The results yield a group of weighted mean ^206pb/^238U ages at 102±0.81 Ma (MSWD=0.23), which show similarity to 93.7±3.4 Ma in the northern part of sampling points and 105±2 Ma in the southern part of sampling points, indicating continuous development of volcanic arc in the north of West Burma Block and subsequent granitic intrusion of late Early Cretaceous. The apatite fission track age of the samples is 22.72±3 Ma, thermal history modeling reveals that the volcanic arc in the north of West Burma Block went through two main stages in the process of uplift-cooling since Cenozoic: rapid uplifting and cooling from Late Oligocene to Early Miocene (29±1 to 20±1 Ma) and slow uplifting and cooling since Early Pliocene (4.2±1 Ma).展开更多

These writings illustrate the intersection of issues of nation, ethnicity, and gender, which are intertwined with the discourse of barbarism: On the one hand, their authors often express anxiety over threats to China's dominance in this area; on the other, frequently resorting to the discourse of barbarism, these accounts, tinged with Sino-centrism, often exoticize and barbarize other cultures, particularly indigenous groups. The eroticized and racialized female body constitutes a privileged site of representation in these writings: On the one hand, travel writings often make a distinction between Han Chinese women and indigenous women, treating the latter as exotic, seductive, dangerous, and/or primitive; on the other hand, as the need to build a strong, modernized multi-ethnic nation became increasingly urgent, Republican authors began to "universalize" the female body, Chinese or indigenous, treating both as threatened and exploited by the Western "newcomer," and thus are (potential) allies sharing a nationalist, anti-imperialist cause.展开更多

Linear plane fitting and curved surface fitting has been performed on each section.Three-dimensional geometric contacts and the extent of subduction are defined quantitatively.Finally,the focal depth distribution is outlined for six typical sections along the Burma arc subduction zone,combining focal mechanisms with background knowledge of geologic structure.Possible dynamic interaction patterns are presented and discussed.This paper provides an elementary method for studying the geometric contact of the Chinese mainland crust with adjacent plates and serves as a global reference for dynamic interactions between plates and related geodynamic investigations.展开更多
