Sino-Japanese Relations:Understanding and Promoting

The unfolding debate in China over relations with Japan has held the limelight with the participation of academics and netizens—a welcome phenomenon highlighting strong public interest in the issue. What merits our concern, however, is the flood of emotional outbursts mixed up with penetrating, expert comments.

Japan's Military Transformation and Sino-Japanese Military Relations

Military reform, which is led by the U. S. and sweeping its way to the rest of the world, has now become one of the hottest topics in inter- national military arena. Japan makes no exception. The reconstruction of its military forces, which is still in progress, is concentrated on the following two aspects. One is the enlargement of the functions of the Self-Defense Forces (SDF). Participation in overseas operations is in-

SINO-JAPANESE RELATIONS IN THE LIGHT OF MAO'S ESSAY“ON CONTRADICTION”

September 1997 marks the 25th anniversary of the normalization of diplomaticties between China and Japan. By coincidence, the 60th anniversary of thepublication of the well-known philosophical essay“On Contradiction”by the lateChairman Mao Zedong also falls in August the same year. In commemoration ofthese two significant events, with Mao’s masterpiece as his guide, the

Strengthening Sino-Japanese People-to-People Exchanges and Promoting the Growth of Bilateral Relations

In 2018,the developm ent of Sino-Japanese relations returned to the right track.The high-level exchanges between China and Japan have achieved mutual exchanges,and social exchanges have also shown a good development trend.

Suggestions to Promote Sino-Japanese Relations

It is obvious that Sino-Japanese relations are importantly both to China and to Japan. Nevertheless, the reality of "hot economic relations vs. cold political relations" between the two countries puzzles people who show deep concern for Sino-Japanese relations: Are the inherent features of Sino-Japanese relations the cause of the phenomenon? Is the gap between aspiration and action the cause of it? Or both are the causes? The answer is there, but exploration needs to be made. In October 2003, the Export Forum of Contemporary Internation- al Relations held a discussion on "the Future of Sino-Japanese Relations. " On June 5, 2004, the forum further sponsored a symposium, inviting four members of the 21st Century Committee for Sino-Japanese Friendship to have a discussion on "Suggestions to Promote Sino-Japanese Relations" in Wanshou Housing Estate. Based on the current situation of Sino- Japanese relations and on "pulse-feeling" and "group consultation," the four members of the 21st Century Committee for Sino-Japanese Friendship in Beijing tried to write out a "prescription" for the development of Sino-Japanese relations. Though the speeches of the four members vary in length and even differ in views, we sincerely hope the discussion could attract your high attention to Sino-Japanese relations so as to make joint effort to bring Sino-Japanese relations to step onto the right track for healthy development.

Forecasting Sino-Japanese Relations in the 21st Century

The year 1998 marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship. Twenty years ago, for the sake of establish-ing a relationship of friendship for the future generations, a treaty of peace wassigned between the two countries with different social systems and vastly

Two-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of the DC Glow Discharge in the Normal Mode and with Einstein’s Relation of Electron Diffusivity

This paper presents an investigation of a DC glow discharge at low pressure in the normal mode and with Einstein＇s relation of electron diffusivity. Two-dimensional distributions in Cartesian geometry are presented in the stationary state, including electric potential, electron and ion densities, longitudinal and transverse electrics fields as well as electron temperature. Our results are compared with those obtained in existing literature. The model used in this work is based on the first three moments of Boltzmann＇s equation. They serve as the continuity equation, the momentum transfer and the energy equations. The set of equations for charged particles presented in monatomic argon gas are coupled in a self-consistent way with Poisson＇s equation. A parametric study varying the cathode voltage, gas pressure, and secondary electron emission coefficient predicts many of the well-known features of DC discharges.

Robust Radiometric Normalization of the near Equatorial Satellite Images Using Feature Extraction and Remote Sensing Analysis

Relative radiometric normalization (RRN) minimizes radiometric differences among images caused by inconsistencies of acquisition conditions rather than changes in surface. Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) has the ability to automatically extract control points (CPs) and is commonly used for remote sensing images. However, its results are mostly inaccurate and sometimes contain incorrect matching caused by generating a small number of false CP pairs. These CP pairs have high false alarm matching. This paper presents a modified method to improve the performance of SIFT CPs matching by applying sum of absolute difference (SAD) in a different manner for the new optical satellite generation called near-equatorial orbit satellite and multi-sensor images. The proposed method, which has a significantly high rate of correct matches, improves CP matching. The data in this study were obtained from the RazakSAT satellite a new near equatorial satellite system. The proposed method involves six steps: 1) data reduction, 2) applying the SIFT to automatically extract CPs, 3) refining CPs matching by using SAD algorithm with empirical threshold, and 4) calculation of true CPs intensity values over all image’ bands, 5) preforming a linear regression model between the intensity values of CPs locate in reverence and sensed image’ bands, 6) Relative radiometric normalization conducting using regression transformation functions. Different thresholds have experimentally tested and used in conducting this study (50 and 70), by followed the proposed method, and it removed the false extracted SIFT CPs to be from 775, 1125, 883, 804, 883 and 681 false pairs to 342, 424, 547, 706, 547, and 469 corrected and matched pairs, respectively.

