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.

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.

Yang Yang,Hao Fan,Peng-cheng Ma 한국정밀공학회 2017 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.18 No.8

A new longwall shearer cutting transmission system with variable cutting speed (LSCT-V) is presented to overcome the weaknesses of the traditional longwall shearer cutting transmission system (LSCT) with constant cutting speed. The dynamic model of the LSCTV and LSCT, which includes a cutting-motor rotator and drum, are established in AMESim, and the dynamic response of each system is analyzed using AMESim. Simulation results show that the function of frequency control for the designed LSCT-V system can be achieved, compared with the dynamic behavior of LSCT system under step torque load. The dynamic characteristics of the LSCT-V system are very close when working in constant or varying cutting speeds.

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.

Purpose MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs involved in different cancers, including lung cancer. Here, we aim to investigate the expression profiles of circulating miRNAs and their roles contributed to the progress of lung cancer. Materials and Methods The levels of circulating miRNA in lung cancer patients were investigated by miRNAs assay. Then we predicted the target genes of aberrantly expressing miRNAs by searching genetic databases. Based on the A549 cells transfected with miR-1246 mimics or miR-1246 inhibitor, we further measured the roles of miR-1246 involving in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion capacities of lung cancer cells in vitro. Finally, we detected the effects of miR-1246 on glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)/β-catenin pathway by immunofluorescence and Western blot, respectively. Results We identified that 14 miRNAs were aberrantly expressed in the serum of lung cancer patients. Among them, miR-1246 was the most up-regulated. The cell assays indicated that miR-1246 significantly increased the migration and invasion capabilities of A549 lung cancer cells. Meanwhile, immunofluorescence analysis revealed that miR-1246 promoted EMT process of A549 cells accompanying with decreasing E-cadherin expression, while increasing vimentin and transforming growth factor β expression. Furthermore, an online tool predicated that miR-1246 might bind to 3'-untranslated region of GSK-3β, which was confirmed by overexpression and knockdown of miR-1246 assays. Conclusion Taken together, the study illustrates that miR-1246 regulates Wnt/β-catenin pathway through targeting GSK-3β/β-catenin, which partly contributing to tumor metastasis. MiR- 1246 may play an essential role in the diagnosis and therapeutic of lung cancer.

Fan Yang,Jijun Kang,Fang Yang,Zhensheng Zhao,Tao Kong,Zhenling Zeng 대한수의학회 2015 Journal of Veterinary Science Vol.16 No.2

New enrofloxacin microspheres were formulated, and their physical properties, lung-targeting ability, and tissue distribution in rats were examined. The microspheres had a regular and round shape. The mean diameter was 10.06 μm, and the diameter of 89.93% of all microspheres ranged from 7.0 μm to 30.0 μm. Tissue distribution of the microspheres was evaluated along with a conventional enrofloxacin preparation after a single intravenous injection (7.5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw). The results showed that the elimination half-life (t1/2β) of enrofloxacin from lung was prolonged from 7.94 h for the conventional enrofloxacin to 13.28 h for the microspheres. Area under the lung concentration versus time curve from 0 h to ∞ (AUC0-∞) was increased from 11.66 h·μg/g to 508.00 h·μg/g. The peak concentration (Cmax) in lung was increased from 5.95 μg/g to 93.36 μg/g. Three lung-targeting parameters were further assessed and showed that the microspheres had remarkable lung-targeting capabilities.

Numerical Investigation of the Segmental Lining Performance for a Shield Tunnel

Fan Yang,Guang Liu,Yan-qiao Wang,Si-kun Yu 대한토목학회 2022 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.26 No.5

The performance of segmental linings in China's Yellow River Crossing Tunnel is studied as a case study, and a complete three-dimensional numerical model is developed for the segmental joint to perform a bending test and reproduce the joint rotational performance. Besides, an improved three-dimensional solid-spring model together with a straightforward two-dimensional beam-spring model are presented for the segmental lining to take the influences of the joint into account. The bending test shows that the rotation stiffness of joints presents complex and nonlinear characteristics. The segmental lining simulation reveals that the segmental joint has little impact on the axial forces of the lining. However, the bending rigidity of the segmental lining corresponding to the joint location is weakened, which leads to discontinuous stress distribution, decreased bending moments and increased deformations. According to the comparison, the proposed three-dimensional solid-spring model excluding contact has the advantage of mesh generation, and it is capable of reproducing the three-dimensional segmental lining effects. The proposed two-dimensional beam-spring model combined with the calculation methods of all the spring stiffnesses is an effective and further simplified method for the segmental lining modeling, which incorporates the influences of the joint and staggered format.

Building Objects Extracting and Recognizing Methodology from Satellite Image based on the Feature Extraction Algorithms and Sliding Window Technique

Fan Yang,Laixin Shen 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.9 No.12

Based on the gray features and shape features of objects, some satisfied objects are detected by using sliding window algorithm from satellite image. To further recognize their identification and classification, more texture features of them are needed to obtain to compare between them. GLCM (Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix) statistics are used to representative each partition of them. These PGLCM (Partition-GLCM) statistics can combine into a feature vector and those detected objects can be accurately recognized and classified by using GLVQ (Generalized Learning Vector Quantization) Neural Network algorithm. Experiments show when we choose those adapted parameters, such as the length and width of the window, and the threshold of difference of adjacent pixels, the extraction rate of building objects is up to 76.1%. Using the classification algorithm based on the feature vector generating by the statistics of PGLCM, the recognition rate of building is more than 88.9%.
