现代汉语中"很+VP"结构的再认识

本文尝试以“很+VP”结构为研究对象, 从“VP”涉及的“量”与对应的表达方式以及现代汉语的语言系统两個方面讨论相关问题。首先综合各家研究成果, 尝试按照“VP”能否与其他“很”类（绝对程度副词）搭配以及“VP”中是否强制性出现某些成分两条标准, 将“很+VP”结构中的“VP”重新整理分为A、B两类。 A类结构中無须出现其他限定性成分, 可與其他“很”类副词搭配, 與典型的性质形容词或心理动词相似, 具有较为明显的[+程度性]特征。因而, 这一类“很+VP”结构中的“很”为程度副词, 表示程度高。B类VP结构体现了主观与客观认知或是不同个体认知之间的矛盾, “很”强调当事人或说话人对某个通常的“小量”有强烈的感受。同时, 我们也注意到“很+【V+数量短语】”弥补了汉语系统主观表达形式的不足。 将“很”与出现状语位置的“狠”与“大”相比较, 可以看到他们在语言系统中形成了一定程度的互补分布。

Study on mechanical behaviors of loose mortise-tenon joint with neighbouring gap

The neighbouring gaps at the mortise-tenon joint in traditional timber structure, which leads to the complexity of the joint, are considered to impair the mechanical performance of the joint. In this paper, numerical simulation of loose joint was conducted to examine the deformation states, stress distributions, and bearing capacities, which was verified by full-scale test. On the basis of the experimental and numerical results, a simplified mechanics model with gaps has been proposed to present the bending capacity of the loose joint. Besides, the gap effects and parameter studies on the influences of tenon height, friction coefficient, elastic modulus and axial load were also investigated. As a result, the estimated relationship between moment and rotation angle of loose joint showed the agreement with the numerical results, demonstrating validity of the proposed model; The bending bearing capacity and rotational stiffness of loose joint had a certain drop with the increasing of gaps; and the tenon height may be the most important factor affecting the mechanical behaviors of the joint when it is subjected to repeated load; Research results can provide important references on the condition assessments of the existing mortise-tenon joint.

The Transition of Wartime Operational Control for Entering a New Era

The launch of an ROK-led combined defense system and the transition of wartime operational control (OPCON) will be an epochal moment in the ROK？U.S. alliance and signal the start of a new era. The study provides a historical review of OPCON, addresses the significance of wartime OPCON transition, and examines contending views on the ROK-U.S. command structure. The article analyzes the tenets and roadmap for the OPCON from a tripartite perspective, including citizens, the government, and the military. ROK-U.S. strategic communication and a gradual transition are then discussed. The study concludes by exploring the actualization of a self-reliant national defense as a sovereign state, the commencement of an ROK-led future Combined Forces Command, and mutual relations among ROK JCS, Future CFC, UNC, and USFK, along with policy recommendations.

On Double Narration in Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights is characterized by the narrative mechanisms and techniques it employs. Building on its structure, the novel is obviously rich in its underlying elements that are worth examining. One of these elements is the choice of multiple narrators and the complex organization of narrative time. This theoretical framework deals mainly with narration and narrative techniques as approached by structuralist narratology. As an approach that examines narration and its major hybrids, narratology delves into a structural study of Wuthering Heights allowing for a deep examination of the underlying narrative elements in the novel. Having said that, it is believed that the study of narratology is pertaining in the sense that it sheds light on how the narrative structure of the novel puts into question the status of the narrators as reliable sources. This structure also mystifies the story giving the reader a chance to decipher the intent of the characters involved as both narrators and characters. Without taking such structure into account, the readers are missing some key elements in understanding and interpreting the stories told by the narrators.

A weakly supervised learning method for vehicle identification code detection and recognition

The vehicle identification code (VIN) is of great significance to the annual vehicle inspection. However, due to the lack of character-level annotations, it is impossible to perform the single-character style check on the VIN. To solve this problem, a single-character detection and recognition framework for VIN is designed and a weakly supervised learning algorithm without character-level annotation is proposed for this framework. Firstly, the feature information of each level of VGG16-BN is fused to obtain a fusion feature map with single-character position information and semantic information. Secondly, a network structure for both the character detection branch and the character recognition branch is designed to extract the position and semantic information of a single character in the fusion feature map. Finally, using the text length and single-character category information, the proposed framework is weakly supervised on the vehicle identification code data set without character-level annotations. On the VIN test set, experimental results show that the proposed method realizes the Hmean score of 0.964 and a single-character detection and recognition accuracy rate of 95.7%, showing high practicability.

