Subsidence Monitoring and Mechanism Analysis of Anju Airport in Suining Based on InSAR and Numerical Simulation
No full textThe mountainous area of southwest China is characterized by significant topography and complex geological conditions, which pose great challenges to the airport’s site selection, construction, and safe operation. Suining Anju Airport, one of the key projects under construction in southwest China, is essential in alleviating and dredging the air passenger flow in Sichuan Province. Because the overlying quaternary strata’s physical and mechanical properties, thickness, and distribution range are fairly different in the longitudinal and transverse directions, the Anju Airport’s foundation in the hilly area has typical inhomogeneity. Large-scale excavation and filling pose a challenge to the ground stability of the airport. To comprehensively monitor Anju Airport’s uneven ground subsidence during the construction period, this paper selected SAR image data collected by the Sentinel-1A satellite from May 2018 to June 2021 to extract time-series ground subsidence measurements based on the SBAS-InSAR method. Furthermore, based on the simulation of roadbed filling in the airport’s parallel slide fill area, the dynamic evolution analysis of soil stress field and internal subsidence caused by roadbed filling activities was carried out to further reveal the occurrence mechanism of ground subsidence. The monitoring results show that the subsidence centers of Anju Airport are mainly distributed in the filling areas, and the average annual subsidence is −20~−75 mm/yr from May 2018 to June 2021. Comparative analysis with in situ data indicates that the RMSE of InSAR monitoring results was ±6.12 mm. The numerical simulation shows that the subsidence of the airport parallel slide is mainly caused by a load of subgrade filling body and the compression of its weight. The results of this study can provide reference methodology and data support for the construction and future safe operation of Suining Anju Airport
PENYESUAIAN DIRI PEREMPUAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF KEBUDAYAAN: Analisis Tokoh Anju dan Sudha dalam Novel Sister of My Heart dan The Vine of Desire Karya Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Get PDFPersonal adjustment which is derived from cultural system and social interactions always becomes an actual issue. Likewise, the description of women’s personal adjustment which is reflected through the character of Anju and Sudha in Sister of My Heart and The Vine of Desire written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. The result of the analysis indicates that the description of women’s personal adjustment reflected through the character of Anju and Sudha in Sister of My Heart and The Vine of Desire is influenced by cultural setting in the plot of the novel. Cultural interaction carried out by Anju and Sudha has produced typical different patterns of personal adjustment. In India, Anju and Sudha tend to adjust themselves allopathically, while in America, they tend to adjust themselves autopathically. The typical different patterns of personal adjustment produced by Anju dan Sudha can be seen clearly through the analysis of several factors, such as steps of (1) personal development, (2) conflicts experienced by the characters, and (3) women position in a certain culture
Government Intervention and Performance of the Housing Sector in Urban China
Get PDFThe housing system in urban China is now undergoing a process of transition. Housing policy is one of the most popular topics under public discussion. This paper gives a brief review of the recently implemented housing policies and provides some basic information about the current situation of the housing market and housing system reform in urban China. It appears that China is very successful in improving the housing conditions of urban residents. However, there are still a number of problems related to housing disposition and consumption. Based on accepted criteria, this paper makes an assessment of the performance of current housing policy, resulting in several suggestions.China, Housing Market, Housing Policy, Housing System Reform
A Study of cultural displacement of Anju and Sudha as seen in chitra banerjee divakaruni's the vine of desire
No full textThe vine of desire by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is Divakurni?s trilogy which reflects immigrants? life and their problems in the adopted land. Since her novel talks about immigrants? life it will affect in the cultural problems. The cultural problems in this novel are dominated by cultural displacement which happens on Anju and Sudha. Their displacement is caused by their dissatisfaction about Indian cultural values. Their displacement experience makes them throw away the Indian cultural values and adopts American culture, which makes them have the ambivalence later. To reveal the displacement in the Anju and Sudha I use culture displacement and ambivalence concepts, therefore, the two concepts are included into cultural studies. In the analysis, I find their desires to be free from Indian cultural values cooptation, through their dreams and rebellions. Besides, I find also their ambivalence attitudes through their adaptation with new land. The conclusion of my analysis is ambivalence identity of Anju and Sudha, which is affected by their displacement. They create middle culture by combine American and Indian cultures in their life and I call it as ambivalence identity
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

The new species runs close to Ceropales (C.) longisulcata Lu & Li, 2019 in the key to the species of the subgenus Ceropales Latreille from China (Lu et al. 2019) in having flat propodeum with lateral side rather shallowly impressed and with deep medial longitudinal groove; frons remarkably flat anterior to antennal sockets and bent in obtuse-angle on 2/3 away from antennal sockets; ocelli forming acute triangle; and scutellum and postscutellum remarkably raised, much higher than mesonotum in lateral view. However, the new species differs from C. longisulcata in having fore wing with upper margin of SMC2 and SMC3 equal in length (in longisulcata, upper margin of SMC3 shorter than SMC2); frons and vertex with combination of small punctures mixed with sparse large punctures (in longisulcata, deeper and densely set punctures on frons and vertex); labrum pale yellow without any dark patches (in longisulcata, labrum with a median dark patch); and frons black without any marking in the middle (in longisulcata, frons with a yellow spot medially).
