文摘Does traditional Chinese economic thought possess genuine analytical rigor?This question lies at the heart of any serious evaluation of its theoretical value and historical significance.It also matters for understanding how best to preserve,build on its remarkable achievements,and develop its intellectual legacy.Critics such as Schumpeter and Taylor have long argued that the economic reasoning found in ancient China cannot compare with that of classical Greece or medieval Europe.Yet this view often reflects the narrow assumptions of mainstream economics,defining analysis almost entirely in terms of market exchange.As a result,it tends to overlook traditions built around statecraft,governance,and the management of economic order.A careful re-examination and Sino-Western comparative analysis of key thinkers-including Mencius,Guanzi,and Sima Qian-tells a different story.Rooted in China’s distinctive cultural and philosophical heritage,traditional Chinese economic thought not only contains the analytical dimensions(as defined by Schumpeter)but also displays a broader and more diverse set of economic reasoning.Notably,its systematic depth and intellectual precision were,in many respects,remarkably advanced.Therefore,advancing the construction of a Chinese school of economics in the new era under the framework of the“Second Integration”,i.e.,integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s fine traditional culture,should,and indeed can draw essential insights from this analytical tradition.

文摘Accurately simulating water flow movement in vadose zone is crucial for effective water resources assessment.Richards'equation,which describes the movement of water flow in the vadose zone,is highly nonlinear and challenging to solve.Existing numerical methods often face issues such as numerical dispersion,oscillation,and mass non-conservation when spatial and temporal discretization conditions are not appropriately configured.To address these problems and achieve accurate and stable numerical solutions,a finite analytic method based on water content-based Richards'equation(FAM-W)is proposed.The performance of the FAM-W is compared with analytical solutions,Finite Difference Method(FDM),and Finite Analytic Method based on the pressure Head-based Richards'equation(FAM-H).Compared to analytical solution and other numerical methods(FDM and FAM-H),FAM-W demonstrates superior accuracy and efficiency in controlling mass balance errors,regardless of spatial step sizes.This study introduces a novel approach for modelling water flow in the vadose zone,offering significant benefits for water resources management.

文摘The focus of green analytical chemistry(GAC)is to minimize the negative impacts of analytical procedures on human safety,human health,and the environment.Several factors,such as the reagents used,sample collection,sample processing,instruments,energy consumed,and the quantities of hazardous materials and waste generated during analytical procedures,need to be considered in the evaluation of the greenness of analytical assays.In this study,we propose a greenness evaluation metric for analytical methods(GEMAM).The new greenness metric is simple,flexible,and comprehensive.The evaluation criteria are based on both the 12 principles of GAC(SIGNIFICANCE)and the 10 factors of sample preparation,and the results are presented on a 0–10 scale.The GEMAM calculation process is easy to perform,and its results are easy to interpret.The output of GEMAM is a pictogram that can provide both qualitative and quantitative information based on color and number.

文摘Objective Blood culture remains the gold standard for diagnosing bloodstream infections.Clinical laboratories must ensure the quality of blood culture processes from receipt to obtaining definitive results.We examined laboratory analytical indicators associated with positive blood culture results.Methods Blood cultures collected from Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 1,2020,and December 31,2022,were retrospectively analyzed.The mode of transportation(piping logistics delivery vs.staff),source of blood cultures(outpatient/emergency department vs.inpatient department),rotation of personnel,and time of reception(8:00–19:59 vs.20:00–07:59)were compared between blood culture-positive and-negative results.Results Between 2020 and 2022,the total positive rate of blood culture was 8.07%.The positive rate of blood cultures in the outpatient/emergency department was significantly higher than that in the inpatient department(12.46%vs.5.83%;P<0.0001).The time-to-detection of blood cultures was significantly affected by the delivery mode and personnel rotation.The blood culture positive rate of the total pre-analytical time within 1 h was significantly higher than that within 1–2 h or>2 h(P<0.0170).Conclusion Laboratory analytical indicators such as patient source,transportation mode,and personnel rotation significantly impacted the positive detection rate or time of blood culture.

