The Textual Condition of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility

Literature has increasingly been seen as a text in a context. And text is a particular embodiment of the abstract idea that a work tries to exhibit. The textual condition of a publication involves not only the author but also the editor, publisher and readers. Text varies because of its ever-changing textual condition. Since its first publication in 1813, Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility had been reproduced several times in the 19th century. The analysis of the novel's text and textuality in a way ...

英国《每日电讯报》：中国A股为何疯狂

过去,国际投资者不大喜欢中国股票,因为企业资产负债表往往不够透明。这使上海证券交易所和深圳证券交易所看起来与其说像是有信誉的交易中心,不如说更像是赌场。上证综合指数从2008年的5500点暴跌至1820点后,在几年时间里一直没有起色。然而,据《香港经济日报》报道称,上证综合指数于12月8日大涨2．8％,突破3000点,创至44个月以来的新高。而奥地利《新闻报》也称,自今年年中以来。上证综合指数涨幅已经超过40％。中国A股这轮暴涨的背景是：在房价连续下跌5个月后。为了防止住房市场崩盘,中国当局10月份进行“定向宽松”,11月又意外降息。     

Study on molecular interaction between NifA and NifL of Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 by using the yeast two-hybrid system

Pseudomonas stutzeri AI501 (formerly Alcaligenes faecalis A1501), which was isolated from rice paddies in South China in 1980, can colonize tightly on rhizoplane of the host plants or invade the roots of plants for growth and nitrogen fixation. But A1501 can fix nitrogen only under the micro-aerobic and nitrogen-free conditions. The oxygen concentration and the availability of fixed nitrogen are therefore important factors in the regulation of nitrogenase biosynthesis of associative nitrogen-fixing bacteria.     

Urban Transport and Sustainable Transport Strategies： A Case Study of Karachi, Pakistan

The uncontrolled growth in urbanization and motorization generally contributes to an urban land use and transportation system that is socially, economically, and environmentally unsustainable. This paper uses Karachi as a case study, which is the largest urban and economic centre of Pakistan, passing through an uncontrolled phase of rapid urbanization and motorization. The paper first reviews research related to sustainable transportation systems to comprehend the concept of sustainable development and transporta-tion. The paper then evaluates the existing transportation and infrastructure system, national transportation policies, and urban transportation projects to determine if the current paradigm is moving toward or away from sustainable transportation. Furthermore, the principles for sustainable urban transportation are devel-oped to see what significance national transportation policies have given to urban transportation from a sus-tainable transportation point of view. Finally some strategies are suggested, adoption of which may lead to a sustainable urban development and transportation system in Karachi.     

The Descriptive Study of “Sun Zi：The Art of War- Making Assessments”——Domestication and Foreignization in the English translation of the Article

The ideas of “Domestication” and “Foreignization” in Translation was put forward by the American scholar L. Venuti in 1995, indicating that there are two aspects involved in the process of translation. Of one is that a translation should get the readers closer to the author, while the other one is to get the author closer to the readers. The English translation of “Sun Zi： The Art of War” done by Lin Maosun is an outstanding example representing these two basic concepts in translation principles. It abounds with plenty of excellent examples demonstrating how domestication and foreignization can be achieved in the translation of Chinese classics.     

R2Mn2Se2O （R = LaO and BaF）： A new layered manganese oxyselenide with an antiferromagnetic checkerboard spin lattice

Transition metal oxides have a long and distinguished history. They exhibit many interesting and intriguing properties due to the correlated-electron effect. Recently, Professor Chen Xianhui and his group from Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Science at Microscale and Department of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China synthesized two new manganese oxychalcogenides, R2Mn2Se2O [R = (LaO) and (BaF)],     

Dust storm in Asia continent and its bio-environmental effects in the North Pacific： A case study of the strongest dust event in April, 2001 in central Asia

The iron hypothesis, first proposed by John Martin in 1990[1], suggests that some surface oceans such as North and Equatorial Pacific Oceans have high nutrient but low chlorophyll (HNLC). Thus iron coming from terrestrial dusts is the primary factor limit…
