Envisioning Possibility: Schooling and Student Agency in Children’s and Young Adult Literature

This article provides a rationale for using literature in the classroom to explore conceptions of curriculum and teaching. We discuss a number of exemplars from children’s and young adult fiction, both mainstream and less well known; offer a taxonomy for categorizing the range of visions of curriculum and teaching in the literature; and describe the responses of a group of middle school students to a unit that examined schooling in literature. We argue that reading literature which addresses student experiences in school can help students make sense of those experiences and, more importantly, open their minds to ideas about teaching and schooling that they otherwise might never have considered.John Kornfeld is Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the School of Education at Sonoma State University. His research in curriculum, children’s literature, school/ university collaboration, and the politics of schooling has been published in such journals as Theory into Practice, Social Education, and Theory and Research in Social Education.Laurie Prothro is a school library consultant and children’s librarian in Sonoma County, California. She specializes in collection development and young adult literature. Her most recent publication with John Kornfeld, entitled “Comedy, Conflict, and Community: Home and Family in Harry Potter,” appears in Elizabeth Heilman’s Harry Potter’s World: Multidisciplinary Critical Perspectives.     

Boundary control of a linear distributed parameter bioprocess

This paper is concerned with boundary control of a linear distributed parameter bioprocess. Huang's result (Ann. Differential Equations 1(1) (1985) 43) on the spectrum determined growth assumption is applied to prove that the closed-loop system becomes exponentially stable under a certain condition with respect to the feedback gain. Moreover, it is shown that the decay rate of the open-loop system is given by letting the feedback gain tend to zero.     

基于产品创新度的NPD项目关键成功因素研究

 在国外相关文献分析的基础之上，建立了一个企业新产品研发（NPD）项目关键成功因素的概念模型，通过分析不同创新程度NPD项目关键成功因素的差异，提出了五条相关的基本假设；问卷调查了国内97家企业，对数据进行统计学分析，最终验证了五条假设基本成立。     

Undesirable economic growth via agents’ self-protection against environmental degradation

Our model analyzes the effects of the interplay between environmental degradation and consumption choices on economic growth dynamics and on economic agents’ welfare. We show that if private goods can be consumed as substitutes for environmental goods, then economic growth may be fueled by environmental deterioration. In this context, undesirable economic growth may occur, characterized by an inverse correlation between aggregate capital accumulation and economic agents’ welfare.     

基于规模和集群之上的企业技术创新行为研究

本文主要研究了企业规模以及集群对于企业技术创新水平的影响。首先分析了企业规模和集群各自对企业技术创新水平的作用，在此基础上，研究了两者对企业技术创新水平的共同影响，提出了一个“企业技术创新水平的无差异曲线模型”，并进行了简要的实证分析和检验。文章的结论主要为：存在一个阀值，以此为转折点，企业规模和技术创新水平的关系呈倒“U”型；集群度对于技术创新水平有正向影响，但是边际贡献递减；集群度越高，集群内企业规模阀值就越大；规模和集群度两者共同对企业技术创新水平的影响呈“无差异曲线”形态。     

LED产业集群中资源优化组织的关键路径——基于产业链创新协同平台视角

以提升LED产业集群中资源组织效率为目的,基于产业链创新服务平台视角,从产业链平台的业务流程出发,寻找资源组织的关键路径。基于提升资源组织速度的考虑,使用包括基本信息层、结构信息层、活动信息层、能力信息层和时间信息层的5层资源描述方法构建LED产业平台中虚拟单元。通过LED产业链平台中的应用,证明本方法在实践中是有效的。     

唐山城乡居民消费对经济增长影响差异化的实证分析

作为多年来经济总量位居河北省第一位的唐山市,这几年国民经济得到了飞速发展,消费需求总量的逐步扩大在一定程度上对经济增长的拉动起到了举足轻重的作用。本文建立了城乡居民消费水平与唐山经济增长关系的误差修正模型,研究表明唐山城乡居民消费对其经济增长有正向拉动作用,城镇居民消费的拉动作用比农村居民的要大。因而,采取措施缩小城乡居民消费的差距,统筹二者的发展,是唐山完成两个"率先"的目标、建成全面小康社会不得不面对的问题。     

WTO与农民收入增长研究

本文通过定性分析和定量计算，找到影响农民收入增长的最重要因素；结合WTO《农业协议》及我国农业资源变化趋势和中国人口实际，提出逐步加大财政支农力度及区别对待；加强农业和农村经济发展的宏观调控，结合各地实际，分类指导；采取灵活的土地承包政策，实现土地规模经营，提高土地的产出率等一系列增加农民收入措施。     

Externalities, technological complementarities and sustained economic growth

Externalities as conventionally defined miss many of the spillovers that are both causes and consequences of the technological changes that underlie economic growth. We introduce a much wider concept called technological complementarities. New general purpose technologies (GPTs) rejuvenate the growth process by creating technological complementarities, which are adequately measured neither by total factor productivity (TFP) nor by externalities. There would be major gains from technological change even if the returns on capital invested in innovation never exceeded the returns on investing in existing technologies so that there were neither externalities nor positive changes in TFP.     

产业集群内知识转移的小世界网络模型分析

产业集群内各成员之间通过知识转移这一社会行为建立了复杂的连接关系,研究表明,这些连接纵横交错形成集群的知识转移网络,呈现出典型的小世界特征。用小世界网络模型分析产业集群,并运用特征路径长度和集团化系数来表征集群成员间知识转移频率和集聚程度,旨在为促进产业集群发展提供一种新的分析思路。
