An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Lowest electronic states of neutral and ionic LiN
No full textWe have investigated the potential energy curves (PECs) of the LiN heteronuclear diatomic molecule, including its ionic species LiN+ and LiN−, using explicitly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI-F12) calculations in conjunction with the correlation consistent quintuple- basis set. The effect of core–valence correlation, scalar relativistic effects, and the size of the basis sets has been investigated. A comprehensive set of spectroscopic constants determined based on the above-mentioned calculations are also reported for the lowest electronic states and all systems, including dissociation energies, harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies, and rotational constants. Additional parameters, such as the dipole moments, equilibrium spin-orbit constants, excitation energies, and rovibrational energy levels, are also documented. We found that the three triplet states of LiN, namely, X 3∑−, A 3Π, and 2 3∑−, exhibit substantial potential wells in the PEC diagrams, while the quintet states are repulsive in nature. The ground state of the anion also shows a deep potential well in the vicinity of its equilibrium geometry. In contrast, the ground and excited states of the cation are very loosely bound. Charge transfer properties of each of these states are also analyzed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the interatomic interactions. We found that the core–valence correlation has a substantial effect on the calculated spectroscopic constants.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Atmospheric Remote Sensin

Essays on the Economic Drivers of CO2 Emissions and Renewable Energy Transition
No full text本论文包括六篇独立的文章，涉及两个不同的研究主题：二氧化碳排放和可再生能源消费，这两者都是在减缓气候变化的背景下进行研究的。除了第1章的介绍，论文的每一章都是一篇论文，独立解决一个具体的研究问题。前三篇文章研究了二氧化碳排放的影响因素，其余三篇论文集中探讨了可再生能源转型的驱动因素，以此作为解决二氧化碳排放和气候变化的解决方案。第一篇文章（第2章）研究了工业化对尼日利亚二氧化碳排放的影响。文章采用Kaya恒等式框架并使用时间序列分析技术。结果表明，工业化与尼日利亚的二氧化碳排放有负相关关系，这与传统上论文工业结构转型对环境有害的观念相悖。在第一篇文章的基础上，第二篇文章（第3章）通过研究经济发...This thesis comprises six self-contained essays and deals with two distinct research topics - CO2 emissions and consumption of renewable energy - as they relate to climate change mitigation. In addition to Chapter 1 which is the introduction, each essay represents one chapter of the thesis and addresses a specific research question. The first three essays look at the influencing factors of CO2 emi...学位：经济学博士院系专业：经济学院_能源经济学学号：3132013015441
Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.
Analysis of energy demand, economic growth and emission mitigation in Pakistan
No full text巴基斯坦是一个缺乏能源的国家，但对能源的需求却快速增长。从历史上看，石油和天然气是能源和财政收入的主要来源。石油和天然气主要用于交通运输业和制造业。石油主要是进口商品，而天然气是本地生产的。电力主要来自水力资源。然而，由于工业化、城市化进程的进行和经济规模的扩张，对电力的需求开始增加，政府开始建设火电项目。现在火电项目已经超过了水电项目，这严重损害了能源安全和环境可持续性。目前，巴基斯坦正面临严重的能源危机，严重影响经济。巴基斯坦政府已经出版了一份官方文件《巴基斯坦2025年，一个国家一个愿景》，其目标是到2025年巴基斯坦争取成为世界上在经济增长方面最快的25个经济体。该文件还旨在增加能获得...Pakistan is an energy deficient country and has a rapidly growing demand for energy.
