The ship usually has disturbances [11]. However, the method and design [2] underactuated characteristics and nonholonomic process are very complicated. Do[12] presents a [3] constraints on the acceleration is non-integrable ,the constructive design of new controllers which based on a system is not transformable into an equivalent system global exponential disturbance observer that force [4] without drifts . Recently, the significant research has underactuated ships under constant or slow time-varying [1-11] paid much attention to this field . sea loads to asymptotically track a parameterized Trajectory tracking cannot be regulated to zero by reference path. YU[13] proposed a new control law is coordinate transformation for the sake of rudder angle similarly developed by introducing a first-order sliding under drift caused by wind and current, and it must be surface in terms of surge tracking errors and a compensated by a loxodrome (or sideslip compensation) second-order surface in terms of lateral motion tracking since no sway control means are available. So, the errors which guarantee the convergence of position equilibrium point of the system is not at the origin of tracking errors. Most of the control methods above are transformed coordinates. Moreover, the only measurable depend on the accurate system model. state variables are the ship’s position and heading in In this paper, considering the constraint conditions, [5] Earth fixed coordinates. Encarnacao proposed a control external disturbances and uncertainties of ship motion method for estimation speed of stationary current based control system, a robust nonlinear feedback decoupling on feedback linearization and backstepping method as control algorithm was proposed to control the vessel [6] well as Aicardi proposed the similar estimation. reach and follow a reference trajectory.

Abstract—An effective unconditionally stable Crank–Nicolson (CN) FDTD [4], split-step FDTD [5] implementation of the current density convolution Crank– and locally one-dimensional (LOD) FDTD [6] have been Nicolson finite-difference time-domain (JEC-CN-FDTD) introduced. method for anisotropic magnetized plasma is proposed. The Recently, the current density convolution CN–FDTD JEC-CN-FDTD method for isotropic dispersive media (JEC-CN-FDTD) method has been successfully applied greatly improves efficiency and retains its accuracy. This paper extends this approach to anisotropic magnetized to one-dimensional (1-D) unmagnetized plasma medium plasma. This method not only solves the problem that based on incomplete Cholesky conjugate gradient (ICCG) incorporates both anisotropy and frequency dispersion at method [7]. In this paper, the JEC-CN-FDTD method is the same time, but also eliminates the Courant–Friedrich– extended to simulation 1-D anisotropic magnetized Levy (CFL) stability constraint. A numerical example has plasma without using ICCG method. A main advantage been carried out to validate the proposed formulations in over the method in [7] is that the CN equations are solved, one dimension of electromagnetic wave through anisotropic as naturally expected, by two tridiagonal algorithms, magnetized plasma slab. The results prove that the requiring neither preconditioners, nor iterative solvers, to proposed formulations significantly save time and perform deal with the implicit equations. And the proposed stably with acceptable accuracy. difference iterative formulations of anisotropic Index Terms—Crank–Nicolson difference scheme (CN), magnetized plasma eliminate the CFL stability constraint current density convolution (JEC), finite-difference time- based on the CN method. Therefore, the selection of time domain (FDTD), magnetized plasma step is not limited by the CFL stability condition. Under the sufficient accuracy of the calculation, the number of the simulation steps can be reduced with increasing the I. INTRODUCTION time step, which can lead to the substantially decline of the computing time. The high accuracy and efficiency of The finite-different time-domain (FDTD) method is the proposed JEC-CN-FDTD algorithm are confirmed by one of the most popular methods for the solution of computing reflection and transmission of a magnetized problems in analysis and design of electromagnetic plasma slab. Comparing the JEC-CN-FDTD method with propagation, microwave structures, and many other the conventional JEC-FDTD method [8] and analytical engineering applications. Over the past years, the FDTD solutions, the results show that the proposed formulations method has been widely used to simulate dispersive can reduce most of computing time, perform stably and media including the anisotropic magnetized plasma facilitate computer programming, but retain its accuracy. media [1]. However, the conventional FDTD method is conditionally stable, namely, the time step is restricted by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) stability condition II. FORMULATIONS [2]. When a small spatial step is required for fine In anisotropic magnetized plasma medium with geometrical details, the time step has to be small so that collisions, supposing that the external static magnetic the simulation time is too long to be accepted. To field is parallel to the z axis, the Maxwell’s component overcome the CFL stability limit of the FDTD method, equations are written as: some unconditionally stable FDTD algorithms including the alternating-direction-implicit (ADI) FDTD [3],

In response to the trend vocational education. A strong support would be offered to the construction of a number of the prestigious of information age, the "application-orientated" teaching vocational colleges and application-oriented idea has been widely embraced by the undergraduate undergraduate colleges and universities with significant institutions and traditional publishing industry that are influence and competitiveness. As to the national long- embarking on a transformation road. Publishers and term development, more efforts are expected to be made universities have always been mutually reinforced. This on cultivating the application-oriented and compound is not only because publishers as the textbook suppliers talents.

The following will be elaborated in three aspects: At present, some undergraduate colleges are on the Supply of teaching materials, price of teaching materials way to transformation into the so-called application- and quality of teaching materials. orientated institutions. As the name suggests, on the basis (1) Supply of teaching materials of the original theoretical knowledge, more attention are Currently, the way of consuming the college paid to practical training items. And the original teaching materials has changed a lot. The most common published textbooks may be criticized due to some change: In the past, a student had to pay a few hundred problems like the theoretical knowledge too sophisticated, yuan, buying teaching materials from the department of less practical, and no longer to keep the pace with the teaching materials; the publisher would send the books to undergraduate colleges orientated at application. As to the school, where this department was responsible for distribution. And now students are permitted to buy the publishing industry, adapting to the development of books on their own, and the school is no longer in the the times means a sharp demand to actively publish the position to charge the fees on teaching materials. For corresponding series of teaching materials. Ultimately, students, there are a variety of ways available to obtain teaching materials. More and more of them choose to

Nonetheless, there are still a considerable proportion of students who need the excellent teaching III. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS materials used in the past years and reprinted by the With the advent of the information age, China's publishers. As publishers, in consideration of their economic take-off is proven to have failed to realize a economic benefits, the publication of reprinted textbooks usually counts on sales in previous years to estimate the timely transition.

More often, all these macro environment, the enterprises are confronting various problems, so is the publishing industry. factors combined result in the hoarding of some high- Traditional publishing industry in such a scenario is quality, excellent materials or even the reprinting request desperately needed to actively complete such a transition to be refused. This is bound to bring some negative impact. Basically, the refusal of the press makes it in order to keep up with the pace of the times. difficult for teachers to pick the right materials, but rather Specifically, all possible aspects with problems should be covered before a real satisfied solution could be obtained. to barely make do, indirectly affecting the quality of Here, a detailed analysis is given from three aspects: the teaching. Also, chances are that this year's demand for profit, the growth rate of practitioners and industry teaching materials may be greater than the actual amount prospects. of printing. An extra printing may be scheduled, but the teachers could be helpless in timely preparing lessons in advance, and harmful to the teaching process. 3.1 ASPECTS WITH PROBLEMS (2) Price of teaching materials (1) Macroeconomic factors forcing profit to fall In the past, teaching materials in colleges and Affected by the domestic macroeconomic factors, universities were supplied in the following way: Agency there has been a rapid increase in the cost of enterprises, station of college books delivers the books to the including rent, personnel, logistics and other related costs. department in charge of teaching materials, where This aspect has become an important reason for the settlement is done.

But things change at the Internet age, where discount, which is also responsible for the decline in online shopping has become the primary choice for profits. Especially in the group buy, college textbooks, college students. In a striking contrast, the traditional bookstores are simply not profitable as ever. The publishing industry is facing a lot of troubles in pursuit suppression of the online shops also forces publishers of profits simply through the distribution of textbooks. and bookstores to give up substantial profits to maintain As a result, the quality of printing and college discounts a market share. Unfortunately, such helpless measures will be inevitably shrinking in order to take care of their only misled outsiders to believe that distribution is a own interests. No matter what the impact might be, profiteering industry, making publishers more cautious in that’d be a burden unaffordable to students. pricing. So lack in an improved pricing space, publications have no way to achieve sales without giving (3) Quality of teaching materials up enough benefits, the publishing industry has been The teaching materials for the application- forced into a very embarrassing situation. orientated purposes shall be prepared within the frame of (2) A slow growth rate of employment the subject knowledge theory in an aim to cultivate the ability of the students to solve the practical problems. In the past two years, the number of employment in the Teaching materials of this kind are expected to take care distribution industry has been growing slowly, only by of both the theoretical knowledge of subjects and the 0.1%. This figure produced an image far from being application aspects. This would inevitably increase the optimistic. The slow growth in employment is directly difficulties in the selection of textbooks to promote the associated with the declining industry profits. In addition development of colleges and universities. And this task to the industry crisis, enterprises tend to reduce their mainly falls on the shoulders of university textbook investments in the industry projects, even turning back publishing houses. The publishing houses also put from the industry or posts. Despite that the weak growth forward higher requirements for the discipline ability of in employment does not indicate the trend of traditional the book editorial talents. Driven by the different distribution industry, an industry that cannot fully absorb operating ideas and their interests, colleges and the employment is probably not too much optimistic universities may seek to take full advantage of the about its future vision. features of their own, which are able to satisfy the needs (3) The prospect of publishing industry in a twilight zone of the publishing industry and conducive to the Business costs are soaring, including the rising employment of students. In fact, these two aspects are expenditure on labor, freight, rent, water and electricity, not contradictory. At the ever changing times, the and the tax burden is not yet reduced. At present, many progress of the publishing industry comes along with the bookstores only have their net profits maintained at 1% diversity of the needs of the editorial talents. This is not

Abstract—As the necessary material condition for economic Generally, the enterprises tend to invest more in the development, infrastructure plays an important role in country where the locomotive facilities are perfect and developing foreign direct investment activities. The location the facilities are complete. With the continuous choice of infrastructure decisions and investments. On the development of product technology, complete loss of basis of the theory of traditional foreign direct investment, product technical superiority, the main production areas this paper makes a theoretical analysis of its influence mechanism, and puts forward some suggestions on how to are concentrated in developing countries and less accelerate the construction of infrastructure to improve the developed countries and regions, the product competition foreign investment activities. strategy is based on price war. The enterprise reduces the transaction cost by investing in the market with the Index terms—Infrastructure, Life Cycle Theory, perfect infrastructure, maintain their competitive Internalization Theory, FDI. advantage.

B. Internalization theory I. THE THEORY OF TRADITIONAL FOREIGN The internalization theory is the theoretical result DIRECT INVESTMENT of western scholars to explain the motives of foreign direct investment, the theory holds that the market is not A. Product life cycle theory fully competitive, in order to optimize the allocation of Product life cycle theory is a new product from the internal resources, the negative effects of market friction beginning to enter the market through the development, on the production and management performance, growth, maturity, decline stage of the whole life process, improve production efficiency, to overcome the Due to the differences in the technical level of the world, shortcomings of the external market to reduce transaction the international competitiveness of each country is costs, maximize profit. According to the traditional different, Thus determines the change of foreign direct theory of internalization, the main factors that determine investment . Specifically, in the phase of new product the internalization of the market are industry specific development, the first phase of the product life cycle. factors, regional factors, country specific factors and Due to the small market penetration of new products, enterprise specific factors, among them, the country market demand is narrow. Therefore, the demand for specific factors include the "soft environment" and "hard products generally have the domestic market to digest. As environment", soft environment, including the host the technology matures, Domestic market demand for country policy, the degree of law and market openness; products continues to expand, demand is very elastic. As an important factor affecting foreign direct investment, That is to say, lower prices will bring about a substantial the hard environment refers to the degree of improvement increase in total revenue. At this point, the key to of infrastructure. The internalization theory can explain improve the competitiveness of enterprises is to reduce the motivation of multinational companies to engage in market transaction costs. At the same time, along with the foreign direct investment from the perspective of continuous spread of product technology, companies enterprise heterogeneity. continue to outsource production and invest in developing countries or regions where the market II.

Based on breakthrough in the application of Internet of Things (IoT) , the basic theory of positioning technology in MANET and has become the focal point of research. Among them, and WSNs, this paper compares the range free algorithm the localization of vehicles are key technologies of the IoV. suitable for IoV. Combined with the research status and This paper focused on range-free nodes location technologies of IoV, and the algorithm and applications in development trend of IoV, the application of each IoV have been discussed. Finally, the localization theories algorithm is given a reference. and algorithms appropriate to IoV are comparatively analyzed,and the research direction of positioning II. THE NODE LOCATION TECHNOLOGY PERFORMANCE technologies of IoV are put forward.. EVALUATION STANDARD

Index Terms—Internet of Vehicles, Localization Method, In the wireless sensor network (WSN) positioning Range-free technology, different localization algorithm has different influence on positioning results, usually has the following several indicators to measure [2]: I. INTRODUCTION Positional Accuracy: position precision is refers to the spatial location information (usually the coordinates) Internet of Vehicles( IoV), the vehicle nodes and proximity between its true location, it is a leading exchange data must be associated with the position, indicator of measuring sensor network localization, only therefore, must take certain mechanisms and algorithms reach a certain position precision of localization to achieve real-time positioning and location awareness algorithm is real and effective. between nodes on the vehicle node, and the establishment Effective Range of Orientation: positioning system can of close ties between the vehicle and the location of the locate Effective range. To satisfy most of the nodes in implementation, monitoring, vehicle tracking and WSN can be positioning, only covers a wide range of positioning, so as to realize the dynamic management and node location to be meaningful. control between the vehicles. Node Density: refers to the spread of sensor Node Mentioned vehicle positioning satellite positioning, we Density in terms of network nodes. In WSN node density first thought (such as GPS or Beidou). However, the had a great influence on the performance of the source application in vehicle navigation and object positioning, usually Node Density high positioning tracking, the positioning accuracy, response time and precision will be higher and higher, the opposite will controllability are unable to adapt to the application reduce Positional Accuracy. In view of the different requirements of vehicle networking. At present, a feasible localization algorithm in WSN node density is not way is to let the city side of the road traffic. RFID reader, required for the same, the performance of the sensor video camera and so on the road side unit (RSU) to obtain nodes and the price also determines the node of the accurate location information through satellite positioning, seeding density. as the anchor nodes in the network to provide location Density of Beacon Node: Density of Beacon Node information source, running on the road vehicles with the [1] refers to the Beacon nodes in the proportion in the WSN. help of RSU positioning . At present, there are mainly Beacon node has its own positioning function, the price is based on range-based technology and the use of range- more expensive, could not sow large area, its node free technology in two ways to achieve positioning. determines the positioning precision of the high and low IoV is a special mobile ad Hoc networks (MANET), a density. wireless sensor networks (WSNs) used in specific Fault Tolerance and Adaptability: refers to the so- environments, or a special purpose Internet of Things called fault-tolerance of the presence of Fault system will ( Internet of things, IoT). Therefore, the study of IoV, not fail, the characteristics of can still work normally. need to fully consider the network environment, node Fault Tolerance is Fault how should the Fault, to be exact

and not let Error. Adaptability can be thought of as a can B. Centroid. adjust itself according to environmental changes can Centroid[4,8] refers to the physical system is considered intelligent features of feedback control system, so that the to focus on the quality of an imaginary point. In sensor system can work in accordance with the standards of networks, the center of mass is to point to the center of some setting in the optimal state. the polygon, the polygons each vertex coordinates of the Security: Security is refers to the system to legitimate geometric average is the bar centric coordinates. Centroid users of response and to resist the illegal request, to algorithm is the University of Southern California's protect themselves from the external influence and the Nirupama Bulusu etc, the algorithm is suitable for ability to attack. WSN usually work in the area of the outdoor positioning under the circumstance of high node physical environment is more complicated, positioning density, it is based on the network connectivity system vulnerable to environmental or man-made (Connectedness) implementation of node localization. Its destruction and attacks, which cannot reach the ideal basic idea is: the unknown nodes according to their own wireless communication environment to achieve the set of threshold method to receive the beacon nodes positioning of the effect, therefore must have a very around the contains the node ID and position information strong security positioning system and algorithm. to determine its area, according to its beacon node ID and Power Dissipation: refers to the Power loss of Power position information received by the calculation area in consumption, Power consumption in the process of WSN the center of mass, and the area of the center of mass as design has always been one of the main aspects in its its own positioning results. This algorithm is simple, the application. Limited due to the energy of the sensor nodes hardware requirements is low, don't need any additional and it is not easy to get, so we need the whole WSN can hardware devices, but in the process of positioning with less energy consumption and high efficiency of requires more beacon nodes, and the algorithm are energy utilization to implement security positioning is the assumed in the process of locating nodes with wireless first question faced by the current research. signal transmission model of the ideal, this also has the Cost and Consideration: the cost of location algorithm very big difference with the actual situation, thus includes time cost, capital cost and space cost. Under the affecting the positioning precision of the Centroid. The premise of ensuring the accuracy of positioning, the basic principle of centroid is shown in Fig.1. positioning system should be the minimum cost, such as the amount of computation required, the amount of A communication, storage space, etc. 1

