Lian, associate professor in the College of Business and Management, chair of the SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: Relational Dynamics in Supply Chains session, poses with authors/presenters at the 2025 Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) Annual Conference in Orlando, FL on Nov. 24, 2025.
This session explored how interorganizational and interpersonal relationships influence strategic decisions and organizational outcomes across supply chains. Presentations examined trust, communication, and relational dynamics as drivers of collaboration, digital investment, and internationalization within interconnected networks.https://spiral.lynn.edu/facpubs_photos/1047/thumbnail.jp
[[alternative]]Lian...dou/ye Construction
No full text[[abstract]]The thesis deals with the ‘lian…dou/ye …’ construction in modern Chinese. In order to clarify the informational status of ‘lian…’, issues on topic and focus are shown in the first part of this thesis. Then, discussions on semantic functions and conversational implicatures of this construction constitute the sencond part. Lastly, the formal complexity and pedagogical instructions will be presented as well.
Hamiltonian structure-based formation flight control along low-energy transfer trajectory
No full textThis paper studies the three-dimensional formation-flying problem in multibody regime using the Hamiltonian
structure-preserving(HSP) control strategy.Alow-energy lunarhalo transfer orbit is chosen as the reference trajectory,
which can represent the dramatically varying dynamics in the vast Earth–Moon region, and demonstrates much
more complex environments than the vicinity of libration points. This trajectory exhibits time-varying topology of four
different types, with two new ones: saddle × saddle × center and complex saddle × complex saddle × center (to the
authors’ best knowledge, never studied in the literature). Stability transitions occur with a tremendous variation of the
eigenvalues, bringing newchallenges to effective formation controller design. Toobtain boundedmotion, topology-typedependent
HSP controller is proposed using the local stable/unstable manifolds. Difficulty arises in the transition
regions, where close-to-zero real (complex) eigenvalues appear and require huge control gains, which may be infeasible
for onboard computers. Accordingly, the controller is improved by considering additionally the local center manifold,
andthe gains requiredare always lower than25.The controller is simple to implement because onlyposition information
is required, and its validity and robustness in the presence of initial deviations and navigation errors are verified by
Monte Carlo simulations
On Ma Lian-yuan's 馬聯元 "Sharh al-latā'if"
No full textMa Lian-yuan (1841-1903) is well-known as one of the leading spiritual leaders (ulema) in Yunnan province in the end of the Qing Dynasty. He is famous for his great contribution to the reconstruction of the Muslim community in Yunnan province which was disastrously devastated after the unsuccessful Yunnan Muslim rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. Ma Lian-yuan's Muslim name is Nur al-Haqq which signifies in Arabic "light of the God". As a Muslim scholar, he wrote many works in Arabic as well as in Persian. He also translated Chinese classics about the Muslim in China into Arabic, and Arabic literature into Classical Chinese. His Xingli weiyan 性理微言 is an Arabic translation of Liu zhi 劉智's Tianfang xingli 天方性理. The book Xingli weiyan contains the original text in Classical Chinese and its phrase translation into Arabic, each phrase being juxtaposed. Xingli weiyan's Arabic title is‘Lata'if. Ma Lian-yuan wrote a detailed Arabic commentary on this Lata'if. This Arabic commentary is entitled 'Sharh at-Lata'if' in Arabic, and 'Tianfang xingli awen zhujie' 天方性理阿文注解 in Chinese. This book was at first printed in Kanpur in India, where Ma Lian-yuan died. In this paper, the theory of Unity of Being as well as that of Unity of Love which are found in Ma Lian-yuan's Sharh al-Lata'if, or Tianfang xingli awen zhujie are analyzed. Furthermore, the author also discusses Liu Zhi's philosophy, exactly the Chinese version of the theory of Unity of Being on which Ma Lian-yuan's philosophic view of the world was built

Black Generation Y Students’ attitudes towards web advertising value
No full textThe study reported on in this article sought to determine black Generation Y students’ attitudes towards Web advertising value. The black Generation Y cohort (individuals born between 1986 and 2005) represent 84 percent of the country’s Generation Y and 33 percent of the total population, yet their consumer behaviour remains largely under researched. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to gather data on attitudes towards Web advertising value and the value antecedents of informativeness, entertainment, irritation, consumer benefits and credibility from a sample of 400 black Generation Y students across four South African public registered higher education institutions’ campuses situated in the Gauteng province. Data analysis included z-tests, Pearson’s Product-Moment correlation and regression analysis. The findings suggest that in South Africa, black Generation Y students have a positive attitude towards the value of Web advertising and that the informativeness and consumer benefits antecedents are particularly important predictors of this perceived value.http://www.mcser.org/journal/index.php/mjss/article/view/201/186http://dx.doi.org/10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n2p15
Female writer Wang Anyi and her novel Jinxiugu zhi lian
No full textThe bachelor thesis focuses on the novella Love in Brocade Valley (Jinxiugu zhi lian 锦绣谷 之恋, 1987) by Chinese writer Wang Anyi 王安忆 (born 1954). The thesis discusses the literary movements after the Cultural Revolution, including a short account of women's literature of that period. The thesis also introduces the author with an overview of her major works, focusing primarily on three novellas commonly referred to as "Three Loves" (san lian 三恋). The main objective of the thesis is to provide a thorough analysis of the novella and examine the role of the narrator, depiction of characters and the portrayal of space and time in the narrative. Considering all these aspects of the narrative, the thesis also aims to consider the narrative devices that the novella employs to convey the subjective image of the protagonist's experience
Electrostatic control of dual-core optical fibre with NEMS functionality
No full textA nanomechanical optical fibre with a mechanically adjustable dual-core structure has been demonstrated recently. The realisation of equivalent systems with an electric actuation would allow for low-loss all-fibre reconfigurable optical networks. Here we investigate the feasibility of nanoelectromechanical actuation of the dual-core fibre. Such optical systems with mechanically adjustable or controllable components are well known in the form of silicon micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) and are widely used in various optoelectronic devices, for example 2-D optical switches and reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers
