Qian Zhao,Qian Wang,Yajing Tang,Tingshun Jiang,Chang-sheng Li,Hengbo Yin 한국화학공학회 2010 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.27 No.4

Ce-incorporated MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves (CeMCM-41) were synthesized by microwave irradiation method from sodium silicate and ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate precursors and using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as template. The resulting samples were characterized by means of XRD, TEM, FT-IR, UV-Vis,XPS and N2 physical adsorption, respectively. The effect of the Si/Ce molar ratio on the textural properties of CeMCM-41 was investigated. The results reveal that the CeMCM-41 was successfully synthesized. The resultant mesoporous materials have specific surface areas in the range of 602-1,216 m2/g and pore sizes in the range of ca. 2.6-2.9 nm. The structural properties are related to the amount of cerium incorporation. The surface area and pore volume of the resulting CeMCM-41 were gradually reduced as the cerium content in the sample increased, and the mesoporous ordering diminished.

Qian Tang,Yu Lei,Xiaojun Chen,Wenbo Xue 한국대기환경학회 2017 Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment (AJAE) Vol.11 No.1

China is suffering from severe air pollution especially fine PM2.5 pollution. In 2015, the annual average PM2.5 concentration of the 338 municipal cities was 50 μg/m3, 78% cities at or above the prefectural level failed to comply with the PM2.5 concentration standards. The 13th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development set the goal that the annual average concentration of PM2.5 in the municipal cities which failed to attain the ambient air quality standards shall be decreased by 18% by 2020 (CCCPC, 2016). In this study, an air pollution control scenario during the 13th Five-Year Plan period was proposed and the SO2, NOx and PM emission reductions in response to different measures in 31 provincial-level regions mainland China by 2020 were estimated. The air quality in the target year (2020) was simulated using the WRF-CMAQ model. The results showed that by 2020, the emissions of SO2, NOx and primary PM in mainland China will be reduced by 4.19 million tons, 3.94 million tons and 4.41 million tons, a drop of 23%, 21% and 25% respectively compared with that in 2015, and the annual average concentration of PM2.5 will decrease by 19%. Coal-fired power plant contributes the most pollutant emission reduction.

The Masquelet’s induced membrane technique for repairing bone defects has been demonstrated to be a promising treatment strategy. Previous studies have shown that the vessel density of induced membrane is decreased in the late stage of membrane formation, which consequently disrupts the bone healing process. However, relatively little is known about certain mechanisms of vessel degeneration in the induced membrane tissue and whether promotion of angiogenesis in induced membranes can improve bone regeneration. Here, we showed that the Delta-like ligand 4/ Notch homolog 1 (Dll4/Notch1) pathway was relatively activated in the late stage of induced membrane, especially at the subcutaneous site. Then, DAPT, a classical γ-secretase inhibitor, was applied to specifically inhibit Notch1 activation, followed by up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and CD31 expression. DAPTmodified induced membranes were further confirmed to contribute to bone regeneration after autogenous bone grafting. Finally, in vitro experiments revealed that knocking down Notch1 contributed to the functional improvement of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and that DAPT-treated induced membrane tissue was more favorable for angiogenesis of EPCs compared with the vehicle group. In conclusion, the present findings demonstrate that Dll4/ Notch1 signaling is negatively associated with the vessel density of induced membrane. Pharmacological inhibition of Notch1 attenuated the vessel degeneration of induced membrane both in vitro and in vivo, which consequently improved bone formation at the bone defect site and graft resorption at the subcutaneous site.

