This paper uses a slack-based measure toestimate the total factor environmental efficiency (TFEE) of 286 Chinese prefectural-and-above cities for the period 2002-2013. In particular, the relationship between citysize and TFEE is investigated. The findings also show an inverted U-shaped relationshipbetween TFEE and city size, which implies an optimal city size of 16.68 million residentsin China. According to this estimate, most Chinese cities may be undersized due to themigration restrictions of the hukou registration system and, hence, suffer from greatenvironmental efficiency losses. The estimated low average TFEE value of Chinese citiesalso suggests the large potential for efficiency improvement. Thus, government policiesshould focus on relaxing migration restrictions and encouraging the development oflarge cities.展开更多

In TREC2003, the authors tried an approach tonovelty detection with semantic distance computation. The motivation is to expand a sentence byintroducing semantic information. Computation on semantic distance between sentences incorporatesWordNet with statistical information. The novelty detection is treated as a binary classificationproblem: new sentence or not. The feature vector, used in the vector space model for classification,consists of various factors, including the semantic distance from the sentence to the topic and thedistance from the sentence to the previous relevant context occurring before it. New sentences arethen detected with Winnow and support vector machine classifiers, respectively. Several experimentsare conducted to survey the relationship between different factors and performance. It is provedthat semantic computation is promising in novelty detection. The ratio of new sentence size torelevant size is further studied given different relevant document sizes. It is found that the ratioreduced with a certain speed (about 0.86). Then another group of experiments is performedsupervised with the ratio. It is demonstrated that the ratio is helpful to improve the noveltydetection performance.展开更多

Thus far, it has been synthesized only by exfoliation or growth on a few substrates. In this study, we show that thin layers of antimonene can be grown on Ag(111) by molecular beam epitaxy. High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy combined with theoretical calculations revealed that the submonolayer Sb deposited on a Ag(111) surface forms a layer of AgSb2 surface alloy upon annealing. Further deposition of Sb on the AgSb2 surface alloy causes an epitaxial layer of Sb to form, which is identified as antimonene with a buckled honeycomb structure. More interestingly, the lattice constant of the epitaxial antimonene (5 /-) is much larger than that of freestanding antimonene, indicating a high tensile strain of more than 20%. This kind of large strain is expected to make the antimonene a highly promising candidate for room- temperature quantum spin Hall material.展开更多

Theoretically, anthology criticism focuses on three main areas: the preface and postscript, the annotation of the anthology, and the works selected for inclusion in the anthology. Anthology criticism is unique in its methodological synergy, including the direct and indirect communication of literary judgments and the amalgamation of critical theory and practice. This paper argues that the anthology as a form of literary criticism possesses great theoretical value; it sheds light on the development of literary concepts and forms, as well as suggesting the nature of literary transmission. Therefore, the literary anthology plays a key role in the canonization of Chinese literature.展开更多
