A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
Get PDFThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape

Optimal multicarrier faster-than-Nyquist signaling under symbol-by-symbol detection
No full textWe consider the multicarrier faster-than-Nyquist (MFTN) signaling under low complexity symbol-by-symbol detection, where the lattice structure and time-frequency spacing play key roles in determining the system performance. Specifically, the energy of intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI) introduced by time-frequency packing is taken as a figure of merit. In this regard, we firstly prove the asymptotical equivalence of the hexagonal MFTN and conventional rectangular MFTN signaling systems when the time packing factor is small enough, and we also reveal the potential benefit of hexagonal MFTN with respect to conventional rectangular MFTN for moderate time-frequency spacing. Then, an optimal MFTN signaling scheme under the given signaling efficiency is proposed. By jointly optimizing the lattice structure and time-frequency spacing to minimize the interference energy, we show that the optimal time-frequency spacing can be accurately obtained with substantially reduced complexity than conventional exhaustive search scheme. Finally, we demonstrate that there is a good match between minimizing the interference energy and maximizing the achievable spectral efficiency, which is also considered to be an important figure for MFTN signaling system. Our theoretical analysis and numerical results validate that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional MFTN signaling system

The new species is very similar to the congeners, but can be distinguished from other species of the genus Microleon by the following combination of characters: wider saccular processes, juxta without a pair of spines dorsally, aedeagus simple, without a sclerotized band apically. Description. Adult (Figs 4, 13). Male and female. Forewing length 5–7 mm. Antennae filiform, with brownbeige scales. Vertex covered densely with cream-brown hairs. Labial palpus pale yellow, about 2–3 times as long as diameter of eyes, upward curved. Thorax with an intermixture of orange-brown scales. Ground colour of thorax orange brown. Forewing pattern not distinct, the species can be recognized by the presence of pale, orange fields near apex, tornus and base. Wing venation: forewing with R 2, R 3 and R 4 stalked, R 3 +R 4 branching from near the base of R 2, R 5 arising from apical angle of discal cell, M 1 originate from middle of outer margin of discal cell. Hindwing grayish brown, Rs and M 1 stalked basally branching from Sc+R 1, veins M 3 and CuA 1 rising from lower angle of the cell. Male genitalia (Figs 9, 10). Uncus long tongue-shaped, with long hairs. Gnathos well-developed, T-shaped apically. Valvae elongated, costal margin strongly sclerotized, outer margin oblique. Saccular processes long and wide, each with two apically acute arms, the right dorsal arm distinctly longer than the left one. Juxta sclerotized. Aedeagus simple, slightly curved at base. Female genitalia (Fig. 11). Ovipositor lobes flattened, nearly oval. Apophysis anterioris approximately three times longer than apophysis posterioris. Ductus bursae extremely long, slender, somewhat coiled, sclerotized basally. Corpus bursae with a gourd-shaped signum. Type materials.

Extended Sleeve Lobectomy is an Alternative For Centrally Located Lung Cancer With Superior Short- and Long- Term Outcomes
No full textObjectives
Extended sleeve lobectomy (ESL) is a feasible alternative to pneumonectomy; however, the survival benefit is unclear and preoperative selection of potential candidates for ESL remains a problem.
Methods
ESL was performed on selected candidates with double sleeve lobectomy for more than one lobe (e.g. Left upper lobe and S6 segment resection). Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction was routinely validated. Patients were candidates for ESL if the predicted distal stump length was >6 mm and the pulmonary vein of the remaining segments was not invaded.
Results
Of the 1809 patients with centrally located lung cancer for surgical resection, 86 patients with tumors invading more than one lobe were enrolled in the study. After evaluation by 3-D reconstruction, 22 of 23 (95.7%) selected candidates underwent ESL, and 63 patients were deemed unsuitable for ESL and underwent pneumonectomy (43 cases) or thoracic exploration (20 cases). Surgical outcomes between the ESL and pneumonectomy groups were similar in terms of complications, blood loss and surgical duration, but the 6-minute walking distance was significantly improved in the ESL group (371±111m, 191±55 m, p<0.001). The mean FEV1 was 1.6±0.3L at the 1-year follow up examination in the ESL group. In the survival analysis, no difference was observed between the ESL and pneumonectomy groups in terms of 3-year overall survival (85% vs. 89%, respectively; p= 0.626) and 3-year disease-free survival (75% vs. 76%, respectively; p=0.625).
Conclusions
ESL is a feasible and superior surgical procedure in terms of its short-term and long-term outcomes, and we suggest 3-D reconstruction to identify candidates for ESL
Supporting the research process through expanded library data services
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how the authors gained a better understanding of the variety of library users' data needs, and how gradually some new data services were established based on current capabilities.Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a case study of the new data services at the John Cotton Dana Library, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark campus, to demonstrate the possible ways to extend data reference services and provide data computing services. A content analysis of services records shows how each user group falls into the multiple data services levels and subcategories.Findings – Library users can be classified into many different categories, and each of these may have different needs. Research centers might have big projects involving data gathering and applications where a librarian can mainly provide consultation; while an individual faculty member or student might need the librarians as research partners, with help for their specific problems. Computing data services can involve group training and statistical analysis assistance, where researchers need emergent help. Data librarians can take various opportunities for data management education, thereby gradually raising awareness and cultivating better research habits among researchers.Originality/value – Library data computing services can make unique contributions to faculty and students' research and study. Institution, library and users' interaction determines the levels and extent of data services and is generalized from the description and analysis of typical data service examples. Classic concept of data services levels is applied to a concrete case of data services program, and sub-categories of each data services level and user types are developed based on the authors' services record.This article is (c) Emerald Group Publishing and permission has been granted for this version to appear here at the RUcore: Rutgers University Community Repository .
