香港股票分析师协会主席邓声兴专访侨雄国际主席李立中

香港, 2024年10月28日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 随着科技的高速发展,数字技术正以新理念、新业态、新模式全面融入人类经济、政治、文化、社会、生态文明建设各领域和全过程,给人类生产生活带来广泛而深刻的影响,中国正在加速进入数字时代。在这个过程当中,以信息技术、区块链、人工智能为代表的新兴科技的发展和应用,将成为推动企业数字化转型的关键因素。作为一家多元化业务的投资控股公司,侨雄国际(00381.HK)成立三十余年来扎实运营实业,同时不断整合公司资源,开拓具有盈利潜力的投资机会。10月4日,侨雄国际发布公告,委任李立中为执行董事兼联席主席,随后在10月10日公司再次发布公告宣布拟更名为权识国际集团股份有限公司。一系列动作显示公司正在加快数字媒体经销行业布局,进一步丰富业务的多元化结构,推动公司更加稳步向前。日前,侨雄国际执行董事兼联席主席李立中接受香港股票分析师协会主席邓声兴博士连线专访,首次对外界透露其对侨雄国际集团未来的展望以及各个业务板块发展战略的思考。资料显示,李立中长期从事人工智能、元宇宙、智联网络、区块链科学研究,这些领域的研究成果不仅推动了科技进步,而且为人类的生活带来了巨大的改变。其工作成果向世界展示了中国科学家的智慧和实力,也为中国在科技领域的发展做出了重要贡献。李立中表示,随着智能时代的到来,人工智能提升生产力可能导致供给端和消费能力不匹配,出现产销双滞的情况。利用区块链技术和web3.0这种数字经济的新形态、新业态、新物种来重构生产关系,可以将个体从单纯的打工人转变为生产资料提供者,使更多人能够参与到生产和价值创造过程中,从而更有效地配置人力、物力等资源,提高资源的利用效率,缓解经济循环不畅的问题。在专访中,李立中提出了共产经济权识生态的概念,旨在通过区块链技术实现生产资料的共享和共建。在这个生态中,每个参与者都可以成为生产资料的提供者、使用者和受益者。通过生产资料映射,可以确保每个参与者的权益得到保障,实现公平、公正、透明的分配机制,这种重构的分配机制将提升民众的收入水平和消费能力,从而解决产能过剩的问题。李立中进一步解释称,该生态模式有助于实现第一次财富分配的相对平衡。通过让更多人成为产业生态的共产者、共建者,参与剩余价值分配体系,能够增加民众的收入来源,缩小贫富差距,为实现共同富裕提供一种新的途径和思路。与此同时,权识的高溢价、高增值可以大幅增强民众的消费能力,这对于企业来说,能够加快产品的销售和库存的消化,降低企业的运营成本和风险,促进企业的健康发展,进而推动整个产业经济的正循环。李立中指出,通过区块链技术重构生产关系,可以推动经济模式的创新和发展。传统的经济模式往往依赖于中心化的机构或平台,而区块链技术可以实现去中心化的经济模式,降低交易成本,提高交易效率。李立中表示,共产经济权识生态的实现需要依托区块链等新兴技术,这将推动相关技术的不断发展和创新。同时,这种新的经济模式也为技术创新提供了更广阔的应用场景和市场需求,加速技术与经济的融合,促进新质生产力的发展。"该模式打破了传统的经济模式和生产关系,鼓励人们以新的方式参与经济活动,为经济发展带来新的思路和方法。这将激发社会的创新活力,推动产业的升级和转型,促进经济的可持续发展。" 李立中说。对于生产数据动态确权的问题,李立中透露,其早在2018年就申请了区块链AOM权识专利技术(专利号:201810475808.3)和区块链行为数据挖矿的专利授权(专利号:201810018810.8),侨雄国际可以利用这些核心专利技术,致力于为产业数据动态确权,真正的让web3.0与实体经济实现交叉融合,从而推动企业数字经济转型。李立中表示,区块链技术为生产数据的动态确权提供了一种创新且有效的解决方案。通过数字身份、智能合约、数据加密和区块链存证等技术手段,可以确保数据的真实性、完整性和可追溯性,为数据的确权提供可靠的技术支持。谈到侨雄国际的数字化转型升级,李立中指出,随着国家"十四五"规划的提出,数字化转型已成为各行各业的发展趋势。侨雄国际作为一家多元化的企业,面临着市场竞争和业务增长的双重压力,因此迫切需要进行数字化转型升级。侨雄国际希望通过数字技术,提供更加个性化、智能化的产品和服务,满足消费者的多样化需求,拓展新的市场渠道,为公司带来了新的业务增长点和发展机遇。"侨雄国际未来会通过相关专利技术对公司各板块业务做全方位的数位经济转型,通过生产资料的标识化,为公司的各个板块注入新的价值与活力。更名为权识国际并推动数字化转型升级,是公司应对市场竞争、实现业务增长的重要举措。" 李立中称。除此以外,李立中还提出,基于"十四五"规划所带来的数字化新浪潮,各行各业将获得更多发展机遇,面对中国社会经济发展新阶段、新特征,侨雄国际未来将利用数字化转型技术赋能于香港的所有的上市公司和实体产业,向数字媒体经销等方向稳定发展,进一步丰富公司业务的多元化结构。李立中认为,实体经济和数字经济相辅相成。数字经济有着更丰富的外延,能够催生新业态、新物种、新模式,实体经济升级后能转变成对应的数字经济,成为数字经济的一部分,这可能是未来的一种生活方式,所以加快发展数字经济是大势所趋,需要行业先锋主动出击,迎接挑战,切实把技术和产业融合起来,推动好技术、好概念真正落地。国家层面也会加大政策扶持力度,完善政策保障体系,提升企业数字化转型积极性,助力实现共同富裕。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

