Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Jilin Province Based on Improved TOPSISI Model by HOU Yue, LI Zhijun, WANG Huafan, HUANG Jiajun

“…The carrying capacity state of water resources is an important reference for stable social and economic development.On the basis of the water resources bulletins,statistical yearbooks,and national economic and social development bulletins of Jilin Province from 2004 to 2019,18 indicators such as the development and utilization rate of water resources are selected,and four evaluation subsystems including one for water resources are constructed.Moreover,the TOPSIS model based on the game theory and the combination weighting method is used to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) and the coupling coordination in the nine administrative divisions of Jilin Province.The results indicate that except for Changchun City,Baicheng City,and Siping City,where the multi-year WRCC is in Class Ⅲ,i.e.…”

Spontaneous thought separates into clusters of negative, positive, and flexible thinking by Marta Migó, Jessica A. Cooper, Philip A. Kragel, Michael T. Treadway

“…After the data was embedded into a 3-dimensional semantic space and fit by our dynamic model, unsupervised learning consistently grouped data into four clusters across all independent samples. These clusters were characterized by two distinct patterns of stuck negative thinking, a pattern of protective positive thinking, and a pattern of flexible mind-wandering. …”
