No full text甲骨卜辭綴合促使辭例訊息本身的完整性，亦得以逐漸拼湊出甲骨原樣。本文以卜辭黃組為例，搜羅近來綴合成果共十六則；關於卜辭黃組時代，大抵在帝乙、帝辛時期，此時亦以龜腹甲、胛骨為主要占卜之物，本文十六則綴合中，二例屬龜腹甲，其餘十四例則為胛骨之綴合。且其中五組是在前人的基礎上進行加綴，另外十一組則為本人所新綴，過程中並懷疑前人的一則誤綴，文內將此誤綴的兩版，再重新與其他二版進行綴合。Conjunction of divination inscriptions on oracle bones not only contributes to the completeness of inscription decipherment but also helps to restore oracle bones to their original appearances. The inscriptions of the Huang Group approximately date from the reign of Di Yi and Di Xin [Emperors Yi and Xin], when tortoise plastrons and animals’ scapulae are the main divination tools. This article collects sixteen recently conjoined divination inscriptions of the Huang Group; two of them are incised on tortoise plastrons and the other fourteen on animals’ scapulae. Five of them are the author’s additions to previous scholarly works, while the other eleven are newly conjoined by the author. During the process of conjoining, the author discovers that two divination inscriptions have mistakenly been pieced together by previous scholars and therefore re-conjoins them with other two inscriptions
Fifteen Oracle Bone Inscriptions on Conjoined Scapulae
No full text今所見商代甲骨卜辭，基本以刻在龜甲、胛骨為主。本文以胛骨為範圍，共綴合十五則，其中四則屬第一期的賓組卜辭；另十一則歸於第五期的黃組卜辭，內容涉及卜旬，以及田獵的材料。而十五組中，二組則是在前人的基礎上再行加綴，其餘則為本文新綴。This article interprets fifteen divination writings incised in conjoined animals’ scapulae, two of which are pieced together by former scholars and the other thirteen by the author. Four of the writings belong to the Bin Group of the First Phase, which covers the reign of King Wu Ding; the other eleven belong to the Huang Group of the Fifth Phase, which covers the reign of Emperors Yi and Xin. These divination inscriptions predict the results of hunting activities and the activities’ influences on the balance of nature within the following ten days. Animals’ scapulae and tortoise plastrons are the two primary materials of the Shang Dynasty oracle bones unearthed so far

A CeO <sub>2</sub> (100) surface reconstruction unveiled by in situ STEM and particle swarm optimization techniques
Full text linkThe reconstruction of the polar CeO
(100) surface has been a subject of long-standing debates due to its complexity and the limited availability of experimental data. Herein, we successfully reveal a CeO
(100)–(4 × 6) surface reconstruction by combining in situ spherical aberration–corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy, density functional theory calculations, and a particle swarm optimization–based algorithm for structure searching. We have further elucidated the stabilizing mechanism of the reconstructed structure, which involves the splitting of the filled Ce(4f) states and the mixing of the lower-lying ones with the O(2p) orbitals, as evidenced by the projected density of states. We also reveal that the surface chemisorption properties toward water molecules, an important step in numerous heterogeneous catalytic reactions, are enhanced. These insights into the distinct properties of ceria surface pave the way for performance improvements of ceria in a wide range of applications..W. acknowledges the financial support of the national natural Science Foundationof china (51971202, 52025011, and 92045301), the Key Research and development Programof Zhejiang Province (2021c01003), the Zhejiang Provincial natural Science Foundation ofchina (ld19B030001), the Shanxi- Zheda institute of Advanced Materials and chemicalengineering, and the Fundamental Research Funds for the central Universities.