Sino-Japanese Cooperation in the Belt and Road Initiative:Motivation Analysis and Future Prospect

The global power shift,economic uncertainty and significant domestic pressures have reshaped Japan’s stance from non-cooperative toward positive on China’s Belt and Road Initiative.While structural forces propelling Japan’s policy evolution remain in place,potential gain from strengthening cooperation with China are apparent.It is foreseeable that the BRI will bring wider and more practical Sino-Japanese cooperation,despite a complicated geopolitical setting that will necessitate more counter measures from Japan to "rebalance" its new stance on the Belt and Road Initiative.

Prevalence of Metabolic Obese Normal Weight and Related Risk Factors in South China

[Objectives]Metabolic obese normal weight(MONW)is becoming one of the pubic problems which are threatening human health.Whereas,MONW was facing a great challenge for limited attention,especially for the female in China.The aim of this research was to estimate the prevalence of MONW and its related risk components in South China.[Methods]A community-based cross-sectional study was performed on 3349 residents aged 18-93 years in The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University,Guangzhou,China,in 2019.Data was collected by physical examination data which included physical measurements and laboratory examinations.[Results]In all subjects,55%were females(M/F=1509/1840).The prevalence of MONW was 16.09%(0.04%for male,16.05%for female,P<0.001).The prevalence increased significantly with increasing age in both genders(P<0.001).The binary logistic regression analysis shows that among the risk factors with MONW,age,BMI,gender,systolic pressure,hypertension[Male:ORs=2.56,95%CI(1.23,5.32);Female:ORs=2.88,95%CI(1.76,4.71)]and hypertriglyceridemia[Male:ORs=3.23,95%CI(1.67,6.19);Female:ORs=2.57,95%CI(1.64,4.03)]were found to be statistically significant.The level of ALT in MONW group was(27.88±15.85)in male and(24.33±15.75)in female,which were significantly higher than those in the non-MetS group.[Conclusions]The prevalence of MONW was pretty high.We considered MONW be significantly associated with the increase of ALT.Female gender,advanced age,and elevated ALT were independent risk factors for MONW.It was high time that the government should raise the public attention toward metabolic function in normal weight population.Effective prevention and treatment strategies for MONW and its risk factors should be developed targeting different ages and genders.

Research on evaluations of several grey relational models adapt to grey relational axioms

Grey relational analysis is an important part of the grey systems theory, and it is the basis of the grey clustering analysis, grey decision-making and grey controlling. To research whether grey relational models satisfy the four grey relational theorems, several kinds of grey relational models are commented. Some problems including the properties of normality, pair symmetry and wholeness are discussed. The phenomenon that the lower value of almost each grey relational model is not equal to zero is proved. The contradiction problems between the properties of wholeness and pair symmetry are verified. Finally, several propositions are constructed to explain the above problems.

英国对中日复交前后钓鱼岛争端的认知

中日复交前后,钓鱼岛争端成为制约中日关系的重要因素之一。自近代以来英国长期是东亚地区的重要角色,通过解读英国外交档案关于中日复交前后的钓鱼岛问题等内容,可以发现:一是英国积极关注钓鱼岛争端;二是英国以“避免介入”钓鱼岛争端为立场;三是英国对“搁置争议”的看法反映出中国政府在特定时期内暂时“搁置争议”策略的智慧。在钓鱼岛问题研究中引入英国因素,将该研究置于更宽广的场域中,从旁观者角度审视钓鱼岛问题,有助于扩展对钓鱼岛争端的历史认识。

动校正域CNN法压制自由表面多次波

【目的】自由表面多次波的存在影响了地震资料的解释精度,有效压制多次波是地震处理的重要环节。多次波是具有与有效信号相似特征的相干噪声,传统的卷积神经网络(convolution neural network, CNN)方法难以从全波场数据中分辨出多次波信号。此外,不同工区的自由表面多次波差异较大,导致CNN方法在迁移时面临更严重的问题。【方法】为此,引入物理先验,提出一种基于动校正(normal moveout correction,NMO)域的CNN方法。利用NMO域上一次波与多次波呈现出的曲率特征差异训练CNN,以实现对多次波的有效识别和压制。通过仿真和真实数据测试了方法的性能。【结果和结论】实验结果表明:动校正域上训练的CNN能够有效识别并压制多次波信号,同时保护一次波反射信号。与传统Radon算法相比,提出的方法减少了人为调整参数并降低了计算复杂度,且有效信号泄漏更少;与直接端到端基于CNN的自由表面多次波压制方法相比,新方法面向新数据的适应能力更好。研究成果可为提高地震资料解释精度和降低计算成本方面提供新思路。