With this positive decision, Atlas Lithium has all the needed authorizations to assemble and run its processing plant and develop open-pit mining operations at one of its lithium deposits. This marks a crucial milestone in the Company's goal of becoming a lithium producer.On October 25, 2024, a voting board comprised of twelve representatives from the local civil society and government unanimously approved Atlas Lithium's license application for its Neves Project, resulting in the formal issuance of the permit. On October 26, 2024, the permit was formally published in the official gazette of the Minas Gerais government. This outcome follows the technical recommendation for approval issued by the Environmental Foundation of Minas Gerais in September 2024.The permit authorizes Atlas Lithium to assemble and operate its lithium processing plant, to process mined ore from one of its deposits at the facility, and to sell the lithium concentrate that it produces. This key development comes after an extensive technical review process by regulatory agencies that began with the Company's initial permit application on September 1, 2023. The triphasic permit obtained by Atlas Lithium is the most expeditious licensing modality available as it encompasses the initial, the installation, and the operating licenses all within this same issued authorization (known as "LI/LP/LO" in the local regulatory terminology).Marc Fogassa, CEO of Atlas Lithium, commented, "We are thrilled with today's announcement, as permitting is widely considered the most critical risk in any mining project. Atlas Lithium's permit reflects fourteen months of our team's meticulous work throughout the licensing process and showcases our unwavering commitment to developing an environmentally responsible and sustainable operation in Brazil's Lithium Valley - a mineral district which is rapidly establishing itself as a premier location in the global lithium supply chain. This milestone marks a key step for us towards becoming a lithium producer and advances Atlas Lithium into the next phase of our growth trajectory.""We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen for all our stakeholders.

Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place by both the Company and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-020, and the uppermost pegmatite interval of drill hole CS-24-021 were re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by the Company.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2 O). Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision.

The Singapore fit report highlights growth in the Education sector and a surge in demand for Marketing & Communications professionals.The tracker reveals an overall year-on-year (YoY) decline of 5% in hiring activity across sectors, as the index dropped from 116 in September 2023 to 110 in September 2024. However, a month-on-month (MoM) analysis indicates a notable 7% surge, with an index of 103 recorded in August 2024.Commenting on Singapore's job trends for September 2024, Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit, said, "The September 2024 foundit Insights Tracker reveals significant shifts in Singapore's job market. Despite a yearly decline, the recent month-on-month growth is a promising sign of recovery. As businesses adapt to changing market conditions, hiring priorities are evolving. Marketing roles are becoming increasingly important as companies focus on data-driven strategies and personalised customer experiences to boost brand engagement and drive growth."Education sector leads industry growth, while Retail/Trade and Logistics and Import/Export sectors show improvementsThe Education sector has emerged as the frontrunner in e-recruitment activity among all monitored industries, showing a 4% MoM growth in September 2024. This growth is fueled by investments from both the government and private sector.Following the Education sector, the Retail/Trade and Logistics sector and the Import/Export sector both showed positive trends with a 3% MoM growth each in September 2024.Several sectors face challenges with declining or stagnant hiring trendsWhile some sectors showed growth, others faced challenges in the job market.

Finance & Accounts roles saw an 11% MoM increase, while Legal roles continued their positive trend with a 9% MoM growth.However, Sales & Business Development roles saw a significant decline of 13% on a month-on-month basis.

