The paper presents a detailed analysis of algorithms used for the forward and the inverse discrete wavelet transform (DTWT) of finite-length signals. The paper provides answers to questions such as "how many wavelet coefficients are computed from the signal at a given depth of the decomposition" or conversely, "how many signal samples are needed to compute a single wavelet coefficient at a given depth of the decomposition" or "how many coefficients at a given depth are influenced by the selected type of boundary treatment" or "how many samples of the input signal simultaneously influence two neighboring wavelet coefficients at a given depth of the decomposition". As a byproduct, the rigorous analysis of the algorithms gives details needed for the implementation. The paper is accompanied by several Matlab functions.

China is the largest e-commerce market, contributing to a quarter of the global market share with some of the leading e-commerce companies headquartered here. As these businesses continue working round the clock — all year, expanding their operations across domains, regions and countries, innovation in Human Resource Management (HRM), then becomes a key enabler in ensuring that the workforce integrates and evolves along with the firm, and in parallel with the consistent changes in the industry. In retrospect, HRM practices in China have been maturing over the years as well with their increasing participation in global business networks.

Alibaba, the world’s largest retailer and e-commerce company, employs over 117,600 people across multiple geographical locations. A Chinese homegrown company, Alibaba has not only captured the local market share but has also consolidated its position in the top ranks of the global race. Its company culture is arguably one of the most peculiar as it seamlessly blends the best of Chinese culture and the Silicon Valley spirit. This case study aims to explore such innovations and more in HRM practices at Alibaba, along with highlighting and identifying crucial challenges faced by the company in this domain and how they tackled it as they kept scaling and expanding their operations.

The present study intends to create knowledge about complex organizational structures in Chinese businesses to further add on to the overall management knowledge base. It will also contribute toward the growing foundation, on which further research can be based.

Bronchial asthma is an inflammatory response of common chronic respiratory diseases. A variety of cells, such as mast cells, neutrophils, eosinophils and other cells are involved, disorders of cytokine networks mediated the attack of bronchial asthma. Interleukin 23 (IL-23) cytokines is heterodimers which was found to have many different biological effects ten years ago, many scholars have discovered that IL-23 was involved in the allergic diseases. This article will give a introduction about the relationships between IL-23 and asthma.

Firstly, the theory and techniques of the CET4 Diagnostic Practice System were analyzed. Secondly, the architecture and development mode of the system has been determined and the main functional modules has been designed detailedly. Last, the implementation of system architecture has been elaborated on the basis of the development environment and tools. This system is a kind of deep practice and innovation on CET-4, aimed at learners can receive personalized learning guidance and targeted diagnostic evaluation according to their characteristics, thus improving the standard of English learners and learning ability, so it has a wide range of prospect and practical value.
