This article points out that, first of all, based on the theoretical analysis of national strategic development and management, it can be judged that the corruption governance of China has promoted reforms, strengthened the party's capacity for governance and authority, and promoted to achieve the Chinese nation's bright prospect on the road to revival. At the same time, it inevitably restricts the work motivation of some cadres to a certain extent. Secondly, the individualization of interests is a deep-seated law of the lack of work motivation of many cadres, and it is also the cause of the deterioration of the political ecology, reflecting the lack of political ideology. Third, solving the problems of the incompleteness of the ultimate goal of national development and the confusion of visions is the key to creating a political ecology of politically pure. The interpretation of political theory that advances with the times is the prerequisite for radically eliminating ideological ambiguities and the legality of governance. Finally, Mao Zedong Thought is a complete set of methodology that meets the requirements of the philosophy of science. When applied, theoretical innovation can be carried out, so as to continue the sinicization of Marxism, and to come up with countermeasures and suggestions for radically eliminating the problem of dynamism and political ecological deterioration.

Sap flow measurements with heat-balance sap-flow (HBSF) sensors are subject to errors due to temperature heterogeneity across the plant stem. Here we develop and evaluate an empirical calibration for HBSF sensors to measure transpiration rates (T) of maize (Zea mays L.). A pot experiment was used to establish an empirical calibration equation relating T determined by a mass balance method and sap flow velocity (V) measured with HBSF sensors. The calibration equation was tested in a field weighing lysimeter study, a pot study from the literature, and an additional dataset where V was measured with HBSF sensors, and T was determined from independent measurements of evapotranspiration and evaporation. In all studies, HBSF sensor measured V overestimated T, and the errors displayed diurnal dynamics: small in the evening and early morning, became larger with increasing T, and reached a maximum when solar irradiance was the largest. A linear calibration equation, T' = 0.65V + 0.39, was established to convert measured V (g plant-1 h-1) values to corrected transpiration rates T' (g plant-1 h-1). Using this equation, the largest sap flow error was reduced by 60, 50, and 50% in the lysimeter experiment, pot experiment, and field study, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