A2 Ⅲ . THE MAIN RANGE-FREE LOCALIZATION ALGORITHM A6 ANALYSIS Although positioning algorithm based on distance (x,y) measurement can realize accurate positioning, but also A3 often higher requirements for hardware, hardware cost A5 increasing, is not conducive to the use of large area, in A4 various fields, wide Angle. Without ranging localization algorithm is simple to use, only need to use the unknown Figure 1. diagram centroid algorithm node to estimate the distance between the reference node or other location information, and then use Trilateration In this algorithm, AAAA,, Six vertex coordin or Maximum Likelihood Method to calculate the 1236 (x,y),(x ,y ),(x ,y ),(x ,y ),(x ,y ),(x ,y ) unknown node coordinate information.

MDS-MAP algorithms assume that are connected between each pair of nodes, when the nodes density is D. Convex Optimization localization algorithm. small[7], not only the node positioning error is very big, [7] Convex Optimization is a kind of centralized the outside also can lead to many nodes can't locate. Only positioning algorithm, the so-called centralized the network connectivity to a certain extent, all of the localization algorithm is relative to the case of a unknown node can realize positioning. Generally adopts distributed localization algorithm, centralized positioning the algorithm for node coordinates for the relative algorithm using concentrated thought, after collected all position coordinates, transformed into absolute the sensor nodes effectively information unified coordinates to matrix operation, the relative coordinates positioning calculation, the extensibility of centralized of unknown nodes in the two-dimensional space into localization algorithm is bad, signal transmission and absolute coordinates generally requires at least three processing more troublesome, will not be able to use beacon node for auxiliary operation, in the three- flexible. Convex programming algorithm is shown in dimensional space requires at least four beacon nodes, so Fig.2: the algorithm calculation and energy consumption are generally bigger. F. AHLos localization algorithm AHLos [11] is a distributed localization algorithm based on TDOA ranging technology. The working process of the algorithm is: when the neighbor nodes of the unknown nodes in the anchor nodes is greater than or equal to 3, estimated by the maximum likelihood method to calculate its position, and upgrade to the anchor node, while the new level of anchor node information broadcast to the network; with the increasing number of anchor

The process is The basic principle of unknown nodes according to the repeated until all the unknown nodes as anchors. AHLos first communication radius and can communicate with the algorithm by atomic multilateration(AM) algorithm, beacon node to establish its possible location area, when iterative multilateration(IM) algorithm and collaboration the exhaustion after these areas are filtered according to multiateration(CM) algorithm consisting of a total of 3 certain standards in these areas and position classification, sub algorithms. finally determine a rectangle (as shown in Fig.3 of the When the number of anchor nodes in the network is rectangular area of the shaded area), to calculate the mass small, the AHLos algorithm can achieve the location of center of the rectangle and place it as the coordinates of the unknown node, its location advantage. In the the unknown node, so as to realize the node localization. networked car, when the road information infrastructure is not perfect or poor network connectivity caused by E. MDS-MAP localization algorithm. signal interference and other reasons, the AHLos MDS-MAP[7] belongs to the centralized positioning algorithm can make up for the lack of network algorithm, it is to use the node connectivity information environment. However, the iterative process at the same between nodes generated by Dijkstra or Floyd algorithm time to the accumulation of errors, namely the cumulative distance matrix, then using Shortest Path Algorithm to get error, reduce the overall positioning accuracy. Based on the location information between nodes. MDS to MAP the AHLos algorithm, the author proposes the algorithm the realization of the localization algorithm mainly of n-hop multilateration primitive [12-13], not only gives a divides into the following three steps: decision whether the node can participate in the condition (1) first of all, from the global perspective, according of the CM algorithm, and using the Calman filter to the given node connectivity information between technology to reduce the cycle of positioning cumulative network topology connected graph is generated, and then error and improve the positioning accuracy. through Shortest Path Algorithm to roughly estimate the G.

Abstract —Shape memory alloy (SMA) materials possess many unique mechanical, thermal and thermal-mechanical Ⅱ. PHASE DIAGRAME AND RECOVERY STRESS properties that govern their temperature-dependent shape OF SMA WIRES memory, superelastic and pseudoelastic effects. SMA actuators, in the forms of wire or strip embedded into NiTi (called ‗Nitinol‘) alloy is one of the most popular polymer-based composite structures are able to control the commercial use SMA materials in many structural and structures’ shape and stiffness in order to accommodate any clinical applications. In order to understand the working environment impacts.Due to an intrinsic shape memory principle of SMA actuators, it is necessary to familiar effect (SME) of prestrained SMA wires, additional recovery forces, which are able to alternate the dynamic and with the critical stress–temperature diagram (phase buckling properties of the structures, are generated upon diagram) proposed by Brinson[1] as shown in Fig. 1. In heating. This heat is usually induced by a means of the stress-free state, shape memory effect (SME) of a externally applied current.To fully use the benefit of the typical NiTi material can be governed by the four SME in SMA composite structures, understanding the transition temperatures (Mf0, Ms0, As0, Af0: Martensite interfacial bonding behaviour and stress transfer properties Finish, Martensite Start, Austenite Start, Austenite between the embedded SMA wires and matrix is crucial. In Finish). Note that a change of temperature, T, within the this paper, the wire pull-out properties of prestrained SMA range TtfA0f. However, the four transition interfacial bonding properties of SMA composites in temperatures are not constants but linearly vary with which prestrained SMA wires were embedded into epoxy applied stress, typically designated by the Mf-line, Ms- cylinder to form the composites.

The critical stresses σscr,0 and electrical resistive heating was used to activate the phase σfcr,0 are generally considered as constants that represent transformation process of the embedded wires.

Figure. 2. Microscopic observation on the debond of a prestrained SMA wire/polymer composite.

When a bare prestrained SMA wire is heated up to a temperature A0s in a stress-free condition, strain recovery should be initiated due to the start of austenitic phase transformation. However, in a SMA-reinforced composite structure, strain recovery of an embedded SMA wire is physically constrained by the surrounding matrix[3]. As a result, this recovery action induces a high interfacial stress that generated debond at the end of bonded region (see Fig. 2).

Ⅲ. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP A. Stress-Constrained Test To increase the reliability and stability of the SMA wires that were used to make SMA composites, a thermal–mechanical cycle treatment was first conducted until no variation in stress–strain characteristic was observed. The cycling procedure involved the straining of wires at low temperature and then heating them up to a temperature above A0f in a stress-free condition. In order Figure. 4. Plot of the length recovery versus against temperature for the SMA wire (pre-strained by 6%) subjected to a constant tensile force 30 to find out the transformation temperatures at different N. stress levels, a stress-constrained test was then conducted. After the cycling treatment, the SMA wires were then prestrained by at least 6% from their original length of 180 mm so as to ensure an obvious strain-recovery can be observed during the heat-up process. In this paper, the prestrained values are referring to the plastic strain of SMA wires in the martensite state under the stress-free condition. Prestrained wires were then subjected to pre- determined constant axial loads of 0.5, 2, 20, 30, 40 and 50 N. The electric current was applied to the wire in order to generate heat. The surface temperature of the wire was continuously measured by using a K-type Figure. 5. Plot of phase transformation temperatures at different thermocouple.

When an externally applied stress is lower than recovery stress induced by SMA actuation (σ<σre), matrix usually suffers a compressive stress as shown in Fig. 8a, which is similar to the experimental observation as indicated in Fig. 2. If the applied stress continuously increases upon the same magnitude of the wire's recovery stress (σ=σre), due to the force equilibrium, interfacial shear stress τi at loading end becomes zero (i.e. τi=0 at x=0) as shown in Fig. 8b. It implies that the interfacial shear stress at the potential crack tip (x=0) is moderated due to the actuating force Figure. 6. Mechanical response of the prestrained (6%) SMA wire to induced by the SMA wire. Therefore, higher applied load the actuation temperature under the strain-constrained condition. is required to initiate the interfacial debond. On the other hand, the SMA wire at the extended section should be considered as in a purely detwinned martensite state ( Fig. 8c) upon the finish of SIM. The wire behaves softly and no further SME occurs in this state. Fig. 9 shows the results of single wire pull-out tests of SMA/epoxy composite cylinders under different actuated temperatures.

C. Fabrication of SMA-Epoxy Cylinders As discussed in Section 3.2, interfacial bonding properties of SMA-composites can be studied by using the traditional fibre pull-out test. Prestrained SMA wires were embedded into the polymer-based composites during the moulding process. Dimensions of specimens, which were particularly designed for the pull-out test, are specified in Table 1. Silicon mould for a particular wire embedded length is fixed on the acrylic framework as Figure. 8. Schematic illustration for the SMA-fiber pull-out test in shown in Fig. 7.

Ⅳ. DEBONDING PROFILE OF AN ACTUATED SMA-COMPOSITE One of the most important factors which lead to the failure of composite materials is the interfacial debond between fibers and matrix. When shear stress between Figure. 9. Pull-out test results for the SMA-epoxy composites subjected constituents increases upon the interfacial shear strength, to different actuation levels (20, 40 and 60 °C). interfacial debond will start immediately.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS actuation temperatures as shown in Fig. 9. Since all the embedded SMA wires were actuated to the target The SMA actuators have attracted much attention in temperature before undertaking each set of pull-out test, the advanced composite industry in the past few years for as a result, recovered strains due to austenitic stiffness, shape and vibration control applications. The transformation were compensated during pull-out tests integrity of composite structures during their actuating and thus the longer plateau platform could be observed process is a crucial factor that makes the operation for higher actuation levels. success. This paper aims to introduce a simple superposition method and new PSDD to evaluate the critical debonding stress of prestrained SMA wire/epoxy composites. Experimental results proved that the superposition method is valid for the measurement of the debonding stress at different actuating levels. In the PSDD, several material parameters such as critical phase transformation stresses and temperatures are considered. In the practical situation, the evaluation of the debonding stress would dominate the whole design process that Figure. 10.

The use of current proposed method provides an easy and effective way for the design of a new generation of smart composite structures, particularly in the determination of the allowable pull-out stress and actuation force of embedded SMA actuators.

By combining the power supply system with an Figure 6 Current Spectrum Analysis Before Filtering equivalent electrical schematic with the filter system, the single harmonized filter branch and the high-pass filter The third filter parameters was set up and used as branch were connected in parallel to the systems. The illustrated in the filtering schematic. According to the target bar plant used a 6/0.4kV transformer to supply theory, the access to the third filter allows most of the power to each production unit. According to the load third harmonic to flow into the filter branch. In the characteristics of the plant, it was decided that the system, the third harmonic currents will decrease in filtering means was provided on the 6kV bus. larger amplitude, and the current will have a total By use of the system model, the harmonic current was harmonic distortion that is to be reduced accordingly. injected into the systems based on the given value. After the model of the third filter came in running, the Before the filter was put in use, current waveform could FFT analysis was performed for measurement on the be displayed on the oscilloscope system, as shown in Fig. system current, and the results are shown in Fig. 7 to 8. 4. Since the harmonic current in the system exceeded the The data in the figures indicated that the system had its predetermined standard value, the resulting waveform 3rd harmonic currents reduced from 56.06A down to distortion caused it no longer to be a inusoidal waveform 24.73A, comprising rate from 2.80% down to 1.24%. It in standard case. is plain to see that the placement of the single harmonized third filter was capable of largely filtering the third harmonic currents and voltages.

