  • Accurately Predicting Heat Transfer Performance of Ground-Coupled Heat Pump System Using Improved Autoregressive Model
    Accurately predicting heat transfer performance of ground-coupled heat pump system using improved autoregressive model Zhaoyi Zhuang1, Xinliang Zhai2, Xianye Ben3, Bin Wang1 and Dijia Yuan3 1 College of Thermal Energy Engineering, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan, China 2 School of Electronic lnformation and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China 3 School of Information Science and Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan, China ABSTRACT Nowadays, ground-coupled heat pump system (GCHP) becomes one of the most energy-efficient systems in heating, cooling and hot water supply. However, it remains challenging to accurately predict thermal energy conversion, and the numerical calculation methods are too complicated. First, according to seasonality, this paper analyzes four variables, including the power consumption of heat pump, the power consumption of system, the ratios of the heating capacity (or the refrigerating capacity) of heat pump to the operating powers of heat pump and to the total system, respectively. Then, heat transfer performance of GCHP by historical data and working parameters is predicted by using random forests algorithm based on autoregressive model and introducing working parameters. Finally, we conduct experiments on 360-months (30-years) data generated by GCHP software. Among them, the first 300 months of data are used for training the model, and the last 60 months of data are used for prediction. Benefitting from the working condition inputs it contained, our model achieves lower Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) than Exponential Smoothing (ES), Autoregressive Model (AR), Autoregressive Moving Average Model (ARMA) and Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average Model 3 November 2020 Submitted (ARIMA) without working condition inputs.

  • LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG the CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University William J
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 33.2 ― October 2010 LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG THE CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University Abstract The diversity of Tai languages along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam has long fascinated scholars, and led some to postulate that the original Tai homeland was located in this area. In this article I present evidence that this linguistic diversity can be explained in large part not by “divergent local development” from a single proto-language, but by the intrusion of dialects from elsewhere in relatively recent times as a result of migration, forced trans-plantation of populations, and large-scale military operations. Further research is needed to discover any underlying linguistic diversity in the area in deep historical time, but a prior task is to document more fully and systematically the surface diversity as described by Gedney and Haudricourt among others. Keywords diversity, homeland, migration William J. Gedney, in his influential article “Linguistic Diversity Among Tai Dialects in Southern Kwangsi” (1966), was among a number of scholars to propose that the geographical location of the proto-Tai language, the Tai Urheimat, lay along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam. In 1965 he had 1 written: This reviewer’s current research in Thai languages has convinced him that the point of origin for the Thai languages and dialects in this country [i.e. Thailand] and indeed for all the languages and dialects of the Tai family, is not to the north in Yunnan, but rather to the east, perhaps along the border between North Vietnam and Kwangsi or on one side or the other of this border.

  • Formation of the Traditional Chinese State Ritual System of Sacrifice To
    religions Article Formation of the Traditional Chinese State Ritual System of Sacrifice to Mountain and Water Spirits Jinhua Jia 1,2 1 College of Humanities, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Macau, Macau SAR, China Abstract: Sacrifice to mountain and water spirits was already a state ritual in the earliest dynasties of China, which later gradually formed a system of five sacred peaks, five strongholds, four seas, and four waterways, which was mainly constructed by the Confucian ritual culture. A number of modern scholars have studied the five sacred peaks from different perspectives, yielding fruitful results, but major issues are still being debated or need to be plumbed more broadly and deeply, and the whole sacrificial system has not yet drawn sufficient attention. Applying a combined approach of religious, historical, geographical, and political studies, I provide here, with new discoveries and conclusions, the first comprehensive study of the formational process of this sacrificial system and its embodied religious-political conceptions, showing how these geographical landmarks were gradually integrated with religious beliefs and ritual-political institutions to become symbols of territorial, sacred, and political legitimacy that helped to maintain the unification and government of the traditional Chinese imperium for two thousand years. A historical map of the locations of the sacrificial temples for the eighteen mountain and water spirits is appended. Keywords: five sacred peaks; five strongholds; four seas; four waterways; state ritual system of sacrifice; Chinese religion; Chinese historical geography Citation: Jia, Jinhua. 2021.

  • Appendix 1. a Brief Description of China's 56 Ethnic Groups
    Appendix 1. A Brief Description of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups Throughout history, race, language and religion have divided China as much as physical terrain, political fiat and conquest.1 However, it is always a politically sensitive issue to identify those non-Han people as different ethnic groups. As a result, the total number of ethnic groups has never been fixed precisely in China. For example, in 1953, only 42 ethnic peoples were identified, while the number increased to 54 in 1964 and 56 in 1982. Of course, this does not include the unknown ethnic groups as well as foreigners with Chinese citizenship.2 Specifically, China’s current 56 ethnic groups are, in alphabetical order, Achang, Bai, Baonan, Blang, Buyi, Dai, Daur, Deang, Derung, Dong, Dongxiang, Ewenki, Gaoshan, Gelao, Han, Hani, Hezhe, Hui, Jing, Jingpo, Jino, Kazak, Kirgiz, Korean, Lahu, Lhoba, Li, Lisu, Manchu, 1 The text is prepared by Rongxing Guo based on the following sources: (i) The Ethnic Minorities in China (title in Chinese: “zhongguo shaoshu minzu”, edited by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) of the People’s Republic of China and published in 2010 by the Central Nationality University Press, Beijing) and (ii) the introductory text of China’s 56 ethnic groups (in Chinese, available at http://www.seac.gov.cn/col/col107/index.html, accessed on 2016–06–20). 2 As of 2010, when the Sixth National Population Census of the People’s Republic of China was conducted, the populations of the unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship were 640,101 and 1448, respectively.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.
