澳大利亚的教师迁调制度及其对我国的启示

教师迁调是教师流动的重要途径。澳大利亚教师迁调制度的形成有着重要的政治、文化与时代原因,同时也与教师个人志愿和政府行政干预紧密相关。澳大利亚教师迁调制度体系框架比较完整,结构内容十分丰富,运行程序相对严密,有着十分鲜明的特色,但也存在着一些值得关注的问题。澳大利亚教师迁调制度的经验与问题对我国的教师流动尤其是教师内部迁调具有重要的借鉴价值。

“通课”与汉初官吏的迁调机制——以新出张家山汉简《功令》为中心的考察

张家山汉简《功令》所见“通课”是指对两种以上官吏功劳的共同考课。西汉初,“通课”的条件是,其官吏一般不高于六百石,且处于相同的秩级。因情况不同,“通课”的程序也有差异。在一定程度上,“通课”可以处理不同的“二千石官”所属官吏之间、侯国官吏与“汉吏”之间的共同考课迁调问题。汉初有些官吏的任职所在地距离隶属地较远,其考课迁调也由“通课”途径得到解决。

Context-driven reconciliation in ontology integration

In order to solve the semantic irreconcilable problems caused by contextual differences during the process of ontology integration, a context-driven reconciliation mechanism is proposed. The mechanism is based on the previous work about a context-based formalism-Context-SHOIQ （D ＋ ） DL, which is used for explicitly representing context of ontology by adopting the description logic and the category theory. The formalism is extended by adding four migration rules （InclusionRule, SelectionRule, PreferenceRule, and MappingRule）, that are used to specify what should be imported into the IntegrativeContext, and three related contextual integration operations of increasing interoperability （import, partial reconciliation, and full reconciliation）. While not exhaustive, the mechanism is sufficient for solving the five types of semantic irreconcilable problems that are discussed, and favors integration of ontologies from one context to another.

Mass Human Migration and the Urban Heat Island during the Chinese New Year Holiday: A Case Study in Harbin City, Northeast China

Many Chinese people leave big cities for family reunions during the Chinese New Year （CNY）, which is the most important public holiday in China. However, how modem mass human migration during the CNY holiday affects the urban heat island （UHI） is still un- known. Here, the authors investigate the role of modem human migration for the UHI effects during the CNY holiday for the period of 1992-2006 in Harbin City, Northeast China. The results show that during the CNY week, the UHI effects expressed as daily mean, maxi- mum, and minimum temperature differences between urban and rural stations averaged over the period of 1992-2006 are 0.65℃ （43%）, 0.31℃ （48%）, and 1.14℃ （71%） lower than during the background period （four weeks before and four weeks after the CNY week）, re- spectively. Our findings identify previously unknown impacts of modem mass human migration on the UHI effects based on a case study in Harbin City.

GNAI1 Suppresses Tumor Cell Migration and Invasion and is Post-Transcriptionally Regulated by Mir-320a/c/d in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Objective To explore the role and regulation of guanine nucleotide-binding protein G（i）, a-1 subunit （GNAI1） in hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. Methods Expression of GNAI1 in HCC samples was determined by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical （IHC） staining. Huh-7 and SNU-387 cells stably expressing GNAI1 were established by the infection of lentivirus transducing unit containing GNAI1. siRNA against GNAI1 was transfected into SMMC-7721 cells to knock down the GNAI1 expression in HCC cells. Mir-320a/c/d mimics were transfected into SMMC-7721 and SK-Hep-1 cells and the expression of GNAll was determined by Western blot. The migration and invasion of Huh-7, SNU-387, SK-Hep-1 and SMMC-7721 cells were investigated by Transwell assays. Results The GNAI1 protein was significantly downregulated in HCC samples without changes in its mRNA levels. GNAI1 could inhibit the migration and invasion of HCC cells in vitro. Further investigations indicated that GNAI1 was a target of miR-320a/c/d in HCC cells. Transwell assays demonstrated that these microRNAs could promote the migratory ability and invasivesess of HCC cells in vitro. Conclusions GNAII is downregulated in HCC and inhibits the migration and invasion of HCC cells. This study is the first to investigate the role of GNAI1 in cancer. Regulation of GNAI1 by miR-320a/c/d indicates new therapeutic avenues for targeting HCC metastasis.

