Because of its greater biodiversity, ASEAN has long been a source and transit hub for transnational wildlife trafficking. Although several international and domestic wildlife enforcement mechanisms have been established, the scope and effectiveness of international legal cooperation and policy coordination between China and ASEAN remain limited. Governments have been hampered in their efforts to combat wildlife trafficking by the difficulties of investigation and prosecution in overseas jurisdictions and the maintenance of illicit supply chains by organized crime groups. This paper reviews the main trends of legal and illegal wildlife trade between China and ASEAN, explores the existing legal and policy frameworks of ASEAN countries and China, and discusses the effectiveness of cooperation between China and ASEAN countries by referring to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC). Finally, put forward the legal cooperation between China and ASEAN countries in combating transnational illegal wildlife trafficking.

Wei Wei Jiang,왕다운,최혜경 사단법인 미래융합기술연구학회 2021 아시아태평양융합연구교류논문지 Vol.7 No.9

Mobile payments have become a major payment method in China in a short period of time due to its convenience. This has gradually made the lives of Chinese consumers more mobile and improved their efficiency. In this regard, this study analyzed the current status of mobile payment usage in China based on the use diffusion model targeting 440 Chinese consumers. First, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to find out the influence and determinants of the spread of mobile payment use. As a result, it was classified into environmental creation, technology dependence, and technology anxiety. After that, the structural model was analyzed to verify the path hypothesis. As a result, environment creation and technical anxiety influenced the characteristics of mobile payment usage. And it was found that technology dependence, technology anxiety, and diversity among the characteristics of use had a significant effect on the diffusion outcome. In particular, technology anxiety has been shown to be an important factor that not only increases the spread and satisfaction of consumers, but also increases the intention to accept new technologies that will be introduced in the future. Therefore, research on consumer's technology anxiety is needed in the future, and this is expected to contribute to devising measures to increase consumer acceptance of technology.

XU Wei-jiang,HUANG Liu-sheng,LUO Yong-long,YAO Yi-fei,JING Wei-wei 보안공학연구지원센터 2007 International Journal of Security and Its Applicat Vol.1 No.1

Cooperative computation is one of the most important fields in computer science. In recent years, the development of networking increases the desirability of cooperative computation. But privacy concerns often prevent different parties from sharing their data. Secure multiparty computation techniques can dispel parties’ doubts about revealing privacy information in this situation. On the other hand, Data mining has been a popular research area for more than a decade. However, in many applications, the data are originally collected at different sites owned by different users. This paper considers the problem of privacy preserving DBSCAN clustering over vertically partitioned data based on some results of SMC. An efficient secure intersection protocol is first proposed. The security and complexity of the protocols are also analyzed. The results show that the protocols preserve the privacy of the data and the time complexity as well as the communication complexity is acceptable.

Andreev reflections in a Y-shaped junction with Majorana zero mode

Wei-Jiang Gong,Xiao-Qi Wang,Guang-Yu Yi,Yu Han 한국물리학회 2016 Current Applied Physics Vol.16 No.7

We investigate the Andreev transports through a double-dot Y-shaped junction with Majorana zero mode. It is observed that the additional direct coupling between the dots plays a nontrivial role in manipulating the Andreev transports. Due to its existence, finite magnetic flux can be introduced through this structure to adjust the local and crossed Andreev reflections in different ways. As a result, changing the interdot coupling is able to enhance the crossed Andreev reflection and weaken the local one at the same time in both the linear and nonlinear transport regions. Such a work can be helpful for controlling the Andreev transport behaviors related to Majorana bound state.

Jiang Wei,Zhou Baoping,Kang Shunguang,Liu Chan 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Smart Home Vol.10 No.9

The vehicle logistics is a complex branch in the field of logistics. Because of vehicles and vehicle transporters have a variety of specifications, the current logistics company make transportation plan mainly depends on scheduling personnel's experience, in the face of complex transportation tasks, however, are often inefficient, and transportation cost is not ideal. This paper used the E problem dates of the National Mathematical Modeling Contest for Postgraduates in 2014 to study the mathematical model is established to solve the problem of loading method of vehicles and transportation plan. Firstly, 2207 vehicles can be divided into four categories, we used MATLAB to calculation the loading method of vehicles for 10 types of vehicle transporters, then we take vehicle transporter minimum number as optimization objective, with vehicle demand and the proportion of vehicle transporters as the constraint conditions, to establish the integer programming model, and finally we used LINGO programming to calculate the optimal transport plan is: vehicle transporter minimum number is 127.

