Formalist legal and economic theories axiomatically assume the "rational economic man" and the "inevitable optimal resource allocation by perfectly competitive markets," thereby justifying the ownership of corporate entities by the holders of capital assets. Professional cooperatives, guided by this formalist logic, predominantly serve the interests of capitalized large-scale peasants. In contrast, the organizational practices from mutual aid to comprehensive cooperation during the Chinese revolutionary period reveal an alternative possibility diverging from formalist logic. This alternative centers on community-based rationality of small-scale peasant households, promoting agricultural development by enhancing resource use efficiency through community mutual aid among smallholders to meet their collective production and living needs. This substantivist logic, grounded in mutual aid practices, can also provide direction for integrating small-scale peasant households into large markets in the contemporary context. 摘要: 形式主义法学和经济学理论将"理性经济人"和"完全竞争市场必然实现资源最佳配置"作为公理性的前提假设，据此赋予资本要素的所有者对企业法人的所有权。农民专业合作社就是以形式主义逻辑为主导、服务于资本化大农户的合作组织形式。与之不同的是，中国革命时期从互助到综合合作的组织实践，展示了不同于形式主义逻辑的另一种可能，即以社区集体理性的小农户为主体，通过小农户间的社区互助，在满足共同生产、生活需求的同时带来要素使用效率的提高，从而推动农业的发展。这种从互助实践出发的实体主义逻辑同样能够为当今小农户对接大市场提供方向。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid growth of data volume in the information society, the integrity and value density of data are getting lower and lower, but people’s personalized needs are becoming more and more obvious. How to quickly find valuable data from massive incomplete data for users’ personalized recommendation has became a hot spot of research. Combined with the upper bound pruning algorithm, this paper proposed a user-sensitive top-k dominating (TKD) query method (USTD). Firstly, combined with user’s interests, the method redefined the dominance relationship and its measurement method of objects on incomplete datasets, and calculate the weight dominance grade of the object. Then, it proved the condition of pruning according to the upper bound value by using the redefined dominance relationship. Finally, it integrated the upper bound pruning condition into the query process of USTD to quickly find the first k data satisfying users’ interests from the dataset. The experimental results show that the USTD algorithm has a certain improvement in query speed and a significant advantage in the scoring of query results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After taking office for the second time, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe continued the policy of the Liberal Democratic Party based on the government-official cooperation with dominance of Prime Minister’s office, and tried to break through the restrictions and shackles of the post-war pacifist constitution on Japan’s development, seeking to release political and military strength. Among them, security and economic development are the two main axes of the Abe regime. The specific measures are as follows: first, to reform Japan’s post-war security policy and exercise the right of collective self-defense by consolidating the Japan-US alliance; second, implement “Abenomics”, by which to provide strong economic guarantee for development, and use diplomacy as an auxiliary means by joining the TPP negotiations. The Abe cabinet has continuously strengthened the dominance of the Prime Minister’s office, greatly reducing the resistance of the party’s parliamentarians and bureaucratic groups in the policy decision process, and the policies and measures have been successfully implemented.

This study sought to explore the phylogenetic structure of a Taxus cuspidata plant community and the ecological processes driving it, and to reveal the relationship between species diversity and phylogenetic structure. Within the plant community of a Taxus cuspidata forest, the relationships between species diversity and phylogenetic structure, as well as their underlying ecological processes, were explored from the perspectives of phylogenetic and species composition. The phylogenetic analysis of the tree layer revealed 38 species of plants in 5 groups, and the phylogenetic analysis of the shrub layer revealed 19 species in 4 groups. With regard to the phylogenetic structure of the species community, phylogenetic overdispersion was observed in the tree layer in 46.40% of quadrats, and in the shrub layer in 46.08% of quadrats, indicating that species co-occurrence in these quadrats was primarily determined by competitive exclusion. In contrast, phylogenetic clustering was observed in the tree layer in 34.24% of quadrats and in the shrub layer in 25.12% of quadrats. In the tree layer, the phylogenetic structure indices net relatedness index (Inr) and phylogenetic diversity（Dp） were significantly and positively correlated（P＜0.01） with the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, the Simpson dominance index, and the Pielou evenness index; furthermore, net nearest taxa index(Int) was significantly and positively correlated（P＜0.05） with the Pielou evenness index. In the shrub layer, the phylogenetic structure index Inr was not correlated with any of the species diversity indices. Int, however, showed a significant negative correlation（P＜0.01） with species richness index, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, and Simpson dominance index, whereas Dp showed a significant positive correlation（P＜0.01） with the species richness index, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, and the Simpson dominance index. Thus, the phylogenetic structures of both tree and shrub layers consistently showed significant positive or negative correlations with species diversity, indicating that the phylogenetic structure of this community is closely related to its species diversity. To better protect the Taxus cuspidata community, its species diversity and phylogenetic structure characteristics should be comprehensively considered; the composition, origin, and evolution of its species should be studied from evolutionary and ecological perspectives; and protection plans should be formulated.

How to improve the proportion of cooperators is one of the key problems of autonomous cooperation in unmanned cluster operations. This research makes theoretical derivation and characteristic analysis on the strategy dominance condition of unmanned combat cluster based on multi-player public goods evolutionary game. It starts with the requirement analysis of autonomous collaboration in unmanned cluster firstly. And the evolutionary game model of multi-player public goods based on aspiration-driven dynamics is established. Then, the average abundance function and strategy dominance condition are constructed by theoretical derivation. Furthermore, the influence of multiplication factor, threshold and aspiration level on the strategy dominance of linear public goods game and threshold public goods game are simulated. Finally, the rationalization proposals to improve the proportion of cooperators and achieve strategy dominance are suggested according to the simulation results, and to provide decision-making support for the mechanism design of unmanned cluster operation.

