王应宽 Beijing, China 2014-03-02 IJABE Editorial OpenAccess Leads to Success WangYingkuan ( Chinese Academyof Agricultural Engineering , Beijing 100125, China ) Wang Y K. IJABE Editorial: Open access leads to success. Int. J. Agric. Biol. Eng, 2014;7(1): 01-02. DOI: 10.3965/j.ijabe. 20140701.000 International Journal of Agricultural andBiological Engineering (IJABE, www.ijabe.org) is a peer reviewed open accessinternational journal, launched in 2008. Open access (OA) means unrestricted online access to peer-reviewedscholarly research. OA literature is free, digital, and available to anyoneonline. An open-access article haslimited copyright and licensing restrictions which means anyone, anywhere, withaccess to the Internet may read, download, copy, and distribute that article. As an OA journal, the papers published inIJABE are freely accessible online immediately upon publication via the IJABE website. With the OA strategy, IJABE can reach abroader spectrum of readership by removing price barriers (subscriptions,licensing fees, pay-per-view fees) that some individual readers may experience. Because open access provides barrier-freeaccess to information, readers and researchers anywhere in the world can readscholarly output that has been made available in an open-access journal. A wider audience, in turn, has the potentialto increase the impact of the research presented in an open-access article;i.e., the more readers, the greater the impact. Many studies indicate that open-accessarticles are more immediately and more frequently cited than non- open-accessarticles. For example, a 2006 study by aUniversity of Southamptonresearcher in the United Kingdom found that authors of OA articlesreceive 50% to 250% more citations. Morerecent research shows that there are different levels of OA citation advantagefor different disciplines: 170% to 580% increase for Physics/Astronomy, 300% to450% increase for Medicine, and 200% to 600% increase for Agriculture. Increased citation rates lead to greaterresearch impact. Therefore, the way tomaximize the impact of your research findings is to maximize the exposure toyour work. Publishing in OA journals is generally recognized as the mostefficient way to maximize your impact. Meanwhile, in order to help to shareknowledge and creativity with the global scientific community and to protectauthors’ intellectual property (as with any scholarly article, traditional orotherwise), authors of an OA article should be properly acknowledged and cited. IJABE adopts the Creative CommonsAttribution 3.0 License (CC-BY3.0) to support these goals. IJABE provides a platform for sharing thelatest high-quality research concerning agricultural, food and biologicalengineering and the application of these engineering techniques in all areas ofagriculture. The journal features worksof great significance, originality, and relevance in all of the primaryareas. Our readers are from theinternational scientific community and include educators, policy makers,agricultural engineers and scientists, and interested members of the publicaround the world. IJABE has establishedstrong quality control in the overall publication process, with the help of aninternational editorial board including over 300 renowned experts from about 50countries and a high-quality editorial team, by performing rigorous peerreview, repeated revision for improvement, professional editing andproofreading, academic misconduct checking such as multiple contributionsof the same manuscript, and checks for fabricated data, falsified results,pleonasm or plagiarizing, and unwarrantable authorship and signature.

