Who’s supporting space activities? An ‘issue public’ for US space policy

Using data from the General Social Survey, this research identifies the issue public of US space policy. Highlighting the need to understand and identify the portion of the public that supports space activities, this study underscores the limited appeal of space for the public as a whole. We find that those who support space activities tend to be younger, male, Republican, and have a higher level of education and socioeconomic status. Because these characteristics make up a relatively small proportion of the American population, those supporting space activities must broaden the appeal of space, making it more accessible and understandable for those with whom the issue does not have much saliency.     

航天器快捷交会技术分析

快捷交会对航天乘员与飞行任务都是非常有利的。快捷交会的基本原理是减少调相段飞行圈数;为此,需设计可完成一系列交会程序的较短的飞行时间,并获得与飞行时间相匹配的较小的初相角。快捷交会的关键技术包括提高入轨精度,增强追踪飞行器的自主计算与轨道控制能力,扩大地面站覆盖范围,以及对目标飞行器轨道的精准调整。     

西部地区高校国际交流与合作现状及思考

在经济全球化,教育国际化的大背景下,西部地区高校和西部大开发的强劲东风,积极拓展了教育国际间的交流与合作,有力地推动了西部地区高等教育国际化的进程。但又由于受地域偏远、交通不发达和经济发展缓慢的影响,西部地区高校国际交流与合作和我国东部发展地区相比,在广度和深度方面还有很大的差距,面临着很大的发展空间。     

质量管理在中国香港的应用(英文)

香港工商企业的质量管理大部分都采用西方的质量管理概念。每当范畴扩展到建立人的优质思想和意识时，便遇到不少困难，基于上述问题，作者进行了一系列的研究，希望了解‘文化’与‘优质管理’之间的关系，并将中国的优良文化传统应用于现代质量管理之中。研究结果显示，‘管理哲学’是重要的一环，而我国的哲学极为丰富，作者借此文章，希望引起更多中国人在这方面的兴趣，从而进行更深入地研究和推广。

Aerothermodynamic and stability analyses of a deployable re-entry capsule

Recent research projects, in the field of atmospheric re-entry technology, are focused on the design of deployable, umbrella-like Thermal Protection Systems (TPSs). These TPSs are made of flexible high temperature resistant fabrics, folded at launch and deployed in space for de-orbit and re-entry operations. In the present paper two possible sphere–cone configurations for the TPS have been investigated from an aerodynamic point of view. The analyzed configurations are characterized by the same reentry mass and maximum diameter, but have different half-cone angles (45° and 60°). The analyses involve both the evaluation of thermal and aerodynamic loads and the assessment of the capsule longitudinal stability. The aerothermodynamic analysis has been performed for the completely deployed heat shield in transitional and continuum regimes, while the longitudinal stability has been analyzed in free molecular, transitional and continuum regimes, also taking into consideration the heat shield deployment sequence at high altitudes.     

Controlling factors of Region 2 field-aligned current and its relationship to the ring current: Model results

One essential component of magnetosphere and ionosphere coupling is the closure of the ring current through Region 2 field-aligned current (FAC). Using the Comprehensive Ring Current Model (CRCM), which includes magnetosphere and ionosphere coupling by solving the kinetic equation of ring current particles and the closure of the electric currents between the two regions, we have investigated the effects of high latitude potential, ionospheric conductivity, plasma sheet density and different magnetic field models on the development of Region 2 field-aligned currents, and the relationship between R2 FACs and the ring current. It is shown that an increase in high latitude potential, ionospheric conductivity or plasma sheet density generally results in an increase in Region 2 FACs’ intensity, but R2 FACs display different local time and latitudinal distributions for changes in each parameter due to the different mechanisms involved. Our simulation results show that the magnetic field configuration of the inner magnetosphere is also an important factor in the development of Region 2 field-aligned current. More numerical experiments and observational results are needed in further our understanding of the complex relationship of the two current systems.     

Hypothesis-test-based landcover change detection using multi-temporal satellite images – A comparative study

Remote sensing images and technologies have been widely applied to environmental monitoring, in particular landuse/landcover classification and change detection. However, the uncertainties involved in such applications have not been fully addressed. In this paper two hypothesis-test-based change detection methods, namely the bivariate joint distribution method and the conditional distribution method, are proposed to tackle the uncertainties in change detection by making decisions based on the desired level of significance. Both methods require a data set of class-dependent no-change pixels to form the basis for class-dependent hypothesis test. Using an exemplar study area in central Taiwan, performance of the proposed methods are shown to be significantly superior to two other commonly applied methods (the post-classification comparison and the image differencing methods) in terms of the overall change detection accuracies. The conditional distribution method takes into consideration the correlation between digital numbers of the pre- and post-images and the effect of the known pre-image digital number on the range of the post-image digital number, and therefore yields the highest change detection accuracy. It is also demonstrated that the class-dependent change detection is crucial for accurate landuse/landcover change detection.     

福建与东盟经贸合作及深化合作的政策建议

东盟是福建省开展进出口贸易、引进外资以及实施走出去战略的重要地区。中国-东盟自由贸易区协议签订后，福建省抓住机遇，积极推进双方在经贸领域的合作，与东盟经贸往来日益密切，东盟已成为福建省重要的经贸合作伙伴。福建省应从实际情况出发，争取在建设中国-东盟自由贸易区的进程中找准位置并发挥作用，主要措施有：（1）充分利用东南亚华商网络，建立福建东盟合作机制；（2）利用中国-东盟自由贸易区的降税进程，努力扩大对东盟的出口；（3）在继续扩大吸收来自东盟外商直接投资的同时，鼓励省内企业开展对东盟投资；（4）发挥福建区位优势，加大与东盟各大港口合作力度；（5）利用优势互补，加大福建与东盟的资源合作力度。
