Transculturating the modern : Zhang Ruogu\u27s literary life in 1930s Shanghai

Zhang Ruogu 張若谷(1905-1967), now known primarily as an urban writer,2 began his literary career by translating and commenting on French literature in newspapers and journals and subsequently published several urban stories. He was also an active advocate of urban life and played an important role in the introduction of the ideas of the French-style café gathering and European cultural trends. Zhang Ruogu’s literary activities, his admiration of French literature and culture, and his works inspired by the French literary works that he admired or translated, are the focus of investigation of this paper. From Paris to Shanghai and from 19th-century French literature to urban stories of Shanghai of the 1930s, these literary trends and works advanced through a process of translation and interpretation. What occurred during this translation and interpretation process? How does this examination aid us in understanding Zhang Ruogu’s own work and modern Chinese literature? This paper addresses Zhang Ruogu’s translations, adaptations and interpretations of French literature as well as his own literary works

-1 V bias 56 Gbps germanium waveguide p-i-n photodetector with silicon contacts

We demonstrate a silicon-contact-only 56 Gbps germanium waveguide photodetector operating at -1 V. The dark current is below 4 nA and the responsivity is 0.74 A/W at 1550 nm and 0.93 A/W at 1310 nm

Some critical remarks on Zhang's gamma test for independence

Zhang (2008) defines the quotient correlation coefficient to test for dependence and tail dependence of bivariate random samples. He shows that asymptotically the test statistics are gamma distributed. Therefore, he called the corresponding test gamma test. We want to investigate the speed of convergence by a simulation study. Zhang discusses a rank-based version of this gamma test that depends on random numbers drawn from a standard Frechet distribution. We propose an alternative that does not depend on random numbers. We compare the size and the power of this alternative with the well-known t-test, the van der Waerden and the Spearman rank test. Zhang proposes his gamma test also for situations where the dependence is neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing. In contrast to this, we show that the quotient correlation coefficient can only measure monotone patterns of dependence. --test on dependence,rank correlation test,Spearman's p,copula,Lehmann ordering

Study of Rare Exclusive Electroweak Processes at HERA

Results on multi-lepton events at high transverse momenta, isolated lepton events with large missing transverse energy and single W production reported to this conference are based for the first time on the full data samples taken by two colliding experiments, H1 and ZEUS, at HERA. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of about 1fb-1 from both experiments.Comment: Parallel talk at ICHEP08, Philadelphia, USA, July 2008. 4 pages, LaTeX, 4 ps figure

This article previously published in Volume 17 Issue 12 of this journal in December 2018 has been retracted in line with the guidelines  from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE, http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines). Retraction: Zhang W, Sun Q, Chen H, Zhang Q. Effect of Shensong Yangxin on heart failure in preserved ejection fraction rat model. Trop J Pharm Res 2018;  17(12):2427-2432 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/tjpr.v17i12.17 To the editor:Many readers have written to me with questions about my article. We have found out that there was anomission in the experimental design hence some of the results could not be repeated. Therefore, wedecided that the paper should be retracted to avoid misleading the readers. Sincerely, Qian Sun. Keywords: Heart failure, Ejection fraction, Shensong Yangxi
