黄帝及尧、舜、禹三支后裔的地望及主要史迹研究

黄帝是中国的人文先祖,其史迹遍布中国南北。其出生地在寿丘（或曰青丘）。根据古星野学术,寿星（长沙星）、青丘星分别对应寿丘（长沙国）、青丘国（在楚东南）,以及其妻子西陵氏（其妻西陵氏当居长江中游地区,可能在石家河古城）、玄嚣一系后裔所居,可推断寿丘在南方。黄帝代神农氏“北逐荤粥,合符釜山,而邑于涿鹿之阿”,后又与蚩尤南北分治,因而长期生活在北方。黄帝战胜蚩尤后代神农氏为天子,其都位于南方,其死后也葬于湖南黄陵,而群臣葬其衣冠于陕北桥山。其子孙有二系,昌意~颛顼~鲧~禹一系当在中原,而玄嚣（青阳）~帝喾~帝挚~帝尧一系当在南方。南方文化北上中原有较多地下遗存证据,屈家岭~石家河文化将势力扩张到黄河流域,与黄帝北上大体相应。黄帝南北子孙共同创造了华夏文明。     

Profit-oriented productivity change

This study develops an applicable profit-oriented productivity indicator when producers pursue profit maximization and can recognize input and output prices. We define the indicator, inspired by the Luenberger indicator and the Nerlovian efficiency measurement, in terms of both quantity distance functions and profit. Hence, the study׳s first stage decomposes the profit-oriented productivity change into two terms: profit efficiency change and profit technology change. Second, we decompose profit efficiency change into the changes in technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. Finally, profit technology change is separated into two components for capturing the shifts of technology and relative output/input prices. These decompositions provide a more complete picture of the sources of productivity change. We illustrate them with a sample of Taiwanese banks and compute the results using the models of directional distance functions.     

似是故人来--《德伯家的苔丝》的新历史主义观

新历史主义凸显文本与语境的互动关系,即“历史的文本性”和“文本的历史性”,同时也提出了文学文本“颠覆”与“遏制”的政治功能。细读哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》,可以发现该小说体现了“历史的文本性”和“文本的历史性”意识,哈代在小说中试图对社会的中心意识进行“颠覆”,但其在“颠覆”过程中却又受到历史语境的“遏制”。     

明代漕抚创制史迹考略——以王竑为中心

以王竑为中心的明代漕抚创制过程,实际包含两条线索轨迹:一是由永乐以来的单一武职总漕,演变为文武双轨制;二是由宣德以来对南直隶江北派设的巡抚,演变为由文官总漕的兼职.明清以来史家多关注前者(漕)而忽略后者(抚),导致一方面混淆了二者的概念和时间次序,另一方面则忽视了王竑之前南直隶江北地区行政管理体制不断调整并日趋稳定的史实.漕抚定制的真正意义在于使永乐北迁后明廷必须解决的南漕北运和加强对南直隶行政管理得以有效兼顾.此外,王竑两任总漕之间的七年间,文官漕抚的职位虽无人填补,但其权力却有所分散、转移,其中监督各府州仓粮和卫所屯粮之权由"总督南京粮储"都御史接收,而管理河道和镇守淮安之权,则重新归属于漕运武臣之手.     

走不出命运怪圈

张恨水小说《夜深沉》中的杨月容是典型的女伶悲剧形象.残酷的生存环境在把她推向人生炼狱的同时,铸就了她抗争的秉性.但抗争结果却没有摆脱沦为有闲阶级享乐工具的命运.从卖唱维生的大杂院大众情人到供有闲阶级享用的剧院明星,再到觉醒后毅然逃出堕落围城回到民间重操旧业以糊口,她像在沉沉黑夜里走了一个"鬼打墙"的怪圈.这是一个不以抗争者意志为转移的命运怪圈.杨月容最终没有走出这个怪圈,却以抗争失败后的反思与觉醒实证了女伶悲剧人生的社会必然性.     