Energy-Aware Scheduling Scheme Using Workload-Aware Consolidation Technique in Cloud Data Centres

To reduce energy consumption in cloud data centres,in this paper,we propose two algorithms called the Energy-aware Scheduling algorithm using Workload-aware Consolidation Technique(ESWCT) and the Energyaware Live Migration algorithm using Workload-aware Consolidation Technique(ELMWCT).As opposed to traditional energy-aware scheduling algorithms,which often focus on only one-dimensional resource,the two algorithms are based on the fact that multiple resources(such as CPU,memory and network bandwidth)are shared by users concurrently in cloud data centres and heterogeneous workloads have different resource consumption characteristics.Both algorithms investigate the problem of consolidating heterogeneous workloads.They try to execute all Virtual Machines(VMs) with the minimum amount of Physical Machines(PMs),and then power off unused physical servers to reduce power consumption.Simulation results show that both algorithms efficiently utilise the resources in cloud data centres,and the multidimensional resources have good balanced utilizations,which demonstrate their promising energy saving capability.

Migration Laws of Floating Population in Mianyang

Based on the overall analysis of the floating population among big and medium-sized cities in China,this paper, by means of statistics and questionnaires, makes a systematical study on the migratory features of the floating population in Mianyang, its employment structure, migrating causes and channels. According to the findings, the author finds a fact that with the strategy of Western Development, and with the construction of science and technology city of Mianyang, the migrating in Mianyang conforms to the general patterns of the migration, which has happened in those big and medium-sized cities in China.In addition,the city has a new but unique feature — economic factor, as the driving force of population migration, is quite distinct from that of those citiesin eastern areas of China.

Possible modulation of migrating diurnal tide by latitudinal gradient of zonal wind observed by SABER/TIMED

Temperature data from SABER/TIMED and Empirical Orthogonal Function （EOF） analysis are taken to examine possible modulations of the temperature migrating diurnal tide （DW1） by latitudinal gradients of zonal mean zonal wind （ ζ ）. The result shows that ζ increases with altitudes and displays clearly seasonal and interannual variability. In the upper meso- sphere and lower thermosphere （MLT）, at the latitudes between 20°N and 20°S, when ζ strengthens （weakens） at equinoxes （solstices） the DW1 amplitude increases （decreases） simultaneously. Stronger maximum in March-April equinox occurs in both ζ and the DW1 amplitude. Besides, a quasi-biennial oscillation of DW1 is also found to be synchronous with ζ. The resembling spatial-temporal features suggest that ζ in the upper tropic MLT probably plays an important role in modulating semiannual, annual, and quasi-biennial oscillations in DW1 at the same latitude and altitude. In addition, ζ in the meso- sphere possibly affects the propagation of DW1 and produces SAO of DW1 in the lower thermosphere. Thus, SAO of DW1 in the upper MLT may be a combined effect of ζ both in the mesosphere and in the upper MLT, which models studies should determine in the future.

Strain-tunable electronic and transport properties of MoS2 nanotubes

Using density functional theory calculations, we have investigated the mechanical properties and strain effects on the electronic structure and transport properties of molybdenum disulfide （MoS2） nanotubes. At a similar diameter, an armchair nanotube has a higher Young＇s modulus and Poisson ratio than its zigzag counterpart due to the different orientations of Mo-S bond topologies. An increase in axial tensile strain leads to a progressive decrease in the band gap for both armchair and zigzag nanotubes. For armchair nanotube, however, there is a semiconductor-to-metal transition at the tensile strain of about 8%. For both armchair and zigzag nanotubes, the effective mass of a hole is uniformly larger than its electron counterpart, and is more sensitive to strain. Based on deformation potential theory, we have calculated the carrier mobilities of MoS2 nanotubes. It is found that the hole mobility is higher than its electron counterpart for armchair （6, 6） nanotube while the electron mobility is higher than its hole counterpart for zigzag （10, 0） nanotube. Our results highlight the tunable electronic properties of MoS2 nanotubes, promising for interesting applications in nanodevices, such as opto-electronics, photoluminescence, electronic switch and nanoscale strain sensor.