Design and simulation of bionic compound eye with electrowetting liquid lens

To solve the problem that the bionic compound eye system can't zoom adaptively, a zoomable bionic compound eye system based on electrowetting-on-dielectric liquid lens cambered array is proposed. The influence of the system structure on the imaging performance is analyzed, and the adaptive zoom capability of the system and the moving range of the corresponding image plane are calculated. The results show that the field of view angle increases with the increase of the curvature of the base. Compared with the non-uniform lens array, the uniform lens array can significantly reduce the defocus aberration of the system. Reducing the size of the lens unit can also decrease the defocus aberration of the edge lens. When the object distance or receiver position is changed, the defocus aberration of the system will be reduced by adjusting the focal length of the lens unit. The movable range of the system receiver is 1.9 mm~15 mm.

Neutral phantasies and possible emotions: A phenomenological perspective on aesthetic education

In this paper I draw from Husserl’s lectures on ethics and manuscripts on phantasy to clarify the role and the structure of aesthetic education within a phenomenological theory of value experience. First, I show that Husserl’s take on emotions as material contents of value experiences involves the problem of justifying the validity of the relation between factual emotional states and ideal values. I then suggest, on the basis of some of Husserl’s phenomenological arguments on phantasy, that this discrepancy can be bridged through the enjoyment of art – that is, through a process of aesthetic education. I will focus, as Husserl does, on theatrical art as a case study. My aim is to support the claim that artistic phantasy offers us the possibility of an education of emotions by helping us to progressively explore the eidetic structure of emotional states in their individuality, but regardless of their isolated here and now (that is, of their factual occasionality). The first part of the argument refers mainly to the last chapters of Husserl’s Einleitung in die Ethik (1920/1924). The second part focuses on a 1918 manuscript. I conclude by hinting at how the idea of a phenomenological aesthetic education could help providing a coherent interpretation of Husserl’s ethics, while also contributing to the ongoing debate about fictional objects.

The temporal dynamics of bacteria in the coelomic fluid of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus after evisceration

Sea cucumbers have been emerged as important models to study organ regeneration and development owing to the capacity to regenerate its organs quickly after evisceration. Evisceration is a special defense mechanism for sea cucumber to eject all of internal organs when they encounter predators or adverse environmental conditions. However, little was known about the dynamics of bacterial community in coelomic fluid after evisceration. In the present study, evisceration was induced by intracelomic injection of 0.35 M KCl, and the significantly alternation of bacterial community in coelomic fluid of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus was observed with lower diversity and total bacterial load at 7 dpe (days post evisceration) and 14 dpe. The bacterial community was tended to restore at 28 dpe. In particular, relative abundances of Bacteroidetes and Rubritaleaceae, which involved in degradation of polysaccharides and lipid, increased significantly at 7 dpe (p < 0.05), and returned to the original level at 28 dpe. In addition, the predicted functions of bacterial community indicated that the bacteria associated with metabolism pathways of amino acid, lipid and carbohydrate also increased significantly at 7 dpe. These results suggested that the bacterial community in coelomic fluid of A. japonicus was highly dynamic and could rebuild a stable community structure after evisceration. It was suggested that the enriched metabolic related beneficial bacteria at early stage played a role after evisceration in terms of decomposing polysaccharides and lipid to provide energy.

Analysis and optimization of a typical quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator

To isolate vibration at a low-frequency range and at the same time to provide sufficient loading support to the isolated structure impose a challenge in vibration isolation. Quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator, as a potential solution to the challenge, has been widely investigated due to its unique property of high-static & low-dynamic stiffness. This paper provides an in-depth analysis and potential optimization of a typical QZS vibration isolator to illustrate the complexity and importance of design optimization. By carefully examining the governing fundamentals of the QZS vibration isolator, a simplified approximation of force and stiffness relationship is derived to enable the characteristic analysis of the QZS vibration isolator. The explicit formulae of the amplitude-frequency response (AFR) and transmissibility of the QZS vibration isolator are obtained by employing the Harmonic Balance Method. The transmissibility curves under force excitation with different values of nonlinear coefficient, damping ratio, and amplitude of excitation are further investigated. As the result, an optimization of the structural parameter has been demonstrated using a comprehensive objective function with considering multiple dynamic characteristic parameters simultaneously. Finally, the genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to minimise the objective function to obtain the optimal stiffness ratios under different conditions. General recommendations are provided and discussed in the end.

