The effect of this policy is yet to be proven. Based on the panel data of 283 Chinese cities between 1984 and 2012, this paper investigates the effect of high-tech zones on regional economic development. Empirical results suggest that first, national hightech zones have remarkably enhanced regional GDP and per capita GDP growth, and this conclusion still holds true after multiple rounds of robustness test; second, the economic effect of national high-tech zones is subject to diminishing marginal return and compared with higher-tier cities, lower-tier cities benefited more from the creation of national hightech zones. This paper concludes that national high-tech zones where special policies are experimented and offered not only drive economic development but, if properly distributed across regions, may help reduce regional economic disparities as well. The results of this study provide important implications for the future distribution of national high-tech zones and the creation of other relevant policies.展开更多

It also plays an important role in implementing the national independent innovative strategy. How-ever, most of the high-tech industrial zones have many problems in their development process, such as efficiency of land use, weakness of oriented function and lack of land intensive. To solve these problems, the authors of this paper introduced the concept of land use performance and established the theoretical model to assess the land use performance of high-tech industrial zones. The model consists of the following three-dimensional parts: land use benefit, land use efficiency and innovative function. Based on this theory model, an index system which was composed of three secondary indictors, eight tertiary indictors and 37 fourth-grade indictors was set up to evaluate the land use performance of high-tech zone. To avoid the defects of plus model and function model, the authors brought out a three-dimensional evaluation model to examine the index of the land use performance of the high-tech industrial parks, which equals to the evaluation indicator system of land use performance of high-tech zone based on the above research. The authors examined the land use performance of five different high-tech industrial parks in Haidian District, Beijing City. The results indicated that the indicator system per-forms better in the aspect of evaluating land use benefit, land use efficiency and function of the high-tech industrial zone compared with other models.展开更多

PM and trace elements are measured by the online pollution monitoring, forecast-warning and source term retrieval system AS3. Hourly measured concentrations of PM10, PM2.5 and 16 trace elements in the PM2.5 section （Ca, Pb, Cu, C1, V, Cr, Fe, Ti, Mn, Ni, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Sr, Ba） are focused. Source apportionment of trace elements by Positive Matrix Factorization modeling indicates that there are five major sources, including dust, industrial processing, traffic, combustion, and sea salt with contribution rate of 23.68%, 21.66%, 14.30%, 22.03%, and 6.89%, respectively. Prediction ofptume dispersion from concrete plant and traffic emissions shows that PM20 pollution of concrete plant is three orders of magnitude more than that of the traffic. The influence range can extend to more than 3 km in 1 hr. Because the footprint of the industrial plumes is constantly moving according to the local meteorological conditions, the fixed monitoring sites scattered in a few hundred meters haven＇t captured the heaviest pollution plume at the local scale of a few km2. As a more intensive monitoring network is not operationally possible, the use of online modeling gives accurate and quantitative information of plume location, which increases the spatial pollution monitoring capacity and improves the understanding of measurement data. These results indicate that the development of the AS3 system, which combines monitoring equipment and air pollution modeling systems, is beneficial to the real-time pollution monitoring in the industrial zone.展开更多

Aiming at the azimuthally anisotropic structure in the upper crust and seismogenic tectonics in the Hefei segment of this fault, we collected phase velocity dispersion data of fundamental mode Rayleigh waves from ambient noise cross-correlation functions of ~400 temporal seismographs in an area of approximately 80 × 70 km along the fault zone. The period band of the dispersion data was ~0.5–10 s. We inverted for the upper crustal three-dimensional(3-D) shear velocity model with azimuthal anisotropy from the surface to 10 km depth by using a 3-D direct azimuthal anisotropy inversion method. The inversion result shows the spatial distribution characteristics of the tectonic units in the upper crust. Additionally, the deformation of the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault systems could be inferred from the anisotropy model. In particular, the faults that have remained active from the early and middle Pleistocene control the anisotropic characteristics of the upper crustal structure in this area. The direction of fast axes near the fault zone area in the upper crust is consistent with the strike of the faults, whereas for the region far away from the fault zone, the direction of fast axes is consistent with the direction of the regional principal stress caused by plate movement. Combined with the azimuthal anisotropy models in the deep crust and uppermost mantle from the surface wave and Pn wave, the different anisotropic patterns caused by the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault system nearby are shown in the upper and lower crust. Furthermore,by using the double-difference method, we relocated the Lujiang earthquake series, which contained 32 earthquakes with a depth shallower than 10 km. Both the Vs model and earthquake relocation results indicate that earthquakes mostly occurred in the vicinity of structural boundaries with fractured media, with high-level development of cracks and small-scale faults jammed between more rigid areas.展开更多

