Unbounded Linear Operators

Low-carbon tourism is an emerging issue of tourism industry and academia in recent years. Previous studies have provided us some reasons that tourists participate in low-carbon travel or not, however, these reasons are scattered in literature and not been integrated into the construct of low-carbon travel motivation or low-carbon travel constraint. Meanwhile, previous studies often designed low-carbon package tours through the perspective of operators, few studies have assisted independent tourists on how to save energy and reduce carbon in travel. Therefore, this book is focused into two parts. The purpose of one part is to draw on tourism related literature, to develop and test the Low-Carbon Travel Motivation and Constraint Scales. The purpose of the other part is to draw on tourism related literature, to develop and test the Low-Carbon Travel Behavior Scale.

The Politics of Higher Education: The Imperial University in Northern Song China uses the history of the Imperial University of the Northern Song to show the limits of the Song emperors’ powers. At the time, the university played an increasingly dominant role in selecting government officials. This role somehow curtailed the authority of the Song emperors, who did not possess absolute power and, more often than not, found their actions to be constrained by the institution. The nomination mechanism left room for political maneuvering and stakeholders—from emperors to scholar-officials—tried to influence the process. Hence, power struggles among successive emperors trying to assert their imperial authority ensued. Demands for greater autonomy by officials were, for example, unceasing. Chu Ming-kin shows that the road to autocracy was anything but linear. In fact, during the Northern Song dynasty, competition and compromises over diverse agendas constantly altered the political landscape

This study examined the relationship between ethical leadership and multidimensional organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs), specifically organization-targeted OCBs (OCBO) and individual-targeted OCBs (OCBI). In addition, the study examined the multiple mediating effects of selfefficacy, respect, and leader-member exchange (LMX) on the relationship between ethical leadership and OCBO, as well as the relationship between ethical leadership and OCBI. Through the application of a hierarchical linear model, an analysis of the results from 656 dyadic supervisor- subordinate data from 145 business units in Taiwan showed that both respect and LMX significantly mediated the ethical leadership-OCBO and -OCBI relationships. The implications of these results for theory and practice and directions for future research are also discussed.

This is a novel, not a text book, although the reader may like to use some of the content of this book for German language teaching or learning. This is a novel that is intended to serve a dual purpose: For reading pleasure and for picking up and/or boosting one’s existing knowledge of German. The book should be read chapter by chapter, starting from Part I all the way to the end of Part II, as the story and the progression of the language instruction and discussion follow a linear thread. As far as the story goes, the reader will find the two main characters, William and Becky from Hong Kong, both college students who have just completed their first year of a degree programme and are now on exchange to University of Freiburg in Germany for a semester – August to December, which eventually turns out to be a bit longer, extending to end of February. This is part of an internationalization programme that they are going through and capitalizing on. On arrival in Germany their first stop

社會科學研究方法一日千里，傳統上以線性模式來分析社會現象與教育現象的方式，受到不少質疑。近年來，社會科學界為了解決資料結構具有巢套與階層特性，常以階層線性模式（Hierarchical Linear and Nonlinear Models, HLM）或稱為多層次模型來分析，重點在於它更能掌握社會現象與教育現象的真實性，推論能更為準確，因而在企業管理、社會學與心理學運用的分析很多。 本書共分五篇，包括：背景導論篇、學理基礎篇、實證設計篇、實證發現篇，以及結論應用篇，並由十二個章節所組成，各章均有體系描述說明。本書分析的實例是以台灣國二學生參與TIMSS 2007資料庫中的122所學校、2,549名學生的學習成就資料為分析依據；這份資料具有階層性，同時樣本取樣具有巢套特性，因此適合進行多層次模型的分析。本書的應用分析有益於國內對於學習成就與教育研究的長足進步，並拋開傳統資料處理分析方式，來掌握教育現況的真貌。

原來攝影可以如此特別，奇幻地突破刻板的複製框架——非線攝影手法，讓平面影像躍然紙上！ ◎熱愛攝影的作者，將《非線文學》理論的特性，以實際拍攝技術化作精彩的影像藝術。 ◎除了介紹「非線攝影藝術」，從攝影技術、藝術分類到美學的發展都有詳盡說明。 ◎介紹自清末民初、從大陸到台灣各時期的攝影歷程，及當代知名的攝影家和學者。 ★收錄四百多張彩圖，〈非線攝影藝術作品賞析〉更是一場豐富且驚豔視覺的饗宴。 一本兼具專業與實驗性的攝影專書，以動態演繹靜態，讓文學平面空間化，創造令人驚豔的視覺藝術！ 簡而易懂的數位照相技術和科技設備，使得數位影像的取得和運用可以更多元，再透過軟體應用把不可能變為可能。非線攝影的特點是捨棄正經八百的對焦模式，不追求影像的真實感，而是追求影像的朦朧感、不確定感、動感、抽象化和介於抽象與具象間的非具象感覺，具有詩的特質，並打開攝影的另一面視窗 非線攝影藝術（Non-linear Photography Art），是傳統攝影進入數位攝影後所發現的一種攝影藝術拍攝手法。本書除了詳盡介紹非線攝影及其拍攝手法並附作品賞析，也依據非線文學理論歸納的十七項特性來檢視「非線攝影藝術」，發現它具有非線性、遊戲性、可重寫性、去中心性、隨意與自由性、無固定性、相互交叉重疊性、多視線性等特性。 作者的作品，〈墨韻圖〉呈現潑墨繪畫般的意境；〈流金歲月〉充分表現人生燦爛的輝煌感覺；而〈浮萍人生〉卻又為浮動不定的人生做了雋永的註解……這正是觀賞藝術作品的妙意：只在此心中，其趣意也在此心中！歡迎一起進入非線攝影的藝術世界！ 更多精彩內容請見 www.pressstore.com.tw/freereading/9789863589822.pdf
