IMPROVING THE REGULATIVE ENVIRONMENT TO FACILITATE THE EXPLOITATION OF INFORMATION RESOURCES IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
A supportive regulatory environment is necessary to facilitate the development and utilisation of information resources in China. The legal system and its enabling policies for information resources should focus on removing all the macro-level obstacles in order to promote and ensure the positive feedback effect of information cycles. This would include constructing a competitive market, enhancing infrastructure, strengthening taxation and financing the supporting system. The core interest in information exploitation is intellectual property (IP). There are five levels of IP protection: judicial trial, administrative execution, technological measures, collective management and industry discipline as well as private control. While strengthening IP protection ranks as the Government’s priority policy, the free distribution and sharing of information should be strongly advocated to optimise the development and utilisation of information resources. Digital information is playing a more significant role in our society than physical goods in regard to quantity and effects. Digital information is changing the whole world, with for instance, E-government, Ecommerce and E-life. Information resources have become an important asset and key driver for social development. The ‘Developmental Strategy for Informatisation in China 2006-2020’ issued by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council declares that informatisation is a key strategy for maintaining national competitiveness and sustainability. 1 The key of informatisation is the development and utilization of information resources. While this is rather weak in China, enhancing the development and utilisation of information resources has been ranked as a priority government task because of the value in constructing a flexible and enabling regulatory framework
Reply to comment on `Scrutinizing scattering in light of recent lattice phase shifts'
We reply to the comment [arxiv:2202.08809] by E. van Beveren and G. Rupp on
our recent work [arxiv:2202.03124], by further clarifying the reason why bound-
and virtual-state poles for the are necessary in our work in
describing the lattice phase shifts at =391MeV.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure
Probing nuclear symmetry energy at high densities using pion, kaon, eta and photon productions in heavy-ion collisions
The high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy is among the most
uncertain properties of dense neutron-rich matter. Its accurate determination
has significant ramifications in understanding not only the reaction dynamics
of heavy-ion reactions especially those induced by radioactive beams but also
many interesting phenomena in astrophysics, such as the explosion mechanism of
supernova and the properties of neutron stars. The heavy-ion physics community
has devoted much effort during the last few years to constrain the high-density
symmetry using various probes. In particular, the pion-/pion+ ratio has been
most extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally. All models have
consistently predicted qualitatively that the pion-/pion+ ratio is a sensitive
probe of the high-density symmetry energy especially with beam energies near
the pion production threshold. However, the predicted values of the pion-/pion+
ratio are still quite model dependent mostly because of the complexity of
modeling pion production and reabsorption dynamics in heavy-ion collisions,
leading to currently still controversial conclusions regarding the high-density
behavior of nuclear symmetry energy from comparing various model calculations
with available experimental data. As more pion-/pion+ data become available and
a deeper understanding about the pion dynamics in heavy-ion reactions is
obtained, more penetrating probes, such as the kaon+/kaon0 ratio, eta meson and
high energy photons are also being investigated or planned at several
facilities. Here, we review some of our recent contributions to the community
effort of constraining the high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy in
heavy-ion collisions. In addition, the status of some worldwide experiments for
studying the high-density symmetry energy, including the HIRFL-CSR external
target experiment (CEE) are briefly introduced.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, Contribution to the Topical Issue on Nuclear

Ferroptosis Holds Novel Promise in Treatment of Cancer Mediated by Non-coding RNAs
Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of regulated cell death that is associated with iron metabolism and oxidative stress. As a physiological mechanism, ferroptosis selectively removes cancer cells by regulating the expression of vital chemical molecules. Current findings on regulation of ferroptosis have largely focused on the function of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially microRNAs (miRNAs), in mediating ferroptotic cell death, while the sponging effect of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has not been widely studied. In this review, we discuss the molecular regulation of ferroptosis and highlight the value of circRNAs in controlling ferroptosis and carcinogenesis. Herein, we deliberate future role of this emerging form of regulated cell death in cancer therapeutics and predict the progression and prognosis of oncogenesis in future clinical therapy.publishedVersio