Japan 's next generation of stars have staked their respective claims for a berth in the nation’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ squad, after an experimental side dethroned holders China PR to clinch their first-ever EAFF East Asian Cup title in dramatic fashion. An opening 3-3 draw against the Chinese was followed by two narrow wins over Australia and hosts Korea Republic as Alberto Zaccheroni's team emerged tournament victors for the first time. Fielding entirely home-based players - one third of whom were uncapped heading into the competition - the Italian was aiming to blood some new players amid the cut and thrust of international football. And his young charges opened brightly, leading China 3-1 on the hour-mark only to see the defending champions draw level with two late strikes to steal a point in the opener. With Zaccheroni's new-look side beginning to gel, they proved largely dominant against tournament debutants Australia in securing a 3-2 victory. The closing match saw Samurai Blue edge hosts Korea Republic 2-1 to clinch the championship with tournament top-scorer Yoichiro Kakitani scoring in each half. The raw statistics, however, do not tell the full story with Japan ’s crucial second goal coming in injury time of a winner-takes-all contest, while a draw would have seen Samurai Blue level on all counts alongside the Chinese, and requiring a countback on yellow and red cards to determine a tournament winner. "I’m really happy," said an ecstatic Zaccheroni. "This tournament has turned out to be a very positive one for us. Most of our players were new to the national team, but they understood my message and the philosophy of our team and displayed that on the pitch. "It’s also a good sign for Japanese football as we were able to show that we have such good players in Japan . I hope they can continue working hard and become good competitors for the current regular players on our national team." New stars shine brightly Indeed, the former Juventus coach's confidence was not unfounded with a host of under-23 talents unearthed on their full international debut. Kakitani emerged Japan 's biggest revelation of the campaign with three goals from two matches. His Cerezo Osaka team-mate Hotaru Yamaguchi , meanwhile, earned the tournament's Most Valued Player award for his outstanding creative displays. Forward Yuya Osako, too, excelled including completing a brace against Australia , while Kashiwa Reysol marksman Masato Kudo continued his fine club form, netting one and setting up another against China. With just one goal scored and two points gained, new Korea Republic boss Hong Myungbo saw his first competition in charge end in disappointing fashion, on the scoreboard at least. In all three games the hosts, cheered on by their vociferous home crowd, enjoyed the lion's share of possession and fashioned out numerous chances only to lack the necessary accuracy and aplomb to convert. Still, Hong's new boys, captained by FC Seoul midfielder Ha Daesung, provided a silver lining through their youthful exuberance and relentless attacking play. The 21-year-old Yun Illok - who figured prominently at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup as Korea Republic progressed into the last eight - turned in a dynamic showing against Japan , highlighted by his blistering long-range effort on the half-hour to equalise. Despite finishing bottom in their debut East Asian Cup, Holger Osieck's Australia returned home with some positives, thanks to the bright showing of several young attackers. The tournament debutants, who edged past Korea DPR to qualify last December, never gave up without fight although they found themselves on their back foot in all three games. Mitchell Duke and Tomi Juric, both of whom earned their first international call-up, earned a deserved reward for some tireless endeavour as each scored late on with Australia coming from behind to draw level against Japan , only to see Osako score the match-winner just as the spoils seemed set to be shared. Duke was again on target against China, striking in stoppage-time to put the game on a knife's edge in a 4-3 thriller. Holder's redemption Despite conceding the championship to Japan , it proved a redemptive campaign for China who arrived in Seoul in the wake of their disastrous 5-1 home friendly loss to Thailand last month; a result which cost Spaniard Jose Antonio Camacho his job. Under stand-in manager Fu Bo, the holders battled from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Japan in the opener and, after holding hosts Korea Republic to a goalless tie, they rounded off the competition with a resounding defeat of Australia . Both Dalian Aerbin forward Yu Dabao and Shandong Luneng midfielder Wang Yongbo impressed against Japan , with the latter twice converting spot-kicks. Yu continued his form against Australia including opening the scoring inside five minutes, but it was a young trio that stole the show. Sun Ke capitalised on a rebound to make it 2-1 in China's favour, while Zhang Xizhe came close on more than one occasions. Having had a hand in their second goal, 21-year-old Wu Lei made it 4-1 by breaking his international duck with a fine solo effort. "These young players have long played key roles with their respective clubs," said coach Fu. "The East Asian Cup provided them with a good chance to gain international experiences. It may remain premature to predict whether they will become icons, but they will surely form the backbone of the future national team." 原文见 http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=2141083.html
