This species is different from Chrysolina mikhailovi Ge & Daccordi, 2011 in the following characters: body shape wide-oval rather than elongate-ovoid in latter; punctures of head larger than latter; depression of pronotum deeper; elytra weakly and almost rectilinearly widened from humeral angles to beginning of apical declivity, then roundly narrowed toward apical angles of elytra, while sides of elytra almost paralleled in latter; aedeagus enlarged apically and flagellum slender, while latter species with basal part as wide as apex, and flagellum bifid, very wide. Additionally, both the species and Ch. mikhailovi Ge & Daccordi, 2011 were cited by Yang et al. (2015, in the same page), however, they did not provide an appropriate treatment.

Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
No full textThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry

A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape
Fabrication and characterisation of novel Ge MOSFETs
No full textAs high-k dielectrics are introduced into commercial Si CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) microelectronics, the 40 year channel/dielectric partnership of Si/SiO2 is ended and the door opened for silicon to be replaced as the active channel material in MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor). Germanium is a good candidate as it has higher bulk carrier mobilities than silicon. In addition, Si and Ge form a thermodynamically stable SiGe alloy of any composition, allowing Ge to be implemented as a thin layer on the surface of a standard Si substrate. This thesis is a practical investigation on several aspects of Ge CMOS technology.
High-k dielectric Ge p-MOSFETs are electrically characterised. A large variation in interface state densities is demonstrated to be responsible for a threshold voltage shift and this is proportional to reciprocal peak mobility due to the Coulomb scattering of carriers by charged states. A theoretical mobility is fitted to that measured at 4.2 K and confirms that interface states are the main source of interface charged impurities.
The model demonstrates a reduction in the interface charged impurity density in p-MOSFETs that underwent a PMA (Post Metallisation Anneal) in hydrogen atmosphere and that the anneal also reduces the RMS (Root Mean Square) dielectric/semiconductor interface roughness, from an average of 0.60 nm to 0.48 nm.
High-k strained Ge p-MOSFETs are electrically characterised and have peak mobilities at 300 K (470 cm2 V-1 s-1) and 4.2 K (1780 cm2 V-1 s-1) far in excess of those measured for the unstrained Ge p-MOSFETs (285 cm2 V-1 s-1,785 cm2 V-1 s-1 respectively). Strained Ge n-MOSFETs perform significantly worse than standard Si P, - MOSFETs primarily due to a high source/drain resistance.
A 10 nm thick SiGe-01 (On Insulator) layer with a Ge composition of 58% is obtained from a 55 nm Si0_88Ge1o2. initial layer on 100 nm Si-Ol substrate via the germanium condensation technique. For the first time, germanium is demonstrated to diffuse through the BOX (Buried OXide) during Ge-condensation and into the underlying Si substrate. An order of magnitude increase in the calculated ITOX (Internal Thermal OXidation) rate of the BOX in the final stages of Ge-condensation is hypothesised to be responsible for stopping this diffusion

Photoluminescence from surface-oxidized Ge nanoclusters
No full textPhotoluminescence from gas-evaporated Ge nanoclusters consisting of a crystalline core encased in an oxide shell are presented. An as-grown sample shows room temperature luminescence with separate peaks around 357 and 580 nm. Prolonged air exposure of the clusters reduces the Ge core dimensions, and the emission initially at 580 nm shifts to 420 nm; however, the violet luminescence at 357 nm displays no difference. These results indicate that there are two mechanisms involved with light emission from Ge nanoclusters, visible light emission associated with the quantum confinement effect, and violet light emission correlated to luminescent centers.