The Road map of Entrepreneurship Education Research in Higher Vocational Colleges Since Reform and Opening Up Hongxing Shi Zhongyuan University of Technology, Zhengzhou, China Email:[email protected]

Abstract—Since the reform and opening up, in the research aspects. Undergraduate institutions are not specific to the of entrepreneurship education in higher vocational colleges occupation but a certain type of industry, training the in China, we have experienced three important research industry's senior specialized personnel which has a wide periods and gradually formed the guiding strategy of professional caliber. It not only requires a certain entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics. On the theoretical level but also should strengthen the general whole, since the reform and opening up, entrepreneurship education research of graduations has shown the education. At the same time they have to understand and achievements, formed its own basic characteristics and master the general production process and a variety of made a lot of research results. But we must pay attention processes, but must not be very skilled. "[1] Differences that as a new research field, the perspective of on talent goals and the patterns of undergraduate and entrepreneurship education in higher vocational colleges specialist training determine different routes in should be more realistic and look for the future. Only in this entrepreneurship education. way could we promote higher vocational college students’ entrepreneurship education to achieve the new development I. PRE-SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PERIOD (1978-1990) in the future. From 1978 to 1990, it was the beginning and the Index Terms—reform and opening up, higher vocational formation period of the scientific research of colleges, entrepreneurship education, research entrepreneurial education in higher vocational colleges. Along with the climax of "raising the revolution and The research on entrepreneurial education in higher promoting production", trying to promote the national vocational colleges is a series of reflection processes economy and the establishment of the special economic accompanied by the development of higher vocational zone, a lot of people show the spirit of entrepreneurship and technical schools and gradually forms a new science. with their own practical actions during this period and In view of the initiation of entrepreneurship education in domestic scholars began to pay attention to a group of higher vocational and technical colleges, it has been pioneers, though the concept of entrepreneurship has not enriched and developed in the practice of reform and been put forward yet. In 1980, Tianjin Vocational opening up, transformed from the macro to the micro, University was founded. Except normal vocational abstract to specific, and gradually become an technical school, it was the first comprehensive entrepreneurial guidance research system with vocational vocational college in mainland since reform and opening characteristics.The system of its research process has up. It is historic for the development of higher vocational gone through three periods , that is, scientific research colleges in China. From 1980 to 1985, higher vocational period, systematic research period and exquisite research colleges achieve rapid development in vocational period. During the development of these three periods, colleges and five-year higher vocational education. the entrepreneurial education in higher vocational According to the literature statistics, colleges and colleges has formed a unique characteristic and has universities increased to 477 in 1988. [2] With the achieved rich research results. Compared with other increase in the number of vocational colleges and the levels of higher education, although there is a similarity number of students, the domestic scholars began to between the two, in the practice of history, the higher combine entrepreneurship and education. Since then, vocational college has its own vocational characteristics. domestic scholars began to explore and research on the In general, "Vocational colleges divide the majors in word "occupation", put forward and introduced a lot of accordance with industries, while colleges in accordance famous theories of careers. According to the existing with subjects. The higher vocational education is a new literature research, in China the first paper proposing type of higher education which combines higher entrepreneurship education for college students is On the education and vocational education. Having its own Education of Hard Work for College Students, which is characteristics of vocational education, the higher written by Luo Jiabin in 1987. The paper cited Decisions vocational education is very different from the general on the guiding principles of the construction of socialist undergraduate colleges in the types of personnel training, spiritual civilization of the Sixth Plenum of 12th CPC training objectives, teaching characteristics and other Central Committee and pointed that "We are developing

In 1997, Yu Zuguang titled forward the spirit of arduous pioneering and hard Vocational Education Entrepreneurship Education first, working, to tackle the key to the development of the published Entrepreneurship Education in the Field of socialist spirit of civilization and to create. "[3]However, Vocational Educational in the vocational education the article did not mention how to guide college students forum and it became the first article in the name of to start a business. China's entrepreneurship education vocational education. In 1998, the Ministry of Education was put forward in the end of 1989s . The famous scholar put forward "multi-channel, multi-standard and Hu Xiaofeng with other scholars wrote Entrepreneurship multi-mode development of higher vocational Education [4] as the basic for entrepreneurship education education," and proposed vocational colleges to actively of higher vocational college students, representing the explore the vocational ability education as the center of entrepreneurial education as a science into the people's the talent training model. In 1998, Tsinghua University attention. responded to the call, set up the entrepreneurial research center and began to explore the entrepreneurial education. II. BASIC SYSTEMATIZATION RESEARCH PERIOD (FROM In addition, China announced The 21st Century 1991 TO 1999) Education Revitalization Action Plan in 1999 and also put forward to strengthen entrepreneurship education of After 1991, China's higher vocational education is teachers and students, encourage them to set up high-tech growing and could meet the basic needs of talent industries.These have greatly promoted the formation of education.But because of the structural imbalance, some higher vocational college entrepreneurship education of the professional market supply surplus appeared. On system research. Between 1998 and 2000, there were 198 the other hand, after 1991, due to economic globalization, periodicals of entrepreneurial education in vocational electronic information technology became the core of the colleges, most of which were concentrated on the field of knowledge economy and it has changed the whole basic theoretical research, such as The Entrepreneurship world's economic structure, social structure and Education in the Need for Technical Education(1998) occupation structure. With the deepening of China's wrote by Tu Yonghua, Entrepreneurial Education - New economic system, the Chinese characteristics of the Tasks of Vocational Education under New Conditions of socialist market economy was established in China. Employment (1998) wrote by Zhao Zhicong, Vocational China's social demand for talent and enterprise Schools Must Implement Entrepreneurship Education employment system has undergone a fundamental change (1998) wrote by Li Shadai, Entrepreneurship Education: and the employment of graduates of vocational colleges the Golden Key to Solve the Problem of Employment of is increasingly difficult and the problem began to present Higher Vocational College Students(1999) wrote by in front of people and caused a high degree of concern Zhou Zhenbo, The Necessity and Countermeasure of and social repercussions in the community. In this period, Implementing Entrepreneurship Education in Higher business Education industry has gradually been Vocational Colleges(2000) wrote by Li Jianqiu and etc. recognized. Encouraging college students to start a Vocational education began to gradually embark on the business has become the main theme of the new era and a stage of higher vocational education and the basic system number of related research results also arise. According research on the entrepreneurial education of higher to the statistics in China, between 1991 and 1999, there vocational colleges formed. was a systematic study on entrepreneurship education, which included the basic concepts, basic categories, basic III. MULTI-REFINEMENT RESEARCH PERIOD (FROM 2000 frameworks and entrepreneurial models of TO NOW) entrepreneurship education , entrepreneurial goals and many other brilliant discussion. Between 1991 and 1995, In 2000, the Ministry of Education issued Opinions on the state formed a large number of academic research Promoting the Innovation of Entrepreneurship Education achievements in entrepreneurial education. Through the and the Work of College Students' Independent Chinese knowledge network, the most famous research Entrepreneurship. It is the first time regarding scholar of this period was Mao Jiarui, Jiangsu Institute of entrepreneurship education as the title of the document Educational Science, who has written Several Issues on directly and has originality. The view pointed out that Entrepreneurship Education, Objectives,Curriculum and "actively encouraging college students to start their own Evaluation of Entrepreneurship Education, Research on businesses is an important measure on the Entrepreneurship Education Project in Continuing implementation of entrepreneurship to promote Education, Quality Education and Entrepreneurship employment and promote the full employment of college Education, Comprehensive Reform of Rural Education graduates." In 2000, vocational colleges also faced new and Entrepreneurship Education, Entrepreneurial opportunities and challenges. So-called opportunities are Education Series of Books which are important that the Ministry of Education began to start the national foundations for the study of entrepreneurship and demonstration of vocational and technical college education in China and build a brief frame for the construction projects and brought new opportunities for research work of entrepreneurship education. The system the development of vocational colleges ; the so-called of entrepreneurship education in higher vocational challenges are due to the expansion of undergraduate colleges began to appear in the system of entrepreneurial institutions while the students were reducing year by year.

In order to get better development space and competition, rapid development. The highest annual growth rate vocational colleges began to focus on learning occurred between 2000 and 2012 [6], from 2012 to 2016, undergraduate colleges in the perspective of personal the research increase is slow. The research results are training and transformed from the employment guidance mainly concentrated on entrepreneurship education, but to the entrepreneurial guidance. The majority of topics on higher vocational education are fewer. Between vocational colleges developed a series of vocational 2005 and 2012, the total amount of research on higher students entrepreneurial service system which is oriented vocational entrepreneurship has been increasing, but the by entrepreneurship education. Our nation and local proportion of research in the field of entrepreneurship governments have also given the business policy support education has been relatively insufficient. For example, and site support and provided realistic basis for there are 19 documents on entrepreneurship of higher multi-refinement of entrepreneurship education research vocational college students in 2004, accounting for of vocational students. The first step in the refinement of 12.5% of the total educational documents(151 articles). the research is the refinement of direction, the second is In 2012, there were 237 research articles on the the refinement of the research category, and the third is entrepreneurship of higher vocational college students, the diversification of the research methods. The research accounting for 16.8%(1,409 articles) of the total system also existed generalization, perceptual and educational documents, an increase of only 4.3%, the general theory. annual increase of only 1%, which shows that the higher From 2000 to 2012, the total amount of research vocational education in entrepreneurship research has a literature on entrepreneurial education in higher certain development, but the magnitude is not high. The vocational colleges also showed a leap in the past 13 total lack of research literature is still a bottleneck years (Figure 1). The research on entrepreneurship restricting the future business development of higher education in higher vocational colleges showed a trend of vocational colleges.

Abstract—At present, social commerce enterprises take Along with the maturing of social media technology, some measures to guide consumption based on the social the social e-commerce has become a new kind of scene mode, in which consumers’ purchasing experiences transformation. In a sense, social commerce could be could be advisor. However, although the enterprises have seen as a child model of e-commerce. Based on social realized the importance of digging or satisfying interaction and UGC, social commerce websites provide consumers’ demands, currently the evolution mechanism guiding information for users to complete the transaction of implicit demands using is still not perspective, which leads to the barrier of further development of online. As a new connection channel between electricity enterprise.This paper defined the concepts and features of and consumers, the social commerce gain benefits consumers’ implicit demands and introduced its mode of mainly by clarifying the customers’ shopping demands evolution, and then according to the explicit degrees of for electricity drainage, compared with traditional their demands, we divided the consumers into 4 different electricity commodity circulation positioning. Therefore, types, adopting the method of algorithm. Afterwards, the on the basic of the understanding about the evolution system dynamic model of evolution mechanism of mechanism of consumers’ implicit demand, social e- consumers’ implicit demand was established on analysis of commerce websites can effectively identify the core the influencing factors on input for transformation of focus of policy and adopt the appropriate strategy to different types of consumers. Finally, on the basis of improve the investment portfolio, which will finally do analysis on predetermination and key-factors of the simulation, the paper put forward practical advices for help to improve the efficiency of the e-commerce social e-commerce operation and long-term development transaction. of relevant enterprises, which will do help to provide Currently, in foreign countries, social media for practical advices for performance improvement, aiming to business activities such as Facebook and Twitter are the make it become the guiding force of promoting long-term represent of the social e-commerce. And in the domestic, development of enterprises. social e-commerce model also has its own characteristics, Index Terms—Implicit demands, Evolution mechanism, among which the “Taobao” agitation led by Alibaba.CN Social Commerce, System dynamics in 2006 is a good example. Exposed to the complex online shopping environment, especially facing with the massive commodities on “Taobao”, consumers have great difficulties on making purchasing decisions. At the I. INTRODUCTION same time, some entrepreneurs and businessmen who In the past ten years, with the development of gradually realize practical significance of such business electronic commerce, the consumption habits of model have set up special media space, basing on the consumers are also changing. However, in spite of great recommendations aiming to benefit from it. Since then, convenience the booming online shopping market takesto with the further development of social commerce, the the consumers, accompanied risks of online shopping is model changed gradually from price-basing also becoming the hidden danger to the development of recommendations to other forms, with "Mushroom electronic commerce. Therefore, in order to resolve this Street" and "SMZDM.cn" as typical examples. contradiction, consumers began to exchange commodity In the process of development of social commerce, the information through social media, aiming to use the recommendation model developed from price-driving to public's sharing wisdom spread by word of mouth to content-driving and even the scene-driving. However, no break down barriers in e-commerce market, which can be matter what forms it takes, the social commerce is still more efficient guiding force in the growing online faced with many problems, which accounts for the shopping market to make purchasing decisions. necessity to understand the satisfaction of customers Thus, the web 2.0 of e-commerce and social media shopping desire and their implicit demands. Therefore, combined and formed a new business model, called how to manifest the implicit demands of users on social social commerce.

e-commerce is one of the important problems managers C. Research Status of Implicit Demands need to resolve in order to occupy the market. The concept of implicit demand was first mentioned Therefore, to analyze and excavate consumers’ in1987, and nowadays the specific definition of implicit potential demands, this paper use the method of system demand is still vague, as different scholars use different dynamics, based on the social commerce model, to define terminology to elaborates the connotation of implicit the electronic commerce environment on the connotation demand. But in essence, there is convergence existing in and characteristics of consumers’ implicit demands, and their defining standards, for example, all of them will the introduce its evolution model. Furthermore, K-means agree that implicit demand is needs that is unable to algorithm was used for consumers clustering analysis and articulate. we finally summed up four different types of them. In order to understand the implicit demand, we should According to the above analyzing research, the system realize the fact that the implicit demand does not exist in dynamics model was established to describe and analyze isolation, but attached to the explicit demand and the influencing factors of different types of consumers, influence each other. On the other hand, it’s stated that and their evolution regulation as well. At last, relevant the implicit demands will be distinguished based on the countermeasures and suggestions are put forward, on the characteristics of individuals, groups and organizations. basis of the result of the research. At present, the view that the research on the definition of implicit demand can be based on two dimensions II. LITERATURE REVIEW including information cognition and value perception, is A.

In the academic field, there are also many scholars focus their consideration on social commerce. Researches on the design model of e-commerce, impact of information gaining access and trading behaviors have achieved some valuable results. B. Research Status of Implicit Demands The concept of implicit demand was first mentioned in1987, and nowadays the specific definition of implicit demand is still vague, as different scholars use different terminology to elaborates the connotation of implicit Figure.1.

Therefore, in the research we figured the stages: purchasing demands confirming, information quantity of “tip-off reports" as a measure index of the collecting, evaluation comparing, purchasing decisions- recognition implicit demands. making and post-purchasing behaviors. 3. The consciousness layer of implicit demands(CL) In this paper we choose the domestic mainstream At the consciousness layer, the shopping demands of guiding e-commerce platform“SMZDM.COM”, consumers are in the "non-manifestation" condition, established in 2010, as the object of the research, which which should be discussed from the psychological level. is one of the earliest guiding platform with prices and In particular, the consciousness layer can be described as quality oriented. The website has stimulated lots of a condition in which the consumers search, browse, preferential commodity information, word-of-mouth comment on relevant information, driven by the reviews and experience sharing posts. unsatisfied desire state of discomfort. In other words, The aim of this research is to study the evolution such discomfort state can be thought as the consumers’ mechanism of the implicit demands for consumers, on desire to purchase goods with quality assurance, aiming the basis of the social e-commerce mode, during which to meet their psychological needs.

Class 3 9 40 2% Class 4 1 620 31% As shown in table 1above, according to the degree of manifestation of implicit demands, users can be evidently divided into 4 groups. Therefore, we defined these four types of consumers as “Information Viewers (VI)”, “Whistle Blowers (BR)”, “Acquisition Leaders (LD)”, and “Experience Sharers (SR)”. Figure 2. System Structure of Model B. Analysis on the influencing factors of social commerce user implicit demand According to the results of relevant researches, we concluded the influencing factors of users’ implicit demand of social commerce into four important factors, including the fundamental improvement, the social improvement, the technical input intensity and the individual improvement the input intensity, combined with the characteristics of social commerce. In addition, based on the information system model, we will analyze these influence factors of the four aspects one by one, aiming to expound the four social e-commerce specific connotation of user role conversion factors. Input intensity of the basic improvement (BIS) Recommendation of shopping information is one of Figure 3. Causality diagram of the System the basic of social commerce. In this paper, the basic improvement we mentioned mainly refers to the input Relevant variables are stated in table 2 below: intensity website operating investment such as the richness and objectivity of the website content and TABLE 2. delivery timeliness of the information, etc. Statement of Variables Input intensity of the social improvement (SIS) Based on the relevant sociological theory, we draw the NO.

