Gu Xiong : The River
No full textGu Xiong’s installation “The River” is described by O’Brian as a meditation on migrancy and displacement. The author situates the work within the life of the artist, who left China because of political oppression, and the history of the Canadian West, which has marginalized its Chinese inhabitants. Short poetic texts by Gu Xiong in which he identifies with spawning salmon are included. Biographical notes. 19 bibl. ref
Gu Xiong : Drowning
No full textA booklet for Gu Xiong’s installation comprised of 36 framed photographs, two photo murals and three large-scale charcoal drawings. Hunter’s curatorial text outlines the central themes of the exhibition: the near drowning of the artist’s daughter due to a boating accident in China; and the artist’s desire for a critical hybrid culture informed by changes brought on by globalization and American cultural imperialism. Issues of multiculturalism, nationality, cultural migration and home are considered in relation to the confessional aspect of the artist’s work. Includes a poem by Gu Xiong and a statement by his daughter Gu Yu (both texts written in response to the boating accident). List of works

Study of in-flight and impact dynamics of non-spherical particles from HVOF guns
No full textHigh velocity oxygen fuel thermal spray has been widely used to deposit hard composite materials such as WC-Co powders for wear-resistant applications. Unlike gas atomized spherical powders, WC-CO powders form a more complex geometry. The knowledge gained from the existing spherical powders on process control and optimization may not be directly applicable to WC-Co coatings. This paper is the first to directly examine nonspherical particle in-flight dynamics and the impingement process on substrate using computational methods. Two sets of computational models are developed. First, the in-flight particles are simulated in the CFD-based combusting gas flow. The particle information prior to impact is extracted from the CFD results and implemented in a FEA model to dynamically track the impingement of particles on substrate. The morphology of particles is examined extensively including both spherical and nonspherical powders to establish the critical particle impact parameters needed for adequate bonding. <br/
National Bibliographies: the Chinese experience
No full textThe printed version of the China National Bibliography was first published in 1987 and ceased to be published in 1994. It is replaced by the online services provided by the National Library of China. Because of the present situation of legal deposit policies in China, the national bibliography has narrow coverage. There is another kind of “national bibliography” with wider coverage, but not done by librarians. In China, there are also problems of different forms of name authorities and different MARC records. The National Library of China is considering a National Union Catalog to improve the national bibliographical services
The Yellow Pear
No full textThis artist's book is a personal memoir based on Gu Xiong's process of cultural transition and search for identity after having moved from rural China to Vancouver. Contains autobiographical anecdotes written in response to twenty-nine charcoal drawings reproduced in the book. Statements by Ge Ni Xiong and Gu Yu Xiong. Texts in English and Mandarin. Brief biographical notes
Gu Cheng és Ady Endre szerelmi verseinek összehasonlítása
No full textE dolgozat témája a magyar Ady Endre és a kínai Gu Cheng szerelmi költészetének összehasonlítása. Megvizsgálom mindkét költő témáit és stílusát, valamint foglalkozom a két költői személyiséggel. Általánosságban elmondható, hogy Gu Cheng és Ady Endre szerelmi versei inkább tükrözik a szélesebb körű és univerzálisabb életet és emberi tapasztalatokat, mint a különböző kultúrák vagy korszakok közötti különbségeket. Mindkét költő lázadó szellemisége és a mélyebb életértelmezés iránti vágya összeköti őket, és értékes tanulságokat kínál a jelen és a jövő generációi számára.MSc/MAMagyar nyelv és irodalo
