In the context of unprecedented development in China and recent challenges in western economtes, largely attributed to the way governments regulate the business enwonments in these countries, thts d1ssertat1on comparatively examines China's and Untied States' development models with focus on the government-enterprise (G-E) relattonshlp The aim of this comparlson ts to provide a solid theoretical foundation for evaluattng the compet1ng claims of superiority of one model over the other, and to formulate 1nsights for an improved understanding of the G-E relationship In general. Based on an interdisciplinary comparattve study of the two countries' G-E relationship systems, thts dtssertallon demonstrates that the G-E relationship is an historically path-dependent phenomenon both tn Ch1na and the United States, with institutional and ideological factors playing an essential role in the G-E relationship in both countries. The analysis of the two systems leads to the conclusion that China and the Untied States each have certam advantages and diSadvantages with regard to their G-E relationship models, making it impossible to clatm the superionty of one model over the other However. the analysts presented 1n this d1ssertat1on reveals that the G-E relationship in general I can be improved through a contingent approach aimed at achieving a dynamic balance between the state and the market. The specific theoretical contnbut1on consists tn showing how the historical context of a country. including particular institutional pressures and ideological tradlttons may shape the G-E relationship, while also being the source of potentialtmbalances that must be correctly assessed before recommendtng any adaptive measures. While analysing the G-E relationship In China and the United States. this thesis moves the conversatton from 1 contrasting country models to acknowledging the value of both market forces and state control when thetr use ts · consistent with the specific htstorical.

Without their assistance, especially their knowledge and academic insights, I could not have completed it. Now that the end of my doctoral study is within view, it is time to express my appreciation to my supporters. First of all, I want to express the highest appreciation to my supervisor, Dr. Dan V. Caprar. He showed faith in my academic potential and capacity and provided strong support for obtaining a full scholarship, which was essential to my ability to complete my studies in Australia. As a supervisor, Dr. Caprar not only imparted important academic knowledge and taught me critical research skills, with great patience, but also offered me considerable substantial and emotional support when I faced challenges and difficulties for various reasons. He spent a great deal of time on this dissertation, giving me very detailed and practical guidance and comments. Certainly, I could not have finished this dissertation without his seemingly endless patience, guidance, help and support. In the University of New South Wales, several other persons have been important for finishing this research. My co-supervisor, Professor Lex Donaldson, encouraged me to pursue the theoretical research, and discussions with him were always inspiring and helpful. His diligence and reputation have also encouraged me to be a good scholar, and will continue to influence me in my future career. Professor Christopher Jackson, formerly Postgraduate Research Coordinator and now Head of School, gave his very i powerful support to my scholarship application and also to the extension of the scholarship, although he did not know me very well and (I regret) we seldom had the opportunity to speak together. Associate Professor Markus Groth and Dr. Sunghoon Kim, members of my annual review committee, were both very kind, and showed much concern about my progress. In particular, Dr. Kim made some valuable suggestions for research. Over the past four years, I have come to owe a great deal to some real friends who gave me their generous help and support. I received powerful academic support from Ms. Tianyue Ma. She spent a lot of time reading and commenting on my drafts. In particular, her knowledge and training in sociology helped me enormously. Dr. Nanfeng Luo has always been reliable whenever I needed his help with various aspects of my research. Specifically, he read through the early drafts of this dissertation, and provided a host of useful and critical comments for the revisions. In addition, I often discussed academic questions with Associate Professor Feng Tao, and he provided me with insightful comments on some of my research papers related to this dissertation. I am truly indebted to Ms. Sailuan Fan and her husband Mr. Kongjun Wang. They have supported me consistently in both financial and emotional ways since my undergraduate days. Special thanks must go to Ms. Yingkai Li who always encouraged and consoled me through the difficult final stage of the writing. I am also very grateful to many family members for their unconditional love and help in my life. My late grandfather Mr. Zaiming Sheng loved me very much, and always encouraged me to study hard. Unfortunately, he passed away when I was in primary ii school, but I think he would be very happy if he knew of my academic progress. I spent most of my childhood with my maternal grand-mother Ms. Juxiu Zhang. She took great care of me, and also taught me many invaluable life lessons through her varied, interesting and meaningful stories.

  • Nonabelian Hodge Theory in Positive Characteristic Via Exponential Twisting Guitang Lan, Mao Sheng and Kang Zuo
    Math. Res. Lett. Volume 22, Number 3, 859–879, 2015 Nonabelian Hodge theory in positive characteristic via exponential twisting Guitang Lan, Mao Sheng and Kang Zuo Let k be a perfect field of positive characteristic and X a smooth algebraic variety over k which is W2-liftable. We show that the exponent twisiting of the classical Cartier descent gives an equiva- lence of categories between the category of nilpotent Higgs sheaves of exponent ≤ p over X/k and the category of nilpotent flat sheaves of exponent ≤ p over X/k, by showing that it is equivalent up to sign to the inverse Cartier and Cartier transforms for these nilpo- tent objects constructed in the nonabelian Hodge theory in positive characteristic by Ogus-Vologodsky [10]. In view of the crucial role that Deligne-Illusie’s lemma has ever played in their algebraic proof of E1-degeneration of the Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence and Kodaira vanishing theorem in abelian Hodge theory, it may not be overly surprising that again this lemma plays a significant role via the concept of Higgs-de Rham flow [8] in establishing a p- adic Simpson correspondence in the nonabelian Hodge theory and Langer’s algebraic proof of Bogomolov inequality for semistable Higgs bundles and Miyaoka-Yau inequality [9]. 1. Introduction Let k be a perfect field of positive characteristic and X a smooth algebraic variety over k. We have the following commutative diagram of Frobenii F π X X/k - X - X - ? ? σ Spec k - Spec k, This work is supported by the SFB/TR 45 ‘Periods, Moduli Spaces and Arith- metic of Algebraic Varieties’ of the DFG.

The results indicate that the fractal scales calculated from Detrended Fluctuation Analysis(DFA) are robust with respect to variation in noise level. Based on the conductance fluctuating signals measured from vertical gas-liquid two phase flow experiment, we calculate the fractal scales of five typical flow patterns. The results show that when the water superficial velocity ranging from 0.0453ms-1 to 0.226 ms-1 and the gas superficial velocity ranging from 0.0043ms-1 to 3.43 ms-1, the values of the fractal scale of bubble flow are lowest corresponding to the random complex dynamic behavior, while the values of slug flow are highest corresponding to the alternatively periodic motions between gas slug and liquid slug, and the values of churn flow lies between them indicating the relatively complex dynamic behavior. Our main result is that the fractal scales obtained from conductance fluctuating signals can not only effectively characterize the dynamic characteristics of gas-liquid two phase flow patterns, but also further provide valuable reference for understanding the transitions of different gas-liquid two phase flow patterns.

  • Application of Bayesian Network in Production Line System Reliability Analysis
    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 162 3rd International Conference on Advances in Materials, Mechatronics and Civil Engineering (ICAMMCE 2018) Application of Bayesian network in Production Line System Reliability Analysis Zhai Sheng Dalian Institute of Science and Technology, P.R. China [email protected] *Zhai Sheng Keywords: Bayesian network, Multi-failure mode, Reliability analysis, Production line. Abstract. Considering the multi-state and uncertainty of causality in complex systems, a method for reliability modeling and assessment of a multi-state system based on Bayesian Network (BN) is proposed by using the advantage of uncertainty reasoning and multi-state expression of BN. The proposed method is able to identify the system weakness through calculating the system reliability on the basis of multi-state probabilities of elements. The model is applied to a production line system to verify its effectiveness. 1. Introduction With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, the equipment systems are becoming more and more complex. Faced with increasingly complex systems, the requirements for system reliability analysis are getting stringent. Cell production line is a complex system of mechanical, electrical and liquid coupling with complex structures and many components. The multi-states are presented in the system and components. The failure modes are diverse, dependent and uncertain, which make the application of the traditional reliability theory restricted a lot. For this reason, Xue[1]and Liu[2] studied the application of fault tree method from the two-state system to the multi-state system. Wang et al. [3] analyzed the reliability of multi-state system by using fault tree. These methods broaden the range of traditional reliability analysis methods, but the fundamental problems are not solved.

  • Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China
    Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China Noga Ganany Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Noga Ganany All rights reserved ABSTRACT Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late Ming China Noga Ganany In this dissertation, I examine a genre of commercially-published, illustrated hagiographical books. Recounting the life stories of some of China’s most beloved cultural icons, from Confucius to Guanyin, I term these hagiographical books “origin narratives” (chushen zhuan 出身傳). Weaving a plethora of legends and ritual traditions into the new “vernacular” xiaoshuo format, origin narratives offered comprehensive portrayals of gods, sages, and immortals in narrative form, and were marketed to a general, lay readership. Their narratives were often accompanied by additional materials (or “paratexts”), such as worship manuals, advertisements for temples, and messages from the gods themselves, that reveal the intimate connection of these books to contemporaneous cultic reverence of their protagonists. The content and composition of origin narratives reflect the extensive range of possibilities of late-Ming xiaoshuo narrative writing, challenging our understanding of reading. I argue that origin narratives functioned as entertaining and informative encyclopedic sourcebooks that consolidated all knowledge about their protagonists, from their hagiographies to their ritual traditions. Origin narratives also alert us to the hagiographical substrate in late-imperial literature and religious practice, wherein widely-revered figures played multiple roles in the culture. The reverence of these cultural icons was constructed through the relationship between what I call the Three Ps: their personas (and life stories), the practices surrounding their lore, and the places associated with them (or “sacred geographies”).

Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.

  • A Lefschetz Theorem for Crystalline Representations
    A LEFSCHETZ THEOREM FOR CRYSTALLINE REPRESENTATIONS RAJU KRISHNAMOORTHY, JINBANG YANG, AND KANG ZUO Abstract. As a corollary of nonabelian Hodge theory, Simpson proved a strong Lef- schetz theorem for complex polarized variations of Hodge structure. We show an arith- metic analog. Our primary technique is p-adic nonabelian Hodge theory. 1. Introduction An easy corollary of Simpson’s nonabelian Hodge theorem is the following. Theorem 1.1. [Sim92, Corollary 4.3] Let X and Y be smooth projective complex vari- eties, and let f : Y → X be a morphism that induces a surjection: f∗ : π1(Y ) ։ π1(X). Let L be a C-local system on X such that f ∗L underlies a complex polarized variation of Hodge structures on Y . Then L under lies a complex polarized variation of Hodge structures on X. As Simpson notes, this is especially useful when Y is the smooth complete intersection of smooth hyperplane sections of X. This article is concerned with an arithmetic analog of Theorem 1.1. In this setting, the condition that L underlies a complex polarized variation of Hodge structures is replaced by the condition that L is a (log) crystalline representation. To state this precisely, we need the following notation. ∼ Setup 1.2. Let k = Fq be a finite field of odd characteristic, let W := W (k) be the ring of Witt vectors, and let K := Frac(W ) be the field of fractions. Let X/W be a smooth projective scheme of relative dimension at least 2. Let S ⊂ X be a strict normal crossings divisor, flat over W .
