The comparative study between Chinese Separable Word (Li He Ci) of Verb-Object form and Thai language

汉语离合词是一类特殊的词语，语法功能具有“离合”现象的特性。而泰语中所谓“离合”的语言现象根本不存在，所以泰国学生学习汉语的过程中，离合词成为一种学习难点之一。本文在进行综述的基础上，觉得对国别化的泰国汉语离合词教学研究比较少，所以就选择了这个题目。 文章分成：第一章介绍了论文的选题来源和研究思路与方法；第二章是对前人研究成果做了简要综述；第三章和第四章是汉泰动宾式离合词从语法、语义和语用方面进行对比；第五章和第六章是对泰国学生学汉语离合词习得进行调查，以问卷调查方式调查泰国学生500人，其中分为三组：第一组是在泰国学习汉泰语的高中生200人，第二组是在泰国学汉语的本科生200人，第三组是在...Li He Ci or Separable Word in Chinese is a special word category, because of its separable in grammatical characteristic. However, its uniqueness exists only in Chinese language but do not exist in Thai language. So this becomes a difficulty to do a comparative research. Due to the number of previous research is just a few numbers, so I decided to research on this topic. The design of this res...学位：文学硕士院系专业：海外教育学院_语言学及应用语言学学号：2652010115439

Principal's Role Behavior and Administrative Performance as Perceived by Selected Teachers

This study was based on the assumption that classroom teachers were in an advantageous position to judge their principal's role behavior and their principal's administrative performance. The problem of this study was to determine whether or not significant differences existed between teachers' perceptions of their principal's role behavior; whether or not significant differences existed between teachers' perceptions of their principal's administrative performance; and whether or not there was any relationship between teachers' perceptions of their principal's role behavior and his administrative performance. The findings in this study led to the following conclusions: Factors such as sex, education level, teaching experience, school level, school size, and school district do not effect principal’s behavior or administrative performance. However, differences were found in teacher perceptions for teachers with 5 years or less of teaching experience, rural/urban school setting, principal’s sex don’t differ in their role behavior; differing instead in educational leadership ability. It is concluded that principals are least effective in the area of educational leadership when comparing the four areas of administrative decision-making, communications, general administrative behavior, and educational leadership. They are most effective in general administrative behavior. Principals, in general, tend to exhibit transactional behavior. The majority of teachers do not indicate that their principal's role behavior has any relationship to their administrative performance as school principals

The timing of strike-slip shear along the Ranong and Khlong Marui faults, Thailand

The timing of shear along many important strike-slip faults in Southeast Asia, such as the Ailao Shan-Red River, Mae Ping and Three Pagodas faults, is poorly understood. We present 40Ar/39Ar, U-Pb SHRIMP and microstructural data from the Ranong and Khlong Marui faults of Thailand to show that they experienced a major period of ductile dextral shear during the middle Eocene (48–40 Ma, centered on 44 Ma) which followed two phases of dextral shear along the Ranong Fault, before the Late Cretaceous (>81 Ma) and between the late Paleocene and early Eocene (59–49 Ma). Many of the sheared rocks were part of a pre-kinematic crystalline basement complex, which partially melted and was intruded by Late Cretaceous (81–71 Ma) and early Eocene (48 Ma) tin-bearing granites. Middle Eocene dextral shear at temperatures of ~300–500°C formed extensive mylonite belts through these rocks and was synchronous with granitoid vein emplacement. Dextral shear along the Ranong and Khlong Marui faults occurred at the same time as sinistral shear along the Mae Ping and Three Pagodas faults of northern Thailand, a result of India-Burma coupling in advance of India-Asia collision. In the late Eocene (<37 Ma) the Ranong and Khlong Marui faults were reactivated as curved sinistral branches of the Mae Ping and Three Pagodas faults, which were accommodating lateral extrusion during India-Asia collision and Himalayan orogenesis

