Solving Non-Uniqueness in Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Using Multidendrograms

In agglomerative hierarchical clustering, pair-group methods suffer from a problem of non-uniqueness when two or more distances between different clusters coincide during the amalgamation process. The traditional approach for solving this drawback has been to take any arbitrary criterion in order to break ties between distances, which results in different hierarchical classifications depending on the criterion followed. In this article we propose a variable-group algorithm that consists in grouping more than two clusters at the same time when ties occur. We give a tree representation for the results of the algorithm, which we call a multidendrogram, as well as a generalization of the Lance andWilliams’ formula which enables the implementation of the algorithm in a recursive way.

当代中国青年应激问题研究

作者认为，引起个体应激反应的因素来自内部和外部两个方面．就当代中国而言，青年的应激反应主要是适应性反应．这种适应性反应的外部因素则集中表现在新的价值观念的冲突，竞争加剧，社会分配不公，生活节奏加快，家庭与学校的精神保健职能出现偏差．以及科学和技术的变革速度加快等六个方面．为了培养和提高青年的应激反应能力，作者提出了五个方面的措施，以指导青年建立适宜应激水平．

Illustrations with Real Examples of Using Ecological Regulation Strategies Against Crop Pests in China

In this paper, a series of examples from China, including those using ecological regulation strategies successfully to keep crop pests under control and those making more damages of crop pests caused by wrong cropping systems, crop distributions or extensive cultivation, were given and analyzed. From these, two pieces of experience were enlightened as follows： the first, the refoms of cropping systems and crop distributions must be beneficial to pest control or at least not increase the damage of crop pests; the second, we should further clarify the relationship between population dynamics of pests and cropping system/crop distribution, the basis for correctly laying down the ecological regulation systems.
