Jian Qiu,Hongsen Wang,Ailida Aikerbayr 대외경제정책연구원 2023 East Asian Economic Review Vol.27 No.3

The multidimensional poverty index is an indicator system established for defining and evaluating poverty, to understand poverty in dimensions beyond just monetary scarcity. Based on income, education, health, living standards, and social dimensions, this article measures and analyzes the level of multidimensional poverty in Xinjiang using the Alkire-Foster method, with cross-sectional data obtained from a 2022 survey. Probit model is constructed for regression analysis, further considering the impact of education on enhancing feasible capabilities and alleviating multidimensional poverty at the post-poverty alleviation era. The data shows that many people still face significant challenges from the perspective of multidimensional poverty; the decomposition results of each dimension show that education contributes more to the multidimensional poverty; the regression analysis results show that the higher the education level, the lower the multidimensional poverty; heterogeneity analysis revealed that the inhibitory effect of education on multidimensional poverty is greater for females than males, and the poverty reduction effect of education mainly concentrates on middle-aged and older individuals. This article is meaningful for exploring strategies to alleviate multidimensional poverty in ethnic minority regions in frontier areas in the new era, accelerating regional economic development, and achieving shared prosperity.

Novel Method for Circulating Current Suppression in MMCs Based on Multiple Quasi-PR Controller

Jian Qiu,Lijun Hang,Dongliang Liu,Shengbao Geng,Xiaonan Ma,Zhen Li 전력전자학회 2018 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.18 No.6

An improved circulating current suppression control method is proposed in this paper. In the proposed controller, an outer loop of the average capacitor voltage control model is used to balance the sub-module capacitor voltage. Meanwhile, an individual voltage balance controller and an arm voltage balance controller are also used. The DC and harmonic components of the circulating current are separated using a low pass filter. Therefore, a multiple quasi-proportional-resonant (multi-quasi-PR) controller is introduced in the inner loop to eliminate the circulating harmonic current, which mainly contains second-order harmonic but also contains other high-order harmonics. In addition, the parameters of the multi-quasi-PR controller are designed in the discrete domain and an analysis of the stability characteristic is given in this paper. In addition, a simulation model of a three-phase MMC system is built in order to confirm the correctness and superiority of the proposed controller. Finally, experiment results are presented and compared. These results illustrate that the improved control method has good performance in suppressing circulating harmonic current and in balancing the capacitor voltage.

Jianqiu Zhang,Anil K. Agrawal 국제구조공학회 2015 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.15 No.3

Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers are being used increasingly because of their adaptability tocontrol algorithms and reliability of passive systems. In this paper, an extensive investigation onperformance of MR dampers in semi-active and passive modes has been carried out. It is observed that theoverall energy dissipation by MR dampers in passive-on modes is higher than that in semi-active modes formost of the competitive semi-active controllers. Based on the energy dissipation pattern, a novel semi-activecontroller, termed as “Simple Passive Semi-Active Controller”, has been proposed for MR dampers. Thiscontroller can be emulated by a simple passive hardware proposed in this paper. The proposed concept ofcontroller “hardware emulation” is innovative and can also be implemented for other semi-active devices forcontrol algorithms of certain form. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed controller has beeninvestigated extensively through numerical simulations. It has been demonstrated that the proposedcontroller is competitive to or more effective than other widely used / investigated semi-active controllers.

