    Between environmental literature and ocean literature, Syaman Rapongan and Liao Hongji

    No full text
    The subject of the bachelor thesis is a literary analysis of selected works with oceanic subject matter by contemporary Taiwanese authors Syaman Rapongan (*1957) and Liao Hongji (*1957). Rapongan's novel The Eyes of the Sky (2012) and Liao Hongji's short story cycle Fishermen (1996) will be presented in the broader context of "bentu literature" (bentu wenxue; i.e., local Taiwanese literature) and closely related environmental and ocean literature. In the analytical part, the author will focus on the motivic construction in the work of Rapongan and Liao in relation to ocean and environmental themes. The main focus will be on the differences in the conception of the ocean and marine culture in Rapongan's work as a member of the indigenous tribe Tao, and Liao Hongji, whose origin is Han. The thesis further examines whether and how environmental and oceanic literature overlap, using Wu Mingyi's definition of environmental literature. Keywords Syaman Rapongan, Liao Hongji, ocean literature, environmental literature, bentu wenxu

Keywords Syaman Rapongan, Liao Hongji, ocean literature, environmental literature, bentu wenxuePředmětem bakalářské práce je literárně-vědná analýza vybraných děl s oceánskou tematikou současných tchajwanských autorů Syamana Rapongana (*1957) a Liao Hongjiho (*1957). Raponganův román Oči Nebes (2012, přel. Šimonová, 2017) a Liao Hongjiho povídkový cyklus Rybáři (1996, přel. Krámská, 2017) budou představeny v širším kontextu "literatury bentu" (bentu wenxue; tj. místní taiwanské literatury) a s ní úzce související environmentální a oceánské literatury. V analytické části se autorka zaměří na motivickou výstavbu v tvorbě Rapongana a Liaoa ve vztahu s oceánskou a environmentální tematikou. Hlavní důraz bude kladen na rozdíly v pojetí oceánu a mořské kultury v tvorbě Rapongana jako příslušníka kmene původních obyvatel Tao, a Liao Hongjiho, jehož původ je hanský. Práce dále zkoumá, zda a jak se proudy environmentální a oceánské literatury překrývají, při čemž pracuje s definicí environmentální literatury podle Wu Mingyiho.

    Taking With Hui'an Women living in the south China's Fujian Province as an example, the thesis analysis the constitution of Hui'an woman's finery. Through the deeply scratch of color theory, we analysis the physiological reason which cause color in eyes. Study the mental acts created by physiological reason and color's collocation and symbolic meaning, the thesis brings up a viewpoint that use the native color element to enhance the art infectivity when we are creating animation. By strengthen the local color's colored activity, making the animation have a special effect visual reception, I make an animation named < seek > which tells a story about diligent and sapiential Hui'an woman. The article illustrate how I use local color to build up the characters; control the tempo of animation; sublime the theme of story, make a better effect of local color to manifest Hui'an women's spirit of laborious, brave and septennial. The innovative research of this thesis might be helpful to the animator when they are plant to create a cartoon with local characteristic and color style.Computer Science, Artificial IntelligenceComputer Science, CyberneticsEngineering, Electrical & ElectronicImaging Science & Photographic TechnologyEICPCI-S(ISTP)

    Stress reduction effects of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete overlaid steel bridge deck developed with a new interfacial bond method

    The effects of a 25 mm of UHPFRC overlay on reducing the stress of the open ribs-stiffened orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) are assessed experimentally and analytically. To integrate the UHPFRC overlay and the OSDs, an adhesive-based bonding technique is developed and evaluated beforehand using a pull-off test and a three-point bending test, where a 3 MPa of excellent bond strength and an invisible slip demonstrate the reliability of the technique. With the developed bonding technique, an up to 80% of strain reduction and a peak clipping phenomenon are observed in the strain of the critical locations of the steel deck and structural members in the hotspot areas due to the UHPFRC. In addition, it is found that the superior high strengths and the strain hardening of UHPFRC can postpone the initiation and propagation of cracks. As a result, an effective enhancement of stiffness of OSDs and an apparent fatigue life extension can be achieved even with a thin layer

    Unlocking Novel Ultralow-Frequency Band Gap: Assembled Cellular Metabarrier for Broadband Wave Isolation

    No full text
    Admittedly, the design requirements of compactness, low frequency, and broadband seem to constitute an impossible trinity, hindering the further development of elastic metamaterials (EMMs) in wave shielding engineering. To break through these constraints, we propose theoretical combinations of effective parameters for wave isolation based on the propagation properties of Lamb waves in the EMM layer. Accordingly, we design compact EMMs with a novel ultralow-frequency bandgap, and the role of auxeticity in the dissociation between the dipole mode and the toroidal dipole mode is clearly revealed. Finally, under the guidance of the improved gradient design, we integrate multiple bandgaps to assemble metamaterial barriers (MMBs) for broadband wave isolation. In particular, the original configuration is further optimized and its ultralow-frequency and broadband performance are proven by transmission tests. It is foreseeable that our work will provide a meaningful reference for the application of the new EMMs in disaster prevention and protection engineering
