CNKI late-night notice: Never sell academic misconduct testing services to any individual

According to the Science Network, on the evening of December 11, CNKI's official WeChat public account "CNKI" published an article "Announcement on the Academic Misconduct Literature Detection System", which contained a 2019 statement, stating:

"We believe that the academic misconduct detection system is a serious management tool that can only be used in the business management process of the institution, so this system has also been only providing services to the institution and only allows the testing of the institution's papers." CNKI never sells academic misconduct testing services to any individual. CNKI's academic misconduct detection system sold on the Internet is obtained through illegal or infringing means, and CNKI has been cracking down on it with the cooperation of users. ”

The announcement also contains two notices published in June 2020 and June 2021, as well as a video report on CNKI, which emphasizes that CNKI does not sell academic misconduct testing services to any individual, and the notice mentions that "criminals mainly use legal use of institutional management loopholes and individual managers to steal or steal accounts for profit."

Single fiber for 3D imaging

Traditional endoscopy or hysteroscopy generally uses fiber clusters, with one fiber representing one pixel so that the width of the probe is comparable to that of a finger. Researchers at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom have developed a state-of-the-art technology that enables 3D imaging with video frame rates using fibers that are only the thickness of a human hair. The technology could be applied to industrial inspection and environmental monitoring, or in the future, it could be used in medical imaging.

China presided over the formulation of the first ISO marine survey standard release

The standard was jointly proposed by the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources. The standards stipulate the requirements and recommendations for the investigation of gap biota in marine sediments in the seabed area, as well as scientific and technical methods and norms. Survey items include marine sediments, foraminifera, mesozoans, radiolaria, sedimentary diatoms, algae, sedimentary spore powder, benthic viruses, benthic microorganisms (including bacteria, archaea and fungi), benthic microalgae, benthic protozoa and small benthic organisms, suitable for marine surveys of different benthic habitats in any seafloor area.
