文摘Post-match interview is a medium for athletes to showcase their impressions.This paper focus on the discourse of a post-match interview by Chinese athletes in the sport of table tennis at the 2024 Paris Olympics using the face-saving theory as the main framework introduced by Brown and Levinson(1987).In addition,theoretical extensions(Gu,1990;Mao,1994;Gao,1996)are also used to explain conceptions of face in the Chinese context.This study adopts a qualitative case study approach to investigating how athletes construct and maintain their face.It specifically analyzes the positive face,negative face,and redressive strategies.The findings indicate that Chinese athletes commonly adopt strategies such as emphasizing collective honor,humor,and indirect expressions to address face issues.These strategies are related to the collectivist values that are embedded in Chinese culture.This study extends the application of face theory to the under-explored domain of sports discourse and offers insights for future studies in sports communication and intercultural pragmatics.

文摘Objectives:Flourishing,a central concept in positive psychology,encompasses multifaceted dimensions such as meaning,positive relationships,and engagement.Despite growing research interest,empirical studies focusing specifically on the flourishing of middle school students remain scarce.Given the critical need to promote flourishing among Chinese middle school students,the study aimed to adapt Diener’s Flourishing Scale for Chinese middle school students,examine its psychometric properties,and establish its measurement invariance across gender and time within this population.Methods:Participants were recruited from secondary schools in two Chinese provinces.The Chinese versions of the Flourishing Scale(CFS),along with the Index of Well-being(IWB)and the Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS),were employed.Data collection occurred in three phases,the first two for exploratory factor analysis(EFA)and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA),respectively,and the last one for testing longitudinal measurement invariance and gender measurement invariance.Results:The CFS demonstrated excellent discrimination and consistency with Diener’s original model.Significant positive correlations emerged between the CFS scores and well-being(r=0.75,p<0.01)as well as life satisfaction(r=0.74,p<0.01).Cronbach’sαwas 0.948,and the Pearson correlation coefficient(PCC)for test-retest reliability was 0.85(p<0.01).The CFS demonstrated strict measurement invariance across both gender and time.Conclusion:The CFS demonstrates robust psychometric properties—including structural validity,reliability,and measurement invariance—for its application among Chinese middle school students.
文摘Deep learning has been recognized as an effective method for indoor positioning.However,most existing real-valued neural networks(RVNNs)treat the two constituent components of complex-valued channel state information(CSI)as real-valued inputs,potentially discarding useful information embedded in the original CSI.In addition,existing positioning models generally face the contradiction between computational complexity and positioning accuracy.To address these issues,we combine graph neural network(GNN)with complex-valued neural network(CVNN)to construct a lightweight indoor positioning model named CGNet.CGNet employs complexvalued convolution operation to directly process the original CSI data,fully exploiting the correlation between real and imaginary parts of CSI while extracting local features.Subsequently,the feature values are treated as nodes,and conditional position encoding(CPE)module is applied to add positional information.To reduce the number of connections in the graph structure and lower themodel complexity,feature information is mapped to an efficient graph structure through a dynamic axial graph construction(DAGC)method,with global features extracted usingmaximum relative graph convolution(MRConv).Experimental results show that,on the CTW dataset,CGNet achieves a 10%improvement in positioning accuracy compared to existing methods,while the number of model parameters is only 0.8 M.CGNet achieves excellent positioning accuracy with very few parameters.