Thi...Objective: The present research aims to determine if adherence to the Lewinnek safe zone, when exclusively considered, constitutes a pivotal element for ensuring stability in the context of total hip arthroplasty. This is done by examining the acetabular placement in instances of hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methodology: The authors searched 2653 patient records from 2015 to 2022 looking for patients who had total hip arthroplasty at our facility. For the analysis, 23 patients were culled from 64 individuals who exhibited post-THA dislocations, employing a stringent exclusion criterion, and the resultant acetabular angulation and anteversion were quantified utilizing PEEKMED software (Peek Health S.A., Portugal) upon radiographic evidence. Results: Within the operational timeframe, from the cohort of 2653 subjects, 64 presented with at least a singular incident of displacement. Post-exclusion criterion enforcement, 23 patients were eligible for inclusion. Of these, 10 patients conformed to the safe zone demarcated by Lewinnek for both inclination and anteversion angles, while 13 exhibited deviations from the prescribed anteversion and/or inclination benchmarks. Conclusion: Analysis of the 23 patients reveals that 13 did not confirm to be in the safe zone parameters for anteversion and/or inclination, whereas 10 were within the safe zone as per Lewinnek’s guidelines. This investigative review, corroborated by extant literature, suggests that the isolated consideration of the Lewinnek safe zone does not suffice as a solitary protective factor. It further posits that additional variables are equally critical as acetabular positioning and mandate individual assessment.展开更多

文摘Particulate matter （PM} in the Kunshan High-Tech zone is studied during a three-month campaign. PM and trace elements are measured by the online pollution monitoring, forecast-warning and source term retrieval system AS3. Hourly measured concentrations of PM10, PM2.5 and 16 trace elements in the PM2.5 section （Ca, Pb, Cu, C1, V, Cr, Fe, Ti, Mn, Ni, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Sr, Ba） are focused. Source apportionment of trace elements by Positive Matrix Factorization modeling indicates that there are five major sources, including dust, industrial processing, traffic, combustion, and sea salt with contribution rate of 23.68%, 21.66%, 14.30%, 22.03%, and 6.89%, respectively. Prediction ofptume dispersion from concrete plant and traffic emissions shows that PM20 pollution of concrete plant is three orders of magnitude more than that of the traffic. The influence range can extend to more than 3 km in 1 hr. Because the footprint of the industrial plumes is constantly moving according to the local meteorological conditions, the fixed monitoring sites scattered in a few hundred meters haven＇t captured the heaviest pollution plume at the local scale of a few km2. As a more intensive monitoring network is not operationally possible, the use of online modeling gives accurate and quantitative information of plume location, which increases the spatial pollution monitoring capacity and improves the understanding of measurement data. These results indicate that the development of the AS3 system, which combines monitoring equipment and air pollution modeling systems, is beneficial to the real-time pollution monitoring in the industrial zone.

文摘Nanocrystals have emerged as cutting-edge functional materials benefiting from the increased surface and enhanced coupling of electronic states.High-resolution imaging in transmission electron microscope can provide invaluable structural information of crystalline materials,albeit it remains greatly challenging to nanocrystals due to the arduousness of accurate zone axis adjustment.Herein,a homemade software package,called SmartAxis,is developed for rapid yet accurate zone axis alignment of nanocrystals.Incident electron beam tilt is employed as an eccentric goniometer to measure the angular deviation of a crystal to a zone axis,and then serves as a linkage to calculate theαandβtilts of goniometer based on an accurate quantitative relationship.In this way,high-resolution imaging of one identical small Au nanocrystal,as well as electron beam-sensitive MIL-101 metal-organic framework crystals,along multiple zone axes,was performed successfully by using this accurate,time-and electron dose-saving zone axis alignment software package.

