Aus dem Chinesischen und mit einer Nachbemerkung von Wolfgang Kubin
Xiao Xiao ist ein politische Autorin, ein Seismograph der chinesischen Gesellschaft. Sie reagiert in ihren Tagesgedichten unmittelbar auf die aktuellen Ereignisse. International wahrgenommen wird sie vor allem als Schriftstellerin des Feminismus, da sie offen über sich selbst als Frau zu schreiben wagt.
Eine interkulturelle Untersuchung anhand der daoistischen Begriffe wuwei, ganying und ziran
The series Notizen zu Uecker (Notes on Uecker) makes the research results of the Günther Uecker Institute's fellows accessible to the public. The emphasis of the sponsored projects is on a lively examination of Günther Uecker's work. In volume 2, the art scholar Xiao Xiao devotes herself to spiritual concepts from the East Asian region. The focus of her analysis is on the intriguing proximity of philosophical notions of 'action' in the Chinese Daoist tradition and Uecker's artistic practice. Xiao Xiao shows how the notions of wuwei ['non-intervention'], ganying [correlative resonance], and ziran [from-self-so] make determinable movements of thought that are deeply inscribed in Uecker's artistic creative processes.

The primary research questions in this work sought to illuminate and explore how Chinese rural girls negotiate media and gender roles in their daily lives. The ultimate goal of my study was to let these rural girls' voices be heard and understood from their own perspectives. Based on four months of fieldwork in a rural elementary school in the eastern Shandong province of China, which involved observations of and interviews with the participants, the study illustrated the many ways the girls interpreted media gender messages in relation to their own lives. This work will appeal to students and scholars who are interested in understanding children, media, and gender in such a developing country as China. Meanwhile, people interested in knowing the conditions and people of contemporary China, changes and urbanization in its rural area, will also find this book useful.
With the development of technology, damage tolerance design becomes compulsory and fatigue crack propagation life is a necessary design case, e. g. in aerospace industry. For low cycle fatigue problems, the failure process is generally ductile which cannot be described by the known Paris’ law properly. Predicting elastoplastic fatigue crack growth life remains one of the most challenging problems in fracture mechanics. Cohesive zone modeling provides an alternative way to predict crack growth in ductile materials under elastoplastic loading conditions. The investigations of constraint effects have confirmed that cracking depends on the applied load intensity and the load configuration. Present dissertation concerns the constraint effect on the cohesive zone model and the application of the cohesive zone model for three-dimensional low cycle fatigue crack growth predictions. - A new stress-triaxiality-dependent cohesive zone model is proposed to describe 3D elastoplastic fracture process. - A new cyclic cohesive zone model is proposed to describe the fatigue crack growth with both low and high growth rates. - A new stress-triaxiality-dependent cyclic cohesive zone model is proposed and the stress-state affects both the cohesive law and the damage evolution equation.
This thesis reports on innovations in the design and direct synthesis of graphene-based woven fabric (GWF) and multi-layer graphene/porous carbon woven fabric films (MLG/PC) by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using woven copper mesh and nickel mesh as the template. Further, it presents the successful applications of these materials as a platform for solar cells, super capacitors and sensors, making it especially of interest to researchers and graduate students in the fields of materials sciences, nanotechnology and renewable energy.
