“Pragmatic Cause of Sovereign”(务实王道): The Strategic Culture and the Orientation of China’s National Defense Policy

Wang weiming,이상만 한중사회과학학회 2011 한중사회과학연구 Vol.9 No.1

본 논문은 중국의 국방정책분야의 문헌연구로서 “전략문화” 관점에서국가권력의 행사를 긍정적인 차원에서 접근하고 있다. 또한 중국의 전략문화에 대해 Alastair Iain Johnston가 잘못 해석되고 있는 그의 “현실적 문화이론”을 비판함과 동시에 중국의 고대 철학자 순자(荀子)의 정치이론인 “실용적 왕도론”을 재해석함으로써 이미 중국이 전통적인 전략문화를 통해 패권을 행사하고 있지 않다는 점을 현대적으로 해석하고 있다. 당대 중국의 전략문화는 점차적으로 전통적인 중국의 전략문화로 재통합되고, 의심할 바 없이 현 단계의 국방정책 역시 방어적 경향의 전략문화라 할 수 있다. 따라서 중국의 국방정책은 방어적 현실주의를 고수하고 현 국제질서의 현상유지를 선호하고 있으며, 현상유지에대한 도전과 국제사회의 갈등을 야기하는 공격적인 “패도” 정책을 추구하지 않음을 강조하고 있다. 중국의 국방정책은 안보딜레마를 극복하는“방어적 현실주의” 차원에서 행사되고 있음을 명시하고 있다.

Upright Orientation of 3D shapes via Tensor Rank Minimization

Weiming Wang,Xiuping Liu,Ligang Liu (사)한국CDE학회 2013 한국CAD/CAM학회 국제학술발표 논문집 Vol.2010 No.8

In general, the upright orientation of a model is beneficial for human to recognize this model and is widely used in geometry processing and computer graphics. However, the orientation of the model obtained by existing technologies, such as 3D scanning systems or modeling, may be far away from the right orientation. In order to solve this problem, a robust and efficient upright method is needed. We observe that when the model is aligned with the three axes, the rank of the three-order tensor constructed by this model is the lowest usually. Inspired by this observation, we formulate the alignment of the 3D model with axes as a low-rank tensor optimization problem which is a global and unsupervised method. After the 3D model has been aligned with the three axes, some geometric properties can be used to pick out the best upright orientation from the six candidate supporting bases easily. The three-order tensor is constructed by voxelizing the bounding box of the 3D model, and then filling the voxel element with zero or one based on whether it contains the points of the model or not. The experimental results demonstrate that our method is robust, efficient and effective for all kinds of the models (manifold or non-manifold, man-made or non-artificial, or point cloud).

In view of the important industrial application value of alumina supports in the field of oil refining andreforming, it is of great significance to develop a simple and economical synthesis method for the hierarchicalporous alumina. Herein, the hollow microsphere alumina was hydrothermally synthesized withouttemplate. The surface of the hollow microsphere alumina supports has a raised fluffy structure, themicrosphere diameter is about 5 8 lm, and the thickness of the shell is about 1 lm. The morphologyevolution process from solid microspheres to core–shell microspheres with spindle-shaped nanoclusters,and then to hollow fluffy microspheres with protruding surface was observed by investigating the effectof hydrothermal synthesis temperature on the morphology of microspheres. Because of its specific morphologyand surface characteristics, the microsphere can better disperse the active component KW toprepare KW/Al2O3 catalyst and used in the thiolation to methyl mercaptan. Compared with our previouslyused catalysts prepared from commercial alumina, this KW/Al2O3 catalyst was not only able togreatly reduce the amount of active component, but also exhibited higher CH3SH selectivity. On the10KW/Al catalyst, the CH3SH selectivity reached 66.2 % at 340 C, which was about 10 % higher than thatof the previous commercial alumina catalyst. This work can provide theoretical basis and practical guidancefor the reasonable design of new alumina support and high efficiency methyl mercaptan catalyst.

This study innovatively prepared an effectivecapsaicin-loaded liposome, a nanoformulation with fewerirritants, for oral administration. The in vitro and in vivoproperties of the liposomal encapsulation were investigatedand the potential possibility of oral administration evaluated. The liposomal agent composed of phospholipid, cholesterol,sodium cholate and isopropyl myristate was prepared usingfilm-dispersion method. A level A in vitro–in vivo correlation(IVIVC) was established for the first time, which demonstratedan excellent IVIVC of both formulated and freecapsaicin in oral administration. Physicochemical characterizationsincluding mean particle size, zeta (f) potentialand average encapsulation efficiency of capsaicin-loadedliposome were found to be 52.2 ± 1.3 nm, -41.5 ±2.71 mv and 81.9 ± 2.43 %, respectively. In vivo, liposomalencapsulation allowed a 3.34-fold increase in relativebioavailability compared to free capsaicin. The gastricmucosa irritation studies indicated that the liposomal systemwas a safe carrier for oral administration. These resultssupport the fact that capsaicin, an effective drug for thetreatment of neuropathic pain, could be encapsulated inliposome for improved oral bioavailability. The excellentIVIVC of capsaicin-loaded liposome could also be a promisingtool in liposomal formulation development with anadded advantage of reduced animal testing.

