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

Comparison of the magnetic properties between Y-3(Fe, Cr)(29) and Y2Fe15Cr2 single crystals
No full textA Y-3(Fe, Cr)(29) single crystal which has a Nd-3(Fe, Ti)(29)-type monoclinic structure has been prepared using the Czochralski method followed by heat treatment of an initial Y-2(Fe, Cr)(17) crystal. The magnetization curves were measured along the easy and hard magnetization directions in the range from 1.5 to 293 K for crystals of Y-3(Fe, Cr)(29) and Y-2(Fe, Cr)(17). The saturation magnetization of Y-3(Fe, Cr)(29) decreases with increasing temperature and is in good agreement with a T-3/2 spin-wave relation law. The magnetic properties of the two crystals are compared. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

No full textObservation of ηc (2S) →k+K-η
No full textBy analyzing (27.12±0.14)×108 ψ(3686) events accumulated with the BESIII detector, the decay ηc(2S)→K+K-η is observed for the first time with a significance of 6.2σ after considering systematic uncertainties. The product of the branching fractions of ψ(3686)→γηc(2S) and ηc(2S)→K+K-η is measured to be B(ψ(3686)→γηc(2S))×B(ηc(2S)→K+K-η)=(2.39±0.32±0.34)×10-6, where the first uncertainty is statistical, and the second one is systematic. The branching fraction of ηc(2S)→K+K-η is determined to be B(ηc(2S)→K+K-η)=(3.42±0.46±0.48±2.44)×10-3, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of ψ(3686)→γηc(2S). Using a recent BESIII measurement of B(ηc(2S)→K+K-π0), we also determine the ratio between the branching fractions of ηc(2S)→K+K-η and ηc(2S)→K+K-π0 to be 1.49±0.22±0.25, which is consistent with the previous result of BABAR at a comparable precision level
Cross sections for the reactions e+e- →k+K-π+π- (π0), K+K-K+K- (π0), π+π-π+π- (π0), p p ̄ π+π- (π0) in the energy region between 3.773 and 4.600 GeV
No full textUsing the data samples collected in the energy range from 3.773 to 4.600 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we measure the dressed cross sections as a function of center-of-mass energy for e+e-→K+K-π+π-(π0), K+K-K+K-(π0), π+π-π+π-(π0), and pp ̄π+π-(π0). The cross sections for e+e-→K+K-K+K-π0, pp ̄π+π-(π0) are the first measurements. Cross sections for the other five channels are much more precise than previous results in this energy region. We also search for charmonium and charmonium-like resonances, such as the Y(4230), decaying into the same final states. We find evidence of the ψ(4040) decaying to π+π-π+π-π0 with a statistical significance of 3.6σ. Upper limits are provided for other decays since no clear signals are observed
