No full textThis thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role
Chi-Sung's Contribution to Sung-hsiao（宋学）: Especially on his "Fei-han"
No full textChi-Sung (契嵩), a Buddhist priest of Sham-sect (禅宗) in the era of Sung (宋), was also a learned Confucian scholar. His "Fei-han (非韓)" was written to criticize the anti-Buddhistic views of Han-Yu (韓愈), -a noted Confucian scholar in the era of Tang (唐), - which are to be observed in his "Yuan-tao (原道)" and other writings. The author of this article intends, through the examination of Chi-Sung's opinions on "Chung-yang (中庸)" and "Chou-i (周易)", to see how and in what respect his new points of view influenced his contemporary Confucian scholars and, influencing them, contributed to the formation of new sect of learning in the era of Sung.Article信州大学文理学部紀要. 第1部, 人文・社会 9: 49-59(1960)departmental bulletin pape
Fei-yen wai-zhuan the true era of its birth and investigation of its author
No full textFei-yen wai-zhuan 飛燕外傳 (The Unofficial Biography of [Zhao] Fei-yen) is one of the classical-language fictions in traditional China, describing the famous romance between Emperor Cheng-di 成帝 and Zhao Fei-yen 趙飛燕 sisters in the Former Han Dynasty. The author is attributed with Ling Xüan 伶玄, who definitely had confessed that he was living with the Former Han Dynasty in his brief autobiography. However, it was too suspicious to believe, from the beginning of its appearance in the Southern Song Dynasty, scholars have been puzzled to determine the true era of its birth. Through their discussions, now it is widely accepted that Fei-yen wai-zhuan was born during the Six Dynasties, not in the Tang Dynasty, though it is still lacking in conclusive evidence. But some insist that it could be compared with the great masterpieces of Tang-tales, like Ying-ying zhuan 鶯鶯傳, Li Wa zhuan 李娃傳, Huo Xiao-yü zhuan 霍小玉傳, which belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Then should we say that Fei-yen wai-zhuan was a premature masterpiece? It still remains a great mystery to all, including its author Ling Xüan himself. This study, paying attention to the text itself, proves this tale should belong to the Tang Dynasty. Its main keywords are two, Zhen-la 眞臘 and Qi-chu Ling-hua jing 七出菱花鏡 (Water-chestnut flower shaped bronze mirror, circled by seven petals). The former, used first in the historical records in China was in the Sui Dynasty Da-ye 大業 12years(616), and the latter one likely appeared after reign of Empress Wu(690--705). These facts simply tell us Fei-yen wai-zhuan was born in the Tang Dynasty. The true author of this tale is Niu Seng-ru 牛僧孺, a famous prime minister of late Tang and was also a well-known writer of Tang-tales, who authored Xüan-guai lu 玄怪錄. We could know the close affinities between Fei-yen wai-zhuan and Xüan-guai lu. As a drafted scholar-official, all of Niu's life had been under the strife in bureaucracy with the factional parties at that time. Once the opposition party blamed Niu for violating his majesty, to write the tale Zhou Qin xing-ji 周秦行記 named Niu Seng-ru. Though its writer was anonymous, Niu was nearly accused of injury to the majesy (Lèse majesté). I contend Niu decided to write Fei-yen wai-zhuan under a pseudonym to make counterattack against a recreant writer in the same manner and to regain true pride for himself
Phi, Fei, Fo, Fum: Effect Sizes for Categorical Data That Use the Chi-Squared Statistic
No full textIn both theoretical and applied research, it is often of interest to assess the strength of an observed association. Existing guidelines also frequently recommend going beyond null-hypothesis significance testing and reporting effect sizes and their confidence intervals. As such, measures of effect sizes are increasingly reported, valued, and understood. Beyond their value in shaping the interpretation of the results from a given study, reporting effect sizes is critical for meta-analyses, which rely on their aggregation. We review the most common effect sizes for analyses of categorical variables that use the χ2 (chi-square) statistic and introduce a new effect size—פ (Fei, pronounced “fay”). We demonstrate the implementation of these measures and their confidence intervals via the effectsize package in the R programming language
Design and analysis of a new outer-rotor permanent-magnet flux-switching machine for electric vehicle propulsion
No full textPurpose − The purpose of this paper is to propose a new outer-rotor permanent-
magnet flux-switching machine for in-wheel electric vehicle propulsion. The
paper documents both the design procedure and performance investigation of this
novel machine. Design/methodology/approach − The topology and preliminary sizing
equations of the outer-rotor permanent-magnet flux-switching machine are
introduced. Both the number and width of rotor poles are then optimized using
comprehensive two-dimensional FEA. The machine losses are particularly
