Guan Yu
Noga Ganany
Dec 09, 2019
A critical study of the rich religious tradition surrounding Guan Yu 關羽 (Guandi 關帝 / Guangong 關公 / Lord Guan) was long overdue. Bared ter Haar’s recent book rises up to the task with commendable thoroughness, a tour de force of...
How Much Is Enough in a Perfect World? Cultural Variation in Ideal Levels of Happiness, Pleasure, Freedom, Health, Self-Esteem, Longevity, and Intelligence

The maximization principle—that people aspire to the highest possible level of something good if all practical constraints are removed—is a common yet untested assumption about human nature. We predict that in holistic...

System Dynamics Modeling Of Socioeconomic Development Mode Associated With Water Usage In Baiyangdian Lake, Northern China
With continual increase of environmental pressure from human activities, it has become necessary to study the process of socioeconomic water usage influencing the water quality. Based on the system dynamic model developed before...
Digital and automatic design of free-form single-layer grid structures

Grid shells have been widely used in various long-span public buildings, and many of them are defined over free-form surfaces with complex boundaries. This emphasizes the importance of general and digitalised grid generation...

Network Information Security Monitoring Under Artificial Intelligence Environment
At present, network attack means emerge in endlessly. The detection technology of network attack must be constantly updated and developed. Based on this, the two stages of network attack detection (feature selection and traffic...
Acceleration decoupling control of 6 degrees of freedom electro-hydraulic shaking table

Electro-hydraulic shaking tables are widely used for vibration testing where high force and displacement amplitudes are required. In particular, they are a vital tool in seismic testing, enabling the development of buildings...

Numerical modelling of structures adjacent to retaining walls subjected to earthquake loading
X Guan, GSP Madabhushi
Dec 05, 2020
In an urban environment, it is often necessary to locate structures close to existing retaining walls due to congestion in space. When such structures are in seismically active zones, the dynamic loading attracted by the...
Partial structure investigation of the traditional bulk metallic glass Pd40Ni40 P20

Local structures of Pd40Ni40P20 bulk metallic glass were investigated by combining anomalous x-ray scattering close to the Pd and Ni K absorption edges, x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and reverse Monte Carlo...

‘I am just a loser of higher education’
Shanshan Guan, Andrea Abbas
Dec 31, 2022

This paper proposes a unique framework for comparative analysis of different Adult Higher Education (AHE) systems. The framework combines, a conceptualisation of how students’ outcomes are shaped by the way that they and...
