Given the global dominance of American movies, they play a significant role in presenting U.S.ideology and culture to the world, thus raising concern of undermining domestic culture.This paper investigates whether trade shapes culture by studying the impact of imported American movies on Chinese cultural values measured by Hofstede Index.The result
An analytical method to model failure of steel beam plastic hinges due to local buckling and Bags low-cycle fatigue is proposed herein.This method is based on the plastic collapse mechanism approach and a yield-line plastic hinge (YLPH) model whose geometry is based on buckled shapes of beam plastic hinges observed in experiments.Two limit states,
Based on the structural shortage Ball - Elastic Goods - Sliding Short of an agricultural labor force and the continuous increase in tomato planting scale in China, as well as the limitation of a greenhouse working environment on the development of tomato picking productivity, a motor-driven end-effector for a tomato picking robot based on a hybrid
In bacteria, polymers of inorganic phosphates, particularly linear polyphosphate, are used as alternative phosphate donors for adenosine triphosphate production.A six-chain form of sodium metaphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), is believed to have no physiological functions in mammalian cells.In this study, we explored the possible effects
Aqueous phase trapping (APT), which is one of the most prominent damages, seriously restricts the natural gas production in tight gas sandstone with low permeability.Pore size and microscopic pore structures are the most important factors to determine the water blocking damage.In this paper, 9 core samples from tight gas sandstone with various phys
