Quality education, or su zhi education in Chinese, has been adopted in schools in China to correct the overemphasis on test scores and to promote whole person development. Although su zhi reform is not based on a capability approach, using such an approach helps to reveal the internal...

This paper examines the prevalence of educational inequality in Post-Mao China with reference to three different models for social exclusion. The primary contribution made by this article is the development of a comprehensive framework for education inequality which maps out the entire process...

Information literacy education plays a vital role in developing students’ information capabilities in higher education. Curriculum integration of information literacy is advocated by ACRL (2000) in the United States and ANZIIL (Bundy, 2004) in Australia and New Zealand. Research (Derakhshan &...

Contribution rate evaluation plays a key role in new weapon or equipment development project demonstration, since the priority of potentially developed weapon depends on the contribution of weapons and equipment to the effectiveness of the Combat System of Systems (CSoS). However, previous...

Particle-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) accounts for a large proportion of hazardous compounds in PM2.5 derived from vehicle emission. This study aimed at determining the profiles of PAHs based on tunnel measurement and urban roadside observation. The real-world vehicle emission...

The synthesis of different structures quantum dots (QDs) in a biologically friendly aqueous solution is the current trend for the preparation of nanoparticles. CdTe QDs were synthesized in aqueous by a green and environmentally friendly way with glutathione (GSH). Rod like core-shell CdTe/CdSe...

The material and microstructure of the carrier-selective layers in the perovskite solar cells are important to determining their efficiency and stability. Planar tin dioxide (p-SnO 2 ) is the most commonly used inorganic electron transport layer, but there are few reports on its mesoporous...

The mechanism of hydration of propargylic alcohols catalyzed by [Bu4P+][Im-] has been elucidated along with the carbon dioxide (CO2) as the co-catalyst. The cation is thought to be the minor role in catalysis to adjust the basicity of anion in previous study, however, it conflicts with the...
