Translation Standards and Strategies for Trademark Names of Cosmetics
With the development of the society and the improvement of the people's living standard, people have gradually realized the importance of the external image while paying attention to the "inner beauty", so the cosmetics are becoming more and more popular. Proper brand name translation can not only bring consumers the feeling of beauty, but also enhance the brand level and promote products in the invisible way. This paper discusses the translation criteria and Strategies of cosmetic brand names, hoping to contribute to the development of this field
UNWED FATHERS AND FRAGILE FAMILIES
Nearly a third of all births in the United States today occur to parents who are not legally married. The proportions are even higher among poor and minority populations, 40% among Hispanics, and 70% among blacks (Ventura et al. 1995). Out-of-wedlock childbearing is occurring with increasing frequency in nearly all western industrialized countries. Indeed, the proportion of children born outside marriage is even higher in the Scandinavian countries than it is in the U.S. (McLanahan and Casper 1996). However, the U.S. is somewhat unique with respect to the involvement of unwed fathers in the lives of their children. Whereas in the western European countries, the vast majority of unmarried parents are living together when their child is born, in the U.S. only about 25% of unwed parents are cohabiting (Bumpass and Sweet 1989). At first glance, these figures would seem to suggest that American men who father children outside marriage are less attached to their children than European men. This impression is further reinforced by research which shows that a substantial proportion of never married fathers have virtually no contact with their children (McLanahan and Sandefur 1994).
State Ownership and Firm Innovation in China: An Integrated View of Institutional and Efficiency Logics
Using two longitudinal panel datasets of Chinese manufacturing firms, we assess whether state ownership benefits or impedes firms’ innovation. We show that state ownership in an emerging economy enables a firm to obtain crucial R&D resources but makes the firm less efficient in using those resources to generate innovation, and we find that a minority state ownership is an optimal structure for innovation development in this context. Moreover, the inefficiency of state ownership in transforming R&D input into innovation output decreases when industrial competition is high, as well as for start-up firms. Our findings integrate the efficiency logic (agency theory), which views state ownership as detrimental to innovation, and institutional logic, which notes that governments in emerging economies have critical influences on regulatory policies and control over scarce resources. We discuss the implications of these findings for research on state ownership and firm innovation in emerging economies
Tuning the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction in Pt/Co/MgO heterostructures through MgO thickness
The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in the
ferromagnetic/heavy metal ultra-thin film structures , has attracted a lot of
attention thanks to its capability to stabilize Neel-type domain walls (DWs)
and magnetic skyrmions for the realization of non-volatile memory and logic
devices. In this study, we demonstrate that magnetic properties in
perpendicularly magnetized Ta/Pt/Co/MgO/Pt heterostructures, such as
magnetization and DMI, can be significantly influenced through both the MgO and
the Co ultrathin film thickness. By using a field-driven creep regime domain
expansion technique, we find that non-monotonic tendencies of DMI field appear
when changing the thickness of MgO and the MgO thickness corresponding to the
largest DMI field varies as a function of the Co thicknesses. We interpret this
efficient control of DMI as subtle changes of both Pt/Co and Co/MgO interfaces,
which provide a method to investigate ultra-thin structures design to achieve
skyrmion electronics.Comment: 18 pages, 11 figure
Role of sea quarks in the nucleon transverse spin
We present a phenomenological extraction of transversity distribution
functions and Collins fragmentation functions by simultaneously fitting to
semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and electron-positron annihilation
data. The analysis is performed within the transverse momentum dependent
factorization formalism, and sea quark transversity distributions are taken
into account for the first time. We find the quark favors a negative
transversity distribution while that of the quark is consistent with
zero according to the current accuracy. In addition, based on a combined
analysis of world data and simulated data, we quantitatively demonstrate the
impact of the proposed Electron-ion Collider in China on precise determinations
of the transversity distributions, especially for sea quarks, and the Collins
fragmentation functions
