X-ray structure and spectroscopic properties of platinum(II) complexes of 1,1′-biisoquinoline
No full textExploration of Carbon Nanocapsules
No full textCarbon nanocapsules (CNCs) were synthesized with pulse plasma arc discharge method by Dr. Hwang’s group in ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute). High quality CNCs were insoluble in any solvent. For further studying and application, it is crucial to make it soluble.
We successfully functionalized CNCs with azidobenzene which enabled aziridine-modified CNCs adducts to be soluble in common solvents like dichloromethane, chloroform, ether and hexane. CNCs adducts was immobilized on quartz platelet or silicon wafer through spin coating then underwent pyrolysis at temperature of 700 ℃. Carbon nanoballs formed on the surface and were detected by AFM and TEM.
Transformation from graphene layered structure into amorphous framework under nitrogen atmosphere at ambient pressure was observed. Increased content of carbon with sp3 hybridization was confirmed with a greatly enhanced peak at D-band in Raman spectroscopy. Aziridine bond cleavage induced by pyrolysis yielded a radical (or dipolar) intermediate which triggered a chain reaction to afford morphological change. The procedure developed provides a simple route covert sp2 graphene into sp3 amorphous carbon in mild conditions.Acknowledgement ii

Analysis of battles between Wu and Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period
No full textThe research focuses on significant historical events within the 125 years from Duke Xuan of Lu (\ue9\uad\uaf\ue5\uae\ua3\ue5\uac)(608 B.C.)to Duke Ai of Lu(\ue9\uad\uaf\ue5\ue5\uac)(473B.C.) when the country of Wu(\ue5\ub3\ue5) has fallen. The research includes lists and diagrams illustrating the battles. The research also clearly defines the diplomatic relations and the battle process. In the beginning, Chu is more powerful than Wu. Wu is ruled by Chu. However, Wu has a good chance to form an alliance with Jin(\ue6\ue5). The battle of Wu and Chu is a result of the power struggle between Jin and Chu. Wu has a geographical advantage over Chu and has diplomatic relation with Jin. Kings of Wu in successive dynasties select personnel wisely until King Helu of Wu (\ue9\ue5\ubb\uac\ue6\ue6).This period demonstrates national prestige of Wu. Contrary to Wu, Chu grows weaker in time due to internal problems. Wuchen, Duke of Shen(\ue7\ub3\ue5\uac\ue5\ub7\uab\ue8\ua3), joined Jin. And, Wu Zixu(\ue4\ubc\ue5\uad\ue8\ua5) is casted away to Wu. Because of the loss of manpower, Chu can not compete with Jin. Chu supports Yue(\ue8\ub6\ue5) and makes Yue compete with Wu. Wu is made to compete with Yue in the late Spring and Autumn period(\ue6\ua5\ue7\ua7\ue6\ue6). Wu being destroyed by Yue has a great influence on the late Spring and Autumn period.The key to the conflict between Wu and Chu is Battle of Boju. In the Battle of Boju(\ue6\ue8\ue4\ub9\ue6\ub0), Chu is defeated and, in turn, causes the loss of the city of YingYu(\ue9\ua2\ue9\ubd) and the retreat of King Zhao of Chu(\ue6\ua5\ue6\uad\ue7). Winning the Battle of Boju is a great victory for Wu. Later, Qin(\ue7\ua7\ua6\ue5) sends troops to help Chu to defeat Wu. Wu is unstable at thistime and is forced to retreat. As for diplomatic strategies, Chu can not maintain the manpower. As compared to Chu, Wu has a slight advantage over Chu. King Fu Chai of Wu (\ue5\ub3\ue7\ue5\ua4\uab\ue5\ub7\uae) reaches his prime during the Huang Chi Meeting (\ue9\ubb\ue6\ub1\ua0\ue4\ub9\ue6). As for the use of manpower, comparing King Helu and Fu Chai of Wu with the king and Lingyin of Chu(\ue4\ubb\ua4\ue5\ub0\ub9), it can be seen that the wins and the losses between Wu and Chu are due to internal causes. The research includes geographical illustrations of battle areas. And, the dynamics of the battles between Wu and Chu around Yangtze River and Huai River Basin (\ue9\ub7\ue6\ub1\ue6\ub7\uae\ue6\ub0\ub4\ue6\ub5\ue5)is analysed
Original Documents of Yung cheng chu p'i yü chih
No full textThe palace memorials bearing vermillion endorsements handwritten by Ch’ing Emperor Yung-cheng in the possession of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, number more than 22,300 in Chinese, published, unpublished and not to be published, and 890 in Manchu. The Chinese palace memorials published in Yungcheng chu p’i yü chih are only about 7,000; that is, two thirds of the documents still remain unpublished. Comparison of the published documents with their originals reveals considerable textual differences. The published texts frequently omit a passage and replace words and phrases. Many of such abridgements appear to result from political considerations. Stylistically, vernacular forms that often cloud the text of the originals are replaced by classical, more precise expressions in the published text. The same can be said of the imperial vermillion endorsements by Yung-cheng. This must be the result of the editing by the literate staff of the Hanlin Academy done at the time of publication on the original text of the palace memorials that were mostly composed by official clerks, private secretaries who were failed Civil Service Examination candidates, and military officers who had little culture. Also clerical errors found in the originals are corrected in their published form. It should be noted, moreover, that the passages stricken out in the originals by Yung-cheng’s vermillion brush, which are not reproduced in their published form, sometimes carry highly important information. Thus the original documents of Yung cheng chu p’i yü chih are, not only superior in quantity to the published edition, but extremely valuable as primary historical sources. There is not the slightest doubt that, if the originals are printed as they are, study of the history of the Yung-cheng period will advance tremendously.journal articl
