Author Email: [email protected] All existing x-ray dispersive devices including crystals, multilayers and diffraction gratings generate spectra in multiple orders, whereas soft x-ray spectroscopy applications usually require only the first or- der spectrum. The other diffraction orders can overlap and contaminate the first order spectrum of interest. Such issue is also crucial for synchrotron beam line monochromatization. Higher-order diffractions of diffraction grating may introduce boring higher-order harmonic contamination to the beam when it is used as a monochromator. Here in this presentation the authors report their achievements and progress on the development of single-order diffraction grating for soft x-rays. References [1] L. F. Cao, E. Forster, A.

  • Chinese Privatization: Between Plan and Market
    CHINESE PRIVATIZATION: BETWEEN PLAN AND MARKET LAN CAO* I INTRODUCTION Since 1978, when China adopted its open-door policy and allowed its economy to be exposed to the international market, it has adhered to what Deng Xiaoping called "socialism with Chinese characteristics."1 As a result, it has produced an economy with one of the most rapid growth rates in the world by steadfastly embarking on a developmental strategy of gradual, market-oriented measures while simultaneously remaining nominally socialistic. As I discuss in this article, this strategy of reformthe mere adoption of a market economy while retaining a socialist ownership baseshould similarly be characterized as "privatization with Chinese characteristics,"2 even though it departs markedly from the more orthodox strategy most commonly associated with the term "privatization," at least as that term has been conventionally understood in the context of emerging market or transitional economies. The Russian experience of privatization, for example, represents the more dominant and more favored approach to privatizationcertainly from the point of view of the West and its advisersand is characterized by immediate privatization of the state sector, including the swift and unequivocal transfer of assets from the publicly owned state enterprises to private hands. On the other hand, "privatization with Chinese characteristics" emphasizes not the immediate privatization of the state sector but rather the retention of the state sector with the Copyright © 2001 by Lan Cao This article is also available at http://www.law.duke.edu/journals/63LCPCao. * Professor of Law, College of William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law.

  • Wykorzystanie Biodegradowalnych Polimerów W Rozmnażaniu Ozdobnych Roślin Cebulowych
    Inżynieria Ekologiczna Ecological Engineering Vol. 46, Feb. 2016, p. 143–148 DOI: 10.12912/23920629/61477 WYKORZYSTANIE BIODEGRADOWALNYCH POLIMERÓW W ROZMNAŻANIU OZDOBNYCH ROŚLIN CEBULOWYCH Piotr Salachna1 1 Katedra Ogrodnictwa, Wydział Kształtowania Środowiska i Rolnictwa, Zachodniopomorski Uniwersytet Technologiczny w Szczecinie, ul. Papieża Pawła VI 3, 71-459 Szczecin, e-mail: [email protected] STRESZCZENIE Syntetyczne regulatory wzrostu mają negatywny wpływ na środowisko stąd coraz częściej w ogrodnictwie wyko- rzystuje się naturalne biostymulatory. Niektóre naturalne polimery wykazują stymulujący wpływ na wzrost i roz- wój roślin. Związki te mogą być stosowane do tworzenia hydrożelowych otoczek na powierzchni organów roślin- nych w celu ochrony przed niekorzystnym wpływem czynników zewnętrznych. Gatunki eukomis są powszechnie stosowane w tradycyjnej medycynie Afryki Południowej i znajdują szerokie zastosowanie jako ozdobne rośliny cebulowe. Celem badań było określenie wpływu otoczkowania w biopolimerach sadzonek dwułuskowych dwóch odmian eukomis czubatej (‘Sparkling Burgundy’ i ‘Twinkly Stars’) na plon i jakość uzyskanych cebul przybyszo- wych. Sadzonki otoczkowano w 1% roztworze gumy gellanowej (Phytagel) lub 0,5% roztworze oligochitozanu. Stwierdzono, że otoczkowanie sadzonek w gumie gellanowej miało stymulujący wpływ na liczbę i masę cebul przybyszowych. Najsilniejszy system korzeniowy wytworzyły cebule uformowane na sadzonkach otoczkowa- nych w oligochitozanie. Porównując odmiany wykazano, że ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ wytworzyła więcej cebul, które jednocześnie miały większą masę i dłuższe korzenie niż ‘Twinkly Stars’. Słowa kluczowe: eukomis czubata, oligochitozan, guma gellanowa, sadzonki dwułuskowe. THE USE OF BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS TO PROPAGATION OF ORNAMENTAL BULBOUS PLANTS ABSTRACT Synthesized growth regulators may cause a negative impact on the environment so the use of natural bio-stimula- tors in horticulture is becoming more popular. Some biopolymers can have a stimulating influence on the growth and development of plants.

