    A Grammar of Mian

    No full text
    Mian is a non-Austronesian ('Papuan') language of the Ok family spoken in the Highlands fringe in western Papua New Guinea. Mian has approximately 1,400 speakers and is highly endangered. This grammar is the first comprehensive description of the language. It is based on primary field data consisting of a text corpus that covers different genres of the oral tradition, namely myths and ancestor stories, historical accounts, accounts of the initiation ritual, conversations, and procedural texts. The corpus was recorded by the author during a total of eleven months of field work from 2004 to 2008. The book provides a thorough description of all areas of Mian grammar and gives an in-depth analysis of many points of typological interest, such as the complex system of lexical tone, the interaction between a gender system and a system of classificatory prefixes on verbs of object movement, manipulation or handling, which allows the highlighting of certain characteristics of a referent in a given situation, the complex verbal morphology which allows fine-grained tense-aspect-mood distinctions, and a switch-reference system in which switch-reference suffixes on medial verbs are homophonous with and derived from suffixes functioning as tense and aspect markers in final verbs. The book is rounded off by a collection of traditional and contemporary texts (fully glossed and translated) and a word list comprising some 1,600 items, giving lexical tone, word class and meaning

    FROM DECADENCE TO DISILLUSION: URBAN IDENTITY IN MIAN MIAN’S CANDY

    No full text
    This paper analyses urban identity in Candy (2000) by Chinese author Mian Mian, a prominent figure among the so-called “post-70s” generation. The novel, banned in China shortly after publication, portrays a fragile love story set against the backdrop of two cities. Shenzhen, a fast-growing city emblematic of China’s post-Cultural Revolution economic boom, is depicted as anonymous, nameless, and lacking identity despite its wealth. In contrast, Shanghai—Mian Mian’s hometown—is portrayed as a city with a rich literary legacy, symbolizing modernity and the sexual freedom of urban Chinese women. After a brief overview of urban identity in Chinese literature, particularly in Shanghai, and situating Mian Mian within her literary generation, the study focuses on the representation of cities and how urban identity in the novel shapes characters and narrative. It also examines the novel’s experimental style, which combines simple, colloquial language with occasional shifts in narrator, mirroring the instability and fragmentation of identity in the urban landscapes it depicts. Shenzhen and Shanghai are compared: Shanghai, with its historical and cultural depth, and Shenzhen, a symbol of rapid economic development, depicted as a chaotic space of drug dealers, addicts, pimps, and prostitutes. Both urban settings reflect the vulnerability of the protagonists as they navigate trauma, drug addiction, sexuality, and the search for belonging in post-1989 China

    Data for: A multiscale reconstructing method for shale based on SEM image and experiment data

    No full text
    The multiscale reconstructing method for shale can be used to generate 3D layer representative elementary volume (lREV)-scale digital-experimental models to characterize the multiscale pore structure of the shale by means of the combination of a large area SEM image, nitrogen adsorption and pressure pulse decay experiment result

    City Marketing Strategy- take Taipei International new row mian Festival for example

    No full text
    For Taiwanese new row mian is small food and is also one part of life and history. By promotion of Taipei International New row, Taiwanese can know and place importance on this traditional small food. In addition, Taipei International New row can improve the business of new row mian industry and city awareness of Taipei in the whole world. City Marketing become a top priority of each government. Therefore,in this thesis take Taipei International new row mian Festival for example and take advantage of research method, like observation, doing the literature review, case studies and interviews. I hope that this thesis can conduct the Key factor of City Marketing strategy, give some recommendations and references for research institution\ue3non-governmental groups and government. I propose some recommendations as follows: 1\ue3 Organization of plan group must be integrity and resources must be integrated 2\ue3Give target market strong attraction and strengthen city position 3. Strengthen the connections with the product and target marke

    An efficient offline method for determining the thermally sensitive points of a machine tool structure

    Whether from internal sources or arising from environmental sources, thermal error in most machine tools is inexorable. Out of several thermal error control methods, electronic compensation can be an easy-to-implement and cost effective solution. However, analytically locating the optimal thermally sensitive points within the machine structure for compensation has been a challenging task. This is especially true when complex structural deformations arising from the heat generated internally as well as long term environmental temperature fluctuations can only be controlled with a limited number of temperature inputs. This paper presents some case study results confirming the sensitivity to sensor location and a new efficient offline method for determining localized thermally sensitive points within the machine structure using finite element method (FEA) and Matlab software. Compared to the empirical and complex analytical methods, this software based method allows efficient and rapid optimization for detecting the most effective location(s) including practicality of installation. These sensitive points will contribute to the development and enhancement of new and existing thermal error compensation models respectively by updating them with the location information. The method is shown to provide significant benefits in the correlation of a simple thermal control model and comments are made on the efficiency with which this method could be practically applied

    A multiscale reconstructing method for shale based on SEM image and experiment data

    No full text
    Owing to the presence of multiscale pore structures, characterization of laminated shales is both extremely difficult and substantially different from that of conventional reservoirs, and defies conventional methodologies. In this paper, a multiscale reconstructing method for shale is proposed to generate 3D layer representative elementary volume (lREV)-scale digital-experimental models to characterize the multiscale pore structure of the shale by means of the combination of a large area SEM image, nitrogen adsorption and pressure pulse decay experiment result. In this method an improved multiscale superposition algorithm is introduced to integrate the reconstructed complex models from nanoscale to mesoscale together, and it can preserve the details and main features enormously of each typical component (nanoscale organic pores in organic matter and pyrites, micro-nano inorganic pores and micro slits) in the shale. Especially, to accurately reproduce the realistic morphology for shale, the proposed method uses the experimental pore size distribution and permeability as constrain conditions to adjust and optimize the lREV-scale digital-experimental model. Our proposed method was tested on Longmaxi and Wufeng shale samples, and the reconstructed lREV-scale digital-experimental model are proved to accurately describe the representative structure of the complex multiscale pore space of the typical layer of the shale. The success of this method provides a promising way for reconstructing more realistic model to continuously and systematically characterize the pore (slits) structure from the nanopore-scale to the lREV-scale. It can advance the understanding of the various gas transport mechanisms at different scales and will be helpful for understanding the quality of the shale reservoir.</p
