Since the outbreak of 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in December 2019, the Chinese government has implemented effective epidemic prevention measures. To provide useful information for governments to manage this public health crisis, we conducted an online survey among Chinese general population from February 24 to 28, 2020. In this study, we examined the impact of epidemic information and rumors on public's worries and attitude toward prevention measures during the outbreak of COVID-19. A total of 853 valid questionnaires (641 women, 75.1%) were collected from 24 provincial regions in China. Most respondents' ages ranged from 18 to 60 (833 participants, 97.66%). A mediation model was built to analyze the influence of epidemic information and rumors on worries and attitude. The results showed that the amount of epidemic information positively predicted public's worries, which in turn predicted a supportive attitude toward the prevention measures. Worries partially mediated the relationship between the amount of epidemic information and the supportive attitude. The amount of rumors negatively predicted the supportive attitude. The results of this study implied the importance of timely and credible information providing to evoke a certain level of worry and promote public cooperation, and the necessary attention to refute and resist rumors for effective risk communication in a public health crisis.

The relation between El Ni\~{n}o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) perplexes the researchers. Probably, this is due to the default choice on empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method whose outputs are merely static maps without evolution characteristics. To change this situation, the new extreme-point symmetric mode decomposition (ESMD) method is tried. It reveals that: (1) As the ENSO concerned, the key modes are the quarter-decadal and half-decadal ones; (2) As the PDO concerned, the key modes are the half-decadal, decadal and interdecadal ones; (3) The half-decadal mode can be seen as a mutual component for ENSO and PDO and it plays a key part in the so-called "ENSO-like" variation of PDO. In addition, an integrated version of ESMD is developed for time-space evolution. Its outputs have verified the warm-cold shiftings of ENSO and PDO for the most typical episode during 1997-2000., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures. Relative to the conventional empirical orthogonal function (EOF) approach, the advantage of the integrated version of our ESMD method goes without saying (please see the fresh figures in the last)!

Different to classical theories which emphasize east--west feedback along the equator, data analyses via the extreme-point symmetric mode decomposition (ESMD) method support a new viewpoint that the El Ni\~{n}o--Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle is horizontally dependent, rather than vertically dependent. The consistency between the ocean current changes and sea-surface temperature anomalies results in a current-generating mechanism for El Ni\~{n}o and La Ni\~{n}a events. The corresponding new findings are as follows: (1) The appearance of the Central Equatorial Countercurrent (CECC) and the enhancement of the North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) are primary causes for the occurrences of positive anomalies in the central and eastern Pacific, respectively. (2) In addition to the contribution from the CECC, initiations of the eastern and central Pacific types of El Ni\~{n}o events are mainly caused by the southward transport of warm water from the high-temperature sea-area off Central America, and from the eastern low-speed gap of the NECC, respectively. (3) The northern and southern branches of the South Equatorial Current contribute to the negative anomalies in the eastern and central Pacific, respectively. Particularly, the later transfers cold water from the southeast to the central equatorial Pacific in a direct way, and this implies the crack of the ENSO-asymmetry problem., Comment: 28 pages, 10 figures. Relative to the conventional empirical orthogonal function (EOF) approach, the advantage of the integrated version of our ESMD method goes without saying (please see the fresh figures in the last)! With the help of this new approach, we had found the ocean current generating mechanism for El Ni\~no and La Ni\~na

Introduction: Ectopic liver (EL) is a rare entity, which is reported to develop at various sites, such as the abdominal cavity, the retroperitoneal cavity, the pleural cavity, and the mediastinum. Patient concerns: A 27-year-old previously healthy Chinese man suffered from a discontinuous abdominal pain in the upper abdomen for 2 months. Diagnosis: The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed there was a polypoid mucosal uplift on the distal region of the esophagus near the cardia. Interventions: Endoscopic polypectomy was performed. Outcomes: Pathology examination showed the liver tissue. Conclusion: EL should be excised as it may possibly lead to the development of a malignancy. Endoscopic resection was found to be safe and reliable in this case.

In this work, we report the synthesis of a family of donor–acceptor (D–A) p-conjugated aggregation- induced red emission materials (TPABT, DTPABT, TPEBT and DTPEBT) with the same core 2,2-(2,2- diphenylethene-1,1-diyl)dithiophene (DPDT) and different amounts and different strengths of electron- donating terminal moieties. Interestingly, TPABT and TPEBT, which have asymmetric structures, give obviously higher solid fluorescence quantum efficiencies in comparison with those of the corresponding symmetric structures, DTPABT and DTPEBT, respectively. In particular, the thin film of TPEBT exhibited the highest fluorescence quantum efficiency of ca. 38% with the highest aAIE. Moreover, TPEBT and DTPEBT with TPE groups showed two-photon absorption cross-sections of (d) 1.75 *10 3 GM and 1.94*10 3 GM at 780 nm, respectively, which are obviously higher than the other two red fluorescent materials with triphenylamine groups. Then, the one-photon and two-photon fluorescence imaging of MCF-7 breast cancer cells and Hela cells, and cytotoxicity experiments, were carried out with these red fluorescent materials. Intense intracellular red fluorescence was observed for all the molecules using one-photon excitation and for TPABT using two-photon excitation in the cell cytoplasm. Finally, TPEBT is biocompatible and functions well in mouse brain blood vascular visualization. It is indicated that these materials can be used as a specific stain fluorescent probe for live cell imaging.

By constructing suitable Lyapunov functional and utilizing some inequality techniques, several input strict passivity and output strict passivity conditions are derived for the coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks with impulsive effects. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed results.

It follows from the review on classical wave models that the asymmetry of crest and trough is the direct cause for wave drift. Based on this, a new model of Lagrangian form is constructed. Relative to the Gerstner model, its improvement is reflected in the horizontal motion which includes an explicit drift term. On the one hand, the depth-decay factor for the new drift accords well with that of the particle's horizontal velocity. It is more rational than that of Stokes drift. On the other hand, the new formula needs no Taylor expansion as for Stokes drift and is applicable for the waves with big slopes. In addition, the new formula can also yield a more rational magnitude for the surface drift than that of Stokes., Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1304.1463

A new model other than the classical ones given by Airy, Stokes and Gerstner for the ocean surface wave is constructed. It leads to new understandings for the wave mechanisms: (1) A wave with bigger amplitude or smaller steepness travels faster; (2) The wave breaks when the front angle is bigger than 46.3 degree; (3) The magnitude of the wave drift should be smaller than that of the known Stokes drift., Comment: 34 pages, 10 figures

This paper aims to investigate the relationships between psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) in Chinese organizations. 500 employees from four small firms took part in the investigation. 350 valid questionnaires were collected with a response rate of 70%. The hypotheses were tested by a series of linear regression analyses. We found that psychological empowerment has a significant influence on both employees’ job satisfaction and OCB. The predictive effect of psychological empowerment on OCB is mediated by job satisfaction. Future research should investigate whether the relationship between psychological empowerment and work attitude is affected by other factors, such as the tension between employees and supervisors, and whether job satisfaction mediate the relationship between psychological empowerment and work attitudes (for example, organizational commitment and professional commitment). Key words: Psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior, supervisor support.
