Policy Texts

Although many countries around the world, especially China, highlight the strategy of green development, there has been little research evaluating the effectiveness of green development policies in local area. This study explores 16 policy texts with the theme of green development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China. Using the Policy Modeling Consistency Index (PMC-Index) model, the paper establishes a multi-input–output policy table and scientifically and systematically evaluates these policies. The results show that the average PMC index of the 16 policy texts is 6.83, indicating a high overall quality of policy texts. The index identifies two states of policy effectiveness as being good and excellent; 50% of the total texts fall into these categories and do not fall into the category of having a low level of policy effectiveness. Five indicators, including policy timeliness, social benefits, policy audience scope, and incentives and constraints, significantly impact the PMC-Index of the policy. Six representative policy samples were selected and analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of the policy can be more fully understood by the degree of depression of the PMC’s three-dimensional curved surface (PMC-Surface) model. Finally, the paper provides theoretical recommendations for the optimization of the green development policies.

ABSTRACTThe production of three-dimensional (3D) digital meshes of surface and computed tomographic (CT) data has become widespread in morphometric analyses of anthropological and archaeological data. Given that processing methods are not standardized, this leaves questions regarding the comparability of processed and digitally curated 3D datasets. The goal of this study was to identify those processing parameters that result in the most consistent fit between CT-derived meshes and a 3D surface model of the same human mandible. Eight meshes, each using unique thresholding and smoothing parameters, were compared to assess whole-object deviations, deviations along curves, and deviations between specific anatomical features on the surface model when compared with the CT scans using a suite of comparison points. Based on calculated gap distances, the mesh that thresholded at “0” with an applied smoothing technique was found to deviate least from the surface model, although it is not the most biologically accurate. Results have implications for aggregated studies that employ multimodal 3D datasets, and caution is recommended for studies that enlist 3D data from websites and digital repositories, particularly if processing parameters are unknown or derived for studies with different research foci.

In this changing global scenario, modification, transplantation, and replacement can be the eternal solution for most of the problems in the medical field. Hence replacement technique finds a very prominent place in medicine as a remedy having closely tied up with biomechanics. One of the most important joints in the human body is the hip joint, the big and complex joint. Many researches were conducted and many are in progress, but most of these works use simplified models with either 2D or 3D approaches. The hip joint is formed by four components like femoral head cortical bone, stem, and neck. In this system we can find orthotropic and isotropic materials working together. The main objective of this research is to develop a three dimensional surface and solid finite element model of the hip joint to predict stresses in its individual components. This model is a geometric non-linear model, which helps us understand its structural mechanical behavior, seeming to suggest with advanced research in the future new hip joint prosthesis, as well as to prove the prosthesis joint interaction before being implanted in the patient. This research explains a complete human hip joint model without cartilaginous tissue, using ANSYS 10.0 Multiphysics Analysis for nine different postures in hip joint using three different materials (CoCr, Ti6Al4V, and UHMWPE) to calculate fatigue life. The result obtained from the analysis of surface model and solid model serve to help in predicting the life cycle, surface characteristics, shear stress in XY plane, stress concentration and areas that are prone to failure. Von Mises stress on the surface of our model facilitates us to equip and design an optimized prosthesis device having unique materials composition , with a highly bio-compatible and durable alloy at a low cost could be produced. In this way, a first important step towards the structural characterization of human hip joint has been developed.

Moore et al. measured the six Reynolds stresses in a tip leakage vortex in a linear turbine cascade. Stress tensor analysis, as used in classical mechanics, has been applied to the measured turbulence stress tensors. Principal directions and principal normal stresses are found. A solid surface model, or three-dimensional glyph, for the Reynolds stress tensor is proposed and used to view the stresses throughout the tip leakage vortex. Modeled Reynolds stresses using the Boussinesq approximation are obtained from the measured mean velocity strain rate tensor. The comparison of the principal directions and the three-dimensional graphic representations of the strain and Reynolds stress tensors aids in the understanding of the turbulence and what is required to model it.
