An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Lowest electronic states of neutral and ionic LiN
No full textWe have investigated the potential energy curves (PECs) of the LiN heteronuclear diatomic molecule, including its ionic species LiN+ and LiN−, using explicitly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI-F12) calculations in conjunction with the correlation consistent quintuple- basis set. The effect of core–valence correlation, scalar relativistic effects, and the size of the basis sets has been investigated. A comprehensive set of spectroscopic constants determined based on the above-mentioned calculations are also reported for the lowest electronic states and all systems, including dissociation energies, harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies, and rotational constants. Additional parameters, such as the dipole moments, equilibrium spin-orbit constants, excitation energies, and rovibrational energy levels, are also documented. We found that the three triplet states of LiN, namely, X 3∑−, A 3Π, and 2 3∑−, exhibit substantial potential wells in the PEC diagrams, while the quintet states are repulsive in nature. The ground state of the anion also shows a deep potential well in the vicinity of its equilibrium geometry. In contrast, the ground and excited states of the cation are very loosely bound. Charge transfer properties of each of these states are also analyzed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the interatomic interactions. We found that the core–valence correlation has a substantial effect on the calculated spectroscopic constants.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Atmospheric Remote Sensin

Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.

Abstract
By：Chou chen- tsung Advisor：Lin en-chung
The purpose of this research is to understand the current situation of the citizen’s subjective impressions on the spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam in Shu Lin City. The survey is carried out by self-designed questionnaires. The parents of the students in 10 ele mentary schools of Shu Lin City were taken as samples, 1000 que stionnaires were released, in which 825 effective copies were responded and returned (reaching a 93.0% share of all return questionnaires). The methods for analyzing the data are adopted from SPSS Statistic Software, which includes avera
ges, standard deviation,t-test,ANOVA…etc to analyze.The main findings are as below:
1. The subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the
Mainland spouses tends to be “ordinary” to “slightly
good.”
2. Regarding the subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens
on the Mainland spouses, there is a significant
difference on the four out of six different variants,
which are gender, occupations, marital status, and their
experience of contacting Mainland China spouses.
3. The subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the
Vietnamese spouses tends to be “ordinary”to “slightly
good.”
4. Regarding the subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens
on the Vietnamese spouses, there is a significant
difference on the three out of six different variants,
which are occupations, marital status, and educational
background.
5. There is a significant difference on the citizens’
subjective impres sion between the spouses from Mainland
China and those from Vietnam.
“Focus Group Interview” was also practiced to enrich the study. Based on the research result, some suggestions regarding the effective community educational policies are proposed.
1.Publicize the positive impressions of Shu Lin citizens
toward the spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam.
2.More researches and studies should be done by th
government and the academic institutes in order to
facilitate the positive understanding.
3.Encourage the positive reports from the media which
should be carefully regulated by the government and the
non-gover nmental organizations.
4.For schools, enhance multicultural teaching
environment;for the government, host more multicultural
exhibitions about the spouses from Mainland and Vietnam.
5.Make good use of the resources from schools and
communities to popularize the idea of “multicultural
community educati on” as well as to facilitate the
integration of different races.
6.The spouses from Mainland and Vietnam should learn
actively and positively to adapt themselves to the
lifestyles of the ir family and the community; therefore,
they are able to gain more positive interaction and
feedback from the peoplein the community.
Key words: Mainland China spouses, Vietnamese spouses,
Transnational marriage, Subjective impression
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
Tsounkranaglenea Lin & Ge 2021, gen. nov.
