On the Approaches to Cultivate Translation Ability of Ceramic English Translation Talents
The cultivation of practical translation ability of ceramic English translation talents is an important way to explore the cultivation of English-Chinese translation talents in the field of ceramics. Through the comprehensive use of literature review method and case analysis method, this paper explores the cultivation of practical ability of ceramic English translation talents from multiple directions and angles: reforming the curriculum system, constructing the training model of school-enterprise cooperation, strengthening the role of translation workshops and promoting learning through entering competition
Rational Expectation and Education Rewarding: The Case of Chinese Off-Farm Wage Employment
This study establishes a life-cycle model that a representative agent chooses optimal time of education to maximize his/her life earning, which implies that there may exist nonlinear relation between education and earning. Using the data of Chinese off-farm wage employment, we find that the duration of schooling years will increase by 1.7 years with 1 percent increase in rate of return to education. The empirical results also indicate that controversies about return to education might arise from model misspecification without consideration of nonlinearity and sample selection.return to schooling, life-cycle model, rational expectation, China, Labor and Human Capital, I20, J43, Q01,
Spatio-Temporal Tuples Transformer for Skeleton-Based Action Recognition
Capturing the dependencies between joints is critical in skeleton-based
action recognition task. Transformer shows great potential to model the
correlation of important joints. However, the existing Transformer-based
methods cannot capture the correlation of different joints between frames,
which the correlation is very useful since different body parts (such as the
arms and legs in "long jump") between adjacent frames move together. Focus on
this problem, A novel spatio-temporal tuples Transformer (STTFormer) method is
proposed. The skeleton sequence is divided into several parts, and several
consecutive frames contained in each part are encoded. And then a
spatio-temporal tuples self-attention module is proposed to capture the
relationship of different joints in consecutive frames. In addition, a feature
aggregation module is introduced between non-adjacent frames to enhance the
ability to distinguish similar actions. Compared with the state-of-the-art
methods, our method achieves better performance on two large-scale datasets.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
Characterization of blaOxA-23 gene regions in isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii
Background/purposeTo investigate the characterization of blaOxA-23 gene regions in isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from Taizhou Municipal Hospital.MethodsFifty-nine non-repetitive, multiresistant (including imipenem-resistant) isolates of A. baumannii were recovered from clinical infections in hospitalized patients from January 2010 to August 2011 in Taizhou Municipal Hospital (affiliated with Taizhou University) in China. These isolates were genotyped using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). blaOxA-23 β-lactamase and associated genetic structures were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and recombination plasmids were analyzed by BamHI- or SacI- restriction enzyme digestion; predicted promoter structures of blaOxA-23 genes were determined and compared using protein-protein BLAST analysis.ResultsFifteen out of 59 isolates expressing imipenem-resistant A. baumannii clinical isolates acquired either a blaOxA-23 β-lactamase gene. A new gene cluster (ISAba1-blaOxA-23-AMP) with three previously identified transposons (Tn2006, Tn2007, and Tn2008) and one previously identified gene cluster (ISAba1- blaOxA-23) was found in the isolates. Recombination plasmids were analyzed by restriction enzyme digestion.ConclusionOur results indicate that pattern A was the most prevalent molecular type based on PFGE, and that different clones might be widespread with a majority of ISAba1-blaOxA-23 clonal lineages in the 15 PCR positive isolates of A. baumannii in the hospital
Paleoenvironment and chemostratigraphy heterogenity of the Cretaceous organic-rich shales
The Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao Basin is rich in shale oil resources, which has become one of the most important exploration targets of lacustrine shale oil in China. Based on X-ray fluorescence element analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, total organic carbon, rock pyrolysis, scanning electron microscope and nitrogen adsorption, the Paleoenvironment was reconstructed by comprehensive utilization of integrated prediction error filter analysis of chemical stratigraphy, and its relationship with organic geochemistry, mineralogy and pore structure was discussed. The results indicated that the Qingshankou Formation was deposited in the environment with fresh water-brackish water, semi-deep/deep water and strong reduction. The evolution of Paleoenvironment during the deposition of Qingshankou Formation changed from bottom to top, with increasing water depth, decreasing salinity and oxygen content. Paleosalinity was positively correlated with total organic carbon, residual hydrocarbon and carbonate mineral content. From bottom to top, the contents of carbonate and chlorite decreased, while the contents of plagioclase and clay minerals increased slightly. The pores were dominated by intra-illite pores, intra-I/S mixed-layer pores and intra-pyrite pores. Some intra-plagioclase pores and calcite dissolution pores were developed, and the organic matter pores are slightly few. Nitrogen adsorption data showed that the dominate pore size was 40-53 nm. This study clarifies the Paleoenvironmental evolution of the Qingshankou Formation, and may shed lights on lacustrine shale oil accumulation and sweet-spotting.Cited as: Guan, M., Wu, S., Hou, L., Jiang, X., Ba, D., Hua, G.