文摘The strength of the sliding zone soil determines the stability of reservoir landslides.Fluctuations in water levels cause a change in the seepage field,which serves as both the external hydrogeological environment and the internal component of a landslide.Therefore,considering the strength changes of the sliding zone with seepage effects,they correspond with the actual hydrogeological circumstances.To investigate the shear behavior of sliding zone soil under various seepage pressures,24 samples were conducted by a self-developed apparatus to observe the shear strength and measure the permeability coefficients at different deformation stages.After seepage-shear tests,the composition of clay minerals and microscopic structure on the shear surface were analyzed through X-ray and scanning electron microscope(SEM)to understand the coupling effects of seepage on strength.The results revealed that the sliding zone soil exhibited strain-hardening without seepage pressure.However,the introduction of seepage caused a significant reduction in shear strength,resulting in strain-softening characterized by a three-stage process.Long-term seepage action softened clay particles and transported broken particles into effective seepage channels,causing continuous damage to the interior structure and reducing the permeability coefficient.Increased seepage pressure decreased the peak strength by disrupting occlusal and frictional forces between sliding zone soil particles,which carried away more clay particles,contributing to an overhead structure in the soil that raised the permeability coefficient and decreased residual strength.The internal friction angle was less sensitive to variations in seepage pressure than cohesion.

文摘Knowledge of the seismogenic environment of fault zones is critical for understanding the processes and mechanisms of large earthquakes.We conducted a rock magnetic study of the fault rocks and protoliths to investigate the seismogenic environment of earthquakes in the Motuo fault zone,in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis.The results indicate that magnetite is the principal magnetic carrier in the fault rocks and protolith,while the protolith has a higher content of paramagnetic minerals than the fault rocks.The fault rocks are characterized by a high magnetic susceptibility relative to the protolith in the Motuo fault zone.This is likely due to the thermal alteration of paramagnetic minerals to magnetite caused by coseismic frictional heating with concomitant hydrothermal fluid circulation.The high magnetic susceptibility of the fault rocks and neoformed magnetite indicate that large earthquakes with frictional heating temperatures>500℃have occurred in the Motuo fault zone in the past,and that the fault maintained an oxidizing environment with weak fluid action during these earthquakes.Our results reveal the seismogenic environment of the Motuo fault zone,and they are potentially important for the evaluation of the regional stability in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis.

文摘The Tan-Lu Fault Zone is a large NNE-trending fault zone that has a substantial effect on the development of eastern China and its earthquake disaster prevention efforts. Aiming at the azimuthally anisotropic structure in the upper crust and seismogenic tectonics in the Hefei segment of this fault, we collected phase velocity dispersion data of fundamental mode Rayleigh waves from ambient noise cross-correlation functions of ~400 temporal seismographs in an area of approximately 80 × 70 km along the fault zone. The period band of the dispersion data was ~0.5–10 s. We inverted for the upper crustal three-dimensional(3-D) shear velocity model with azimuthal anisotropy from the surface to 10 km depth by using a 3-D direct azimuthal anisotropy inversion method. The inversion result shows the spatial distribution characteristics of the tectonic units in the upper crust. Additionally, the deformation of the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault systems could be inferred from the anisotropy model. In particular, the faults that have remained active from the early and middle Pleistocene control the anisotropic characteristics of the upper crustal structure in this area. The direction of fast axes near the fault zone area in the upper crust is consistent with the strike of the faults, whereas for the region far away from the fault zone, the direction of fast axes is consistent with the direction of the regional principal stress caused by plate movement. Combined with the azimuthal anisotropy models in the deep crust and uppermost mantle from the surface wave and Pn wave, the different anisotropic patterns caused by the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault system nearby are shown in the upper and lower crust. Furthermore,by using the double-difference method, we relocated the Lujiang earthquake series, which contained 32 earthquakes with a depth shallower than 10 km. Both the Vs model and earthquake relocation results indicate that earthquakes mostly occurred in the vicinity of structural boundaries with fractured media, with high-level development of cracks and small-scale faults jammed between more rigid areas.