BACKGROUND have been discussed. Finally, in the comprehensive analysis of existing research results at the same time, we conclude A. The basic concept the paper by elaborating the future research directions on the IoV. Knowledge in sensor networks, in order to achieve positioning, nodes randomly spread mainly two: Beacon Index Terms—internet of vehicles, localization method, node and Unknown node. Usually known its position of range-based node said to Beacon nodes and Beacon nodes can be through carrying the existing positioning equipment and I. INTRODUCTION other means to obtain its exact position, while the other Internet of Vehicles (IoV), the vehicle nodes and nodes are called for Unknown nodes, wireless sensor exchange data must be associated with the position, networks in CITIC mark node only account for a small therefore, must take certain mechanisms and algorithms proportion. Unknown nodes and Beacon nodes as a point to achieve real-time positioning and location awareness of reference, through the location information of Beacon between nodes on the vehicle node, and the establishment nodes to determine its position. The nodes of the sensor of close ties between the vehicle and the location of the network structure as shown in Fig. 1[8]. implementation, monitoring, vehicle tracking and positioning, so as to realize the dynamic management and control between the vehicles. Mentioned vehicle positioning satellite positioning, we first thought (such as GPS or Beidou). However, the source application in vehicle navigation and object tracking, the positioning accuracy, response time and controllability are unable to adapt to the application requirements of vehicle networking. At present, a feasible way is to let the city side of the road traffic. RFID reader, video camera and so on the road side unit (RSU) to obtain Figure 1. Beacon nodes and unknown nodes of wireless sensor accurate location information through satellite positioning, network as the anchor nodes in the network to provide location information source, running on the road vehicles with the In Fig. 1, the entire sensor network consists of four help of RSU positioning[1-3]. At present, there are mainly beacon nodes and a large number of unknown node based on range-based technology and the use of range- compositions. Beacon node B to represent, it in the free technology in two ways to achieve positioning. network as a whole accounted for less proportion. Based on systematic analysis of wireless sensor Unknown node u to represent, unknown nodes by around network (WSN) based on the existing achievements in the beacon nodes or has achieved self-localization of unknown node through certain algorithm to achieve self-

Cost and Consideration: the cost of location algorithm B. The node location technology performance evaluation includes time cost, capital cost and space cost. Under the standard premise of ensuring the accuracy of positioning, the In the wireless sensor network (WSN) positioning positioning system should be the minimum cost, such as technology, different localization algorithm has different the amount of computation required, the amount of influence on positioning results, usually has the following communication, storage space, etc. several indicators to measure [9]: Positional Accuracy: position precision is refers to the Ⅲ.

using complex, the hardware requirements are too high difference between the near field and the magnetic field and therefore less suitable to the application of wireless to measure the distance. sensor network localization. B. Positioning stage algorithm analysis. The TDOA is formed on the basis of the TOA algorithm. In this algorithm, using two kinds of wireless Trilateration through three known coordinates of signal transmitting node and different frequency beacon nodes and the three beacons to unknown nodes of information to send a group of the same area specified, distance information, according to the two-dimensional because the transmission speed of the two signals are spatial distance formula established equations and different, so the arrival time will be different according to linearization method is used to solve the unknown node the receiving node. The time difference and two kinds of location information. signal transmission speed can be calculated between the As shown in Fig.2, assuming that there are three receiving node and transmitting node distance value. This anchor nodes B, C, a to participate in positioning, and method can get the accurate positioning in NLOS their coordinates are (xaa , y ) 、 (xbb , y ) 、 (xcc , y ) . conditions. But the requirements of sensor nodes are equipped with RF transceiver and ultrasonic wave transceiver, thus increasing the cost. And the signal is easily affected by the environment applicable occasions, single. TDOA method is applicable to the line of sight environment, obstacles in the NLOS environment will be reflected on the acoustic wave refraction and diffraction, which would increase the ultrasonic transmission time , produced a lot of errors, and ultimately affect the accuracy of the positioning. AOA is through Triangulation calculate the location. In the AOA algorithm, unknown nodes first to calculated with respect to a reference node of the azimuth angle, which makes the algorithm positioning performance in Figure 2. Trilateration complex electromagnetic environment is very poor, but also improves the energy, which eventually led to the Hypothesis three anchor nodes have been measured by lifetime of the network is shortened. The WSN with low antenna array have node D signal direction of arrival, cost, the goal of low energy consumption contrary, so the after determining the azimuth can be calculated angle the measurement method of practicality is very low. ADB, ADC angle, BDC angle size. Node A, B and RSSI is using the channel attenuation model to realize proposed ADB can determine the only round O1 , and the function of positioning nodes according to the center coordinates (x , y ) and radius r , which A B received signal strength. The regularity of RSSI value is 11 1 not strong, so there is in the measurement when the error angle = 2 PI was ADB. Circle center coordinates and is large, so the need for multiple anchor nodes and radius can be calculated by the following Eq. 1: position, which requires a large number of anchor nodes.  (x  x )2  (y  y )2  r In practical application, signal will inevitably encounter  1 a 1 a 1 interference during transmission, reflection, absorption  2 2 (1) and other effects, which greatly reduce the positioning  (x1  xb )  (y1  y b )  r1 accuracy.

Abstract—China faces a big challenge since there are 55.75 2014, China State Council officially included million poor people in rural areas until 2015. The 13th “E-Commerce poverty alleviation” in the policy system, five-year poverty alleviation plan has involved E-commerce and it was taken as one of “Ten key projects of targeted into system. The rural E-commerce could improve the poverty alleviation” and has been implemented since awareness and abilities of poor people though income, 2015. In 2016, 2017, No.1 Document issued by the health, education and ecological environment measures. It CPC (Communist Party of China) Central Committee has important theoretical and practical significance to research the path of poverty alleviation of E-commerce took the E-Commerce poverty alleviation as a vital from enterprise perspective. Interview method is employed measure, so that E-Commerce played a major role in the to illustrate the specific measures and achievements of Jing poverty alleviation. According to China Rural Poverty Dong. As a result, in 2016 the cooperation business of Jing Alleviation Development Outline (2011 - 2020), the Dong in poor areas has grown 78%; it has trained 50 poverty alleviation methods in China mainly includes thousand people for E-Commerce, provided 20 thousand special, industrial, social and international cooperation positions and loaned RMB 200 million to poor counties. In poverty alleviation. E-Commerce poverty alleviation summary, this paper gives two solutions for B2C business to belongs to innovative poverty alleviation. reduce poverty: increasing income and Multidimensional poverty alleviation. Furthermore, some suggestions are Rural E-Commerce is developed usually because of given to improve the performance of E-commerce. two major problems i.e. difficulties in farmers' income growth and the agricultural products sales. Industrial Index Terms—E-Commerce, path, income increase poverty products consuming can save farmers' spending, and alleviation, Multidimensional poverty alleviation, Jing Dong agricultural products saling can increase farmers' income. E-Commerce from top to bottom is developed usually based on the dilemma that it is difficult to sell I. INTRODUCTION agricultural products, while rural E-Commerce, from bottom to top, is developed usually based on the dilemma E-commerce stands for electronic commerce, which that it is difficult to increase farmers' income. Rural includes broad and narrow sense. The term E-Business E-Commerce development relatively lags behind because refers to using various electronic tools, including farmers' production is dispersed, low education, poor telephone, television, computer, mobile communication infrastructure and the difficulties in standardization and to engage in business activities; while E-Commerce branding of agricultural products. refers to the use of Internet to engage in business The government, platform and market are activities. Regardless of E-commerce in broad sense or indispensable elements in the process of E-Commerce narrow sense, both E-Business and E-Commerce includes development. In China Since the establishment of the two main ideas, firstly the Internet used as the platform nation, the traditional relief-type poverty alleviation has and secondly commercial activity is taken as the purpose. been gradually developed to development-type poverty In China E-Commerce started in 1990s. Until 2000, it alleviation. At present stage, E-Commerce poverty gradually started from traditional industries (business to alleviation pays more attention to the role of the market. business i.e. B2B) to enter into sustainable development Evolving from giving someone a fish to teaching how to period and after 2010, it entered into period of mature fish, and then to building fishery is the change of poverty development. E-Commerce has brought revolutionary alleviation thoughts. “12th Five-Year Plan” period is the changes in China, including Urban and rural areas. In period in which rural E-Commerce developed faster, rural E-Commerce will continue developing rapidly Corresponding author: Jieying Bi, a research assistant of Chinese during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, lead to the “adult Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 13910425297, [email protected], stage”. The primary task of rural E-Commerce No. 12, Zhongguancun South Street, Haidian District, Beijing. development is to establish native rural E-Commerce service system by combination of online and offline, and

connection of high-level and grassroots implementations opportunity of entrepreneurship and employment of (Wang Xiangdong, 2016). impoverished people, fully excavate rural development With the implementation of E-Commerce poverty potential (Hong Yong, 2016). Lin Guangyi (2016) argued alleviation, a series of modes continuously appears. With that the poverty alleviation mechanism of rural the support of the government of “rewards substituting E-Commerce is divided into three levels of increasing subsidies, technical training and subsidized loan”, income, reducing costs and farmer empowerment. Longnan takes walnut sales through the Internet as the Poverty alleviation subject makes the effect on poverty sally port, and becomes the earliest E-Commerce poverty alleviation object through three indirect modes of alleviation pilot. Good Logistics, industrial chain and E-Commerce environment, local enterprises and local informatization development gradually forms industries. Poverty alleviation work shall guarantee two E-Commerce ecology, accumuling effect and scaling channels i.e. information channel, logistics channel, three effect in local area (Zheng Ruiqiang, Zhang Zhemeng, et services of industrial service, talent service, enterprise al, 2016). Main problems for the less developed service, and three guarantees of planning guarantee, E-Commerce include: Firstly, Physical capital i.e. the organizational guarantee and assessment guarantee. poor infrastructure, less Internet coverage and access, and In 1984, International Telecommunication Union poor logistics facility; The second one is the Human proposed to get rid of poverty through developing capital i.e. ignorance to E-Commerce, and the skill to use telecommunications infrastructure. In 2003, in the the computer, operate online store and pay online; international congress of “information and Thirdly Lack of related service support such as financial communication technology and poverty reduction”, the service; Lastly shortage of competitive goods, small scale, information and communication technology was used to unguaranteed and untraceable commodities. sprout poverty alleviation thought. The two conferences Most of researchers generally analyze in the view of of world information society summit (2003 and 2005) rural E-Commerce poverty alleviation mode and barely confirmed the information technology as the means to focus on rural E-Commerce enterprise poverty alleviation. implement the goal of development of “Millennium Thus, this paper takes a case study of Jing Dong, to Declaration”, and pointed out “unswervingly endowing analyze rural E-Commerce enterprise poverty alleviation the ability to the poor, especially the poor living in path. remote and border areas, rural area, peripherization urban area, and use information and communication technology II. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE to obtain information, for poverty reduction”. Sumanjeet (2009) argued that the application of information and E-Commerce is provided with the characteristic of communication technology had greater effects on Three High i.e. high additional value, high technical education, poverty reduction, employment opportunities. content, high human capital content and Three New, i.e. E-Commerce poverty alleviation can improve health, new commercial activities, new technique, new ways. education and human capital, poverty reduction, gender With the advantages of market globalization, continuous equality, employment opportunity, community transactions, lower cost, resource intensivism (Li information acquisition conditions. Brie Katherine Hongxia, 2015). It can be known from E-Commerce Rehbein (2013) pointed out that the limited market access, market globalization characteristic that cross-border deficient human capital, and insufficient government E-Commence, namely transaction subjects in different support were the primary causes that ICT and customs frontiers, will become the key component of E-Commerce are difficult to become the realistic choice international trade. According to the statistics, from 2008 of rural artificer improving livelihood framework. Rita to 2016, the proportion of cross-border E-Commence of Rahayu and John Day (2016) took sample of 292 middle China accounting for the scale of imports and exports and small-sized enterprises in Indonesia, based on the was increased from 5% to 20%, and there is the tendency view of income, finding that the enterprise with high of sustainable growth (Guo Weiping, Wang Lixia, 2015). E-Commerce acceptability obtained more income; These There are not only advantageous conditions existing in enterprises took marketing and procurement activity as the development of cross-border E-Commence, such as, the principal function. They take E-Commerce for mature E-Commerce and service platform, gradual enlarging market boundary, increase quantity of sale, increase in related talents g, more national policy support, improving external communication, promoting corporate but also the disadvantages, including imperfect logistics image, increasing production speed, increasing labor system, high product frequency, low value, miscellaneous force production rate as the main income index. Carmen category. Furthermore, there are threats, including Leong and Shan L. Pan (2016) took the two villages of appreciation of the RMB, more transaction friction and Suichang and Jinyun for research, in the view of digital big transaction risk (Guo Weiping, Wang Lixia, 2015). empowerment, they analyzed how Grassroots Leaders, The key to get rid from poverty lies in promoting E-retailors, E-supply Chain Partners, Third-Party awareness of development, motivating internal E-Commerce Service Providers and Institutional motivation through information poverty alleviation Supporters use ICT to develop, expand and update among farmers (Zheng Ruiqiang, Zhang Zhemeng, et al, e-commerce. it can reach the conclusion that the 2016). E-Commerce provides the new path to implement E-Commerce development was likely to cause the targeted poverty alleviation, which can change the market behavior of impoverished people, increase the

A. Current Model of E-commerce Poverty Alleviation When the docking of small farmers and the market is According to the research and the summary of achieved, it is necessary to figure out the real needs and e-commerce poverty alleviation models in various the special skills of small peasant households in poor regions, the management models of e-commerce poverty areas in order to provide data support for the targeted alleviation could be divided into several models such as poverty alleviation and increase the success rate of the Longnan model of government leading plus farmers poverty alleviation and the stability of anti-poverty. In plus e-commerce, the Tongyu model of producer plus addition, the e-commerce poverty alleviation has its e-commerce, the Shaji model of spontaneous unique advantages in promoting regional economic entrepreneurship of farmers plus government guidance development.

The development of these tasks requires opportunities for local agriculture, reduce transaction some technical requirements, that is to say, a group of costs and improve farmers’ income; the third is reflected high-quality ecommerce inter-disciplinary talents is in the ability of the Internet in driving the development of crucial to the development of e-commerce poverty other local industries, which means the models such as alleviation. However, at present, there is a serious lack of the "Internet plus professional cooperatives plus farmers", relevant talents in China. Due to their own conditions and the "Internet plus e-commerce park plus farmers", etc., the poor autonomous learning ability, it is difficult for the can be used to promote only the local agriculture but also farmers in poor areas to grow into professional other related industries so as to help with the local e-commerce talents with the perfect skills in e-commerce industrial upgrading and transformation, and carry out the operation through their own efforts. On the other hand, it ability training with farmers, thus forming a good is difficult for the poor areas to attract professional talents circulation and improving the stability of shaking off from the outside due to their poor ability to attract talent, poverty. while the local knowledge talents will flow to the outside world due to their pursuit of better development III. OBSTACLES AND DEVELOPMENT BOTTLENECK OF opportunities, thus causing the serious shortage of E-COMMERCE POVERTY ALLEVIATION e-commerce professionals in poor areas. In addition, due to the poor e-commerce infrastructure environment in Although e-commerce poverty alleviation has been rural areas, even if there are a certain number of one of the major national strategies for poverty e-commerce professionals, it is also difficult for farmers alleviation, and various regions have done many to carry out effective training, thus resulting in the more explorations, but from China's actual situation, the difficult cultivation of e-commerce professionals in poor implementation of e-commerce poverty alleviation still rural areas. exist many obstacles. At present, the main challenges faced by e-commerce poverty alleviation are mainly as C. Lack of financial support the following aspects. The funds have always been the main problem for farmers in poor areas, and it must require the adequate A. Lag of Information Construction financial support in terms of poverty alleviation. As a Although the pace of information construction in rural new model of poverty alleviation in China, e-commerce areas in recent years has been accelerated, but the rural poverty alleviation has received enough attention, but the information construction system is still not perfect due to special funds are still not in place. In addition, the the too much lag and there is still a big gap in comparison shortage of funds is just one aspect, while the insufficient with the city. According to the “2016 Survey Report on mechanism of funds’ integrated management by the Internet Utilization in Chinese Village” released by government is also an important reason for the low CNNIC, until June 2016, there were 710 million Internet utilization rate of the limited funds, and coupled with the users in China, among which, there were 519 million occurrence of corruption, all these reasons have hindered users in cities and towns, accounting for 73.1%, but there the effective use of funds. At the same time, the policy were only 191 million users in rural areas, accounting for system construction of micro credit for farmers in our only 26.9%. The Internet penetration rate in rural area country is still not perfect, so it is difficult for farmers to was 31.7%, which indicated a slight improvement in obtain loans from banks because of the lack of collateral, comparison with 30.1% in June 2015, but there was still a credit and other reasons, especially for the farmers in huge gap in comparison with 67.2% of the urban Internet poor areas.

