann Bridget Lynn , Scartascini Carlos
Published: August 2021

Environmental policies are characterized by salient short-term costs and long-term benefits that are difficult to observe and to attribute to the government's efforts. These characteristics imply that citizens' support for environmental policies is highly dependent on their trust in the government's capability to implement solutions and commitment to investments in those policies. Using novel survey data from Mexico City, we show that trust in the government is positively correlated with citizens' willingness to support an additional tax approximately equal to a days minimum wage to improve air quality and greater preference for government retention of revenues from fees collected from polluting firms. We find similar correlations using the perceived quality of public goods as a measure of government competence. These results provide evidence that mistrust can be an obstacle to better environmental outcomes.

Pandemia y salud mental en la nueva realidad
Authors: Zarta Rojas Fabian Andrey , Juliao Vargas Carlos German
Published: August 2021

Durante la pandemia, aumentó el porcentaje de personas con circunstancias mentales poco saludables. En este artículo, proponemos algunas técnicas y prácticas de la salud mental en Colombia para lo que llamamos “la nueva realidad”, que consisten, básicamente, en una serie de cuidados y protocolos que nos permitan contrarrestar el riesgo ante el Covid-19. Sin embargo, surge la pregunta de por qué son importantes estas técnicas en la nueva realidad o pospandemia. La terapia propuesta permite a las personas mejorar su calidad de vida, reducir los niveles de estrés y la angustia o la ansiedad que se pueda presentar durante el confinamiento. La conclusión es que el devenir de la salud mental reposa en las políticas públicas, puesto que son las que deben garantizar que miles de personas en riesgo o que padecen algún tipo de trastorno mental tengan atención y cuidados psicológicos básicos.
Vinculación de la odontología a los sistemas de salud de Colombia y Uruguay

La actual pandemia por Covid-19 ha afectado de manera considerable a todos los sectores sociales. La práctica odontológica no ha sido ajena a dichos impactos. La presente reflexión hizo parte de un seminario que vinculó estudiantes y profesores de dos Facultades de Odontología de Colombia y Uruguay. Se buscó identificar de qué manera esta contingencia hizo evidente la escasa vinculación de la profesión a los sistemas de salud nacionales. Por tanto, se propone que esta crisis debe servir para que la Odontología reconozca la pertinencia de articularse de manera decidida a los modelos de atención en salud de sus Estados. Una apuesta que implica, a su vez, que la profesión reflexione sobre sus procesos de formación, de trabajo y de agremiación, todo esto con la intención de reconocer que garantizar una atención integral en salud bucal hace parte de la garantía del derecho a la salud y a una vida digna

Published: August 2021

The purpose of this research is to analyze self-regulated learning (SRL) level of senior high school students. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The research sample consisted of 21 high school students who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques are used in-depth interviews to reveal participant experiences related to SRL. Data analysis techniques are done by using Creswell's analysis model that uses the stages of data collection, reduction, and interpretation. The results showed that several main themes were found that support the SRL skills that senior high school students have to possess, including the preparation phase, performance, and the reflection. To be able to develop SRL skills senior high school students, the school, teachers, and parents need to provide opportunities for exploration to students in order to gain knowledge and solve problems on their own. Students also need to be given the freedom to arrange their learning process by their goals.