DEVELOPMENT OF A BOOT-TREE MOLD FOR MANUFACTURING RIDING BOOTS

The production of such footwear as riding boots requires additional equipment like a special mold for the formation of bootlegs, which are made using intermediate frame parts to ensure rigidity and preserving shape. The special mold of riding boots is a stylized shape of the leg from its foot to knee. The lower part corresponding to the shoe last is designed based on the parameters of the average foot, taking into account the requirements of biomechanics, physiology, and aesthetic features of the shoe style. The upper part repeats the parameters of the shin and has a specifi c asymmetrical shape, which ensures a stylish and perfect form of the riding boot. To obtain the initial data for designing the mold, there were performed anthropometric measurements of the shins of young women whose feet sizes correspond to the average ones in the selected sample. Designing of the lower part of the mold was carried out on the basis of the average parameters of the foot in Crispin LastMaker software complex using the method of reverse engineering. Designing of the general shape was performed in the PowerShape software environment by means of the features of surface, solid, and hybrid modeling. This type of boots must be made with several width-girth parameters, and the possibility to make boots with diff erent designs must be provided. Therefore, in order to e ff ectively use the molding means (a boot-tree), in the work, there was proposed the transforming mold, which allows making boots of diff erent widths and with diff erent shapes of the toe part due to its struc ture consisting of four parts changing the relative position and individual elements due to which it is possible to achieve multipurpose usage. Objective. Development of an improved shape, design, and method of designing a boot-tree molding means based on the foot 3d scan and shin measurements using the features of modern CAD software.Topicality of the work is based on the need to equip footwear production with the advanced lasts and molding means taking into account the requirements of ergonomics and fashionable design. Novelty. The proposed structure of the boot-tree developed on the basis of foot measurements is designed using a combination of reverse and direct modeling of the shape, which allows achieving the ideal and unique 3D shape combining ergonomic features and beautiful design. Such design method allows using the available digital equipment to obtain the initial data.

Glass powder admixture effect on the dynamic properties of concrete, multi-excitation method

In this work, the dynamic properties of a high performance concrete containing glass powder (GP) was studied. The GP is a new cementitious material obtained by recycling waste glass presenting pozzolanic activity. This eco-friendly material was incorporated in concrete mixes by replacing 20 and 30% of cement. The mechanical properties of building materials highly affect the response of the structure under dynamic actions. First, the resonant vibration frequencies were measured on concrete plate with free boundary conditions after 14, 28 and 90 curing days by using an alternative vibration monitoring technique. This technique measures the average frequencies of several excitations done at different points of the plate. This approach takes into account the heterogeneity of a material like concrete. So, the results should be more precise and reliable. For measuring the bending and torsion resonant frequencies, as well as the damping ratio. The dynamic properties of material such as dynamic elastic modulus and dynamic shear modulus were determined by modelling the plate on the finite element software ANSYS. Also, the instantaneous aroused frequency method and ultrasound method were used to determine the dynamic elastic modulus for comparison purpose, with the results obtained from vibration monitoring technique.

SURVIVING MENTALLY THROUGHOUT COVID-19: A METADISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF A PERSONAL BLOG

Metadiscourse is a common tool in understanding how a writer or speaker adopt the linguistic approach to project himself or herself in the discourse which was created by them. It portrays the attitude of the writer towards their own content and also the intended audience of the discourse. There have been various numbers of metadiscourse research in different genres such as academic writing, newspaper articles, education materials and scientific papers, however there are limited research perform on online or virtual metadiscourse, particularly weblogs or blogs. Numerous applications have been built on the Internet to encourage blogging and blogs are positioned as genre of a computer-mediated communication which can be analyzed in both structure and content forms. This paper demonstrates how a focus on language can provide insights to understand the metadiscourse in a personal blog. The personal blog selected was an article on mental wellbeing management during COVID-19. Hyland’s (2005) model was applied to explore the metadiscourse frequency and examine the usage of interactive and interactional markers. The results show that there is a greater use of interactional than interactive markers whereby self-mentions, engagement markers and hedges were mostly used followed by attitude markers and boosters. There is only one dominant interactive marker discovered in the article which was transitions. In conclusion, it can be inferred that there is much evidence that metadiscourse markers are being used in personal blog and the tendency of higher interactional resources used, rather than interactive resources denote that there is a difference in metadiscourse in an informal article compared to academic or scientific writing and that itself is a study that is worth to be explored further.

TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF GENDER: A METAPHORICAL ANALYSIS OF MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS

The purpose of this study was to reveal teachers’ perceptions of gender through the metaphors produced for male and female students. Content analysis was conducted in this qualitative study. The data were collected from 263 teachers working at primary and secondary schools in Tokat using semi-structured survey form. The results revealed that teachers had stereotypes and prejudices which supported patriarchal structure. More than half of the teachers described female students using metaphors such as “sensitive, touchy, and emotional”. The most frequently used metaphors in this category were the flower, glass vase, and butterfly. Teachers described male students mostly by using the metaphors that emphasized the “protective” aspect of men. The most frequent metaphor in this category was the tree. Education in Turkey is far from the potential to ensure the gender equality. Gender equality awareness should be established in all segments of society including teachers, and policies towards ensuring gender equality should be put into effect urgently. Article visualizations:
