    This study investigates the acceptance willingness and driving factors of agricultural drones among 229 smallholder farmers in Liaoning Province. Based on the UTAUT model and incorporating policy support variables, the research explores their attitudes toward adopting agricultural drones.A stratified random sampling method was employed to select smallholder farmers from six regions within the province for in-person interviews and online questionnaires. SPSS 27.0 was used for reliability and validity testing, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.Results indicate that the questionnaire demonstrated good reliability and validity. Performance perception, perceived ease of use, social environment, and policy support all exerted significant positive effects on smallholder farmers' acceptance intention, with performance perception having the strongest influence and perceived ease of use the weakest. Based on empirical findings, the study proposes countermeasures including strengthening benefit guidance, establishing a socialized promotion network, optimizing the policy support system, and improving drone service models. These measures aim to enhance smallholder farmers' acceptance of agricultural drones and promote the intelligent transformation of agriculture

    Get PDF
    Polypropylene (PP) fiber is widely used in textiles, medical applications, geotechnical construction, and composite materials due to its excellent characteristics such as light weight, low cost, and chemical resistance. The final performance of the fiber, especially mechanical properties like strength and modulus, largely depends on its internal microstructure, including crystallinity, crystal morphology, and the degree of molecular chain orientation. Orientation crystallization technology is a key means to regulate the microstructure of polypropylene fibers, thereby significantly enhancing their mechanical properties. This paper systematically reviews the technical principles and development of inducing orientation crystallization in polypropylene fibers through processes such as high-speed spinning and electrospinning. First, the paper elaborates on the crystallographic fundamentals of polypropylene, including crystal forms, crystallization kinetics, and their relationship with molecular chain structure. Secondly, it focuses on analyzing the induction mechanisms of flow fields and stretch fields during spinning on polypropylene molecular chain orientation, nucleation, and crystal growth, discussing the influence of molecular weight and its distribution, and spinning process parameters (such as spinning speed, cooling conditions) on orientation crystallization behavior. Subsequently, the paper summarizes various methods used to characterize the crystalline structure and mechanical properties of polypropylene fibers, such as density gradient column, inverse gas chromatography, X-ray diffraction, and mechanical testing. Based on existing literature research, this paper deeply discusses the formation conditions of the highly oriented shish-kebab structure and its decisive contribution to fiber strength. The results indicate that by optimizing the orientation crystallization process, the crystallinity and crystal orientation of polypropylene fibers can be effectively improved, leading to an order of magnitude increase in tensile strength and elastic modulus. Finally, this paper prospects future research directions for polypropylene fiber orientation crystallization technology, such as multi-component system induced crystallization and green processing technologies

    A Comparative Study of the English Translations of Idioms in the Novel Guisheng from the Perspective of Translator Behavior Criticism

    Get PDF
    Shen Congwen’s literary works are renowned for their distinctive Xiangxi (West Hunan) setting, with idioms serving as a defining characteristic of his novels. The novel Guisheng stands as a quintessential example of his style, rich in local expressions that pose significant challenges for translators. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the English translations by Gladys Yang and Jeffrey C. Kinkley, examining their approaches from both intra-translational and extra-translational dimensions, with a specific focus on the rendition of two-part allegorical sayings, common sayings, and nicknames. The findings indicate that, from an intra-translational perspective, Gladys Yang consistently adopts a reader-oriented approach. She effectively conveys the original meaning while ensuring the fluency and accessibility of the target text, often simplifying complex cultural references to enhance readability. This approach achieves a notable balance between “truth-seeking” (adherence to the source text) and “utility-attaining” (serviceability for the target reader). In contrast, Jeffrey C. Kinkley prioritizes maximum fidelity to the source text, leaning decisively toward the “truth-seeking” end of the spectrum by meticulously preserving the original structure, linguistic features, and cultural imagery, even at the expense of immediate reader comprehension. From an extra-translational perspective, the study explores the translators’ professional roles, translation philosophies, and the substantial influence of patronage systems. It demonstrates that translator behaviors and translation strategies were shaped and constrained by a complex interplay of subjective and objective factors. Yang’s position with China’s Foreign Languages Press and Kinkley’s academic background emerge as crucial determinants in their respective approaches, highlighting how institutional contexts and personal scholarly commitments fundamentally guided their translation decisions and ultimately shaped the reception of Shen Congwen’s work in the English-speaking world

    Research on Cultural Communication Strategies and Cross-Border Development Paths for New Chinese-Style Children’s Wear

    Get PDF
    As a representative carrier that integrates traditional Chinese culture with contemporary design, new Chinese-style children’s wear has become an important medium for disseminating Chinese culture internationally, supported by the rise of the “Guochao” (China Chic) trend and the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce. Drawing upon cultural communication theory, brand internationalization theory, and digital trade theory, this study systematically analyzes the cultural communication mechanisms and market expansion paths of new Chinese-style children’s wear in the process of going global. From four dimensions—cultural symbol innovation, cross-border channel adaptation, digital communication, and technological empowerment—the research investigates how this category leverages cultural value and cross-border innovation to realize the transformation from product export to cultural identity transmission. By examining the overseas practices of leading brands such as Balabala, Youlan, and Li Ning Kids, this study summarizes successful experiences and challenges, and proposes differentiated strategies informed by cultural confidence, offering theoretical and practical insights for the internationalization of children’s wear brands. The findings suggest that the global expansion of new Chinese-style children’s wear is not merely a commercial activity but a process of transmitting cultural soft power. Going forward, efforts should focus on constructing a children’s wear cultural database, enhancing the digital cross-border ecosystem, and strengthening international educational cooperation to transition from “products going global” to “values going global.

