Nonlinear age effects on basketball player performance
Introduction This study utilizes 2,786 NBA player–season samples from 2019 to 2024 to develop a nonlinear modeling approach based on Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KAN), applied to modeling the relationship between player age and basketball performance. A novel modeling framework is proposed, integrating interpretable machine learning with age-group-specific feature analysis, aiming to systematically reveal the nonlinear dynamics and transitional me…
Covid-19 control measures unexpectedly increased the duration of stay at High Speed Rail stations during the first community outbreak in Taiwan
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan has implemented strict border controls and community spread prevention measures. As part of these efforts, the government also implemented measures for public transportation. In Taiwan, there are two primary public transportation systems: Taiwan Railways (TR) is commonly utilized for local travel, while the Taiwan High-Speed Rail (THSR) is preferred for business trips and long-distance journeys due to its high…
Assessment of Financial Toxicity Among Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer in Western China
Background: Lung cancer is the leading source of cancer-caused disability-adjusted life years. Medical cost burden impacts the well-being of patients through reducing income, cutting daily expenses, curtailing leisure activities, and depleting exhausting savings. The COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) was created and validated by De Souza and colleagues. Our study intends to measure the financial burdens of cancer therapy and inves…
Women in the chase
This paper adopts the idea of informal empire and focuses on women in treaty port Shanghai. Examining two British equestrian sports, called “the chase” at the time, i.e. horse racing and paper hunt, this article shows how, notwithstanding racial differences, British and Chinese elite women in Shanghai adopted the same strategies to empower themselves. By joining the chase, as actual hunters, leading horse owners or trainers, they successfully bro…
Vertical Integration, Business Diversification, and Firm Architecture
This article is a case study of a Chinese indigenous firm in the refrigerated egg-packing industry during the interwar period. I argue that the China Egg Produce Company (CEPC) was quick to grasp Western management in terms of vertical integration and business diversification. In addition, this firm took advantage of embedded social relations and social networks to construct a strong “internal architecture.” As a result, CEPC not only rivaled som…
Tension Within the Church
The foreign missionary was always a prominent source of Sino-foreign friction. The appearance of Protestant missionaries in China's interior, and their intrusion into Chinese society in the latter half of the nineteenth century, caused strong resistance from the Chinese and many outbreaks of xenophobia. After the Boxer Uprising of 1900, however, this resistance and these outbreaks greatly declined. And the foreign missionary in the second and thi…
