In his article "Rebirth of Comparative Literature in China from the Perspective of Mediotranslatology," Wei Guo discusses the "rebirth" of Comparative Literature in China from the development of medio-translatology. He argues that, though translation has received wide attention in Comparative Literature, both domestic and foreign, especially in today's globalized world, the proposition of medio...

We propose a model for the generation of average MORBs based on phase relations in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-CO2 system at pressures from 3 to 7 GPa and in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-Na2OFeO (CMASNF) system at pressures from 0.9 to 1.5 GPa. The MELT seismic tomography (Forsyth et al., 2000) across the East Pacific Rise shows the largest amount of melt centered at 30-km depth and lesser amounts at grea...

This lecture focused on the problem of “Set Cover”, which is known as one of the first proved 21 NP-complete problems[2]. Two formulations will be given and one optimal approximation algorithm based on a greedy strategy is introduced. Further, the problem is generalized to weighted elements and an approximation algorithm derived from an Integer Programming(IP) formulation is presented. 1 Unweig...

Acknowledgements I thank my advisor, Richard Andersen, for his support, direction, and patience since I joined his lab. The members of this lab have been generous with their knowledge and time; they have helped me immensely over the years, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have studied in such a rich intellectual climate comprised of so many brilliant individuals. In particular, I thank Krishn...

We describe and illustrate herein one new genus and eighteen new eriophyoid mite species (Acari: Eriophyoidea) collected in northeast China. They are: Shevtchenkella huzhongiensis sp. nov. on Ulmus davidiana Planch. var. japonica (Sarg. ex Rehder) Nakai (Ulmaceae), Shevtchenkella jingboicus sp. nov. on Acer sp. (Aceraceae), Calepitrimerus flexuosus sp. nov. on Spiraea flexuosa Fisch. ex Cambess...
