A Comparative Study on Achievements in Negative Nominal Interest Rates Published in Literature in English and Chinese

Interest rates are the key to the resource allocations of financial markets.The frequent appearance of negative nominal interest rates(NNIR)may lead to a failure of the transmission mechanism and arouse system risks in the financial markets.Meanwhile,negative nominal interest rates is a new policy with no consensus reached by academia or policymakers.It is necessary to review the research results and promote consensus to reveal the nature and impact mechanisms of NNIR.Therefore,we retrieved original articles from the Web of Science(WoS)and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)published from 1999 to 2020 on NNIR to determine the characteristics of current research results from various perspectives and compare literature in English and Chinese of highly productive institutions and researchers,hot topics,evolution contexts,research frontiers,and ecological characteristics.There are three major findings.In terms of research ecology,the ecological structure of the top research institutions,both domestic and abroad,remains steady,but the structure of the researchers is not stable.In terms of a research domain,NNIR is studied from many dimensions,and the early established research domains still have long-lasting impacts in English literature.In contrast,Chinese literature mainly focuses on discussing applicable policies with no highly focused domain and research topic with great influence yet.Finally,the focus in both English and Chinese literature has changed.Since the original research framework is insufficient in explanatory power,literature in English is beginning to pay attention to the empirical analyses of practical policies,and Chinese scholars are turning to theoretical study to enhance the in-depth understanding of this phenomenon.Researchers in China should focus on collecting high-quality research materials and pay more attention to the progress of empirical research in English literature to improve Chinese research efficiency and quality and then promote research progress in China.

The Causes of Conversion from Laparoscopy to Laparotomy in Patients with Laparoscopic Repair of Perforated Peptic Ulcer

Purpose: Perforated peptic ulcer is an emergency condition. Laparoscopic ulcer repair is a feasible and safe procedure. The aim of this study was to research the efficacy of laparoscopic repair of peptic ulcer and to discuss the causes of conversion from laparoscopy to laparotomy. Methods: We collected 34 patients with perforated peptic ulcer underwent laparoscopic surgery from October 2003 to October 2008. Thirty four patients with perforated peptic ulcer underwent laparoscopic intervention and 6 cases were converted to laparotomy. The demographics, laboratory data, perioperative data, morbidity and mortality were compared. Results: In demographics of two groups, there were no significant differences in sex, age, location, and mean duration of symptoms of acute abdominal pain. However, there were significant differences in median size of perforation, mean duration of history of peptic ulcer related pain, and the experiences of surgeon. There were no significant differences in the laboratory data and perioperative data of two groups. In morbidity?and mortality of two groups, there were no significant differences in leakage, wound infection, intra-abdominal abscess, ileus, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, and mortality, but there was significant difference in overall morbidity in two groups. Conclusions: Laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer is safe and could be used in routine clinical practice. However, patients with larger perforations (>10 mm), longer duration of history peptic ulcer related pain (>2 years), and learning curve of surgeon could be associated with conversion rate. It is associated with higher morbidity in patients with conversion from laparoscopy to laparotomy.

Kinetics of celestite conversion to acidic strontium oxalate hydrate in aqueous solution of oxalic acid

Conversion of SrSO4 to acidic strontium oxalate hydrate(H[Sr(C2O4)1.5(H2O)]) in aqueous H2C2O4 solutions proceeds as a consecutive reaction. In the first step of the consecutive reaction, SrSO4 reacts with H2C2O4 and pseudomorphic conversion to SrC2 O4·H2O occurs. In the second step, SrC2 O4·H2O reacts with H2C2O4 to form H[Sr(C2 O4)1.5(H2O)]. Sr(HC2 O4)(C2 O4)0.5·H2 O crystallizes during cooling of the reaction mixture to room temperature if the solution reaches the saturation concentration of (H[Sr(C2O4)1.5(H2O)]. The aims of this study are the derivation of reaction rate equations and the determination of the kinetic parameters such as pre-exponential factor, apparent activation energy and order of H2C2O4 concentration for each reaction step.Fractional conversions of SrSO4 were calculated using the quantitative amounts of dissolved S and Sr. It was determined that the reaction rate increased at the initial time of reaction by increasing the temperature using solutions with approximately same H2C2O4 concentrations. The reaction extends very slowly after a certain time in solutions with low H2C2O4 concentration and ends by the formation of a protective layer of SrC2O4-H2O around the surfaces of solid particles. Fractional conversion of SrSO4 is increased by increasing concentration of H2C2O4 at constant temperature. Kinetic model equations were derived using shrinking core model for each step.

