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
Healdianella subdistincta Wang 1983
No full textHealdianella cf. subdistincta Wang, 1983 Fig. 8Q–R Material examined CHINA • 1 complete carapace (Fig. 8Q); Blue Snake section, Tangbagou Formation, sample 19BAI 02; P6M 3912 • 1 complete carapace (Fig. 8R); Blue Snake section, Tangbagou Formation, sample 19BAI 02; P6M 3913 • 8 complete carapaces; Blue Snake section, Tangbagou Formation, samples 19BAI 03, 19BAI 08, 19BAI 23. All from the Tournaisian, early Carboniferous. Dimensions RV: L = 359–697µm, H = 189–300µm, H/L = 0.42–0.52. LV: L = 359–688µm, H = 200–291 µm, H/L = 0.42–0.56. Remarks This species is rare in the studied material. The specimens are morphologically close to Healdianella subdistincta Wang, 1983 from the Emsian, early Devonian of Guangxi, South China (Wang 1983a) but they have a more elongated morphology, a straight DB with Hmax developed all along DB and a straight PDB with distinct AD angulation. Healdianella subdistincta is larger, with L ranging from 1440 to 1760 µm, H from 880 to 1000µm and H/L between 0.57 and 0.61, while it is between 0.47 and 0.56 here. Our material has a small size and may correspond to juveniles so that we only compare them to Healdianella subdistincta until more material is found to clarify this issue.

Outlier Detection and Comparison of Origin-Destination Flows Using Data Depth
No full textAdvances in location-aware technology have resulted in massive trajectory data. Origin-destination (OD) trajectories provide rich information on urban flow and transport demand. This study describes a new method for detecting OD flows outliers and conducting hypothesis testing between two OD flow datasets in terms of the variations of spatial extent, that is, spread. The proposed method is based on data depth, which measures the centrality and outlyingness of a point with respect to a given dataset in R^d. Based on the center-outward ordering property, the proposed method analyzes the underlying characteristics of OD flows, such as location, outlyingness, and spread. The ability of the method to detect OD anomalies is compared with that of the Mahalanobis distance approach, and an F-test is used to verify the difference in scale. Empirical evaluation has demonstrated that our method effectively identifies OD flows outliers in an interactive way. Furthermore, the method can provide new perspectives such as spatial extent by considering the overall structure of data when comparing two different OD flows in terms of scale

Material examined CHINA • 1 complete carapace (Fig. 10D); Blue Snake section, Gelaohe Formation, sample 19BAI 69; P6M 3940 • 1 complete carapace (Fig. 10E); Blue Snake section, Gelaohe Formation, sample 19BAI 68; P6M 3941 • 4 complete carapaces; Blue Snake section, Gelaohe Formation, samples 19BAI 67, 19BAI 69, 19BAI 80. All from the Famennian, late Devonian. Dimensions RV: L = 941–2112 µm, H = 516–1050µm, H/L = 0.48–0.56. LV: L = 941–2136 µm, H = 536–1332 µm, H/L = 0.57–0.65. Remarks This species is rare in the studied material. Bairdia beichuanensis Wei, 1983 in Song & Gong (2019) from the Famennian and the Tournaisian of the Baihupo section, Guizhou, South China (Song & Gong 2019) does not belong to Bairdia beichuanensis as shown by the strong ventral and dorsal overlap and stocky morphology. Based on these characters, it is here reattributed to Bairdia nanbiancunensis Wang, 1988. Coen (1989) reported Bairdia sp. from the Gelaohe Formation, Baihupo section, Guizhou, South China, Famennian. Following Olempska (1999), we consider that it belongs to Bairdia nanbiancunensis. The specimens shown in Coen (1989: pl. 2 gigs 2b, 3b) and in Song & Gong (2019: fig. 5a) have a size similar to our material with respectively L = 1000–1100 µm, H = 650–675 µm, H/L = 0.59–0.67 and L = 1120µm, H = 706µm, H/L = 0.63. The specimen shown in Olempska (1999: fig. 29h) is as long as our biggest specimen and higher (L = 2310µm, H = 1540 µm, H/L = 0.67) but we consider that these differences are intraspecific variability. Three ontogenetic stages (A-2 to Ad) are present in our material; they only differ by the size without major changes throught ontogeny.

Supporting the research process through expanded library data services
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how the authors gained a better understanding of the variety of library users' data needs, and how gradually some new data services were established based on current capabilities.Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a case study of the new data services at the John Cotton Dana Library, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark campus, to demonstrate the possible ways to extend data reference services and provide data computing services. A content analysis of services records shows how each user group falls into the multiple data services levels and subcategories.Findings – Library users can be classified into many different categories, and each of these may have different needs. Research centers might have big projects involving data gathering and applications where a librarian can mainly provide consultation; while an individual faculty member or student might need the librarians as research partners, with help for their specific problems. Computing data services can involve group training and statistical analysis assistance, where researchers need emergent help. Data librarians can take various opportunities for data management education, thereby gradually raising awareness and cultivating better research habits among researchers.Originality/value – Library data computing services can make unique contributions to faculty and students' research and study. Institution, library and users' interaction determines the levels and extent of data services and is generalized from the description and analysis of typical data service examples. Classic concept of data services levels is applied to a concrete case of data services program, and sub-categories of each data services level and user types are developed based on the authors' services record.This article is (c) Emerald Group Publishing and permission has been granted for this version to appear here at the RUcore: Rutgers University Community Repository .

High-Performance Nanofiltration Membrane with Dual Resistance to Gypsum Scaling and Biofouling for Enhanced Water Purification
No full textNanofiltration (NF) technology is pivotal for ensuring a sustainable and reliable supply of clean water. To address the critical need for advanced thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide (PA) membranes with exceptional permselectivity and fouling resistance for emerging contaminant purification, we introduce a novel high-performance NF membrane. This membrane features a selective polypiperazine (PIP) layer functionalized with amino-containing quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) through an in situ interfacial polycondensation reaction. Our investigation demonstrated that precise QAC functionalization enabled the construction of the selective PA layer with increased surface area, enhanced microporosity, stronger electronegativity, and reduced thickness compared to the control PIP membrane. As a result, the QAC NF membrane exhibited an approximately 51% increase in water permeance compared to the control PIP membrane, while achieving superior retention capabilities for divalent salts (>99%) and emerging organic contaminants (>90%). Furthermore, the incorporation of QACs into the PIP selective layer was proved to be effective in mitigating mineral scaling by allowing selective passage of scale-forming cations, while simultaneously exhibiting strong antimicrobial properties to combat biofouling. The in situ QAC incorporation strategy presented in this study provides valuable guidelines for the fit-for-purpose design of the selective PA layer, which is crucial for the development of high-performance NF membranes for efficient water purification.
