The results of observed apparent resistivity show: ① The process of the deformation from microcrack to main rupture on the loaded rock sample could be characterized by the precursory spatial-temporal changes in the observation of apparent resistivity; ② The precursory temporal changes of observation in apparent resistivity could be divided into several stages, and its spatial distribution shows the difference in different parts of the rock sample; ③ Before the main rupture of the rock sample the obvious ″tendency anomaly′ and ′short-term anomaly″ were observed, and some of them could be likely considered as the ″impending earthquake ″anomaly precursor of apparent resistivity. The changes and distribution features of apparent resistivity show that they are intrinsically related to the dilatancy phenomenon of the loaded rock sample. Finally, this paper discusses the mechanism of resistivity change of loaded rock sample theoretically.展开更多

Utilizing information from the Financial Statements Statistics of Corporations by Industry, it verifies the precision of correlation coefficients using the Non-iterative Bayesian-based Imputation （NIBAS） and multiple imputation method for all combinations of common variables with auxiliary files. The following are the three important findings of this paper. First, statistical matching estimates of higher precision can be obtained using key variable sets with higher canonical correlation coefficients. Second, even if the key variable sets have high canonical correlation coefficients, key variables that are correlated extremely strongly with target variables and have high kurtosis should not be used. Finally, using auxiliary flies can improve the precision of statistical matching estimates. Accordingly, the durability of ROA in small and medium enterprises is computed. The author finds that the series of ROA correlation fluctuates for smaller enterprises compared to larger ones, and thus, the vulnerability of ROA in small and medium enterprises can be clarified via statistical matching.展开更多

Monoecious fig species and their pollinating wasps are in conflict over the use of fig ovaries which can either produce one seed or one wasp. From observation on Ficus virens Ait., we showed that female flowers with outer layer of ovaries (near to the wall of syconium) had no significant difference from that with inner and interval layer of ovaries (near to the syconium cavity), in which most seeds and wasps were produced. This meant that fig tree provided the same potential resource for seed and wasps production. Observation indicated that there was usually only one foundress in syconium at female flower phase and no com- petition pollinators. Measurement of the style length of female flowers and the ovipositor of pollinators indicated that most ovaries could be reached by pollinator’s ovipositor. However, at the male flower phase, production of seeds was significantly more than that of wasps including non-pollinating wasps but there was no significant difference between seed and pollinating wasp production when without non-pollinating wasps produced. This result indicated that non-pollinating wasps competed ovaries not with seeds but with pollinating wasps for ovipositing. Bagged experiment showed that the sampling fig species was not self-sterile which was important for figs and wasps to survive bad season. Seed production in self-pollinated figs was not significantly different from total wasps in- cluding non-pollinating ones. This might be related with the weaker competition among wasps since bagged figs were not easy to reach by wasps from outside.展开更多

Through the sensors of commercially available smartwatches we collectindividual mood states and correlate them with body sensing data such as acceleration, heart rate, lightlevel data, and location, through the GPS sensor built into the smartphone connected to the smartwatchWe polled users on the smartwatch for seven weeks four times per day asking for their mood state. Wefound that both Happiness and Activation are negatively correlated with heart beats and with the levelsof light. People tend to be happier when they are moving more intensely and are feeling less activatedduring weekends. We also found that people with a lower Conscientiousness and Neuroticism andhigher Agreeableness tend to be happy more frequently. In addition, more Activation can be predictedby lower Openness to experience and higher Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Lastly, we find thattracking people＇s geographical coordinates might play an important role in predicting Happiness andActivation. The methodology we propose is a first step towards building an automated mood trackingsystem, to be used for better teamwork and in combination with social network analysis studies.展开更多
