As an interactive form of real-time transmission of audio and video content through an online platform, online live broadcast connects viewers and hosts in a virtual social space. This study explores the emotional impact and actionable nature of online live streaming on young viewers. The results show that audience participation in online live broadcasts is based on love, admiration and dependence on the host, and they gain emotional comfort and catharsis through watching and interacting. Anchors use a variety of strategies to create and guide the audience's emotional experience, and obtain the audience's emotional investment and rewards. Online live broadcast communities are formed from the gathering of common interests and emotions, providing viewers with emotional companionship and a sense of identity. Although online live broadcast communities can meet the emotional needs of lonely moments, they cannot completely replace the emotional experience in real life, and their emotional connections are limited. Therefore, it is recommended to further study and standardize online live broadcast behavior to better understand and utilize the online live broadcast community and provide a more meaningful emotional experience. This research has important reference value for theory and practice in related fields, and promotes the development and innovation in the field of online live broadcasting.

Miller, with Xiang Li and Tian Ruan Jing Dang (bio) Taoism, Teaching, and Learning: A Nature-Based Approach to Education. By John P. Miller, with Xiang Li and Tian Ruan. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2022. Pp. 134, Paperback $29.95, ISBN 978-1-4875-4095-1. John Miller's Taoism, Teaching, and Learning: A Nature-Based Approach to Education (hereafter Taoism, Teaching, and Learning) develops a nature-based account of modern education grounded in Daoism (or Taoism), a school of thought often misunderstood in the West. Daoism has historically been categorized both as a religion (dao jiao 道教) and as a philosophy (dao jia zhe xue 道家哲學); in many cases the spiritual and mystical side of Daoism impresses itself on the reader at the expense of its scientific and philosophical side--as happened with the European missionaries who first exported Daoism to the West. Yet Daoism, especially in relation to pedagogy, cuts across this philosophical/mystical distinction. Happily, Miller and his students, Xiang Li and Tian Ruan, betray no such tendency to pigeon-hole Daoism into one or the other of these categories. The authors adopt a connected and holistic concept of Daoism, which they use to inform and justify their approach to modern education. As such, in the eight chapters of this book, we can see a natural and sensible connection between a holistic Daoism--spiritual, mystical and philosophical--and modern philosophical and educational theories, including Montessori's cosmic education, Steiner Education, holistic education, and the pedagogical practices of meditation and mindfulness. Miller's modus operandi is to apply Daoist concepts to contemporary (especially Western) educational issues, both theoretically and practically. In terms of the Daoist belief in the interconnectedness of all things, Miller questions modern subject divisions. When we divide education into geometry, mathematics and so on, we fragment the natural oneness of knowledge and reality as the Daoists would have it. Instead, Miller advocates faith in nature and looks to curricula that reflect the wholeness of nature, such as "cosmic education" and "holistic education" (Chapters 2 and 6). Through such education "we see the relationship between the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life" (p. 27), and feel the support from the invisible and unproven world. Miller makes excellent use of the Daoist concepts of yin (陰) and yang [End Page 1] (陽), which signify the complementary balance and interplay between opposites. He uses the yinyang paradigm to explore the need for balance in a wide range of interesting and important pedagogical situations; for instance, group collaboration versus individual competition, knowledge versus imagination, intuition versus reason, qualitative versus quantitative, etc. (Chapter 5). He also implements yinyang to unpack the model of creative thinking laid down by Graham Wallace (pp. 66 -70); here, yin and yang are applied to a process within the individual. As we move from confusion to enlightenment, we enact within ourselves a dance between our yin and yang factors. Under the heading "Self-Cultivation" (Chapter 3), Miller attempts to evaluate a number of pedagogical strategies with broad ties to Daoism; namely, "silence," "contemplation," "calmness," "sincerity," "non-violence and embracing the feminine," and "humility". These are informed by Miller's own personal experience of teaching and applying meditation at the University of Toronto. This provides a useful connection between the spiritual and philosophical dao 道, the mystical and the practical. More generally, these strategies recall Daoist wuwei 無爲 (non-coercive or spontaneous action) and ziran 自然 (spontaneity), which Miller subsequently applies to teaching and mindfulness in Chapter 4 (more on which below). Whereas Miller's contribution is more theoretical, the two chapters written by his students showcase concrete examples of Daoist pedagogy in the classroom. Li's chapter (Chapter 1) details a class of high school students learning from nature. Here we find a student club centered around a garden, where the students are allowed to wander in the direction of their interests, rather than imbibing the lessons of the teacher according to a top-down lesson plan. Ruan's chapter (Chapter 7) looks to the various ways play can be utilized in kindergartens for children's holistic development, including their social, intellectual, spiritual, physical...
Nano-meter β-carborundum whisker (β-SiCw) was surface-modified by titanate coupling agent NDZ-105,and nano-meter β-SiCw/celluloid composite was prepared by means of blending.The effects of the contents of nano-meter β-SiCw and titanate coupling agent NDZ-105 on the mechanical properties of the composite were discussed.The results revealed the tensile strength,bending strength and impact strength of the composite all sharply upgraded with the increase of the mass fraction of nano-meter β-SiCw,and the overall properties of the composites were the best when the mass fraction of nano-meter β-SiCw was 5%;the content of titanate coupling agent had a relation with the mechanical properties of the composite at a fixed mass fraction of nano-meter β-SiCw. The XPS and FTIR analysis of the pre-modified and post-modified nano-meter β-SiCw showed the titanate coupling agent NDZ-105 was bound on the surface of the nano-meter β-SiCw,a firm chemical bonding of titanate coupling agent NDZ-105 to the nano-meter β-SiCw film,and an organic layer was formed.
The Greek myths and legends are a reflection regarding fantasies as reality, however, these myths and legends have represented the social reality at that time. The most remarkable part of them is women's status. Changes in women's status have forcefully confirmed that these changes are in step with mankind's history and development of production. This paper narrates that women's status has experienced a great transition from Goddess in matriarchy to woman in patriarchy and to the enslaved woman slave in the private ownership system, in order that we can get to know the evolution process and social recognition of changes in women's status at the early development of mankind.
Wave-transparent materials are one kind of functional materials that can transmit certain electromagnetic waves. When electromagnetic waves are incident on the wave-transparent materials, the corresponding reflection, energy loss, and transmission would occur. The electromagnetic waves are reflected between the wave-transparent materials and free space (air) due to the difference in dielectric constant ( ϵ ). The energy loss of electromagnetic waves is mainly due to dielectric loss within the wave-transparent materials, which turns some of the electromagnetic energy into heat. This chapter discusses the relationship between the wave-transparent performances and ϵ and dielectric loss angle tangent (tan δ ) of wave-transparent materials. It details the equations for the dielectric parameters, test methods for dielectric properties, and wave-transparent models.
NH2–POSS functionalized nanosized boron nitride fillers were performed to fabricate thermally conductive bismaleimide/diallylbisphenol A (BMI/DABA) nanocomposites combining excellent dielectric properties and outstanding thermal stabilities.
The bismaleimide(BMI) resin with excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability is widely used in aircraft and aerospace industry,but the pure BMI with high melting point as well as low toughness and solubility can’t satisfy demands of practical application. So BMI need be modified. The reaction mechanism of BMI modified by allyl compounds was discussed,including Ene addition reaction,Diels-Alder reaction and some other proposed reaction. The research progress and effect of BMI systems modified by allyl compounds,including diallyl bisphenol A(DABPA),allyl compounds containing boron,allyl phenolic resin,allyl phenoxy resin and other allyl compounds,were introduced respectively.
