Glaciological results of the 2005 expedition to Inylchek Glacier, Central Tian Shan
Full text linkLike many other glaciers in Central Asia, Southern Inylchek glacier in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan is covered by supraglacial moraine, which drastically influences melt rates and complicates the estimation of ablation. The quantification of sub-debris melt from simple parameters is still an unsolved problem, but also essential to predict future yield from high mountains. Snow cover and glacier ice are the main water storages for the surrounding arid lowlands and a better understanding of ablation processes is the prerequisite for a sustainable water resources management. Another interesting feature of Southern Inylchek glacier is the existence of an ice dammed lake in a tributary valley, which is drained regularly by outburst floods. Improvements in predicting these floods would lower the risk potential for the downstream population. The main objectives of a group of glaciologists which participated in an expedition to the glacier in 2005 were to investigate melt rates on debris covered glacier parts and to quantify the ice flux into the glacier lake. The results of their field experiments are reported in this paper

A Study on Zhu He-Ling's "Explanatory Notes of the Poetry Collection of Li Yi-Shan"
No full textAmong those who interpreted the poetry of Li Shang-Yin in the early Qing Dynasty, Zhu He-Ling was the one that took the lead. He interpreted the poetry of Li Shang-Yin on Qian Qian-Yi\ue2s instructions. It was a time of dynasty changes and literary inquisition, similar to the late Tang Dynasty. The poetry of Li Shang-Yin, poet of the late Tang, was ambiguous and obscure, which provided an opportunity for Zhu who was in the same situation as Li-Shang-Yin to display his commentary ability. Zhu adopted the method of \ue2zhi ren lun shi\ue2 to interpret Li\ue2s poems, which is a method of understanding a person by researching the historical background. After \ue2Explanatory Notes of the Poetry Collection of Li Yi-Shan\ue2 was published, it evoked resonance among readers. Therefore, it is now an important book for studying Li\ue2s poems. If the process of how Zhu finished the book could be understood and the essence and features of the book could be outlined and summarized, it would be beneficial for researching the poet Li Shang-Yin and his poems.
This dissertation is composed of five chapters. The first chapter- introduction- contains the purpose and method of the study. The life and characteristics of Zhu and the gist of \ue2Explanatory Notes of the Poetry Collection of Li Yi-Shan\ue2 were also introduced. The second chapter-the historical background of Zhu He-ling\ue2s interpretation of Li Yi-Shan\ue2s poems-indicates that the author wrote and developed the concept of shishi (\ue8\ua9\ua9\ue5\ub2) and bixin (\ue6\uaf\ue8) under the influence of the political and social environment and the academic atmosphere at that time. This chapter also discusses the process of how Zhu finished the book and compares the differences in different versions in order to highlight the outcomes of Zhu\ue2s studies. In chapter three-the style and structure of \ue2Explanatory notes of the poetry collection of Li-Yi-Shan\ue2- the style and structure of the explanation, interpretation and quotation in the book were analyzed. By doing this, Zhu\ue2s devotion to interpreting Li\ue2s poems and to preserving predecessors\ue2 works could be easily seen. Chapter four-the contribution and defect of \ue2Explanatory notes of the poetry collection of Li-Yi-Shan\ue2-depicts the contribution and defect of the book for those who study Li Shang-Yin\ue2s poems. Chapter five-conclusion- summarizes the main ideas from chapter two to four in the hope that the whole picture of \ue2Explanatory notes of the poetry collection of Li-Yi-Shan\ue2 could be understood

Lithospheric controls on the formation of the Qilian Shan plateau: Evidence from apatite (U Th)/He and cosmogenic 21Ne results in the Central Qilian Shan
No full textThe Qilian Shan, located on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, shares similar topographic features with Tibet marked by a flat upland plateau flanked by highly-dissected steep margins. Therefore, the research on the topographic evolution of the Qilian Shan will not only facilitate the understanding of its uplift history but also shed light on the uplift process and formation mechanism of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we carried out (U-Th)/He and cosmogenic Ne-21 analyses on the granitoid peneplain of the Central Qilian Shan, and our results indicate that the Qilian Shan has inherited a Cretaceous low-relief landscape that formed at low elevation. Apatite (U-Th)/He cooling ages and Ne-21-inferrred erosion rates record a slow exhumation process with a rate of similar to 15 +/- 5 m/Myr of the peneplain from the middle Cretaceous to present. Combined with previous studies on the Cenozoic tectonics of the Qilian Shan, we infer that the prolonged stable landscape of the Central Qilian Shan has been elevated to high elevation along the boundary thrusting by coeval crustal thickening of the Qilian Shan, to form a flat upland plateau. Whereas, compared to the Central Qilian block, the southern and northern Qilian Shan have relatively weak lithosphere, which consist of accretionary systems. The strong thrusting of the boundary faults enabled the southern and northern Qilian Shan uplifted to form highly-dissected margins flanking the flat interior plateau. In this context, our study may provide an analog for understanding the uplift mechanism of the Tibetan Plateau
Kam Sin Kiew and the revitalization of Cantonese Opera in Malaysia / He Shan
No full textKSK Art Crew is a Cantonese opera troupe led by Kam Sin Kiew based in Kuala Lumpur. This study examined into the changing context of KSK Art Crew as Kam revitalized the Cantonese opera in effort of sustainability. Literature reveals studies by scholars looking into Chinese opera based in China and Western countries, but there is a lack of research that examines into Cantonese opera in Malaysia, brought in by the Chinese diaspora in a country where majority of population is Malay. Methods include fieldwork, participant observation, recording, analysis and interview. Results show that the change of transmission method, change of context in music accompaniment, movement, programmes and setting were inevitable in Kam’s continuous effort to revive and revitalize Cantonese opera in Malaysia
Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy of Marine to Lacustrine Deltaic Deposits in a Craton Basin and Their Controlling Factors: Shan 2 Member–He 8 Member (Guadalupian–Lopingian, Permian), Southeast Ordos Basin, North China
No full text© 2018 Geological Society of China The Shan 2 Member, Shan 1 Member and He 8 Member of the Mid–Late Permian Shanxi and lower Xiashihezi formations, in the southeastern Ordos Basin, together comprise ∼150 m of deltaic deposits. This sequence records an overall evolution from deep marine environment to shallow lake associated with braided river, braided river delta and meandering river delta. Core description, well log interpretation, and stable isotope analysis, including carbon, oxygen and strontium, were conducted to understand the sedimentary evolution of Shan 2 to He 8 Member. The Shanxi Formation, which consists of the Shan 2 and Shan 1 members, is characterized by a tidal-influenced meandering river delta environment and a higher δ13C value and 87Sr/86Sr ratio and a lower δ18O value. The He 8 Member, the basal part of the Xiashihezi Formation, is featured by a braided river to braided river delta system and a lower δ13C value, 87Sr/86Sr ratio, and a higher δ18O value. Four third-order depositional sequences separated by five sequence boundaries are determined. Coarsening upward sequences of the Shan 2 Member–He 8 Member indicate a general regression trend, which can be correlated to global sea-level fall occurring during the Roadian–Wuchiapingian, as also evidenced by previous published zircon U–Pb results. The coal-bearing sequence (Shanxi Formation) to non-coal-bearing sequence (He 8 Member), as well as a decrease of 87Sr/86Sr, suggest a trend from humid to arid climates. A combined effect of sea-level drop and a small uplift at the end of Shanxi Formation are proposed
Tien-Shan effect and charmed particles
