    Objectivity in Quantum Measurement
    with Sheng-Wen Li, C. Y. Cai, and C. P. Sun
    Foundations of Physics 48 (6): 654-667. 2018.
    The objectivity is a basic requirement for the measurements in the classical world, namely, different observers must reach a consensus on their measurement results, so that they believe that the object exists “objectively” since whoever measures it obtains the same result. We find that this simple requirement of objectivity indeed imposes an important constraint upon quantum measurements, i.e., if two or more observers could reach a consensus on their quantum measurement results, their measureme…Read more

    Electrophysiological Correlates of Processing Warning Signs With Different Background Colors: An Event-Related Potentials Investigation
    with Jingpeng Yuan, Zhipeng Song, Ying Hu, Huijian Fu, and Jun Bian
    Frontiers in Psychology 12. 2021.
    Warning signs, as a type of safety signs, are widely applied in our daily lives to informing people about potential hazards and prompting safe behavior. Although previous studies have paid attention to the color of warning signs, they are mostly based on surveys and behavioral experiments. The neural substrates underlying the perception of warning signs with different background colors remain not clearly characterized. Therefore, this research is intended to address this gap with event-related p…Read more

    A Heterogeneous Branching Process with Immigration Modeling for COVID-19 Spreading in Local Communities in China
    with Lin Zhang, Haochen Wang, Zhongyang Liu, Xin Feng, and Ye Wu
    Complexity 2021 1-11. 2021.
    The COVID-19 pandemic spread catastrophically over the world since the spring of 2020. In this paper, a heterogeneous branching process with immigration is established to quantify the human-to-human transmission of COVID-19 in local communities, based on the temporal and structural transmission patterns extracted from public case disclosures by four provincial Health Commissions in China. With proper parameter settings, our branching model matches the actual transmission chains satisfactorily an…Read more

    Concentrating on the Qingdao Observatory, this paper will explore the role of scientific facility in asserting China’s sovereignty during the first half of the twentieth century. Although scholars have explained the efforts of China’s internationalization in diplomacy through the perspectives of politics, economics and culture, they have not paid attention to science. Therefore, this paper aims to shed some light on how scientific issues were solved via diplomacy during the Republic of China, wh…Read more

    Human capital, social capital, psychological capital, and job performance: Based on fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis
    with Qian Xu, Zhe Hou, Chao Zhang, Feng Yu, and Jiangyue Guan
    Frontiers in Psychology 13. 2022.
    The present study investigated the configuration effect of human capital, social capital, and psychological capital on job performance. The human capital questionnaire, social capital scale, psychological capital scale, and job performance scale were used to survey 458 employees. Results revealed that four antecedent configurations could achieve high task performance, and three antecedent configurations can achieve high contextual performance. The high job performance driving path was characteri…Read more
