    Plastic (permanent) deformations were earlier, modeled by a phenomenological model in Peng and Vermolen (Biomech Model Mechanobiol 19(6):2525–2551, 2020). In this manusctipt, we consider a more physics-based formulation that is based on morphoelasticity. We firstly introduce the morphoelasticity approach and investigate the impact of various input variables on the output parameters by sensitivity analysis. A comparison of both model formulations shows that both models give similar computational results. Furthermore, we carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the skin contraction model containing the morphoelasticity approach. Most statistical correlations from the two models are similar, however, the impact of the collagen density on the severeness of contraction is larger for the morphoelasticity model than for the phenomenological model.Numerical Analysi

    Хятан бага бичгийн хөшөөнд дурдагдсан хөшөөний эзний зан чанар хийгээд эрдэм чадварын тухай : Research on the Presentation of Personalities and Skills of Epitaph Owners in Khitan Small Script Epitaphs (I)

    No full text
    Epitaphs, a product of ancient Chinese burial systems, possess fixed structures and compositional conventions, documenting the deceased’s name, year of death, and life events. Typically consisting of three components—the opening (title and author attribution), the main body (narratives of lineage and life events, supplemented by rhymed eulogies for mourning or praise), and the conclusion (recording the writer, engraver, and date of composition)—they serve as standardized commemorative texts. Influenced by Han culture, Khitan-script epitaphs bear striking similarities to their Chinese counterparts in both form and content. While existing decipherment efforts have yielded progress in understanding the owner’s genealogy and basic textual structure, research on the deceased’s personal details—particularly descriptions of personalities and skills—remains limited, with associated compositional conventions yet to be clarified. Focusing on the Khitan small-script Epitaph of Xiao Zhonggong, this paper elaborates on the stylistic conventions for depicting the epitaph owner in Khitan small-script epitaphs and interprets relevant vocabulary. This pioneering analysis addresses a gap in current scholarship

    [[abstract]]The main purpose of this study were to explore the relations between the ocean sport’s attraction, service quality and behavioral consequences in Peng-hu. The researcher applied the questionnaire of “the ocean sport’s attraction, service quality and behavioral consequences in Peng-hu “ and I drew 500 visitors as the research samples who participated in ocean sports in Peng-hu during August and September in 2005. The data collected from valid questionnaires were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation, stepwise multiple regression analysis and canonical correlation analysis. The results are as followed: 1. The ocean sports in Peng-hu attracted visitors to a certain degree and the whole service quality is comfortable to them. 2. The relationship between the ocean sport’s attraction and service quality in Peng-hu was positive to a certain degree, and the higher service quality is, the greater ocean sport’s attraction in Peng-hu is. 3. Within each factors of the ocean sport’s attraction and the service quality, “the specialty of designing activity “and “the comfort of the environment “ had the best prediction to the loyalty of behavioral consequences; “advertisement and spread of the main activity” and “personal requirement” explain “better than any other factors. 4. The canonical correlation analysis of the study was the ocean sport’s attraction and service quality in Peng-hu have a high and positive correlation with the loyalty of behavioral consequences; the ocean sport’s attraction in Peng-hu has a moderate and positive correlation with the tendency of complaint of behavioral consequences. Based on the results, we suggest the related organizations should:(1)strengthen the diversity of activity and develop package route of travel;(2)enforce the communication of information and promote the quality of complementary service;(3)integrate the resources and set up conservation area to build the continuous managing mold of ocean sport’s tourism. For further research in the future: incorporate the follow-up issue of ocean sport’s tourism with profound interview and pay equal attention to qualitative research and quantitative research. Extending the subjects to related organization administrators、managers and dealers、local people and foreign tourist etc. and proceeding a comprehensive research.

    Хятан бага бичгээрх “Елюй хатны хөшөө”-ний тухай судалгаа: Search on the Epitaph of Lady Yelü in Khitan Small Script

    No full text
    This paper conducts a comprehensive and systematic study on the newly discovered Khitan small script epitaph The Epitaph of Lady Yelü by dividing the content of the epitaph into six aspects: the heading of the epitaph, the descendants of the epitaph’s owner, the epitaph’s owner, the date of death and burial, the “zhi yue” (inscription narrative) section, and the date of engraving. These divisions are based on such dimensions as the external form and structure of the epitaph, the content structure of the epitaph text, the historical figures, historical events, and related allusions recorded therein. Through comparative studies between Khitan script epitaphs, between Khitan script and Chinese epitaphs, and between this epitaph and relevant historical records of the Liao Dynasty, this paper not only sorts out in detail such information as Lady Yelü’s marriage and offspring but also attempts to interpret some Khitan small script words.

    What is the Catholic Church's attitude toward socialism and communism? This is a historical question in that the answer changed over time. Drawing on the readings of the essays that appeared in the Catholic journal Yishi zhoukan ((sic) World Benefit Weekly), published in 1940s China, this article offers a special case with which the author wishes to shed light on the question. These essays reveal that at the historical juncture when, or right before, China fell to communist rule in 1949, the Chinese Catholic Church was showing a strong anticommunist stance, more so than its counterparts' in Europe, either in the past or at the time.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000319282700005&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701HistoryAsian StudiesA&HCI0ARTICLE288-1044

    [[abstract]]During the whole composing process of marriage, different races will broke out tough problems in adjustability. Since the influence of varied language and culture, it is difficult to adjust to each international marriage. Due to the developing imbalance in Peng-Hu, amounts of males lose their marriage. Under this serious marriage squeezing, they have no option but to elect international marriage matching center. They must look for their brides from Indonesia and Vietnam by this way. While immigrating to Peng-Hu, the diversity between immigratory and emigratory area, results in different obvious concepts in adjustability in their life. In this matching cooperation, however, causes a lot of leaving problems. Matching Centers match so many couples, maybe at first they really desire to match a great marriage. But in the end, they simply consider about if they could receive the high profit or not. Certainly, they play important roles between these international marriages. After entering the immigratory place, how to adjust and communicate with local citizen, it is worthy to be thought deeply about.