文摘As the mine depth around the world increases,the temperature of the surrounding rock of the mining workface increases significantly.To control the heat hazards,the hot water in the mining floor is developed during mining to decrease the min-ing workface temperature while also developing geothermal energy.This method is called the co-exploitation of mine and geothermal energy(CMGE).The geothermal development may precipitate the large-scale failure of the nearby fault zone during the mining process.However,the evolution of shear slide and shear failure of fault under geothermal production/rein-jection during mining is missing.Therefore,a fully-coupled hydraulic mechanism(HM)double-medium model for CMGE was developed based on the measured data of the Chensilou mine.A comparative analysis of the mechanical response of fault between CMGE and single mining was conducted.The disturbance of geothermal production pressure and reinjection pressure under mining on fault stability were respectively expounded.The results indicate that:(1)The disturbance of geo-thermal reinjection amplifies the disturbance of mining on fault stability.The amplified effect resulted in a normal stress drop of the fault,further leading to a substantial increase in shear slide distance,failure area,and cumulative seismic moment of fault compared with the single mining process.(2)As the distance of reinjection well to the fault decreases,the fault failure intensity increases.Setting the production well within the fault is advantageous for controlling fault stability under CMGE.(3)The essence of the combined disturbance of CMGE on the nearby fault is the overlay of tensile stress disturbance on the fault rock mass of the mining and geothermal reinjection.Though the geothermal reinjection causes a minor normal stress drop of fault,it can result in a more serious fault failure under CMGE.This paper supplies a significant gap in understanding thenearby faults failure under CMGE.
文摘Objective: The present research aims to determine if adherence to the Lewinnek safe zone, when exclusively considered, constitutes a pivotal element for ensuring stability in the context of total hip arthroplasty. This is done by examining the acetabular placement in instances of hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methodology: The authors searched 2653 patient records from 2015 to 2022 looking for patients who had total hip arthroplasty at our facility. For the analysis, 23 patients were culled from 64 individuals who exhibited post-THA dislocations, employing a stringent exclusion criterion, and the resultant acetabular angulation and anteversion were quantified utilizing PEEKMED software (Peek Health S.A., Portugal) upon radiographic evidence. Results: Within the operational timeframe, from the cohort of 2653 subjects, 64 presented with at least a singular incident of displacement. Post-exclusion criterion enforcement, 23 patients were eligible for inclusion. Of these, 10 patients conformed to the safe zone demarcated by Lewinnek for both inclination and anteversion angles, while 13 exhibited deviations from the prescribed anteversion and/or inclination benchmarks. Conclusion: Analysis of the 23 patients reveals that 13 did not confirm to be in the safe zone parameters for anteversion and/or inclination, whereas 10 were within the safe zone as per Lewinnek’s guidelines. This investigative review, corroborated by extant literature, suggests that the isolated consideration of the Lewinnek safe zone does not suffice as a solitary protective factor. It further posits that additional variables are equally critical as acetabular positioning and mandate individual assessment.
文摘This study examines the mediating role of innovation strategy in the relationship between network capital and the internationalization of Chinese high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs),as well as the moderating effect of government policy on this mediating pathway.Based on survey data collected from 289 high-tech SMEs located in Shenzhen,China,a moderated mediation model was tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling(PLS-SEM).The results indicate that innovation strategy serves as a significant mechanism through which network capital enhances international performance.Furthermore,government support plays a critical moderating role by strengthening the indirect effect of network capital on internationalization via innovation strategy.Specifically,the mediating effect is more pronounced under high levels of government policy support.These findings contribute to the literature on internationalization by elucidating a conditional process model that explains how relational resources are transformed into global competitive advantage through strategic innovation,contingent on institutional support.The study offers practical implications for SME managers seeking to leverage external networks and innovation capabilities,as well as for policymakers aiming to design effective public interventions that facilitate international expansion.