April 10, 2012 in Leadership , Success with 21 Comments By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth What would you do if you didn’t need to work? Golf, travel, volunteer, spend time with family and friends, teach, go into politics – the list of options are virtually endless. A friend of mine called me today, told me the sale of his business had closed, and then informed me he had enough money to never need to work again. He told me he was calling to ask what I would do if I didn’t have to work again. I was impressed with his logical pursuit of advice and counsel, but wasn’t at all surprised that he was searching for a bit of direction. While many entrepreneurs tirelessly seek their exit by disposition, few have spent a great deal of time planning what life after work looks like. In today’s post I’ll ask a few questions and share a few thoughts with the goal of causing you to think about what defines you. I want to begin today’s post with an excerpt from my book “ Leadership Matters…The CEO Survival Manual :“ “By the time you reach the CEO level you should be striving to move beyond success and towards significance. You need to use your network, your wealth, your experience and intellect, as well as your passion to create a legacy that transcends your title. Having the advantage of hindsight, I can say with great certainty that who you are a a person is infinitely more important than the job you hold. There are few things in life as thought provoking as witnessing what by all outward appearances seems to be a successful executive, but as you begin to peel back the layers of their carefully crafted veneer you quickly come to realize they are little more than an empty, bitter, and frustrated person. They work their entire career chasing some illusive form of fulfillment only to fade into the sunset with nothing more than an empty lifetime of regrets as their reward.” While my friend is the farthest thing from the illustration provided in the aforementioned quote, I have seen far too many people fall into this category. My hope in authoring this piece is to have you adjust your thinking when it comes to the definition of success. My clients usually tend to be successful individuals prior to finding me. My goal is to simply help them leverage their success into significance over the course of our dealings. The sad reality is that far too many people either confuse success with significance, or they are so focused on success that they are actually blind to the meaning of significance. Just take a look around and you’ll see that most people use their knowledge, resources, and experience to acquire things in an attempt to satisfy their personal desires, which in their minds constitutes success. Contrast this with the people that use their knowledge, resources, and experience to serve and benefit others, which by my standards constitutes significance. Sure, for those “who get it” success and significance are one in the same, but for most professionals success begins and ends with the achievement of a certain list of personal goals with little regard to the impact on others. These people confuse success with significance, and regardless of their wealth and professional accomplishments, they fail to accomplish the true greatness that only comes through making significant contributions to something other than one’s self. I don’t care how your resume reads, what your net worth is, or what your W-2 shows – what’s important is your underlying motivation as evidenced by what you do with what you have. I am always impressed by those who choose a life of service over personal glory, or those who understand how to leverage their personal success into significance. While most of my clients have acquired significant material possessions, they just don’t live their lives according to a “he or she who has the most toys wins” philosophy. They don’t give because their accountant told them to, or solely for estate planning purposes, they give to make a difference. They don’t throw trivial contributions to a variety of charities to see their name appear on donor’s lists, they make substantial contributions (usually with little if any self-promotion). It all boils down to motivation – are you only pursuing fun, fame, fortune, and recognition, or are you seeking to serve and benefit others with what you have? It is my opinion that when you start to define your personal success by the value you add to the lives of others you have arrived as a mature human being who possesses true influence and has become a person of significance. My challenge to you is this – set the chinning bar very high for yourself by reevaluating your goals and objectives to ensure you are on a path towards significance. Don’t allow yourself to become blinded by your success, rather leverage your success in an attempt to make a lasting and significant legacy for which you and your family can be proud. So, what would you do if you never had to work again? What defines you? C ‘mon you know you’ve thought about it – share your thoughts in the comments below
4th International Symposium on Surfaces and Interfaces for Biomaterials http://issib.org/ The series of International Symposium on Surface and Interface of Biomaterials (ISSIB) was conceived in 2005 and the first conference in this series (ISSIB-2007) was held in Chengdu, China, in October 2007. Following the great success of ISSIB-2007, the International Symposium on Surface and Interface of Biomaterials took place in Hong Kong in January 2010 and in Japan in 2011. Surfaces and interfaces in biomaterials are key issues in the biomaterials and tissue engineering field and form a key scientific base for the rapid development in this field. They are at the forefront of biomaterials R D, and play a major role for technology transfer toward industries. In this context, the 4 th ISSIB-2013 aims to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers, clinicians and medical device manufacturers to present and discuss the latest scientific findings and technological developments in a very challenging context connected with surfaces and interfaces of biomaterials. The synthesis, characterization, testing, modeling, assessment, application, and other pertinent aspects of the surface and interface of biomaterials will be covered by