Review of Mayer, R.; Knothe, F.; Shuo, H. (2022) Reflected beauty: Chinese reverse glass paintings from the Mei Lin Collection
No full textIn this well-documented, bilingual, and richly illustrated catalogue, published for the long-anticipated exhibition Reflected Beauty: Chinese Reverse Glass Paintings from the Mei Lin Collection at the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong (September 2021-January 2022), the authors give us a profound insight into the phenomenon of reverse painting on glass and mirror paintings, with a particular focus on those from the Mei Lin Collection assembled by the Sinologist, author, and translator Rupprecht Mayer and his wife Haitang Mayer-Liem. Composed of over one hundred works acquired in East Asia between 1968 and 2012, this is one of the world's most important collections of Chinese reverse glass paintings from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Modern and Contemporary Studie
New Roads for Patron-Driven E-books:Collection Development and Technical Services Implications of a Patron-Driven Acquisitions Pilot at Rutgers
No full textCollection development librarians have long struggled to meet user demands for new titles. Too often, required resources are not purchased, while some purchased resources do not circulate. E-books selected through patron-driven plans are a solution but present new challenges for both selectors and catalogers. Radical changes to traditional technical services workflows are required, and selectors must modify the selection process to give more choice to the user. Rutgers University librarians have adopted an innovative new technical services workflow and collection-development model to manage a successful, patron-driven acquisitions project for e-books in the fields of math and computer science.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship on 13/12/2011, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1941126X.2011.627043
First person – Mei-Fang Lin
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Mei-Fang Lin is first author on ‘Transcriptomic analyses highlight the likely metabolic consequences of colonization of a cnidarian host by native or non-native Symbiodinium species’, published in BiO. Mei-Fang conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in David John Miller's lab at James Cook University, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Hiroshi Watanabe at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, investigating cnidarian genomics and evolution
Negation in Chinese : a corpus-based study.
Full text linkThis article explores negation in Chinese on the basis of written and spoken corpora of Mandarin Chinese. The use of corpus data not only reveals central tendencies in language based on quantitative data, it also provides typical examples attested in authentic contexts. In this study we will first discuss negation variants in general terms, on the basis of which the focus will be shifted to the semantic and genre distinctions between two major negators, bu and mei (including meiyou). Following this is an exploration of the interaction between negation and aspect marking. We will then move on to discuss scope and focus of negation, transferred negation, and finally double negation and redundant negation

Formosatettix nyalamensis Deng & Luo & Huang & Lin 2023, comb. nov.
No full text10. Formosatettix nyalamensis (Zheng & Lin, 2015), comb. nov. (Figs. 12, 24M) Aalatettix nyalamensis Zheng & Lin, 2015: 490 [description] (holotype — ♀, China: Xizang autonomous region, Nyalam County, Quxiang, in IZSNU, examined); Deng, 2016: 266. Type material examined. Holotype, ♀, China, Xizang autonomous region, Nyalam (Quxiang), 19 August 2014, IZSNU; paratype, 1♀, the same data as holotype, IZSNU. Notes. This species is not a representative of the genus Aalatettix because the posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum only with ventral sinus and tegminal (upper) sinus absent; tegmina and hind wings are invisible (“vestigial” type). It belongs to the genus Formosatettix. Formosatettix nyalamensis is easy to identify: the width of the vertex between the eyes 1.6 times the width of a compound eye; pronotum compressed and distinctly tectiform, its surface with sporadic small tubercles; anterior margin of pronotum obtuse protruding; lower margin of hind process straight. Distribution. China (Xizang).Published as part of Deng, Wei-An, Luo, Jie-Ling, Huang, Chao-Mei & Lin, Li-Liang, 2023, Review of the genus Formosatettix Tinkham (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) with description of new taxa, new synonymy and an updated key to species, pp. 201-243 in Zootaxa 5228 (3) on pages 221-222, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5228.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/753234
Chi-mei Lin oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Chi-mei Lin was born in Xindian, Taiwan and grew up in a military family with her three brothers. She attended First Taipei Girls High School and then studied English and education at National Taiwan University. To broaden her perspective of education to western approaches to education, she came to the United States to study administration at the University of Michigan. She worked various jobs as a YMCA after-school teacher, and an employee at Disaster Relief Coalition of America WorkWell doing vocational rehab, before being recruited to Chinese Community Center (CCC) as a school principal because of her background in human services and education. Today, as CEO of CCC, she has grown the center from its original origins as a language school to an agency that provides job training services and a senior center to all ethnicities. She has two sons and enjoys watching black-and-white movies
