The theory of subdynamics is formulated assuming the existence of a spectral representation of the collision operator. This approach avoids perturbation schemes; however the presentation is formal. It may be used to develop further the theory as well as a starting point for a rigorous...

The paper is concerned with some theoretical and empirical attempts to obtain a unified equation for the thermodynamic properties of fluids that incorporates the nonclassical scaling laws near the critical point and crosses over to a classical analytic equation far away from the critical point....

Agricultural drainage ditches are considered as wetland ecosystems when they possess the characteristic hydrology, soil and vegetation of wetlands. In arid and semi-arid regions, wetlands receiving agricultural drainage have to cope with the conservative nature of salts leached from soils....

Wetlands in irrigated agricultural areas have great environmental benefits as agricultural pollution sinks; but agricultural development and water resources redistribution have caused these wetlands to diminish rapidly worldwide. This is the case in the YinNan Irrigation District (YNID) in the...

In contrast to the United States and European countries, China has witnessed a widening gender pay gap in the past two decades. Nevertheless, the size of the gender pay gap could still be underestimated as a result of not accounting for the low-wage women who have dropped out of the labor force....

Using meteorological data and mathematical statistics analysis, we take Jungar Banner in the northern farming-pastoral region of China for example, to analyze the fluctuations in the precipitation and average temperature in Jungar Banner during the period 1961-2009. We calculate the NPP value of...

Yunnan Province is the bridgehead for the opening of the southwest region in China, and the economic frontier of China-ASEAN economic cooperation, where the export of agricultural products plays an important role in promoting the openness of the southwest region and strengthening China-ASEAN...

Probability generating function (p.g.f.) is a powerful tool to study discrete compound Poisson (DCP) distribution. By applying inverse Fourier transform of p.g.f., it is convenient to numerically calculate probability density and do parameter estimation. As an application to finance and...