Electronic illustrate the important role of “Internet plus” in commerce mostly uses the express way to transport promoting agricultural transformation and upgrading, and goods, but in the vast central and western regions of described how to effectively make use of the Internet China, the coverage area of express delivery mostly can technology by enterprises so as to generate the better only reach the township level, and some can only reach social effect with the Guo Xingnong modern agriculture the county level, while even the postal department also as an example. Guo Xingnong based on agricultural rarely set up a fixed site in the village, and the distance of modernization is a Four-New company with the the "last mile" from the village led to the increase of dependence on agricultural science and technology logistics cost, the extension of delivery time and the innovation and the practice of “Internet plus agriculture” severe compression of the profit margins of agricultural to provide the whole process of agricultural production products, which is more evident in fresh agricultural with the solutions of whole industry chain through the products. In addition to the insufficient coverage of “five-linkage business” (GAP planting standard scheme, express, the development of rural roads is relatively intelligent agricultural system, traceability system, backward with the uneven standards of road construction, e-commerce platform for brand planning and and the insufficient coverage.

The main In this paper, the existing models, the advantages and reason of difficult implementation of ecommerce poverty the development bottleneck of ecommerce poverty alleviation in villages is that there is no e-commerce alleviation were summarized on the basis of the summary professionals to manage the operation, but labor costs are of previous studies, in addition, the ecommerce poverty too high to hire professional personnel, while actually the alleviation cases of the four constitutions or companies local young people with certain ability are more suitable including UNDP, ADB, Jingdong and Tencent were for local e-commerce management in comparison with introduced and analyzed in this paper, and the main the professional ecommerce talents. The practice of the recommendations and enlightenment are as follows. Jingdong and Tencent has proved it is feasible to search First, the current poverty identification model based on for personnel to be trained in local villages, and the the income to indentify the poor households in many poor personnel trained in this way know more about the local areas is still relatively backward in comparison with the customs and communicate with the local residents more requirements of the current targeted poverty alleviation. easily, in addition, for the different models of ecommerce In the identification and the backing out of poor poverty alleviation in different regions, the enterprise can households, the multidimensional nature of poverty carry out professional education for the local model, should be considered more as well as the factors such as which not only can reduce cost, but also is more suitable

The Application of Various Teaching Methods in the Teaching of Financial Engineering

Tao Song School of Economics, Yangtze University, Jingzhou 434020, China

Abstract—There are different textbooks in the process of basis have more difficulties. Zheng Zhenlong and Chen "financial engineering" teaching. Each textbook has its own Rong's "financial engineering" arrange chapters from characteristics. Teaching content is complex. There are a futures to swap and options. Arrangement of chapters is lot of formulas and models. The liberal arts students have from simple to complex. It is easy for students to learn great difficulty in learning the course. So teachers need to the course step by step. However, it mainly introduces apply comprehensive teaching method such as deductive the relative pricing method and lack guidance cases. teaching method, comparative teaching method, practice teaching method and other teaching methods in order to Each version of the textbooks has their own enhance teaching effectiveness. characteristics. Single textbooks can not meet the teaching requirements at the same time. Teachers can use Index terms—financial engineering; deductive teaching one of them as the main teaching materials and reference method; comparative teaching method; practice teaching to other textbooks. method B. Teaching content is numerous and complex. I. INTRODUCTION Teaching content of "Financial engineering" is very much. We take Zheng Zhenlong and Chen Rong's "Financial Engineering" is a new discipline emerging "financial engineering" as an example. The teaching from the United States in the late 1980s. It introduces content includes overview of financial engineering, engineering ideas into the financial field and integrates overview of forward and futures, forward and futures various engineering methods (mathematical models, pricing, forward and futures using, stock index futures , numerical models and simulation methods). It develops forex forward, interest rate forward and interest rate and implements new types of financial instruments and futures, overview of swap, swap pricing and risk analysis, then creatively solves problems. At present, "financial swap using, options and options markets, options returns engineering" has been included in the compulsory core and price analysis, black-scholes-merton options pricing professional courses of finance undergraduate students model, option pricing method, option trading strategy by the Ministry of Education. "Financial engineering" and its use, option price sensitivity and option hedge, involves a large number of mathematical formulas and stock index options, foreign exchange options, futures models. Teaching effect will be less satisfactory if options and interest rate options, exotic options and risk teachers do not use the teaching methods that accustom management. Although the overall teaching content is to the curriculum characteristics in the teaching process. the logical order of forward, futures, swaps and options, So we need to use a variety of teaching methods into the almost every chapter deals with higher mathematics "financial engineering" course teaching. related knowledge. The options section is also related to probability theory and random mathematical content.

Different versions of textbooks are different book abstractly. Teachers have difficulty in grasping the advantages. focus of the course. It is difficult for students to learn it. C. There are many formulas and models. At present, the domestic common materials are Zheng We take Zheng Zhenlong and Chen Rong's "financial Zhenlong and Chen Rong's "Financial Engineering" engineering" as an example.

John C.Hull "options, futures and other derivative contract pricing model and the spot forward parity products" content is more close to the real financial principle. According to the underlying assets, forward market but the teaching content is very much. Teaching contracts are also divided into non-profit assets forward time is 32 hours. Teaching time is not enough. Ye contract pricing, known cash income assets forward Yonggang and Zheng Kangbin's "Introduction to contract pricing and known yield assets forward contract Financial Engineering" introduces option pricing at the pricing.

The bond pricing method It also helps to cultivate students' ability of reasoning and also involves the fixed-rate bond pricing model and the classifying complex things. It helps to cultivate students' floating-rate bond pricing model.

The practice teaching is a mode of teaching practice Teachers can also exercise students' logical thinking that teachers use demonstration simulation and case ability by deductive teaching method. analysis in order to guide students to solve the problems Let us take the forward and futures pricing model as in the actual work situation. It is helpful for students to an example. First of all, teachers should teach the enhance their learning ability. a way of teaching practice students to learn the principles of financial engineering teaching ability. Teachers that adopt practice teaching pricing. It is easy for students to use the general require selecting materials and select materials and principles or rules in long-term contract pricing.

The teacher can give a prices based on the relationship between underlying asset leading case before teacher introduce relative pricing price and derivative securities prices. Then, teachers can method to derive the pricing model of the forward use the relative pricing method in the non-profit assets contracts with no income assets.

Abstract—This note is concerned with the problem of delay- sampling period is studied using the time-stamp technique distribution-dependent stability and stabilization for [10]. By viewing the time-varying network-induced delay networked control systems with stochastic network induced as parameter uncertainty, the stabilization of networked delay and data packet dropout. The stochastic delay and control systems with delay shorter than one sampling data packet dropout are viewed as stochastic time-varying period is studied and sufficient conditions expressed in delay without any constraints on its derivative. Which is assumed to be satisfying a interval Bernoulli distribution. linear matrix inequality are presented in [11]. Due to the probability of the delay taking value in different In this paper, our objective is to consider the problem intervals, a new approach is given to model the networked of delay-distribution-dependent stability for networked control systems. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, control systems with stochastic delay and data packet with the linear matrix inequality approach, a new dropout.

INTRODUCTION ytCxtDut()()() (1) It is well known that a feedback control system in xtx()00  which all devices(sensors, controllers and actuators) are n m interconnected by communication networks is called where x() t R is the state vector, utR() is networked control systems(NCSs).Compared with the the input vector, ytR() r is the controlled traditional point-to-point architecture control systems, the networked control systems have the advantages of high output, x0 is an constant vector. ABCD,,, are mobility, low cost, easy maintenance and reconfiguration. known real constant matrices with appropriate For these advantages, the networked control systems dimensions. receive more and more attention and has been a very hot Throughout this note, we suppose that all the system's research topic [1-4]. states are available for a state feedback control. In the However, the network itself is a dynamic system that presence of the control network, which is shown in fig.1, exhibits characteristics such as network-induced delay and data transfers between the controller and the remote packet losses. The insertion of the communication system, e.g., sensors and actuators in a distributed control network induces different forms of time delay uncertainty system will induce network delay in addition to the between sensors, actuators and controllers. These time controller proceeding delay. delays come from the time sharing of the communication In this note we make the following assumptions: medium as well as the computation time required for Assumption 1: Sensor and controller are clock- physical signal coding and communication processing [5- driven. 8]. It is well known in control systems that time delays Assumption 2: Actuator is event-driven. can degrade a system's performance and even cause In Fig.1, sc is the communication delay between system instability. Another significant difference between the sensor and the controller;  c is the NCSs and standard digital control is the possibility that ca data may be lost while in transit through the network computational delay in the controller;  is the because of uncertainty and noise. And the worked- communication delay between the controller and the induced delay or packet losses are usually stochastic and actuator. Here we suppose that sc c ca described by a two-state Markov chain, which is k       [0,  ]is stochastic network- especially common in wireless communication networks induced delay, where is a constant. d( k ) [0, d ] such as Bluetooth and WLAN. Different methods have been developed to deal with the above problems [9-11]. representing the stochastic data dropout number The stochastic optimal control of networked control between the sensor and the actuator. systems whose network-induced delay is shorter than one

Abstract—In this paper, first, the enterprise culture embedded in the enterprise, which makes the cultural enterprise restructuring is analyzed, emphasize the cultural process has become automatic machinery, become a habit integration of an enterprise; the necessity and important of behavior, and people do not feel the existence of meaning of Then, through to our country enterprise corporate culture. Corporate culture, to a certain extent, restructuring goals and culture the particularity and the performs potential, and its role is invisible and subtle, so cultural integration task to analyze and judge the basic that the restructuring is often difficult to consciously put situation, points out the current our country enterprise forward the impact of corporate culture and role. But restructuring with cultural integration common reasons for the failure of hysteresis; At last, according to our country once there were the bad results,it had often been difficult [2] enterprise restructuring enterprise cultural integration to return and it is not easy to grasp . from the problems existing in the starting point of corporate Second, the corporate culture and corporate restructuring, the cultural orientation, enterprise culture restructuring behavior, the former is a slow variable, integration principle, guiding mode and strengthen the which is fast variables. Because the existence of culture cultural integration aspects of the effectiveness of proposed may be longer than the existence of the organization, countermeasures to solve them. after the enterprise reorganization, the cultural inertia of the original enterprise will continue exist in the Index Terms—Corporate restructuring; Enterprise culture; reorganization of enterprises ,which make the corporate Cultural integration culture's retention effect determines the long-term characteristics of corporate culture integration. Corporate culture and corporate expansion behavior, changes in I. INTRODUCTION corporate structure between the time difference, that is, Corporate restructuring is a magic weapon for changes in corporate structure is completed, the corporate enterprise strategic adjustment and transformation, which culture also need a hard run-in phase to complete the is also the main mode for the growth of modern integration, which determines the beginning of corporate enterprise. It is not only powerful means of the expansion restructuring, and it usually face culture conflict, cultural of enterprise scale, improving production efficiency and loss and other troubles, which increased the difficulty for optimizing the allocation of enterprise resources and it the reorganization of enterprises in the cultural has a huge role in social economic growth and the integration [1]. adjustment of industrial structure. However, despite the In addition, the indirect and deep-seated characteristics restructuring goal is clear, and the effect is also of corporate culture also determines its integration is not predictable, but in actual operation, it is not easy to as easy as economic behavior. In the reorganization achieve a substantial restructuring of enterprises, process, if the manager of the corporate culture is not especially the cultural integration. Therefore, this paper deep or lack of capacity, it is easy to be ignore. mainly discusses our country enterprise culture B Misunderstanding and operational misconduct integration and reorganization of hysteresis and failure attribution problem and after the reorganization, how the Business leaders are unconscious or vague about enterprise to integrate culture, and put forward the corporate culture and their integration. China's corresponding countermeasures. understanding of corporate culture and its importance mainly comes from the analysis of some successful II. CHINA'S CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING, CORPORATE examples of the United States and Japan, but in the CULTURE INTEGRATION, HYSTERESIS AND FAILURE process of analysis, we are more concerned about the PROBLEMS ATTRIBUTION successful results of these successful enterprises, and its observable characterization easy to learn, but it lacks of A. Enterprise culture are easily overlooked and replace understanding of the profound connotation of corporate slowly culture and the role of cultural integration, the process First of all, the role of corporate culture determines the and the integration of corporate culture and the related characteristics of corporate culture is easy to be ignored. management activities.Coupled with the late start of As the form of enterprise value has been deeply China's corporate restructuring, lack of experience, corporate culture is the integration of corporate culture in