  • Glottal Stop Initials and Nasalization in Sino-Vietnamese and Southern Chinese
    Glottal Stop Initials and Nasalization in Sino-Vietnamese and Southern Chinese Grainger Lanneau A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Zev Handel William Boltz Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2020 Grainger Lanneau University of Washington Abstract Glottal Stop Initials and Nasalization in Sino-Vietnamese and Southern Chinese Grainger Lanneau Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Zev Handel Asian Languages and Literature Middle Chinese glottal stop Ying [ʔ-] initials usually develop into zero initials with rare occasions of nasalization in modern day Sinitic1 languages and Sino-Vietnamese. Scholars such as Edwin Pullyblank (1984) and Jiang Jialu (2011) have briefly mentioned this development but have not yet thoroughly investigated it. There are approximately 26 Sino-Vietnamese words2 with Ying- initials that nasalize. Scholars such as John Phan (2013: 2016) and Hilario deSousa (2016) argue that Sino-Vietnamese in part comes from a spoken interaction between Việt-Mường and Chinese speakers in Annam speaking a variety of Chinese called Annamese Middle Chinese AMC, part of a larger dialect continuum called Southwestern Middle Chinese SMC. Phan and deSousa also claim that SMC developed into dialects spoken 1 I will use the terms “Sinitic” and “Chinese” interchangeably to refer to languages and speakers of the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. 2 For the sake of simplicity, I shall refer to free and bound morphemes alike as “words.” 1 in Southwestern China today (Phan, Desousa: 2016). Using data of dialects mentioned by Phan and deSousa in their hypothesis, this study investigates initial nasalization in Ying-initial words in Southwestern Chinese Languages and in the 26 Sino-Vietnamese words.

  • Modification of Einstein a Coefficient in Dissipative Gas Medium Cao
    f f J / , / -- Modification of Einstein A coefficient in dissipative gas medium Cao Chang-qi Department of Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871 Cao Hui (H.Cao) Edward L. Ginzton Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford,CA 94305,USA Qin Ke-cheng Department of Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871. Abstract Spontaneous radiation in dissipative gas medium such as plasmas is investigated by Langevin equations and the modified Weisskopf-Wigner approximation. Since the refrac- tive index of gas medium is expected to be nearly unity, we shall first neglect the medium polarization effect. We show that absorption in plasmas may in certain case modify the Einstein A coefficient significantly and cause a pit in the A coefficient-density curves for relatively low temperature plasmas and also a pit in the A coefficient-temperature curves. In the next, the effect of medium polarization is taken into account in addition. To our surprise, its effect in certain case is quite significant. The dispersive curves show different behavious in different region of parameters. 1 Introduction This work is motivated by an effect called by the original authors [11as "quenching of Einstein A coefficient": the ratio of two line intensities I(580520 and I(31221) from a common upper level of Cxy is reduced by an order of magnitude when the eletron density Are changes from 101S/cm a to 1019/cm a. But there is some dispute about the interpretation of their experiments. Our work is to see whether this effect is possible theoretically. Physically, spontaneous emission is resulted from atom (ion) with "vacuum" electromagnetic field, therefore Einstrein A coefficient is a characteristic parameter of the total atom-field system, not just of atom itself.

  • (And Misreading) the Draft Constitution in China, 1954
    Textual Anxiety Reading (and Misreading) the Draft Constitution in China, 1954 ✣ Neil J. Diamant and Feng Xiaocai In 1927, Mao Zedong famously wrote that a revolution is “not the same as inviting people to dinner” and is instead “an act of violence whereby one class overthrows the authority of another.” From the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 until Mao’s death in 1976, his revolutionary vision became woven into the fabric of everyday life, but few years were as violent as the early 1950s.1 Rushing to consolidate power after finally defeating the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, or KMT) in a decades- long power struggle, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) threatened the lives and livelihood of millions. During the Land Reform Campaign (1948– 1953), landowners, “local tyrants,” and wealthier villagers were targeted for repression. In the Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries in 1951, the CCP attacked former KMT activists, secret society and gang members, and various “enemy agents.”2 That same year, university faculty and secondary school teachers were forced into “thought reform” meetings, and businessmen were harshly investigated during the “Five Antis” Campaign in 1952.3 1. See Mao’s “Report of an Investigation into the Peasant Movement in Hunan,” in Stuart Schram, ed., The Political Thought of Mao Tse-tung (New York: Praeger, 1969), pp. 252–253. Although the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) was extremely violent, the death toll, estimated at roughly 1.5 million, paled in comparison to that of the early 1950s. The nearest competitor is 1958–1959, during the Great Leap Forward.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The Ideology and Significance of the Legalists School and the School Of
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 351 4th International Conference on Modern Management, Education Technology and Social Science (MMETSS 2019) The Ideology and Significance of the Legalists School and the School of Diplomacy in the Warring States Period Chen Xirui The Affiliated High School to Hangzhou Normal University [email protected] Keywords: Warring States Period; Legalists; Strategists; Modern Economic and Political Activities Abstract: In the Warring States Period, the legalist theory was popular, and the style of reforming the country was permeated in the land of China. The Seven Warring States known as Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Wei and Zhao have successively changed their laws and set the foundation for the country. The national strength hovers between the valley and school’s doctrines have accelerated the historical process of the Great Unification. The legalists laid a political foundation for the big country, constructed a power framework and formulated a complete policy. On the rule of law, the strategist further opened the gap between the powers of the country. In other words, the rule of law has created conditions for the cross-border family to seek the country and the activity of the latter has intensified the pursuit of the former. This has sparked the civilization to have a depth and breadth thinking of that period, where the need of ideology and research are crucial and necessary. This article will specifically address the background of the legalists, the background of these two generations, their historical facts and major achievements as well as the research into the practical theory that was studies during that period.
