In the past few decades, ship-source GHG emissions have increased significantly. As a large country with massive shipping activities, China has issued number of governmental policies aim promoting decarbonization and achieving green shipping. This study adopts Policy Modeling Consistency Index (PMC-Index) approach to quantitatively evaluate 15 representative that are dealing affairs different e...

Service quality is measured by customers’ satisfaction. Traditionally, the degree of satisfaction is calculated from the data obtained from questionnaires that have been filled by customers directly. The percentile of each different level of a customer’s satisfaction is employed to summarize and compare the quality of service provided by different enterprises. This approach does not consider th...

In a continuous setting, diffeomorphisms generated by stationary velocity fields (SVF) are invertible transformations with differentiable inverses. However, due to the numerical integration of the velocity field, inverse consistency is not achieved in practice. In SVF based image registration, inverse consistency is therefore often enforced through a penalty term. Existing penalty terms penaliz...

Clinicians should note that there is considerable variability in the reliabilities of the index and subtest scores derived from the third editions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III) and the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-III). The purpose of this article is to review these reliabilities and to illustrate how they can be used to interpret change in patients' performances from test t...

Background: Salivary characteristics include pH, salivary flow, consistency, composition, and saliva buffer capacity, so if changes occur, they will increase the risk of dental caries associated with initial process speed development. In addition to saliva, nutritional benefits can interfere increased incidence higher caries, reduced secretion, decreased qualitative in saliva. One parameters th...