    At present, China's economy has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development.The ocean is a strategic place for high-quality development, and the promotion of high-quality development of the marine economy is a fundamental requirement for determining the thinking on the development of the marine economy, formulating routes and implementing macro-control policies in the current and future periods.Based on the five new development concepts, it has constructed an evaluation index system for the high-quality development of the marine economy that includes the five dimensions of "innovation, coordination, greenness, development and sharing".For the panel data of marine economy of 11 coastal provinces from 2017 to 2021, the entropy weight TOPSIS model is applied to construct the evaluation index of high-quality development of marine economy,and conduct quantitative research and assessment analysis.The results show:(1)In 2017-2021, the level of high-quality development of China's regional marine economy as a whole fluctuated upward, and inter-regional differences in the first narrowing and then expanding trend.(2)There were significant differences in the level of high-quality development of the marine economy in the three major ocean economic zones during the study period

    A Study on Foreign Trade Transformation under Dual-Dimensional Drivers: Empowering Industry with Yue Opera Culture—A Case of Shengzhou's

    Get PDF
    Driven by the dual wheels of globalization and the national strategy for cultural advancement, the living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and the upgrading of local foreign trade industries have become core issues for achieving high-quality regional economic development. As a major ICH province in Zhejiang, the Shengzhou scarf and necktie industry serves as a core pillar of the local export economy. Yet, it faces development dilemmas such as intensifying international competition and severe product homogenization, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly encountering a crisis of order loss. The deepening implementation of Zhejiang’s ICH support policies and the transformation of the international textile market constitute a dual-dimensional driving force, propelling industrial transformation. Through methods such as literature research and case analysis, this paper explores the pathways for cultural empowerment under this dual-dimensional drive, identifies fusion points between Yue Opera culture and this industry, and ultimately constructs a practical pathway system for Yue Opera culture to empower industrial transformation. This provides a replicable model for the high-quality development of traditional foreign trade industries

    Context-Aware Multimodal Feedback System for Enhancing Outcomes-Based Education in Mechanical Engineering

    Get PDF
    We propose a context-aware multimodal feedback system designed to enhance Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) in mechanical engineering by dynamically adapting feedback modalities to individual learning contexts and performance. The system integrates cognitive diagnosis models to assess student proficiency and an environment-aware modality selector to determine the optimal feedback form, such as visual annotations, haptic cues, or interactive 3D simulations, depending on whether the learning occurs in physical laboratories or digital platforms. A Transformer-based architecture synthesizes personalized feedback by combining diagnostic outputs with contextual data, enabling precision-tailored support for complex engineering concepts. The proposed method replaces conventional static assessment reports with adaptive, multimodal feedback, thereby addressing the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches in OBE. Furthermore, the system leverages state-of-the-art technologies, including probabilistic programming for scalable cognitive diagnosis and physics-accurate simulations for immersive learning experiences. Experimental validation demonstrates its effectiveness in improving student engagement and mastery of mechanical engineering principles. This work contributes a unified framework that bridges cognitive assessment, environmental context, and multimodal feedback, offering a scalable solution for personalized engineering education. The results highlight the potential of adaptive feedback systems to transform traditional OBE practices by aligning instructional support with individual learning trajectories and real-world engineering scenarios

    Mathematical Modeling of Fine Superstring Structure of Hydrogen Atoms

    Get PDF
    To address the phenomenon of electron clouds in hydrogen atoms and other extra-nuclear electron clouds, a high-dimensional confinement and asymptotic freedom theory of electron pairs is proposed. Furthermore, to resolve the non-contradictory interaction between electrons and protons, a string reaction theory is introduced. The model presented explains not only why electrons do not combine with protons to lose their electron cloud motion properties but also why multiple extra-nuclear electrons do not undergo classical collisions. Additionally, it provides an explanation for the string reaction nature of the photoelectric effect. The model presented herein is supported by previous laboratory results. The paper presents a model of string reaction between electrons and protons, which explains the trajectory of electrons in hydrogen atoms and why electrons can continuously orbit around protons. This innovative model describes that, under certain constraints, electrons can traverse through protons. After traversal, the electrons retain their original physical properties but undergo slight changes in velocity, while the physical properties of the protons remain unchanged. This model explains using string theory, transforming the purely mathematical nature of string theory into an interpretation of the physical phenomena. This demonstrates that string theory is a practical tool that can be applied to physics

    Since the mentioning of cultural cognitive linguistics, there is a shift of cognitive linguistics. However, previous studies have primarily focused on simple feature analysis of the Scholars, failing to either uncover the internal dynamic mechanism of how Wu trying to unveil satire topic through males’ garment. To address this gap, this study adopts Wen Xu’s partial concepts about cultural cognitive linguistics by establishing effective framework to find how Wu construct social identity, shape character’s fate, and reflect the rigid Confucian social hierarchy of mid-18th century China. The study intends to address the following three questions: (1) What cultural metaphors, metonymies, framings are embedded in the male garment descriptions in the first thirty chapters of The Scholars, and how do they project the hidden social hierarchies and ideologies of the Ming and Qing dynasties? (2) How does the framework collectively and dynamically contribute to our understanding of the interplay between language, culture, and cognition? (3) What is the cognitive function of male garment descriptions in the first thirty chapters of The Scholars in terms of activating cultural frames and reflecting the socio-cultural context of Wu’s time? Using AntConc for content collection and extraction, the study analyzes the first 30 chapters of this classic book. The findings reveal that cultural metaphorization, cultural metononymization, and cultural framing are effective in analyzing Chinese tradition classics. Interestingly, this paper also finds the internal operation logic among them. Cultural framing, no matter matched or mismatched one, can trigger or map the happenings of cultural metaphorization or cultural metononymization, or both, which is dependent on the specific context and garment descriptions. It also provides practical insights for future classic study
