How the Changes in Exchange Rate Affect the Chinese Economic Growth?
This paper examines how the exchange rate affects Chinese economic growth. First, we go through the literature about exchange rate and how it affects the economic growth. We respectively analyze the transmission mechanism of RMB real effective exchange rate on the impact of Chinese import, export and foreign direct investment. We use the quarterly data from 1994 to 2016 and the method of cointegration test, Granger Causality test. From the test we found that the appreciation of RMB has a negative effect on Chinese economic growth. Further more, the correlation between total export and real effective exchange rate is negative. Meanwhile, the correlation between total import and real effective exchange rate is negative. For FDI, we found that the appreciation of RMB will decrease FDI
Structured Assessment on Learning Progress
This paper presented a novel technique and practice of the assessment of learning progress of university students in an engineering discipline. Instead of measuring the effectiveness of accumulation of specific knowledge, the newly developed assessment technique evaluates the development of the intelligence of the students. The key components of the proposed technique are a performance-based method for the estimation of the intelligence level and a cognitive mental faculty-oriented decomposition method to determine the intelligence contribution factors for learning subjects and exam questions. The proposed technique was applied to assess the learning progress of a group of university students in the field of automation, and the results from test agreed with the expectation well

Regulation of the activity of a budding yeast DNA damage repair enzyme Sae2
In response to DNA damage, many repair and signaling molecules mobilize rapidly to the sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). This network of immediate responses is regulated at the level of post-translational modifications to coordinate DNA repair and checkpoint signaling. Here we investigate the DNA damage-induced oligomeric transitions of the Sae2 protein, an important enzyme in the initiation of DSB repair. Sae2 is a target of multiple phosphorylation events, which we identify and characterize in vivo in budding yeast. Both cell cycle-dependent and DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of Sae2 are important for the cell survival after DNA damage, and the cell cycle-regulated modifications are required to prime the damage-dependent events. We find that Sae2 exists in the form of inactive oligomers that are transiently released into smaller active units by these series of phosphorylation events. DNA damage also triggers removal of Sae2 through autophagy and proteasomal degradation, ensuring that active Sae2 is present only transiently in cells. This analysis provides evidence for a novel type of protein regulation where the activity of an enzyme is controlled dynamically by post-translational modifications that regulate its solubility and oligomeric state. Budding yeast Ess1 is a phosphorylation-specific prolyl isomerase. Its human homolog Pin1 is found to isomerize CtIP, the human functional ortholog of Sae2, and promote the proteasomal degradation of CtIP. However, I could neither detect any interaction between Ess1 and Sae2, nor observe any change in Sae2 protein level while overexpressing wild-type or mutant Ess1, suggesting Ess1 does not act on Sae2, like Pin1 does on CtIP. The increased DNA damage sensitivity of Ess1 mutants indicates that Ess1 is involved in DNA repair, but not related to Sae2. Since Ess1 plays an important role in transcription termination together with a RNA 3’ end processing factor Pcf11, I overexpressed wild-type Pcf11 and found it significantly increased the DNA damage resistance of either wild-type or H164R mutant Ess1 cells, and also the sae2Δ cells. These results imply that Ess1, Pcf11 and Sae2 might contribute to DNA damage repair through transcription termination, which links transcription termination and DNA damage repair together.Microbiolog
Automatic Recognition of Knowledge Characteristics of Scientific and Technological Literature from the Perspective of Text Structure
This paper independently explores the chapter structure of scientific and technological literature in the field of shipbuilding in the natural sciences and the field of library and information in the social sciences. The chapter structure model of previous studies, namely \u27background, purpose, method, result, conclusion, demonstration,\u27 is quoted as the verification object of the document chapter structure in the field of exploration. In order to verify the rationality of the structure, this paper uses the deep learning models TextCNN, DPCNN, TextRCNN, and BiLSTM-Attention as experimental tools, and designs 5-fold cross-validation experiment and normal experiment, and finally verifies the rationality of the model structure, and It is concluded that the BiLSTM-Attention model can better identify the chapter structure in this field
Twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes of the scalar mesons within the QCD sum rules and their application to the transition form factors
We investigate the twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of the
scalar mesons , and within the QCD sum rules. The QCD
sum rules are improved by a consistent treatment of the sizable -quark mass
effects within the framework of the background field approach. Adopting the
valence quark component as the dominant structure of the
scalar mesons, our estimation for their masses are close to the measured
, and . From the sum rules, we obtain
the first two non-zero moments of the twist-3 LCDAs :
and ; those of the twist-3 LCDAs
: and ; and those of the twist-3 LCDAs :
and , respectively. As an
application of those twist-3 LCDAs, we study the transition form
factors by introducing proper chiral currents into the correlator, which is
constructed such that the twist-3 LCDAs give dominant contribution and the
twist-2 LCDAs make negligible contribution. Our results of the
transition form factors at the large recoil region are
consistent with those obtained in the literature, which inversely shows the
present twist-3 LCDAs are acceptable.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, 7 table

A Tabu Search algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with discrete split deliveries and pickups
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Discrete Split Deliveries and Pickups is a variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem with Split Deliveries and Pickups, in which customers’ demands are discrete in terms of batches (or orders). It exists in the practice of logistics distribution and consists of designing a least cost set of routes to serve a given set of customers while respecting constraints on the vehicles’ capacities. In this paper, its features are analyzed. A mathematical model and Tabu Search algorithm with specially designed batch combination and item creation operation are proposed. The batch combination operation is designed to avoid unnecessary travel costs, while the item creation operation effectively speeds up the search and enhances the algorithmic search ability. Computational results are provided and compared with other methods in the literature, which indicate that in most cases the proposed algorithm can find better solutions than those in the literature
An amperometric glucose biosensor based on a MnO2/graphene composite modified electrode
In this paper, a novel composite of graphene/MnO2 (GR/MnO2) was successfully synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The as-synthesized MnO2 and the composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that MnO2 was nanorods and the two materials were perfectly composited. The composite was decorated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and used for the entrapment of glucose oxidase (GOD). Electrochemical results showed that the
composite modified electrode showed a pair of well-defined redox peaks, and the direct electron transfer between GOD and the electrode surface was accelerated. The sensor fabricated by the composite modified electrode showed an excellent response to the oxidation of glucose with a wide
linear range (0.04 to 2 mM), low detection limit (10 mM), and high sensitivity (3.3 mA mM-1 cm-2). The sensor also exhibited excellent reproducibility, stability and selectivity, and it can be used in the determination of glucose in real samples
