Migrant workers, collaborative research and spatial pressures : an interview with Meng Yue
No full textIn July last year I had the opportunity to interview Meng Yue, literary scholar and author of Shanghai and the Edges of Empire (2006). Meng Yue has been collaborating with Toronto-based architect and artist Adrian Blackwell for a number of years, with their students from literature and architecture undertaking highly interesting research on the peripheral zones of Beijing. Questions of peri-urban food production, land use, resource distribution and the multiplication of labour skills have framed these investigations. The interview below is extracted from a considerably longer discussion we had in Beijing during the late summer of 2007, half of which was lost to the faulty battery of an ipod (the rest remains to be transcribed from video…)
Carbon sequestration through straw amendment: multi-pool dynamics within soil organic carbon
No full textStraw amendment is widely practiced to stabilize soil structure and increase soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Given SOC’s complex composition, the multi-pool responses to straw amendment and their interrelationships remain unclear. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of 3206 paired measurements to assess the effects of straw on functional (particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon, POC, and MAOC), aggregate-associated (macro- and micro-aggregates, and silt–clay-associated C), and microbial pools (microbial biomass, MBC; necromass C). We found that the straw amendment increased SOC by 16 ± 0.9 % compared to control, with POC and MAOC pools rising by 33 ± 3.2 % and 9.6 ± 2.6 %, respectively. The POC accumulation was linked to greater straw C input and hydrolytic enzyme activity, and showed a stronger association with macroaggregate-C, highlighting that improved aggregation plays a key role in SOC gains under straw amendment. Initially, the POC, macroaggregate-C, and their ratio to SOC increased within 5 years, but later declined in the more-than-10-year duration period, suggesting that C entered pools with rapid turnover rates and likely underwent multiple cycles of microbial decomposition over time. The increase in microbial necromass C after five years of straw amendment confirmed increased microbial C modification and stabilization, thereby increasing the residence time of C in the soil. The study provided mechanistic insights into the effects of straw amendment on the SOC pools and their stability at the global scale, which underscores the importance of adopting multi-pool strategies in croplands

Sequels to honglou meng : how gu taiqing continues the story in honglou meng ying
No full textAfter Honglou meng (1791) was published, a number of sequels appeared that redefined its major characters, rewrote its ending, and continued the story of life within the two Jia households. One of these was Honglou meng ying (1877), by female poet, Gu Taiqing. Despite its status as the earliest extant novel written by a woman, few studies have been devoted to examining it. Building on research that Ellen Widmer has provided on Gu Taiqing and her work, including Honglou meng ying, I will explore the novel further in terms of its relationship to the parent work and to other sequels written by men, and also examine it on its own terms as a literary work. Some of the main questions that I will address include: how does it compare to other sequels to Honglou meng? How does Gu Taiqing’s continuation of Honglou meng depart from the parent novel? I have organized my discussion by providing an introduction to Gu Taiqing, whilst providing contextual information about women’s education, their relationship to fiction, and the impact of Honglou meng. Chapter One will deal with the broad issue of sequels in the Chinese context, the popularity of writing sequels during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and conclude with some observations about Honglou meng sequels in particular. The second chapter will deal exclusively with Gu Taiqing’s Honglou meng ying, evaluating it in terms of how the author continues the parent work, how she refashions its characters and themes, and how her sequel reflects her own unique concerns (which may not have been part of the original parent work). Finally, I will conclude with some remarks about Honglou meng ying in terms of its relation to sequel writing in late imperial China and its contribution to our understanding of women’s reading and writing in the final years of the Qing dynasty.Arts, Faculty ofAsian Studies, Department ofGraduat
BN nanospheres as CpG ODN carriers for activation of toll-like receptor 9
No full textFor the first time, we demonstrated BN nanospheres (BNNSs) can interact with biomolecules and deliver unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) into cells to activate toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which is a very important process for therapy of cancers and allergy diseases
On Meng Sen's teaching and lecture notes of Ming and Qing history at Peking University during the 1930s
No full textWhile teaching the histories of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Meng Sen (1869-1937), developed three textbooks in the 1930s: Lecture Notes on the Ming History (.... Mingshi jiangyi), Lecture Notes on the Qing History (.... Qingshi jiangyi), and Lecture Notes on the History of the Founding of the Manchu State (....... Manzhou kaiguo shi jiangyi). In these book titles, the term " history" refers specifically to "standard history."In tracing Meng Sen's original intention in producing these textbooks, all three works suggest the author's desire to write history. He wrote Lecture Notes on the Ming History to prepare a future revision of the History of the Ming (.. Mingshi); similarly he wrote Lecture Notes on the Qing History and Lecture Notes on the History of the Founding of the Manchu State with the intention to revise the Draft History of the Qing (... Qingshi gao). Meng Sen summarized Sima Guang's (..., 1019-86) view of history as " imitating the good and avoiding the bad," which he believed represented the "essential meaning of history." Meng followed Sima Guang's model in compiling the Lecture Notes on the Ming History and Lecture Notes on the Qing History, as shown in their style and format. By comparison, his writing of the Lecture Notes on the History of the Founding of the Manchu State attempted to merge the traditional annals-biographic style with narrative history from the West, or to pour old wine into a new bottle. Meng Sen presented his innovative efforts at Peking University, introducing young scholars to standards for history writing, and doing his utmost to guide and encourage his students; some of whom became noted scholars in the study of Ming and Qing histories.A&HCIARTICLE2119-1545