the new form, and China's existing enterprise to enterprises in the internal structure and external links management in many ways also have the traditional on the existence of contradictions and problems, so that planned economy traces,.Therefore,as a management enterprises are difficult to turn their attention to corporate resource, corporate culture has not been fully explored culture integration. And through the reorganization of and used, many business leaders also lack experience government forces promote the integration of corporate which uses corporate culture orienting corporate behavior. culture in the process of adding a stakeholder, the Corporate culture and a sense of integration are weak,and enterprise must also coordinate all aspects of the matter the attitude is not positive and not clear. In this case, it is through the government, which makes the internal extremely difficult to form a new culture of reorganizing resources of the elements in a substantial state of division, the firm. leading to internal cultural exchange and financing Corporate culture integration work is surface, formal channels not smooth, thus increasing the difficulty of and short - term. Corporate culture integration work is the integration, it is difficult to achieve cultural integration integration of corporate culture integration only stay in and coordination. the material and cultural level, not deep into the system (2) The bound of the traditional culture and the old culture level, no mention the spiritual and cultural level. system fall concept. The crisis in the enterprise In the practice of corporate culture integration, many reorganization is often due to the corporate culture of the enterprises pay attention to the use of uniform signs, concept, mode and way of lagging behind and outdated, symbols, colors, clothing and other packaging, or are resulting in a series of mistakes, thus violating the basic limited in cultural and recreational activities, and lack of economic laws and the basic principles of enterprise rules and regulations to regulate and constrain corporate management. With the development of enterprises, behavior and business employees, and lack of creating a especially the gradual improvement of market economy kind of tolerance and friendship, unity and cultural system, enterprise restructuring has become an important atmosphere and corporate value goals. Corporate culture content and way of enterprise reform, and has become a integration is superficial in the operation ,which can not propeller for the establishment of modern enterprise be well reflected in the enterprise development strategy system. However, because China's corporate restructuring and management work , so after the reorganization is is in the dual system coexistence, and rise the old and difficult to really win the hearts of people.Formalization new system under the conditions , so it is inevitable on of corporate culture integration refers to the integration of the one hand with the old system of legacy traces, on the enterprises in general focus on imitation, light creation, other hand the new contradictions are constantly not only lack of personalized features, but also corporate generated,which make the real dilemma of the corporate employees, and thus affect its actual results. Some culture integration and development .The concept which enterprises in the cultural drive make cultural integration traditional culture and the old system is under the and innovation and highlight their own cultural backward makes corporate restructuring in the corporate personality on the basis of the combination of the needs culture integration and development of wearing a heavy of the times and environmental changes not summarizing tug. their own excellent cultural and management experience , (3) Drag of social barriers. At this stage, the social but blindly follow the example ,which can not be situation faced by our enterprises is grim and the task of implemented in the staff action, and can not be combined restructuring and transformation is arduous and with the enterprise management, its efficacy is very complicated. In particular, China's social security system low.Short-term integration of enterprise culture refers to is not perfect, the market mechanism is not perfect, the lack of systematic integration of enterprise culture enterprises still have production, social security, social and long-term development plan,which do not pay welfare and social management and other multiple attention to corporate culture integration and corporate responsibilities. In recent years, with the enterprise goals in the connotation of the combination; no actual system reform and corporate restructuring continue to operating agencies and permanent propulsion agencies, occur, China's unemployment population continues to neglecting around the production and operation of the increase. Once the workers are unemployed, not only internal and external environmental changes,and seeking wages, living expenses are unlucky, and all the welfare a spirit of enterprise throughout the corporate culture become a bubble, which resulted in the incumbent on the integration at all levels and the construction of a unemployment problem of great panic and reorganization reorganization after the operation of the overall corporate of the rare resentment. In this case, enterprises not only culture, all of which make the role of corporate culture is should consider the performance of the reorganization, not significant[3]. but also avoid a large number of employees caused by social shocks, making the internal and external pressure, C The existence of institutional and social barriers many entrepreneurs have a large number of business, it is (1) The impact of government behavior. From the difficult to pay attention to the beginning culture, rarely situation in China, corporate restructuring to some extent calm down thinking about corporate culture and other more perform for characteristics of the government deep-seated problems, even if it has attracted attention, it promoting, rather than the market spontaneous choice. is difficult to put the overall and fundamental strategic Corporate restructuring lack of internal, after the position on the grasp. This makes the cultivation of the reorganization of enterprises, the emergence of a large overall corporate culture lost the role of the core business, number of redundant issues and debt problems, but also

and is in a blind state of development, thus further B to determine the principle of corporate culture deteriorate the conditions of the new culture[4]. integration orientation (1) The unification of economic objectives and cultural III. THE COUNTERMEASURE OF CULTURAL INTEGRATION objectives. Now the enterprise's living environment AFTER CHINA 'S ENTERPRISE REORGANIZATION becomes turbulent due to the intensification of A To determine the cultural orientation of corporate competition. In the turbulent environment, the economic restructuring goal of the enterprise may change due to the change of the environment. Therefore, in the construction of the Enterprise cultural integration is a complex run-in corporate culture, the good corporate culture is the most process, it must consider the relevant cultural issues and able to adapt to the dynamic the culture of the economic orientation before the reorganization of enterprises, environment. In the reorganization of enterprises, which will often determine the corporate culture after the managers should be aware that the difficulty of reshaping reorganization of corporate connotation.The performance the corporate culture lies in the inertia of the original of the realization of cultural synergies is corporate corporate culture. When the economic goals have restructuring deep-level driving force of corporate changed, the organizational structure has also changed, culture . Thus Corporate restructuring should not only and the original corporate culture will be inefficient. At consider corporate the business , technology, finance and this time, some of the corporate culture will help other resources can achieve complementarity, but also enterprises to compete more effectively, while others consider its effectiveness and feasibility from the have become obstacles to competition. Therefore, we perspective of cultural synergy . The cultural synergy should pay attention to changes in the dynamic refers to the potential of an active corporate culture that environment, timely change the cultural goals, so that has economies of scale due to the exportability of certain unify with the economic objectives[5]. enterprises' negative cultures, improving the overall (2) Pay attention to human factors. Enterprises can efficiency through the proliferation, infiltration and learn from Maslow's proposed self-realization of the path assimilation of negative cultures in the reorganization of to build talent incentive, growth and display platform. activities . Enterprises can proceed from Maslow's theory of needs The effect of corporate synergistic culture depends on hierarchy, from the staff point of view to consider the combining action of the various factors. First, that is the restructuring of enterprises to reshape the corporate common values and cultural orientation of the formation culture to consider the factors. There are several aspects of external cohesion and external radiation effects, to be done: strengthen communication and organization resulting in the overall function of culture, The internal of publicity, communication make management and staff and external recognition of corporate values make the eliminate barriers to create a mutual trust in the cohesion ,radiation stronger and the synergies of foreign atmosphere; according to the restructuring and cultures stronger; The other is cultural differences. It is reorganization of the needs of the staff to carry out the depend on all factors combining action of the synergies necessary training to meet the new process, the operation of corporate culture. Usually, the stronger of the culture of new business needs new knowledge, new skills, and firming, the smaller of the difference, the stronger of the even communication and interpersonal skills training, and synergistic effect, the more of the scale effect on guide their values consistent with the ultimate goal of the reorganization. Therefore, it is bases and standards that enterprise; from the enterprise compensation standard choosing reorganization is depend on the size of the design point of view, it should consider the work of staff synergies of corporate culture. China's enterprises in the attitude, job performance to design compensation reorganization of enterprises should pay more attention to standards. It should know that the incentive role of two aspects of cultural synergies to proceed the reward can guide staff attention to work attitude and reorganization of in-depth comparative study in order to work performance. In combination with these factors, we play the maximize role of cultural synergies select the should focus on guiding our employees' personal goals results to. and personal visions, while it is helpful to achieve their First of all, it is necessary to analyze the cultural own goals, align them with their goals and visions. connotation of the reorganization subject and its (3) Pay attention to the spirit of the enterprise team. composition and source.

construction of enterprise system, communication and leadership to break the past only focus on the coordination in the internal departments, leaders and phenomenon of hard management, seriously accept and employees, reasonable material incentives, full learn corporate culture and other soft thinking and participation in management, better incentive mechanism, technology, break through the old thinking habits and the development of human potential, harmonious cultural constraints, and form modern corporate culture interpersonal relationships and the overall concept, the awareness. Not only profoundly understand the overall consciousness and so on. From the strengthening connotation and role of corporate culture, but should of team competitiveness, train team spirit, and help hand form the following understanding of the integration of for the reorganization of corporate culture. corporate culture: corporate culture integration is rich, (4) Pay attention to the principle of combining the multi-level, multi-channel complex projects, not just internal and external environment. On the one hand, it is engage in several cultural activities can be done ; necessary to strengthen the internal control of enterprises, Corporate culture integration is not an isolated, the development of staff behavior rules, rewards and short-term or one-time work, can not rely solely on the punishments system, so that enterprises become a ideological and political departments or related functional combination of human and institutionalized strong departments, but all the leaders of enterprises should cultural organizations, so that employees have actively promote, support and practice the relationship recognition of corporate values, so as to form a cohesion between the enterprise development of the major to enhance the enterprise competitiveness. Enterprises practical issues. Senior management leaders should fully can not only be limited to high salaries to retain talent, understand the role of corporate culture integration, to but also pay attention to corporate culture in the heart stand high, see far, to overcome the quick success, level of the staff incentives. On the other hand, to shape a anxious thinking, the corporate culture as an important competitive corporate culture, it can not ignore the part of enterprise development strategy, strengthen the openness of the system, the organization should keep risk awareness. Recognizing that corporate culture abreast of the changes in the external integration is a risk and can not be taken for granted. To environment,develop strategies based on changes in the this end, it is necessary to establish a party and environment do a good job on the basis of internal government leaders in charge of corporate culture resources analysis to develop dynamic the competitive integration leading group to be responsible for the whole strategy of the environment will change with the changes process of corporate culture plastic surgery. This will not of the environment. Therefore, the managers of only work together to form a concerted effort, but also enterprises in the process of considering the corporate from the organizational mechanism to strengthen the culture should be based on the external environment of business leaders of the cultural integration of the sense of enterprises, internal resource conditions and the human urgency, responsibility and hard to integrate the corporate resources of enterprises and the objectives of the culture in the end of the determination. enterprise and in-depth analysis can promote business As the corporate culture integration is "software" growth factors. management, it is difficult to use a more unified standards and norms of the way, in the operation it must C strengthen the corporate leaders of the cultural pay attention to the art. Therefore, to ensure the effective integration of awareness and ability implementation of corporate culture and implementation, The key point of the integration and remodeling of business leaders should not only be conscious, but also corporate culture is whether there is a group of managers must have the ability to have a higher quality. This who can reshape the integrated culture. Business leaders requires business leaders to improve their organizational in the enterprise is both managers, but also the capacity, leadership decision-making ability and cultural ideological leader of the staff, its cultural integration judgment ability, and strive to learn, actively explore , awareness and ability to improve the formation of new master the law of cultural integration , methods to learn corporate culture is a promoter. The significance of more domestic and foreign enterprises to reorganize the strengthening the awareness and ability of corporate cultural integration of successful experience ; And pay leaders' cultural integration is that they can achieve attention to the reality of the enterprise, in the integration cultural communication in the deep and superficial of corporate culture goals, patterns, content, initiatives aspects of culture, as a bridge of cultural links and and other aspects of the corresponding decision-making, integration, accelerate the process of integration from top by their own influence, by knowledge expertise, to bottom, and through further play their own model management skills and leadership and corporate culture effect, so that all employees are conscious of the cultural integration reform to find out the problems and decisive constraints across them to consolidate the new corporate decision-making, the use of appropriate intervention culture in the fundamental position of the staff. In China's techniques guide the evolution of a favorable occurrence; current corporate restructuring, it is imperative to the leader must also have a "perseverance in the end" of cultivate and strengthen the corporate leaders of the confidence and confidence in the development of the cultural integration of consciousness and ability,and enterprise, determination,and must have this persistence corporate culture integration should be the reorganization and patience.Crporate culture is possible to complete its of entrepreneurs in the business management of the integration tasks and objectives, and only in this way primary task. strengthen the confidence of employees within the In the sense of cultural integration, corporate

Choosing the appropriate the timeless process of a culture from deconstruction to enterprise culture integration model is of vital importance reconstruction, which service for the enterprise. It is not to the success of cultural integration . the product of administrative orders, nor as in the past the Culture note and integration model. Cultural note Cultural Revolution to achieve as a form of movement, refers to the strong culture of the dominant enterprises and it must be in the senior leadership of the support and into the weak enterprises, transformation of the backward promotion, in accordance with its inherent laws and culture of backwardness with advanced strong cultural, characteristics seize the system integration project of the this cultural integration model is suitable for "strong and real, planned, implementation, in order to achieve good weak" corporate restructuring. Such as Qingdao Haier eat results. "shock fish" model, Haier Group mergers and losses of (1) For cultural assessment. Corporate culture as an enterprises, the first is not sent to the marketing staff, but intangible asset, familiar for tangible assets, is also the corporate culture of the staff, including "the user is valuable. Effective development and use of rich cultural always right" service concept, "technician is Eternal assets, can promote the reorganization of enterprises as theme "of the technician concept," everyone is the talent soon as possible get into the virtuous circle of the track. "concept of talent and so on. Due to the injection of Cultural integration must assess the original corporate advanced culture of Haier, the workers and peasants of culture to clarify the future of cultural change and the merged enterprises were soaring, and most of the integration of the general idea. It can set up a cultural merged enterprises could lose profit in one or two assessment team, in-depth study and judge the current years[6]. cultural status of the two companies, the original cultural The model of culture promote the integration. After the characteristics, strength or role. By forming a clear reorganization of enterprises,it must be the advantages of understanding of the original corporate culture, ensure corporate culture into the weak enterprises, but this does the effective integration of cultural work carried out. not mean that the original corporate culture of vulnerable (2) Establish the ideal model for the development of enterprises is useless, and the advantages of enterprise corporate culture. On the basis of a comprehensive culture is perfect. On the contrary, the culture of the assessment of corporate culture, base on the actual disadvantaged enterprises often contains some positive situation of corporate culture,and be good at the future of factors, some may still be the lack of and the need of corporate culture model for scientific design. According corporate culture. Therefore, the reorganization of to the strategic requirements of enterprises,re-link a enterprises should not only pay attention to the culture of number of different cultural quality to form an ideal the advantages of enterprises, but also attach importance cultural model through the way of appropriate merger, to the culture of disadvantaged enterprises to absorb and spin-off, enhance and weaken . Enterprises should boldly integration. To absorb and integrate the disadvantaged break through the traditional cultural potential, learn from enterprises in the excellent cultural factors, which is different enterprises excellent corporate culture, the conducive to the formation of new cultural cooperation. essence of management, innovation those who do not Because in the specific reorganization of the parties, the adapt to the practice of enterprise development,and strength of the strengths and weaknesses of corporate re-design a new corporate culture strategy. culture is always relatively speaking, excellent people (3) Import and implement a new culture. New culture have their shortcomings, the weak has its strengths. For into the enterprise often is accompanied by a larger example, the entrepreneurial spirit of the new business, change initiatives, but also the most prone to intense innovation is often strong, and the fine tradition of old conflict. In the process of the introduction of new culture, enterprises, normative consciousness is often more the implementation of new culture and implantation will prominent. If you can take the length of each family, face a lot of resistance. These resistance can be reflected integration in one, more able to produce a new cultural in individual, organizational, cultural and social aspects. force together, issued a surprising multiplier effect, is Among them, organizational barriers and social barriers bound to reflect a higher level and stronger vitality, and are often open and direct, easier to deal with, managers forms strong corporate centripetal force, cohesion. will soon be able to perceive and formulate Cultural integration and integration model. Cultural corresponding countermeasures. And individual barriers integration is the combination of several well-matched and cultural barriers are potential, or even difficult to corporate culture and form a new culture. Although it can pondering, need to pay more time and effort. The process also find a number of traces of the original culture in the of cultural introduction should be fully aware of these new culture, but this new culture has been different from open and potential resistance, according to the corporate any previous culture. Such as the Shanghai Bell in the culture of the integration model, take a different approach