Machine learning can predict the mechanical properties of polymers
Machine learning can predict the mechanical properties of polymers

TSUKUBA, Japan, Oct 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars. Because of their ubiquity, it’s vital that materials scientists know exactly how each newly developed polymer will perform under different preparation conditions. Thanks to a new study, which was published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, scientists can now use machine learning to determine what to expect from a new polymer.Machine learning predicts the material properties of new polymers with high accuracy, providing a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods.Predicting the mechanical properties of new polymers, such as their tensile strength or flexibility, usually involves putting them through destructive and costly physical tests. However, a team of researchers from Japan, led by Dr. Ryo Tamura, Dr. Kenji Nagata, and Dr. Takashi Nakanishi from the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, showed that machine learning can predict the material properties of polymers. They developed the method on a group of polymers called homo-polypropylenes, using X-ray diffraction patterns of the polymers under different preparation conditions to provide detailed information about their complex structure and features.“Machine learning can be applied to data from existing materials to predict the properties of unknown materials,” Drs. Tamura, Nagata, and Nakanishi explain. “However, to achieve accurate predictions, it’s essential to use descriptors that correctly represent the features of these materials.”Thermoplastic crystalline polymers, such as polypropylene, have a particularly complex structure that is further altered during the process of molding them into the shape of the end product. It was, therefore, important for the team to adequately capture the details of the polymers’ structure with X-ray diffraction and to ensure that the machine learning algorithm could identify the most important descriptors in that data.The new method accurately captured the structural changes of commonly used plastic Polypropylene during the molding process into the end product.To that end, they analysed two datasets using a tool called Bayesian spectral deconvolution, which can extract patterns from complex data. The first dataset was X-ray diffraction data from 15 types of homo-polypropylenes subjected to a range of temperatures, and the second was data from four types of homo-polypropylenes that underwent injection molding. The mechanical properties analysed included stiffness, elasticity, the temperature at which the material starts to deform, and how much it would stretch before breaking.The team found that the machine learning analysis accurately linked features in the X-ray diffraction imagery with specific material properties of the polymers. Some of the mechanical properties were easier to predict from the X-ray diffraction data, while others, such as the stretching break point, were more challenging.“We believe our study, which describes the procedure used to provide a highly accurate machine learning prediction model using only the X-ray diffraction results of polymer materials, will offer a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods,” the NIMS researchers say.The team also suggested that their Bayesian spectral deconvolution approach could be applied to other data, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and used to understand the properties of other materials, both inorganic and organic.“It could become a test case for future data-driven approaches to polymer design and science,” the NIMS team says.Further informationRyo TamuraNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)tamura.ryo@nims.go.jpKenji NagataNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nagata.kenji@nims.go.jpTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2024.2388016About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Military Metals Adds Key Ground at Its West Gore Antimony Property, Signs Binding LOI to Acquire Additional Claims
Military Metals Adds Key Ground at Its West Gore Antimony Property, Signs Binding LOI to Acquire Additional Claims

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 24, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTC Pink: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") announces it has signed a binding LOI to acquire further claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project ("West Gore" or the "Project") to consolidate the mineralized area. West Gore is a brownfield project with past production, historical high-grade drill results include 7.07 metres of 10.6 gpt gold and 3.4% antimony. During a period of production, it was Canada's most prominent antimony mine.West Gore consists of four Exploration Licenses comprising 585 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada, and the newly acquired ground adds 388 hectares to the immediate northwest of the Project, comprising the balance of the West Gore antimony-gold mineralized system and its historical mine workings. The Company has a three-year option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses for $235,000 spread over the term and the sellers will receive a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") with standard buy-back provisions. It is anticipated the Company will announce the Definitive Agreement within ten days.The historical West Gore mines have a mining history dating back to 1883 and were a significant source of antimony during the First World War, most of which was shipped to England. Total production of gold and antimony between 1883 and 1917, the last recorded year of production, remains unknown. However, between 1914 and 1917 alone, nearly 32,000 metric tons were mined yielding over 7,000 metric tons of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony. The total amount of gold recovered up to 1917 was estimated to be nearly 6,900 ounces. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, the 1980s, and again over the past few years, the West Gore system remains essentially unexplored.With the acquisition of the new claims the Company has gained complete coverage over the entire mineralized system including all the historical mine workings and known antimony-gold occurrences with additional ground along trend in both directions as exhibited in Map 1 below. This in turn enables the Company to approach this antimony-gold system in its entirety to unlock future value. All relevant data are in the process of being compiled into an integrated digital database, with exploration plans to follow.Map 1: West Gore Project ClaimsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/227668_841965127489abc4_001full.jpgAntimony-gold mineralization at West Gore is hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the lower units of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation that were deformed into a northeast-trending, upright, closed syncline and metamorphosed to greenschist facies during the regional Acadian orogeny. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides. Whereas the fold belt strikes northeast-southwest, mineralized structures trend northwest-southeast.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.
