According to this principle, a new non_oscillatory, containing no free parameters and dissipative difference scheme of second_order both in time and space is proposed. It is proved that this scheme possesses TVD property and is generalized Gudunov scheme of second_order. In the presence of the shock wave in the flow field, this scheme is the generalization and improvement of the Lax_Wendroff scheme. Several numerical examples are given which demonstrate that the proposed scheme is non_oscillatory of high order accuracy and high resolution. It also has the advantages of compact form, greater maximum allowable Courant number and convenient to use.展开更多

In rural areas, where 80% of people have been without health insurance of any kind, illness has emerged as a leading cause of poverty[24]. To address the poor state of health care among the rural population, in 2003 the Chinese government launched the New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NCMS),展开更多

The major conclusions are as follows. First, predisposing factors, enabling factors, health care need factors, and lifestyle factors affect health care utilization. Second, results using DID methods indicate that NCMS did not affect health care service utilization (outpatient and inpatient) of individuals when ill, but it might increase the possibility of getting a health examination. Third, there is no difference in health care service utilization (both outpatient and inpatient) between the NCMS enrollment group and the non-enrollment group in both working age group (15-59) and the elderly group (60 and over). Therefore, it can be said that NCMS did not affect the health care utilization in both the group. However, NCMS positively affects disease prevention behavior (visiting the hospital to receive a health examination) in the working age group, but the effect did not appear in the elderly group.展开更多

However, the NRCMS has had a marked impact on rural-urban labor migration as its current regulations present a barrier for cross-region participation in the NRCMS, and its reimbursement system is biased when the enrollees seek medical services outside their location of hukou, a household registration system in China. This paper performs a variety of empirical tests on a panel data set from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) to study how the NRCMS affects rural residents' work location choices. We observed a "locking effect" on potential rural migrant workers and a "pulling effect" on existing ones. According to the results, the NRCMS has discouraged rural residents from working outside their location of hukou, lowering the probability of relocation by 3.52 percent. Meanwhile, the NRCMS system actually encourages existing migrant workers to return home. This paper concludes that the NRCMS has to some extent restrained the free flow of the labor force and exacerbated the migrant worker shortage.展开更多

Then the iterative method was used for a multi-grid procedure for shallow water equation. A t last, an initial-boundary value problem was considered, and the numerical results show that the linear sinusoidal wave would successively evolve into conoidal wave.展开更多

On the country,the "bundle scheme" increases social costs and it should therefore be replaced with legal regulations.Next, the paperexplains why a majority of participants choose the minimum contribution level based on observations in the fieldstudy.This choice reflects the two-fold information asymmetry between the authority and rural residents.Based onthe field study, we suggest that the new rural pension authority listen to village cadres and farmers to increase farmers’awareness.展开更多