to import. For example, the use of injection culture form a three-dimensional intertwined network system,and integration model should be used "from the inside out, comprehensive play a useful role. In order to achieve top-down" approach, that is, starting from the concept, more effective management, China's enterprises should and then change the corporate system, corporate image, also pay attention to grasp the following points in the staff style, and finally form a new unified corporate enterprise restructuring of the corporate culture of the culture[7]. management of the practice. (4) The new culture supervision and control. Corporate (1) To carry out extensive, deep and effective culture integration is a long process, it is impossible to communication. Good communication can not only make promote, and the establishment of new culture also need information exchange quickly, but also can find to continue to strengthen. The new culture should be contradictions in time to eliminate the conflict which is a deeply rooted, and the main problem lies in the medicine to overcome the instability . Strengthen maintenance, adjustment and control of the cultural communication, strengthen the mutual recognition transformation and integration of the results will be between enterprises and employees, cultivate the sense of further consolidated and deepened belonging of employees, enhance staff loyalty, which is The implementation of the new culture monitoring, we the enterprise and staff to "deep integration" is a very need to do the following work: determine the progress important part. The new corporate culture to be and extent of the implementation of new culture,judge the recognized by all staff must be achieved through promotion of new culture from the focus of the communication and communication. In the integration of implementation of cultural integration and the elements corporate culture, you can appoint a person in charge of of the cultural elements , through the goal and the status communication is responsible for the smooth promotion quo, it can be the speed of cultural integration to achieve of cultural integration process. First, through the the desired goal of information; focus on the enterprise's high-level, especially the key business communication, ideological dynamics, through seminars, research and for the cultural integration to reach a consensus; the other methods to understand the real state of thinking of second is through the leadership and business staff enterprises, because the new members of the enterprise communication, cultural integration and work plan dynamics to a large extent reflect the degree of information passed to the staff to create a sense of integration of the old and new culture, and even fairness and open atmosphere, contact feelings, to indicatest some new developments in the enterprise, such eliminate their reorganization and integration of the as the upgrading of cultural conflict, the new culture on psychological and pessimistic mood, access to their the target deviation and other tendencies; continue to spiritual and action support. To this end, enterprises adjust the corporate culture change and integration should establish a communication mechanism of good strategy, according to the results of judgments and communication, communication methods can be observations in a timely manner to adjust the follow-up diversified, such as the regular and irregularly with the corporate culture Integration steps; for the discovery of staff in-depth talks, the purpose is to reach a consensus the problem, take timely and effective measures to for the smooth development of enterprises lay the constantly remove the obstacles in cultural integration, ideological foundation, only fully effective, positive and repeat corrective behavior deviation until the staff can frank communication, in order to eliminate the doubts consciously follow the new culture. between each other and the sense of pressure, reduce friction, improve the sense of identity, and ultimately F Make full use of and play the role of management for make the new corporate culture in the reorganization of cultural integration enterprises to grow up. As the corporate culture itself is mainly for the (2) Effectively build the employee's psychological business philosophy, value system and behavioral norms, contract. The psychological contract is a hidden contract rather than a management function. It must be with the between the employee and the enterprise. It includes the various management functions of the enterprise fit relationship between the individual goal of the integration, in the form of ideas and ideas to guide all employee and the goal and commitment of the enterprise aspects of business production and management activities, and the emotional relationship, between the employee and not free from the enterprise management functions and the enterprise. It is difficult to cover with the text, but and the isolation of the operation. Planning, leadership, contains written and non-written, language and coordination, control, innovation and other management non-language staff and the interaction between the functions is the necessary activities to integrate resources, various aspects of the enterprise. This is an important role and from the perspective of corporate culture for the relational repositioning of the relationship management, culture is the management function to between the business and the employee, especially for the integrate one of the main resources. Therefore, the subtle relationship between the person and the official integration of corporate culture must also be coordinated contract. Due to the variability and uncertainty of the with the culture-based, with the concept of integration as integration process, the fear and worry caused by the the focus, through appropriate personnel and employees' minds and the fear that the enterprises after organizational behavior management initiatives to the reorganization do not fulfill their original welfare achieve. As the process of corporate restructuring benefits often cause the crisis of trust. Especially complex and changeable, it determines that the communication is not sufficient, this sense of the vested integration of its cultural management activities should

In the specific structure of the basis of a relatively large impact, and operation should pay attention to: First, we must pay enhance its trend toward the unstable state of change,and attention to create a corporate culture of the integration of weaken the attractiveness of the enterprise. democratic and equal atmosphere. First of all, authorize (3) By the role of informal organizations. Corporate employees to participate in and encourage employees to culture in the formal organization of the existence of participate in the discussion of cultural integration, give communication is often through the rules and regulations, full play to the individual care and trust, and encourage code of conduct, organizational discipline to achieve. On them to discover and spontaneously put forward the the one hand the formal organization ensure the existence corporate culture should improve the place, which is an and dissemination of corporate culture, and make it more effective means to mobilize enthusiasm. Second, we vivid and internal mandatory; on the other hand, the should pay attention to dealing with the issue of fair and formal organization is often lack of flexibility and impartial, non-discriminatory, combined with human flexibility, and sometimes even suppress, which makes development and business development of the fate of the corporate culture Integration in the formal organization of community building, and enhance the sense of the implementation of certain restrictions[8]. responsibility and sense of belonging. Second, we must While the informal organization has a cultural balance carry out systematic corporate culture training. function, so that it has a group of over-maintenance of the Strengthen the staff of different corporate culture, current way of life and have the tendency to take a rigid different corporate culture and the response to the attitude in the face of change. But it also has the function environment and the ability to understand and understand of maintaining the values and lifestyles of the community, the new culture. In particular, let the staff at all levels providing social satisfaction, communicating the system, understand the differences between the original corporate and conducting social control. In addition, it also has the culture and the new corporate culture, and see the ability to reduce the workload of managers, help to advantages of the new corporate culture, so that every complete the task, help to encourage cooperation to fill employee has become independent thinking and the manager's ability to form a kind of employee proactive people. satisfaction with the stable operation of the cooperative In addition, the remodeling of human beings must also groups to provide effective communication channels and be carried out at the same time as the reconstruction of other special role.Then it can be seen that the cultural the system. The system has a strong guiding and integration after the reorganization of the enterprise restraining effect. Through the development of certain should not only be carried out in the formal organization, reward and punishment system and publicity and but also in the informal organization, rather than the education, the system is transformed into the conscious formal organization's attitude towards cultural integration cultural standard of the staff. The process is the and the realization of cultural integration, for the formal unification of ideas and the concept of integration of, but organization of cultural integration crucial role. Therefore, also the organic integration of corporate culture and we should attach importance to the role of informal achieve the process of reconstruction. organizations in the integration of corporate culture and make full use of it.

Abstract—Patent is a key factor in the development of effectively enhance the innovation and competitiveness high-tech industry. Patent data is closely related to the of enterprises. technological innovation capability of pharmaceutical enterprises. Patentsare the foundation of the survival of II. METHOD pharmaceutical enterprises. Basing on the number of patents in the pharmaceutical industry, the core patents Acquire patent data through the patent retrieval system andthe annual growth rate of patents, this paper make an of the State Intellectual Property Office analysis using descriptive statistics methods.Reach a (http://www.sipo.gov.cn/zhfwpt/zljs/), the system uses conclusion, from the number of patents,China’s patents are the International Patent Classification System [1]. The in medium; From theallocation situation of patent technology resources, each category has the different system included the patent data as well as citation data, emphasis, technological innovation capability is relatively family patent data and law state data of 103 countries, good; From theannual change of patents situation, regions and organizations .Chinese and foreign patent performance is not stable. data, updated every Wednesday; Family and legal status data, updated every Tuesday; Citation data, monthly Index Terms—pharmaceutical industry, descriptive update. statistics, patents In order to study the medical situation, the classified category "A61" is carried on the navigation type retrieval. Part A is the necessary for human life; A61 is the medical I. INTRODUCTION or veterinary science; hygiene. A61 consists of 13 small Twenty-first Century is the era of “knowledge classes, namely A61B-A61Q,as shown in figure 1. This economy”, and the core of knowledge economy is paper uses descriptive statistics method to analyzes the technological innovation. Stewart (1997) proposes that patent data reflecting medical and hygiene with the intellectual property is an important component of the removal of A61D that reflects veterinary conditions and core competence of an enterprise. Human’s A61Q for cosmetic make-up products. understanding of disease has gradual developed, the unknown fields and the variation of bacteria and viruses have made the demand for new technologies and new drugs increase continuously. Pharmaceutical enterprises must take technological innovation as the most important part of their development strategy. Patent information is the source of technological innovation, the survival of the pharmaceutical enterprises is the ability to truly master the core technology and whether the core technology can obtain patent protection, patent data and the technological innovation ability of enterprises are related closely. Above 90% and 95% inventions in the world have appeared in the patent literature. Fully use the patent information can save 60% research time and 40% research funding.

The quantity of patents can reflect the vitality of important for evaluating patents by researching patent’s innovation, patent awareness and patent concerns can quality and patent’s value , Carpenter’s research shows reflect the extent of technological innovation activities in that a high cited patent can reflect the importance of the industry and reflect the level of knowledge storage patent technology [3]; Lerner uses the top 4 different IPC [2].By the end of May 2017, from the total amount of classification number to represent the patent technology A61B, there is 2190437 data altogether. Among them, coverage area , the larger coverage area, the more China: 249040 data; The United States: 338891 data; The innovative and higher quality[4]. Schettino’s research British: 23401 data; France: 28315 data; Japan: 566342 about the scope of patent family can reflect the data; Korea: 41071 data; Germany: 106122 data; importance of the invention technology[5]; Ahuja and Switzerland: 3129 data; Russia: 40881 data; Lampert define the patents that are of top 1% citations as EPOA:179707 data; WIPOA:156322 data etc. Among the breakthrough inventions [6]. A61B17 patent numbers them, Japan is the largest one, accounting for about 77358, accounting for 31.1%, A61B5 patent numbers 25.9%, the United States accounted for about 15.5%, 80946, accounting for 32.5%. This shows that key China accounted for about 11.4%. researches and development fields of China's A61B Each patent category has sub categories, sub category focus on A61B5 (Measuring for diagnostic categories are subdivided. And in the patent field, a purposes; Identification of persons) and A61B17 patent can involve several categories. From the analysis (Surgical instruments, devices, or, methods) patent of A61B of China patents, there are 13 sub categories: technology. A61B1-A61B19. A61B, shown in the figure1. according The annual growth rate of patents, it is the to the Brad Ford's law, the high proportion of patents can measurement of national, regional or corporate patent be called the core patent technology, the core patents are application amount (public volume) in a year compared

with the previous year, it is used to measure the eyes in this year [9]. development of technical activities in a year, which shows changes in the technological innovations increase III.CONCLUSION or slow over time[7]. The calculation formula is that the The patent industry in China's pharmaceutical industry annual growth rate of patent = (the number of patents in is booming, new technologies and new products are this year - the number of patents in last year) / the emerging. The quantity and quality of patents have number of patents in last year X100%. improved greatly, and the number of patent applications Because eye tracking and online search are hot topics, [8] Ophthalmology examination equipment has certain has shown an uptrend. From the number of patents, market potential. The class A61B3 is the apparatus for China is in medium, the degree of technical innovation activities is strong; From the allocation situation of testing the eyes; instruments for examining the eyes, patent technology resource, each category has different China contains 6144 patents, including 11 sub categories, emphasis, technology innovation ability is relatively major countries in the world have 89173 of these patents. From the statistics of Chinese A61B3 applicants, Canon good, technology advantages gradually emerge. The Corporation (470), Institute of Optics and Electronics, therapeutic activities of medical, dental, or cosmetic preparations and compounds or pharmaceutical Chinese Academy of Sciences (102) are the main preparations are the key fields of medicine patent applicants, Therefore, there is still a gap between China's technology. From the perspective of the average annual related enterprises and Japan's related enterprises in change of patents, taking class A61B3 as an example, the research and development. From the statistics of Chinese class A61B3 inventors, annual growth rate is unstable. Taking corresponding Yudong Zhang (99), Kang fukuma (50), Wenguang Chen measures against different types of patents are beneficial to improve the efficiency of research and development. (46), Yukio Sakagawa (45), the 4 men have the most patent achievements, it shows the research and development of patents have a team phenomenon, the IV. DISCUSSION experienced person leads the new hand, and it has In general, the more comprehensive the analysis, the continuity, and it present a phenomenon that many of richer the conclusion will be. About patent retrieval data, patents in this type are applied by Japanese experts in it can obtained from the patent retrieval system of the China. Since the data of 2017 is not completely counted, State Intellectual Property Office and other National remove the data of 2017 and the data before 2008, Bureau of patent search entrance, such as the online according to statistics published on the publication patent patent search of American patent and Trademark Office, day, the growth rate of China's class A61B3 is as shown the online patent search of Japan Patent Office (English in table 1: Edition), the online patent search of Korea Intellectual Property Bureau, the online patent search of European TABLE 1 Patent Office, the online patent search of World GROWTH RATE OF CHINA'S CLASS A61B3 Intellectual Property Organization. In addition, some year Quantity (unit) Growth rate(%) organizations have integrated open source patent data, 2017 251 such as the world patent database for traditional drugs (WTM) ,developed by Beijing East Linden Science & 2016 1141 31.00% Technology Co. Ltd, includes more than 40 thousand 2015 871 31.37% patent data related to all natural drugs and their extracts 2014 663 17.35% which are based on the traditional Chinese Medicine in 2013 565 3.10% more than 20 countries including China and the United 2012 548 53.50% States, the European Patent Office and the world intellectual property organization since 1985. About 2011 357 15.91% research and development talents. The research of Fred 2010 308 33.33% Pries and others pointed out that universities are 2009 231 10.00% important resources for inventions [10]. Therefore, we 2008 210 should pay attention to the university cultivation of

Abstract—Freight ton-kilometers is the product of shipment formulate economic development strategy and quantity multiplied by shipment distance, which, compared investment budget of logistics construction(Cui Shudan, with the shipment quantity, can better reflect the 2008.). development as well as the scale of logistics in a region. The paper is a study of the interrelations among the six influence factors of 21 cities in Guangdong province, II. METHODS namely, freight ton-kilometers and cities GDP, fiscal budget, The domestic researchers generally take the method of gross retail sales of social consumption, cities household OLS (ordinary least square) to analyze freight savings, cities total import volume and cities total export ton-kilometers and its influence factors (Liang Xin, volume. It can be seen that the degree of influence displays differently in accordance to both high-level and low-level Wang Qianfeng, 2010), but OLS can merely explain the quantile models via Quantile Regression Analysis, otherwise influence the independent variable exerts on the via the conventional OLS (Ordinary Least Square) it can’t dependent variables in conditional distribution(in other achieve the same. The study of freight ton-kilometers words, in normal distribution) rather than comprehensive related to the six influence factors mentioned above helps to influence on varied dependent variables. To study the acquire not only the knowledge of the structure and extreme case in skewed distribution, this paper adopts situation of the cargo market, but that of regional economic the Quantile Regression Model put forward by Roger development in order to make a strategic decision and Koenker and Gilbert Bassett in 1978 to analyze the policy for the economic development in a better fashion. freight ton-kilometers together with its six influence

Contrast to the traditional mean-oriented analysis, Impact Degree, Quantile Regression, Guangdong Province the quantile regression is able to explain the different marginal effects with different quantiles, hence to avoid the limitation of mean marginal effects. I. INTRODUCTION Generally speaking, the application of quantile regression method abroad is more frequent and earlier In recent years, China's logistics industry has than that of China (Frederick, Wiseman, Sangit, developed rapidly, with diverse logistics enterprises Chatterjee, 2010). However, in recent years an increasing progressively springing up. However, compared with the number of domestic scholars have been tending to apply advanced logistics technology and excellent logistics the method in various fields including finance, service of foreign developed countries, the service and economics, medicine, etc. (Liang Lizhen, 2008), and efficiency of that in China keep rather defective. In terms now the method begins to be introduced into the logistics of the proportion of logistics costs to the country's GDP, industry to study freight ton-kilometers. China's near 17% of GDP is higher than the world average of about 5%. Also, the logistics cost in China III. EMPIRICAL RESEARCH seems quite high compared with the 8% of the US logistics cost and 11% of Japan, which restricts the A. Sample Data economic development of China (Nie Zhengyan, 2015). The data are collected from the official statistics report This paper targets 21 cities of Guangdong, a major Guangdong Statistical Almanac in Guangdong statistical economy in China. Considering freight ton-kilometers as information network, with the incomplete or missing a dependent to study the influence factors of logistics data of city and year excluded. The paper finally selects development, the author hopes to further explore how the the data of 21 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong six factors (Fan Yuejiao, 2014) influence freight Province during 2001-2015 as the empirical data. 7 ton-kilometers in different regions with kinds of logistics categories are classified, and they separately are freight scale so that the local decision makers can better ton-kilometers, GDP, fiscal budget, gross retail sales of

quantile regression model is lower than the that by the OLS model. The significance level of the medium component continues to rise and manages to exceed that of the OLS model when reaching the high level quantile phase. At this point, the impact of OLS on total import volume is underestimated. The last one, chart 6 is the model of total export volume (X6), and the trend of the quantile regression is opposite to that of imports, showing a decreasing tendency. In the low level quantile, the impact of total export volume estimated by the quantile regression is greater than that of OLS, which is confirmed that OLS underestimates its impact. The curve decreases gradually Table 6 in the medium level quantile.

