Nan Lin and social capital
No full textNan Lin’s work on social capital is a significant, unique contribution. My purpose here is to explain that statement by looking at the work in historical context. Figure 2.1 is an index for much of the story to be told. The horizontal axis is time, beginning in 1975 when Nan Lin was at the State University of New York at Albany (now the University of Albany), through his 1990 move to Duke University, and on to 2010

Topotypes 11♂ 25♀ (NHMSU), CHINA: Guizhou, Suiyang, Wenquan Town, Guihua Village, Hejiao Cave, 28°15´N, 107°17´E, altitude 695 m, 17 April 2015, Y. Lin and H. Yang leg. Diagnosis. With the exception of S. wulongensis, male of S. bifurcata can be distinguished from all other congeners by the embolus with an asymmetrically furcate end (Fig. 6f vs. Fig. 6a–d, 6g –h), and female of S. bifurcata differs by the stubby, sclerotized central process (Fig. 8A vs. Figs. 5C–D, 7A–C, 9A–B). S. bifurcata similar to S. wulongensis in the shape of palpal bulb and the configuration of vulva, but male of S. bifurcata can be distinguished from that of S. wulongensis by the starting position of embolus (Fig. 6F vs. Fig. 6E, the position indicated by the blue arrow) and the unequal length of branches of embolic tip (Fig. 6f vs. Fig. 6e); female of S. bifurcata separated by the smaller, “Ω”-shaped inner vulval plate, and the shorter central process (Fig. 8A vs. Fig. 8B).

Holotype ♂, paratypes 8♂ and 20♀ (NHMSU), CHINA: Chongqing, Wulong, Tudi Town, Tiansheng Village, Xiaodong Cave, 29°31.853'N, 107°50.817'E, altitude 1050 m, 17 October 2010, L. Dou and Y. Lin leg. Diagnosis. Male of S. wulongensis differs from males of all other congeners with the exception of S. bifurcata by the furcate embolus (Fig. 6E–e vs. Fig. 6A–D, 6a–d, 6G–H, 6g –h); it differs from male of S. bifurcata by the narrower, longer oval bulb, the embolus with two equilong tip branches, and the embolus starts from the submesialback surface of bulb, but the embolus of S. bifurcata with asymmetric branches that origins from prolateral surface of bulb (Fig. 6E–e vs. Fig. 6F–f). Female of S. wulongensis seems also close to S. bifurcata having a similar vulval structure, but it can be distinguished by the lager “ω”-shaped inner vulval plate, and the longer, weakly sclerotized central process (Fig. 7F vs. Fig. 7D).

Holotype ♂, paratypes 1♂ and 1♀ (IZCAS), CHINA: Guangxi, Pingxiang, Xiashi Town, Xinming Village, Banxiaotun, Banxiao Cave, 22°5.542'N, 106°52.148'E, altitude 175 m, 26 July 2011, X. Wang leg. Diagnosis. Male of this species is similar to S. halongense (Fig. 6A) and S. lenachanae (Fig. 6D), but can be distinguished from the latter two by the narrower, pointed embolic tip (Fig. 6b vs. Fig. 6a, 6d), and by the vestigial white eyespots lacking black ocular base in the both sexes (see Lin & Li, 2014: fig. 4G–H vs. Lin et al., 2017: figs 16E–F, 21A). Female is close to S. takensis sp. n. in having a similar configuration of vulva, but differs from the latter by the inverted triangular inner vulval plate, the wider, shorter central process (Fig. 7C vs. Fig. 5C–D).

The development of iron-free partially stabilized cement for use as dental root-end filling material
No full textNdong F, Sadhasivam S, Lin F-H, Savitha S, Wen-Hsi W, Lin C-P. The development of iron-free partially stabilized cement for use as dental root-end filling material. International Endodontic Journal, 45, 557564, 2012. Abstract Aim To determine the effect of increasing the proportion of zinc on partially stabilized cement (PSC) produced using a one-step sol gel process. Methodology A one-step sol-gel process of Portland cement-based PSC with Zn was synthesized by replacing iron nitrate. The crystalline phases of the PSC-Zn powder were analysed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The experimental groups [i.e. MTA, PSC-Fe (control), PSC with 1% Zn, PSC with 3% Zn, and PSC with 5% Zn] were immersed in simulated body fluid for 3 h, 1 and 3 days to evaluate the hydration product formation. The microstructure and surface morphology were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Initial and final setting times of the materials were determined using an ASTM Vicat needle testing machine. To evaluate the cytotoxicity of PSC-Zn system, primary osteoblasts cell lines were used. Results The addition of increased weight percentages of Zn, resulted in a more unstable phase which favoured the formation of a monoclinic structure of C3S with an increased hydration reaction of PSC and reduced setting time. The cytotoxicity testing of PSC with Zn revealed that the material was not toxic. Conclusions The newly synthesized PSC-Zn material had short setting time and was biocompatible
Spatial Chow-Lin Methods for Data Completion in Econometric Flow Models
Get PDFFlow data across regions can be modeled by spatial econometric models, see LeSage and Pace (2009). Recently, regional studies became interested in the aggregation and disaggregation of flow models, because trade data cannot be obtained at a disaggregated level but data are published on an aggregate level. Furthermore, missing data in disaggregated flow models occur quite often since detailed measurements are often not possible at all observation points in time and space. In this paper we develop classical and Bayesian methods to complete flow data. The Chow and Lin (1971) method was developed for completing disaggregated incomplete time series data. We will extend this method in a general framework to spatially correlated flow data using the cross-sectional Chow-Lin method of Polasek et al. (2009). The missing disaggregated data can be obtained either by feasible GLS prediction or by a Bayesian (posterior) predictive density.Missing values in spatial econometrics, MCMC, non-spatial Chow-Lin (CL) and spatial Chow-Lin (SCL) methods, spatial internal flow (SIF) models, origin and destination (OD) data