Zubedi, Asma,Jianqiu, Zeng,Arain, Qasim Ali,Memon, Imran,Khan, Sehrish,Khan, Muhammad Saad,Zhang, Ying Korea Information Processing Society 2018 Journal of information processing systems Vol.14 No.2

Climate change has become a major challenge for sustainable development of human society. This study is an attempt to analyze existing literature to identify economic indicators that hamper the process of global warming. This paper includes case studies based on various countries to examine the nexus for environment and its relationship with Foreign Direct Investment, transportation, economic growth and energy consumption. Furthermore, the observations are analyzed from the perspective of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and probable impact on carbon emission of Pakistan. A major portion of CPEC investment is allocated for transportation. However, it is evident that transportation sector is substantial emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. Unfortunately, there is no empirical work on the subject of CPEC and carbon emission for vehicular transportation. This paper infers that empirical results from various other countries are ambiguous and inconclusive. Moreover, the evidence for the pollution haven hypothesis and the halo effect hypothesis is limited in general and inapplicable for CPEC in particular. The major contribution of this study is the proposal of an energy efficient transportation model for reducing CO2 emission. In the end, the paper suggests strategies to climate researchers and policymakers for adaptation and mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG).

Effects of Surface Machining by a Lathe on Microstructure of Near Surface Layer and Corrosion Behavior of SA182 Grade 304 Stainless Steel in Simulated Primary Water

( Zhiming Zhang ),( Jianqiu Wang ),( En-hou Han ),( Wei Ke ) 한국부식방식학회(구 한국부식학회) 2019 Corrosion Science and Technology Vol.18 No.1

To find proper lathe machining parameters for SA182 Grade 304 stainless steel (SS), six kinds of samples with different machining surface states were prepared using a lathe. Surface morphologies and microstructures of near surface deformed layers on different samples were analysed. Surface morphologies and chemical composition of oxide films formed on different samples in simulated primary water with 100 μg/L O₂ at 310 ℃ were characterized. Results showed that surface roughness was mainly affected by lathe feed. Surface machining caused grain refinement at the top layer. A severely deformed layer with different thicknesses formed on all samples. In addition to high defect density caused by surface deformation, phase transformation, residual stress, and strain also affected the oxidation behaviour of SA182 Grade 304 SS in the test solution. Machining parameters used for # 4 (feed, 0.15 mm/r; back engagement, 2 mm; cutting speed, 114.86 m/min) and # 6 (feed,0.20 mm/r; back engagement, 1 mm; cutting speed, 73.01 m/min) samples were found to be proper for lathe machining of SA182 Grade 304 SS.

Differences in the gut microbiota between Cercopithecinae and Colobinae in captivity

Zongjin Huan,Yongfang Yao,Jianqiu Yu,Hongwei Chen,Meirong Li,Chaojun Yang,Bo Zhao,Qingyong Ni,Mingwang Zhang,Meng Xie,Huailiang Xu 한국미생물학회 2020 The journal of microbiology Vol.58 No.5

The gut microbiome of captive primates can provide a window into their health and disease status. The diversity and composition of gut microbiota are influenced by not only host phylogeny, but also host diet. Old World monkeys (Cercopithecidae) are divided into two subfamilies: Cercopithecinae and Colobinae. The diet and physiological digestive features differ between these two subfamilies. Accordingly, highthroughput sequencing was used to examine gut microbiota differences between these two subfamilies, using data from 29 Cercopithecinae individuals and 19 Colobinae individuals raised in captivity. Through a comparative analysis of operational taxonomic units (OTUs), significant differences in the diversity and composition of gut microbiota were observed between Cercopithecinae and Colobinae. In particular, the gut microbiota of captive Old World monkeys clustered strongly by the two subfamilies. The Colobinae microbial diversity was higher than that of Cercopithecinae. Additionally, Firmicutes, Lactobacillaceae, Veillonellaceae, and Prevotella abundance were higher in Cercopithecinae, while Bacteroidetes, Ruminococcaceae, Christensenellaceae, Bacteroidaceae, and Acidaminococcaceae abundance were higher in Colobinae. PICRUSt analysis revealed that the predicted metagenomes of metabolic pathways associated with proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids were significantly higher in Colobinae. In the context of host phylogeny, these differences between Cercopithecinae and Colobinae could reflect adaptations associated with their respective diets. This well-organized dataset is a valuable resource for future related research on primates and gut microbiota. Moreover, this study may provide useful insight into animal management practices and primate conservation.
