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
Structural and Magnetic Properties of Sm Implanted GaN
No full textThe structural and magnetic properties of Sm ion-implanted GaN with different Sm concentrations are investigated. XRD results do not show any peaks associated with second phase formation. Magnetic investigations performed by superconducting quantum interference device reveal ferromagnetic behavior with an ordering temperature above room temperature in all the implanted samples, while the effective magnetic moment per Sm obtained from saturation magnetization gives a much higher value than the atomic moment of Sm. These results could be explained by the phenomenological model proposed by Dhar et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94(2005) 037205, Phys. Rev. B 72(2005) 245203] in terms of a long-range spin polarization of the GaN matrix by the Sm atoms
Sm-Nd Isotope Data Compilation from Geoscientific Literature
No full textDerived from tables within geoscientific literature, we utilized our advanced automated tabular data collection tool to extract data from 3,959 geoscientific articles specifically focusing on Sm-Nd isotopes, out of an extensive repository of over 20,000 geoscientific publications. All the samples referenced are igneous rocks, and the data originates from peer-reviewed sources. To streamline the data extraction process, a team of experts curated a list of 25 pertinent keywords, encompassing terms such as Sm, 143 Nd/144 Nd, and Pluton/Formation. The file titled "Sm-Nd data collection (automated).xls" encapsulates the outcomes of the automated extraction, while "Sm-Nd data collection (annotation).xls" documents human annotations for 2,118 selected entries from the automated dataset, subjected to meticulous human evaluation. Other files are our previously construed Sm-Nd isotope dataset under repository of https://doi.org/10. 6084/m9.figshare.22345072.v1.</p

Properties investigation of GaN films implanted by Sm ions under different implantation and annealing conditions
No full textGaN films grown by MOCVD were implanted by Sm ions under different implantation and annealing conditions, in order to optimize the implantation parameters. The structural and magnetic measurements indicated a reduction of defect concentration and an increase of saturation magnetization when samples were implanted at 400A degrees C, most probably due to the increased substitutional fraction of Sm ions. While the subsequent annealing process further decreased the damage in GaN lattice, but reduced the saturation magnetization on the contrary, caused by the decomposition of the surface layer and the formation of Sm-defect complexes during high-temperature annealing.</span
NOMA-SM for cooperatively enhancing vehicle-to-vehicle transmissions
No full textInspired by the robustness of spatial modulation (SM) against channel correlation and the benefits of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), in this paper, we intrinsically amalgamate them into NOMA-SM in order to deal with the deleterious effects of wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) environments as well as to support improved bandwidth efficiency. Specifically, a spatio-temporally correlated Rician channel is considered for a V2V scenario. We derive the capacity of NOMA-SM and a pair of analytical capacity upper bounds in closed form. A power allocation optimization scheme is formulated accordingly and the optimal solution is demonstrated to be achievable with the aid of our proposed algorithm. By investigating the bit error ratio (BER) performance of NOMA with different multiple-antenna techniques and the bandwidth efficiency of SM combined with distinct multiple access methods, NOMA and SM are shown to cooperatively improve V2V transmissions.</p