Weiming Zhou,Yifan Jiang,Shichang Sun,Mingxin Zhang,Ibrahim Lawan,Gerard Franklyn Fernando,Liwei Wang,Zhanhui Yuan 한국화학공학회 2020 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.37 No.2

A simple one step wet-chemical method assisted by trisodium citrate was employed in the synthesis of BiOBr applied as a photocatalyst. Photocatalytic activity of the BiOBr was investigated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye under visible light irradiation (>420 nm). The results indicated that trisodium citrate is more favorable to the formation of hierarchical architectures and reduces the particle size of BiOBr photocatalyst. BiOBr with hierarchical architectures exhibiting significantly higher catalytic activity than that with ordinary nanostructure. The significant improvement could be attributed to the high specific surface area (24.14m2·g1), average pore sizes (34.09 nm) and average pore volume (0.24 cm3·g1).

Upregulation of Sirtuin Type 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adeninedinucleotide (NAD+)-dependentdeacetylase, has been proved to protect against ample ocular diseases, while its effect onretinitis pigmentosa (RP) has not been illustrated. The study was aimed to explore the impactsof resveratrol (RSV), a SIRT1 activator, on the photoreceptor degeneration in a rat model of RPinduced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), an alkylation. The rats were induced RP phenotypesvia the intraperitoneal injection of MNU. The electroretinogram was conducted and revealedthat RSV could not prevent the decline of retinal function in the RP rats. The optical coherencetomography (OCT) and the retinal histological examination were performed and showed thatthe reduced thickness of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) was not preserved by RSV intervention. The immunostaining technique was applied. Afther the MNU administration, the number of theapoptotic photoreceptors in the ONL throughout the retinasand the number of microglia cellspresent among the outer part throughout the retinas were not significantly reduced by RSV. Western blotting was also performed. The data showed that the level of SIRT1 protein wasdecreased after MNU administration, while RSV was not able to obviously alleviate thedownregulation. Our data together indicated that RSV was not able to rescue thephotoreceptor degeneration in the MNU-induced RP rats, which might be due to the MNUinducedconsumption of the NAD+.

Chih-Weim Hsiang,Wei-Chou Chang,Chang-Hsien Liu,Hsiu-Lung Fan,Kai-Hsiung Ko,Chih-Yung Yu,Hong-Hau Wang,Wen-I Liao,Hsian-He Hsu 연세대학교의과대학 2015 Yonsei medical journal Vol.56 No.2

Purpose: To compare the clinical and computed tomography (CT) appearances of liver abscesses caused by non-Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterial pathogens in elderly and nonelderly patients. Materials and Methods: Eighty patients with confirmed non-Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscesses (non-KPLAs) were enrolled and dividedinto two age groups: elderly (age ≥65 years, n=42) and nonelderly (age <65 years, n=38). Diagnosis of non-KPLA was established by pus and/or blood culture. We compared clinical presentations, outcomes, and CT characteristics of the two groups, and performed multivariate analysis for significant variables and receiver-operating-characteristic analysis to determine the cutoff value of abscess diameter for predicting non-KPLA. Results: Elderly patients with non-KPLA were associatedwith a longer hospital stay (p<0.01). Regarding etiology, biliary sources had a strong association in the elderly group (p<0.01), and chronic liver diseases were relatedto the nonelderly group (p<0.01). Non-KPLAs (52.5%) tended to show a large, multiloculated appearance in the elderly group and were associated with bile duct dilatation (p<0.01), compared with the nonelderly group. The abscess diameter (cutoff value, 5.2 cm; area under the curve, 0.78) between the two groups was predicted. In multivariate analysis, underlying biliary tract disease [odds ratio (OR), 3.58, p<0.05], abscess diameter (OR, 2.40, p<0.05), and multiloculated abscess (OR, 1.19, p<0.01) independently predicted elderly patients with non-KPLA. Conclusion:In the elderly patients with non-KPLA, a large, multiloculated abscess with a diameter greater than 5.2 cm was the predominant imaging feature.