The paper assumes that it is level quantile has a rapid decreasing tendency, indicating because the regions with low freight ton-kilometers are that the effect of quantile regression on independent incomplete in logistics infrastructure in the early stages variable GDP is increasingly underestimated. At this of economic development with infrequent trade point, OLS will overestimate the impact of GDP, exchanges. If the government can increase the resulting in deviations from results. expenditure of infrastructure in these areas and formulate Chart 2 demonstrates the model of fiscal budget (X2), economic and trade policies to promote the local and it can be seen that the curve of quantile regression economy, it will also be of great help to the local mostly distributes in OLS confidence interval except that logistics industry. As for the retail sales of social of the quantile phase of 0.2-0.6 has exceeded the consumption, it is suggested to increase accompanied confidence interval of OLS, which indicates that in the with household savings to stimulate the purchasing OLS model, the influence of fiscal budget in the low power of the society, or to stimulate social consumption level quantile is underestimated. by innovating the consumption patterns . In Chart 3, the curve of quantile regression of gross Total import as well as export volumes produce great retail sales of consumption (X3) is quite different from influence on freight ton-kilometers in both medium and that of the OLS line. In the quantile phase 0.0-0.8, the high level quantile. This paper holds the opinion that OLS is much overrated. In the phase of quantile 0.8-1.0, areas with large amount of imports shows great demand, the slope of the curve increases suddenly, and the and thus expands the demand for domestic logistics, and overestimation of OLS becomes smaller and smaller. then freight ton-kilometers will also increase Chart 4 shows that the curve of household savings (X4) correspondingly. The factors that affect imports includes is close to the OLS line in both the low level and the rising exchange rate of renminbi, the increasing medium level quantiles, indicating the similar estimated demand for cheaper imported goods and the increase of results of quantile regression and OLS at this stage. disposable incomes of household. A larger amount of However, in the phase of high level quantile, the quantile exports means a larger quantity of goods shipped abroad, regression curve gradually rises and even extends beyond resulting in a greater demand for logistics.

Abstract—Corporate overseas videos play an important role and establish good corporate image overseas. Culture is for companies to promote their products abroad. This paper diverse. Different regions and countries have different explores how the corporate overseas videos adapt to other culture, so if the company wants to let their products culture. A bridge has been built between cross-culture theory known and accepted by foreigners, their culture should be and linguistic theory in this paper. Hall’s model and known in advance, which is cross-culture communication. multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) are applied in this paper as theoretical framework. It reveals that the corporate If the producers make the corporate video adapting to the overseas promotional video is a cross-culture production in culture of the target country, the consumers will get a intercultural communication (ICC), so its contents must better understanding of the product. If not, the company adapt to the target country’s culture. By analyzing the fails to take full advantage of the corporate video. So, it is interactive meaning shown in the videos, the paper illustrates useful and meaningful to study how to make a good how video producers practice MDA into promotion. corporate video.

The customers and arouse their consuming desires after each improvement of film and television techniques diversifies viewer’ own individual discursive analysis of the ads. advertising promotional techniques, among which The present studies mainly focus on national or city’s corporate promotional video is the preferred way of publicity films, there are not much research pays attention shaping corporate brands, widely used in many companies to corporate promotional videos. What’s more, most of the to promote the reputation of the enterprises. studies on commercial advertisements look at translation Corporate promotional video only has a history of 30 strategies or pragmatic strategies. They pay more attention years. However, due to its powerful influence, it has on print advertisement. There are a small number of become an indispensable mass communication tool in studies focus on the corporate videos from the angle of companies. The rapid development of economy stimulates culture. Few people study corporate videos from the the development of advertising industry, meanwhile, the perspective of multimodality. This paper combines the creation of corporate promotional video enters to an cross-culture communication theory with multimodality, advanced era. Compared to print advertisements, explores corporate overseas promotional videos from the advertising video, a kind of commercial advertisement, is perspective of cross-culture communication on the basis dynamic and vivid. It can better show the corporate of Hall’s model and from the perspective of social culture through words, voice, pictures, animations and semiotics to find out several useful strategies for special effects. With increasingly frequent economic companies in their process of propaganda, by comparing exchanges among countries, more and more companies Apple’s promotional video, The Song, in China and want to expand their business abroad. Thus, corporate Huawei’s promotional video, Dream It Possible, in promotional videos are adopted by many companies to America. increase brand awareness, build brand competitiveness This paper attempts to answer two questions:

Apple’s promotional video, The Song, in China and Huawei’s promotional video, Dream It Possible, in B. Hall’s model America are collected as the materials used for study. Edward Hall put forward high and low context culture. The Song was released in Feb. 1st, 2015 by Apple, on The work from which Hall (1976) created his model was the eve before Chinese Spring Festival. The plot goes like Beyond Culture. In explaining this model, he defined this: The girl and her grandma live together. The high-context and low-context messages as follows: granddaughter found a long-playing record of her A high-context (HC) communication message is one in grandmother recorded in 1947 when she was cleaning the which most of the information is either in the physical house. So, she decided to rerecord it and added her own context or internalized in the person, while very little is in Cover By Keane with the aid of Apple devices. And she the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message. stored the song in iPad mini to let her grandmother enjoy A low-context (LC) communication is just the opposite; the music. i.e., the mass of the information is vested in the explicit Dream It Possible was released in Oct. 4th, 2016 by code.

HC advertisements prefer to use scene, which can be A. High Context Vs Low Context perceived but cannot be described with words. The 1. Indirect and implicit messages Vs Direct and explicit audience can interpret the meaning of the advertisements messages from the context by means of implicit non-verbal symbols. According to Hall’s model, culture is classified into An inspirational context, a successful story of a dream- high context culture and low context culture. In HC seeking, is built in Dream It Possible. In the video, the culture, the meaning of the information contains in the producers portray an image of a dream-seeker. The words relation between communication environment and in the video contribute to create an atmosphere of striving communication participants. Most of Asian countries for dream but not to the product itself. While The Song belong to HC culture; in low context culture, the meaning also pays attention to context built, it is specially made for of the information can be expressed clearly through HC country, China. It builds the atmosphere of the Spring language without guessing on the basis of cognition. Festival. Chinese people, born in HC environment, are China is a typical high context country so that Chinese good at speculate meanings from contexts. They can prefer to speak in an implicit way. By comparison, easily understand meanings the video wants to express. Americans prefer to speak frankly. They belong to low 3. Collectivistic Vs Individualistic context culture. Therefore, if the corporate overseas From the culture factor, Chinese prefer to stay in groups, promotional videos carry too much implicit information, so they care about their families. However, Americans it is not helpful for the company to promote their products emphasize individualism and appreciate independence to low context countries. In other words, realistic style is and self-improvement. Thus, Chinese customers and more popular than impressionistic style in low context American customers from two different cultures hold countries. different opinions to the corporate videos. HC advertisement is applied in Dream It Possible. In Apple released the corporate video, The Song, a few the whole video, there is no words introducing Huawei P9 days before Spring Festival with theme of family affection. only with a picture of Huawei P9 shown several seconds A warm story between the grandmother and her at the end of the video. The video is about a girl pursuing granddaughter helps Chinese people experience an her music dream, and she succeeded, which implies the emotional communication. The contents of the video growth of Huawei. Many American audience feel touched indicate that American producers are very familiar with after watching the video. According to the comments from Chinese traditional culture. Chinese people stress on YouTube and Twitter, many netizens compliment that the family, so The Song is a very successful promotional video video is an amazing piece of art or a touching story. They because it grasps Chinese the softest place of their hearts, can understand the story, but they have no idea about the family, which can touch Chinese deeply. product. Many people even do not know it is a corporate American culture is individually oriented stressing promotional video. They think it is an inspirational micro independence. Self-development is emphasized. Dream It film, a kind of chicken soup. The reason is that the video Possible tells a story about a girl’s persistence of dream- is too implicit to understand for the people from LC seeking, implying the development of Huawei, from a cultures. small company to one of the world's top 500 companies, Compared with Dream It Possible, The Song does which does conform with American culture. The better in acculturation. High context advertisement is also combination of the products and the target country’s applied in The Song, but it is specially made for Chinese culture is helpful to resonate with customers and promote people. From beginning to end, there is also no words products easily. promoting Apple products. The company released this video a few days before Spring Festival. What’s more, the B. Multimodal Discourse Analysis & Culture Reflection story in the video is also closely related to Spring Festival, Social semiotic theory plays an important role in which can resonate Chinese customers. And The Song multimodal discourse analysis, which studies the made by the granddaughter is with the help of Apple contributions and interactions of linguistic and non- products. From the contents of the video, we can see that linguistic modes. Corporate videos are multimodal the producers have a good mastery of Chinese culture. systems with words, sound, colorful images and gestures. They do not give detailed information of the products, but Kress and Van Leeuwen's (1996) framework documents skillfully embedding the products in Chinese traditional Halliday’s three metafunctions of language: the systems festival, which can better touch hearts of Chinese of meanings for the ideational, interpersonal and textual, customers. However, Huawei failed to make the video which are respectively labeled as representational, adapt to American culture. The story is also very moving, interactive and compositional. A successful advertisement but it is not suitable to HC cultures. It is too implicit. is a fine representation of the combination of verbal and Unlike Chinese, Americans prefer to see something in visual semiotic mode. The major aim of making corporate details. They are willing to be shown explicit information videos is to promote products, which is a type of of products. It is pity that Americans cannot understand interaction with customers. Interactional meanings enable the connotation of the video. customers to negotiate social relations and express

attitudes. This part concentrates on interactional meaning of the two videos. 1. Images & Colors

This is a long-playing record of the girl’s grandmother. From the screenshot, we can find Chinese traditional character ‘shi’, which shows the carefulness of the producers. And the gap between customers and enterprises will be narrowed by this way.

The above four pictures are the screenshots of The Song. The video starts with alleys, bicycles, daffodils, a phonograph and an old house, which bring people into old memories. What’s more, bright colors are not adopted in the video, which helps to create reminiscent atmosphere. Both the images and colors of the video cater to Chinese Compared with The Song with the theme of family people’s nostalgic feelings. affection, Dream It Possible portrays a story of growth and persistence. The first two pictures show the growth of the girl, which implies the development of Huawei. What’s more, bright colors adopted in the first two pictures imply the bright future of the company. The last two pictures show the hard-working of the girl with the words on the wall like “Never quit”, “Dream it” and

“Never stop” and the subtitle “When you dream come alive, you’re unstoppable” and the stave pasted on the mirror, all of which suggests the girl’s persistence on her way of dreaming. The girl’s diligence and self- improvement symbol the company’s spirits, and also in accordance with American individualistic culture. 2. The Combination of Products and Culture However, Huawei is barely satisfactory in this point. In the whole video, Huawei P9 only flashes for one second. The video overemphasizes the integrity of the story, but neglects the promotion of the product, which will make customers feel ambiguous. 3. Size of Frame & Social Distance Another dimension to the interactive meanings of images, related to the ‘size of frame’, to the choice among close-up, medium shot and long shot, and so on. In In everyday interaction, social relations determine the distance we keep from one another. Edward Hall (1966) has shown that we carry with us a set of invisible boundaries beyond which we allow only certain kinds of people to come. With these differences correspond different fields of vision. At intimate distance, we see the face and head only. At close personal distance, we take in the head and the shoulders. At far personal distance, we see the other person from the waist up. At close social distance, we see whole figure. At far distance, we seen the whole figure with space around it. China is HC culture. Thus, close-up is applied in The Song to reduce the distance between customers. And the product can be seen clearly in close-up shot.

V. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION Several strategies can be summarized after the comparison and analysis of the videos. Firstly, it is necessary for companies to make corporate overseas videos adapting to the culture of the target country. Respect is the premise and foundation of communication. Respecting other countries’ culture patterns and There is no doubt that, while promoting the corporate communicating information as their patterns doesn’t mean culture, the aim of making corporate videos is to condescending to their culture, but acculturation. The Song made by Apple sets a good example for other promote products. Thus, it is important to embed the companies. For HC cultures, HC advertisements should products properly into videos. Apple does it skillfully. be made, and vice versa. Whereas if the company makes The granddaughter rerecorded her grandma’s record HC corporate videos for LC countries, which not only can with aid of MacBook and stored the music into iPad, not make contributions to the promotion, but also causing and finally her grandmother listened the music by some negative effects. Secondly, corporate promotional means of Apple earpods. What’s more, from the second videos are multimodal discourse with images, sounds, screenshot, we can see that the photo between colors and gestures, so good integration between the grandmother and granddaughter is shown on the screen, contents of the video and culture will make the video more which bonds the product and Chinese culture, family perfect. If the theme of the video is reminiscence, the main complex together. In the last picture, grandmother color should not be bright. The aim of making enjoys the music happily with her hand touching her promotional videos is to promote products, so the products granddaughter’s face. It’s really a warm picture. must be shown in the video whatever in HC cultures or in LC cultures. In HC cultures, the video can focus on contexts. But in LC cultures, the video should concentrate on the products. Finally, companies can invite the experts from the target country to take part in video production because they are more familiar with their local culture.
