In recent years, the field of deep learning has flourished, not only breaking through many difficult problems that are difficult to be solved by traditional algorithms but also bursting with greater vitality when combined with other fields. For example, product emotional design based on deep learning can integrate users' emotional needs into the actual product design. In this paper, we aim to use deep learning and affective technology in the creation of AR interactive picture books to transform the reading process from static to dynamic, enrich visual stimulation, and increase the fun and interactivity of reading. In this paper, based on the three-level theoretical model of emotion, the emotion labeling results are input to a deep neural network for learning, to establish an emotion-based recognition model for picture book images. The results show that the model can well analyze the emotion of images in AR picture books, and the accuracy of prediction is a big improvement compared with traditional machine recognition algorithms. The application of AR virtual implantation technology in interactive picture books on the market is often just a marketing gimmick while combining deep learning and emotional technology can better create diverse interactive picture books to meet children's emotional reading needs, enhance reading engagement, and stimulate children's creativity.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to seek to advance the understanding of competitive interaction framework based on competitive dynamics theory that investigates how nonmarket and market factors concurrently affect the relationships among action and response, their integration, and initiating firm performance.Design/methodology/approach– To test the hypotheses for this study, the authors used data collected from the news found in web sites of 72 Chinese firms over a five-year period from January 2007 to December 2011. The authors use the approach suggested by Baron and Kenny (1986) to test the mediated effect of rival response and speed, after structured content analysis is adopted to overcome the challenges of identification and measurement by using a sample of competitive actions and responses.Findings– The results test partial mediating role of rival response and speed in linking nonmarket, market, and integrated action with initiating firm performance outcomes. Rival responses and speed may vary systematically in nonmarket action. The relationship between the integration of competitive action and initiating firm performance is positive, high, and significant.Research limitations/implications– The results of this study were limited by a sample in China. The authors further need to consider how nonmarket and market components are operationalized in different institutional environments. The authors study only captures observable moves reported in the news of Chinese firms' web sites. This single-data source collection raises the specter of cognitive bias. It is advised to collect data from multiple sources, perhaps directly measuring the managers' perception by using a questionnaire-based survey.Practical implications– Firms whose main focus is to launch market actions in an effort to gain competitive advantage should ensure that their nonmarket actions constitute interfirm rivalry. Particularly, this study also encourages managers to continuously and rapidly integrate nonmarket actions into their analyses of market competition for firm success. Additionally, managers need to develop effective information-processing mechanisms to analyze, monitor, forecast, and interpret rival response and speed for each competitor.Originality/value– The research contributes to the authors' understanding of the nature of nonmarket and market competition by bridging nonmarket action into traditional competitive dynamics.

The need of municipal infrastructure is challenging China faced with the urbanization movements. Infrastructure is fixed to the ground so that the function and participation of the local government is of more importance than for any other kinds of investment, in order to avoid the political risks. Municipal bond is best choice even if in China, considering PPP schemes, which means the existing fiscal budget act has to be adjusted. Private investment, as well as the local government bonds, could be compensated with users charges. For infrastructure, the problem is the capital cost instead of the capital resource.

After the death of President Chiang Ching-Kuo of the ROC on Taiwan in January 1988, his vice-president, Lee Teng-hui, took over the presidency in accordance with 1947 constitution. In the first two years of his presidency, his most outstanding achievement was his policy of "flexible diplomacy". However, it was only after Lee was elected president in his own right by the National Assembly in March 1990 that he was really able to steer the ROC toward institutional reform. The author explores Lee's rise to power and his reform programme. (DÜI-Sen)