血沉、白细胞计数和C反应蛋白在糖尿病足评估中的作用

目的本文旨在评估炎性因子而对不同程度的糖尿病足病患者作出早期判断的策略。方法对68例不同程度的糖尿病足病患者入院分别进行血沉、白细胞计数和C反应蛋白的测定并作比较。结果 C反应蛋白在2级~4级的糖尿病足病患者中是最有价值的标记物,而血沉、白细胞计数无法预示其程度。结论在不同程度的糖尿病足病患者中C反应蛋白是一个有价值的预测因子。     

基于物联网的在线、智能调度方法的相关思考

物联网的飞速发展给生产调度系统带来了前所未有的机遇和挑战,数据的多源异构和连续涌入性、信息的透明性以及人、物料、设备、生产过程、产品等众多对象呈现出的连续动态存在性,这些新特征导致传统的调度优化方法难以适用。在已有研究的基础上,总结了物联网、调度优化方法以及基于情景的建模方法的研究现状和存在的问题,分析基于物联网的在线智能调度涉及到的问题及其特征,并提出其中的关键科学问题是基于情景的在线建模方法;提出该问题未来的研究目标为:针对物联网环境下调度对象状态的动态连续变化性,提供一种在线实时的智能优化调度方法,以最终实现调度优化过程的连续性以及调度优化决策的科学性、有效性和实用性;并详细阐述了未来关于基于情景的建模方法、基于情景的模型实时求解方法和基于情景的在线调度决策支持方法三方面的研究内容,为后续的深入研究做前期的思考和探索。     

An online copy number variant detection method for short sequencing reads

The availability of the next generation sequencing (NGS) technology in today's biomedical research has provided new opportunities in scientific discovery of genetic information. The high-throughput NGS technology, especially DNA-seq, is particularly useful in profiling a genome for the analysis of DNA copy number variants (CNVs). The read count (RC) data resulting from NGS technology are massive and information rich. How to exploit the RC data for accurate CNV detection has become a computational and statistical challenge. We provide a statistical online change point method to help detect CNVs in the sequencing RC data in this paper. This method uses the idea of online searching for change point (or breakpoint) with a Markov chain assumption on the breakpoints loci and an iterative computing process via a Bayesian framework. We illustrate that an online change-point detection method is particularly suitable for identifying CNVs in the RC data. The algorithm is applied to the publicly available NCI-H2347 lung cancer cell line sequencing reads data for locating the breakpoints. Extensive simulation studies have been carried out and results show the good behavior of the proposed algorithm. The algorithm is implemented in R and the codes are available upon request.     

Measures of Association and Visualization of Log Odds Ratio Structure for a Two Way Contingency Table

The odds ratio (OR) is a measure of association used for analysing an I × J contingency table. The total number of ORs to check grows with I and J. Several statistical methods have been developed for summarising them. These methods begin from two different starting points, the I × J contingency table and the two‐way table composed by the ORs. In this paper we focus our attention on the relationship between these methods and point out that, for an exhaustive analysis of association through log ORs, it is necessary to consider all the outcomes of these methods. We also introduce some new methodological and graphical features. In order to illustrate previously used methodologies, we consider a data table of the cross‐classification of the colour of eyes and hair of 5387 children from Scotland. We point out how, through the log OR analysis, it is possible to extract useful information about the association between variables.     

“America Will Not Tolerate Slave Traders”: Counter-Trafficking Policies and US Power

The US government has implemented an ambitious set of policies designed to combat human trafficking and sex trafficking in women and girls in particular. This article argues that anti-trafficking discourse and policy can be understood as a project to sustain and strengthen US power. This power has been wielded through the use of foreign aid, which influences the actions of both state and non-state actors overseas. Existing policies reinforce unilateralism and executive-branch dominance. Policymakers have also used gender strategically to moralize their actions and assert global leadership on this issue. Gender is thus deployed to serve US interests.
