The development of Anthropocene Awareness Scale. by Donghun Kang, Moon Choi

“…After a series of reliability and factor analyses, the Anthropocene Awareness Scale was optimized into a unidimensional scale comprising eight items (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88). Designed to explore individual attitudes, the scale could provide quantitative researchers with an entry point into the Anthropocene discourse and facilitate empirical studies that generate evidence for environmental policies and education in the Anthropocene.…”

Normalized ground state solutions for the Chern–Simons–Schrödinger equations with mixed Choquard-type nonlinearities by Yipeng Qiu, Yingying Xiao, Yan Zhao, Shengyue Xu

“…In this paper, we study the existence and the limit behavior of normalized solutions for the Chern–Simons–Schrödinger equations with mixed Choquard-type nonlinearities and $ \frac{\alpha }{2}+2 < q < p < +\infty $. Moreover, we also get the relationship between the minimizer and the ground state solution under the Pohožaev–Nehari manifold of the Chern–Simons–Schrödinger equations.…”

α-spectrum estimation method for ARMA SαS process based on FLOC by WANG Shou-yong1, ZHU Xiao-bo2

“…The drawback of the parameter estimation method for ARMA SαS process based on fractional lower order moments（FLOM） was analyzed,and based on the conception of fractional lower order covariance（FLOC）,a new parameter estimation method of ARMA SαS process was proposed based on FLOC coefficient.Then,the α-spectrum estimation of ARMA SαS process was presented.By estimating the α-spectrum of ARMA SαS process and the sinusoidal signals that embedded in the α-stable noise,the α-spectrum estimation performances of ARMA SαS process based on FLOM and FLOC were compared in detail.Simulation results show that,for small values of alpha,the performance of the proposed α-spectrum estimation method for ARMA SαS process based on FLOC provides better performance than the method based on FLOM.…”
