In innovation-driven development, collaborative innovation is gradually becoming a critical sustainable way for prefabricated construction enterprises (PCEs). However, academia and industry do not have deep understanding of the (CIPCE), there lack quantitative-driven research. This study aims to analyze composition CIPCE measure operation process results mechanism based on order parameter. Firs...

Moving beyond a rhythmanalysis approach to banal mobilities and diurnal journey making – commuting, visiting, shopping, leisure this paper explores how place-dependent forms of transport shape the feel flow city. Theorizing city as polyrhythmic reveals multiple traces local/global past/present in socio-historically situatedness urban mobilities. Based on 20 months ethnographic fieldwork Ho Chi ...

As of now, the development and utilization marine resources have entered a new stage “refinement, orderliness, high quality”. It has become top priority to coordinate relationship among economy, ecology, society. At same time, comprehensive evaluation conjugacy composite system replaced single that only relies on economic indicators measure operation effect system. The operational needs be comp...

Friction is a dissipative irreversible process; therefore, entropy is produced during frictional contact. The rate of entropy production can serve as a measure of degradation (e.g. wear). However, in many cases friction leads to self-organization at the surface. This is because the excess entropy is either driven away from the surface, or it is released at the nanoscale, while the mesoscale ent...

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the C-1291G polymorphism in the promoter region of the alpha 2A adrenoreceptor gene (ADRA2A) to the personality traits. In the present study, data of the younger cohort of the Estonian Children Personality Behaviour and Health Study was used (N = 419). Personality traits were assessed by 240-item (Estonian Personality Item Pool NEO (EPIP-NE...

A recent article by Cashmore (1) addressed the ways in which the criminal justice system might be affected by not recognizing free will. The Oxford philosopher Bradley (2) examined this issue from a Darwinian perspective over 100 years ago. Like Cashmore (1), he found that the nonexistence of free will undermined the retributive principle of justice (2). Bradley (2) went on to note, however, th...

There have been relatively few studies on sign language interaction carried out within the framework of conversation analysis (CA). Therefore, questions remain open about how the basic building blocks of social interaction such as turn, turn construction unit (TCU) and turn transition relevance place (TRP) can be understood and analyzed in sign language interaction. Recent studies have shown th...

Work Domain Analysis (WDA) was used in a study of the workload of en route Air Traffic Controllers (ATCos) to help characterise the fit between different ATC simulated worlds and our research aims. A WDA captured the ATCo's reasoning space in a way that exposed potential sources of workload, and it was then applied to three cases. Case 1 was the use of a simple laboratory program originally dev...

CONTEXT Major depression is accompanied by activation of the hypothalamic pituitary axis and evidence of abnormalities in circadian and ultradian hormone rhythms. In addition, diminished negative feedback of cortisol on ACTH has been found. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to compare ACTH and cortisol hormonal patterns in women with major depression with normal control women. DESIGN...

The principal aim of this paper is to investigate whether it is possible to create a personality taxonomy of clinical relevance out of Eysenck's original PEN model by repairing the various shortcomings that can be noted in Eysenck's personality theory, particularly in relation to P or Psychoticism. Addressing three approaches that have been followed to answer the question 'which personality fac...
