论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”

The Expansion of Incentive (Performance-Based) Regulation of Electricity Distribution and Transmission in the United States by Joskow, Paul L.

“…The new obligations are a consequence primarily of aggressive targets for decarbonizing the electricity sector in nearly half the states and the goal of using “clean” electricity to electrify transportation, buildings, and other sectors. …”

On the geometry and refined rate of primal–dual hybrid gradient for linear programming by Lu, Haihao, Yang, Jinwen

“…An interesting implication of our results is that degeneracy itself does not slow down the convergence of PDHG for LP, but near-degeneracy does.…”

A sharp immersed method for 2D flow-body interactions using the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations by Ji, Xinjie, Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…However, for the vorticity-velocity form of the Navier-Stokes equations, existing immersed geometry discretizations for two-way coupled problems only achieve first order spatial accuracy near solid boundaries. Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. …”

Practical Rateless Set Reconciliation by Yang, Lei, Gilad, Yossi, Alizadeh, Mohammad

“…We present Rateless Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables (Rateless IBLTs), the first set reconciliation protocol, to the best of our knowledge, that achieves low computation cost and near-optimal communication cost across a wide range of scenarios: set differences of one to millions, bit strings of a few bytes to megabytes, and workloads injected by potential adversaries. …”

Assessing United States Energy Poverty Policy: Regulatory Design Alternatives and Resource Allocation by Heller, Peter J.

“…Specifically, current allocations under the US Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to states have been nearly static since 1984, while the distribution of energy poverty is dynamic in location and time. …”

Cross-Shelf Exchange Driven by Dense Flow Down a Canyon by Mier, Christian M.

“…At later times, another mechanism may also be at play where large dense cyclonic (anticlockwise) eddies on the northern continental shelf may pull more dense water out of the canyon producing a region of low pressure, near the canyon head, which induces an increase in ambient flow into the canyon. …”

Hardness of Approximate Diameter: Now for Undirected Graphs by Dalirrooyfard, Mina, Li, Ray, Vassilevska Williams, Virginia

“…It has been open whether a better approximation is possible in near-linear time. A series of papers on fine-grained complexity have led to strong hardness results for diameter in directed graphs, culminating in a recent tradeoff curve independently discovered by [Li, STOC'21] and [Dalirrooyfard and Wein, STOC'21], showing that under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), for any integer k?…”

Three-dimensional flow structures and vorticity control in fish-like swimming by Zhu, Q., Wolfgang, M.J., Yue, D.K.P., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…The computations contain no structural model for the fish and hence no recoil correction. First, we show the near-body flow structure produced by the travelling-wave undulations of the bodies of a tuna and a giant danio. …”

Selective removal of hydroxyl groups from graphene oxide by Chua, Chun Kiang, Pumera, Martin

“…Numerous methods starting from various reducing agents have been developed to obtain near-pristine graphene sheets. However, most of the reducing agents are not mechanistically supported by classical organic chemistry knowledge and of those that are supported, they are only theoretically capable of, at most, reducing oxygen-containing groups on graphene oxide to hydroxyl groups. …”

Evolving optimal and diversified military operational plans for computational red teaming by Zeng, Fanchao, Decraene, James, Low, Malcolm Yoke Hean, Zhou, Suiping, Cai, Wentong

“…Numerous multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been applied to CRT; however, the elitist and converging nature of these Pareto-based optimization algorithms typically leads to the generation of optimal, with respect to the Pareto front, but poorly diversified adversarial operational plans. As a result, the near-optimal alternative strategies are omitted; this considerably limits the applicability of CRT when considering the decision makers point of view. …”
