Thus, objective and consistent mapping of planation surfaces from remotely sensed data （e.g., satellite imagery, digital elevation models （DEMs）） is paramount for interpreting the geomorphological evolution. Due to the lack of dated sedimentary covers and the difficulties of com-prehensive field work, the number and age of planation surfaces in the Southwest Hubei （湖北） Prov-ince of China are still controversial. In order to map the PS in the study area, four data visualization techniques including ETM＋ false color composite, grey-scale DEM, shaded relief model （SRM） and painted relief model （P M） were examined. It is found that the PRM is the most optimal technique for planation surface mapping. The study area was successfully mapped by visual interpretation of a PRM derived from ASTER GDEM. The mapped PS was divided into five classes in terms of elevation ac-cording to previous studies, varying from 1 700-2 000 （PS1）, 1 300-1 500 （PS2）, 1 000-1 200 （PS3）, 800-900 （PS4） to 500-600 （PS5） m. The results were partially compared with the published works. It is revealed that this method of mapping enjoys a higher accuracy and can reduce the time and ef- fort required in the traditional mapping to a large extent. The results also demonstrated that the PRM is an effective tool for geomorphological fea-ture mapping with considerable accuracy. The pre- liminary results can serve to facilitate locating rep-resentative samples for the planation surfaces dating, thus to determine the ages of PS in the study areas.展开更多

The process of the fallen heroin Kitty's awakening and maturity was profound in the theme of this novel. Kitty was a compli-cated character. Without personal financial independence, she married to someone she did not love. Before long, she had a love af-fair stealthily with another man. After her husband found out the truth and Kitty was abandoned by her lover, she was taken to a de-pressed countryside by her husband, in which Kitty witnessed countless life and death. After all these experiences, she changed alot and achieved self-awakening. The mental world of Kitty was worth discussing. Kitty's id, ego and superego will be analyzedfrom the perspective of Freudian consciousness theory in this thesis, so as to study how she changed herself and had such a hugespiritual awakening.展开更多

However, it is not very familiar to students, which requires teachers to create certain cultural situations to arouse students' interest in appreciation. This class must introduce the students' thinking into the ancient society, closely relate to the living conditions and totem worship at that time, interpret the pattern code of painted pottery, cut a ribbon-cutting pottery pattern, and draw a painted pottery pattern, so as to realize the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people and their pursuit of a better life.展开更多

Then, backward radiated waves are returned to the direction of incidence by scattering and energy radiation of the surface waves. Hence, the backward radiation could be used in assessing the interracial state between layer and substrate because the surface wave is sensitive to the change of physical properties in a surface region. Painting surface treatment of commercial products and articles occasionally hide the surface region trouble such as roughness and crack. The evaluation of interfacial state under painting layer is very important in the prevention of great accidence, hence the evaluation technique should be nondestructive, fast and easy applicable to the fields. The backward radiations were measured for the painted glass with periodic interfacial roughness immersed in water tank. The effect of interfacial roughness on the angular pattern and frequency spectrum of the ultrasonic backward radiation was investigated to develop the nondestructive technique for interfacial roughness evaluation.展开更多

Unfamiliar with Western post-Renaissance techniques, most notably the use of perspective and of oil paints, these poets expressed their anxiety, distaste, curiosity and appreciation of Western aesthetics and cultural practices through their poems. By focusing on previously un-translated poems of Weng Fanggang 翁方纲 （1733-1818）, Li Xialing 李遐龄 （1768-1832）, Kang Youwei 康有为 （1858-1927） and others, I argue that these poems function as metaphors for the complex ways in which China＇s late imperial elites negotiated their country＇s encounter with the West, both as a tight-knit group bound by dynastic conventions and as a loose network of individual thinkers whose varied talents allowed for highly original reflections on the cultural potential of East-West encounters. I will show that--while strictly adhering to traditional Chinese prosodic conventions--these poets through their creative and nuanced poetic commentaries on Sino-Western relations achieved an unusual degree of cultural cross-fertilization. Intrigued by the ＂foreignness＂ of the art works they set their eyes on, these poets, I will illustrate, were able to expand the horizons of poetic discourse without surrendering to the lure of the foreign or abandoning indigenous formal conventions.展开更多
