Design optimization is an effective strategy to reduce construction project costs. This study focuses on the benefit of designoptimization, which should be allocated to the designer. Furthermore, the distribution ratio can be determined through negotiation. Inline with this view, this paper initially analyzed the benefits of engineering design optimization and the basic mechanism of itsdistribution. Second, we established the negotiation model of design optimization profit distribution by considering the fairnessconcern behavior of subjects. Finally, we set up the following three experimental scenarios: the designer solely has fairness concernbehavior, the owner exclusively has fairness concern behavior, and both negotiators have fairness concern behavior. From theengineering projects perspectives, we further analyzed the effects of the fairness concerns of both negotiators in terms of engineeringdesign optimization and negotiation performance using negotiation simulation experiments. Our experimental scenarios results showthat the appropriate behavior of fairness concerns by the two negotiators is valuable in improving their own advantages. However,excessive attention to the behaviors of fairness concerns by the two negotiators may lead to an increase in the negotiation cycle,which is not beneficial in attaining optimization. This study aims to provide references for the construction project management.

Xiao Wei,Li Rui 한국여성철학회 2017 한국여성철학 Vol.28 No.-

From 2011 to 2015, it is the period of a rapid and fruitful development for feminist philosophy studies in China. According to the database of China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), there are 377 articles with the key word of feminist philosophy to have been published in a number of journals in the period. Comparing to 267articles that were published in 2006-2010, the number of periodical articles increases 41%. This not only shows the concern and participation for Chinese scholars to study in feminist philosophy, but also embodies more systematically and richly in research methodologies and subjects, as well as their practical applications. This paper will be a review of the study of Chinese Feminist Philosophy under 8 sub-tittles,and try to analyze the achievement of feminist philosophy in the years 2011—2015 and look forward to the future possibilities for feminist philosophy studies in China.

A Core-Shell Spherical Silica Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Efficient Selective Recognition and Adsorption of Dichlorophen

Xiao Wei,Miaomiao Yu,Jifeng Guo 한국섬유공학회 2019 Fibers and polymers Vol.20 No.3

A core-shell surface-imprinted polymer was successfully synthesized on the surface of silica spheres by precipitation polymerization. The polymers were used to selectively identify dichlorophen in complex environmental system. The physical-chemical properties of the silica sphere molecularly imprinted polymers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy scans characterization. The adsorption properties of core-shell polymers were examined by adsorption isotherms, kinetics and selectivity experiments. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm well fitted the adsorption experimental data, and an increase of temperature enhanced the adsorption capacity. The maximum binding capacity of imprinted polymers reached 72.46 mg g-1 at 318 K. Meanwhile, the adsorption data of binding experiments were well-fitting by the pseudo-second-order equation. Compared with nonimprinted polymer, the imprinted polymer not only has specific selectivity towards dichlorophen but also has higher adsorption performance. Moreover, via the regeneration experiments, it has been demonstrated that the MIPs have certain stability to the adsorption for the target, which provides a good reference for the adsorption of dichlorophen by the imprinted polymer in water.

One-round Secure Key Exchange Protocol With Strong Forward Secrecy

( Xiaowei Li ),( Dengqi Yang ),( Benhui Chen ),( Yuqing Zhang ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2016 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.10 No.11

Security models for key exchange protocols have been researched for years, however, lots of them only focus on what secret can be compromised but they do not differentiate the timing of secrets compromise, such as the extended Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) model. In this paper, we propose a new security model for key exchange protocols which can not only consider what keys can be compromised as well as when they are compromised. The proposed security model is important to the security proof of the key exchange protocols with forward secrecy (either weak forward secrecy (wFS) or strong forward secrecy (sFS)). In addition, a new kind of key compromise impersonation (KCI) attacks which is called strong key compromise impersonation (sKCI) attack is proposed. Finally, we provide a new one-round key exchange protocol called mOT+ based on mOT protocol. The security of the mOT+ is given in the new model. It can provide the properties of sKCI-resilience and sFS and it is secure even if the ephemeral key reveal query is considered.

Adsorption of zinc (Ⅱ), cadmium (Ⅱ), and copper (Ⅱ) with PTFE Selective Resin containing primary amine N1923 and Cyanex925

Xiaowei Zhao,Weihong Zhou,Qiong Jia 한국화학공학회 2009 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.26 No.6

In the present study, a synergistic extraction mixture, primary amine N1923 (RNH2) and Cyanex925 (B), was loaded on PTFE powder to prepare PTFE Selective Resin and was employed for the adsorption of zinc, cadmium, and copper from chloride medium. The effects of shaking time, resin amounts, concentration of metal ions, and experimental temperature on the distribution coefficients were determined. The stoichiometry of the adsorbed complexes was determined to be MCl2·(1/2)RNH2·B with the Selective Resin. The equilibrium constants and thermodynamic quantities (ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS) were calculated. Furthermore, the Freundlich isotherm proved to be more suitable than the Langmuir isotherm to indicate the effect of concentration of M2+ on the adsorption with PTFE Selective Resin.

