Seismometer Orientation Measurements of Broadband Seismic Stations in the China Digital Seismograph Network

ABSTRACT The China Digital Seismograph Network, one of the largest national seismic networks, has been operating for over four decades which provides valuable seismic data for various scientific studies. Our investigation gathered a comprehensive dataset comprising 5,456,816 three-component waveforms from 3187 seismic events that took place over nine years (2014–2022). We assessed sensor orientations at 1056 broadband stations using the P-wave polarization method. Together with our calculation results, operation and maintenance log of regional networks, on-site checking, and manual inspection, we identified and addressed issues related to temporal changes of orientation, polarity reversal, and channel mislabeling. We found that ∼65.8% of seismometers (694) were well aligned with the absolute misorientation angle ≤3°, 20.8% of seismometers (220) were fairly well aligned with the absolute misorientation angle lying between 3° and 10°, 3.6% (38) of seismometers were misaligned exceeding 10°, and 9.8% of seismometers (104) showed a temporal variation in alignment. The fairly high consistency between our numerical results and gyrocompass measurements confirms the reliability of our investigation. We further compared the results of P-wave receiver functions analysis before and after sensor orientation correction. The findings indicate that sensor misorientation angles may lead to inaccurate and unstable seismological results. Therefore, conducting a systematic assessment, diagnosis, and correction for sensor orientation would be beneficial for advancing seismological analysis by promoting consistency, efficiency, accuracy, collaboration, reproducibility, and adaptability in data processing and interpretation.

Can the Phenomenon of Automobile Electrification be transformed into the Development Direction of the Automobile Industry?

Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung Show in 2023 just came to an end. In April, 2024, German Federal Chancellor Scholz led a huge business delegation to visit China (China Digital Space, 2024) Germany, which has always been proud of the automobile industry and technology, has caused a heated discussion about the development direction of the automobile industry from professional automobile media to online self-media[2]. As an international student studying advanced business management expertise in Germany, the author is curious about this changes. In particular, the latest media reports show that Apple has given up pushing forward the car-building project for nearly 10 years. Subsequently, Källenius, Chairman and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Group, also said that Mercedes-Benz would no longer adhere to the original goal of fully turning to electric vehicle sales in major markets by 2030. Previously, Mercedes-Benz's pursuit of motorization was fanatical. In 2021, Mercedes-Benz proposed an all-electric strategy. The goal is that the sales of all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will reach 50% by 2025. Starting from 2030, Mercedes-Benz will be basically transform into an all-electric vehicle. These developments once again aroused the author's interest in whether motorization will become the development direction of the automobile industry. Hegel, a German philosopher, once pointed out in Science of Logic that existence is a phenomenon but it is not an illusion. Illusion corresponds more to existence, and phenomenon is higher than existence with richer connotation, because phenomenon contains its own reflection and reflection of other things, and phenomenon itself also has its own internal stability contradiction. Germany is a country of rational speculation, and the appearance of any phenomenon will not affect the Germans' thinking and exploration of its essence. Similarly, from the perspective of subjective feeling and rational analysis, this paper will try to discuss the change of German automobile consumption trends from the perspective of commercial marketing, and then prove the inherent logic of some industry behind the trend. With interest in learning and thinking, the author tried to drive a fuel-powered car and an electric car by himself. One is a German Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 manufactured and sold in China. This car is very popular among middle class consumers in China. Another model that I test drive is the M9, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2023. It was jointly developed by Huawei, a network intelligent terminals supplier in China, Energy storage battery maker called Ningde Times and Seres Veicles. According to the report of China's mainstream media, China National Radio Network, on March 19,2024, the media once again held the top five positions of luxury brands with a weekly sales volume of 86,000 vehicles, and tried out two models. Another market factor is that the sales price of these two models are in the range of 500 thousand to 600 thousand RMB.