文摘The structures of the mantle transition zone(MTZ)are of great significance for studying interactions of the subducted slab and deep mantle and related slab dynamics beneath subduction zones.Here by dense near-source SdP sampling from a large global dataset,we image topographies of transition zone discontinuities such as the 410-km and 660-km discontinuities(410 and 660)beneath the Kamchatka and conduct cross-section comparisons with the seismicity.Compared with the IASP91 model,the 410 exhibits apparent uplifts of 45-65 km with an average of 55 km in a horizontal width of~130 km,corresponding to lowtemperature anomalies of 750-1083 K with an average of 916 K.In contrast,the 660 shows depressions of 15-37 km with an average of 25 km together with downward deflections in a width of~260 km,implying low-temperature anomalies of 161-397 K with an average of 268 K.Thus,we confirm a thickened MTZ with a thickness of 325-345 km around the cold descending Pacific slab.We suggest that topographic patterns of transition zone discontinuities imply a Pacific slab that has been significantly heated in the MTZ with broadened thermal effects on the 660.When considered along with other studies,we infer that the slab is possibly heated by hot mantle flows around the torn slab window extended to at least the MTZ range,thus inducing variations in thermal and rheological properties of the slab.Our seismic results can provide more insight into slab dynamics in the northwestern Pacific.
文摘AIM:To observe the effect of the plus power ring zone(PPRZ)area and distribution on myopia progression.METHODS:This retrospective study enrolled 137 pre-teens aged 8-12 at Taiyuan Aier Eye Hospital between 2019 and 2021.They were fitted with Ortho-K lenses for the first time due to refractive error,with a one-year follow-up period.To indicate the peripheral plus ring zone overlapping with the pupil zone(PPROPZ)accompanying PPRZ,participants were divided based on the PPROPZ to PPRZ ratio.The experimental group had 103 eyes with a PPROPZ to PPRZ ratio of≥0.2,and the control group had 103 eyes with a ratio of<0.2.Participants had a spherical diopter in the range of-6.00 D to-0.75 D,against-the-rule astigmatism less than 1.00 D,with-the-rule astigmatism less than 1.50 D,and corneal curvatures of 39.00 D to 46.00 D.They had a stable best corrected visual acuity of 0.10 LogMAR(20/25)or better when wearing orthokeratology(Ortho-K)lenses.PPRZ and PPROPZ were measured using ImageJ;corneal topography assessed corneal-related parameters,and an optical biometer measured the axial length of the eyes pre and post-one years of lens wear.RESULTS:Changes in axial length elongation were found to decrease when either the PPRZ(P<0.01)or PPROPZ(P<0.001)was increased significantly.The axial length growth was faster in the control group(0.37±0.2 mm)than in the experimental group(0.21±0.11 mm).Furthermore,we found that a larger horizontal visible iris diameter(HVID)corresponded to slower axial growth of the eye.In contrast,axial length growth showed no correlation with surface regularity index(SRI),surface asymmetry index(SAI),flat keratometry value(K_(f)),steep keratometry value(K_(s)).CONCLUSION:For orthokeratology,wearers with larger PPROPZ to PPRZ ratio usually experiences a reduction in axial length growth.The PPRZ and PPROPZ are negatively correlated with the axial length.Our findings provide a recommendation and methods for studying the myopia control mechanism through Ortho-K lenses.
文摘AIM:To investigate the impact of preoperative anterior corneal topographic parameters on the morphology of the postoperative effective optical zone(EOZ)in patients undergoing keratorefractive lenticule extraction(KLEx)and wavefront-guided LASIK(WG-LASIK).METHODS:This retrospective study included 310 eyes from patients who underwent either KLEx(via small incision lenticule extraction,171 eyes)or WG-LASIK(139 eyes).Patients were stratified into subgroups based on the median values of spherical equivalent(SE)and anterior corneal topographic parameters.Postoperative EOZ parameters were measured 1mo after surgery and compared across subgroups.Correlation analysis and multivariable linear regression analysis were performed to explore the associations between preoperative anterior corneal topographic parameters and EOZ parameters.RESULTS:A total of 310 eyes were included(KLEx:171 eyes from 88 patients;WG-LASIK:139 eyes from 82 patients).The mean age was 30.65±5.67y in the KLEx cohort and 29.06±5.94y in the WG-LASIK cohort.In the KLEx cohort,SE,preoperative mean keratometry(Km),steep keratometry(K2),and anterior corneal astigmatism(K2-K1)were positively correlated with the postoperative optical zone reduction ratio(RR=EOZ/planned optical zone×100%;all P<0.01).Multivariable regression identified SE[β=0.027,95%confidence interval(CI):0.022-0.032,P<0.001],Km(β=0.009,95%CI:0.002-0.016,P=0.014),and anterior corneal astigmatism(β=0.031,95%CI:0.013-0.049,P<0.001)as significant predictors of RR(R²=0.456,P<0.001).In the WG-LASIK cohort,SE was positively correlated with RR(P<0.01);K2 and anterior corneal astigmatism were positively correlated with both RR(P<0.05)and EOZ eccentricity(P<0.01).Multivariable regression showed SE(β=0.015,95%CI:0.007-0.023,P<0.001)and anterior corneal astigmatism(β=0.029,95%CI:0.012-0.047,P=0.001)were significant predictors of RR(R²=0.121,P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Preoperative anterior corneal topographic parameters,particularly anterior corneal astigmatism,significantly affect postoperative EOZ morphology in both KLEx and WG-LASIK.Additionally,Km is a predictor of EOZ reduction specifically in KLEx.