Perceptions of Masculinity and Femininity among Uyghur Muslims in China

Xiaowei Zang 숙명여자대학교 아시아여성연구원 2012 Asian Women Vol.28 No.4

The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is the most frequently tested gender role instrument. However, many studies have examined the BSRI with convenient samples drawn from university campuses. Moreover, the link regarding the BSRI’s cross-cultural applicability is weak. To partly address these two issues, this paper examines whether the BSRI is applicable to Uyghur Muslims in China. Data are drawn from a survey on Uyghurs (N = 844) conducted in Urumchi in 2007. The sample was drawn from the general population using the probability proportional to size selection sampling method. Data analysis shows a satisfactory internal consistency of the BSRI and a good degree of similarity between Uyghur men’s ratings and the Uyghur women’s ratings for masculine and feminine traits. The BSRI seems to be more relevant for Uyghurs than Americans as the patterns of the desirability ratings arranged in rank seem traditionally gender typed. Data analysis also shows the need to modify the BSRI before it can be used productively inthe social contexts outside North America.

Acute myocardial infarction remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Themechanisms underlying myocardial infarction involve a complex of signaling molecules, such as tumornecrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin-6 (IL6), C-Myc, atria natriuretic peptide (ANP), superoxide dismutase1 (SOD1), and so on. The aim of this study is to understand the time-dependent expressional pattern of theseearly responsible genes following acute myocardial ischemia established by left anterior descending (LAD)coronary artery ligation. After LAD ligation, a collection of genes was detected using real-time polymerasechain reaction (PCR). The expression of inflammation-related genes, such as TNFα and IL6, was immediatelyupregulated at 2 h, reached to the highest point at 12 h, and then decreased to nearly basis level at 24 h afterligation, suggesting inflammation appeared and disappeared rapidly after acute ischemia. C-Myc, an importanttranscription factor, was significantly upregulated at 2 h, and thereafter persisted at high level to 24 h. Thesecretary peptide, ANP, was consistently upregulated from 2 to 24 h, reached to 40-folds at 24 h. The calciumregulatedgene, FK506-binding protein 12.6, was not significantly altered after ischemia. SOD1 was not alteredat the first 4 h, and began to downregulate at 12 and 24 h. These results indicate that several genes weredynamically and transiently regulated after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a time-dependent pattern,suggesting that there is an immediate molecular response to acute myocardial ischemia, which might provideus a new insight to understand molecular mechanisms of AMI.

정보타깃 고객에게 신제품을 사전 예고하는 것은 다양한 산업, 특히 제품 진입 속도를 매우 중요하게 여기는 산업에서 점차 널리 퍼져 있다. 본 연구는 마케팅 신호 이론에 기반하여 신제품에 대한 사전예고 정보와 개인고객의 행동적 의도 간의 관계를 파악하여 연구 모델을 제시하였다. 또한, 본 연구는 사전 제품 지식과 신제품혁신성의 유의한 조절 효과도 더불어 확인하였다. 이에 따라, 데이터 수집을 위한 웹 기반 조사를 실시하고 구조 방정식 모델을 이용해 데이터를 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 의해 신제품 사전예고의 정보 속성(즉, 정보량, 명확성)이 소비자의 태도에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이며, 더 나아가 구매의도에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 제품 지식과 제품 혁신성의 조절효과도 검증되었다. 구체적으로 제품 지식은 정보량과 태도간의 관계에 긍정적 조절 효과를 미칠 것이며 명확성과 태도 간의 관계에 부정적 조절 효과를 미칠 것이다. 반면, 제품 혁신성은 이와 정반대된 결과를 보여주었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 시사점과 한계점도 모두 기술하였다. Preannouncing a new product to its target audiences has been more and more prevalent in a wealth of industries, particularly industries that attach great importance to the speed of entry. Grounded in market signaling theory, the current research advances a theoretical model that takes full cognizance of the relation between preannounced information about an upcoming product and individual customers’ behavioral intentions as well as significant moderating effects of prior product knowledge and new product innovativeness. In response, a web-based survey is conducted for data collection and the structural equation model is utilized for data analysis. Results of this study demonstrate that preannounced new product information attributes (i.e., quantity, clarity) may positively influence consumers’ attitudes, in turn, lead to a favorable purchase intention. Moreover, the moderating effects of product knowledge and product innovativeness are also confirmed. Specifically, product knowledge moderates the quantity-attitude relation positively and moderates the clarity-attitude relation negatively, whereas product innovativeness does opposite. Both implications and limitations are also described.

Skew n-derivations on semiprime rings

Xiaowei Xu,Yang Liu,Wei Zhang 대한수학회 2013 대한수학회보 Vol.50 No.6

For a ring R with an automorphism σ, an n-additive mapping Δ: R × R × · · · × R ! R is called a skew n-derivation with respect to σ if it is always a σ-derivation of R for each argument. Namely, if n − 1 of the arguments are fixed, then Δ is a σ-derivation on the remaining argument. In this short note, from Breˇsar Theorems, we prove that a skew n-derivation (n ≥ 3) on a semiprime ring R must map into the center of R.
