On the Tragedy of Nick in Snowdrops—The Tension between the Sophisticated and the Nave

Snowdrops is a tale of an Englishman abroad. Nick is a thirty-something lawyer working in Moscow to broker huge deals between banks, oil companies and property developers. His project on a major loan to a subsidiary of an energy company is underway, and meanwhile, he comes across an enchanting girl, Masha and soon becomes involved with Masha's world, psychologically. This thesis tries to analyze the tension of the conflict between the corrupted native and the nave foreigner, and the sophisticated disposition of the narrator and the other innocent part. And thorough analyzing the tension reflected from other characters, the reason for Nick's tragedy is revealed.

Study on Scientific and Sophisticated Equipment Management in Colleges and Universities

The authors analyzed the current equipment management situation in colleges and universities, and pointed out how to evaluate it by using scientific and sophisticated standard. There exists four main problems which are as follows: 1. Management thought is not advanced, and there is short of systematic plan. 2. Technical measures are backward, and work starting point is not high. 3. The level of personnel is low, and the development is restricted. 4. The contents of equipment are not good enough, and the funds of construction are insufficient. This paper gives the proposals on how to construct and develop equipment in colleges and universities in the future and describes the objective of the struggle, the channels to realize this objective, and the three problems to be noticed which are: 1. Adhere to integration of theory with practice. 2. Work in coordination with each other in all aspects. 3. Ensure the scientific decision. The paper also discusses some other specific problems such as management decision making, purchase of equipment, use of equipment, maintenance, modification, renewal of equipment, computerized management, etc..

High-Quality Development Trend and Path Choice of Specialized, Sophisticated, Distinctive and Novel SMEs

Small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs)are key contributors to technological innovation.As China's vanguard for self-reliance and strength in science and technology,specialized,sophisticated,distinctive and novel(SSDN)SMEs have grown into an important motivation for high-quality development,a key stabilizer for the new development paradigm,and a vital force for an innovation-driven China.In recent years,China has been ramping up support for SSDN SMEs,and raised the focus on their development to a new level.At present,some problems and obstacles are befalling the high-quality development of SSDN SMEs,such as imperfect innovation system and mechanism,weak basic research service capabilities,a digital divide in digital transformation,and insuficient vitality of collaboration among players in the innovation ecosystem.In the future,China should promote the high-quality development of SSDN SMEs from system and mechanism,basic input,business environment,and digital empowerment.Specifically,China should increase policy support to consolidate the institutional guarantee for innovative development,build more platforms to form a dynamic innovation ecology,enhance intellectual property protection to spur entrepreneurship,and ramp up upgrading and transformation for the quality and efficiency improvement of traditional enterprises.

Toward inclusive list-making for trade liberalization in environmental goods to reduce carbon emissions

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation(APEC)is contemplating expanding its list of environmental goods(EG)for trade liberalization to fight climate change.In support of doing so,this study proposes that a long list that retains controversies is better for carbon emission reduction than a short common list.This study examines four mechanisms of longer lists:enlarging market scales,enriching product mixes,enhancing product sophistication,and enriching trade patterns.Using China’s emerging EG trade during the 2001-2015 period as a case study,this study compares four EG lists with different EG.The results show that:(1)a longer list reduces carbon emissions from both imports and exports,making domestic regions with different advantages have better chances of improving carbon efficiencies.(2)Product sophistication reduces the emission gap between trading partners,regardless of the length of EG lists.(3)China’s EG exports contribute to carbon reduction in leading regions,while EG imports provide laggard regions with better chances of reducing carbon emissions.These findings provide three implications for future list-making:it is important to(1)seek a long and inclusive list rather than a short common list,(2)shift the focus from environmental end-use to the technological contents of products,and(3)balance the demand of laggard regions to import and the capacity of leading regions to export.

A useful electroencephalography(EEG) marker of brain plasticity: delta waves

Plasticity is a natural property of living organisms that is crucial for adaptation and evolution.Over the last decades,the availability of sophisticated neuroimaging techniques（in particular,functional magnetic resonance imaging（f MRI）,and transcranial magnetic stimulation（TMS））,has made it possible to explore in vivo the on-line functioning of brain and its plasticity.However,

Application of Fracture Gas Measurement to the Earthquake Studies in China

The earth is an enormous open system and the gas-releasing phenomenon of the crust is the major means of exchange of matters and energy at different crustal depth.Therefore,a powerful gas-releasing channel is actually a "window" to understand the subterranean physical and chemical variations as well as stress-strain changes.The releasing places,quantities and ways obtained by systematically observing and recording can reveal the pressure variation and opening state of channels in the crust,and furthermore provide important information for earthquake prediction,tectonic activity and monitoring of volcanic activity.The fracture-gas measurement has been applied widely to earthquake sciences and has played an important role.The authors introduced systematically the application situation and preliminary achievements in China,and pointed out that though this technique is at the beginning stage and not very sophisticated but its capacities for being easy-carrying,fast-operating and inexpensive,makes for a

Influence of Legislation in Toxicology

The influence of toxicology on legislation is quite clear in countries where chemicals are regulated by the authorities. There is normally a toxicological evaluation—in addition to other considerations—behind sales and use permissions and the levels that are accepted in food, air, water, etc. How does legislation affect toxicology? If there is no legislation, then clinical and forensic toxicology will be the most used toxicological disciplines (accidents and other cases of poisoning). The more sophisticated and restrictive the legislation becomes, the more toxicology is used not only to permit the use of chemicals but also to ban them. In addition, legislation for the protection of experimental animals has a profound influence in toxicology and accelerates the use of in vitro and other alternative methods. This paper discusses whether countries in the 'developed' world are overdoing it, thereby maybe hampering the essential use of chemicals in the developing countries. 1989 Academic Press, Inc.

赤脚跑与穿极简鞋跑研究的发展历史与未来走向（英文）

Barefoot running has been around for millions of years,and it is safe to presume that for most of that time,the practice occasioned little interest.Our ancestors ran barefoot because they had no shoes.When footwear was first invented during the last 40,000 years (no doubt at different times and in different places),shoes were by necessity minimal-essentially sandals and moccasins-designed to protect the sole of the foot but lacking any of the sophisticated features and materials present in modem running shoes such as elevated cushioned heels,arch supports,and toe springs.Most of these features were invented in the 1970s,and they quickly became more popular and sophisticated as running underwent a worldwide boom.Today,the vast majority of runners think it is normal to wear cushioned running shoes,and would never dream of running without them.

A new semi-empirical spectrum model for complex steady shear viscosity of complex fluids

A semi-empirical spectrum model is proposed to describe the experimental data of the steady shear properties of a Shengli waxy crude oil near its gel point, where sophisticated structural effects become apparent due to the existence of waxy crystals in the crude oil. The model, consisting of a time spectrum, can well fit the steady shear viscosities of the waxy crude oil over the whole experimental shear rate region from 10-4 to 102 s- 1. Two other experiments on complex fluids reported recently in the literature are also well described by this model demonstrating the applicability and accuracy of the model.
