Along with the new arbitration model came many legal issues, including the fact that the parties did not choose the place of arbitration in advance, and they were unable to reach a timely agreement on the place of arbitration after the dispute occurred. In this regard, although the theory of non-localized arbitration holds that the arbitral tribunal only needs to conduct arbitration in accordance with the rules agreed upon by the parties and does not need to be subject to the legal norms of the place of arbitration, the application of this theory will face huge challenges. For example: at this stage, there are no pure application cases of non-localization theory, whether the quality of arbitration awards and the practicality of arbitration will be affected, etc. On the contrary, a downplayed middle position may be more suitable for international commercial smart arbitration in this situation. It not only reasonably respects the autonomy of the parties, but also connects the case with the legal norms of the arbitration place, ensuring the legal effect of the award.展开更多

By using Hirota's binary differential operators, we determine a variety of external potentials and nonlinearity coefficients that can support nonlinear localized solutions of different but desired forms. For some specific external potentials and nonlinearity coefficients, we discuss features of the corresponding (2+1)-dimensional multisolitonic solutions, including ring solitons, lump solitons, and soliton clusters.展开更多

The electronic structure of the system is calculated using the Kohn-Sham scheme of density functionai theory (DFT). The DFT eigenvectors are then transformed into a set of maximaily localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) [N. Maxzari and D. Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B 56 (1997) 12847]. The MLWFs are used as a minimai basis set to obtain the Hamitonian matrices of the scattering region and the adjacent leads, which are needed for transport calculation using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. The coupling of the scattering region to the semi-infinite leads is described by the self-energies of the leads. Using the nonequilibrium Green's function method, one calculates self-consistently the charge distribution of the system under bias and evaluates the transmission and current through the system. To solve the Poisson equation within the scheme of MLWFs I introduce a computationally efficient method. The method is applied to a molecular hydrogen contact in two transition metal monatomic wires (Cu and Pt). It is found that for Pt the I-V characteristics is approximately linear dependence, however, for Cu the I-V characteristics manifests a linear dependence at low bias voltages and exhibits apparent nonlinearity at higher bias voltages. I have also calculated the transmission in the zero bias voltage limit for a single CO molecule adsorbed on Cu and Pt monatomic wires. While a chemical scissor effect occurs for the Cu monatomic wire with an adsorbed CO molecule, it is absent for the Pt monatomie wire due to the contribution of d-orbitals at the Fermi energy,展开更多

In this paper, the authors introduce a new approach for a self-localization and navigation unit for mobile platforms in extraterrestrial environments, based on the authors" successful results in self-localization of forestry machines on earth. The presented approach is developed from a highly modular concept, which allows a simple but efficient adaption to specific applications by just substituting some scenario dependent components. In this paper, the authors will explain the general concept and the terrestrial implementation so far. On this basis, the authors will demonstrate and discuss the necessary adaptions to the general concept in order to handle the different conditions on extraterrestrial surfaces.展开更多

The localization diversity of protein interactions has been studied as a crucial feature of proteins, considering that the protein-protein interactions take place in vari- ous subceltutar locations. Nevertheless, the localization diversity of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) target proteins has not been sys- tematically studied, especially its characteristics in cancers. In this study, we provide a new algorithm, non-coding RNA target localization coefficient (ncTALENT), to quantify the target localization diversity of ncRNAs based on the ncRNA-protein interaction and protein subcellular localization data. ncTALENT can be used to calculate the target localization coefficient of ncRNAs and measure how diversely their targets are distributed among the subcellular locations in various scenarios. We focus our study on long non-coding RNAs (IncRNAs), and our observations reveal that the target localization diversity is a primary characteristic of IncRNAs in different biotypes. Moreover, we found that IncRNAs in multiple cancers, differentially expressed cancer IncRNAs, and IncRNAs with multiple cancer target proteins are prone to have high target localization diversity. Furthermore, the analysis of gastric cancer helps us to obtain a better understanding that the target localization diversity of IncRNAs is an important feature closely related to clinical prognosis. Overall, we systematically studied the target localization diversity of the IncRNAs and uncovered its association with cancer.展开更多
