On the Subject Complement and its Basic Types in Chinese
Chinese subject complement has a very long history of existence since the West Han Dynasty But as a grammatical term in Chinese it is an unknown or unfamiliar concept In fact it always appears at the lower level of the predicate component and forms the subject-predicate relationship with the subject as a logical category of stating and being stated For example the sentence can be converted to The winner is the subject It goes without saying that the component of the original sentence is a subject complement Because it is at the lower level of the predicate and its logical relationship is directed to the sentence subject Compared to the components of subject complement such as in this sentence same as it s very different that its logical relationship just points to the which is used as a predicate verb Therefore the sentence cannot be converted in the above-mentioned manner otherwise It is funny or really confusing for in the sentence that means the end of life or the entry into a critical situatio
Research on the Impact of Wind Angles on the Residential Building Energy Consumption
Wind angles affect building’s natural ventilation and also energy consumption of the building. In winter, the wind direction in the outdoor environment will affect heat loss of the building, while in summer the change of wind direction and speed in the outdoor environment will affect the building’s ventilation and indoor air circulation. So, making a good deal with the issue of the angle between local buildings and the dominant wind direction can effectively solve the winter and summer ventilation problems. Thereby, it can enhance the comfort of residential person, improve indoor air quality, solve heat gain and heat loss problems in winter and summer in the severely cold and cold regions, and reduce building energy consumption. The simulation software CFD and energy simulation software are used in the paper. South direction of the building is the prototype of the simulation. The angle between the direction of the building and the outdoor environment wind is changed sequentially. Energy consumption under different wind angle conditions is compared with each other. Combined with natural ventilation under various wind angles, the paper gives the best recommended solution of building direction in Shenyang
外国語教育における文化元素の導入について : 初級レベルの中国語学習者を中心に
本稿では、初級レベルの中国語学習者を中心に、外国語教育における文化元素の導入について論じる。従来、言葉は孤立しているものではなく、それは所属されている民族文化の土壌に根を下ろしていると指摘されている。本稿では、第二言語習得としての中国語教育に文化元素を応用することにより、学習者の異文化コミュニケーション能力養成を論じる。This paper discusses the introduction of cultural factors in foreign language teaching, taking the primary-level Chinese learners as the main study subject. It has been argued for a long time that the language isn’t isolated and is rooted in its ethnic culture. This paper focuses on how to apply cultural factors to the teaching of Chinese as a second language, and aims to improve intercultural communication competence of students
Synthesis of a Flexible Freestanding Sulfur/Polyacrylonitrile/Graphene Oxide as the Cathode for Lithium/Sulfur Batteries
Rechargeable lithium/sulfur (Li/S) batteries have received quite significant attention over
the years because of their high theoretical specific capacity (1672 mAh g1) and energy density
(2600 mAh g1) which has led to more efforts for improvement in their electrochemical performance.
Herein, the synthesis of a flexible freestanding sulfur/polyacrylonitrile/graphene oxide (S/PAN/GO)
as the cathode for Li/S batteries by simple method via vacuum filtration is reported. The S/PAN/GO
hybrid binder-free electrode is considered as one of the most promising cathodes for Li/S batteries.
Graphene oxide (GO) slice structure provides effective ion conductivity channels and increases
structural stability of the ternary system, resulting in excellent electrochemical properties of the
freestanding S/PAN/GO cathode. Additionally, graphene oxide (GO) membrane was able to
minimize the polysulfides’ dissolution and their shuttle, which was attributed to the electrostatic
interactions between the negatively-charged species and the oxygen functional groups on GO.
