Previous researchers have shown that the entrepreneurial intentions and choices of freshmen and sophomores are higher than those of juniors and seniors in China. In order to explore the reasons for this phenomenon, I conducted an experiment with 126 undergraduates from 3 universities
in Zhejiang Province in China to study the relationship between temporal distance and undergraduates' entrepreneurial decision-making process. The results showed that: 1) temporal distance significantly influences undergraduates' entrepreneurial decision making, and 2) entrepreneurial decision
tasks in the distant future motivate the undergraduates' cognition of desire for results (high construal level), resulting in a more positive decision, while the tasks in the near future motivate the cognition of feasibility for process (low construal level), resulting in a more negative decision.

Entrepreneurship is encouraged among graduates of Chinese higher education institutions as a solution to the increasingly competitive job market. Guided by social cognitive theory, we explored whether entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and entrepreneurial alertness (EA) predicted the
entrepreneurial intention (EI) of a sample of 364 Chinese sports major students. In addition, we examined the influence of demographic differences, namely, gender, entrepreneurial education, and previous entrepreneurial experience, on students' ESE, EA, and EI. Results showed that both EA
and ESE were key cognitive predictors of participants' EI, and that demographic differences affected their ESE, and EA, and EI. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

We explored WeChat use intensity and possible addiction level among Yemeni international students in China, including the impact of their gender and educational level on WeChat use, and the relationship of WeChat intensity and addiction with academic performance. Participants were 427
Yemeni international students in China randomly invited to participate in an online survey. Results revealed that (a) both gender and educational level had a significant impact on participants' WeChat use intensity and WeChat addiction; (b) WeChat use intensity, WeChat addiction, and
academic performance significantly correlated with one another; and (c) WeChat addiction fully mediated the relationship between WeChat use intensity and academic performance. These findings enrich social networking site studies by providing evidence of the impact of WeChat use intensity on
the academic performance of international students.

We studied the effect of academic comparisons on the subjective well-being (SWB) of 330 students from 3 Chinese secondary schools. The results showed that the SWB of Chinese secondary school students (a) is relatively low; (b) is affected primarily by 4 demographic factors, namely,
grade, gender, academic achievements, and family financial background; and (c) is significantly affected by academic comparisons in that self-comparison, upward comparison, and parallel comparison have a positive impact on SWB, and downward comparison has a negative impact on SWB. Both parents
and teachers should guide students to draw appropriate academic comparisons.

Laser driving technology is an important technology in high energy physics, shock wave physics and explosive initiation application. In this paper, velocities and impact stresses of four types of laser-driven flyers (Al, Al/Al2O3/Al, CuO/Al2O3/Al, (CuO/Al)/Al2O3/Al) prepared via magnetron sputtering were obtained by photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) and a self-made polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) stress sensor at ns-class pulse width.The results showed that velocities and integrity of flyers were influenced by their diameters. Compared with Al single-layer flyer, other multi-layer flyers with Al2O3 insulation layer owned lower velocity but better integrity and initiation properties.CuO/Al as the ablation layer enhanced the velocities and shock initiation properties of multi-layer flyers. Velocity of a flyer improved with the increasing laser energy while shock initiation property did not perform in the same way. These results provide some references for the design of multi-layer flyers applied to laserdriven initiation technology.
