Influencing Generation Z\u27s Kansei Demand for New Tea Purchase Decision and Satisfaction—Research Based on Kansei Engineering

New tea has entered a prosperous period in China. In this promising market, its main consumer group is Generation Z, which has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Generation Z has distinctive ideas and behavior characteristics in brand recognition, social media, and platform utilization, and their subjective feelings about products directly affect their consumption behavior. In this paper, based on the theory of Kansei Engineering and from both linear and nonlinear levels, this paper uses multiple linear regression and KANO model to study the Kansei demand that affects generation Z\u27s purchasing decisions and satisfaction in the new tea market and gives some suggestions to the current market based on the research results

Comparison of Soil Nitrate and Phosphorus Concentrations Prior to and Five to Eleven Years after Recycled Water Irrigation

Increasing demand on water supplies in western US and more stringent wastewater discharge standards have made recycled water a common water source for irrigating urban green spaces. Studies are needed to evaluate nitrate-N leaching potential and phosphorus (P) movement along soil profile when recycled wastewater is used for irrigation. We collected and analyzed soil samples at the commencement and 5 and 11 years after recycled water irrigation on 2 golf courses, 5 metropolitan parks, and 1 school ground. Samples were taken at 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, and 80-100 cm depths on golf courses and at 0-20 and 20-40 cm depths at other locations. Soil samples were tested for soil pH, soil nitrate, and AB-DTPA extracted P level. No increase in soil nitrate-N was observed over 5 and 11 years with recycled water irrigation, suggesting leaching of nitrogen to the groundwater was not a great concern. Soil P concentration at the surface soil depth was the highest 11 years after recycled water irrigation. Moreover, soil P increasing below the surface layer was observed on sites with sandy soil, suggesting long-term recycled water irrigation could impose some risk for P leaching on sandy soil

nn-body Correlation of Tonks-Girardeau Gas

For the well-known exponential complexity it is a giant challenge to calculate the correlation function for general many-body wave function. We investigate the ground state $n$th-order correlation functions of the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gases. Basing on the wavefunction of free fermions and Bose-Fermi mapping method we obtain the exact ground state wavefunction of TG gases. Utilizing the properties of Vandermonde determinant and Toeplitz matrix, the $n$th-order correlation function is formulated as $(N-n)$-order Toeplitz determinant, whose element is the integral dependent on 2$(N-n)$ sign functions and can be computed analytically. By reducing the integral on domain $[0,2\pi]$ into the summation of the integral on several independent domains, we obtain the explicit form of the Toeplitz matrix element ultimately. As the applications we deduce the concise formula of the reduced two-body density matrix and discuss its properties. The corresponding natural orbitals and their occupation distribution are plotted. Furthermore, we give a concise formula of the reduced three-body density matrix and discuss its properties. It is shown that in the successive second measurements, atoms appear in the regions where atoms populate with the maximum probability in the first measurement.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure

2-(Ethyl­sulfin­yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-sulfonamide

The supra­molecular structure of the title compound, C9H11N3O3S2, is defined by two inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. Pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the dimers into a tubular chain structure running parallel to the a axis

Examining information sharing in Enterprise 2.0: Applying theory of attachment

With its immense potential for enriching communication, promoting information sharing, enabling collaboration and improving job performance, Enterprise 2.0 becomes one of the most promising technological innovations in the business domain. Although，more and more firms are implementing Enterprise 2.0 to promote knowledge sharing and collaboration among employees in recent years. There is only a few empirical research has been performed to identify individuals’ information sharing through Enterprise 2.0. The high practical relevance and lack of research indicate the importance of this study. This study aims to apply the Attachment Theory to propose a research model that incorporates eight variables to predict individuals’ willingness of information sharing through Enterprise 2.0 applications. To test the model, structural equation modelling is employed to analyse data collected from respondents who have experience of using Enterprise 2.0 in a top-raking Chinese Internet survey platform. The findings of this research provide application designer and firm managers with effective methods to promote individuals’ willingness of information sharing through Enterprise 2.0.This research also provides a theoretical foundation for academics and practical implications for the development of Enterprise 2.0
