Promoting University and Industry Links at the Regional Level: Comparing China’s Reform and International Experience

Abstract

This paper intends to learn from international experiences in order to facilitating China’s ongoing regional university transformation with an ultimate goal to enhance the role of university in regional economic development and innovation. In so doing, this paper compares major models of universities of applied sciences (UAS) around the world from the perspective of the Triple Helix Model with an emphasis on the nature of university-industry relation implied by each model, and then exploring their relevance for China’s UASs transformation. It is concluded that the Finnish model is the most relevant to China. By comparing the Finnish and Chinese practices, a number of recommendations are solicited to Chinese policy-makers.     

Chilli anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum species

Anthracnose disease is one of the major economic constraints to chilli production worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Accurate taxonomic information is necessary for effective disease control management. In the Colletotrichum patho-system, different Colletotrichum species can be associated with anthracnose of the same host. Little information is known concerning the interactions of the species associated with the chilli anthracnose although several Colletotrichum species have been reported as causal agents of chilli anthracnose disease worldwide. The ambiguous taxonomic status of Colletotrichum species has resulted in inaccurate identification which may cause practical problems in plant breeding and disease management. Although the management and control of anthracnose disease are still being extensively researched, commercial cultivars of Capsicum annuum that are resistant to the pathogens that cause chilli anthracnose have not yet been developed. This paper reviews the causal agents of chilli anthracnose, the disease cycle, conventional methods in identification of the pathogen and molecular approaches that have been used for the identification of Colletotrichum species. Pathogenetic variation and population structure of the causal agents of chilli anthracnose along with the current taxonomic status of Colletotrichum species are discussed. Future developments leading to the disease management strategies are suggested.      

基本素质比专业能力更重要

素质教育是中等职业教育的基本内容。素质教育面宽量大。现有的公共基础课不堪重负。在现有的课程课时之外必须系统考虑素质教育问题,要从管理、服务、教学等方方面面落实素质教育。专业能力是谋求职业岗位的重要手段,是中等职业教育的核心,但专业能力远没有基本素质重要。前者影响一时,后者影响一生。     

中国学生英语元音发音错误分析

英语语音的学习是整个英语学习的基础,对于中国学生而言,如何掌握好英语基本的元音发音是学好英语的关键所在。受汉语母语的影响,中国学生在英语元音学习过程中容易产生一些元音发音错误。对这些常见的错误进行分析总结,并提出相应的解决方案,以期帮助二语学习者减少母语负迁移带来的元音发音错误,提高英语学习效果。     

话本小说“入话”的大众化叙事技巧探微

在章回体小说兴起之前,占据着中国古典小说主流的话本小说,逼真地描绘人们的生活与文化,通俗而朴实,接近当时社会文化的实况;其中的"入话",扮演着引导大众进入正话的关键角色,使他们易于进入阅读过程,并直接反映在作者着眼于"大众化"的造成与显示的叙事技巧上。     

中国基本公共服务与体育事业发展关系的实证研究

从公共卫生、基础教育、社会福利、科学技术、公共文化、环境保护和基础设施7个方面选取28项测度指标,运用多元数理统计方法构建1995-2008年基本公共服务供给综合指数.以体育事业经费投入额作为体育事业发展状况的衡量指标,通过计量经济方法,对中国基本公共服务供给与体育事业发展之间的关系进行实证研究.结果表明:基本公共服务供给和体育事业发展之间仅存在单向因果关系;体育事业发展与基本公共服务供给之间存在长期均衡关系.我国体育事业发展受基本公共服务供给的冲击效应比较明显,因此基本公共服务供给对中国体育事业发展的贡献作用是不可忽视的.     

传统武术价值功能的思考

作为中华民族特有的传统体育运动项目和优秀的文化遗产,传统武术在漫长的发展过程中,形成了多种价值功能,如:技击、健身、娱乐、教育等。传统武术曾令中国人自豪,外国人神往,然而在科技飞速发展的21世纪,中国传统武术价值功能的定位就成为影响其发展的一个方面。文章主要运用文献资料法、专家访谈法、逻辑分析法等研究方法对传统武术价值功能定位进行思考。     

Print Newspapers: Are They Still Being Used in Academic and Research Libraries?

A six-month print newspaper usage study at the University of Michigan's Hatcher Graduate Library showed a marked decrease in use from a more limited study done four years previously. In general, patrons used only the major national, international, and regional newspapers. Communications with other academic and research libraries confirm these findings.     

Citation Analysis to Assist Selection in Kinesiology

This article presents a citation analysis of articles published in 2011 from 11 kinesiology journals. The results of the citation analysis of 11 kinesiology journals are compared to a citation analysis of articles published in 2011 by faculty in the School of Kinesiology, University of Michigan. Comparing the four areas of kinesiology, Movement Science, Athletic Training, Sports Management, and Physical Education, the results show that articles published in Movement Science and Athletic Training cited a higher percentage of journal articles than articles published in Sports Management and Physical Education. While some of the materials cited went as far back as 1874, the mean age ranged from 1996 to 2004. Human Kinetics was the most cited publisher and the American Journal of Sports Medicine was the most cited journal. The University of Michigan Library owns 75% of the materials cited in the publications cited by School of Kinesiology faculty. Faculty in the School of Kinesiology cited many textbooks, a format not actively collected by the library before this analysis.     

Plastic limit load analysis for pressure pipe with incomplete welding defects based on the extended Net Section Collapse Criteria

With von Mises yield criterion, the loading range of Net Section Collapse （NSC） Criteria is extended from combined tension and bending loadings to combined bending, torsion and internal pressure loadings. A new theoretical analyzing method of plastic limit load for pressure pipe with incomplete welding defects based on the extended NSC Criteria is presented and the correlative formulas are deduced, the influences of pipe curvature, circumferential length and depth of incomplete welding defects on the plastic limit load of pressure pipe are considered as well in this method. Meanwhile, according to the orthogonal experimental design method, the plastic limit loads are calculated by the finite element method and compared with the theoretical values. The results show that the expressions of plastic limit load of pressure pipe with incomplete welding defects under bending, torsion and internal pressure based on extended NSC criteria are reliable. The study provides an important theoretical basis for the establishment of safety assessment measure towards pressure pipe with incomplete welding defects.