An estimate of the conversion rates of SO_2 to SO_4^(2-)- and NO_2 to HNO_(3+) NO_3^- for the evaluation air pollution in Beijing

The conversion rates of SO2 to SO42- and NO2 to HNO3+NO3- are estimated from the field-data obtained in Beijing in summer, 1988. The results show that the conversion rate of NO2 is about four times as much as that of SO2; The conversion rates have a diurnal variation in a day. On the average, the rate of SO2 is estimated to be 4.7% h-1 during the daytime and 3.4% h-1 during the nighttime. Similarly, the rate of NO2 is estimated to be 17.2% h-1 and 12% h-1 respectively.

CONVERSION RATES OF SURFACE HOX RADICALS IN BEIJING CITY

Surface OH radical concentration in Beijing City was measured by impregnated filter trapping technique-high performance liquid chromatography (IFT-HPLC). The observed concentration of OH radical showed obvious diurnal and seasonal variations, with maximum readings at noon or afternoon, similar to 80x10(6)OH/cm(3) in summer and similar to 20x10(6)-40x10(6)OH/cm(3) in fall. On the basis of measured data, the reaction rates related to the photochemical process of HO(x) (OH+HO(2)) were derived and characteristics of atmospheric chemical processes in the city were analyzed. The results showed that conversion rates of atmospheric OH and HO(2) in the summer of Beijing City were about 700x10(6) molecule/(cm(3) . s) and 600x10(6)molecule/(cm(3) . s), respectively. And the net production of OH in the air of the city mainly originated from the photolysis of the gaseous HNO(2), and the main sink of OH were the photochemical reactions with VOCs, NO(2), HCHO and CO. It was different from the clean area.

Thermal Degradation of Polyethylene Bags and Millet Stalks: Influence of the Temperature and the Local Concentration of Oxygen on the Conversion Rate of Carbon

This paper concerns the influence of temperature and local concentration of oxygen on the conversion efficiency of carbon into CO, CO2, CH4, C3H8, C2H4, C2H2, C2H6, C6H6, during the thermal degradation of plastic bags and millet stalks. The experimental device used is the tubular kiln, coupled to an analyzer Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and a Non Dispersive Infrared analyzer (NDIR). Temperatures are considered between 800 and 1000°C. Local concentrations of oxygen during thermal degradation are 0%, 10% and 21%. On the one hand results obtained on the influence of temperature show that for each type of thermal degradation and whatever the temperature of the combustion, the rate of conversion of carbon remains substantially the same. In the case of plastic bags, the rate of carbon converted during pyrolysis is about 90% of carbon converted during reductive combustion. On the other hand, with millet stalks, the carbon converted represents only 60% of the rate of carbon converted during combustion to 10% oxygen. 1 to 2% of carbon not analyzed is in the form of aromatic compounds that are found most often in the soot and/or tar from this combustion system. Moreover, whatever the temperature, the overall efficiency of carbon conversion increases linearly with the local concentration of oxygen. During the thermal degradation of plastic bags, we see that the reducer environment has fostered the conversion of 7% of carbon more while the presence of oxygen in double proportion promotes the conversion of 27% carbon. Regarding the influence of the local content of oxygen, it is clear that for plastic bags, the reactions of oxidation of CO into CO2 tend to be favored for the benefit of those of hydrocarbons into CO. The formation of CO and CO2 by oxidation of light hydrocarbons is primarily from gaseous compounds CH4 and C2H4. At 950°C, we have also acetylene (C2H2) which is involved in the production of carbon oxides. At 1000°C, benzene (C6H6) heavily involved in the formation of CO and CO2. However, with millet stalks, more the local content of oxygen increases, more combustion is better, that is to say that the oxidation reactions producing CO2 are faster than the oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons into CO. The rate of carbon converted into CO and CO2 is higher for millet stalks than for plastic bags, due to this oxygen levels higher in millet stalks than in plastic bags. Similarly, for the millet stalks, from pyrolysis to combustion (at 10 and 21% oxygen), there is practically no hydrocarbon emitted.

