Research on evolution and security risk of Metaverse by Hailong WANG, Yangchun LI, Yuxiao LI

“…Recently, the Metaverse boom has swept the world.To improve the voice in the future digital field, major countries and well-known enterprises have accelerated arrangement of this emerging industry.However, there is no unified definition and ultimate form description of Metaverse.It is urgent to understand the essential characteristics, evolution trend and security risks of Metaverse scientifically, which can promote the high-quality development of China’s electronic information industry and ensure the cyberspace security.With literature research and related information analysis, the definition of Metaverse was put forward based on the core concepts such as technology and application iteration, economic and business model and the role of social relations.Additionally, the development and evolution of Metaverse were divided into four stages (data creation, digital bionics, virtual mirror and virtual-real symbiosis) according to the evolution degree of space category, space-time dimension, key technology and virtual real interaction.And the characteristics and corresponding forms of each stage were expounded.Then it analyzed the main reasons for the popularity of the Metaverse from the perspectives of innovative application demand, virtual life transformation, commercial value driving and political power driving.Focusing on the problems of challenging the national governance system, impacting the mainstream ideology, manipulating the capital market, causing potential social problems and misleading the layout of technology industry, it analyzed the multiple security risks and threats brought by the Metaverse wave from perspectives including politics, culture, economy, society and technology.It is suggested that the Metaverse is still in the stage of concept improvement and product exploration now.China should rationally grasp the development opportunities of the Metaverse based on the current situation of the electronic information industry, prepare for risks in advance, build a digital governance supervision system, stimulate industrial innovation and open development, consolidate the support of network information security, and create a healthy and orderly international environment.…”

Accommodation intersubjective et générique dans le forum du Madman’s Café by Stéphane Kostantzer

“…Our hypothesis is that, in the exchanges, generic accommodation takes precedence over intersubjective accommodation, which will undoubtedly pose a problem for the expression of identity.In line with Giles’ theories, accommodation is broken down into four subtypes, whether it describes a movement of convergence or divergence, and whether this movement is predominantly ideological or stylistic in kind. …”

Understanding sociodemographic differences in climate behavior, climate policy acceptance, and political participation by Lena Lehrer, Lennart Hellmann, Cornelia Betsch

“…Yet, the sociodemographic effects may vary for the single facets of the readiness to act against climate change—namely individual climate-friendly behavior, acceptance of climate-protection policies, and political participation. Methods: Data from four waves (2022–2023) of the Planetary Health Action Survey (PACE) were analyzed (N = 3,830, nonprobabilistic representative German sample). …”

Deformation and Rupture of Thin Steel Plates due to Cumulative Loading from Underwater Shock and Bubble Collapse by Julian J. Lee, Malcolm J. Smith, James Huang, Geoffrey T. Paulgaard

“…Although the main impulsive load on the plate was due to the shock impact, because the standoff distances were less than twice the maximum free-field bubble radius, a strong interaction between the detonation product bubble and the target plate caused a rapid water jet to impinge on the plate, resulting in additional loading and damage. As a result, four main regimes of loading and damage were identified: a) holing/petaling due to shock loading, b) edge tearing due to shock loading only, c) edge tearing due to the cumulative loading from shock and bubble collapse, and d) large deformation due to shock and bubble collapse loading. …”

RESEARCH ON VARIABLE GRADIENT THIN-WALLED ENERGY ABSORBING COMPONENT OF SCOUR-PROOF HYDRAULIC SUPPORT by WANG ChunHua, JIANG HongXing, NIU HuiChao, AN Da

“…In the variable-thickness thinwalled circular tubes with different parameters,the initial peak force,the absorbed energy,the average supporting force and the supporting force fluctuation performance parameters of the variable-gradient thin-walled circular tube members with four sections and thickness difference of 0. 5 mm are superior,which is ZQ3300 anti-shock bracket ideal anti-shock energy absorbing member,The design of the variable-gradient thin-walled circular pipe member can change the position and quantity of the plastic hinge formed by the ordinary thin-walled circular pipe member,so that the deformation of the thin-walled member tends to be more stable in the diamond mode and the mixed mode,and the energy absorption and anti-shock ability is improved.…”

External validation of radiobiological models for local control prediction in lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy by Bao-Tian Huang, Pei-Xian Lin, Ying Wang, Li-Mei Luo

“…However, no significant differences were found among the four models in terms of 3-year LC prediction. The calibration plots, using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, confirmed that the predicted probabilities of the models were in agreement with the actual observation with P>0.05, except for the 2-year LC prediction using the Klement model.ConclusionConsidering the balance between prediction accuracy and model simplicity, it is recommended to utilize the Ohri model for 2-year LC prediction and either the Gucken model or Santiago model for 3-year LC prediction.…”

Control Index for Water Regulation in Fish Breeding Season for Dongta Spawning Ground after Operation of Datengxia Gorge Water Conservancy Project by LIU Lishi, WANG Li, GE Xiaoxia, TAN Xichang

“…After the operation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project,the change in the hydrological rhythm of the downstream river channel may have a certain impact on the function of the Dongta spawning ground about 10 km downstream.To maintain the normal function of the Dongta spawning ground,we should analyze the hydrological rhythm process required for fish spawning and use it as a control index to implement ecological regulation of reservoirs and thus restore the ecological environment of river channels.According to the observation data of early fish resources and hydrology over the past dozen years,the correlation between early fish resources and hydrological characteristic values in the Dongta spawning ground is analyzed by different statistical methods such as grey relational analysis and linear regression.In combination with the practical experience of ecological regulation in the Xijiang River Basin,the control index requirements for water regulation during the fish breeding period by the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project are put forward.Specifically,by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project from May to July every year,when the section flow rate of Dahuangjiangkou exceeds 3 500 m³/s,the water rise duration shall be no less than four days,with the daily rise rate in the water rise stage of more than 1 000 m³/s.The time for water to recede shall be no less than three days,and the flow rate in the water recession stage shall be above 3 500 m³/s.The regulation shall be performed at least once each year.The research results can provide a technical reference for maximizing the function of the Dongta spawning ground in the fish breeding period by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project.…”
