Enforcement of South Korean Arbitral Awards in Mainland China

YANG,Fan 한국중재학회 2015 중재연구 Vol.25 No.3

This article reviews some recent decisions of the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the recognition and enforcement of several South Korean arbitral awards. It explains the implementation of the New York Convention in the PRC and in particular the so-called Report System under the current Mainland Chinese law and judicial practice. It identifies some deficiencies in the People’s Courts’ approaches to the application and interpretation of the New York Convention and argues that the Mainland Chinese courts should adopt the pro-enforcement principle in the determination of the relevant issues under the New York Convention. It proposes further enhancement of the Report System and that the current categorization of ‘domestic, foreign-related and foreign’ in the context of arbitration agreements and arbitral awards needs to be further reviewed and clarified by the SPC. Last but not the least, it recommends some steps that South Korean parties should take to enhance the enforceability of South Korean Arbitral Awards in Mainland China.

You-Ying Tu,Jiang-Fan Yang2 한국차학회 2015 한국차학회지 Vol.- No.S

Since the discovery and first consumption of tea by Shen-Nong has been 5000 years when he tasted various herbs. About 3000 years ago human started to plant tea trees in China. Now, tea is spread from China into many countries around the world. Tea is the second most popular soft drink in the world, and more people are getting to know its health functions. This review introduces three parts: the first part is the history of tea, which is long and complex, spreading across multiple cultures over the span of thousands of years. The second part is the processing and classification of six kinds of Chinese teas, including green tea, black tea, Oolong tea, yellow tea, white tea and dark tea. The third part is the different tea customs in different places according to different social culture and natural environment.

Aims: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several risk variants for prostate cancer (pCa) mainly in Europeans, which need to be further verified in other racial groups. We selected six previously identified variants as candidates and to define the association with PCa in Northern Han Chinese. Methods: 749 subjects from Beijing and Tianjin in Northern China were included. Six variants (rs10505474, rs7837328, rs4242384, rs7813, rs486907 and rs1058205) were genotyped by high resolution melting (HRM) assays. The individual and cumulative contribution for of the risk of PCa and clinical covariates were analyzed. Results: Among the six candidate variants, onlyrs10505474, and rs7837328, both locating at 8q24 region, were associated with PCa in our population.rs10505474 (A) was associated with PCa ($OR_{recessive}=1.56$, p=0.006); and rs7837328 (A) was associated with PCa ($OR_{dominant}=1.38$, p=0.042/$OR_{recessive}=1.99$, p=0.003). Moreover, we observed a cumulative effects between them ($p_{trend}=2.58{\times}10^{-5}$). The joint population attributable risk showed the two variants might account for 71.85% of PCa risk. In addition, we found the homozygotes of rs10505474 (A) and rs7837328 (A) were associated with PCa clinical covariants (age at onset, tumor stage, respectively) ($p_{age}=0.046$, $P_{tumorstage}=0.048$). Conclusion: rs10505474 (A) and rs7387328 (A) at 8q24 are associated with PCa and cumulatively confer risk, suggesting the two variations could determine susceptibility to PCa in the Northern Chinese Han population.

Upward Influence to Overcome Hierarchical Authority Expectations: A New Approach for Stakeholder Management

Fan, Yang,Anantatmula, Vittal Korea Institute of Construction Engineering and Ma 2012 Journal of construction engineering and project ma Vol.2 No.2

Critical to project success is effective stakeholder management. This paper presents a challenge for the project manager who uses traditional approaches to manage mid-level stakeholders in an organization. Dual roles of a mid-level stakeholder (as a stakeholder of a project and as an agent of the corporate) may cause problems that would result in difficulties for project managers in identifying the stakeholder's attributes and overcoming hierarchical authority expectation. However, the dual roles of the stakeholder result in its weakness in the project-stakeholder relationship. Can a project leverage its strategic role for effective upward influence by linking project objectives to corporate strategic objectives? To address this research question, case study method was used to gain a deeper understanding of mid-level stakeholder's salience. This research proposes an upward influence strategy to embed a project-stakeholder relationship in a hierarchical stakeholder network.

Family of Dual-Input Dual-Buck Inverters Based on Dual-Input Switching Cells

Fan Yang,Hongjuan Ge,Jingfan Yang,Runyun Dang,Hongfei Wu 전력전자학회 2018 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.18 No.4

A family of dual-DC-input (DI) dual-buck inverters (DBIs) is proposed by employing a DI switching cell as the input of traditional DBIs. Three power ports, i.e. a low voltage DC input port, a high voltage DC input port and an AC output port, are provided by the proposed DI-DBIs. A low voltage DC source, whose voltage is lower than the peak amplitude of the AC side voltage, can be directly connected to the DI-DBI. This supplies power to the AC side in single-stage power conversion. When compared with traditional DBI-based two-stage DC/AC power systems, the conversion stages are reduced, and the power rating and power losses of the front-end Boost converter of the DI-DBI are reduced. In addition, five voltage-levels are generated with the help of the two DC input ports, which is a benefit in terms of reducing the voltage stresses and switching losses of switches. The topology derivation method, operation principles, modulation strategy and characteristics of the proposed inverter are analyzed in-depth. Experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed DI-DBIs.

A QoE-based Joint Bandwidth and Power Allocation Method for Multiple RATs in HetNets

Fan Yang,Qinghai Yang,곽경섭,Fenglin Fu 한국통신학회 2015 ICT Express Vol.1 No.1

In this letter, we propose an optimal joint bandwidth and power allocation method for heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets) by maximizing the users’ quality of experience (QoE), which is a widely used subjective metric reflecting the users’ satisfaction of the multimedia service. By taking two factors into consideration simultaneously: Rate Factor (RF) and Energy Factor (EF), we can measure the QoE of end-users effectively. An optimal QoE-driven allocation algorithm is further developed for maximizing the end-users’ QoE utility subject to the constraints of transmit bandwidth, power and data rate. The simulation results demonstrate the theoretical analysis.

Improved direct torque control strategy for reducing torque ripple in switched reluctance motors

Fan Yang,Hao Chen,Vitor Pires,Joao Martins,Yassen Gorbounov,Xiaodong Li,Mohamed Orabi 전력전자학회 2022 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.22 No.4

To reduce the torque ripple of a switched reluctance motor (SRM), this paper proposed a direct torque optimization scheme. To force the torque to better track the reference torque, the proposed method abolished the torque hysteresis control and a fuzzy controller was adopted to quantitatively analyze the difference between the reference torque and measured torque. Therefore, the torque reference factor that represents the torque under different conditions can be obtained, and the system should be controlled by different voltage vectors with different output torque capabilities at different torque reference factor values. In this way, the torque can better track the given torque. At the same time, the existing sectors were optimized in this paper. Under optimized sectors, the adopted direct torque control (DTC) scheme can drive the SRM better. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, it is compared with the current chop control (CCC) strategy and the traditional DTC control strategy on a 12/8 three-phase SRM by simulations and experiments. The obtained results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the torque ripple of the SRM.

Primary Pericardial Liposarcoma: The Role of Multi-Modality Imaging in the Diagnosis of a Pericardial Mass

Yang Fan,Wu Qian,Yan Yan,Zhang Zhang,Li Dong 아시아심장혈관영상의학회 2022 Cardiovascular Imaging Asia Vol.6 No.4

Primary pericardial liposarcomas are extremely rare. We presented a case of a 69-year-old man who presented with exertional dyspnea for more than one week. A pericardial mass was detected by echocardiography and then further investigated by computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor was resected completely, and the histopathological result was confirmed to be a well-differentiated liposarcoma.
