A MODEL FOR EVALUATING ONLINE GAME PLAYERS: A STUDY OF ENJOYMENT, INTERACTION, FLOW EXPERIENCE, AND MOTIVATION TOWARDS ATTITUDE AND INTENTION BEHAVIOR IN CHINA
The purpose of this research is to find out the factors that affect online players. This study's variables are human-Game Interaction, utilitarian motivation, hedonic motivation, flow experience, perceived enjoyment, attitude, and intention. The researchers observed these variables and put forward four hypotheses to determine the influencing factors. The researchers used China's "League of Legends" as the research model. 300 respondents select this data through a questionnaire survey on two large-scale communication platforms in China. The first platform is the official forum of "League of Legends" in China, and the second platform is the most used game social software "QQ" in China. ". The researchers used convenience sampling and judgmental sampling to investigate. All data were analyzed using statistical software, and linear regression and multiple linear regression were used to find the most significant factors affecting players’ attitudes and intentions. Use descriptive statistics to provide average and demographic percentages.
Besides, the researchers use inferential statistics to test the effects of variables. The results show that human-game interaction has a significant positive correlation with utilitarian motivation and hedonic motivation. Utilitarian motivation, hedonic motivation, flow experience, and perceived enjoyment have a positive impact on the player’s attitude. However, flow experience, perceived enjoyment, and attitude have no influence on the intentions of online player
Interionic Energy Transfer in Y\u3csub\u3e3\u3c/sub\u3eAl\u3csub\u3e5\u3c/sub\u3eO\u3csub\u3e12\u3c/sub\u3e: Ce\u3csup\u3e3+\u3c/sup\u3e, Pr\u3csup\u3e3+\u3c/sup\u3e Phosphor
We present an investigation of dynamical processes of nonradiative energy transfer (ET)between Ce3+ and Pr3+ , and between Pr3+ ions in Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ , Pr3+ phosphor.Photoluminescence spectroscopy and fluorescence decay patterns are studied as a function ofPr3+ and Ce3+ concentrations. The analysis based on Inokuti–Hirayama model indicates that the ET from the lowest 5d state of Ce3+ to the D12 state of Pr3+ , and the quenching of theD12 state through a cross relaxation involving Pr3+ ions in the ground state are both governed by electric dipole–dipole interaction. An increase in the Ce3+–Pr3+ ET rate followed by the enhanced red emission line of Pr3+ relative to the yellow emission band of Ce3+ on only increasing Ce3+ concentration is observed. This behavior is attributed to the increase in thespectral overlap integrals between Ce3+ emission and Pr3+ excitation due to the fact that the yellow band shifts to the red spectral side with increasing Ce3+ concentration while the red line dose not move. For Ce3+ concentration of 0.01 in YAG:Ce3+ , Pr3+ , the rate constant and critical distance are evaluated to be 4.5×10−36 cm6 s−1 , 0.81 nm for Ce3+–Pr3+ ET and2.4×10−38 cm6 s−1 , 1.30 nm for Pr3+–Pr3+ ET. Spectroscopic study also demonstrates a pronounced ET from the lowest 4f5d of Pr3+ to the 5d of Ce3+ . A proportional dependence of the initial transfer rate on acceptor concentration is observed in each of these ET pathways. The proportional coefficient as the averaged ET parameters for initial decay are determined, meaning the ET efficiency for the same concentration of acceptors follows the order ofPr3+–Pr3+\u3ePr3+–Ce3+\u3eCe3+–Pr3+

We synthesized a series of Yb3+, Er3+ and Tm3+ tri-doped Lu2O3 nanocrystals with various dopant concentrations by the hydrothermal approach. Due to a unique electronic state at the top of the valence band, Lu2O3 based materials exhibit intense upconversion luminescence involving 1G4 → 3H6 of Tm3+ in blue, (2H11/2, 4S3/2) → 4I15/2 in green and 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 in red of Er3+ upon near infrared excitation at 980 nm. The variation of upconversion spectra and color points with dopant concentrations and pump densities are studied in detail on the basis of energy transfer processes. An ideal white upconversion light with color coordinates of (0.327, 0.339) is obtained by controlling the intensity of red, green, and blue emission in Lu1.906Yb0.08Er0.008Tm0.006O3nanocrystals under a pump density of 8 W cm−2. Based on the present experimental data, we may predict the dopant concentrations and pump densities for any color point within or around the white light region in the tri-doped Lu2O3 nanocrystals

We report the long-lasting bluish-green phosphorescence for X-ray or cathode ray tubes in the phosphors with compositions of either Ba2SiO4:0.01Eu2+–xSi3N4 (x=0–1) or 2BaCO3–ySi3N4:0.01Eu2+(y=1/6–1) synthesized by a solid-state reaction. By tuning the Si3N4content, the phosphorescence may originate from Eu2+ in BaSi2O2N2(peaking at 490 nm), Ba2SiO4 (505 nm), and Ba3SiO5 (590 nm) phases. The strong phosphorescence of the Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ phase in 2BaCO3–ySi3N4:0.01Eu2+ is attributed to N substitution for O to generate a shallow trap. In Ba2SiO4:0.01Eu2+–xSi3N4 , however, N prefers reacting with Ba2SiO4 to form BaSi2O2N2 , thereby exhibiting a strong phosphorescence of the BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phase but a weak phosphorescence of the Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ phase
Adolescent and non-consensual anal sexual debut among Chinese men who have sex with men: a cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND: Adolescent sexual debut and non-consensual sex have been linked to higher sexual risk and STI infection in adulthood among men who have sex with men (MSM) in high-income countries. This study aimed to examine adolescent and non-consensual anal sexual debut among Chinese MSM and to evaluate factors associated with adolescent sexual debut and non-consensual anal sex. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted recently among Chinese men assigned male sex at birth, ≥18 years old, and who had ever engaged in anal sex with a man. Participants answered questions regarding socio-demographics, condomless sex, age at anal sexual debut with a man, and whether the first anal sex was consensual. Factors associated with an adolescent sexual debut (< 18 years old) and non-consensual sex at sexual debut were evaluated. We defined adolescent sexual debut as having anal sex with another man at 17 years old or younger, and the participants were asked whether their first male-to-male anal sex was non-consensual. RESULTS: Overall, 2031 eligible men completed the survey. The mean age of sexual debut was 20.7 (SD = 4.3) years old. 17.6% (358/2031) of men reported adolescent sexual debut, and 5.0% (101/2031) reported a non-consensual sexual debut. The adolescent sexual debut was associated with having more male sexual partners (adjusted OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.06-1.15) and condomless anal sex in the last three months (AOR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.34-2.18). MSM whose sexual debut was non-consensual were more likely to have condomless anal sex (AOR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.17-2.66), and to have reported an adolescent sexual debut (AOR = 2.72, 95% CI 1.75-4.21). CONCLUSIONS: Many Chinese MSM reported adolescent sexual debut and non-consensual sex, both of which are associated with sexual risk behaviors and drive STI transmission. These findings highlight the need for designing tailored interventions for MSM who experienced adolescent sexual debut and non-consensual sex at debut
808 nm driven Nd 3+
The in vivo biological applications of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) prefer excitation at 700-850 nm, instead of 980 nm, due to the absorption of water. Recent approaches in constructing robust Nd3+ doped UCNPs with 808 nm excitation properties rely on a thick Nd3+ sensitized shell. However, for the very important and popular Frster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based applications, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) or switchable biosensors, this type of structure has restrictions resulting in a poor energy transfer. In this work, we have designed a NaYF4:Yb/Ho@NaYF4:Nd@NaYF4 core-shell-shell nanostructure. We have proven that this optimal structure balances the robustness of the upconversion emission and the FRET efficiency for FRET-based bioapplications. A proof of the concept was demonstrated for photodynamic therapy and simultaneous fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells triggered by 808 nm light, where low heating and a high PDT efficacy were achieved
Formation mechanism of high-quality reservoirs in deep strata of Paleogene, Bonan Subsag, Zhanhua Sag, Bohai Bay Basin
With the continuous improvement of exploration degree, the main object for oil and gas exploration in the Bonan Subsag of Bohai Bay Basin gradually changes from medium and shallow layers to medium and deep layers. The key factor for deep exploration is the development of high-quality reservoir, which depends on the interaction between sedimentary filling and formation fluid. During the deposition of the fourth member of Paleogene Shahejie Formation, lacustrine clastic rocks and gypsum salt deposits developed in this area under a saline environment. Based on the comprehensive study of drilling data and experimental results, the sedimentary environment, formation water characteristics, reservoir petrographic characteristics and diagenetic types of the Paleogene reservoirs in the Bonan Subsag were discussed, the development and evolution mechanism of the deep and high-quality reservoirs in Paleogene was also indicated. Results show that: (1) Under the sealing of gypsum salt layer with wide distribution area and large sedimentary thickness, the clastic rocks of Es4 member in salty environment experienced alkaline diagenetic environment in the early stage. The carbonate cements formed in this period filled primary pores and effectively prevented the occurrence of compaction. (2) With the increase of the maturity of organic matters in source rocks, significant organic acid migrated to stratum driven by abnormal high pressure during the middle diagenesis stage. The early carbonate cements, feldspar and debris were generally dissolved and secondary pores were subsequently formed. Acidic and alkaline reworks are the main mechanism for the development of deep high-quality reservoirs. (3) The development of high-quality reservoirs was controlled by the distribution of gypsum salt layer, the development of source rock, fault system and the distribution of clastic sedimentary body. The front sand bodies of gentle-slope fan delta and steep-slope nearshore subaqueous fan strongly influenced by acid and alkali fluid are the high-quality reservoir development area of Es4 member in Bonan Subsag
Water consumption in hydrocarbon generation and its significance to reservoir formation
The geochemical effects of water consumption during hydrocarbon generation were studied on the basis of evolution laws of source rocks and simulation experiments on hydrocarbon generation. Water consumption statistics were obtained in order to study the relationship between water consumption during hydrocarbon generation and hydrocarbon migration and reservoir formation. The simulation experiments of hydrocarbon generation were performed under hydrous and anhydrous conditions for correlation. The geochemical characteristics of organic evolution under these two conditions were analyzed and the variations of hydrocarbon generation potential and carbon transformation ratio were emphasized. The results show the effects that organic matter and water have on each other during hydrocarbon generation: part of unavailable carbon is activated in kerogen and hydrogen is increased in degraded products, which leads to the increase of total hydrocarbon generation potential. According to water consumption mechanisms, the quantitative evaluation method of water consumption in hydrocarbon generation was put forward and used in the studies of the main source rocks in the Dongying Sag. Both of the water consumption and the depth range of the Upper Es4 Member are larger, while those of the Lower and Middle Es3 Members are smaller. Water consumption affects hydrocarbon migration and accumulation by increasing organic carbon degradation rate to increase fluid volume. Pore fluid pressure and oil-bearing saturation are consequently increased. The matching relationship between water-consuming hydrocarbon generation intervals and water-consuming diagenesis intervals enhances the dynamic forces of hydrocarbon migration, which benefits the formation of self-generating and self-preserving reservoirs or lower-generating and upper-preserving reservoirs.
