Unpacking value destruction at the intersection between public and private value
Public Administration, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1207-1226, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Public services do not always create value. Rather, when poorly organized and/or delivered, they can destroy value and make service users' lives worse. However, such “value destruction” is presently weakly conceptualized in public management theory. Consequently, this paper is devoted to the empirical examination of value destruction and hence

Relational peace versus pacific primacy: Configuring US strategy for Asia's regional order
Asian Politics &Policy, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 141-152, January 2023., 2023 Abstract This article challenges the presumption that American commitment to the greater Indo‐Pacific region has positive effects on regional stability. It argues that the degree to which America's strategic choices in Asia embrittle or consolidate peace depends on how they intersect with relational configurations of regional order.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 1993 根据以往的研究，应用力学原理提出了能量抗冲指标，避免了研究同一冲样抗冲性受雨强、坡度等因素影响的可变性，增强了研究对象的可比性。研究表明，参试枯落物的抗冲能力随其厚度递增，其中油松、山杨、沙棘、刺槐这些枯落物层下的土壤抗冲能力也与其自身抗冲性一致。枯落物能减轻土壤冲失主要是由于它能降低径流速度，当有0．5cm枯落物层时，可降低流速度80％－90％。