文摘A new analytical model for geometric size and forming force prediction in incremental flanging(IF)is presented in this work.The complex deformation characteristics of IF are considered in the modeling process,which can accurately describe the strain and stress states in IF.Based on strain analysis,the model can predict the material thickness distribution and neck height after IF.By considering contact area,strain characteristics,material thickness changes,and friction,the model can predict specific moments and corresponding values of maximum axial forming force and maximum horizontal forming force during IF.In addition,an IF experiment involving different tool diameters,flanging diameters,and opening hole diameters is conducted.On the basis of the experimental strain paths,the strain characteristics of different deformation zones are studied,and the stable strain ratio is quantitatively described through two dimensionless parameters:relative tool diameter and relative hole diameter.Then,the changing of material thickness and forming force in IF,and the variation of minimum material thickness,neck height,maximum axial forming force,and maximum horizontal forming force with flanging parameters are studied,and the reliability of the analytical model is verified in this process.Finally,the influence of the horizontal forming force on the tool design and the fluctuation of the forming force are explained.

文摘Waterproof performance of gaskets between segments is the focus of shield tunnels.This paper proposed an analytical method for determining seepage characteristics at tunnel-gasketed joints based on the hydraulic fracturing theories.First,the mathematical model was established,and the seepage governing equation and boundary conditions were obtained.Second,three dimensionless parameters were introduced for simplifying the expressions,and the seepage governing equations were normalized.Third,analytical expressions were derived for the interface opening and liquid pressure.Moreover,the influencing factors of seepage process at the gasketed interface were analyzed.Parametric analyses revealed that,in the normalized criterion of liquid viscosity,the liquid tip coordinate was influenced by the degree of negative pressure in the liquid lag region,which was related to the initial contact stress.The coordinate of the liquid tip affected the liquid pressure distribution and the interface opening,which were analyzed under different liquid tip coordinate conditions.Finally,under two limit states,comparative analysis showed that the results of the variation trend of the proposed method agree well with those of previous research.Overall,the proposed analytical method provides a novel solution for the design of the waterproof in shield tunnels.
文摘Point-of-care testing(POCT)refers to a category of diagnostic tests that are performed at or near to the site of the patients(also called bedside testing)and is capable of obtaining accurate results in a short time by using portable diagnostic devices,avoiding sending samples to the medical laboratories.It has been extensively explored for diagnosing and monitoring patients’diseases and health conditions with the assistance of development in biochemistry and microfluidics.Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices(μPADs)have gained dramatic popularity in POCT because of their simplicity,user-friendly,fast and accurate result reading and low cost.SeveralμPADs have been successfully commercialized and received excellent feedback during the past several decades.This review briefly discusses the main types ofμPADs,preparation methods and their detection principles,followed by a few representative examples.The future perspectives of the development inμPADs are also provided.

文摘A segmented predictor-corrector method is proposed for hypersonic glide vehicles to address the issue of the slow computational speed of obtaining guidance commands using the traditional predictor-corrector guidance method.Firstly,an altitude-energy profile is designed,and the bank angle is derived analytically as the initial iteration value for the predictor-corrector method.The predictor-corrector guidance method has been improved by deriving an analytical form for predicting the range-to-go error,which greatly accelerates the iterative speed.Then,a segmented guidance algorithm is proposed.The above analytically predictor-corrector guidance method is adopted when the energy exceeds an energy threshold.When the energy is less than the threshold,the equidistant test method is used to calculate the bank angle command,which ensures guidance accuracy as well as computational efficiency.Additionally,an adaptive guidance cycle strategy is applied to reduce the computational time of the reentry guidance trajectory.Finally,the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are verified through a series of simulations and Monte-Carlo experiments.Compared with the traditional integral method,the proposed method requires 75%less computation time on average and achieves a lower landing error.

文摘Renormalization group analysis has been proposed to eliminate secular terms in perturbation solutions of differential equations and thus expand the domain of their validity.Here we extend the method to treat periodic orbits or limit cycles.Interesting normal forms could be derived through a generalization of the concept'resonance',which offers nontrivial analytic approximations.Compared with traditional techniques such as multi-scale methods,the current scheme proceeds in a very straightforward and simple way,delivering not only the period and the amplitude but also the transient path to limit cycles.The method is demonstrated with several examples including the Duffing oscillator,van der Pol equation and Lorenz equation.The obtained solutions match well with numerical results and with those derived by traditional analytic methods.
