We model the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic in China. We use early reported case data to predict the cumulative number of reported cases to a final size. The key features of our model are the timing of implementation of major public policies restricting social movement, the identification and isolation of unreported cases, and the impact of asymptomatic infectious cases.

<p> </p><p>We use a light use efficiency model (LUE)  to describe gross primary productivity (GPP) from 1982 to 2016 using the GIMMS-3g FPAR record and NASA MERRA-2 reanalysis, and explore how GPP trends and anomalies can be explained using annual changes in temperature and hydrology. The GPP model uses optimum LUE (LUE<sub>opt</sub>) inferred from the global FLUXNET network and extrapolated using solar induced chlorophyll fluorescence observations. We find that increasing trends in GPP at mid to high latitudes over the 35-year study period are due to reduced cold temperature of plant growth constraints. Our results suggest a persistent and increasing negative carbon-climate feedback at mid to high latitudes. We also find an increasing atmospheric vapor pressure deficit trends over the tropics, which represents an emerging positive climate feedback that results in a negative trend in GPP after the early 2000s. We expect that further warming, increasing water constraints, and disturbance events will significantly reduce global ecosystem productivity.</p>

Purpose The modern manufacturing industry has put forward higher requirements for the assembly accuracy of components with the development of the industrial technology. For precision assembly, the traditional assembly process study based on tolerance has had difficulty in meeting these requirements. Hence, the distribution of the form errors must be considered. The registration between the two mating surfaces with form errors determines the parts’ assembly position, and is the basis for the prediction and control of the assembly accuracy. This study aims to provide a new surfaces registration method which takes form errors into consideration. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a new registration approach based on the minimum potential energy. A unique set of contact points on mating surfaces that meet the actual conditions can be obtained and the spatial position of the assembled part is calculated. Findings The experimental results show that the calculated values are in good agreement with the experimental values. Furthermore, the root mean square error is within 2%, which proves the validity and accuracy of the approach. Originality/value This paper provides an effective and new method for precision assembly which takes form errors into consideration. The method can give the optimal solution of the contact points, which is more consistent with the actual assembly situation and provides a basis for predicting assembly accuracy.

This paper mainly analyzes the core contents of IA, which contain Organization System, Navigation System, Labeling System, and Search System. on the basis of former researches, the article puts forward a set of evaluation system with observation principles of second index for B-C e-commerce website IA, and endows different power to indexes with analytic hierarchy process, defines three different levels of IA, which are information dissemination, information-improvement and information exchange. According to those, choosing some sample websites to research on their level of IA, and acquires website IA situation in China. Additionally, it points out the strengths and weaknesses of China's website IA, and gives suggestions to the three different levels of IA. 234Copyright ⓒ 2014 SERSC systems' meaning, contents and evaluation perspective. Moreover, it will make a summary of the four systems' relations. Analysis on organization system2.1.1. Overview on organization system: Organization system is responsible for the classification of information, which determines the organization schemes and organization structures of information, making logical groups and the relationships of each group, so as to make the information orderly and structured. Organization schemes consist of Top-Down, Bottom-Up and hypertext organization schemes. To website IA, organization system is key, the foundation of navigation system and labeling system, also the bottom and the slowest rate of change of information architecture level.To the surfers, a good organization system will be easy to use and understand, extremely simple, can be quickly learned and mastered its internal logic and method. 235 and name on each page, so that users can clearly understand the content and structure of the site. Analysis on labeling system2.3.1. Overview on labeling system: Labeling system is responsible for the representation of the information, and determines the name, label or description. Generally, it includes navigation system label, index label, title label and icon label. Global navigation and particle navigation usually use text or icon to identify a large amount of information. Underscore is often used in context navigation to distinguish words with link from the common words. Index label are usually the key words, metadata, controlled vocabularies, etc its user may used to search, and are generally used to create an index for easy browsing. For example, words will appear between in the page code to act as an index. The heading label is usually plays the role of distinguishing the title from the text. The icon label provides an intuitive expression, such as a question mark indicates more help and that a magnifying glass more information.The label is a symbol of visual graphics or text in the form of transmission of information, which is easier for people to distinguish identify different things, plays the role of a schematic, instructions, identification or warning, has a stronger visual impact than the language, but also has l...
