Herein, this study proposes a complex geopolitical influence model, considering the affected nations' response. The geopolitical influences of great power in the affected nation are correlated with overall strength, the acceptance degree of the affected nation to the great power and the distance between both sides. Then, the geopolitical influences of China and the US in Southeast Asia countries are empirically analyzed from 2005 to 2015. The geopolitical influence of China in Southeast Asia has been largely growing for the past decades, accompanying with a constant trend of the US' effects. It is believed that China and the US can coexist peacefully in Southeast Asia to promote the regional development, and jointly create an open, inclusive and balanced regional cooperation architecture that benefits all nations in this region and great powers, through mutual political trust and economic beneficial cooperation. This study may contribute to advancing the policy debate and determining the optimal cooperation in pledging commitment to a new and sustainable model of great power relationship among the various regional geopolitical options.展开更多

Furthermore, this innovative method will cost down at high technology nano-Fab especially for 28 nanometer process. Through the theoretical study and numerical simulation, we predict the best permutation for mitigating EMI noise from three-phase electric power lines system without any shielding system down to 1.2 mG in 3.0 m distance from applying I = 50 A at 60 Hz with 12 series cable tray system. Followed above discussions, this study indicated different and new perspectives with before opinions of some researcher. The measured magnetic field values on the nano-Fab are in good agreement with this simulation results. These good results give more confident to apply in new building nano-Fab system. Furthermore, this innovation will cost down for EMI shielding at high technology nano-Fab especially for 40 (and below) nanometer process.展开更多
