Classical geopolitics,realism and the balance of power theory

Since the end of World War II, classical geopolitics as a particular form of realism has been disengaged from the development of mainstream realist theories. This disengagement has not only concealed the value of classical geopolitics as a framework of analysis for policy and strategy, but also created an increasing rift between theory and policy in contemporary realist theories. This paper seeks to reengage classical geopolitics with mainstream realist theories by clarifying its realist traits and analytical characteristics, (re)stating its core propositions and probing into its potential contribution to the development of mainstream realist theories. This paper contends that classical geopolitics, while having a distinctive pedigree, can arguably be considered an integral part of the family of realist theories in view of its basic theoretical assumptions concerning international anarchy, the unit of analysis and power politics. As a framework of analysis, classical geopolitics incorporates three interrelated strategic propositions. Those three propositions not only constitute the theoretical core of classical geopolitics, but also manifest a peculiar balance-of-power conception that is essentially distinct from those proposed by mainstream realist theories. This paper argues that those three propositions combined promise to fill in prominent lacuna in the balance-of-power research programme, and also have significant implications for contemporary world politics.

杂散参数对串联型磁脉冲压缩器输出特性影响*

使用电路模拟软件(P-Spice)分析了脉冲电容器自身电感、磁开关绕组匝间电容以及磁芯处于不同工作状态时,磁开关绕组自身阻抗等杂散参数对串联型磁脉冲压缩器输出特性的影响。结果表明,匝间电容和磁芯处于未饱和状态下的绕组自身电阻对系统的输出特性影响相对较小;磁芯处于饱和状态时,绕组自身阻抗对系统的电压传输效率影响较大;脉冲电容器的自身电感不仅会降低系统的电压传递效率,同时会影响到输出脉冲上升沿的宽度。基于以上的结论,对单级串联型磁脉冲压缩器进行了优化设计并研制了一台输出峰值电压26kV,脉冲上升时间由4.1us压缩到1.2us的串联型磁脉冲压缩器,电压传输效率大于92.5%。     

Ku波段高功率TM0n-TM01混合模式转换器设计(高功率微波专题组稿)*

由于过模Ku波段高功率微波返波管通常输出TM0n混合模式,在保证较高能量转换效率的条件下,难以同时兼顾其输出模式的纯度,而辐射终端为达到理想发射效果则要求单一模式馈入,这就给输出混合模式微波源的实际应用带来困难。针对这一技术难点,本文提出了一种结构紧凑的TM0n-TM01（n ≤ 3）混合模式转换器的设计方法,可以实现在高功率容量条件下,较宽频带范围内,高效地将TM0n混合模式转换为单一的TM01模,降低了此类高频段HPM源模式纯化设计的难度。

SiC光学材料的电弧增强等离子体加工方法

Si C光学材料具有高化学稳定性,其在普通的等离子体加工中难以获得较高的加工效率。在等离子体加工实验中,发现提高等离子体的自身射频电压可增强等离子体与Si C材料之间的电弧放电作用,而借助电弧的增强作用可提高Si C材料的加工效率,因此提出电弧增强等离子体加工方法。为研究电弧的形成原理,使用自制的探针分别测量了普通电感耦合等离子体和电弧增强等离子体的电压。分别使用传统方法和电弧增强方法对S-Si C进行直线扫描加工实验,证明了电弧增强等离子体加工方法具有更高的加工效率。     

White hull or white elephant? Soft power and the Chinese hospital ship,the Peace Ark

Although soft power is now seen as an indispensable foreign policy tool, its efficacy has rarely been put to a rigorous empirical test. Using data from HARMONIOUS MISSIONs 2010, 2011 and 2013, this article seeks to examine the degree to which the soft power engagement missions of the Chinese hospital ship, the Peace Ark, has advanced Chinese interests. Although any conclusions drawn must be considered preliminary, as so little time has passed between the ship's visits and the current analysis, this research indicates that these missions’ impact on advancing Chinese interests was at best limited. Although observations from a single set of cases are unlikely to settle the debate between soft power advocates and detractors, it is hoped that this research will serve as a catalyst to further empirically based research on this topic.

电磁脉冲对高频结构的热效应分析

对于Cerenkov型器件,由高频结构温升引发的热脱附会造成的射频击穿,进而导致输出功率降低和脉冲缩短。基于此,研究了电磁脉冲对高频结构的加热温升效应,推导了高频结构的温升公式,指出了理论公式的适用范围,并给出了数值求解试件温升的方法。以二周期1 MV·cm^-1的高频结构为例,进行了温升的数值计算和仿真研究。结果表明,脉宽100 ns的单脉冲对不锈钢试件的温升效应明显高于其他材料。当系统工作在高重频时,电磁脉冲的温升作用可能使金属材料达到气体脱附的阈值从而引发气体脱附形成局部高压。该研究可为高功率微波源中的气体脱附以及射频击穿等研究提供参考。
