Characteristics of the Jinwuwei and Its Relationship to the Xingjun System
No full textThis article analyzes the relationship between the Jinwuwei 金吾衛, which was one of the twelve central guards (Shierwei 十二衛), and the system of the army in the field (Xingjun 行軍), through an examination of Tang period tactical manuals, like Taibaiyin-jing 太白陰経, and the statutes concerning the duties of Jinwuwei contained in Tongdian (通典).The research to date argues that since the main duty of the Jinwuwei was to patrol the capital palace, it was more a security police force than an army regiment. This notion is based on Tangliudian 唐六典, by and large an explanation of various Tang institutions. However, according to Tongdian, the majority of the statutes concerning the duties of Jinwuwei was derived from the Xingjun system as described in the Tang tactical manuals.During the Beizhao 北朝 and Sui-Tang periods, whenever an army in the field was organized, a unit called yuhoujun 虞候軍 was usually formed within it to take charge of reconnaissance and sentry duties during military operations, the same duties entrusted to the Jinwuwei. In other words, the main purpose of the Jinwuwei was to guard the Emperor like a yuhoujun unit, whenever he journeyed away from the capital.The author concludes that the Jinwuwei should be considered essentially a yuhoujun unit within the Shierwei, the army in the field (Xingjun) under the direct command of the Emperor.journal articl

Celebrity and ordinary users: A comparative study of microblog user behaviors on Sina Weibo
No full textPurpose: This study aims to investigate and compare celebrity and ordinary users' behaviors on Sina Weibo.
Design/methodology/approach: Data was collected from 12,555 ordinary users and 2,467 celebrity users on Sina Weibo. Correlation and regression analysis was performed on users' number of followings, number of followers and number of posts.
Findings: The results revealed significant difference between famous and ordinary users' behaviors on Sina Weibo. We found correlation among ordinary users' number of followings, number of followers and number of posts, but for celebrity users, only their number of followings and number of posts are related with each other. For both ordinary and celebrity users, their number of followings significantly affects how many posts they publish.
Research limitations: We only carried out our investigation on Sina Weibo and the findings need to be further verified on other microblogging platforms.
Practical implications: This research is useful for microblogging service providers to understand different types of users and promote the continuous use of their services.
Originality/value: This research delivers valuable insights into understanding of the characteristics of different types of microbloggers and the ways to increase user viscosity.Purpose: This study aims to investigate and compare celebrity and ordinary users' behaviors on Sina Weibo.

On-chip optical gas sensors based on group-IV materials
No full textCompact and smart optical gas sensors have attracted significant attention over the past few decades. Among the materials used for developing such gas sensors, group-IV materials, including silicon, germanium, carbon allotropes, and their compounds, are considered the most promising candidates. By virtue of their inherent compatibility with the CMOS fabrication process in the mature microelectronics industry, on-chip optical gas sensors based on group-IV materials have merits of appreciable sensitivity and high-density integration. Moreover, such sensors have promising potential to be integrated with other electronic or photonic devices for on-chip signal processing and communication, which are expected to enable versatile applications in the internet of things, point-of-care testing, and information and communication technology. This paper is the review of basic principles, state-of-the-art devices, and cutting-edge applications of on-chip optical gas sensors based on group-IV materials and discussions of their prospects
Determinants of China’s Energy Imports: An Empirical Analysis
No full textSustained economic growth in China has triggered a surge of energy imports, especially oil imports. This paper investigates the determinants of China’s energy import demand by using cointegraiton and VECM techniques. The findings suggest that, in the long run, growth of industrial production and expansion of transport sectors affect China’s oil imports, while domestic energy output has a substitution effect. Thus, as the Chinese economy industrializes and the automotive sector expands, China’s oil imports are likely to increase. Though China’s domestic oil production has a substitution effect on imports, its growth is limited due to scarce domestic reserve and high exploration costs. It is anticipated that China will be more dependent on overseas oil supply regardless of the world oil price.Energy consumption, energy imports, China and VECM
Tuning Edge States in Strained-Layer InAs/GaInSb Quantum Spin Hall Insulators
No full textWe report on a class of quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHIs) in strained-layer InAs/GaInSb quantum wells, in which the bulk gaps are enhanced up to fivefold as compared to the binary InAs/GaSb QSHI. Remarkably, with consequently increasing edge velocity, the edge conductance at zero and applied magnetic fields manifests time reversal symmetry-protected properties consistent with the Z(2) topological insulator. The InAs/GaInSb bilayers offer a much sought-after platform for future studies and applications of the QSHI.NSF [DMR-1508644]; Welch Foundation [C-1682]; National Basic Research Program of China (NBRPC) [2014CB920901]; NSFC [11434010]; NBRPC [2015CB921503]; RCQM, Rice UniversitySCI(E)ARTICLE511