Data analyses of honokiol-induced autophagy of human glioma cells in vitro and in vivo
No full textAbstractThis article contains raw and processed data related to a research, “Honokiol induces autophagic cell death in malignant glioma through reactive oxygen species-mediated regulation of the p53/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway” (C.J. Lin, T.L. Chen, Y.Y. Tseng, G.J. Wu, M.H. Hsieh, Y.W. Lin, R.M. Chen, 2016) [1]. Data were obtained by immunoblotting analyses of light chain 3 (LC3)-II, beclin-1, Akt, and mTOR in human glioma U87 MG cells and mouse glioma tissues treated with honokiol, an active constituent extracted from the bark of Magnolia officinalis, “Honokiol induces autophagy of neuroblastoma cells through activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and endoplasmic reticular stress/ERK1/2 signaling pathways and suppressing cell migration” (P.S. Yeh, W. Wang, Y.A. Chang, C.J. Lin, J.J. Wang, R.M. Chen, 2016) [2]. The processed data show the effects of honokiol on induction of autophagy in human glioma U87 MG cells by analyzing levels of LC3-II, p62, and bectin-1, “Honokiol-induced apoptosis and autophagy in glioblastoma multiforme cells” (K.H. Chang, M.D Yan, C.J. Yao, P.C. Lin, G.M. Lai, 2013) [3]. In addition, chloroquine, a lysosomal inhibitor, was administered to the cells to further confirm honokiol-induced cell autophagy. Sequentially, mice with gliomas were created and treated with honokiol. Amounts of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated Akt and mTOR in glioma tissues were analyzed to determine the possible mechanisms of honokiol-induced autophagy
Border design
No full textThe 3145km long US-Mexican border is one of the longest and most intense borderlines in the world. The border twin cities, El Paso and Juarez, are unlike any of the US or Mexican cities. The two cities grow interdependently, asymmetrically and share lots of contrast. Particularly, crossing the border to shop is common in the region. Both countries have very rich market culture and the border communities could benefit a bigger market in terms of variety, quality and prices. Because of their contrast, cross-border activities could be daily and intense. However, the ports of entries are limited and they are the bottlenecks where influx of people flow getting congested. In average, people spent 1 to 2 hour every day to queue before entering the border checkpoints. Every year, every border crossers spent in total 480 hours waiting in line at the border checkpoints. This creates huge losses on time and money that the border crossers could have spent alternatively for enriching their lives. Therefore, the project proposes to broaden the neutral zone for a hybrid building that allows border crossers to double use their time, enjoying life on the “LINE”. A third program-a co-operative US-Mexican market would be introduced. It would provide a shared public space where commercial, social and cultural exchanges take place. In the end, the entire building design aims to create an integrated alternative experience of crossing the border.Architecture and The Built Environmentarchitectur
Living Laboratory
No full textOne enters the building from the dense city areas to the lawn and begins the transition into the protected botanic garden in the middle of the forest farm. It is a place abstracted from the world of traffic, noise, pollutions and density of the city area - an urban space within which to observe, sit, to walk, to enjoy with various natural elements like flowers, trees, and in addition, the additionally attracted insects and animals. All these will bring about unexpected encounter with nature into the space. The carefully chosen botanic products does not only provide precious samples for the production of knowledge and scientific development, but also produce an array of species, colors, seasonal blossoms, fragrances and textures which consume the general public’s corporeal senses. There are two roles of the building in the urban context – the proposed botanic garden. The first one is a gateway transiting from the man-made cityscape to the planned landscape. The opening – the gateway locating at the center of the building redirects contemplation towards the botanic world. The elongated homogeneous façade does not only direct one’s view towards the opening on the axis, but also erased the sensual connections between 2 sides of the landscape at the first impression to enhance a contrasting experience with the hidden garden behind. The second one is mainly achieved and realized on the other side of the building. The botanic garden is regarded as a natural carpet of an enjoyable atmosphere and the proposed architecture is a sloping platform – a mount where the public can climb up for an overview of the whole landscape and the planned garden layers. The botanic garden becomes the stage and the building as the theater seating. From the urban setting to the position of the building