Research on Yaowang Temple based on local chronicles of Henan

By looking up the local chronicles of the China Digital Chronicles Database and the China Chronicles Database, it was found that there are 450 kinds of local chronicles in Henan, of which 45 contain Yaowang Temple.According to these 45 kinds of local Chronicles, it can be seen that a total of 35 Yaowang temples were built in 25 counties (cities) of Henan, mostly distributed in the west, north and south of Henan, especially in the west. Among them, eight Yaowang temples recorded the construction time, from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, but most of them were built in the Qing Dynasty. There are records of the builders of the 8 Yaowang Temples, most of whom were local government officials. Qi Bo, Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Sun Simiao and Wei Cizang were recorded as Yaowang in three places, and Sun Simiao was enshrined in two of them. The architectural pattern of Yaowang Temple varies greatly from three courtyards to natural caves. Local chronicles contain all kinds of legends and stories about the Yaowang, which is a concrete embodiment of the belief in Yaowang. The belief in Yaowang not only carries people's thirst for health, but also prays for good weather.

Research on the Effect of China's Digital Economy on Global Value Chain

It is a fact that as a result of the developing new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, nations all over the world must concentrate on the digital economy if they are to seize new opportunities for development and establish new competitive advantages. Businesses now face possibilities and difficulties as they deal with a new cycle of global value chain reconfiguration. The integration of digital technology has changed how individuals participate in global value chains and how they are geographically organized. As a new economic structure, it can encourage a significant driving force for economic and social progress and is a key factor in altering a nation's competitiveness. Additionally, it dramatically alters the geographical configuration of the value chain's division of labor to facilitate the growth of digitization, services, disintermediation, and manufacturing customization. This paper examines the status of China today, the participation and development of the digital economy, as well as the role and impact of the digital economy on China's global value chain.

Examining the Impact of China's Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions Intensity: Mechanisms, Regional Variations, and Policy Implications

Reducing carbon emissions is imperative for achieving sustainable development. Given China's rapid growth in its digital economy, it is necessary to explore the impact of digital economy on emissions intensity. This study employs China’s provincial panel data and uses the fixed effect model to examine this impact. The results reveal that digital economy can drop carbon emissions intensity, and the finding remains robust after conducting various endogeneity treatments and sensitivity analyses. This study also explores the mechanisms underlying this effect and finds that the expansion of the digital economy reduces carbon emissions intensity by enhancing green innovation capacity and promoting economic agglomeration. Additionally, we consider electricity consumption of digital economy, and the analysis reveals regional heterogeneity, with the emissions intensity reduction effect being significantly stronger in regions with green power generation compared to non-green power generation regions.

Research on factors influencing the academic entrepreneurial ability of teachers in the digital age: Evidence from China

In the contemporary digital economy, economic development increasingly relies on the innovation and dissemination of knowledge. Academic entrepreneurship, as a direct channel for knowledge dissemination into the marketplace, is significantly influenced by digital technology. Consequently, how to improve academic entrepreneurial ability has become a hot research topic. This study is grounded in the theory of reciprocal determinism within the context of the digital economy. We use the “2019 China Digital Economy Development Index White Paper” and collect data from 1843 survey questionnaires in China to conduct empirical research with a ridge regression model. It primarily focuses on the following individual factors and social environmental factors on academic entrepreneurial ability of teachers (AEAT): digital economy (DE), organizational support (OS), policy environment (PE), and personal learning growth (PLG). First, the findings show that the DE, OS, PE, and PLG have a significant positive impact on improving AEAT. Second, the results also indicate that social environmental factors relative to personal factors will have a greater impact. Finally, this study not only presents the first attempt to establish a connection between DE and AEAT but also holds significant managerial implications for enhancing AEAT within the context of the DE. Despite the increasing body of literature on academic entrepreneurship, the research domain pertaining specifically to AEAT remains fragmented and lacks comprehensive theoretical development. There is a pressing need for more systematic and thorough investigations to unveil the black box of factors influencing AEAT in the context of the DE.