Furthermore, these oxygen-containing functional groups including carboxyl, epoxide and hydroxyl
groups provide active sites for coordination with inorganic materials (such as sulfur). It exhibits the
initial reversible specific capacity of 1379 mAh g1 at a constant current rate of 0.2 C and maintains
1205 mAh g1 over 100 cycles (~87% retention). In addition, the freestanding S/PAN/GO cathode
displays excellent coulombic efficiency (~100%) and rate capability, delivering up to 685 mAh g1
capacity at 2
Establishing reference intervals of coagulation indices based on the ACL Top 700 system for children in Southwestern Fujian, China
Abstract(#br)Background(#br)Till date, China has not issued industry standards for reference intervals (RIs) of pediatric blood coagulation indices. Here, we evaluated changes in the coagulation indices in the venous blood of healthy children aged 29 days to 12 years derived using the ACL Top 700 system and established appropriate RIs.(#br)Methods(#br)We analyzed venous blood from 1770 healthy children for five coagulation indices. RIs were established according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute C28-A3c guideline.(#br)Results(#br)The coagulation indices were grouped by age. For prothrombin time (PT) and international normalization ratio (INR), the RIs of infants and toddlers were identical; preschool children had the same RI as school-age children. Pediatric RIs for PT and INR were slightly lower than those for adults. The RIs of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen (FIB) in childhood were divided into two groups by age (1 month to 1 year and 1–12 years). The RI of APTT in infants was the widest; the overall level of FIB in infants was the lowest; children’s APTT and FIB RIs were lower than those of adults. The pattern of TT values and RI trends in childhood were similar to those of APTT.(#br)Conclusions(#br)There were minor changes in the RIs of coagulation indices for children. The RIs of PT, INR, APTT, TT, and FIB must be grouped by age. The RIs of coagulation indices for children were different from those for adults; therefore, establishing separate RIs for children is necessary

Identification and expression analysis of two Wnt4 genes in the spotted scat ( Scatophagus argus )
Background: WNT4 is a protein that plays a crucial role in ovarian
differentiation and development in mammals, with a relatively well
understood function in mammalian gonadal differentiation. The role of
Wnt4 in teleost fish; however, remains unclear. In the present study,
cDNAs of Wnt4a and Wnt4b were cloned and characterized in the spotted
scat. The expression patterns of two Wnt4 genes in the gonads at
different stages of development and in fish after treatment with
17\u3b1-methyltestosterone (MT) were investigated. Results: The tissue
distribution showed that Wnt4a was expressed in various tissues,
including the gonads, gills, spleen, brain, and fin. Interestingly,
Wnt4b not only was expressed in the gills, brain, and spleen, but also
was obviously expressed in the ovary. During gonad development, Wnt4a
was highly expressed in the testis at stage I and Wnt4b was mainly
expressed in the ovary at stages II\u2013III. After MT treatment, the
mRNA expression of Wnt4a increased significantly up to 40 d, and the
transcript level of Wnt4b decreased at 20 d. Conclusions: These results
suggest that Wnt4a may be involved in gonad development and plays a
role in the process of spermatogonial proliferation. Our results also
demonstrate that Wnt4b is not only expressed in the nervous system, but
also in the ovary and it may be involved in ovary development of the
spotted scat
Correlative study on retinal microvascular changes and sex hormones in male patients with central serous chorioretinopathy
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a
disease in which the outer retinal barrier is damaged with high incidence in
young adult males. We aimed to analyze the correlations between retinal
microvascular changes and sex hormone levels. The vascular density of the
superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP), deep retinal capillary plexus (DCP),
foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, choriocapillary blood flow area, and the
subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) were investigated by optical coherence
tomography angiography (OCTA). We also determined the levels of sex hormones
(adrenaline (AD), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), corticosteroids (Cor),
aldosterone (ALD), estradiol (E2) and total testosterone (TT)). The relationship
between sex hormone levels and OCTA parameters was then determined. We detected
significantly higher levels of NE, Cor and TT in serum from the observation group
than in the control group (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were
identified between SCT and choriocapillary blood flow area in the affected eyes,
contralateral eyes and healthy eyes in the control group (p < 0.05).
SCT levels of both eyes in the observation group were higher and the
choriocapillary blood flow area was smaller than in the control group. The SCT in
affected eyes from the observation group were higher than the contralateral eyes
(p < 0.05). The choriocapillary blood flow area was significantly
smaller than in the contralateral eyes (p < 0.05). Correlation
analysis unveiled that NE, Cor and TT levels were positively correlated with SCT
in CSC patients and negatively correlated with choriocapillary blood flow area
(p < 0.05). The serum levels of sex hormone levels in male CSC
patients were different from those in healthy men of the same age. Our findings
suggest that the serum levels of NE, Cor and TT levels may influence the
pathogenesis of CSC by affecting SCT thickness and choriocapillary blood flow
