Understanding and Application of “Being Already in Use” Mentioned in Article 31 of the Trademark Law

According to Article 31 of the Trademark Law as re- vised in 2001,In trademark application,one should not pre- emptively register a mark that is already in use by another party and has certain influence;it is also provided in Article 41,paragraph two that where a registered trademark stands in violation of the preceding provision,the owner of the mark     

“But the data is already public”: on the ethics of research in Facebook

In 2008, a group of researchers publicly released profile data collected from the Facebook accounts of an entire cohort of college students from a US university. While good-faith attempts were made to hide the identity of the institution and protect the privacy of the data subjects, the source of the data was quickly identified, placing the privacy of the students at risk. Using this incident as a case study, this paper articulates a set of ethical concerns that must be addressed before embarking on future research in social networking sites, including the nature of consent, properly identifying and respecting expectations of privacy on social network sites, strategies for data anonymization prior to public release, and the relative expertise of institutional review boards when confronted with research projects based on data gleaned from social media.     

The Analysis of the Thematic Progression Patterns in “The Great Learning”

This paper intends to introduce briefly the thematic progression patterns in Systemic- Functional Grammar, then analyze its application in "The Great Learning" which is one of the classics of the Confucius and his disciples. The analysis of the thematic progression patterns of "The Great Learning" is meaningful for both understanding and appreciating "The Great Learning".     

A theory of the internal ballistics of the “hoch-und-niederdruck kanone”

During the war the Germans developed guns with a constriction between chamber and bore, so that the pressure in the chamber was substantially higher than that in the bore. It is shown that a simple theory of such guns can be devised, which is adequate for analysis of firing trials and for testing the claims advanced for this idea. The claim of a high piezometric efficiency is not supported by this theoretical analysis.     

Ultra-deep Desulfurization of Diesel Highlighted as 2004 Major Advance in Green Chemistry

The sulfur levels in diesel have been increasingly re- stricted in the world out of environmental considerations. Envi- ronmental regulations to be applied by 2006 in Europe, the US and other countries,for instance, limit thelevel to less than 15 ppm. To meet these stringent conditions, novel desulfu- rization processes are needed to en- sure sustainable and economically acceptable technology.A research team led by Prof. LiCan from the CAS Dalian Instituteof Chemical Physics has madeprogr…
