Big data-based evaluation of higher education: Model construction and practice path
Higher Education PressThe Chinese government’s 2020 plan for education evaluation reform emphasizes digital transformation and Big Data integration. This paper, drawing on the experience of Minzu University of China as a case study, analyses existing research and constructs a Big Data-based education evaluation model. The model considers evaluation elements (subjects, content, and methods) and processes (data acquisition, analysis, and feedback) and proposes a comprehensive approach for full business, full process, and full factor evaluation. Challenges, such as data integration and teacher training, are addressed, and practical pathways for implementation are suggested, emphasizing application scenarios, data security, and continuous teacher development.

The high-resolution occultation data from China’s Tianwen-1 probe is first used to study internal gravity waves in the Martian atmosphere
Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd.Peer-Reviewed Publication
Utilizing high-resolution occultation data from China’s Tianwen-1 probe, key parameters of internal gravity waves in the Martian atmosphere—such as vertical wavelength, frequency, and energy density—have been extracted for the first time. These findings are further compared with occultation data obtained from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), providing a more profound analysis of internal gravity wave characteristics across different datasets. Earth and Planetary Physics (English) recently reported these results.

Reveals the regional differences in Earth upper atmosphere response to the May 2024 superstorm
Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd.Peer-Reviewed Publication
A significant space weather phenomenon that has attracted much interest from the scientific community, industry, and the general public is geomagnetic storms. In May 2024, a powerful geomagnetic storm occurred, causing substantial changes in Earth upper atmosphere. A research team from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, carried out a comprehensive investigation to look into how this superstorm affected different regions of the upper atmosphere. They utilized multiple ground-based and satellite observation instruments to examine the response of the ionosphere-thermosphere coupling system. Earth and Planetary Physics has published the study's results.

Development of an RNA virus vector for non-transgenic genome editing in tobacco and generation of Berberine Bridge Enzyme-Like mutants with reduced nicotine content
Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd.Peer-Reviewed Publication
In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors generated non-transgenic tobacco mutants with ultra-low nicotine levels by knocking out BBL gene family members using CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease delivered by an engineered RNA virus vector.