An Energy Harvesting Aware Routing Algorithm for Hierarchical Clustering Wireless Sensor Networks

( Chaowei Tang ),( Qian Tan ),( Yanni Han ),( Wei An ),( Haibo Li ),( Hui Tang ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2016 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.10 No.2

Recently, energy harvesting technology has been integrated into wireless sensor networks to ameliorate the nodes` energy limitation problem. In theory, the wireless sensor node equipped with an energy harvesting module can work permanently until hardware failures happen. However, due to the change of power supply, the traditional hierarchical network routing protocol can not be effectively adopted in energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we improve the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol to make it suitable for the energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. Specifically, the cluster heads are selected according to the estimation of nodes` harvested energy and consumed energy. Preference is given to the nodes with high harvested energy while taking the energy consumption rate into account. The utilization of harvested energy is mathematically formulated as a max-min optimization problem which maximizes the minimum energy conservation of each node. We have proved that maximizing the minimum energy conservation is an NP-hard problem theoretically. Thus, a polynomial time algorithm has been proposed to derive the near-optimal performance. Extensive simulation results show that our proposed routing scheme outperforms previous works in terms of energy conservation and balanced distribution.

The binding abilities of scutellarin (Scu) andscutellarein (Scue) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) wereinvestigated using equilibrium dialysis, high performanceliquid chromatography, fluorescence spectroscopy, competitivesite marker and molecular docking. The resultsshowed that the average protein binding ratios of Scu andScue with BSA were (79.85 ± 1.83) and (85.49 ± 1.21) %respectively. Under simulated physiological conditions, thefluorescence data indicated that Scu and Scue bound withBSA through a static mechanism. The thermodynamicparameters indicated that the interactions of Scu-BSA andScue-BSA mainly occurred by van der Waals forces andhydrogen bonds and it was easier for Scue to bind withBSA than Scu, indicating that the glucuronic acid moleculein Scu decreased the binding affinity. Site competitivemarker experiments showed that the binding sites of Scuand Scue mainly located within the sub-domain IIA ofBSA. Furthermore, molecular docking studies indicatedthat one BSA could bind three Scue, while one BSA couldcarry only two Scu. All these results clearly indicated theinteractions of Scu and Scue with BSA, which will lay thefoundation for further research to determine the pharmacologyand pharmacodynamics of Scu and Scue for treatingischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Data access characteristics can directly affect the efficiency of the system execution. This research is to design an accurate predictor by using historical memory access information, where highly accessible data can be migrated from low-speed storage (SSD/HHD) to high-speed memory (Memory/CPU Cache) in advance, thereby reducing data access latency and further improving overall performance. For this goal, we design a locally weighted linear regression prefetch scheme to cope with irregular access patterns in large graph processing applications for a DARM-PCM hybrid memory structure. By analyzing the testing result,the appropriate structural parameters can be selected,which greatly improves the cache prefetching performance, resulting in overall performance improvement.

The Artist’s Resale Right Dispute: A Case Study of China, EU and US

YI SHAN TANG,QIAN QIAN GAO 한국외국어대학교 EU연구소 2019 EU연구 Vol.- No.51

The resale right is a legal system aimed at protecting the rights of the authors of artworks. Since the establishment of the resale right in France in 1920, especially the implementation of the EU’s Resale Right Directive in 2001, the disputes on the system of the resale right have never stopped. In 2016, overtaking the United States and all EU member states, China has become the number one country in terms of global art trade turnover. Furthermore, with the globalization of the art market, disputes on the resale right between China and the EU and the United States, as well as other advanced countries, are inevitable. This paper introduced and compared the differences between the main contents of the EU’s Resale Right Directive and those of EU member states, as well as the United States. This paper also analyzed three examples of disputes on the resale right in France, Germany and the United States, which lead to some questions that are likely to be controversial and worth thinking about when China introduces the resale right into the Copyright Law in the future. But at the same time, this paper also pointed out that even with the above-mentioned disputes that may arise after the introduction of the resale right in China, China’s introduction of the resale right would still have many positive effects, such as helping to stimulate Chinese artists' passion for creation, improving the international competitiveness of Chinese artists and their artworks, and promoting the negotiation of China-EU FTA, etc. Based on the above disputes and positive effects, this paper points out that China is necessary and feasible to introduce the resale right, and we can learn from the EU's policies and measures to achieve a better construction of the resale right system in order to protect the vital interests of Chinese artists and further develop the artwork market in China.

