Numerical experiments show that the algorithm possesses such characters as high precision and preserving system invariants. More importantly, the generalized momenta based Lagrange's equations show unique advantages over the traditional Lagrange's equations in symplectic integrations.展开更多

However, interventions designed to increase social integration have not improved health suggesting important knowledge gaps on how social integration influences health outcomes. This study developed a new measure of social integration, daily social contact, capturing the interpersonal nature of social integration and mobility of individuals, and providing a direct assessment of individuals’ real-time access to companionship and social support. The data used is the 2006-2007 American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which surveyed 25,191 individuals aged 15 years and older (n = 4378 aged 65 years and older). Generalized ordinal logistic regression analyses revealed positive, but non-parallel relationships between daily social contacts and the ordinal categories of self-rated health among older adults. This study may be used to identify populations that experience social exclusion, such that future research can determine more precisely how to intervene to improve health outcomes.展开更多

The electromechanical integration design of in-piece tackling system based on the concept of generalized mechanisms is introduced. The design of the dividing equipment, the design of micro-feeding machine equipped with micro-level pressure sensor, and the realizing of computer path for patch snatching are investigated.展开更多