the conference. The 4 th ISSIB-2013 will promote multidisciplinary and transversal research, with international and inter-institutional collaborations. Through sharing new ideas and discussing concepts at the cutting edge of the field important issues regarding biomaterials surface and interface can and will be tackled, thus advancing the science and engineering of biomaterials. Prospective authors are cordially invited to 1) register their name in our newsletter to keep them updated and 2) submit abstract(s) and paper(s) to the 4 th ISSIB-2013. Student participation is strongly encouraged. Affordable lodging will be especially proposed for students and delegates. Rome was selected for hosting this event mainly for its broad international and unique historical dimension, as well as its safeness for delegates, and easy accessibility. We already committed for offering a very genuine and affordable experience, at both scientific and personal level. We look forward to meeting delegates from various parts of the world in Rome in September 2013! Diego Mantovani, PhD Laval University, Canada On behalf of the Organising Committee

Contrarians wisdom: To illustrate a big idea that appears to challenge conventional thinking. Main themes: Theme 1: Great success is hardly ever solely the result of extraordinary innate talent but of other factors, such as luck, accidents of timing, exceptional opportunity and an appetite for plain hard work . Theme 2: We are all of us, for better or worse, products of our cultural background . Examples: Elite Canadian ice-hockey players the age factor in the selection process and eligibility.The boys born a few months early have a size and strength advantage over boys born later, due to January 1st cut-off date. Microsofts Bill Gates vs. Suns Bill Joy due to Mr. Gates good fortune of attending an expensive school at the age 13 and having almost unlimited access to a time-sharing compute terminal (something nearly unheard of at the time), he had exactly the right combination of age and experience to spot its potential.The rest is then history. Why Chinese graduate students are more successful and productive in their academic achievements in the US universities, compared to their counterparts in China (the effect of academic culture, environment and sometime mentorship). The point is that though natural ability is important, other things matter more in determining success. You have to be smart, but only smart enough to success; raw talent includes: Be in the right place at the right time Have the right antecedents (affluent, caring parents are a big help) Seize the chance to get in lots of practice (the 10,000-hour rule) Cultural Inheritance: Chinese and Japanese are better at maths and have no traditions of taking long holidays, based on an interesting hypothesis of the effect of cultivating rice for many thousands of years on mathematical aptitude and attitudes to work. In summary, the compelling conclusion is that by understanding better what makes people successful we should be able to produce more successful and happier people .

At the end of my presentation, Tim teacher said tai hao le when I sent my handout to him. Instantaneously, I felt my work paid off. Of importance is that I spent 7 days (not net time) preparing the 3-minutes presentation. As far as I am concerned, 3-minutes presentation means more than an oral English text, and it brings me an absolutely good opportunity to practice. Just as Tim said, we treat it as a practice rather than a test, and we are here for fun. Actually, we have learned a lot from the practice. The following is the procedure of my preparation. At the beginning, about a week ago, I chose the topic how to elaborate a perfect resume, based on my relevant materials. Later, I made ppt slides, and It cost less time. After that I wrote the handout associated with ppt slides for a whole morning. However, I found a quite number of problems existed when I related my handout to ppt slides. Consequently, I had to modify them. Among modifications were deletions, additions, transformations and so on. Beyond imagination, the process of modification cost me more time. In the following days, I had been practicing the presentation. Firstly, I needed to turn to the handout since forgetting words were usual. Gradually, I could tell the topic fluently, abandoning the handout. Lately, I discovered interactions with audience were lacked, so I designed some special interactions plot into the presentation, and then tried the effect. Then I practiced for no less than 30 times, in class, before sleeping, even when walking. Another key point is that I had to suppose the scene and tried eye contact, body language, meanwhile controlling time. At last, I typed my handout and copied them for audience. Just one hour before presentation, a bug occurred. When I read my handout again, I found a spelling error. What should I do? I spent a quarter correcting the error one by one. Why did I spare no efforts to prepare the presentation? One key reason is that I am inspired by lecture preparation experience of Bill gates. Early spring this year, Bill gates was invited to make a lecture by his alma mater-- Harvard University. For the lecture, he prepared for half a year. You cant imagine such a famous figure spent such a long time preparing a lecture. At the start, he discussed how to choose an appropriate subject with his team workers. Then he collected sufficient relevant materials for his lecture. Even he asked help from famous figures such as Warren Buffett etc. when the handout was completed, he tried practicing it in his office, at home, even on holiday. As a result, he addresses a perfect lecture in Harvard University, and he also received an honorary PhD degree granted by Harvard University. I thank Bill gates, Tim teacher, my partner Y. J. ZHANG, and my career teacher N. HUANG with Intel and H. LI with Deloitte, and they all contributed to my presentation.
