Assisi. Un incontro inaspettato. Con il Cantico delle creature di san Francesco
No full textChi d’esso loco fa parole, / non dica Ascesi, ché direbbe corto, / ma Orïente, se proprio dir vuole. I versi del Paradiso dantesco che nominano Assisi, in cui nacque al mondo un sole chiamato Francesco, suonano come un pronostico, se letti nel contesto del libretto amorosissimo di Cheng. Qui Oriente e Occidente, tradizione taoista e cristianità scoprono la loro comunione grazie all’universalità del santo più venerato. A testimoniarla, in una scrittura tersa che ha la chiarità delle estati umbre, è un migrante giunto in Francia dalla Cina. Adesso è una gloria letteraria nella terra che l’ha accolto, ma quando vide per la prima volta Assisi, nel 1961, non era che un giovane esule in preda allo spaesamento. Di quell’incontro inaspettatamente abbagliante con i luoghi francescani volle serbare per sempre memoria iscrivendolo nel suo stesso nome: all’atto della naturalizzazione francese, dieci anni dopo, scelse François al posto del cinese Chi-hsien, celebrante la saggezza. Origini e approdi si pongono così per lui sotto il segno di una segreta alleanza, di cui Francesco diventa l’emblema. Se ne cercherebbe invano, in queste pagine, l’immagine agiografica tutta mansuetudine e candore. «Il Grande Vivente», lo chiama Cheng, e ne avverte la presenza di «eterno contemporaneo» soprattutto tra le rocce incorruttibili che gli fecero da giaciglio. All’intellettuale cinese istruito nella geomantica del Tao, l’antica arte di decifrare l’energia dei paesaggi, la topografia della santità – l’Eremo delle Carceri, la Porziuncola, San Damiano – manifesta subito il proprio corpo vivo e pulsante. Ecco il luogo, il mio luogo! È qui che il mio esilio avrà fine

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to understand and analyze the contents and the status of the development of 398 master’s theses and their 26803 references in sport management during 1993-2003 in Taiwan. The Content Analysis was used as the study’s main research method, with the assistance of the Citation Analysis. The instrument “content analysis checklist of master’s theses in sport management in Taiwan” was used to collect data. The data was statistically analyzed in terms of Frequency Distribution and Percentage, Chi-square. The results showed as the followings：
1.The total number of master’s theses in sport management has been growing significantly since 1998. The total number of master’s theses in sport management in different areas has been in unbalanced distribution. There were six major universities playing the key roles in terms of sport management research.
2.The main three research topics of the master’s theses were Sport Marketing Management（Sponsorship included）, Sport Management, Organization and Leadership, Sport Leisure Management.
3.There was no significant correlation found among master’s theses in different years and research topics. The significant correlations were found between these master’s theses were correlations among research purposes, research areas, research instruments, and computerize statistical software.
4.There was no significant correlation found among master’s theses in different areas, research purposes, research areas, research instruments, and computerize statistical software. The significant correlations were found between these master’s theses and their respective research topics, and research instruments.
5.The quantity of references has been increasing. The languages of the references were mainly Chinese and English. Most of the references were published between the year of 1991 and 2003. The main types of the references were books and journals. The most cited English author was Chelladurai, P., and the Chinese counterpart was Ministry of Education（Taiwan）.
This study provides the research information and analysis of Master’s Theses in Sport Management in Taiwan during recent 10 years, and expects the increasing application of qualitative research method in sport management. It would be combined together between Sport Marketing Management and Sport Leisure Management to create benefit for organization, and it would be a future trend.
Key words：Content Analysis, sport management.
A Study on Luo Zhi Cheng\ue2s Historical narrative poems
No full textLuo Zhi Cheng is an important poet in the field of Taiwanese modern poetry, who is known for distinctive linguistic style and intense creative consciousness that are respected. Based on his powerful imagination and flourishing creativity as two primary advantages, through the mediation of poetry, prose, remarks, and commentaries, he maximally amplifies the implication of literature, and thereby composes himself and enriches the character. Distinguished from the majority of researchers focusing on Luo\ue2s lyric works, this study particularly found a writing context of \ue2avoidance of lyric sensibility\ue2 in Luo\ue2s poems, that is, his series of works historical themes in the form of long poems utilizing narrative skills to exhibit the remarkable consistency between the internality and the externality of the author.
\ue3\ue3This study conducted a comparative investigation of Luo\ue2s poetry work (The Book of Zhuzi) and prose works (Austral Court\ue2s Notandum and The Initiation of Civilization) to build a relatively more multi-faceted \ue2author\ue2s image of Luo Zhi Cheng\ue2 according to the writing of works of historical themes. Using the methodology of narratology, I departed from the internality of the text (the collection of poems) to identify how Luo forms the ideal spectrum of character by shaping historical persons; and meanwhile, I equally departed from the collections of prose to grasp the external information of the texts, and thereby clarified that Luo may treat \ue2writing, individual, and society\ue2 as a process of self-fulfillment. It is the two corresponding identities \ue2poet\ue2 and \ue2the intellectual\ue2 that are the mechanism of his constructing self-justification. Such investigation of the internality and the externality of text confirmed the complex relationships of the sustained \ue2opposition,\ue2 \ue2coexistence,\ue2 and \ue2conflict\ue2 between Luo and his works of historical themes
Bidirectional Phase Transformation of Supramolecular Networks Using Two Molecular Signals
No full textReversible control of molecular self-assembly is omnipresent in adaptive biological systems, yet its realization in artificial systems remains a major challenge. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, we show that a 2D supramolecular network formed by terthienobenzenetricarboxylic acid (TTBTA) can undergo a reversible structural transition between a porous and dense phase in response to different molecular signals (trimethyltripyrazolotriazine (TMTPT) and C60). TMTPT molecules can induce a phase transition from the TTBTA honeycomb to the dense phase, whereas a reverse transition can be triggered by introducing C60 molecules. This response stems from the selective association between signal molecules and TTBTA polymorphs. The successful realization of reversible molecular transformation represents important progress in controlling supramolecular surface nanostructures and could be potentially applicable in various areas of nanotechnology, including phase control, molecular sensing, and “smart” switchable surfaces
Influence of Al contents on the long-term corrosion behaviors of cold-sprayed Zn-xAl coatings
No full textZnsingle bondAl coating is considered one of the most economic candidates for marine static immersive corrosion protecting technology, in which the Al/Zn ratio is quite crucial to achieve a certain aggressive ions concentration corrosion. In this study, different Al contents Zn-xAl composite coatings were prepared using low-pressure dynamic cold spraying, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques were implied to reveal the long-term corrosion behaviors in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution and experimentally optimize the Al and Zn composition of the composite coating for marine static immersion corrosive resistance. The results showed that the weight loss kinetics curve of Zn-xAl composite coatings conforms well to a linear equation over time after logarithms, an increase in Al content leads to enhanced corrosion resistance of Zn-xAl composite coatings. After 1440 h immersion, the optimum Znsingle bond95Al composite coating, with high ECorr (−1.522 V) and low ICorr ((4.881 ± 0.98) × 10−5 A/cm2), presented the best corrosion resistance, due to the compact network passive film composing of Al(OH)3 and Al2(OH)5Cl2H2O, which slowed down mass-transfer step of Zn/Al elements