Strain-induced direct-indirect bandgap transition and phonon modulation in monolayer WS2

In situ strain photoluminescence （PL） and Raman spectroscopy have been employed to exploit the evolutions of the electronic band structure and lattice vibrational responses of chemical vapor deposition （CVD）-grown monolayer tungsten disulphide （WS2） under uniaxial tensile strain. Observable broadening and appearance of an extra small feature at the longer-wavelength side shoulder of the PL peak occur under 2.5% strain, which could indicate the direct-indirect bandgap transition and is further confirmed by our density-functional-theory calculations. As the strain increases further, the spectral weight of the indirect transition gradually increases. Over the entire strain range, with the increase of the strain, the light emissions corresponding to each optical transition, such as the direct bandgap transition （K-K） and indirect bandgap transition （F-K, ≥2.5%）, exhibit a monotonous linear redshift. In addition, the binding energy of the indirect transition is found to be larger than that of the direct transition, and the slight lowering of the trion dissociation energy with increasing strain is observed. The strain was used to modulate not only the electronic band structure but also the lattice vibrations. The softening and splitting of the in-plane E＇ mode is observed under uniaxial tensile strain, and polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy confirms the observed zigzag-oriented edge of WS2 grown by CVD in previous studies. These findings enrich our understanding of the strained states of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide （TMD） materials and lay a foundation for developing applications exploiting their strain-dependent optical properties, including the strain detection and light-emission modulation of such emerging two-dimensional TMDs.

Slow light propagation without absorption based on intersubband transitions in a semiconductor quantum well

When semiconductor quantum wells(SQWs) interact with lasers,the group velocity of the low-intensity light pulse is studied theoretically.It is shown that by adjusting the parameters,slow light propagation of the probe field can be exhibited in such a system.Meanwhile,the probe absorption-gain spectra can be changed from absorption to zero,i.e.,electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT).It is easy to observe the light propagation experimentally,and it leads to potential applications in many fields of solid-state quantum information,for example,optical switching,detection and quantum computing.

Enhancement of ion transport in porous media by the use of a continuously reoriented electric field

Electromigration in porous media is enhanced by a new type of electrokinetic processing. Compared with a single -oriented electric field, a continuously reoriented electric field was proven to sharply enhance mass transport of several heavy metals in kaolin. The initial concentration of the metals was: Cd: 250 mg/kg; Cu: 250 mg/kg; Ni: 250 mg/kg; Zn: 900 mg/kg. Electric field reorientation was obtained by the use of a fixed anode and a cathode that rotated at different frequencies (0, 0.25, 1.00, 1.25, 2.00, 5.00 and 10.00 r/m). Mass transport evidently increased from 0 r/m to 1.25 r/m, and then decreased as the rotation speed reached 10 r/m. From 0 r/m to 1.25 r/m, mass transport increased 2.87 times for Cd, 3.17 times for Cu, 2.11 times for Ni, and 4.13 times for Zn. We suggest that continuous reorientation of the electric field facilitates the advance of ions through kaolin pores, minimizing the retardation effect caused by media tortuosity.

A SCATTERING MATRIX MODEL OF SEMICONDUCTOR SUPERLATTICES IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL WAVE-VECTOR SPACE AND ITS DIFFUSION LIMIT

The authors first establish a quantum microscopic scattering matrix model in multidimen-sional wave-vector space, which relates the phase space density of each superlattice cell withthat of the neighbouring cells. Then, in the limit of a large number of cells, a SHE (SphericalHarmonics Expansion)-type model of diffusion equations for the particle number density in theposition-energy space is obtained. The crucial features of diffusion constants on retaining thememory of the quantum scattering characteristics of the superlattice elementary cell (like e.g.transmission resonances) are shown in order. Two examples are treated with the analyticallycomputation of the diffusion constants.
