    Experientiality and Reversibility of the Aspectual Morpheme Guo in Mandarin Chinese: Temporal and Atemporal Perspectives

    No full text
    [[abstract]]  This paper argues for the property of reversibility toward the interpretation of the aspectual guo in Mandarin Chinese. After thorough examination of studies on its meaning in the literature, I point out that traditional analyses stress too heavily on the experientiality, while recent studies- such as Hsiao (2003), Pan and Lee (2004), Lin (2007), and Wu (2008)- focus too much on the resultant state entailed by guo to derive its meaning of discontinuity. I propose that experientiality or discontinuity still serves as the inherent meaning of guo, yet the resultant state in many events further encodes an extended meaning of reversibility which relates the temporal/physical properties of a discontinued event back to its pre-existing state.The semantics of guo based on this hypothesis is arguably a temporal as well as an atemporal notion. This account of guo is possible provided that the theory of time based on the cognitive grammar as proposed in Ahrens and Huang (2002) is adopted as the framework: in their theory the concept of time is conceived as a moving point over a landscape, and the ego facing the past is attached to this point in relation to the event. Under this assumption, the meaning of guo functions to discontinue the time and provides the ego a viewpoint to conceptualize the reversibility property

    Applicability of Phase-Function Normalization Techniques for Radiation Transfer Computation

    No full text
    The applicability of recently-developed four phase-function (PF) normalization techniques for modeling radiation transfer in strongly anisotropic scattering media is intensively examined using the discrete-ordinate method. The three simple techniques via normalization of only the forward- and/or backward-scattering directions were shown to reduce normalization complexity whilst retaining diffuse radiation computation accuracy for Henyey-Greenstein (HG) PFs. For Legendre PFs, however, such simple techniques are found to result in unphysical negative PF value at one or few correction direction in some cases. Additionally, negative PF values can occur for these simple techniques for ballistic radiation transfer for both HG and Legendre PF types. If negative-intensity correction is applied, however, radiative heat transfer calculation can still converge regardless of the appearance of negative PF values. The relatively complex Hunter and Guo 2012 technique, in which normalization is realized through a correction matrix covering all discrete directions, is shown to be applicable for diffuse and ballistic radiation for both PF types.Peer reviewed

    Flow and heat transfer inside a new diversion-type gas heating device

    No full text
    The present paper characterizes ethylene glycol flow and heat transfer inside a new diversion-type gas heating device. A 2-D natural convection heat transfer model was built and solved by the finite volume method with unstructured body-fitted grids. The numerical model was first validated through temperature comparison with experimental measurements in a conventional device structure. Then analyses and comparisons of the flow fields and temperature distributions with use of different guide plate structures were carried out. The numerical results show that using the guide plate structures can form better organized flow patterns that augment heat transfer. The heat required for heating up the gas passing through the heating device can be reduced by 3% via installing two guide plates.Peer reviewed

    Reborn Translated: Xiaolu Guo as a World Author

    No full text
    This paper introduces the concept of “world author,” taking as its exemplar the Chinese British writer and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo. It investigates how Guo utilizes her bilingualism to construct and negotiate her creative agency, especially when dealing with the political and commercial forces imposed on diasporic authors. Through engaging with Rebecca Walkowitz’s idea of world literature as being “born translated,” I point out that the translational should not be limited to the thematic and representational arrangements internal to a given text. Instead, translation as movements between linguistic systems and media forms can generate multipleversions of a text, to the point that such translational multiplicity fundamentally challenges its supposed singularity. This argument is demonstrated with Guo’s self-translation of the stories of Fenfang and her filmic adaptation of the novel UFO in Her Eyes. Through these examples of what I call “translational rebirths,” I demonstrate the importance of paratextual details and intertextual connections between clusters of an author’s creative output for the interpretation and appreciation of l’oeuvre d’un auteur instead of une oeuvre d’art. This case study also shows the need for the academic debates on world literature to go beyond the singularity of texts and evaluative criteria of worldliness based on this assumption, so that the discipline can realize its full potential in accommodating multilingual transnational authors like Guo