太赫兹各向异性超材料极化调控器设计与实现

电磁波极化特性会影响无线通信系统的性能,随着电磁场与微波技术的广泛应用,为满足信息传输和信息获取需求,电磁波极化特性的自由调控变得非常重要,在无线通信和雷达目标识别技术领域,都是通过改变极化状态来实现极化自由调控,随着波长的变短,相比微波通信,太赫兹通信具备频谱资源更丰富、传输速率更高的优势,但传统结构的极化调控器因存在各种缺陷,在太赫兹频段中的应用具有一定的局限性。针对这个问题,利用各向异性超材料设计了一款可用于太赫兹频段的双功能极化调控器,首先采用坐标分解法分析了器件的双功能极化调控特性,分析结果表明所设计的调控器既可以实现线极化波调控,又可以实现圆极化波调控,具备双功能调控特点;然后采用表面电流法分析了调控器的极化转换机理,仿真结果表明调控器具有4个谐振点,超材料单元结构中发生的四阶电磁谐振叠加,使得调控器工作频带宽,且极化转化效率高,在0.45~1.152 THz的频带内效率可高达90%以上;最后还分析了器件的不同参数对器件性能的影响,提出了调控器性能的优化思路和调控器的实际使用条件。通过对结构参数的分析,发现结构参数的变化会影响调控器工作时的频带宽度和谐振点的分布位置,调控器性能与自身工作频带宽度存在互斥关系,工作频带变宽,调控器性能变差,工作频带变窄,调控器性能变好,在调控器的实际应用过程中,为获取满意的调控特性,要根据具体的调控要求对结构参数进行优化调整;通过对入射角和方位角的分析,发现调控器性能对入射角的变化非常敏感,并指出在使用调控器时,它的摆放位置方向要满足入射波在调控器中的投影与调控器边沿保持平行。与现有工作相比,所设计的调控器性能更高效,结构更简单,并且双功能特性使器件的使用更加便捷和多样化,该工作为太赫兹极化转化器的发展和应用提供了理论参考。

西南地区东部夏季降水转化率特征及成因分析

利用格点化降水观测数据集(CN05.1)以及ECMWF再分析资料(ERA5),分析1961—2020年夏季西南地区东部(Eastern Southwest China,ESWC)的降水、水汽含量及降水转化率特征,并利用天气学分析方法初步探究地形分布对降水转化率空间分布差异的影响,最后利用中尺度数值模式WRF4.0(Weather Research and Forecasting Model)设计地形敏感性试验验证地形对西南地区东部夏季降水的作用。结果表明:(1)1961—2020年夏季西南地区东部的降水呈现东多西少的分布特征,但水汽含量却在其东南部和西北部存在两个大值区,水汽大值区降水转化率偏低,强降水区与水汽含量大值区分布存在明显差异,通过分析强降水区与水平风场及垂直速度场的形势配合发现地形是导致此差异的重要因素。(2)WRF模式能较好地模拟出西南地区东部夏季降水的空间分布特征,通过地形敏感性试验发现,区域内大娄山、方斗山及大巴山组成的西南-东北向山地地形分布对降水强度有显著影响,地形高度的降低将导致区域东南部降水量显著减少。(3)敏感性试验中将区域地形高度分别降低一半和去除地形后,区域东南部的降水在月时间尺度中将分别减少9.89%和19.90%。地形高度的改变也会引起区域垂直速度、水平风场、水汽输送及水汽辐合量发生改变,当地形高度降低后,上升运动及西南风明显减弱,水汽输送强度降低,水汽辐合量减少,不利于降水形成。
