Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry

Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
Full text linkThis 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

Effect of postgrowth hydrogen treatment on defects in GaNP
Full text linkEffect of postgrowth hydrogen treatment on defects and their role in carrier recombination in GaNP alloys is examined by photoluminescence (PL) and optically detected magnetic resonance. We present direct experimental evidence for effective activation of several defects by low-energy subthreshold hydrogen treatment (andlt;= 100 eV H ions). Among them, two defect complexes are identified to contain a Ga interstitial. Possible mechanisms for the H-induced defect activation and creation are discussed. Carrier recombination via these defects is shown to efficiently compete with the near band-edge PL, explaining the observed degraded optical quality of the alloys after the H treatment.Original Publication:Daniel Dagnelund, Xingjun Wang, C W Tu, A Polimeni, M Capizzi, Weimin Chen and Irina Buyanova, Effect of postgrowth hydrogen treatment on defects in GaNP, 2011, APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, (98), 14, 141920.http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3576920Copyright: American Institute of Physicshttp://www.aip.org
Measurement of associated W+ charm production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
Full text linkOpen Access, Copyright CERN, for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.Measurements are presented of the associated production of a W boson and a charm-quark jet (W + c) in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis is conducted with a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. W boson candidates are identified by their decay into a charged lepton (muon or electron) and a neutrino. The W + c measurements are performed for charm-quark jets in the kinematic region p jet T > 25 GeV, |ηjet| 25 GeV) and σ(pp → W + c + X)× B (W → ℓν) = 84.1 ± 2.0 (stat.) ± 4.9 (syst.) pb ( p ℓ T > 35 GeV), and the cross section ratios σ(pp → W+ + c ¯ + X)/σ(pp → W− + c + X) = 0.954 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.004 (syst.) ( p ℓ T > 25 GeV) and σ(pp → W+ + c ¯ + X)/σ(pp → W− + c + X) = 0.938 ± 0.019 (stat.) ± 0.006 (syst.) ( p ℓ T > 35 GeV). Cross sections and cross section ratios are also measured differentially with respect to the absolute value of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay. These are the first measurements from the LHC directly sensitive to the strange quark and antiquark content of the proton. Results are compared with theoretical predictions and are consistent with the predictions based on global fits of parton distribution functions