文摘Oxidative potential(OP)can be used as an indicator of the health risks of particulate matter in the air.To study the variation and sources of OP,we conducted an observation of PM_(2.5) in a megacity in southern China in winter and spring of 2021.The results show that the average concentration of PM_(2.5) decreased by 47%from winter to spring,while volume-normalized and mass-normalized OP(i.e.,OP_(v) and OP_(m))increased by 6%and 69%,respectively.It suggests that the decline of PM_(2.5) may not necessarily decrease the health risks and the intrinsic toxicity of PM_(2.5).Variations of OP_(v) and OP_(m) among different periods were related to the different source contributions and environmental conditions.The positive matrix factorization model was used to identify the major sources of OP_(v).OP_(v) was mainly contributed by biomass burning/industrial emissions(29%),soil/road dust(20%),secondary sulfate(14%),and coal combustion(13%)in winter.Different major sources were resolved to be secondary sulfate(36%),biological sources(21%),and marine vessels(20%)in spring,presenting the substantial contribution of biological sources.The analysis shows strong associations between OP_(v) and both live and dead bacteria,further confirming the important contribution of bioaerosols to the enhancement of OP.This study highlights the importance of understanding OP in ambient PM_(2.5) in terms of public health impact and provides a new insight into the biological contribution to OP.
文摘Annual haze in Northern Thailand has become increasingly severe,impacting health and the environment.How-ever,the sources of the haze remain poorly quantified due to limited observational data on aerosol molecular tracers.This study comprehensively investigates chemical composition of PM_(2.5),including both inorganic and organic compounds throughout haze and post-haze periods in 2019 at a rural site of Northern Thailand.Average PM_(2.5) concentrations during haze and post-haze period were 87±36 and 21±11μg/m^(3),respectively.Organic matter was the dominant contributor in PM_(2.5) mass,followed by water soluble inorganic ions and mineral dust.Molecular markers,including levoglucosan,dehydroabietic acid,and 4-nitrocatechol,and ions(Cl^(-),and K^(+)),were used to characterize low haze(PM_(2.5)<100μg/m^(3))and episodic haze(PM_(2.5)>100μg/m^(3)).Low haze is associated with local aerosols from agricultural waste burning,while episodic haze is linked to aged aerosols from mixed agricultural waste,softwood,and hardwood burning.Source apportionment incorporating these molecular markers in receptor modelling(Positive matrix factorization),identified three distinct biomass burning sources:mixed,local,and aged biomass burnings,contributing 31,19 and 13%of PM_(2.5) during haze period.During post-haze period,contributions shifted,with local biomass burning(32%)comparable to secondary sulfate(34%)and mixed dust and traffic sources(26%).These findings demonstrate that both regional and local sources con-tribute to severe haze,highlighting the need for integrated policies for cross-border cooperation as well as stricter regulations to reduce biomass burning in Northern Thailand and Southeast Asia.

文摘The high-quality assembly of Large Aircraft Components(LACs)is essential in modern aviation manufacturing.Numerical control locators are employed for the posture adjustment of LAC,yet the system's multi-input multi-output,nonlinearity,and strong coupling presents significant challenges.The substantial internal force generated during the adjustment process can potentially damage the LAC and degrade the assembly quality.Hence,a workspace-based hybrid force position control scheme was developed to achieve high quality assembly with high-precision and lower internal force.Firstly,an offline workspace analysis with inherent geometric characteristics to form time-varying posture error constraint.Then,the posture error is integrated into the online position axis control to ensure tracking the ideal posture,while the force control axis compensates for posture deviation by minimizing internal force,thereby achieving high precision and low internal force.Finally,the effectiveness was demonstrated through experiments.The root mean square errors of orientation and position are 104 rad and 0.1 mm,respectively.A reduction in internal force can range from 10.96%to 57.4%compared to the traditional method.Key points'max position error is decreased from 0.32 mm to 0.18 mm,satisfying the 0.5 mm tolerance.Therefore,the proposed method will help promote the development of high-performance manufacturing.

文摘In reliability analyses,the absence of a priori information on the most probable point of failure(MPP)may result in overlooking critical points,thereby leading to biased assessment outcomes.Moreover,second-order reliability methods exhibit limited accuracy in highly nonlinear scenarios.To overcome these challenges,a novel reliability analysis strategy based on a multimodal differential evolution algorithm and a hypersphere integration method is proposed.Initially,the penalty function method is employed to reformulate the MPP search problem as a conditionally constrained optimization task.Subsequently,a differential evolution algorithm incorporating a population delineation strategy is utilized to identify all MPPs.Finally,a paraboloid equation is constructed based on the curvature of the limit-state function at the MPPs,and the failure probability of the structure is calculated by using the hypersphere integration method.The localization effectiveness of the MPPs is compared through multiple numerical cases and two engineering examples,with accuracy comparisons of failure probabilities against the first-order reliability method(FORM)and the secondorder reliability method(SORM).The results indicate that the method effectively identifies existing MPPs and achieves higher solution precision.
