A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe 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

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 .

From fibers to sugars: Harnessing gaseous hydrogen chloride for cellulose conversion
No full textAccording to the so-called fringed-fibrillar model, the short, disordered regions in cellulose microfibrils are more susceptible to acid hydrolysis, which gives rise to the leveling-off degree of polymerization (LODP). In addition, one severe drawback of acid hydrolysis is the production of humins as an unwanted side reaction to glucose conversion. This dissertation utilizes a new pathway for cellulose degradation, namely using hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas, where the fiber morphology is minimally affected in the entire process. Purification of the products is relatively unproblematic from a gas-solid mixture, and a gaseous catalyst is more straightforward to recycle than the aqueous counterpart. The aim of this thesis was to explore the use of anhydrous HCl gas for producing sugars and nanocellulose from biomass by suppressing humin formation and analyzing the LODP behavior.
Here, we investigate how various cellulose polymorphs/materials were hydrolyzed by HCI gas with a water content of 30–50 wt.%. The 50–70% glucose yields were obtained from cellulose I and II polymorphs, while a >90% monosaccharide conversion was acquired from cellulose IIIII after a mild post-hydrolysis. In addition, alcoholysis has raised attention because it can significantly increase biopolymers' solubility and depolymerization rate, inhibit harmful humin formation, and produce valuable platform chemicals. The cotton-based cellulose fibers were firstly soaked in various alcohols (ethanol, 2-propanol, t-butanol, and ethylene glycol) and exposed to anhydrous HCl gas as an acid catalyst, and the impact of these different systems on the leveling-off degree of polymerization (LODP) was explored. Ethylene glycol and t-butanol reached the LODP under the default conditions, i.e., 50 wt.% alcohol and without moisture.
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have attracted significant attention due to their extraordinary mechanical and optical properties. In a foundational effort, we investigated the formation of CNF production from agricultural waste, namely from potato fibers, which are side streams with a global production of millions of tons annually. Remarkably, we obtained short CNFs (~500 nm) simultaneously in a one-step HCl(g) hydrolysis process involving alkali treatment, NaClO2 addition, and gaseous HCl hydrolysis. Subsequent film preparation demonstrated that even short CNFs could form strong transparent films.
Overall, these findings provide a foundational understanding of the practical implementation of HCl gas hydrolysis with various cellulose polymorphs/materials. The study presents potential pathways for the HCl (g) hydrolysis of biomass and its use in the generation of nanocellulose and platform chemicals from various sources

How to classify microclimates more validly and finely? A novel method for mapping local climate zone (LCZ) on micro-scales
No full textGlobal climate change and rapid urbanization are driving microclimate variations in urban areas, intensifying the formation of urban heat islands (UHIs) vulnerable to extreme weather. The local climate zone (LCZ) framework, using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS), has advanced with the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tool (WUDAPT), enabling microclimate understanding for improved urban planning and climate adaptation. However, mapping LCZs at the micro-scale relies on locally available GIS data or RS imagery, data gaps, authenticity issues, and low-resolution imagery often lead to inaccurate microclimate classifications. To enhance the validity and sophistication of microclimate classification, this study introduces a novel method for mapping LCZ using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry at the micro-scale (LCZ-UAV-MS), which constructs detailed land use and land cover (LULC) and 3D real scene (3DRS) models, calculates urban surface parameters (USPs) for each basic spatial unit (BSU) through spatial statistical analysis, and employs a decision-making classifier to categorize each BSU. This study validates the proposed method using Gulangyu as the study area, employing image overlay, temperature observation, and expert knowledge, with the following results: 1) Spatial percentage showing 51 % natural environments (LCZ A, B, C, and D), 27 % neutral environments (LCZ 7, 8, 9, 10, and Y), and 22 % built environments (LCZ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) in Gulangyu. 2) The variance in mean LST across different LCZs was 1.02 in January and 5.18 in August 2024, with temperature differences more pronounced in summer, where the built environment had a higher mean LST of 41.3 °C compared to 35.2 °C in the natural environment and 38.3 °C in the neutral environment. 3) Field research at 22 random sample sites showed that 95 % of LCZ-UAV-MS classifications matched the field, outperforming WUDAPT LCZ, which matched only 10 %. These demonstrate that the LCZ-UAV-MS accurately captures microclimate temperature variations and provides a more precise micro-scale description than the WUDAPT LCZ. This study bridges the gap of LCZ studies in specific regions and scales, enhances the applicability of the LCZ framework at the micro-scale, and provides technical support for urban blue-green infrastructure management and resilient climate design strategies