[Objective] Super parent heterosis is one of the heterosis biological phenomenon, which was widely used in production practice. The genetic basis of heterosis formation is complex, and there were many theoretical studies. However, the theory of heterosis especially for o ver-parent heterosis is still under improvement. [Method] In this paper, based on the review of previous studies, breeding practice of maize inbred lines and hybrids, and the additive-dominant model, the mathematical expression of superparent dominance was deduced to explore the genetic basis of superparent dominance and its application in the selection of maize inbred lines and hybrids. [Result] The mathematical expression of intermediate-parent and over-parent heterosis was calculated as: HPHF1 ≈ Σy(d-a) and LPHF1 ≈ Σy(d+a). The genetic ba sis of superparental dominance is the difference of parental gene frequency and superdominant effect at a single locus. [Conclusion] The mathematical expression of intermediate-parent and over-parent heterosis was calculated as: IPHF1 ≈ Σy(d-a) and LPHF1 ≈ Σ(d+a), which can be used to guide maize breeding practice.

Besides the ‘on the table’ rules which could be openly discussed such as laws and other social norms, there are also another series of rules which is called Hidden Rule ( 潛規則 in Chinese), that only could be discussed ‘under the table’ about how to interact with others in Chinese society, that constituting dual rule structure along with the ‘on the table’ social order. In the view of functioning, individuals’ preference towards Hidden Rule could maintain the social order on the surface while benefit individuals’ self-interest with the methods under-table, which has the functional correspondence with the two level of conservatism presented by Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation. This research begins with the phenomena of hidden rule in daily life, then backtracks the traditional Chinese philosophical and historical origin. During the empirical study, we use the concept of ‘rule preference’ to construct the measurement of hidden rule preference, and establish the reliability and validity of the new measurement by using other measurements and behavior indexes. The result shows that 1) the new constructed measurement has good reliability, 2) the hidden rule preference and other measurements, including Right-Wing Authoritarian, Social Dominance Orientation, are interrelated but different concepts with each other, 3) and the hidden rule behavior indexes are significant related to the hidden rule preference, presenting the good validity of the hidden rule preference scale.

To solve the problem of Top-k query algorithm for widely used uncertain data without enough efficiency, a new parameterized Top-k query algorithm (ETK) was proposed based on the analysis of possible world model. The data probability and the score were constrained by the algorithm, and the top k data with the highest Top-k probability and the score were returned to comprehensively consider the two attributes of data probability and score. To improve the algorithm efficiency, the pruning methods were proposed based on data score, data existence probability and data dominance relationship. The proposed algorithm was compared with the previous algorithms, and the experiments were carried out for different parameters. The results show that the proposed algorithm has improved time consumption performance for dealing with uncertain data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solute transport in rock fractures is controlled by three mechanisms of convection， diffusion， and water-rock chemical reactions. The characteristics of reactive solute transport during the dissolution of rough fractures under the dominance of different mechanisms were analyzed， and the effect of roughness on solute transport was analyzed. The research results showed that there are four types of rough fractures dissolution processes， viz. uniform， non-uniform， extremely non-uniform， and uniform-non-uniform dissolution. In convection-dominated conditions， the fractures are dissolved uniformly， in chemical reactions dominated conditions， the dissolution rate at upstream of the fluid is higher than that at downstream. The initial roughness also has an important effect on the rough fractures dissolution process. Increasing the initial roughness will increase the water-rock chemical reaction rate， and at the same time， as the water-rock chemical reaction progresses， the fractures roughness will increase after the fractures are dissolved.

Considering the rational decision makers usually make the best choice to obtain high cost-performance results, further analysis is conducted based on the Pareto non-inferior solutions that are derived by solving a tri-objective optimization problem. Based on the concept of cost-performance ratio, the basic rule of ordering the Pareto front points is established, the concept of the adjacent points is defined, and the method for the selection of adjacent points is clarified. Based on the distribution feature of the Pareto front points and their adjacent points, the Pareto front change rate is calculated. The concept of sensitivity ratio is defined, and the bias degree of each Pareto non-inferior solution corresponding to each objective is calculated. The innovations are as follows:(i) a new dominance relationship that is formed by the Pareto front sensitivity ratio of the tri-objective optimization problem is used to obtain a subset that has a smaller range than the Pareto non-inferior solution set; (ii) the bias degree that corresponds to each Pareto non-inferior solution for each objective is quantified for the tri-objective optimization problems for the first time; (iii) the unbalance degree, which corresponds to each Pareto non-inferior solution for each objective, is also derived. Finally, the above calculation process is demonstrated by calculating numerical examples, and the results are compared with that obtained by other common methods. The results illustrate that the proposed method in this paper is feasible and valid. This research is a significant theoretical advancement for understanding the important features of Pareto non-inferior solutions and for solving tri-objective optimization problems.

To improve predicting accuracy further, this paper modified original Pareto dominance relation among the candidate solutions, and proposed a new method named d-Pareto dominance prediction using nearest neighbor. Combined with the characteristics of multi-objective optimization, it described the framework of d-Pareto and the conclusion that a d-Pareto dominance prediction could obtain a lower average prediction error rate comparing with Pareto demonstrated dominance prediction. Besides, it also explored the interaction between d-Pareto dominance prediction and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. Experiments on several classic MOPs were conducted and the simulation results show that prediction of d-Pareto dominance is feasible and effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