and finally to the materialization of the design, the idea of bring up a utopian vision of living is stitching up the stories boards – An living laboratory which produces knowledge as well as evolves with natural elements through time. There are schedule of accommodations and special requirements for the operation of a laboratory. The programs proposed and the related technical configurations provide a clue for design development, e.g. With its dual quality of form the construction of louvers of sun screening for lab offices can also be regarded as a stepping seating for the garden views. The timber louvers enclosed the whole architecture as an installation on the landscape. Timber is chosen as the main construction material in the hope of seeking a close connection with the nature. Components are assembled in a way to accommodate programs with various spatial qualities.Public Realm Studio, AnkaraArchitectureArchitectur
The Majority/Minority Effect on Product Judgment: Moderation of Involvement and Source Relevance
No full text本文探討多數/ 少數效果對產品態度的影響，是否會受到涉入程度以及訊息相關性的干擾。我們認為在不同涉入程度之下，多數/ 少數訊息來源對產品態度的影響能扮演不同角色。在低涉入之下，多數/少數訊息來源被視為一種週邊線索，可以直接影響產品態度；在中涉入之下，多數/ 少數訊息來源會影響消費者處理產品訊息的程度；在高涉入之下，當多數/ 少數訊息來源與判斷產品的品質相關時，就會被視為是核心論點之一，並會偏誤對所有核心論點的處理。本文為首先提出整合架構，解釋多數/ 少數效果在低中高三種涉入程度下以不同機制影響產品判斷的研究。This study investigates the majority/minority effects on product attitudes with involvement and source relevance as moderators. We posit that the majority/minority source can play different roles affecting product judgments at different involvement levels. It can serve as a peripheral cue directly influencing product attitudes under low involvement; it can alter the processing amount under moderate involvement; finally, it can serve as a central argument and bias processing if it is perceived as relevant to judging the true quality of the target product under high involvement. The current study is the first to provide an integrated framework to explain the different mechanisms by which the majority/minority may influence product judgments under three involvement levels (low, moderate, and high)
Effects of an individualised exercise programme plus Behavioural Change Enhancement (BCE) strategies for managing fatigue in frail older adults: a cluster randomised controlled trial
No full textBackground: To the best of our knowledge, although ageing-induced fatigue could cause adverse outcomes such as frailty, there is currently no intervention for it. This study evaluated the effects of an individualised exercise programme with/without BCE strategies on reducing fatigue in older adults. Methods: A three-armed cluster-randomised controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 184 participants (mean age: 79.1 ± 6.4; mean frailty score: 2.8 + 0.8) from 21 community centres (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03394495). They were randomised into either: the COMB group (n = 64), receiving 16 weeks of exercise training plus the BCE programme; the EXER group (n = 65), receiving exercise training and health talks; or the control group (n = 55), receiving only health talks. Fatigue was assessed using the Multi-dimensional Fatigue Inventory (range: 20 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher fatigue levels) at baseline, and immediately, 6 months, and 12 months post-intervention. Results: The GEE analyses showed significant interaction (time x group) between the COMB and control groups immediately (p < 0.001), 6 months (p < 0.001), and 12 months (p < 0.001) post-intervention. Comparing the COMB and EXER groups, there was a significant interaction immediately (p = 0.013) and at 12 months post-intervention (p = 0.007). However, no significant difference was seen between the EXER group and control group at any time point. Conclusions: The COMB intervention showed better immediate and sustainable effects (i.e., 12 months after the intervention) on reducing fatigue in frail older adults than exercise training or health education alone.

The End of "Made in Hong Kong"? : De-industrialisation and Industrial Promotion Policy in Hong Kong
Full text linkThis article explores spatial aspects of Hong Kong's deindustrialisation, related both to the development of closer cross-border ties and to Hong Kong's evolution as a global city. Industrial promotion has always had its place in the generally non-interventionist economic policy ofthe government. However, under the new political and economical conditions industrial promotion has moved up on the agenda. In particular, the promotion of high-tech industries is given special governmental attention. The author wams that the plans for re-industrialising Hong Kong may be based on an obsolete view of the city: the city as an isolated entity rather than as the cross-border economic agglomeration that it is growing into. The aim should be to develop a strong and productive industrial base with intraregional co-operation for the whole agglomeration instead of just for Hong Kong