Jiang Ting,Xia Geng,Yang Bo,Zhang Hong-wei,Yin Yue-shan,Tang Cheng-wei,Yang Jin-hui 한국조직공학과 재생의학회 2022 조직공학과 재생의학 Vol.19 No.2

Background: Endotoxemia is related to worse clinical outcomes in acute liver failure (ALF), but its management remains unsatisfactory. In this study, we aimed to assess whether the application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) could eliminate endotoxemia and protect rats against ALF induced by thioacetamide (TAA). Methods: BMSCs were isolated from rats and identified by the specific morphology, differentiation potential, and surface markers. The optimal dose of TAA for this study was explored and TAA-induced ALF rats were randomized to three groups: the normal control group (Saline), ALF group (TAA + Saline), and BMSCs-treated group (TAA + BMSCs). The intestinal migration and differentiation of BMSCs was tracked in vivo, and intestinal permeability, endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines, histology, and mortality were analyzed. Moreover, we added the inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway into the co-culture system of BMSCs with enterocytes and then performed CK and Villin expression experiments to assess the role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway in the intestinal differentiation of BMSCs. Results: BMSCs migrated to the intestinal injury sites and differentiated into enterocytes, intestinal permeability was decreased compared with the ALF group. The higher expression of endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines were reversed after BMSCs transplantation in rats with ALF. Mortality and intestinal lesion were significantly decreased. Blocking the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway inhibited BMSCs’ intestinal differentiation in vitro. Conclusion: BMSCs can eliminate endotoxemia and reduce mortality in rats with ALF, and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway is involved in intestinal differentiation. BMSCs transplantation could be a potential candidate for the treatment of endotoxemia in ALF. . BMSCs can eliminate endotoxemia and reduce mortality in rats with ALF, and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway is involved in intestinal differentiation.

Surface-functionalized Hexagonal Mesoporous Silica Supported 5-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl Porphyrin Manganese(III) Chloride and Their Catalytic Activity

Wei-jie Zhang,Pingping Jiang,Ping-bo Zhang,Jia-wei Zheng,Haiyang Li 대한화학회 2012 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.33 No.12

Manganese(III) 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphyrin chloride (Mn(TCPP)Cl) was grafted through amide bond on silica zeolite Y (HY), zeolite beta (Hβ) and hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS). XRD, ICP-AES, N2 physisorption, SEM, TEM, FTIR and thermal analysis were employed to analyse these novel heterogeneous materials. These silica supported catalysts were shown to be used for epoxidation and good shape selectivity was observed. The effect of support structure on catalytic performance was also discussed. The catalytic activity remained when the catalysts were recycled five times. The energy changes about epoxidation of alkenes by NaIO4 and H2O2 were also computationally calculated to explain the different catalytic efficiency.

Background: Panax quinquefolius and Panax notoginseng are widely used and well known for their pharmacological effects. As main pharmacological components, saponins have different distribution patterns in the root tissues of Panax plants. Methods: In this study, the representative ginsenosides were detected and quantified by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis to demonstrate saponin distribution in the root tissues of P. quinquefolius and P. notoginseng, and saponin metabolite profiles were analyzed by metabolomes to obtain the biomarkers of different root tissues. Finally, the transcriptome analysis was performed to demonstrate the molecular mechanisms of saponin distribution by gene profiles. Results: There was saponin distribution in the root tissues differed between P. quinquefolius and P. notoginseng. Eight-eight and 24 potential biomarkers were detected by metabolome analysis, and a total of 340 and 122 transcripts involved in saponin synthesis that were positively correlated with the saponin contents (R > 0.6, P < 0.05) in the root tissues of P. quinquefolius and P. notoginseng, respectively. Among them, GDPS1, CYP51, CYP64, and UGT11 were significantly correlated with the contents of Rg1, Re, Rc, Rb2, and Rd in P. quinquefolius. UGT255 was markedly related to the content of R1; CYP74, CYP89, CYP100, CYP103, CYP109, and UGT190 were markedly correlated with the Rd content in P. notoginseng.

Impurities-contributed abnormal thermoelectric effect in a parallel double quantum dot structure

Wei-Jiang Gong,Hui-Min Wang,Yu Han,Si-Jing Zhang 한국물리학회 2014 Current Applied Physics Vol.14 No.1

We discuss the influence of local impurities on the thermoelectric effect in a parallel double quantum dot (QD) structure. It is first found that in this structure, the Fano effect contributes significantly to the enhancement of thermoelectric efficiency, especially in the case of f ¼ p. Next, impurities are introduced to couple to the QDs, respectively. We readily find that regardless of which QD is coupled to a local impurity, the thermoelectric efficiency can be enhanced by the strengthening of impurityeQD coupling. This means that the destruction of the Fano interference is not the necessary condition to suppress the thermoelectric effect. Accordingly, we hope that the numerical results can help to understand the role of impurities in adjusting the thermoelectric properties of the QD structure.

Influence of Majorana doublet on transport through a quantum dot system with ferromagnetic leads

Wei-Jiang Gong,Zhen Gao,Xiao-Qi Wang 한국물리학회 2015 Current Applied Physics Vol.15 No.10

We investigate the electron transport through a quantum dot connected with two ferromagnetic leads, by coupling one Majorana doublet laterally to the quantum dot. It is found that Majorana doublet keeps the value of zero-bias conductance to be independent of the shift of structural parameters, including dot level, relative lead-magnetization direction, and magnetic field on the dot. Even in the cases of asymmetric dot-lead couplings, the zero-bias conductance is weakly dependent on the relative leadmagnetization direction. On the other hand, when Majorana doublet is replaced by Majorana singlet, the zero-bias conductance value becomes sensitive to the structural parameters. Via analyzing the respective particle motion processes, the different influences of Majorana doublet and singlet are explained. We believe that this work can be helpful for understanding the peculiar properties of Majorana doublet.