investigated by transient FEA for the optimal design. Findings − A outer-rotor
permanent-magnet flux-switching machine, with 12 stator poles and 22 rotor
poles, is most suitable for the proposed application. The analytical sizing
equations are quite efficient with a suitable level of accuracy for preliminary
design. The optimal rotor pole width from the FEA results is nearly 1.3 times of
the original one. The efficiency of the proposed machine under rated load is
relatively low, nearly 85%, as a result of significant eddy current losses in
the permanent magnets, which can be effectively suppressed by implementing
segmentation. The predicted outstanding performance implies that by adopting
magnet segmentation the proposed machine is a leading contender for direct
electric vehicle drives. Research limitations/implications − The end effects,
which could be considerable in the machine with relatively short axial length,
are neglected during the study. In addition, due to the high current density and
deep slot, proximity losses in the winding which is not issued in this research
could be significant. All the limitations mentioned above could bring
corresponding errors to the results. Although the research is concentrated on
the application of electric vehicle drive, the techniques can be potentially
employed for other applications. Practical implications − The practical
implementation of such a machine is confronted with several mechanical hurdles,
especially the thermal issues which can be addressed by implementing innovative
cooling system. Originality/value − The outer-rotor permanent-magnet flux-
switching machines so far have not been addressed yet. This research provides
designers with the technical background and another alternative for electric

Impact of Threshold Voltage Instability on Static and Switching Performance of GaN Devices with p-GaN Gate
No full textDue to copyright restrictions and/or publisher's policy full text access from Treasures at UT Dallas is limited to current UTD affiliates (use the provided Link to Article).The p-GaN gate technology has been adopted to realize enhancement-mode GaN devices. However, the blocking voltage can cause the threshold voltage to drift in p-GaN devices In this paper, the impact of the threshold voltage instability on the static and switching performance of the p-GaN device is studied. Specifically, a Vₜₕ measurement circuit is first designed which is able to characterize the threshold voltage after applying a minimum high voltage pulse of 2 μs. From the experimental result, an increase of more than 0.7 V in Vₜₕ is observed within several μs after blocking the high voltage. The static characteristics of the same device are compared before and after blocking the high voltage, and a reduced knee point in the output characteristic is observed at a low gate-to-source voltage. Due to the static characteristic variation, the switching performance of the device is also changed after stressed with the high drain-to-source voltage. Specifically, from the double pulse test result at 400 V/25 A with R₉ =20 Ω, more than 20% increase of turn-on loss is recognized after blocking the high voltage for 30 minutes. The turn on loss difference is minimized when the gate resistance value is reduced to 0 Ω. For the turn-off loss, the impact of Vₜₕ's shift is negligible. Detailed analysis is also provided to explain the experimental result. It is concluded that higher gate drive voltage and lower gate resistance helps to minimize the threshold voltage instability's effect on the device's performance. © 2019 IEEE.Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Scienc

Absorption of ethanol by steam-exploded corn stalk
No full textThe aim of this work is to study the feasibility of using a low-cost biomass absorbent steam-exploded corn stalk (SECS) to absorb ethanol in its production by fermentation. Measurement of many the physical properties of SECS showed its specific surface area was about 214 m(2)/g and it had a good structure for absorption. Some influencing parameters of using SECS to absorb ethanol in water were studied. Second-order and parabolic diffusion equations excellently described the kinetics of absorption for ethanol. Its absorption isotherm was well described by an improved BET equation, indicating that it was a process of polymolecular layer absorption and had phenomena similar to capillary coacervation. Mesh size did not significantly affect absorptivity, but absorbency decreased with temperature. Absorptivity of SECS for ethanol was compared to that of other absorbents: at 30 degrees C and 5% initial ethanol, the absorptivity of SECS for ethanol at 5 h was 92 mg/g. When inactivated through use, SECS can continue to be used as an substrate to produce more ethanol, thus avoiding pollution through discarding. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
