Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
No full textThis thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title

The genus is a valid name in Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae, subfamily Aspidiotinae, tribe Aspidiotini (Normark <i>et al.</i> 2019). The genus includes only the type species, recorded from Mexico.</p> <p> Unfortunately, the name <i>Helaspis</i> McKenzie 1963 is preoccupied by <i>Helaspis</i> Imbrie 1959, a fossil marine brachiopod genus (Brachiopoda: Strophomenata: Productida: family Productellidae) based on the type species <i>Helaspis luma</i> Imbrie 1959. Thus, <i>Helaspis</i> McKenzie 1963 is a junior homonym of <i>Helaspis</i> Imbrie 1959. According to Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a new replacement name is proposed for <i>Helaspis</i> McKenzie 1963: <i>Mckenzieana</i> <b>nom. n.</b></p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The replacement name for the genus is derived from the name H.L.

Design and testing of a thick-film dual-modality sensor for composition measurements in heterogeneous mixtures
No full textThe current paper focuses on design and laboratory evaluation of a dual-modality sensor, developed for the needs of oil and gas extraction industry to measure the composition of heterogeneous mixtures in harsh conditions. The sensor combines ultrasonic and electrical measurement techniques, which are non-destructive, rapid and can potentially provide an on-line industrial measurement. Such a ‘dual-modality’ measurement could potentially be reliable in a wider range of process conditions. A distinct feature of the sensors presented here is their construction, which makes use of the thick-film technology, enabling the construction of multi-layered structures of both conductive and non-conductive layers, some of which may exhibit piezoelectric properties for ultrasonic measurement purposes. These are later fired on a ceramic substrate to provide rugged sensors, capable of working in aggressive industrial environments. Laboratory experiments to investigate the feasibility of the dual-modality sensors were conducted and some comparisons with the theoretical predictions are presented