A juvenile Elginia and early growth in pareiasaurs

Although pareiasaurs are one of the most abundant and conspicuous elements of Late Permian terrestrial ecosystems, small individuals of these reptiles (either small species or juveniles of large species) are extremely rare. Until now, the smallest known pareiasaur is the type of the late, heavily armored form Anthodon (=Nanoparia) pricei (Bernard Price Institute of Palaeontological Research, Johannesburg 1/6), with a skull length of 10 cm and an inferred snout-vent length of approximately 50 cm. This is presumably an adult of a dwarf form, since all elements of the skull and postcranial skeleton are fully ossified, sutures are closed, and the dermal armor is more highly developed than in any other pareiasaur (Broom and Robinson, 1948; Brink, 1955; Findlay, 1970; Lee, 1997). A second and as yet undescribed specimen (Geological Survey, Pretoria CM86/544) is approximately the same size, being only very slightly larger (Lee, 1997). No other specimens of this taxon are known. An unnumbered humerus in the Amalitsky collection of the Palaeontological Institute, Moscow, is from a pareiasaur of similar size to the second specimen of A. pricei. However, this specimen is presumably a juvenile of a large form: the ends of the humerus are unossified, and the specimen comes from the North Dvina bone beds, which have yielded numerous specimens of the large pareiasaur Scutosaurus but no other pareiasaur taxon. Here, we re-evaluate a specimen originally described as a dicynodont tail, and later as a procolophonoid, and demonstrate that it is actually a juvenile of the pareiasaur Elginia mirabilis. It is also by far the smallest pareiasaur so far known, being approximately half the dimensions of the next smallest individual, the type specimen of Anthodon pricei. The newly recognized specimen provides new information on the ontogeny of pareiasaurs and the homology of some problematic skull elements.P. S. Spencer and M. S. Y. Le

Permian-Triassic Boundary and Fauna at Doi Pha Phlung, Northern Thailand

Paratirolites-Tapashanites fauna associated with Palaeofusulina sinensis and smaller foraminifers of the Dorashamian (Upper Permian) is collected from the Huai Thak Formation distributing at Doi Pha Phlung, Lampang district of northern Thailand. The minor fault forms the boundary between the Huai Thak and the Lower Triassic Phra That Formations. Some ophiceratid ammonoids and Claraia are found in the lowermost horizon of the Phra That Formation. The Permian Huai Thak Formation is composed of clastic and calcareous sediments with intercalation of chert and tuff, and is estimated to be 1,100m thick. The uppermost shale bed of the formation, about 10m below the P/T boundary, yields Paratirolites nakornsrii, Tapashanites yaowalakae sp. Nov., Pseudogastrioceras aff. szechuanense and Xenodiscus? sp. The Lower Triassic ammonite, Ophiceras sakuntala Diener is recognized at the lowest bed 1m above the boundary, and several species of Claraia are also found about 20m above. Those faunas suggest the Otoceras woodwardi Zone of the lower Griesbachian. Palaeofusulina sinensis, Reichelina aff. changhsingensis, smaller foraminifers and Waagenophyllum aff. virgalense are obtained from the Permian limestone at Doi Pha Phlung (Pha Phlung Mt.). The limestone sequence barren of fossils above the Palaeofusulina Zone exceeds the thickness of 100m. The contact between this limestone and the ophiceratid shale is not found in the area. The continuous calcareous bed below the Palaeofusulina Zone yields Pseudophillipsia (Nodiphillipsia) aff. ozawai, Gallowainella meitienenisis, Siamnautilus ruchae gen. et sp. Nov., and many brachiopods including Oldhamina squamosa. The shale bed of the Paratirolites-Tapashanites fauna apparently looks stratigraphically higher than the limestone bed of the Palaeofusulina one in the area, but the latter represents a related heteroic facies of the former. A new genus and spicies of nautiloid, Siamnautilus ruchae, a new species of ammonoid, Ophiceras sakuntala are described in this paper