사계 김장생의 이기론과 심성론 소고

이학당 ( Li Xue-tang ),왕천천 ( Wang Qian-qian ) 우리한문학회 2017 漢文學報 Vol.37 No.-

사계 김장생은 조선 중기의 저명한 예학가이고 교육가이다. 그는 스승 율곡의 "기발리승설"과 "리통기국설" 리기론 사상을 계승하면서 리와 기를 혼연일체의 존재로 보았다. 또한 리는 무형무위이고 기는 유형유위라고 보았다. 사계는 퇴계의 이기호발설을 부정한다. 그는 정호의 “기가 도이고 도가 기이다’는 주장을 근거로 이기불상리를 해석한다. 또한 주희의 “리는 리이고 기는 기이다”는 주장을 근거로 이기불상잡을 해석한다. 율곡이 제창한 ‘기발 이승’을 따르면서 리와 기는 “하나이면서 둘이고 둘이면서 하나다.”는 주장을 하면서 리와 기의 조화를 강조한다. 사계는 리와 기가 둘이면서 하나인 관계를 해석할 적에 이기가 합쳐지는 것이 시간적 선후로 구분하는 것은 아니라는 점을 밝힘과 동시에 공간적으로는 기가 리를 포함한다는 입장을 견지한다. 사계는 리는 기 안에 있고 원래 떨어지지 않는다고 하는데 이런 말은 기의 능동성을 중시하는 사계의 입장을 잘 보여주며 그의 심성론과 예악사상의 이론적 기초를 구성한다. 구용에 이해 방식은 사계 사상의 독자성을 보여준다. 사계는 송강이 “구용은 리이다”라고 하는 주장을 두고 체용을 원용하여 구용을 리의 작용으로 설명한다. 따라서 사계는 율곡의 입장에 기반하여 송강의 주장을 반대하지 않는다. 그러나 “형이상자는 기이고 형이하자는 도이다”는 구절에 대한 사계의 해석은 다소 문제가 있다. 사계는 도와 형을 다른 개념으로 이해하고 형과 기를 같은 개념으로 이해하는데 이런 이해는 사실에 부합하지 않는다. 사계는 율곡사상에 기초하여 심, 성, 정, 의, 지 등 성리학 심성론의 기초 개념을 심도 있게 해석한다. 본 연구는 이후 그가 주장하는 사단칠정론과 인심도심설의 이론적 토대가 된다. Shagai Kim jang-saeng was a famous scientist and educator in the middle of the Chosun Dynasty, on Confucianism he basicly inherited Zhu xi and Lee er's overall spirits, in the view of qi he claimedLi is of intangible and inaction, while Qi is of visible and action, so he denied Lee huang’s theory of which Li and Qi are inspired with each other. He cited Cheng hao’s theory of that "Qi is Dao and Dao is Qi" to explain the Li and Qi are not separated, and also quoted zhu xi's theory of that "Li is Li, Qi is Qi" to explain that the Li and Qi are not mixed. He agreed the Lee er’s idea of that"the Qi emits and Li follows " , he advocated "one is two, two is one", emphasizing the harmony of the Li and Qi. In the explanation of the relationship between "two is one", he was not only explained the combination of Li and Qi in chronological order, but also considered that the combination of Li and Qi was "Li was surrounded by Li"in space order. Shagai often said that "Li is in the Qi and they are not dissimilar"which reflected that he emphasised motility of the Qi, and also laid a theoretical foundation for his theory of mindand ritual thought. The understanding of the problem of "nine looks" reflected the autonomy of Shaxi’s thought. He believed that Songgang’s theory of which"nine looks are Li" was the use of Li from the perspective of body and function, so he did not denid Songgang's viewpoint in accordance with Lee er's thought. But he had some problems in the understanding of that "the person who is above, what is the Dao; There are some problems with the understanding of the "Meta physics is the Dao while the opposite is Qi". He seed that the Xing and Dao are different concept, but he thought that Xing and Qi are the same concept, which was lack of science. In terms of theory of mind, he based on the Yulgok’s thoughts, he made the detailed explanation for the basic concepts of neo-confucianism, such as the heart, character, feeling, idea, aspiration, whichbecame the necessary theoretical matting of the theory of four sides and seven feelings and the theory of people’s mind and Dao’s mind for the next step.
