J. O. Yum optimistically maintained that as more and more non-Western scholars and researchers undertake studies and research in intercultural communication, they would likely become increasingly dissatisfied with the dominant model in intercultural communication based on Eurocentric research philosophies and traditions. Globalization processes, including social media and digital communication, have introduced new possibilities to include individuals and communities in intercultural as well as international communication. Teaching and research in intercultural communication has been dominated by Western models of value orientations that focus on conceptual dichotomies and the model by G. Hofstede that includes individualism versus collectivism, high versus low power distance, high versus low uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity versus femininity. Intercultural communication training should raise awareness about the bases of cultural formation and their relationship with the construction of different cultural norms, break down cultural barriers, and increase self-awareness and communication skills when engaging with individuals from other cultures.
Responding to global climate change,the idea of low-carbon economy emerges as the times require.Developing low-carbon economy is based on construction of low-carbon society.The Two-Oriented Society is concrete representation of low-carbon society with Chinese characteristics,and an actual action in developing low-carbon economy.Based on urban agglomeration,the paper discusses the meaning of and the path to low-carbon society which would better reflect the intrinsic requirement of such a society.
Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) is an important oilseed crop that is rich in fatty acids and protein. Climate-change-related stresses, such as chilling, high temperature, and waterlogging can cause severe production loss in this crop. In this study, we investigated the photosynthetic responses of sacha inchi seedlings to short-term waterlogging and their morphological changes after long-term waterlogging stress. Sacha inchi CO2 uptake, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate are affected by temperature and light intensity. The seedlings had a high CO2 uptake (>10 μmol m-2s-1) during the daytime (08:00 to 15:00), and at 32 and 36 °C. At 32 °C, CO2 uptake peaked at irradiations of 1000 and 1500 µmol m-2s-1, and plants could still perform photosynthesis at high-intensity radiation of 2000-3000 µmol m-2s-1. However, after 5 days of waterlogging (5 DAF) sacha inchi seedlings significantly reduced their photosynthetic ability. The CO2 uptake, stomatal conductance, Fv/Fm, ETR, and qP, etc., of the susceptible genotypes, were significantly decreased and their wilting percentage was higher than 50% at 5 DAF. This led to a higher wilting percentage at 7 days post-recovery. Among the four lines assessed, Line 27 had a high photosynthetic capability and showed the best waterlogging tolerance. We screened many seedlings for long-term waterlogging tolerance and discovered that some seedlings can produce adventitious roots (AR) and survive after two weeks of waterlogging. Hence, AR could be a critical morphological adaptation to waterlogging in this crop. In summary, these results suggest that improvement in waterlogging tolerance has considerable potential for increasing the sustainable production of sacha inchi.
Objective:To improve the data reliability and traceability through the quality control on TLD monitoring of entrance surface dose(ESD) of diagnostic X-ray.Methods:Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory(Beijing SSDL) has irradiated the standard curves and blind samples for the 15 provincial units with national postal TLD inter-comparison.Results:The 90% of participants' measuring-deviation of blind samples was less than 5% and 99% of participants within 10%.Conclusion:The result of TLD quality control ensures the correspondence of large-scale patients ESD national investigation.
In this article, the authors analyze the fundamental principles of grey system model, design a grey system forecasting procedure based on MATLAB by combining MATLAB and GM(1, N) Model, and optimize the calculation procedure of GM(1,1) Model. Then, they apply it in practice to prove that combination of MATLAB and GM(1, N) Model has perfect practical application value.
OLED flexible displays technology has been rapidly developing, but the main lamination process of it is still in 2D status. Due to wrinkles and other issues, currently there is not much experience in mass production for the 3D lamination. In this work, we mainly designed a spherical cover glass, and realized the lamination of it and flexible displays. We also proposed a solution for wrinkles during the lamination process.