No full textTsounkranaglenea gen. nov. Type species: Tsounkranaglenea hefferni sp. nov. Diagnosis. It is mostly similar to Glenea by the lateral elytral carinae and truncate elytral apex, but can be distinguished by the elongated, bended and rake-shaped sternite VII. In fact, it differs from all other saperdine genera by the peculiar sternite VII in males. It also differs from Paraglenea Bates, 1866, Heteroglenea Gahan, 1897 (as defined in Lin, Montreuil et al, 2009) and Pareutetrapha Breuning, 1952 by the male claws of fore and hind legs simple instead of appendiculate or bifid and elytral apex truncated with sharp teeth instead of rounded or slightly truncated without sharp teeth. It also differs from Eumecocera Solsky, 1871 and Stenostola Dejean, 1835 by the elytra with lateral carinae and male claws of fore and hind legs simple instead of appendiculate or bifid. The combination of the following characters makes the new genus easily separable from other saperdine genera: prothorax without lateral tubercles, elytra with distinct lateral carinae, elytral apex truncated with long spines at outer angle, male claws with appendiculated tooth only in mesotarsi and female claws all simple, male sternite VII elongated and bended into a rake-shape. Description. Small-sized (under 15 mm). Head not broader than prothorax. Eyes deeply emarginate, not divided, lower eye lobe much vertically longer than (male) to subequal to (female) gena. Antennae longer than body, in male slightly longer than female, basal segments fringed with sparse setae, scape slightly expanded, second antennomere short, third antennomere always the longest, 4 th antennomere subequal to (female) to slightly longer than (male) scape, 4 th to 10 th slightly and gradually decreasing in length except 11 th being slightly longer than 10 th. Prothorax cylindrical, without lateral tubercles, slightly narrowed around basal fifth. Elytra subparallel, truncated apically, with sharp teeth at both inner and outer angles, each with two distinct lateral carinae starting from the base and combined into apical outer tooth (Figs 1b, 11b). Procoxal cavity closed posteriorly (Fig. 11c), mesocoxal cavity open to mesepimeron, metanepisternum more than twice as wide anteriorly as posteriorly. Protarsi with first segment expanded in male (Fig. 1a), mesotibiae with an oblique groove with setae (Fig. 1b), hind femur reaching fifth abdominal segment, hind tarsi with first segment longer than the following two combined. Male claws: only anterior claws of mesotarsi appendiculate with small teeth (Figs. 4–5), posterior claws of mesotarsi without teeth, and claws of pro- and metatarsi simple. Females claws simple (Figs. 11 a-11b). Male sternite VII elongated and bent into a rake-shape (Figs. 1–3), female sternite VII with a median groove (Fig. 11c). Male terminalia. Apex of male tergite VIII emarginated (Figs. 6a–6c). Lateral lobes slender, with a strong tooth at ventral base (Fig. 8b); ringed part elbowed in the widest portion, converging; basal piece well-developed and bifurcated (Fig. 8c). Median lobe strongly curved, shorter than tegmen, dorsal plate shorter than ventral plate, apex of ventral plate emarginated (Fig. 9a). Median foramen not elongated. Endophallus with one band of supporting armature, 4 basal plate-like sclerites, and 3 rod-like sclerites. Ejaculatory duct single. Female terminalia: Setae of sternite VIII dense and long. Spermathecal capsule and gland positioned on apex of spermathecal duct. Spermathecal capsule strongly sclerotized, composed of an apical orb and a long stalk, spiculum ventrale longer than abdomen. Etymology. The generic name is a combination of a Greek word tsounkrána (τσουγκράνα) and the genus name Glenea. The Greek word “tsounkrána” refers to the shape of sternite VII in male, which looks like a rake. Gender feminine. Distribution. Malaysia. Remarks. It is very similar to Glenea (Breuning, 1956; Breuning, 1958) by the elytral lateral carinae and truncated elytral apex, and the following characters are quite common in Glenea members: endophallus with 4 basal plate-like sclerites (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009a,b; Lin & Lin, 2011; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin et al., 2018), and 3 rod-like sclerites (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009a,b; Lin & Lin, 2011; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin & Dai, 2012; Lin, 2013); spermathecal capsule strongly sclerotized, composed of an apical orb and a long stalk (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009b; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin & Dai, 2012). We separate it from Glenea based on the following reasons.: 1) Glenea is heterogeneous (Lin, Montreuil et al., 2009;), even though outer characters are very similar (Lin & Tavakilian, 2012), this peculiar species does not match with any type species of the subgenera; 2) Though most of characters can be found in the previous Glenea members, and the peculiar male sternite might not be suitable for generic level, but with only one band of supporting armature and the emarginated apex of the ventral plate of the median lobe, this convinced the authors to make a new genus. Most members of Saperdini have zero or two bands of supporting armature, rounded to the pointed apex of the ventral plate of the median lobe (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009a, b; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin & Dai, 2012; Lin, 2013; Lin et al., 2018). 3) Although the sexual dimorphism (on pubescence markings) referred to the subgenus Glenea (Acutoglenea) Breuning, 1958, and the dark integument referred especially to G. (A.) versuta basaloides Breuning 1958, G. (A.) versuta maura Pascoe, 1867, it can not be included in the subgenus Acutoglenea because of the non-simple male claws and very different male terminalia (based on the first author’s unpublished data). Besides, the type species Glenea (Acutoglenea) acuta (Fabricius, 1801) has a stouter female, with elytral length less than twice basal width, fourth antennomere much shorter than scape, which are very different from the new taxon herein described. 4) We have checked the subgenus Glenea (Lineatoglenea) Breuning, 1950, which is represented by a unique type species Glenea (Lineatoglenea) lineatopunctata Breuning, 1950 from Malaysian Borneo. There are no images available, and we did not have an opportunity to examine the type specimen which should be deposited in University of Malaysia, Sarawak (Breuning, 1950a). Based on the original description, it shares with the new taxon by antennae longer than body, similar antennomere ratio, pronotum and elytra, however it differs from the new taxon by the fifth male abdominal segment provided at the end with a short median longitudinal ridge. 5) We have checked the subgenus Glenea (Spiniglenea) Breuning, 1958, which is represented by a unique type species Glenea (Spiniglenea) spinosipennis Breuning, 1958 from Malaysian Borneo. It also has no images available, and we did not have an opportunity to examine the type specimen which should be deposited in University of Malaysia, Sarawak (Breuning, 1958b). Based on the original description, it is difficult to separated it from the new taxon on genus level, since it was based only on a female. However, it is surely not the same species. 6) We compared the new taxon with Glenea (Metaglenea) Breuning, 1956, which is represented by a species from Sumatra, and Glenea (Porphyrioglenea) Breuning, 1956, which is represented by a species from West Malaysia and Sabah, East Malaysia. They can be easily distinguished from the new taxon by the very close antennal tubercles, shorter and stouter antennae. Glenea (Pseudotanylecta) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Subgrossoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Tanylecta) Pascoe, 1866 also from Malaysia and Indonesia, can be separated by the close and protruding antennal tubercles. 7) Glenea (Poeciloglenea) Aurivillius, 1920, Glenea (Punctoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Reginoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Rubroglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Rufoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Stiroglenea) Aurivillius, 1920, Glenea (Vanikoroglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Vittiglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Volumnia) Thomson, 1860 and all other subgenera have been studied by the first author, and none of them are suitable for the new taxon. 8) The new taxon differs from Glenea (Lobunguiglenea) Lin & Tavakilian, 2014 by the male claws with only anterior claw of mesotarsus appendiculate with small lobe in inner side, instead of all claws appenciculated in outer sides, and genitalia with median lobe strongly curved, apex of ventral plate emarginated, instead of genitalia with median lobe slightly curved, apex of ventral plate pointed.Published as part of Lin, Mei-Ying & Ge, Si-Qin, 2021, Tsounkranaglenea hefferni gen. et sp. nov. from Sabah, Malaysia (Coleoptera Cerambycidae, Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 289-297 in Zootaxa 5048 (2) on page 290, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5048.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/555211
